THE QUESTION OF VERACITY RE.
TWEEN THE PRESIDENT AND GEN.
GRANT.

IHE Qt ESNlON Of NEAAsIhN HE5
TWEEN THE PRESIDENT AND GEN.
GRANT.
Ii is stated that the President will, in
few days, send to Congress his reply
to General Grants last letter to
him, and will accompany it with the
written statement of four members of the
Cabinet, to which allusiOn is made in the
correspondence already published. The
Secretaries are MeCulloch, Randall,
Browning and Welles They testify, of
course to the Presidents recollection Of
what he says General Grant told him rel
atiVe to the reinstatement of Mr.. Stan
ton. The delay in sending this letter
to Congress is said to be Occasioned by
the fact that up TO the 9th inst some of
the members of the Cabinet had not re-
sponded to formal inquiry made of them
as to their recollection of what trans-
spired in their presence
When the correspondence already pub
lished was read in the House of Repre>
sentatives, Mr. Wilson, Of Iowa, moved
that it be referred to the Judiciary COM
mittee, but at the suggestion of Thad.
Stevens, was modified so as to refer it to
the Committee on Reconstruction. While
this motion was pending, Hon. 5. s
Marshall, (Democrat) of Illinois, asked
Mr. Wilson to so modify his motion as to
require the committee to take testimony
on the facts in dispute between the
President and Gen. Grant This prOpo-
sition was declined Mr. Marshall's
purpose was to have the question of
veracity settled officially by the commit
tee, but Grants friends were afraid of
the result 1t is evident they knew too
we'll that such investigation would place
the General of the army OF the United
States, and pective candidate Of the
Radical party for President, in a most
humiliating attitude.

THE World's Washington special of
the 9th says:
" 1t is singular but not inexplicable
fact that the resolution introduced by Mr..
Hubbard, Of Virginia, yesterday afternoon,
calling upon the so-called Secretary of War
for copy Of this correspondence, was Of
fered at least one hour before President
johnson received General Grants last
letter; that the unfinished correspondence,
as read in the Honse and sent to you for
publication in the morning, was in the
hands of Stanton before General Grants
last letter was in the Presidents hands, il,
therefore, not doubtful.

TILE pASSENaER TAX

The Supreme Court of the United States
has decided unconstitutional law of the
State Of Nevada which assumed to levy u
tax of one dollar upon every passenger leay-
ing that State by any railroad, stage coach,
or any vehicle employed In the business of
transporting passengers. The Nevada
Courts affirmed the law, but the Supreme
Court overruled them, taking broad grounds
in deciding that 1t was unconstitutional and
invalid. It said that If one State can I'M
pose a capitation tax on passengers leaving
or passing through its territory, 80 can
another, or all of the States; thus restrain
ing or impeding travel and interfering with
commerce with the States.
This decision will precisely apply to the
case of this State, which presumes to COM
pei the payment of ten cents for each pas
senger transported by public conveyance,
'in, through, upon, over, or across, any part
''of this State, ar within the territorial limits
"of the same" The law, as we have here
tofore explained is not worth the paper upon
which It is written, so far as its constitu-
tionality is concerned, and has always been
so regarded by all parties. 1t is, neverthe-
less, partially obeyed, but as 1t is a stigma
and disadvantage to the State, ground Of
argument for those who would like to direct
trade into foreign channels, and serious
burden TO our own people, we trust tina,
steps will be promptly taken to contest its

question before the High Conrt of Impeach-
ment. That only have the Senators COM
posing the Court right to consider We
know the evidence beforehand. We know
how terrible and unanswerable it is. We
know that until it became so overwhelming
that Congress dared not any longer refuse
to impeacll, the step was not taken to bring
the culprit before the Court. There is, then
but one question to answer and but one way
to answer it. The guilt of the man is moi
merely possible, or probable but unqucstion
able. The duty of the Court is to convict
The duty of each Senator composing tina
Court is to vote conviction.
There are thousand rumors as to the pei
sonai feelings that may antagonize the plail
duty of those Senators. One is the Presi
dents son-in-law; half dozen have subsist
ed upon his bounty, and had their alvan
tage in making bargains with him; on
will be called upon to take his place; other

