The Chicago Republican says:--
at tIanspires, IN connection with the effort
OfsOme of our banks to increase their deoogt
accounts, that the officers are not only offering
merchants extra inducements In the way of
selling them Eastern exchange at lower rates
than other banks, but they also offer To ont up
bonds with their depositors as security
for their balances. We are really aston
ished that any bank officer should make
any such proposition. II Is short-sighted
policy and can only result in loss 10 any bank
that pursqes II: We do not believe there Is
bank In this city that requires to resort to such
an expedient TO Increase its business, for they
merchants are making but small Drodts, the
bankers ought to be satisfied. But all this Is tne
result OF breaking over the line and paying ln-
terest on deposits. II induces recklessness'
which every sound banker viii guard agaRs'i

dtplomdtique with very little ceremony, and be-
came favortte with all the Mexicans in conse.
quence. During the lmperlalst occupation OF

was generally unable to get the attendance or
medical care that his broken do Wn health re-
quired. His friends, however, at length took
him by force to SaltIllo, aud there his health
improved. While In that city he had to keep

began TO fail again, and died as above stated.

gencer says;-It is understood in well informed
circles that the President will cheerfully and
promptly enter upon the execution of the Re-
construction act of the last session Of Congress-
giving, if occasion requires explicit instructions
to the commanding Generals.
The utmost care will be taken to guard against
any possible collision with the generally under
stood wishes of Congress. 1t is believed, how
ever, that all the Cabinet are agreed upon the
principles that the President OF the United
States, under the Constitution, has no power
to exonerate himself from tne ultimate
responsibility for all Executive action under the
Government to the extent that he shall take
care the laws are faithfully executed. Should
an occasion unfortunately force itself, or be
forced upon him in which he must consent to
be disrobed or supplanted from his constitu.
tional jurisdiction, or else require his commands
under the law to be implicitly obeyed by the
power of the army aud navy, If necessary, there
Is. we are satisfied, no authority for SAYING what
line of action the Administration would adopt.

General Grant ON Reconsideration.

special despatch to the Boston Advertiser
says
'There has been good deal of talk during
the past two or three days about General
Grants position on the Reconstruction ques-
tion. 1t will be remembered that some time
last summer, when the johnson parCy was in
the days of its childhood, one Colonel HIllyer,
formerly on General Grants staff, wrote letter
to somebody in Indiana, saying the general
indorsed the Presidents policy, which allie
cation was met by saying that neither Hill
yer nor any one else had authority TO
speak for him. The Democratic members
OF the Judiciary Committee Of the
House, it appears, thought a point for
the President might be made out of
the matter, and accordingly General Grant
and Colonel HIllyer were summoned to
give evidence in the impeachment inquiry
Hillyer testified that long interview took
place in February OF last year, between the
President, General Grant, and himself and that
his letter as to General Grants position was
founded ON what was then said. Hillyer had
but recently returned from an extended tour in
the South, and was giving some account of
affairs down there. He spoke of the generally
unsettled condition, and General Grant indorsed
his report by saying he had discovered the same
state of facts in his hurried trip short time
before. The President made some observation
TO the effect that matters would not be-
come right till the States were restored
TO the Union, and that this ought
to be done as soon as possible, to
which both his hearers assented. Gen. Grant
was before the Committee on two occasions and
his evidence was far enough from being pleasing
to the gentlemen by whom he was called He
said in effect, as Is understood that he had not
thought it his province TO NEEDLE in polltlcs
that he had never been asked by the President
for his advice or opinions on political matters;
that in all he had said about the necessity for
early restoration of the Union he had spoken as
a military man and as q citizen, and not as u
politician; that In his view military rule ought
| TO cease as soon as possible consistent with
| Justice and safety; that the Southern peo-
| ple themselves should be anxious for
| restoration of the civil authority; that he had
always understood the Presidents work in the
| South as of temporary character, and at most
as but an aid TO Congress in setting up the civil
governments; that he had not sympathized with
/ the President In his conflict with Congress; that
he thought the fixing OF terms of reconstruction
| was a matter belonging to Congress; that in his
/ Judgment the South made a grave mistake in
not long ago heartily acceOtng the terms offered
| that he stood firmly by the Congressional plan
| and that he was anxious noW as he hal been
alteration of the Rebel States TO the privilege of
| representation in Congress-"

(Ala.) Advertiser says:-RegistratiO in this
county closed on Saturday last. The total
number registered is 1855; whites, 1909; col

the white vote for the last six years has not
exceeded 800.
