Mr. MeDiil was bora In Ohio in 1884, removed to Iowa In 1877, served several terms as Cir suit and District Judge, and was a member of the Forty-tblrd and Forty-fourth Con esses. He ha never taken any very active part in politics. WILLUX P. Frtk has received ths Republican nomination for Senator from Maine, to succeed Blaine. Gm.

Grant's Dignity. The question is une that has grown up, or been pushed up, before the public mind only withm a few months. When we first began to know the General, there was nobody's dignity in all the world that took care of itself more effectually, without the slightest attention from anybody, than U. S. Grant's. Perhaps the reason why it needed so little care was that it got so little from himself, in tbose days when there was such tremendous work to do, and he was one ol those rare men who stuck doggedly to the work, without any side glances at the newspapers to see how is dignity was getting on. He did not write dramatic dispatches nor put him self into impressive attitudes. When it came to that kind of thing, General Banks was unspeakably more majestic. His dignity was sedulously taken care of; and so, in a different way, was General Butler's. But Grant kept driving ahead at his business, "moving immediately on the enemy's works," as if he didn't have any such baggage as a dignity to look after. After that tremendous fighting that ended in the fall of

ictuburg. hn was sent for to Washington, where he wad the universal admiration; but he told tbo PreHident ant' his Council of War that he wished they would hurry up aud give him his orders, for ho Was "tlrodof thiilinwhn9!m.j Aud when the American people heard that, thor I'lnnnurl thi k.ln 111,. that, they clapped their had, like the multitudinous waves, and said to one another: "Here's dignity nowi Here's a man that is not thinking about feathers in his cap or star on his shoulder! Here's another man as Abraham Lincoln!" By and by some of the ooliticians suoeeecl. ed in getting at him in his tent in Virginia and whispered to him confidentially thai a gentleman in hi position oould have anything he wished for that was in the gift of the neonle. Couldn't hn wumu ir.or ahu, alter retlection. he said there was one thing. He did wish the Common Conncii ot Galena would make a plank walk as far as his front irate. But the Hoest thing, It seems to me, in all Grant's ca . ' reer. wits bis willingness to sit still and hardly hold his own alone- the trenches looking toward Richmond, with all the country impatiently wondering why brant did not strike, while Sheridan and Sherman, his subordinates, were in the full blase of popular admiration and he himself a little in the shadow. This was heroic. In those brave old days it probably did not occur to anv one in the eivilised vrorld that measures were necessary to secure Ulysses Grant's dignity. But now thins- have chattered. The limes is passing; round the hat, and the Independent is bidding- for a pension and a title, and Mr. Hayes is trying to invent a new pattern of epaulet, all because Mr. Grant's dignity is in peril and something must be done for it What can have made tbe difference? I suppose that there were people who voted for Grant for President in 1868, because he "deserved" it, or was "entitled" to it, or it was "conferring honor" on him. In every election, great or small, there are foob who give their voles for such reasons. But good citizens, worthy of the trust of citizenship, voted for him not for Uranfs sake, but for the country's snae. w e inougni inat ne naa qualities that were needed in the Presidency the simple straightforwardness; the aevosron to intone auty, without re gard to public interest; tbe faculty and the will to find the right place; the set resolution that would tight it through nn a well-considered line of back-door in Hue nee; opposition in front and rear. it o uiougnt we xnew our man, nod were voting for things like these when we voted for Grant for President. We thought we were doing a good thing i or tne uignity not ot urant, out of the office, by putting a worthy man into it Well, there is no denying it, the country was partly disappointed Without repeating Mr. Summer') overstrained indictment against Grant's AununiKumion, ws nave to ac Knowl edge that at the very points at which we most relied on him ho failed us. The faculty of picking hi subordinates, which had been conspicuous in tbe field, was conspicuously absent in the Presidency. The dogged tenacity of purpose gave away on the one line of policy on which he committed himself most resolutely the Civil Service Re form. And the superiority to all self-seek ing- -nere was tne most lamentable lack. o citizen since Washington refused crown, no President since Presidents began to be had had so manv and suoh nooie opportunities for act of durnity. so many occasions there were when, with the highest oroorietv. he misrht , . .... r . l. r ' :-7 -" nave courteously uecitneo girts from person who misrht be candidates for official favor, but he missed these opportunities. The "Salary Grab" bill in which Cottfrrees, for instance, of fered Mr. Grant, then President, mote or less, for himself, as a reward for his slsrninir the bill that was to enrich them, mirhtbave been returned to the House which it originated, with a sharp rebuke for the insult it implied. But it was not. He pocketed tbe insult and the cash. It was a part of theditrnitvof General Grant1 character, as we first knew him, that he "did not like the show busiyeas." But, after eight years In the White House, be found that there was hardly anything in the world that he ikett so much, and stntisrhtwav he net oat, like a Mrs. Jarley s wax figure, for a "tour among the crowned heads of Europe." The tour of the world to see and learn hi a worthy thing to undertake; but a tour to be seen is different. Tb spectacle Of thlt brave. hoMeat ant. uwr, oarrieu about like a eircus, and snt aged in squabbles about his place nt htbk, under the Idea that ht was de-

