' Gan. GRANT.-It is not a great many
months since the Democratic presses and
orators all over the northern States, spoke
in high terms not only Of the military
ability OF Gen. Grant but also of
his integrity, honesty and business capa-
bilities. Among those who spoke of Gen.
Grant with unqualified praise was Senator
Doolittle, who now since his ap0stacy
seeks to disparage him. The substance OF
some Of Senator Doolittles speeches made
in this State, in which he eulogized Gen.
Grant, were published at the time. What
is true of Senator DOolittle's former praise
of Grant, is equally true of thousands OF
Others, they conceded to him all the Re
publicans claim for him. Gen. Grant has
not changed he is the same quiet UMPIRE
tenti0us man he was, when the Democrats
approved him. His acceptance of nom
nation from the Republican party com
mits him against ex-rebcl democracy
That is the great crime for which the
Democratic party seek to arraign him.

THADDEUs STEYENs.-The death of
Hon. Thaddeus Stevens was mentioned
last week. Appropriate funeral services
were held at the Capitol in Washington
last week, at which an immense concourSe
of people attended, Mr.. Stevens had
strong hold on the affections Of ali classes,
Especially among the poorer, whose friend
he had always been. The freedmen came
by thoutands to do him the last reverence
Eleven sisters OF charity of the Catholic
church, were in Attendance upon the
funeral ceremonies: it appears he had by
some act Of special favor won their esteem
and respect. His remains were taken
from Washington to his residence in Lam
caster, Penn, where the final funeral
ceremonies took place on Monday last
\ large number of Populations from all
parts of the country were present. Fifteen
thousand persons were on the ground
during the religious services they were
participated in, by clergymen of the
Moravian, Dutch Reformed, Presbyterian,
Episcopalean and Lutheran churches.
At the grave the Lutheran burial service
was read, after which Dr. Gray, Chaplain
Of the U. s. Senate made the closing re-
marks as follows:
| "And now, till the morning of the

We are glad to see that Mr.. Lynch's bill for
the gradual resumption of specie payments is
gradually gaining attention. 1t is one of the
most important measures now pending and
only needs to be understood to make It's way.
We find the following appreciative notice of
this bill in the New York Tribune of Friday:
Mr. Lynch Of Maine has pending in the
House of Representatives plan for gradually
resumlng specie payments Briefly stated. it
consists in issuing from the Treasury coupon
bonds to the amount of $500 100000 of denom-
nations OF 500 and upward, bearing interest
at four per cent, payable quarterly in lawful
money, and making these and greenbacks re-
clprocalIy convertible into each other at the
pleasure of the holder; after the first of Nav
next AL United States legal tender notes re-
ceved by the United States, saw $3.50 100000
per year, or $15000,000 per month, are to be re-
tired and destroyed, and in their stead notes
PAYABLE one year from date, in coin are to be
Issued to all creditors to whom legal tenders
nave heretofore been paid. By the LIST of May
1869, $loO00O,OO0 in coin notes would have ia
ken the place of the present greenbacks. hay-
ing been paid out for salaries, Government
contracts, currency interest, and all expenses
OF the government. These notes will come
que at the rate OF half million of dollars a
Day during the year 1869, and are to be re-
deemed in gold. By repeating the same oper-
alton for 1869 and 1870, the whole issue of
greenbackS now outstanding would have been
converted into demand notes, and would be re-
deemable in gold by MAY 1, 1871 Mr.. Lynch
says that he firmly believes that the presenta-
ton and redemption of the first $150OOOOO of
these notes would SO establish public conf.
dence as to reduce the premium on gold to a
nominal figure. The difference between the
plan and that of immediate RESUMPTION is that
1t limits the amount of notes which can be
presented to the government for redemption
to half a million Of dollars per day after one
year from the LIST of May next. AS our gold
receipts from customs amount to about third
OF million day, it is thought that so eradu-
al run on the Treasury for its gold could be
successfully met until the public confidence
had SO far improved as to reduce the premium
on gold to a nominal figure, VIII, specie pay
ment would be resumed by the banks and the
people voluntarily Mr.. Lynch's plarf is one
of the most thoughtful of the gradual plans of
resumption yet advanced.

