The following extract from n Tribune ed
%itorial, q column long, mildly dcnunciatory
of Gen. Grant, illustrates the political mud
die in the North:
awe are not complaining of Gen. Grant,
he has q right to his opinions. He may
honestly sustain the President, just as other
people honestly oppose him. 1t is n differ
cnce of opinion which does not in the least
detract from his renown as a soldier, nor
from his patriotism and fidelity rs a citizen.
But we do most decidedly object to the ut
tempt of the Times to make him a Radical,
when there is no written or spoken word,
that we have ever seen OF heard, TO justify
the assertion, and WI lie all his acts, and the
nets of his loudest friends, lead to q con-
trary inference. These friends of Gen.
Grant are not so dishonest"
The Herald, until last week extremely
radical, hoists the name of Grant MS Presi-
dent, with Lee, of Virginia, as Vice Presi-
dent, and is now furious in its assaults upon
Congress, and it bowls over what it pleas
antly calls "nigger supremacy in the South
This, we understand is its logic. The
Herald is probably rs well informed as tine
Times, ard it openly claims Gen. Grant as
its ally.
The World writes o long article TO show
that in entering the War Office General
Grant acted of his own free choice, and
was not co-erced by the compulsive string
ency of military discipline. Grant himself
notified Stanton of his acceptance. The
word il plain enough to all men. The edi-
torial concludes: Therefore we challenge
the statement of the Times that Gen. Grant
supports Congress, and demand the evil
dence."
