JBOUT GENERAL GRASI.

Mr. Wendell Phillips says :--" In General Grant
himself we have no confidence." Ik demands of
Congress, "instantly on its assembling, to impeach
Andrew Johnson," and prays, " Oh, for one hour's
use of sotn,.! immortal pen, like that of Tacitus or
Burke, to brand with undying iafamy these heart-
less Republicans (Schenck and Morgan) who sit
reckoning up party counters and planning exctries
for laziness, while men, imperilled through their
stupidity and selfishness, are murdered by hundreds
around them !" Wendell's jacket is too loose. A
straighter one would improve his health.—Boston
Post.
GRANT AS A TARTAR.--The New York Star
says :—lt begins to look very much as if the Radi-
cals had caught a Tartar in electing General
Grant. During his stay in this city the General
has snubbed them at every point. He flatly re-
fused to dine with the Union Leaguers, and has
even declined to accept any attention from that
quarter. The army of Radical patriots in search of
office he contemptuously spurns, and he has
given standing orders to his private secretary to
burn all their office-begging letters. This con-
duct is striking consternation into the ranks of
the politicians, but it meets the approval of the
masses. The mere fact that General Grant, at
this early period, has firmess enough to give the
Radicals the cut direct augurs well for an inde-
pendent administration. If he will only con-
tinue to " fight it out in that line," shaping his
course so as to subserve the interests of the people
rather than those of the politicians, he will de-
serve and receive the commendation of all good
citizens.

To Form A GALLERY.—GeneraI Grant is coming
to New York to spend a week or two. We take
the liberty of letting out one of his secrets. He in-
tends to get the photograph of every place-hunter
that approaches him, and to send all off to Wash-
ington to be filed in a conspicuous place for his in-
formation during the entire term of his administra-
tion.—New York Times.

General Grant is impartial in his distribution oJ
favours in New York. He dines with Pierrepont
war Democrat ; breakfasts with Greeley, Republi
can ; and dines again with Hoffman, Democrat, a
a dinner given in honour of Evarts, Johnson Re•
npublica.

GENERAL GRANT'S ForausE.—The Washington
correspondent of the St. Louis Democrat says:—
" General Grant is rich already, and by cautious in-
vestments he is destined to be very rich one day,
ranking with the most opulent. He owns thirty-
eight acres of land within the corporate limits of
Washington, worth $2,000 an acre. His house
here is held at $60,000. A farm near St. Louis and
houses at Galena and in Philadelphia should add
$lOO,OOO to the former items. Three hundred
thousand dollars will probably not be in excess of
the President elect's possessions. Meanwhile his
commercial training and fondness of material specu-
lations, added to his good luck and caution, are ex-
emplifying themselves in judicious operations in
many honourable fields. It is altogether probable
that we shall have in Grant a President who, exer-
cising all due liberality and hospitality in the Chief
Magistracy, will be the first President since Wash-
ington to be discreet and practical in the manage-
ment of his private fortune. His comparative youth
wi►l permit him, should he live to the average age
of Presidents, thirty years' duration after the ex-
piration of his term of office.

A. New York paper thinks General Grant cannot
be a politician, because be "paid promptly for an
overcoat he bought" in that city cn Monday.
Nov. IG.—The " Grant hat" has already appeared
on the promenade in New York.
