Wed. Col aa sea Be Wet, wh bbe used in the Weel ‘ovtlon of the ad Why Baltimore should Join Cincinnati. For the sake of overthrowing Grant and the policy pursued by his Administration, the Democratic party is willing to enter Into an honorable political alliance and wupport a respectable Presidential ticket. While it would not say that the end to be attained would justify a resort to any means, it does say that a radical change in the existing order of things at Washington not only will justify, but imperiously de- mands coJjperation with that large section pf the Republican party which has the tame object in view. The only point of Inquiry with these practical Democrats is this: Would such an alliance be success ful? Assuming as the basis of our calcula- Mons that the Cincinnati nominations are ratified by the Baltimore Convention, let us survey the field and see what will bea fair answer to the question just pro- pounded, Under the new apportionment the num- ber of electoral votes to be cast in this campaign will be three hundred and fifty- seven, a majority of which will be one hundred and seventy-nine. Now, if the Baltimore Convention nomi- nates GREELEY and Brown, we re; following nine Northern States as abso- lutely certain to vate for them, namely: California, Connecticut, Indiana, Minneso- ta, Nebraska, Nevada, New York, ¢ and Wisconsin. These States give eighty- four electoral votes Is there any doubt about this? Look at the list. California, Iudiana, Nevada, New York, and Oregon are beyond all question Democratic now, on a fair showing of their votes; and they are not going to bolt the Baltimore nominations in an emergency like the present, Besides, in Indiana, Ne~ vada, und New York, the number of Lib- eral Republicans is large and influential. The last elections in the other four States proved that the Republicans hold them by majorities so slender that a breath will blow them away. The recent election of Gen. Ferry to the Senate has settled the matter for Connecticut ; while the general uprising at the West will easily overwhelm the narrow margin by which Grant holds Minnesota, Nebraska, and Wisconsin, It is admitted on all hands, and for ob- vious reasons, that GreeLey and Brown are more acceptable to the ant masses in the South than any othe dates whose names were before the Cincin- nati Convention. If accepted at Balti- more, they are sure to receive the votes of the following eleven former slavehold- ing States : Delaware, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri, North Car- plina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and Weot Virginia, These States give one bun- fred.and three electoral votes, With the Hingle exception of Louisiana, they were either never for Grant or have utterly deserted his standard, They will not dream of going back to him now. As to Louisiana, that State was only kept in the Republican traces by WakmorH and his friends. They are now up in arms against Grant, and that disposes of Louisiana, Now, the combined votes of these nine Northern and eleven Southern States amount to one hundred and eighty-seven. This is eight more than a majority of the whole Union. On this showing does any well-informed politician doubt that it is in the power of the Democrats and Liberals to elect a President and Vice-President in November? But let us survey the doubtful portions of thefield. New Hampshire, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and IMlinois cast sixty-two electoral votes. At the March election, with entire harmony in its ranks, and after putting forth unprecedented exer- tions, the Republican party carried New Hampshire by about twelve hundred ma- jority. Unless our information is wholly at fault, the Senatorial contest at the June dessivu of the Legislature wi phuce ihe Granite State in the same category with Connecticut, New Jersey elected s Democratic Governor last fall, ‘The Grayr party is torn by feuds, and thi isan active and steadily increasing body of Liberal Republicans in that State, It will be a marvel if the small Grant ma- jority is not destroyed in November. The defection from Grant in Pennsylvania in- cludes large masses of Republicans, who are led by some of the ablest and most skilful politicians inthe State, There is scarcely a doubt that the Republican can- didate for Governor will be defeated in October; and for thirty years past Penn- sylvania has never reversed in November the verdict she rendered in October, Ili- nois belongs in the doubtful column; and itis too early to determine whether the Liberals, under the lead of Senator Trum- BULL and Goy, PALMER, will be able to car- ry it against the great Gift-Taker, though th es are that they will, The Sta of Arkansas, Florida, and South Carolina cast sixteen vot GRANT has championed the cause of corruption, robbery, and general rascality in all of them, His latest majorities in the two States first named were very small, The chances ave that both will vote a; him in November, ‘Though his minions have bankrupted South Carolina, and