A short time since (3Iareh llili)
one of the editors ol the JSLtil
wrote to Hon. Frank 1. IJIair, ask
ing his views of the political situa
tion, ''either for private use or for
publication, as he rnh;ht lesio-nai e."

without sayiiiL? wlu ther we should
publish or not. however. But in
rsniuch as the views of leading
men are, in a measure, the rightful
property of their followers the
people we take the liberty of ex
tracting from the letter before tis
the following paraurrajlis on the
subject of the amendments hereto
fore assailed by the Mull :
Wasmixgtox, 3Iarch 8. 1ST1.
Dear Sir: Yours of the 11th in
stant lias just been received. I
am rlatttred by your request that
I should endeavor to compose the
''dead issue'" controversy amontx
our friends in the South, and I
miu;ht be tempted to proffer my
advice to them if I thought it
'vonld be effective. lut our eo
i!e don't like to be advised. They
prefer discussion, and to form their
opinions on public, questions by
that process. I have contributed
in that wav, and shall continue to
do so to the utmost ot rav abil
ity. . W
In mv judgement the actual is
sue of the Campaign is the broad
one. whether we have, or are to
have, a federal Union on a consti
tutional basis, or an absolute Gov
ernment, with power in the hands
of those who possess it to pro
long its own existence indefinitely.
This draws in review the past and
continuing process by which the
arbitrary (ioverrfmeut of to-day
had been established and is to be
maintained, and the reconstruction
Acts and the amendments must
necessarily figure in this review ;
but the question whether they went
through the forms that entitle
them to be put on the statute book
is really an immaterial one. It
does not change the argument a
particle whether the forms were
complied with or not, and it does
not effect our ability to put the
Government in the hands of the
people if we carry the election,
whether they are valid or invalid.
The manner in which these
amendments were adopted, and
the still more significant 'measures
passed and proposed for their en
forcement, otiidit to satisfy men of
all sections and parties that liberty
itself is at stake in the coming con
flict. No thoughtful observer of
the present aspect of public -affairs,
who does not from timidity will
fully shut his eyes to the conclu
sions of his reason, can doubt that
tl
lose
who, to
U'i'asp power, have
subverted the organic law in de
fiance of the known will of the peo
ple, will fail to adopt any other
measures of fraud cr violence
which may be found necessary to
maintain them in the possession of
it, and that our only security
auainst new rind rreater violence
than has heretofore been practiced,
is by the timely awakening of the
people to the real dangers which
surround them so that a spirit
will be aroustd which will over-
iwe and disarm those daring
nemies. Not to set-, or to effect

chiefly from a mistaken idea that

This is not the object, and it is a
Very inadequate view of the sub
ject. This suffrage really depends
very little on the amendments,
because, amonir other things, it has
not accomplished the object of
those who imposed it (which was
to irive them the control of the
South), and they have beun,
themselves, already to dispense
with it in the District of Columbia,
where it was first started. But the
States which have adopted it do
not propose to revoke it, and will
not, I am confident, unless, after a
fair trial, it is shown to be neeees- i
sary for a rod jrovernmenl. The j
Fifteenth Amendment will, in this
event, be easily disposed of, for the ; no1". OM

THE GTIKAT AMERICAN BROTIIEU-IN-LAW
ABOUT TO BE KE-NOMIXATED.
From the World. J
The statements made in the fol
lowing extracts from a telegram in
the Tribune tally with our informa
tion. Of course, the Tribune
would not have published such a
dispatch if its editor did not look
with complacency on the attempts
to circumvent and unhorse General
G rant :
" Vasiiin(;ton, 3Tarch 22. A
threat deal of quiet discussion is
tives oi laru'o mlliience and na
tional reputation. This opposition
is no doubt caused in some part
by recent political events, but its
result, also, to a lare extent, from
the manifestation of the latent
hostility that has been accumulat

the present administration, and
which naturally shows itself about,
a year befirre the time for holding