Ludge Cur,is,s Argument.

Much was expected of Judge Curtis in
opening the Presidents case before the SEN
ate. 1t seems to US, after careful perusai'
that the argument answers all just expecta-
tlons, though from accounts that reaeh us
through the papers it appears tnat the Presl-
dents friends are disappointed. They were
foolish enough to suppose that the settled
Judgment of a Senate composed of the ablest
LAWYERS of the country, expressed in resolu-
ton passed on the day of Stanton's removal,
could be shaken by the argument of another
lawyer, however great his ability. There are
some points in the position of the managers
that are incontrovertibe. For instance Judge
Curtis, in endeavoring to show that the re-
moval of Stanton is not within the meaning
of the tenure-of-ofice act, is obliged to make
statements, the absurdity of which is appar-
emit even to unprofessional readers. He says
that Mr.. johnson is not serving ont the unex-
pired term of his predecessor. but that new
Presidential term began when he came into
power. He says "as well might a sovereign
be said to serve out the term of his predeces-
sor." Section one, article two, of the Consti-
tutioL says that the President shall hold his
Office I'd uring term of four years." thus de-
inng the length of term arbitrarily, with
out reference to any incumbent's continuing
in office. If Mr.. johnson is serving a term of
his own, no one claims that he is obliged to
retain Mr.. Stanton in his cabinet till the SEN
ate assents to removal. This is accordingly
the most important point in the whole de-
fence. 1t was decided by the SEN
ate months ago adversely to Mr.. johnson, and
hnf fha raoka
would induce that body to retract. Instead
of such conclusive reasoning there is an at
te npt to sustain the Preside It's claim by sug-
costing an analogy between him and the ex-
ecutives of monarchical governments which
all the earning and reputation of Mr.. Curtis
cannot for moment make respectable. Still,
none but very partial friends could expect him
to effect impossbilities.

Cold AnriI Weather.

MIR. EDTToR:-Athough the cold has been
severe during the past week, one who lays no
claim to be the ''oldest inhabitant" can reveal
something equal to it. On Sunday, April 18th,
1850, we had cold snow storm of twelve inches,
closing with rain. 1t came off very cold Mon
day morning, with the thermometer at "a degs.
I gathered two large iccles from low build
ing near where your Office now is, which meas
ured each q inches in length, and IL to 10
inches thick at the butt end. I kept them all
day in back room without melting, and mark.
ed out their dimensions on paper, which still
retain. The next succeeding days were yet
colder; April 10th, at the Observatory. 20 degs.,
18th, II degs., 18th, "a deg. But ''seed time
and harvest" did not fail that year. E.G.
POLICE ITEMs.-Five persons were taken to
the lookup by the police Saturday night for
drunkenness.
Sunday was very quiet. Not an arrest for
drunkenness during the day.

PERsoNAL.-Dr. Colby, who for about five
years has been connected with the Press, has
accepted an agency for the Continental Life
Insurance Company of New York, to which he
will hereafter devote portion of his time
He will, however, be a regular contributor to
the Press, either as a correspondent or other
wise, and will receive subscriptions and pay
ments in any part of the State he may visit
DR.. Colby probably has as extensive an &C.
quaintance among the people of Maine as any
man in the State, and certainly no man is
more favorably known among all classes. The
efficiency he has shown in the various branches
of business to which he has devoted himself
heretofore, places his success in his new under
taking beyond any doubt. He certainly will
have the best wishes of all connected with this
office, where his own uniform courtesy and
gentlemanly demeanor have Won for him the
hearty good will of his associates. These quail
tiles that make his withdrawal from the Press
a matter of so much regret will be peculiarly
valuable to him in his new business supple
mented as they are by great business tact and
experience ~
