GRANTS FAREWELL address
TO HIS ARMY.

The general order of General Grant, adj
dressed to the soldiers of the United States
when the war was over, will now be read
with interest. Here it is:
SOLDIERS OF THE ARMIES OF THE UNITED
SrATEs-By your patriotic devotion 20 your
country in the hour of danger and alarm
your magnificent fighting, bravery and en-
durance, you have maintained the suprema-
cy of the Union and the Constitution,
overthrow all armed opposition to the
enforcement of the laws and the prociama-
tion forever sbolishing slavery-the cause
and preteXt of the rebellion--and opened
the way to the rightful authorities to restore
order and inaugurate peace on permanent
aud enduring basis on every foot of Ameri-
can soil. Your marches, sieges and battles,
in distance, duration, resolution and brill
hancy Of results, dim the luster of the
worlds past military achievements, and
will be the patriots precedent in defense of
liberty and right In all time to come. In
obedience 10 your country's call, you left
your homes and families, and volunteered
in her defense. Victory has crowned your
valor, and secured the purpose of your
patriotic hearts; and with the gratitude of
your countu3men, and the highest honors a
great and free nation can accord, You will
soon be permitted to return to your homes
and families, conscious of having discharg.
ed the highest duty of American citizens.
To achieve these glorious triumphs, and
secure to yourself, fellow-countrymen and
posterity, the blessings of free institutions,
tens of thousands of your gallant comrades
have fallen, and sealed the priceless legacy
with their blood. The graves of these a
grateful nation bedews with tears, honOrs
their memories, and will ever cherish and
support their stricken families%

pam PLAY.

D The Republican party elainsto be based
on principles of right. BY course OF
right, energetically pursued and mihtaiiJ
defended, its members believe its success
can be insured. By a different course,
many of its members believe its success
would be imperiled. 1t is acknowledged
party usage to profit to its full Legitimate
extent by the machinery Of government
which present supremacy places at tue
disposal of party. 10 t@ sa
Ifgentlemen believe that in the contin-
uance of power of that organization to
which they belong, results the highest
good to the country, it is their conse-
quent duty to do all they can legitimately
to continue such supremacy. But mis-
take is made if minorities are totally ig-
nored, and greater mistake made if that
minority is extensively subjected to difficult
ties of questionable legality.
We had hoped that before this
the Board of Registration, against
which such bitter criticism has been made,
would have so far modified its course as to
have removed the causes of complaint now
SO strongly agitated in our community.
All the advantages legitimately to be
derived from the management of registra-
ton can be controlled by majority of
each Board of Supervisors. In season of
great political excitement it is not unnatu-
raj that party excluded from even all
observation of the conduct of this impor-
tant work, should be suspicious that its
rights might be invaded. AZ.
In a majority of the Supervisors the DOM
inant party has the power Of control. If
they propose to be fair and just, and we
claim they do, they can afford observation
and scrutiny of their acts.
1t was either political blunder to ap-
point Democrat on the original Board of
Registration, or it is a blunder now to
monopolize the minor boards.
The instructions of the Board, too, go
quite beyond what was either contemplated
by law, or is necessary. This matter, we
understand, is about to be corrected by
supplementary legislation. But it could
be more gracefully done by the Board it,
self. 81.
We believe that we have here expressed
the views of large majority of the intel
ligent men of the Republican party of this
State, and we commend these views to the
attention of the Board of Registration.