though there is a general revolt against his army of thieving earpet-bi theless, by means of the larg and the bayonets of his 8 hopes to hold the Stat ties are that be will, Is this nota fair survey of the political Geld, North and South? The votes of the twenty States first named are sufficient to fefeat Grant, if Baltimore unites with Cincinnati, Add to their yotes the fifty o vote urds, he and the probabili- votes of New Hampshire, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Arkansas, and Florida, and the sum total is two hundred and thirty- seven, or fifty-eight more than a majority of the whole. If the opposition to Grant unites upon one ticket he is sure to be defeated. This being so, ought they not to unite? Patri- otism and common sense can give bui one answer to this question. ee Grant and Chorpenning Creswell. It is reported from Washington that President Grant has just paid a visit to Postmaster-General Creswei. at his resi+ dence in Maryland. This fact, unimpor- tant enough in itself, interesting as showing that Grant cherishes a warm feel- ing for Creswet, and that the gross of- ficial misconduct of the Postmast General has not in any degree alienated from him the confidence of the President, but on the contrary has brought ther near together, The great achievement of Mr. Cresweit since he came into office is the noted CuorrenntnG fraud, This transaction had every element of official villainy except success in obtaining the money, and the failure in that respect was not CRESWELL's fault. So far as he was concerned nothing was neglected; and but for an accident, the parties interested would have got out of the Treasury what they desired. The circumstances of this case illustrate so im- pressively the kind of qualities which find favor with President Grant that we will recount them. Groroe Cuorrenstno, a contractor froiw 1861 till 1867 for carrying the mail between Salt Lake City and Sacramento and San Pedro, California, was paid the full amount of his contract, and in addi- tion, under a special act of Congress, he received from Postmaster-General Brown extra allowances to the amount of 109,000. He put in an additional claim, but it was rejected, and thus the case was finally settled and closed in the Post Office Department. CHorPEnnine, how- ever, still endeavoring to get more money, attempted to induce Postmaster-General Hox to reopen the matter, but in vain; and when the Hon, Montgomery BiArr came into office he brought the claim before him, but he declined to allow anything further, holding that as the subject had been dis- posed of by one of his predecessors he had no right to reopen it. CnonrENNING now came in with a new ¢ for @ larger amount, asserting that there had beena mistake in calculating the weight of certain mails, and upon this he asked for 81,000; but Mr. Brare declinct to attow this clainr also, CHORPENNING afterward tried Post- master-General RANDALL with the same result, the decision of Postmaster-General Brown being reaffirmed. Next he applied to President Jounson, who requested Mr. RANDALL to reopen the case and examine the facts anew; but this Mr, Raypauu manfully declined to do, Having thus been foiled at every point, CuoRPENNING turned his attention to other quarters, and succeeded in interesting Gen. Guayr in his job, Under Grant's auspices President JoHuNnson was induced once more to direct the Postmaster-General to reopen the case; but Mr. Ranpauw referred the matter to Attorney-General STANBERY, who decided not only that the case could not be reopened, but that the President had not the power to order it to be reopened. CHORPENNING next appears before the Court of Claims asking for $176,000, the amount having been greatly increased, anda large and active Ring having been organized in support of the enterprise. The Court refused to allow him anything, and reaffirmed the action of Postmaster-General Brown as necessarily final, The next step wasan application to the Committee on Claims in the House of Representatives, where #176,000 was asked for likewise, but without success, Mr. RanvALL's firm and determined re- sistance to the swindle having been based upon the action of Mr. McLELLAN, Second Assistiit Postiasler-Guneckl, “the hiftu- ence of Gen. GRANT was now employed to effect his removal, and the substitution of & more satisfactory person in his stead. GRANT sent autographic letters full of devotion to ANDREW JOHNSON, and of bit- terness against McLeLLaN, whom he de- nounced as a Radical, and in whose place he asked for the appointment of Gen. Guces A. Smitu; but still the game did not win. Finally, however, the 4th of March, 1869, placed Grant and the CHORPENNING Ring in possession of the Government, Grant at once appointed CresweLi Postmaster-General, CREsWwELL appointed Grant's candidate, SMitH, as his second assistant, and Smita immediately assumed control of the Contract office. At the same time CresweL, appointed Grorcs Earxe, his law partner and the attorney of the CHoRPENNING Ring,to be First Assistant