Openisg on Grant

from aie ". y. EUening Express
There is no peace, no rest for the wicked
What with lamentations over the uutimelv
fate of the martyr Stanton, and the unlxind
proceedings on the part of General Grant. in
stepping into the martyrs shoes, and the
rising olamor of the Southern freedmen, for
fair share of the nominations, the offices, and
the public plunder, the ''party of great moral
ideas" bids fair to be swamped in a sea of
troubles. Of course, we COpperheads cannot
be expected to expend many tears over these
tribulations. On the contrary, we may be for
given, perhaps, the sincere wish that the sea
of trouble will keep rising and rushing,
until the piratioal craft goes down with all on
board,
"Deerer than plummet ever sounded"
The cool impudence of the radicals in appro-
priating Grant to themselves, without even
consulting him, indicates at once the assu-
rance and the expectations of the demagogues
who are running the Republican machine.
Just now we cannot recall any expression or
any act of the General susceptible of being
twisted into presumptive evidence, even, that
he was with the Jacobins. But it suited them
to take the thing as matter of course, and no
wonder, therefore, that having thus made
themselves the voluntary victims of lf-decep-
tion, the more shrewd of them are beginning,
as time progresses, to wake up to the posi-
bility that they have been cruelty sold. The
chagrin, which is the natural result, finds free
vent in the Tribune of Thursday; and now
that the feeling is one too strong to be
suppressed, we should not be surprised
to see heavy oannonading of the
General-in-Chief from radical batteries all
along the line. Wendell Phillips (''the man
who supplies the Republican party with
brains,") led off in hostile demonstration
against him, some time since, but his sup
pOrters have not been able to muster sufficient
courage, until now, to follow it up. The
Tribune article shows that they can hold in no
longer. Phillips, we remember, made his
boast that, though he would be left to oppose
Grant single. handed and alone, for WHILE yet
ultimately the rest of the party would be
obliged to bring up their forces, to unite with
him. Herein we have a new proof of the great
agitator's wonderful political prescienoe, and
OF his intimate knowledge of the real character
of the men with whom he is accustomed to act.
Greeley is about breaking up camp, to follow
Phillips to the front, and in due time, in ac-
cordance with precedent, the stragglers, the
.'bummers," and the baggage -smashers, will
follow.

General Grant-The Perplexities OF the
Politicians.

From the ". Y Herald.
The last round in the great political prize
fight between Andy Johnson and the radicals
has been almost a settler. The removal of
Stanton was bad enough; but the accession of
Grant to the Office of Secretary of War is such
stunning blow that the radicals find them
elves nearly knocked out of time, and come
Nd TO the scratch in the condition known in
he vocabulary of the ring as "groggy, " hitting
ut in wild and bewildered manner, beating
he empty air and letting their blows fall with
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1867-08-17

lowest and meanest kind of malice that could
see anything else in the direction of the mill
tary business of reconstruction.
General Grant, moreover, is not assailed to-
day because he used his influence TO thwart
the measures Of Congress, but because there
is an extreme faction at work on the task of
laying the wires for the next Presidential
election, and because they could better carry
out their programme if affairs in the different
Executive branches of the Government could
be brought to dead lock. They do not look
upon Mr.. Stanton's retirement from the
standpoint of personal or political regard so
far as he is concerned. The leaders of this
faction hate Mr. Stanton. He has re-
ceived as much abuse from the Tribune
as from any Copperhead sheet in the South.
They profess to admire the ex-Seeretary's
frmness and patriotism, because they believe
that they could have brought about state of
disorder in the military department of the
Government if they could have got him to
hold on to an Office from which he was dis
missed by the President, and whose orders
he might have disobeyed. The stepping in of
General Grant as Acting Secretary for the
time they did not reckon upon. They had
pictured to themselves a state of disorder and
confusion; instead of which the business of
the Army Office and the War Department goes
on precisely as it did while Mr. Stanton re-
manned in Office. The same policy controls it.
The acts of Congress will continue to be ad-
ministered as before. The same military
subordinates will remain at their posts in the
Southern military districts, and the only
change will be in the tactics of the ofioe-hunt-
ing crew, whose Presidential game has been
so badly spoiled. They will have to begin
with their work anew

The Old KOmnn.

Once she was "Mother," and it was
"MOther, Pm hungry" "Mother, mend my

"MOther," with her loving hands would
spread the bread and butter, and stow
away the luncheon, and sew on the great
PATCH her heart brimming with affection
for the imperious little curly pate tfIut
made her so many steps and nearly dis
tracted her with his boisteTOus mirth.
Now she is the s'oId woman" but she
did not think it would ever come to that.
She looked OH through the future years
and saw her boy to manhood grown, and
he stood transfgured in the light of her
own beautiful love. Never was there a
more noble son than he-hOnOred Of the
world, and the staff of her declining years.
Aye, he was her support even then, but
she did not know il. She never realized
that it WAS her little boy that gave her
strength for daily tOil-that his slender
form was all that Upl cid her OvtF the
brink of dark despair. She only knew
how she loved the child, and felt that amid
the mists OfHge his love would bear her
gently through its infirmities to the dark
hall leading to the life beyond.
But the son has forgotten the mothers
tender minstratiOn now. Adrift from the
moUriugs of home he is cold, selfish. heart
less, and Mother" has no sacred meaning
To the prodigal. She is "the old " woman,''
wrinklcd, gray, lame and blind.
Pity her, o brave and dry those tears
that roll down her furrowed cheeks! Have
compassion on her sensitive heart, and
offer it thy quiet rest, that it may forget
how much it lOnged to be "dear mother"
to the boy it nOurished through a careless
childhood, but in return for all this wealth
of tenderness has only given back r.
prOach.

Light Your Fires.

Harper's Weekly gives good advice
in this. ain spite of our sunny Au-
tumnaI days, and seductive Indian
Summers, it would be advisable for
every family in town or country to
have daily fire of wood or coal in
each inhabited room of the house. No
furnace will do ; there must be a blaze
in the open fire place, SO not only that
the apartment may be dried by the
heat, but that it may be thoroughly
ventilated by the current set in mo-
ton by the burning fuel exposed to
the air. Don't be governed either by
your sensations, your thermometers,
or the date of the month in first light
ing the fires. Light them betimes,
even now, and keep them burning
long. Ifthe heat should force you to
open the window, so much the better,
for thus you will have a strong and
purer current of air. If you wish to
escape fevers and agues, we repeat,
"Light you fires