THE CHIEF ARGUMENT
of those who oppose the re-nomination
of General Grant is that de
feat would be certain if he should
be the nominee. They maintain
that the dissensions that exist in
the Bopublieun party can only be
healed by the nomination of a new
man, against whom no portion of
the party entertain feelings of
coldness or animosity, and that,
in view oi the increased strength,
vigor, and confidence of the Dem
ocrats, any other course would be
suiridal.
Democrats look upon these
symptoms with almost as much
regret as pleasure, for they think

His numerous enemies in
the Hepublican party probably
underrate his strength and the iu
tluence he can exert by means of
the Federal patronage in packing
their National Convention. This
influence is most, potent in States
that are certain to vote against,
him in t he elect ion. Take 31 issotiri
for example. A politician must
be demented or insane who sup
poses there is a possible chance
for the electorial votes of Missouri
to be given to Grant, and yet he
will easily secure the delegates
fiom that State. The more hope
less the prospects of the Republi
can party in any State, the more
subservient it will prove to the
wishes ot the man who bestows
ollices and plunder. Foi other ex
amples TAKE THE SOUTHERN STASES. ;
There is no Republican party iu
those States except the camp-followers
of the administration. The
President, with crafty tricksters
like Cameron to manage for him,
will probably get all those States
to vote for him in the nominating
convention, whereas not two of
them at most, will give him their
electorial votes. Every State
that is certain to vote against him
in the election will probably sup
port his nomination. The smaller
the Republican minority in any
State, and the more dependent it
is on Federal patronage, the more
easily it will yield to the wishes of
the President in the selection ol
delegates to the National Conven
tion. If the nomination of Gen.
Grant depended upon the strong
Radical States, there is no reasona
ble doubt that he would be sup
planted. 3Iassachusetts with Stun

for getting the delegates from
New York, although the Fenton
wing of the party may possibly
prevent it ; but he certain! v will
not get the electorial votes from

that the Radical party should

Exatfr in His Pulpit
The Rev. Benjamin Eaton, first
and only rector of Trinity Episco
pal Church, Galveston, was strick
en with death while standing in
his pulpit, April 2d. The Galves
ton SYeics thus describes the af
fecting scene :
He ascended the pulpit. An
nouncing his text, "There is yet
room," all trembling beneath the
weight of his last message, he re
ferred to one alter another of the
friends of his youth and the com
municants of his church that had
gone before. Then, as if the thin
veil that hides the spiritual from
mortal vision had been rent, mid
his eye could see such scenes as
none can see and live, his fine de
scriptive powers bent themselves
to their task. He painted death
entering the church door, passing
up the broad aisle, laving his bony
hand to the right and to the left;
breathing his cold, clammy breath
on the cheek of beauty, and wait
ing the silver hairs of age now
touching the father, then the son,
here the mother, there the daugh
ter. As the spectre so plain to his
entranced vision advanced to the
chancel rail, and as he saw that
his time had come his words strug
gled for utterance. He faltered.
His weakening limbs staggered.
A gentleman who advanced, to his
assistance was wafted back. For
ten minutes more he spoke, his
words only audible to those near
him. The excitement of the au
dience was fearful. The silence ol
death was only broken by the
words he strove to speak. Three
times "he struggled to continue,
saving : "I am very sick, but I
rmist say." Again he staggered.
He fell into the arms of .Air. C. R.
Hughes, as he raised his hands to
pronounce the ascription. Like
3Ioses, that other sevant of God,
he was too weak to. hold up his
hands, which was done by 31 r.
Hughes, as he said his last pulpit
words, '-To God the Father." The
hand of death that lay on his
shoulder was too he'tivy for him
self, for his friends. His tongue
refused to speak; his hand drop
ped. He was carried to his rec
tory, where he died.
Senator 3Iorton made a speech
from the balcony of a hotel in
Washington, the other day, in
which he renominated Grant for the
Presidency in 1872. The Senator
spoke at length, eulogistic ot the
President, who, with Colfax, sat
on the balcony through it all, and
listened to his own praises. No
doubt it made him feel good to
hear himself so well spoken of, and
to see in the future himself presi
dential gift receiver for a second
term. But other people have some
thing to say about that, as well as
3Iorton. And we guess they will
say it in a different way too. Let
Grant imagine himself what he
pleases now, but there are stern
realities for him hereafter. He has
been weighed in the balance and
found wanting, and his kingdom
given to the democracy. After
the 4th of 3Iarch, a different indi
vidual will occupy the White
House.- Ucmocratie Vntctruai.