Postmaster-General ; and next he took care to secure the appointment of an acceptable Auditor in the Treasury Department, See- retary Boutwe.. had promised that office to Mr. McLeuian, but Creswew easily kept him out of it and secured the place for a candidate of his own, Thus every- thiak was.get lu geet poaning order, apd fortune seemed to smile upon CHorp NING. Mr. Earvx, having become sufficiently familiar with the routine of the Depart- ment, resigned his office, and then the great fraud was fully launched, In the mean time the amount sought for had grown enormously, Instead of the original sum of $81,000, and the ‘ucreased sum of $176,- 000, which the Court of Claims and the Committee on Claims had refused, Earnie now demanded $443,000; and for this enor- mous amount CresweL speedily signed a requisition on the Treasury, This requis tion was taken to Judge Manrry, the Sixth Auditor; and in justice to this official we are bound to say that he offered no resist- ance to the completion of the fraud, But unfortunately for the parties gaged, Mantiy had in his bureau a clerk named HAzurrr, Who appears to huve been made of less malleable material, Lo the utter consternation of all concerned, Haz 1irr took means through which Mr, Dawes of Massachusetts became informed re- specting the affair, and as the money had not yet been actually drawn from the Treasury, Mr, Dawes had time to make a specch stating most of the facts we have now repeated, and to hurry a resolution through Congress expressly forbidding the payment. ‘Thus was defeated one of the most stupen- dous swindles ever attempted upon the Government, a swindle in which some of the most prominent officers of the Post Office Departiwent were directly impli- cated, and which should have sent its p moters to the penitentiary, But than this, President Granv cannot be held innocent, He had not only attempted to help the scheme through while ANDREW JOUNSON Was sti President, but as soon as more he had become President himself he has tened to put the cofitrol of the Post Office Department and of its accounts in the hands of Crrswett, EARLE, SMITH, and MARTIN, although he had ample reason to suspect, or rather to know, that their re- lations with Crorpenntna were such as should disquatity them from holding office. No one who considers the facts which we have now related will be surprised that the Secor fraud, and the other kindred transactions of Secretary Ronson in the Navy Department, have likewise been tol- erated and approved by President Gnawr. The plunder of the National Treasury is evidently not repugnant to his mind any more than the proceeds of such plunder are disagreeable to the men whom, 'n dell- ance of public opinion aud polftical prv- dence, he persists in keeping at the head of executive departments. ——— Grant and the Methodist Conference. ‘The M. B. General Conference will to day perform its most important work. Right bishops are to be elected, The South asks for a bishop, Burope asks for one, and the colored brethren think that they ought to have a superintendent of African descent. The Southern men mentioned as having the best chance are Dr. NgLson FE. CoBLetcH of Holston, and Dr. Erasmus Q. Fo.ier of Georgia, Dr. Newman of the Metropolitan Church of Washington is also a candidate for the Episcopacy, and Presi- dent Grant is said to have expressed anxi- ety for his election, It is certain that when Vice-President CoLrax was in Brooklyn he made an arrangement that Newman should preach in Dr. TALMApGE’s church during the session of the Conference, and Newman has preached in accordance with the arrangement. There is nothing of a business nature to call Dr. Newman to Brooklyn, as he is not a delegate. Never- theless he has been present at the sessions of the Conference, and spared no effort to ingratiate himself with the brethren. A flattering notice of him has also appeared in the official paper. If the Mothodists want such a bishop, they ought to have hii; but Grant is too poor a President to be a good bishop- maker. However, it would be a good thing to put Dr. Newman where he would have something else to do besides trying to run the Government and elect kuaves Senators. ‘The following is a list of the candidates most likely to be elected: 5 Central Onl York . Eppy, Baltiinore; E. Q. ee Col. Joun W, Forvey, the distinguished journalist, known as the WARwicK of President BUCHANAN, and recognized as the Pennsylvania right bower of President Grant, is understood to be wavering in his support of Guanr. Ex- Congressmen Haskin and Hickman (dubbed when in Congress by Bucnaxan's Government organ Onestes and PyLapxs), who made For- Ney Clerk of the House of Representatives of the Thirty-sixth Congress, and who in the ‘Thirty-ffth Congress contributed so much to- ward the defeat of BUCHANAN’s Administration and the success of FORNEY and his newspaper, the Press, are both zealous supporters of Gree- LEY. HICKMAN was one of the leading spirits of the Pennsylvania delegation in the Cincinnati Convention, while HASKIN was there equally zealous as an outside Democratic ally, each ¢ tributing his influence in favor of the nomina- tion of the Farmer of Chappaqua. Forney should stand shoulder to shoulder with his old Anti-Lecompton friends in the support of GREE-~ Ley, and leave the sinking ship of the Gift~ ‘Taker, as he likes always to be avd generally is on the winning side, A Gneecey man bas wagered witha friend of Granr one hundred dollars that Forney will be openly for GxexLEY in the event of the Baltimore Convention en- dorsing him, He will win his bet. ———— - ‘The statement made in a morning paper that the Hon, Thomas C.

