Grants Protest.

WHAT THE REPUBLICAN, PAPERS SAY OF n.
From the Evening Bulletin
1t goes far beyond the expectations of
General Grants most sanguine friends, and
must satisfy his most carping critics. 1t is
as radical in its support of Sheridan, and as
radical in its opposition TO the policy of An
drew johnson as Wendell Phillips, and
much more reliably so than Horace Greeley.
General Grant has chosen his time to speak
and has spoken bravely, eloquently, patriot
ically in tones that will thrill the American
heart with an intenser enthusiasm than ever
for the great Captain.
From the Evening Telegraph
The Generals protest is so vigorous, so
comprehensive, so utterly decided, that
there can be no question but that he heartily
approved of Shcridan's course, and conse-
quently as strongly disapproved of the policy
and conduct of Mr.. Jonson. He does not
tone or qualify his phrases. He ilnmedi-
ately urges, earnestly urges, urges in the
name OF patriotic people, that this order
be not insisted upon" He declares that the
country approves of the course of Sheridan,
and begs that the voice of the people may
be heard. lie commends Sheridan, declar-
ing that " he has performed his civil duties
fdtfhfuttg and inteHigently" lie frankly
tells johnson that such an act would lead
the rebels TO believe that the Executive is
with them, and implies directly that if the
order. be insisted upon, such IN opinion
would be natural, if not correct. And final
~, :" there are military reasons, pecuniary
reasons, and, above all, patriotic reasons,
why the order should not be insisted on
Hence General Grant deems the President
unpdhfotfc in acting as he has done.
From the Philadelphia Inquirerl

takably the expressed "wish of the country
that General Sheridan should not be re-
moved, and then he covers the ground on
which Mr. Johnson has always endeavored
to make capital, that the aviU of the a3eo-
1,te is Tic taW Of the laaul,' and he begs-
as Grant never before begged to man-that
"their voice may be heard Added to this,
he says tribute of respect to and expresses
confidence in Gen. Sheridan which will
raise him still higher in esteem of his coun

from the Baltimore AmercanJ
Gen. Grants protest against the sacrifice
OF SHERIDAN IS MS earnest us feeling and de-
cided language can make it, = y The
loyal masses will thank Gen Grant for these
words. We believe very short time will
prove how truely he has foreshadowed the
effect OF The Presidents renewed policy of
obstruction.
From the New York 1ribune.l

thorough Republican, they unquestionably
do prove that he is not in sympathy with
Andrew johnson. Mr. johnson has over

honestly honors Grant for his services in the

lFrom the Philadelphia I,sess.l
The earnest, patriotic words of Grant will
convey comfort and encouragement to every
Northern and national heart They are what
the country expected of him, and what she
demands OF every true citizen in this hour.
From the Washington Chronicle.l
Mr.. johnson would far rather have sub-
mtted to the extraction of one of his molars
than to have parted with this proof of
General Grants full sympathy with the loyal
millions OF his countrymen in his views on
reconstruction. Think of Andrew johnson
claiming that Grant and himself were in full |
