NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-The World says
OF the treatment of the Presidents mes.
sage BY Congress, yesterday, that Gen.
Grants sycophants, both in the Senate and
10 the House, succeeded in putting an in-
suit upon the President. This extrsordi.
nary proceeding is something more than
wantou insult to the head Of The govern
menf.s IL is fsgrant contempt Of the con-
stitution. The doctrines Of the President,
though susceptible Of coufutation, are such
as honest men may entertain. M
The Tribune of the Presidents mes
cage: This message is his worst and forlu.
nately his last insult to the American peo-
pie. As he gees out of the White House,
he will stop to shake his fist at the Capt.
toll. There sit the men who baffisd him,
there are the Representatives who impeaeh
ed him, the Senators who corrected him,
the makers of the laws that fetter him, the
servants of the people who prevented him
from restoring rebels to power, and making
the war a uselesssacrifcs. Utterly pover.e.s
as he is to arrest the bright chariot Of his.
tory, he cannot forbear to throw mud at it.