In 1870, when there should have been, according to the books, ten thousand guns in the arsenals, there were in reality but two thousand to be found—only one-fifth of the number that had been paid for. In like manner, while Gen, 8u- ZANNE belleved there were three millions of musk: ts in the arsenals, Gen. THOUMAS reported that there were but one million, leaving a dif- ference of two millions unaccounted for, In consequence of the robberies of high officials, France found herself unprepared for war when hostilities occurred with Prussia, and this dis- honesty of men tn high places was one of the prime causes of the humiMations which she has suffered.

When that time comes, and not until then, the public will learn the full extent of the robberies which have been perpetrated on the public funds. Then subordinate officials will be able to tell the truth without fear of losing thelr places for doing so, and details of corruption which will astonish and disgust the whole community will be dragged to light.

THE DOOM OF THE USURPER. _——~—- THE BLACK CLOUD OF DEPEAT HANGING OVER PENNSYLVANIA, Preparing for the Onset—Grea ‘Tampering with the Bourbon D Correspondence of The Sun. Prmaperenta, May 20.—The great con- vention of officeholders will meet tn this city about two weeks from this time. Notwithstand- ing its importance, It attracts little attention and less comment in this city. Indeed, except among Federal oMceholders, who are being assessed by the Postmaster, Bingham, Treasurer of the State Fxecutive Committee, you never hear the Con- vention spoken of. The Cincinnat! Convention absorbed more general attention from the Phila~ delphians « month prior to its assembling than this Convention that {sto meet here ina fort- | night. This is something unusual for Philadel- phia, for it is well known that this city always | cots up a terrible beating of gongs whenever it | chances to be setected for any national or other extraordinary purpose. It crows over the act of others in depositing the golden egg in its poor nest like the veriest male fowl of the dunghill spectes, It is significant, therefore, that this Conven tlon to nominate Grant does not attract even” passing attention. It may be urged that the fact that the meeting of this Convention is a mere formal matter; that {t comes here simply to record the edicts of Morton, Chandler, Cam- eron, et al.; that in the absence of a contest for the President(s! nomination, there is nothing to excite enthusiasm. But this is not true, THR MISTAKE A YRAR AGO. ‘The simple fact is the people of Philadelphia take no special interest in the approaching gathering, because they feel no spectal interest in the work It will perform, and this feeling has been very much intensified and extended since the nomination of Horace Greeley at Cincinnati. Even the men here who are most wedded to regular nominations, and who will do the shout- ing for Grant next month, shake their heads du- biously when the perspective is discussed, and freely admit the Republican party made a most egregious blunder in not throwing the great Gift-Taker overboard a year ago. A prominent local politician said to me a day or two ago that the Republican party accepted Grant in 1868 simply from expediency; that instead of ving satisfaction to the country and strength fo the great part that accepted him, he has ncensi the people and destroyed the party that made him, and thus tne grand military expedi- ent of 1868 will become the chief mourner tn the funeral proceaston that will escort the Republican y to the cemetery of national politics in 1s72. t Is too late now to change front, and to do so would expose the weakness of Grant and leave him only with a following of officeholders like ‘Tom Murphy of New York, and Postinaster Bingham of Philadelphia. His nomination tn 1808 was & party expedient—It ts now a party hocessity, the army of ofticeholders making up the party, “Of eourse,” said this gentleman, Grant will be nominated here next month, but T firmly belleve his will be the last Presidential nomination the Repubitcan party will ever make. onger Texpect to vote for him, but my hope Is thaa ny faith ip Nis dlectlaa, sutT feel some consolation in the reflection that Horace Gree- ley may succeed him. DARK SHADOWS IN GRANT'S BKY. ‘This is not an isolated case. The Administra tion men affect to laugh at Greeley's candida ture, but it i# a most melancholy effort.

