GRANT AND SIT ERrEAN.

The New York Tribune, whose word
as Radical oracle and law>giver none
can gainsay and few successfully assail,
in speaking of Gen. Grants late conduct
in relation to the policy of administration
of the government, says:
Those who charge us with assailing Grant
entirely misapprehend our position. We
are not conscious of having ever, In the
slightest degree, done him injustice. The
question is one of fact. What Is his POSI-
ton? He is named as a Radical candidate
for the Presidency. Is he a Radical? IL
he is, let it be made apparent. One word
from Grant is all we want. If he is not a
Radical, very we'll. In that case We shall
not vote for him, although we may respect
him none the less. There is no soldier,
for instance, we honor more than General
sherman. We should crown him with
laurels. and write his name on a hundred
monuments. But we do not think we
would vote for him as President of the
limited States, because he is an ayowed be-
liever in the policy of Andrew johnson.
II Is an honest difference of opinion, moth
inc more. Gen. Sherman would make
sincere President. He would do what he
deemed to be best. But his policy would
moi he ours his counsellors would, proba-
blv be men we did not trust, and hiG adj
ministration would sustain principles
which we deem pernicious. 1t Is because
Ger. Sherman is so regarded that his name
Is not mentioned by some Of our friends as
! candidate. They honor him; bat unless
he accepts their platform they will not vote
for him. Now, is Grant not in precisely
the same position? We ask for informa-

CONFISCATIOE-

A great many fools are talking about
confscating the property of certain peo>
pie; and among the rest Gov. BrownlOw
declares that he will recommend a meas.
ure of this sort to the Legislature against
those who discharge employees because
they voted the Radical ticket in the late
election.
Now, there are but two ways for Ten
nessee to get possession of the property
of the citizens-purchase and robbery.
No crime, either real or fancied, can de-
prive person of his property Our bill
of rights declares mo conviction shall
work corruption of blood or forfeiture of
estate" If Brownlow and his Legisla-
ture should make it crime at law to dis
charge Radical employee, and afhx
thereto any penalty, even that of death,
it would not justify the taking or con-
fscation of the property of the criminal
The confscation of which Brownlow
speaks is not purchase In proposing it
to the Legislature, he will be guilty of
an attempt to make that body band OF
highwaymen, and they should receive it
with scorn and contempt If the Cover
nor wishes to enter upon that sort of ca
reer, he should be permitted to go upon
the road and take the chances of Jack
Cade or any other freebooter

no reason to anticipate. If Randall
should get weak in the back, he would
resign. Welles can very well take care Of
the hulks Of the navy, and continue to
stroke his beard, without narm to any
one. As to McCulloch, we think it likely
he viii required to recast his figures, and
strike out upon a new tack to avoid per-
petual taxation and final bankruptcy or
reputation. The national debt is
big thing, and viii soon outweigh
reconstruction 1t is altogether likely
that something new and decisive
may be required in this department If
McCulloch is not equal to the task, it will
be the business Of the President to find
somebody who is. In regard to Mr..
Seward, it is possible that, with the in
fusion of some of Grants stern mettle,
and direct, practical methods Of thought,
together with the Presidents active will,
a new life will be desirable in the State
department The Alabama claims, and
probably more positive policy towards
Mexico, may render it proper for Seward
to throw up his hand
But these are all matters which the
President viii Judge of for himself, and
we have little confidence in general and
sweeping statements, such as that which
has suggested these reflections.

Among the most remarkable produce
tons to which the reform agitation in
Great Britain, has given rise, is an essay
from the pen of Thomas Carlyle-extracts
from which we give this morning. We
give them as some of the conclusions Of
a confessedly great mind, and Of close
and enthusiastic thinker. Mr.. Carlyle
is more than seventy years old, and, as
the historian of the "Freneh Revolu-
ton" and the Revolutions Of Modern
Europe" the Past and Present" and
the editor of the Letters and Speeches
of Oliver Cromwell" has had his mind
carefully directed to questions affecting
the permanency Of governments. His
opinions are, therefore, entitled to a hear
ing. He opposes with vehemence, if not
with positive scorn, the idea of universal
suffrage. His refuge and position is in
an hereditary aristocracy. This is, of
course, not a tenable position in this
country-nor is it proper one. On the
question of suffrage, however, which is
now agitating the controlling nations of
the earth, the outgiyings of such a man.
cannot fall unnoticed by mankind If he
is not safe guide, he may be an inyalu
ableshelp.
