THE POSITION OF GENEkAL
GRANT.

The commanding position Which
General Grant occupies before the ma
ton as the head Of its military cstab-
lishment, renders his political status a
subject of profound interest. The evl-
dcnces heretofore given are strong that
he is in accord with the conservative
and constitutional attitude Of the Pres
idcnt But ifa doubt fingered on this
question, it is set at rest by the follow
inc pregnant sentences from the Presl-
dents speech at the New York ban
ouot, Gen. Grant being present. The
President said:
I have helped my distinguished
friend, Gen. Grant, to fight the rebels

TEIE psESiDEGNT'S'NEW NOiSh
SPEECH.

When the President remarked IN his
late New York speech that the South
left the Union because it believed that
it's rights were not secure init, nc never
said a truer thing in his life. That was
precisely the reason; and, as he OBJ
served, when the Southern States dld
secede, they made n Constitution which
differed in no essential particular from
that Of the United States. This IS the
plain. matter fact way to treat the
subject, and all talk about treason, re-
bcllion and disloyalty, is nonsense and
stuff, and the sooner ii is dropped the
better, The South followed the exam
Die set by George Washington and a
number of other rebels; and the only
difference between the two cases is that
one WAS q success and the other was
not. What folly, then, to say, III a
country which owes its very existence
to "treason," that the South has been
ouiltv of "rebellion.' The President
takes the plain, practical, common
sense view of the matter, and acting up
ON it, we trust he will order the release
the great State prisoner.

Cattle Disease in Kentucky.

The farmers of Scott, Fayettc, and
counties in Kentucky, are in
a state of CONSERVATION over the de-
struction of many heads Of fine cattle,
by an unknown disease communicated
to them by Texas cattle, $500 head Of
which were recently brought there on
Speculation 1t seems that these Tex
rs cattle, while themselves imperviOus
to the terrible and quickly fatal disease
communicate it to the native stock by
poisoning the grass and water with their
saliva. Several instances have occur
red, wherein many valuable steers and
milch cows have been destroyed thus,
within twcnty-four hours after eating of
the grass or drinking of water so
poisoned, and many ofthe farmers have
thus suffered heavy losses. AS the
Texas cattle are being distributed in all
parts OF many counties, there isa gen
cral apprehension of disastrous losses.
The disease is described rs similar to
that which the cattle of Missouri were
once infected, and which, upon being
traced to its origin, resulted in the pro-
hibition by Legislature Of any importa-
tions Of Texas cattle.

Editor,

From the Richmond Examiner, It'll
General Miles has been relieved from
the command Of the Department of
Fortress Monroe, and Jefferson Davis
has been relieved from Miles. General
Burton succeeds Miles, and we trust
that he will not walk in the footsteps
ofhis predecessor. The example tf
Miles is full Of heArtless errors ana
crimes to be avoided, and he will be a
base fellow indeed who shall be his
copyist. General Burton has an OPP
portunity Of showing consideration for
fallen greatness, and for showing that
respect for misfortune which, in right
hearts, is not denied even to adog.
Mr. Davis represents the Southland
to the hearts of the people whom he
ruled he is the South How like his
fate to the States which composed the
Confcderacy. They are imprisoned
till as well as he, though they, like
him, have had recently some privileges
granted them. President Johnson has
won our esteem by his generous de-
mcanor towards the States, while the
Radicals have provoked our undying
hate by their mercilcss conduct. Miles
has represented the Radicals at For
tress Monroe, and in his treatment of
Mr.. Davis he has strictly observed the
manner Of his masters towards the
South.
In cruelty he has out Herodcd IIerod
and has sunk himself immeasurably be-
low Sir Hudson Lowe. Sir Hudson
Lowe, perhaps, had no example to
warn him against meanuess to his
prisoner, but Loves example existed
for Miles, and he, instead of avoiding
its atrocities, v.lcly out-did them. The
man who shall now with Miles and
Lowe both before him. maltreat JEFF