ACTION OF THE STATE COMMITTEE. The Republican State Executive Committee met in Harrisburg last week to perfect rT ization, Less than one-half the members were present, and the meeting Was rather mournful jn character. ‘The prospect In the Btate was not regarded by the gentlemen of the committee as particularly rosy, and all that some hard and mysterious work will be necessary to carry Pennsylvania, ‘The only item of business trans acted was to direct the Chairman, Russell Errett, United States Assessor in Fitteburgh, to ap- point a Committee of Fifteen to conduct the campaign, The Chairman always selects a few trusty Individuals for this Important service, After the committee ts formed the body itself becomes subordinate, and whenever the Chair- man speaks of the State Executive Committee, he means the fifteen of his choosing, This committee will have exclusive charge of the Republican can- vass, will make all assessments upon officeholders and direct all disbursements.

ACTION OF THE DEMOCRACY. ‘Tho Democratic State Convention will meet at Reading on the 0th of May. Much Interest Is felt in its proceedings. ¢ gentlemen most minently named forthe Gubernatorial nom- ination are Senator Chas. R. Buckalew of Colum~ bia, Gen. Geo. W. Cass of Pittsburg, and Con- an Mi Hand of the Lawrence district. think the fight lies between Cass and Bucka- lew, with the chances decidedly in favor of the former. McClelland might come In ahead should the race lengthen out to three or four hi but there seems no prospect of this now. Case is anxious for the nomination, and is reported to be worth $5,000,000. He was before the Demo- gratic Convention three years ago, and was de- feated by Asa Packer. But im ant as are the nominations to be made at Reading, the action of that body with reference to the candidature of Horace Greeley is more important, Is exciting more general Interest and discussion. The Bourbons of the Democracy—and there are more of them in this State than fn any other three States—are work~ ing assiduously to defeat Greeley's endorsement at Baltimore, and if possible will commit the State Convention to their views. The f ds of Grant are In full sympathy with these old } nacles, and the Administratton papers are di eloquent about the disgrace of abandoning the Democratic ot ization and coalescing with Liberal Republicans to elect such a man as Hor- ace Greeley, who has said harder things about the Democracy, and contributed more to its de- fet, than any other man in the country. And these old antiquarians are being allured by the paid sirens of the National Administration, and Will not see that they are being drawn into a fatal vortex. WHAT DEMOCRATS SER.