HOW THEY DRESS PADDING GAR
TERS LACING AND VARIOUS
OTHER THINGS.
Dr. Dio Lewis has always been
deeply interesied in the girls.
When young, nothing fascinated
him so much, and even now he ad
mires them as much as ever.
THE CHIEF TOPIC
on which he writes for their benefit
is health, and he begins by giving
them good advice about their boots
and shoes. As a ' ule their soles are
too narrow. A young lady whose
foot is four inches wide wears a
shoe with a sole only two inches
and a half.. The consequence is
that in walking the step of the
girls is unsteady and vibrates side
ways. Besides, t he pressure of the
upper leather check's t he circulid ion
in the foot and makes it cold. This
sort of shoes, with an elastic garter
worn obout the leg just below the
knee, is the cause why the great
majority of girls have cold feet.
If the soles of the shoes were made
broad, this diiliculty would not
only be obviated, but the foot it
self would look smaller and hand
somer. Moreover, such shoes keep
in shape much longer than narrow
ones. Neither should they have
high heels. The high, small heels
lately in fashions are absurd. They
tjiid to weaken the ankle, jam the
toes into the sharp points of the
boots and cripple the feet.
ONE OF THE RAREST THINGS
in the world is to meet with a wo
man who walks well. 3 Irs. Charles
Ivcaii Ellen Tree was an admir
able walker. But how can this be
done if a girl goes about, perking
her chin up, sticking out her shoul
der blades and wriggling herself
along iu a very stubby, stumbling
way. For fine walking, low, wide
heels and broad soles, especially
about the toes, are necessary. The
body must be at perfect liberty
about the waist. The corset is a
deadly enemy to liiie walking.
Next, the direction is to carry the
t he chin close to 1 he neck. Sl range
to say the chin is the pivot on
which the whole body turns in
walking. If the chin is wrong, the
shoulders are wrong, the hips are
wrong the w hole gait is wrong.
A most important rule of health is
to stand up straight. Walk erect,
sit erect, and even when you are in
bed at night do not put three pil
lows under your head and
watch your toes all night, but keep
yourself straight. If you do this
your iungs, heart, stomach and all
the. other organs of the body will
have room to work. It is impos
sible even to have a good voice
unless you stand erect.
THE FULL DRESS
of low neck and short sleeves is as
immodest as it is unhealthy. The
mania for extravagant trimmings
of women's dress has become in
sufferable. Ear-rings are barba-
rious; linger-riugs are vulgar; th
wearing of false hair is an atrocity.
Preparations for the complexion
ire among the most objectionable
outrages which woman perpetrates
upon herself. 1 he habit ol padding
the bust of dresses, so universal
among dressmakers, destroys the
natural functions of the breasts.
Lacing produces a hideous dis
tortion. The enormous paddings
worn below the waist heat and in-
jure the spine. Vjaricrs seriousiv
influence the circulation of the
blood. It is not wrong to wish to
keep the stocking smoothe, and il
the calf of the leg be very large,
the knee small and the circulation
vigorous, an elastic garter may be
used without serious injury. "But,"
says Dr. Lewis, "as most Amcrica i
girls have slender legs"- this we
are as'sured is not true "as then1
is but little enlargement of t he cal !'
the pressure of the garter requind
to keep the stocking in position is
is very injurious. It produces ab
sorption of the most, important
muscles, and therefore a weakness
of the feet." He recommends, in
stead of garters, that the stockings
should be fastened by straps to
the waist.
THE IDLENESS OF OUR GIRLS
is deplorable. A friend has th"ee
daughters ami two sons, all grown
up. He was a shop-keeper, and
one of these sons was employed in
the shop, while the three girls did
nothing but dress, p!av a little,
tit i "
maKc calls, receive calls, go shop
ping, and, (lining the summer, vis
it t lie country lor t heir lu ait h. The
