THE PREsIDENT-GEN. GRANT AND
political RAIDERS.

The following extract Is the concluding para

Chronicle upon the recent signal military sue

There is great deal to be written yet about
this rebellion, but no episode will be more In
teresting than that which relates how The firm
ness and sound Of the President and the rARi
tary sqgacity Of Gen. Hd!lsek retained Grant in
his command, against the hoIrls, brdtbliA9S, and
eypoauldttons Of Senator'S, heprsSe" tdtiVsS, and
roll icidnS iHnumerdbls. His famous answer TO |
Buckuer, 81 propose TO move Immediately on |

he fulfilled the expectations that an earnest and ,
loyal people formed Of him.
The ABOVE not only contains much truth, but |
Is re nark4bls as appearing In the organ OF the
War Department, edited by the Secretary of
Ihs Senate. It's praise Of the President ls no
more = az simple justice.
FL, there 10 snother marked significance In |
the paragraph. The Editor, who Is, at the
same time, Secretary Of the Senate, denouuces
"ths ho,Ols, bra0ltVS, and sEpOstUlGtio'I Of SsH-
4tors AVID Representative" &c, which have
sought TO shake Its frrnness and sound sense
Of tie President " as to the good military quail
t.es of General Grant.
We do not, at this moment, distinctly renem-
ber 10 what individual Senators, whose "howls
and drawings" are mentioned, the Secretary
alludes. But If such "howls and drawings
have disgraced the Senate and House of Repre-
senatlves, in attempts to influence the President
in hs selection Of the generals to lead our
arml,s, it is quite proper and seasonable that
they should be thus held up to public scorn;
and we thank the Secretary of the Senate
for having thus Couragcously done lis duty;
AMI in this connection we feel at liberty L. re-
iuark that the conviction i5 fast settling II the

the selection Of his generals, but as to the con.

JurOus to the public interests. For this reason
VIC nan the timely rebuke thus given in the war
organ az a favorable symptom that, hereafter,
the President may be relieved from this mis-.
