THE SIDEWALRS.-It Il memory
serves us right, there is a city ordinance
requiring the sidewalks to be kept in
order, and that the city authorities have
the power to enforce the act That it is
not done is very evident. On the most
principal Streets the sidewalks are
sadly out of order, being from o to
two feet below the proper grade, and Pc
destrians after dark are subject to sun
dry stumbles. We noticed q place on
Main street yesterday, opposite No. 2O5,
where the dag stones look very shaky.
Should an accident occur and an action
OF damages for . heavy amoqnt be
brought against the city, the improve
ment committee might awake from their
slumbers.

Grnmrs "Prirnfe,, Lefier.

The Radical who insisted upor
making public, in the House of lsep
resentatiycs that letter of Genera
Grants to the President marked "pri
vate,' could not, it seems to us, be
animated with friendly intentions to-
wards the distinguished writer. We
do not think Grant will thank the
Rump for making public a production
which, it is clear, he intended for the
eye of the President alone.
The object Of dragging this letter
to light, Of course, is to show that the
President, in removing Mr.. Secretary
Stanton and General Sheridan frcm
office, ran counter to the wishes, aud
the feelings, and the judgment, even,
Of the General-in-Chicf. But what of
that Is the General.in-Chief infalli-
