uLYssEs' ADVICE TO ANDY.

1t has been frequently State0 IN toyai
circles that General Grant swung around the
circle with A. johnson only in loyal subms-
sion 20 the orders of his superior officer. 1t
has been asserted with equal positiveness
that General Grant consented to supercede
his friend Stanton in the war office only In
submission to the same sense of dutlful obe-
dience.
But it appears, from. the publication of
General Grants letter to the President con-
corning the removals of Stanton and Sher-
idan, that General Grant has not been at all
times the dutiful and obedient boy that JAG
obin prints, when it serves their ends, win
make him. In his letter to the Pssloent,
the appearances are reverse. uenerai
Grant assumes the tone ara language OIL the
stern parent. and talks 70 A. J.. as A. ID, had
he possessed more parental backbone, might
have talked to his precocious offspring
"Tad.n Andy, my boy, says Grant, you
cannot rerove Stanton without the consent
ofthe senate. Estate this for yourinformation,
my boy, although you ought to know it as
well as I. Why, then, il you wanted to get
rid of Stanton, did you not task" for his re-
movalawhen the senate was in session? You
ought always to ask for things, Andy, my
boy. and not presume to take them without
leave. 1t is very naughty in you to do so,
and you ought to know it. You ought to
know, my boy, that congress intended to
place Stanton beyond your reach. The
meaning of the law may be explained away
by an astute lawyer; but you ought to know
that you are not an astute lawyer, Andy, my
boy, and it's your father tkat says it. And
let me tell you, Andy, my boy, that folks
will not quietly submit to seeing you going
on in this way, disregarding the commands
of your father, turning out his friend Stan
ton, and dismissing his bottle-holder, Sheri-
dan, without leave. People won't stand it,
Andy, my boy; your father knows they won't t,
and he 'feels that he knows he is right"
Such is the tenor of General Grants ia
nous "private" letter to the President, which
the latter declined to publish. and which is
now given publicity by General Grant. The
public will not find it difficult to infer the
Presidents motives in withholding the letter
from publication. Had he been inclined to
expose the general of the army" to popular
ridicule, he could not have chosen a bette,
method than in yielding to the Jacobin de
mand for the publication of Grants pre-.
sumptious and absurd epistle.
1t is growing clearer every day that Gen
eral Grants only chances as presidential
aspirant lie in his faculty of holding his
tongue and keeping his pen away from pa
per. Whenever he ventures to use either
with reference to political questions, he re-
veals only that the silent oracle with cigar
IN its mouth is in reality the political dunn.
my that it seems. The obvious comment
which his "private" letter to johnson will
evoke from the politicians who are striving
to use him for presidential purposes will be
"Ulysses, my boy, keep still If 'you don't
open your mouth, people will not discover

A HORRIBLE NUIsANGB.-In passing
along Main street yesterday, between
Beal and Linden, our o~lfaeteries were
offended by the fumes arising from a
large pond Of stagnant water on the
west side of Besl street, near the corner
of Linden. The water in this pond,
which covers a large space, has been
allowed to accumulate for months, and Is
the receptacle for all kinds Of offal and
rubbish. 1t has become so offensive that
strangers and others passing by in hacks,
and b street cars, involuntarily raise
their hands to keep off the efiuvia.
This is only n Of the many places Of
the kind which are allowed to exist
in the city. II the city authori-
ties or the sanitary force have
not the power, the pond should either
be pumped out or drained and filled up !;
If not, the wner Of the property should
be indicted for permitting the nuisance.
In opinion the grand jury should see
to it. Now that we have the hot weather
coming on, and every promise Of an cpl
demie, to permit such hotbeds of disease
TO exist in our midst is more than crimi-
nal. While on this subject it NAV not
be Inappropriate to say that the ordi-
nance prohibiting hogs from running q
large within the city is not put ii force.
as porkers are allowed 60 run at large as
usual. For this the police are to blame.
We hope these evils may be speedily
remedied. The health Of the citizens
depend upon energetic and vigorous
measures being taken immediately.

could not tell the difference between an

thatthdt was the omnibus, he wa "green"