notwithstanding every effort to the contrary,
the results Of war; and Of craftsmanship. have de-
cided that the Secession spirit Of the South was
ignoble and wicked. Desperate efforts TO reverse,
by appeal to the ballot-box. the verdict of four
it is true. but though the efforts for three years
past, have been desperate, they have met with no
successful result. The judgment OF the American
people has been written in terrible letters Of
blood, condemning the spirit Of the shareholders
rebellion, and that Judgment, for the present and
the eternal future, is irrevcrsible.
II gives us therefore no satisfaction 10 see, nor
arc we able to patiently endure, the publication
and extensive circulation of such works as the
Life Of Jefferson Davis, which Richmond jour-
nalist has just written and the National Publish
ing Company have issncd. The crident intent of
the book Is to fly In the face of that righteous
judgment Of guilt. To reverse il, is, as we have
said, impossible and the author of this book
scarcely seems to suppose otherwise, yet he
writes as II his rebel hero, and his rebel cause,
were dominating, with insolent malignity in the
Halls of Congress, or laundering like a scouige
at the base OF Gettysburg's historic hills. He
writes with admiration on his countcnance, OF
the resolutions of '98, the fatal folly of JEFF
fcrson great life pours out incense to multiplying
seeding, Misunderstanding Calhoun, and attempts
to set on the summit Of Fame's temple, the gray,
gaunt, spectral traitor, whose miserable lilc so
miserubly unsuccessful, was to have .urmouuted
in triumph the hei estes of his predecessors, but
whose scanty pettcoais after all, blend the ludi-
crous and the contemplate with characteristics
that would otherwise be fearful in their wicked

THE LESSON OF VICTORY.

New Hampshire has been carried for the
Republicans, for General Grant, for impair
tial suffrage, for Reconstruction, for I'm
parchment, against Andy johnson, Brick
Pomeroy, and similar white men, in the
hardest kind of 4 standup fight. With every
vote pollcd that either side could bring out,
the majority remains as great as it was a
year ago when the Democracy were ami
mated by no such hopes as the ecstatc yisi-
ons of this year.
We say it was u victory in square fight.
But it was victory well deserved by a
thorough canvass of the people. II was
achieved by careful, resolute, and judicious
action. 1t was a fight in which the Repub
lcans were united, co operative, and un
distracted. No Ring" was suffered tt
"run the machine, no clique to absorb au
thority Governor Hartman, it is true, wa.
not so strong as candidate as possibly
other New Hampshire soldiers might hay,
been, but otherwise there was no deficiency
in nominees or platform.
Under such circumstances, we feel conf
dent that in every State where the Republi
cans, during the war, achieved ascendancy
they can, on "a thorough canvass of nationa
issues maintain themselves. This is PROVED
by the only election for Congressman hell
since last Autumn, where in the 9Th Distric
of Ohio, the majority, won by the Demo
Gratis in October, was wrested from them il
January. 1t is proved, too, by New Hamp
shire, where the contest was national ia III
character-GGANT and Republican princi
pies, against all corners.
But we repeat that such victory coult
not have been obtained with corrupt or di
vided counsels. Success was achieved By
Prudence, Courage, and Fairness. Let othe
| States adopt the lesson.

corning impeachment is well expressed in
the following extract from the letter OF a
gentleman in Georgia TO an old merchant in
New York:
"We are not sorry TO learn that Mr..
johnson is to be removed from Office But
for him, this State and half dozen others
would have followed Tennessee in accept
ing the Constitutional Amendment, by which
we should have been represented at Wash
ington twelve months since. The evils Mr..
johnson has inflicted upon the South by his
efforts to thwart the views of Congress have
been second only to the spolations OF war
but, depend upon it, within sixty days after
his removal we shall have gradual return
of quiet and prosperity throughout the
South Remember what say
