Grant and the Presidency.

The Washington correspondent of The
Baltimore Gazette writes:
The principal topic of conversation here
at this time is the attitude in which recent
events haveFplaced Gen. Grant. His pr.
waite letter to the president expostulst,ng
against the removal of Stanton, has created
quite an excitement The contents of this
letter were well known to the parties who
were instrumental in unearthing it, and j,
is therefore supposed that it's publication
was sought with malicious motives. No
real friend of the general, certainly, could
desire such disclosure. independently OF
the impudence and ignorance exhibited by
the writer, the style, grammar and orthogra-
ply of the original are absolutely appalling.
Even as corrected for publication, there il
not a single sentence of grammatical English
from the beginning to the end of it. Be.
sides all this, it defends the whole conduct
of man whom congress itself has abandon.

on earth, Grant excepted. Surprise is also
Expressed that Wilson, chairman of the
house Judiciary committee, should have ex-
posed the endorsement of Grant upon the
indicative and lying report of Holt in the
Lusk case. Altogether, these exposures
have ruined Grants prospects for the presi-
'dency, and it is supposed in well informed
circles that the friends of Chase will, in a
short time, be in the ascendant. if thew are
not SO already.

cendiary speeches. At Montgomery, last
week. between two and three thousand of
these starving negroes met to nominate del.
egates to a county convention, at which
they demanded "a full share in all the city
Offices" and threatened that, when the con.
stitution was ratified, they would force an
of their claims. Taking
this political foolery into the account, with
the domestic suffering, it is easy to see to
what an explosive condition the southern
black population has come. If the Hayden
blacks, who are moderately comfortable,
commit such atrocities as were exemplifed in
the murder of Gen. Montez, We can compute
how much greater will be the terrors of our
