Grant admires Sheridan as a soldier, President
Johnson detests him as a politician; and as
General Grant believes that no public interest
will suffer by his removal, he consents to be
its instrument, recognizing the right of the
President to his personal preference in mat
ter where the law clothes him alone with
authority. Nothing can be inferred as to
General Grants politics from a reluctance
which rests on personal, and not political
rounds.
We suppose the Republican journals will
be likely to fix on the fifth section of the order
rs furnishing evidence of political opposition.
1t is in these words:-
Fifth. Major General g. H. Thomas will con.
ttnue to execute all orders he may find in force
in the Fifth Military District at the time of
his assuming command OF it, unless authorized
by the General of the Army to annul, alter, or
modify them"
That is to say, all General Sheridan's orders
will remain in force, notwithstanding his re-
moval, and General Thomas is forbidden to
make the slightest change in any of them,
unless authorized by the General of the Army.
This, so far from proving that General Grant
bad any political objection to the removal of
Sheridan, proves the reverse. 1t shows that
the execution of Sheridan's orders is not de-
pendent on his retention in command; and,
therefore, that General Grant opposed the re-
mOval only on personal grounds.
1t would be an unwarrantable inference
from this section of the order, that nothing
done by General Sheridan is to undergo any
modification. General Thomas being new to
that command, and General Grant having the
ultimate responsibility for the mode of exc
cutting the Reconstruction acts, General Grant
reserves to himself the exclusive power
of Judging what orders Of General Sheri-
dan it may be expedient to alter. The fact
that Sheridan is ordered to report in person
to General Grant at Washington, before going
West, is significant. If General Grant intended
to continue all Sheridans orders in force with
out modification, there would be no necessity
for this circuitous route and a personal con-
sultation in Washington. General Grant ap-
parently wishes to learn from Sheridan all
the facts and particulars which led to the issue
of certain orders, that he may proceed intelli-
gently, and with full knowledge of the
reasons on both sides, in such revisions or
revocations of Sheridan's orders as he may
hereafter make. 1t is not that none of General
Sheridan's orders are to be modified or re-
vOked; but that they are not to be revoked
without due examination by General Grant
himself, and that Sheridan is to have hearing
as well as those who feel aggrieved by certain
of his orders. Considering that General Grant
is acting in all this within the authority con-
ferred on him by law, nobody can very well
| complain; and the course he seems to have
prescribed to himself tends rather to harmony
than to help either side triumph over the
| other.

From the ~ Y. Church linton.
1t is question of vital and growing interest
how the masses of our cities shall be made to
hear the Gospel. There are not churches
enough to hold them. In this city, upon a
given Sabbath, should all our church edifces
be filled, there would be left outside hundreds
of thousands of our citizens. Besides, If
church accommodations were adequate, the
great multitudes could not be induced to
enter them. The surging throng heed not the
sounding bell and the opened door OF the
sanctuary. We know of no way of reaching
them by the voice of the living preacher, ex-
cept by the Inauguration of religious services
upon the streets and public parks. They must
be shot upon the wing. The religious wants OF
these masses appeal to our united Chrlsten-
dom for relief. We must give the Gospel IN
some way to these imperilled men and women
Jesus cares for them, and so must we. he
has died that they might live, and shall we
refuse to tell them the glad news startnng
thought is 1t, that these multitudes are gong
down to temporal and eternal ruin without
any adequate method being made to save
them If they all go to hell, somebody else
besides themselves win be at fault as well as
they. From our loyalty to Christ and our
relationship TO man, we owe them the Gospel
we owe 1t, too, because we have 1t to impart.
God has given this Gospel TO us not only to
save us, but that we may be its depOsitaries

