GENERAL GRANT AND ADMIRAL FARRAGUT-
The promotion Of Grant and Farragut to the
rank Of general and admiral respectively is a
compliment not only to these distinguished
officers, but to the whole army and navy. II
is an exponent, also, Of the increased military
and naval power Of the United States, as de-
veloped by the tremendous exigencies Of the
recent rebellion. A few years ago we had
comparatively no army and no navy, and many
people were in favor Of abolishing the little
that we had West Point had Its bitter oppo-
nents and the expense Of Preparing ourfew ships
ofwar was grudgingly bestowed. A noisy If
not numerous party desired to disband our
militia, and scarcely any attention was paid to
our coast defences. Occasionally some wise
statesman or journalist called for reform in
these matters; but nearly everybody expected
. century Of profound peace, and all prepara-
tions for possible wars were abandoned.
Consequently when the rebellion broke out
the republic was by no means ready for 80
great q conflict The conspiratos IN the Cabi-
net had shrewdly scattered our diminutive
army and miniature feet far and wide, and we
had TO 60 to work 10 create soldiers and to
build navy. In 1860 we were one Of the
weakest Powers, and in 1865 we were one Of the
strongest. During that brief period the colos-
sal energies Of the American people, directed
almost exclusively to military and naval AZ
fairs, had covered the land with troops, admir-
ably armed and comfortably equipped, and
the sea with gunboats and iron-clads. The
military and naval genius OF the country kept
pace with these developments. In Grant,
Sherman, Sheridan, Thomas, Hancock and
others We found competent leaders for our
army, and greater than John Paul Jones ap-
peared in the person Of Farragut 10 shed un-
dying lustre upon the annals Of our navy In
honoring such men ss these We honor also
the soldiers and sailors whom they commanded
They are representatives Of the two profes-
sions Of arms; and all who have shared 10 their
victories must feel an honest pride in their
promotion.

The CONGRESSIONAL REroRT on THE MEMPHIS
RToTs.-The committee appointed by the House
Of Representatives to investigate into the causes
Of the late terrible riots in Memphis have sub
mitted their report. II the committee had
been sent South for the purpose Of making
report upon the tone Of public feeling there
from radical and prejudiced point Of view,
their statements might pass in that light. But
considered as report upon the special busi
ness In charge, il is gross and shameless vio-
lation Of the confidence Of Congress- and should
be 30 regarded. The committee, or majority
Of them, are not content TO give their own i'm
pressions a. 10 the origin Of the riot, but por-
tray In horrifying colors the shocking scenes
that followed, charging all the massacrcs,
house-burnings and other atrocities upon re-
turned rebel soldiers, or attributing TO them
the bitter hostility entertained by the people
Of Memphis against everything and everybody
favorable TO the Union. The committee do
not appear to have discoversd-or they do not
say 30 II they have--that the most respectable
portion Of the citizens Of Memphis unanimously
deprecated the whole revolving AFFAIR but 60
outside their clear line Of duty TO express their
opinions about the state Of public sentiment
throughout the Southern country. They state
as their deliberate opinion that the sentiment
Of the "South is not one Of full acquiescence in
the results Of the war. but that there 10 among
them lingering hope that their fsvoritc doc
trine Of secession may yet be vindicaied"