HONEST HORACE GREELEY'S PART IN THE FREMONT CAMPAIGN. se Pr Beca Candidate— written Incident of the Great Rev- and Ge From the Galveston (Texas) Standard, The nomination of the Hon. Horace Greeley by the Cincinnati Convention to the dential ca aiency recalls some str its that are full of interest. While men may differ about Mr. Gresley, & to whether he is the most available of the opposition candidates, or the roper man tobe Hr ident, yet all that In many respects Mi. Greeley Is among the fore- most men of his time, About such men, the world ts eres inter. gated. In 1855, Hee reeley and the New York Tritune were already a power. The Republi- ans were preparing to present in IA to the suffrage of the people for the Presidency, some name, distinctively Republican, in opposition to Mr. Buchanan, who {twas supposed would be the candidate of the Democracy. It was desir- jo not to seloot a Whig, if » reliable Republi- gan with Democratic antecedents could be found. ‘The disruption of the Whig party had left the friends of freedom almost tional political organization. ‘The Liberty and the Free Soll party were local tonists were, to a great extent, non-voters, and were not politically organized, LOOKING FOR THE COMING MAN, To hundreds of lips, and in sores of small as~ seubli Suest jon constantly arose Who is he, that will bring us order out of the’ chaos ? Who will concentrate upon himself the diffused political force of the Old Line Whigs, of the Free Democrats, and of the lavery men, roper? Of course, the New York Zriune would ecome the organ and the oracle. No one dis- ited that the Zrdune would take the lead by he divine right of fitness. But, who was to be the man for whom it should speak At that juncture California was rising, as tn a Golden mist above the shores of the Pacitc Vithin the Golden orne thither by the spirit of adventure, re men of ev type. Conspicuous among them were Palmer, Cook & Co., formerly of the quaint old tsland ‘of Nan- tucket. They were bankers in San Franciaco, and large dealers in Spanish land grants. ‘One of the firm, the Hon, George Wright, had just served a term in Congress. Another member of the firm, Mr. Joseph C. Palmer, was in the North negotiating those Spanish grants aimong capital ists, especially in Philadelphia, COL. JOHN C. FREMONT. At the same time, Col. John Charles Fremont of California was in Washington, seeking from the Government the patent for his Mariposa land grant. Col. Fremont was still fresh from the airof the Rocky Mountains. To the renown of the soldier and the leader, be had added the gen more enduring renown of the explorer and discoverer. ‘The title of the “Path Find- er,” “bestowed upon him, indicated the Opular appreciation of the peaceful hero- jam by which he had planted the Stars and Stripes upon the topmost peak of the Rock Mountains. His name began to be whispered secretly in connection with the Presidential candidacy. Added to his own remarkable quali- ties, he had many exterior advantages. H record was heroic. He was a Democrat. was a Southern man. Born In the South, all hi id habits were of the South. He w to Senator Benton, at that time no small advan His wife brought to his ald powers of mind worthy of her father, to-~ gether with the graces of culture and charms of person and of manner, AN UNWRITTEN UNC! e 8 INT OF THR CAMPAIGN. The Democracy, recognizing his own native qualities and the felicitous exterior circum- stances surrounding him, regarded him as the most uvattbte man-of the the. They scght it to aocept their _nominatloa nditions. ‘The interview upon at the Astor House, in New York, Fremont, the Hon. N. P. Banks, then Secretary of War Mr. Floyd, is yet an unwritten incident of the great revo- lution. It will become one of the sources of its history. But Col. Fremont foresaw the decay of the Democratic party, and the rise and dominance of the Republicans. He hud been present in the United States Senate Cham- ber during the stormy debate upon, the "Com- promise Resolutions” of 1880. Resolutions, which, in their very passage indicated the end of compromise and. the bursting forth of a new and a positive policy in the Government. He had witnessed the flerce struggle upon the Kan- fas issue. A struggle that was not the strife of factions but a grand conflict of ideas. He beheld the decadence of Clay, of Webster, of Calhoun and of Berrien, and with them, of their interpretation of our Government. ' He discovered that with all his ability, Douglas was ephemeral, because his whole being was Himply a neutral ground, for the rlot of con suming passions. Therefore, there was no one with youth and vigor to marshal and order the Democracy. Circumstances, at that tine brought Col, Fremont into close communica- tion with leading anti-slavery men, of all shades of liberal opinion. He perceived the stuff of whieh they were made, He observed the almost preordination, physical, mental, and moral, by Which they were precipitated Into the conflict. Manifestly the seeptre of dominion was passing over tothem. Col. Fremont. declined. the over- tures of the Democracy, and awaited events. ‘A CONFERENCE OF 1 PANS.
