GEN. GRANT AND THE JEWS.

II is amusing TO observe the howl which ID
being raised against General Grant for his or.
der excluding Jew traders from his lines. Il Is
not difficult to detect tho dni1l,s Of the engi-
ncers Of this popular clamer. portion Of It
Is tho result OF a judicious expenditure Of mon
ey on tho part Of those pecuninrIly interested;
portion Is the cunning device Of the enemy
in our midst TO injure or produce the rcsigna-
ton Of tho only Union general whom they ro-
ally fear; while the balance is the resource of
mcdiocrlty to avCnge itSelfupou genius, which
1t instinctively hates and fears upon whatever
theatre Of human affairs it is exhibited.
There is certain class Of minds, loyal and
disloyal, in this country who can never forgive
General Grant for what he has done TOW ards
suppreeSing the rebellion. They arc the human
harpics who have aSsailed, with their hldcous
cutlery, rising genius in all ages and countries.
Generals jackson, Washington, and Napoleon
BonapartU, all encountered the same hue and
cry till their fame was established upon a ,,-
cure foundation, when their prosecutors were
Immediately transformed Into their parasites
and 1unGios.
But this class Of Gen. Grants enemies. who
are really the most dangerous, because their
motives are not suspected, may as well change
tactics, as nothing which they can say or do
can at all affect the estimate which generous
public has placed upon his actions, and which
Impartial history will confirm. Persecution
and injnsticO may indeed make him prema-
turely the popular Idol, but cannot detract from
bis well-earned military reputation. Tho fu.
turc essayist on the war will derive some of bis
favoritc Illustrations from the brilliant career
OF the American hero who subjugated larger
and better defended empire within briefer Do
Rod than any conqucror Of ancient or modern
times.
But though Gen. Grant has nothing 10 fear
from the malice Of his enemies, the Cnlon
cause and the country have, and we hope that
the loyal members Of Congress will not lose
moment in taking up the resolutions of Mcssrs.
Powell and Pendleton and amending them BY
striking ont all except the onacting clause, and
substitute an expression OF the national thanks
and gratitude for his many important services.

thing would be astiri such packing of goods
and chattels by understanding to and fro of

confusion generally! Amid oil, along would
come shylOck and offer 10 buy OUT the sutlcr, or
any one else who might be pauic-strlcken
enough to sell or offer ttreUty dollars toad to

alarm would spread like prairie fire-camp fol-
lowers and others would leave what they could
not at once transport across the river, which
In many cases, were vast quantities these
goods would fall Into the hands of Jews and
traitors, as the spoils of their Calschoods and
deception. This was systematic game, played
whenever opportunity offered. Eye-wltueSscs
Of these faets, now in this city, arc not few.

Persons who have fed here for refuge from
tho malignant fury Of organized treason are
appalled, at the sympathy with treason stalking
the streets Of Washington, unrobuked and un-
punished. Nor Is 1t less matter Of indignant
wonder, that Jew, with no tic to bind him to
this Government, Except the chance to get
Sold,) should be able, for hccnty dollars, 10 Oh

Union men had boon driven, but could yet no
