/ Small PoG.--Is is d source of coagratulation
with our cilizens that the small pox prevail
ing in our city is of so mild type: Were it not.
SO, God only knows what would become of the
| population One can scarcely turn corner with
out coming bump up against some blear-eyed,
bloated faced negro, whose appearance at once
! shows him to be suffering from the disease. This
morning three cases came to the office Of r. Starr,
4 Esq, and two took up positions at the corner Of
Royal and Dauphin streets and there remained
nnt,i ordered to move on BY the occupant Of the
their way to the pest-house There is one conso-
lation, however, and that is, so many country me-
groes coming to the city that there will hardly be
smallpox enough to go round - and so there is
some chance of the disease being played out."
GEN. GRANT. MoRTALIY OFFENps THE RADIcALs.r
Gen. Grant has given mortal ohense to the radical
Republicans by his report OH the condition OF the
Southern States, which accompanied the Pres- Z,
dents recent message. Nh. Washhufns bili TO
revive the grade of General in order TO raise Gen.
Grant to the rank, will therefore, 1t Is said, meet
with fierce opposition Gen. Grant, it Is said, has
already boen smothered with honors. The rank of
. Lieutenant General, held only by Washington,
! ought to satisfy the ambition of any man. With
i an army of il million men, the late war has been
: successfully ended under Northumberland; q
. peace establishment of fifty thousand men, there
i, fore, cannot require higher grade. Great pains
are taken also, to show that in his recent tours all
over the country, in which Gen. Grant 80 feted
and lonized, that Gen. Grant was aetuated by per-
sonal vanity, and was intoxicated by the incense
of f1attery; that he might, if he chose, have es-
! capped the crowds and the adalation by wearing
plain clothes, instead of going about adorned with
tmsel and attended by brilliant staff And it is
said finally, that he is fishing for the Democratic
: nomination of the Presidency, The Republican is
the organ of these attacks, and while processing
unbounded admiration of the General, pitches into
i him thus:
: ''The bill proposes that when the office of gen
! eral shall become vacant by death or otherwise
then the act shall expire and the office be. abol-
shed. One cannot escape the conclusion, if they
would, that the bill is simply personal one, for
this appears on its face plainly twas written
a bill to raise the salary Of the lieutenant general
and his staff until he dies or is elected President q
the United States and then the reasonable infer
ence is that there is no iE 10 become genera
d latter him. He has received hOpoFs enough surely
