Reports are rife in Washington of breach
between General Grant and a portion of the
Radical members of Congress, growing out
of the natural desire of the President elect to
have the tenure of Office act repealed, and the
struggle against the repeal on the part of the
friends of the Radical office-holders, to pro-
feet whom against the President was the
true intent and meaning of the act. 1t is
stated that Gen. Grant, with his own mill
tary mouth, has demanded the repeal of the
act, and has sworn an extra military oath that
it shall be repealed. Unlike his great mill
tary predecessor in the Presidency he has a
multitude of friends to reward, and not few
enemies to punish, but the tenure act bars
the way both to his benefcence and to his re-
sentiment. As the whole meaning of Radi-
calism may be summed up in the expressive
formula 'tenure of Office" and as every
body in the party of any note either hopes to
get an ofic,, or wants to keep an Office, diff.
ference on point which involves the whole
question of keeping and getting Office would
be sure to lead to an irreparable breach be-
tween the sins, represented by the restiff con-
gressmen, and the 'outs" under the general
commanding our armies" A sort of compro.
mise between them is proposed, by which Con-
gress is to pass the repeating bill, but too late
for il to become law in case President John
son declines to act on it, course of action on
bis part which is taken for granted. 1t is
ouite prvbable that when the Radical leaders
chose Grant they did not giSs him credit for
much perspicacity. hrs must cVpsiass
I'm little better than an idiot if they presume
that he can be deluded by so transparent
pretense. The conflict meanwhile continues
to grow more and more animated, nd affords
a very instructive commentary on "trooly
loil" patriotism.

The Republican seems to approve the action
of the city government in declining to receive
city money any longer in payment of taxes;
but it says that Taxpayers, by resorting to
the courts, may compel the city to receive
these notes. We think that the Republican
is mistaken. We do not believe that the
courts would interfere to compel the city to
adopt a course which would soon, if perse-
vered in, make city government impossible.
Graver QUESTIONS than the mere legal techni-
cality to Which the Republican refers underlie
this subject, including questions which, if
pressed upon the city, might prove, in their
Judicial solution, far more disastrous to the
note-holders than a delay of few months in
providing gome plan for the final redemption
of the class of obligations under considera-
ton. If the note-holders are wise they will
shun the courts and trust to the generosity of
the city.

Senator Kellogg, it is said, has prepared a
bill for re. constructing the Mississippi levees,
which he will introduce after the holidays.
Let US see what our senator purposes doing
in this matter, whether he is going to devote
his time and attention to perennial denuncia-
ton and SANDER Of his theoretical constitu-
terests of the State which he is supposed to
represent in Congress. The character of his
levee bill will probably show some light on

"TRnIEs FOR THE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS"
This is the title of volume of sketches and
stories from the pen of Mr.. H. s. Armstrong,
of this city, published by J. B. Lippincott &
Co., Philadelphia The style is easy and
vivacious without being licentious in its free
dom, and furnishes a fitting medium for
train of humorous fancies and amusing con-
ceits. Altogether ii is a readable book for the
holidays, and has merits above the rather de-
predatory significance of its title.

MEETING OF THE FRENCH CABLE COMPANY IN

The first general meeting OF the prOpretors of
the SOciete du Cable Trsnsatlantque Francois
(limited) was held to-day ct the City Terminus
Hotel, Cannon street, Mr.. Ed j. H0lsey in the
chair. The report was read By the secretary:
The chairman, in moving its adoption, congrat-
uated the shareholders upon the satisfactory pro-
gress which had been made in the works. Since
the report was printed IS per share had been
paid upon 1000 more shares, making in all Al 900
shares. They bad now within two or three Of

who had expressed great interest 10 the work.
As TO the dividend prospects of the company he
thought be need only alude to the wonderful ex.
periences OF the last month In the elasticity of tel

reducing their tariff to s. had increased their re-
csipts by $50 per day aud by the further reduc-

he thought the companies need feel no jealousy
with respect TO each other, for there would no
doubt be ample traffic for the three cables. In
conclusion he drew attention to various misstate-
ments which he said had appeared in the press,
and remarked that if the shareholders would place
confidence in the directors they would take care
that their interests should be protected. Baron
Emile d'Eilapger seconded the motion.
NJ. Lepape, who attended from France on be-
half of the French shareholders, called attention
to the fact, that Tany persons in France had
taken up shares for the purpose of damaging the
company as much as possible. Many of those
shares had not been paid up, aud he hoped tue di
rectors would show no leniency to those persons.
Baron Emile d'Erlanger said that the matter would
have the consideration of the board. The motion
was unanimously adopted. Several special reso.
lutions we're also adopted as additions to the
articles of association.