fending the honor of his country, Is among the things which have lnipresstd his particular friends that ouunhin.r needs to be done for his dignity. It ia safe to say that the reason whv tha American people did not re-elH t General Grant for President was that ott the whole, they did not like him for President and thought they oouid do better. It could not have been on account of the ''flapdoodle'' of (:. ism" that was fed out so profusely to their readers by the llemU and the .. 1 will not say that nobody believed this staff; for 1 ouee met an houe-t and m-iumd1m, man who tie. clared, wit!tvr. niuH-aritnco of bidn r in earnest, that he believed there wtu a deep-laid plan to subvert Ihe Hepul). lie and make Grant Kntperon Hut this was an individual wwentriutv. The reasons against electing him, with most of us, wum not that wu could not have him for a third terra if we wanted him, but that wo did not want him. And the reaaou why he was not tiotuinated was that the engineers of thi machine had reason to suspect how luiuiy of us there are who are waiting for w just an occasion as suoh a nomination

I a either Grant's or Blaine's have been to give some practical expression of our disapproval by sacrificing the next election if ncoiwarv. to the interests of the next generation. uut ne was not nominated nor e ect. I ei; and now behold his friends prent .1.:- ... .1 ... ' mg mis to tne uuollc. with a nuwk grieved expression of countenance, ih a very bad case, and pleading with tear in their cye, to have something dm for his dignity. "The Cincinnati! business is played out," your correspondents think. The Cincinnati bui ne.ss is the only thing that suits thtse time; and, that failing, we must nave an act of Congress to meet the case. I admit the need. Ex-President Grant is not in a dignified position. John Uuincv Adams was. Mr. 1V.1Lwas, air. riimore was. But Grant is not. What shout it? Mr. Hayes is, can be doue 1 Giving him some more money and th nniv.ini i . . ; nwHw s in?vitaKrj wm itiii heln the matter. This method was tried ami carried out in the ease of the Duke of Marlborough, and is a demon-tratiro failure. It served the dignitv neither of the Duke nor of the Nation. To the above by Kev. Leonard Wooley Bacon in the N. Y. ltukitndtnt an exchange savs: The remedy lies with Mr. Grant himself. A few lines from his pen, in that terse and direct style which he know how to use, would do somethintr toward setting the matter right. For example: "To the Editor of S. 1.

It General Grant has any such lett.'r as these in his portfolio, they might be published just now with tbe greatest advantage to his dignity. "On the OtheTSde of the Month,There was some Republican hilarity observable shortly after the Presidential election over an alleged discovery that the Democratic Committee, aided by certain Congressmen, had been sending under frank a considerable amount of mail matter which had no claim to free transportation. The testimony of General Walker, Secretary of the Democratic Congressional Corantitle, before the committee appointed to investigate these alleged frauds, is not at all calculated to increase the hilarity spoken of. Indeed, its most noticeable effect will be to make the Republican managers laugh if we may resort to the ver nacular "on the other side of the mouth." General Walker's testimony showed that large quantities of matter mailed by him at WashimrUm some stamped and some franked were stonoed by the postmaster at Washington, or elsewhere, and neither forwarded to their destination nor returned to him, In proof of this fact he produced ome live hundred letters of complaint that packages sent had not been received. Among them were several letters from postmasters. He also produced the evidence that a letter directed to him had been opened by Republican officials. The testimony bears with especial weiirht upon the Washington postmaster, whoso uncertainty about the date when the canceling stamp was changed in his office was one of the interesting: features of the Philp ex amination. )d roil JVee Pre.
