Next President.

[>'ew York Correspondence Philadelphia Times.] By present indications Thomas A. Hendricks will be nominated on the first ballot in 1880, unless the party organs and leaders sell out for cash In hand and Tilden wins again. Tilden and Hendricks may extinguish each and Judge Thurman succeed. The vice president will be almost certain to be a southerner, Tom Bayard having a chance, Gordon or Ransom the probability. Jn this sity Hendricks is the favorite of the Kelley wing, to which belongs Lieutenant Governor Dorsheimer, aud Bayard continues to bf- the pet of the Belmont wing; the latter accounts forßelmontpersonally arraigning Hendricks on the money question. There is no eastern candidate but McClellan, and his possibilities are not above the vice presidency. The certainty of democratic success will make the next nomination hard to purchase. It was sold to Tilden before because it was not thought to be worth much. The presidency as a sure thingis notpriceable; in a lottery it can be computed. There are $220,000,000 to be spent by the president and party every year, of which onehalf is in their absolute control.”
