GEN GRANTS POSITION.

The Albany Erening Journal dlScuSSihg 'hc

"To argue Gen Grants reticence that nc Is ioS
sona characteristic fully conmendnble as tno hsn
cere loquacity 20 frequently found In public mem
If this implies only that General-in-Clliei
of our armies may probably evnce rehcence
with regard to our current politics, we entirely
agree with it, We justify even greater " ret
"ipncer than was evinced by Gen. Grant when,
near the close of 1865 he made his hasty
Southern trip and based thereon that report
which was generally understood to favor the
Johnson plan of Reconstruction. We can form
no conception of the duties OF Military OIL
Ger which would require him to indite OF sign
such a report Be it finally understood, then,
that "reticence" as to politics is not in our
view q defect in a General-in-Chief. In Re-
publican candidate for President it might be
otherwise
The Journal thus deals with the Generals
acceptance of the Department of War:
IT was determined in the mind OF Johnson that stan.
ton should he superseded Was II not better thht Grant
should assume the duties Of the office than hat It should
fall into the hands OF implicit ana pnant too Oh
johnson in position to endeay0r to render
important service to the country II ne rs aowSu @ 10
So the nation Will rejoice If he Is prevented ana super
seded as he may be- we shall have additional evidence
of his reliability"
This seems to us based on singular HIS
conception. We did not suppose it imagined
by any one that Gen. Grant is in any case to
offciate permanently as Secretary of War. The
first point in the Presidential game was to get
Stanton out. He could not be turned out; he
was not inclined to go out. To have notified
him that his place was wanted for Steedman or
Jerry Black would only have evoked response
that it could not be had But, when Gen. Grant
notified him that he had accepted the post,
Stanton felt constrained to give it up. And
now, when the time comes for installing the
coming man. Gen. Grant will be notified that
the place is wanted, and he will quietly vacate
it. He has no right to do otherwise. The pro-
visions of law which would have justified Stan
ton in holding on have no application to hlm,
as his appointment was never confirmed, anu
never meant to be. He has served the Presi-
dents turn in serving to oust Stanton. 1his

TO the country, but TO Johnson. What follows

be significant. The climax is passed; all be-

| of the total population Of Austria, are 30 many
Vcnetias which it is the providential mission
of Russia to deliver. In vain do the defenders
of Austria remind the Sclavic tribes of the en-
pre that in Austria they enjoy larger amount
of liberty than they could expect from Turk

many is on hand to show that, in many IN
stances, the growth of national aspirations Is
irresistible, and not to be arrested by any KIND
of arguments. Thus powerful interest tempts
Russia to be the enemy OF Austria ana the
ally of Prussia.
There will, undoubtedly, ee many false ru-
mors about the progress of the FrancO-A Aus
trian and the Prusso- Russian alliances in the
future "a there have been in the past. Ihere
may also arise secondary questions on winch
the allies may disagree, as was recently C'o

Russia supported the claims OF Denmark; D,iC
it is not likely that either of these Two AIN
ances will be permanently dissolved.
The Prusso- Russian alliance is likely sooner
or later to be joined by another country, whlch
but recently has taken a place among the
Grand Powers of Europe. Italy is indebted to
France for aid in the past but at present
France is the only Power which prevents the
realization of the greatest wish of the National
Italian Party, the annexation of Rome. More
over, Austria as well as France owns terri
tory which is inhabited by Italians, and which
Italy would, of course, like to acquire. An anti
Austrian as well as an antiFrench alliance offers
strong inducements to Italian statesmen, and
but for the wretched financial condition OF the
country, Italian statesmen would probably not be
slow to avail themselves of tho undoubted
advantage of an alliance with Prussia and
Russia. But sudden changes in the general
situation NAV lead to sudden and unexpected
resolves.

DEL UDING NEGROES.

The World has an elaborate essay from MIR.
George Ticknor Curtis, intended to show that
the Republicans are unwarranted and out

tbe States lately in Rebellion shall enjoy the
Right of Suffrage. Mr.. Curtis argues that they
should be left entirely to the tender mercies OF
the lately Rebel Whites. And hc proceeds TO

The official reports on the awful famine in
India, which has now lasted year, and at
latest accounts was increasing tell truly
heartrending story. The disaster has affected
a population of 2O,OO0,0OO, and the deaths have
been as many as 100000. Certain districts,
however, have suffered far more severely than
the average, and in the Province of Orissa at
least one-fourth of the inhabitants have been
swept away. The crowning horror of hunger
has not been wanting. Starving wretches have
turned cannibals and eaten their own chill
dren. A missionary of Ballasore records
case of a mother and son who were
found devouring dead child. A Hindoo is
mentioned who, having found the body of an
infant in the river, cooked and ate it. Last
year the Government and private charity ex-
pended for the relief of the sufferers over

The latest news from the seat of war on the
River Plate, both by Cable and by steamer, is
unfavorable to the Paraguayans. The Allies,
having seen that their prospects of capturing
the stronghold of Curupaity, in South Western
Paraguay, are anything but favorable, have for
long time been making preparations for in
vading Paraguay by land from the North and
the East. From the North, Brazilian brigade
had advanced from the Brazilian province Of
Matto Crosse as far as the River Apa, in Para
quay, had crossed this river, the passage of
which was not at all defended by the Para
guayans, and were to march at once upon the
town OF Conception, which is thirty leagues
distant. In the East, large force has for
some time been collecting under Gen. Osorio,
TO make a flank movement on the Upper Pa
rama and according to Cable dispatch In our
issue OF yesterday, this movement had actually
commenced. Thus invaded by two new armies,
the Paraguayans win have hard stand, and
'iier real strength must be soon severely tested.

Registration in South Carolina and Georgia
proceeds slowly, and thus far the negroes, who
have come up and qualified, are to the whites
as two or three to one. The moderately Demo-
cratic papers are earnestly urging the pale
faces to hand in their names, but their appeals
do not have much effect. The Charleston Cour-
Ter of Saturday says that so far in that city
2,04O blacks and only $40 whites were recorded.
1t estimates the black voters to be 5000, and
wants $500 whites to balance things. But they
don't come up and the probability is they will

Louis Napoleon has paid to the Emperor of
Austria his promised visit. According to the
official papers of France, the object of the
meeting is simply to condole with the Emperor
of Austria for the loss of Maximilian. But as
both Emperors were accompanied by their
Ministers, and as they were yesterday, in the
course of the day, for several hours closeted
together, people will naturally infer that
Napoleon condoled with Francis Joseph for
something beside the loss of his brother.

The opinion is gaining strength in Europe
that the insanity of the Empress Carlotta was
caused by poison administered to her in Mexico
We are glad to say that there is thus far no
good reason apparent for believing so dreadful
a story, and there is certainly every disposition
in Europe To manufacture opinion hostile TO
the Mexican Republicans. In view, however,
of some of the circumstances which have been
brought forward, it would be too much to call
the rumor incredible. 1t would have been a
horrible crime but was not something quite
as bad done in Ford's Theater at Washington?