selves make no such unreasonable claim.
They understand their situation, and have no
purpose to be made the cat ts-paws Of pOlti-
clans. AS one Of their number, Major Delany,
who, in his experience as n volunteer,
learned something of selEdisoipline and of
men, very sensibly says in letter on the
subject:-"Let oolored men be satisfied to
take things like other men in their natural
course and time, preparing themselves in
every particular for local municipal positions,
and they may expect to attain some others in
time"
Neither would the election of a negro as
Vice President make him or prove him TO be
the social equal of the white man. Social
equality is an unnatural and impossible state.
No right can be pleaded for it, nor can any
force conquer it, nor any law impose it. 1t
has no relation to political equality nor does
it rest upon that unprivileged right to make
his way in the world, which every citizen may
claim in common with every other. No man,
of any color, can assert his right to be with
another at the polls, or in the theatre, or the
cars, as authority for claiming to be helped to
his soup, or to marry his daughter. Social
distinctions spring from natural diversities,
and are maintained by sympathies of feelings,
of tastes, and pursuits. Put dozen men and
women of different characters together on a
desert island, and in a week social dis
tinctions would have marked them apart.
Can any reform reduce these inborn
individualities to flat level Of COM
monplace Radicalism here brings up
against an impossible barrier, for it cannot
new create human nature. But it will make
the attempt, since there is no more rest
for it than for the miserable spirits who
in Dantes He'll are whirled about forever
among contending winds. 1t will attack in
dividual preferences and the natural right
| to choose ones own associates; as it has
attacked individual taste by sumptuary laws,
and individual conscience by prohibitory
ones. And the attack will be treated as it will
deserve to be, as the presumption Of brutal
! insolence.
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1867-08-22

and sagacity, has effectually headed of all
attempts to create popular excitement over
his acts, or to confer upon Sheridan the valua-
BILE crown Of a martyr. In appointing General
Thomas 70 the command in Louisiana, as in
assigning Grant to the duties Of the War De-
partment, the President satisfies the country
that his object is rather to give harmony and
efficiency to the work of reconstruction than
to embarrass its progress The well-known
sentiments Of the new commander, his reoog-
nized fidelity to the reconstruction policy ap-
proved by the loyal States, his valuable mill
tary services, and his admitted civil qualifica-
tions, will induce the people to acquiesce as
readily in the removal of Sheridan as they did
in the deposition of Stanton.
That the President has full legal power and
constitutional right for the course he has seen
fit to adopt no one but the most unreasonable
partisan will deny. There will, however, no
doubt, be an honest difference of opinion as to
! the expediency of making any change at all
! in the military government of Louisiana.
! Some will argue that the prompt policy of
! Phil Sheridan was needed to hold in check
! the men who figured in the negro massacre Of
| New Orleans; while others will contend that
the prejudice excited against him in the dis
trict, whether just or unjust, was serious
| obstruction to the work of reconstruction, and
that his apparent restlessness under authority
was calculated to prevent that harmony in the
administration so necessary to efficient action.
The appointment of General Thomas at least
proves that there is to be no stoppage of the
work of reconstruction in Louisiana, and in
sures the faithful and energetic enforcement ei
the law of Congress, free from the embarrass-
ments inseparable from personal mistrust and
petty squabbling. AS such the people, outside
the politicians, will accept it; and they will be
well satisfied If the new era Just commencing

The Order for the ]

