GEN. GRANTS POSITION
An Authoritative Statement.
HE CAN'T SUPPORT TRAITORS.

The Chicag @ Republican publishes a
lengthy statement in reference to Gen.
Grants political views which was shown
to the General and his consent obtained
to its publication. While the General
declines to endorse the action of any
party, he says he would support only
men for Office who were loyal and up
held the war. He says neither the
President or Seward have any authority
for claiming that he endorses the John
son policy.
We make the following brief extract
from his statement
In this connection, he said that, with
out expressing any views of his own for
or against the johnson policy, he yet
felt it to be misfortune for Mr.. johnson
that the advocates of his policy in the
States through which we had Just passed,
Missouri, Illinois and Indiana, had in
some instances put upon their tickets men
who in 1901 and in 1862 had been
guilty of known disloyalty to the govern
ment; because land it was SAL in a
very emphatic manner) he felt That to
ask men whose sons had shed theta blood
for the Uoion to vote for men who had
been disleyal to it, was the greatest
insult that could be offered.
He particularly instanced, as a specimen
of this Objectionable class of men, Hester
Clymer, the Democratic candidate for
Governor of Pennsylvania, saying that
to ask any soldier to vote for such a
man, of at one time known disloyaltyt
against another who had served four
years in the Union Army, with credit to
himself and benefit to his country, was
a gross insult. If men desired to sup.
port NJ. JOhnson's policy let them, but
at all events let them vote only for such
men as were true to their country in 1861 g.

Dear Sir: Your note of the 2Sth instant
is received. The inquiry you make | an
swer briefly. The main question in the
cases of Garesche and Cummings, to which
you refer, was whether the test-oath re-
quired by the constitution of Missouri was
constitutional? On the part of those gentle
men, my associate, Mr. David tDudley
Field, of New York, and myself, MAIN
tainel that it was not, because of the pro-
vision in the tenth section in the first arti-
Gle of the constitution of the United States
that no State shall pass a,y bill of attain
der OF sex post facto law" TO this con-
clusion Il majority of the court came, as
was well known few days before the close
of the term. Ii was aso known, certainly
was known to me, that the failure to an
nounce the decision was not because any
one of the judges constituting the majority
then doubted upon the question, but sup
pose it was mainly owing to the fact that
the Judge selected to deliver the opinion
h I'd not time before the close of the term to
prepare such one as the Importance and
gravity Of the question required. That
this will be done during the recess, and
that it will be delivered at the next term,
| have no doubt And cannot forbcar
to add that, when it will be dunc. the cause
of constitutional liberty and religious free
dom will be secured against all attempts to
strike at either that may be made in peri
DDS of temporary excitement, aud Oblivion
of the rights Of the citizen and the true in
terests of the country. ..... ...:,....

The Latest Particulars "A ctiOn OF tf
United States Authorities.

BUFFALO, June 3.-Ths afternoon the Associa-
ted Press Agent has just returned from trip TO
the steamer Michigan, anchored about four miles
below the city. There is large fiat boat fastcn-
ed to her guns, having on board abodt4bo men,
as near could he computed. The Fenian Off
GERS captured arc ON board the Michigan, under
guard. ........... .....
The captain of the Michigan is anxiously a.
waiting instructions as to what he shall do with
his prisoners. United States District Attorney
Dart is also awaiting instructions from Washing
ton MS to their disposition. 1t is considered un-
safe to bring them ashore, as an effort might be
made by their fre Ids 10 release them. There is
considerable excitement in this city, but the gen.
eral feeling is that the government has done its
duty, and our people az glad that the Fcnians
have fallen into American hai ds rather than
they should have been captured by. tho British
force. +
II is variously estimated that from $50 TO 500
men tried to leave here last in tugs and fiat boats
probably to reinforce the Fenans, but owing to
the arrangements madelby the United States At
torncy and General Barry, in organizing picket
boats, they were obliged to turn back. 1t is re-
ported, that force of Fenians have landed, at a
point about ten miles above here, on Lake Eric,
and some fears are expected that Cellingwood is
the point threatened. 60