The Order for the Removal of Sheridan.
From the ". Y. World
The controversy as to General Grants poll
tics which has sprung up in the Republican
press since his acceptance of the War Depart
ment, will cause the order removing General
Sheridan to be scanned with close attention.
We are not party to the controversy.
We have no other interest than to ascertain
for ourselves and communicate to our readers
the uncolored truth. The dispute about Gene
raj Grants politics grows out of the wish Of
some Republicans, and the opposition by
others, to his nomination by their party for
President. If his politics were not somewhat
equivocal, no such dispute could arise and we
apprehend that nothing can be cleaned from
this order to relieve his position from am
biguity.
1t is not by a fact Clipped off here, and
another fact Clipped off there, and put to-
gether by the wishes of interested parties,
that any trustworthy conclusion can be
reached. 1t is only by viewing General
Grants recent acts as whole that they can
be justly interpreted. The weightiest cir
| cumstance of all is his consent to facilitate
| the removal of Secretary Stanton by accept
| ing Office as his successor. This fact, taken
alone, would warrant the inference that Gene
| raj Grants politics differ in no essential re-
| spect from those of President Johnson. But
| while his acceptance of the War Department
cannot but be regarded as an act friendly to
the President, it seems clear, from his other
acts, that General Grant seeks to avoid any
| close Identification with Mr. JohnsOn's policy,
or rather, perhaps, with his energetic warmth
| OF feeling. He does not consent to be merged
into the administration as an undistinguishable
| part and parcel of it. He seeks, rather, to
| preserve his separate individuality, and to
have his acts judged by their intrinsic char
acter, regardless whether they tally either
with the administration or the party opposed
| to it. In the exercise of this self-pOised inde-
| pendence, General Grants course is such that
both parties find in it something to approve
and something to regret.
In the order removing Sheridan he is care
| ful to have 1t understood that he proceeds by
the direction OF the President. But the re-
| sponslbllty being vested by law in the Presi-
dent, it is entirely suitable that it should be
fixed where 1t belongs. The formality with
which the Presidents order is copied will be
interpreted, we suppose justly, as an implioa-
tion by General Grant that he does not approve
of the removal. Why, then, does he consent
TO be the instrument Of its execution He
could resign as Secretary of War, if he chose,
without any personal detriment amid the
universal huzzas of the Republican party.
Why did he not 7 II was because his opposi-
tion TO the removal rested on personal, not
public grounds. Sheridan is his attached
friend, bound to him by sOldierly ties and
recOllections, and by mutual contributions to
each others military fame. But while General

A THRILLING RoMANcE.--'Twas night |!
Lovely night, when not cloud obscured
the horizon; the fair goddess of night had
risen to her full height, and now sailed
majestically on in the clear, blue vauIted
heavens, casting bright, silvery light on
the stately mansion of the proud, naughty
Don Jose. Not sound foated on the
breeze. save the howl of the faithful watch
dog. approached the mansion that con-
tanned all that was dear to me on earth.
1t was Beatrice. the beautiful daughter Of
Don Jose. ! approached silently along,
but scarcely had leaped over the garden
when the sash of window was thrown
up and there, in all her native loveliness,
stood my beau ideal of beauty, my own
sweet Beatrice. Oh, could you have Seen
her as she stood there in a snow.white
robe, spapgled with gold and silver, you
would have sworn her to be the loveliest
of the lovely.
Hist! She speaks-low, sweet mur-
muring sounds stole upon my ear. |
rushed forward to catch her words; she
heard my approach, and turning away.
she said, in loud voice:

that i, was her little boy that gave her

Handkerchief Flirtations.

Some genius has recently reduced to q
system the popular habit Of getting up
firtations by means of handkerchiets. The
language of flowers is out of date. 1t is
TOO elaborate and round-a. bout ! mode of
conveying the tender emotions. Com
mend us to the. handkerchief The use
of it is so handy, so natural and so easily
acquired that any one who has tried it
will at once perceive its advantages. over
The old complicated system. The hand
kerchief, too, is suggestive in connec'i""
with fiirtations. Think of the troubles
that poor Desdemona got into by not tax
ing proper care of that iIl.starrcd han'i-
kerchief which The Egyptian woman gave
to old Mrs. Othello. Truly, as his Moor
ship remarked, there's magic in the web
of it." Let any one look in of a Satur-
day afternoon. to the ma;inees at some of
our theatres, and he will say that there is
a vast deal Of meaning ia q handkerchief.
But hitherto it has been ali rnwritteu lam
guage, and those who use it have known
but little of its Fundamental PRINCIPLES.
Hence the many mistakes and miscon-
cepuons winch 700 often follow, Just as
