GRANT AND SrASToN.-There Is a.
morbid scnsibiHty in the popular mind
which misN,crprets the most Legitimate
and proper actions of public men, This
is ascribahle only 10 the treachery which
put in peril the life oi the nation and the
di,trust which tho course Of the President
has spread broadcast over the country
Everything done by friend of the nion
IN meet the requirements Of the situation
is distorted into an unconstitutional act
or an impropric,y. The quiet, undcmon-
stratiye acquisseence of Gen. Grant IN the
provisions of the civil tenure law is her
aided forth ~ breach of trust and n
copp n stit Had he done either less or
more than he did he would have di>ohcycd
the law; but il is because he manifested
a law-abiding spirit in the most tempest
uous seasons OF public excitement that he
has secured the confidence Of the law
abiding classes. There repo~e of
character about Grant which seems like
an anchoring place in the turbulence OF
the period, Everybody feels that he Is
true TO the Republic, and the good effects
ot his retirement from the War Office and
Mr., S,anton'S resumption Of duty there
are everywhere manifest. The decision
iirmness, and courage OF heo strong uiei
harmoniously working for the public good
in places Of power, has renewed the con
fdcnce and hopes of Union men through

BAD EFFECT OF COOP NEws-John
Kane, an old countryman, for many. years
a resident of Chicago, man IN moderate,
though comfortable circumstances, re-
ceived, few weeks since, information
from his home in Ireland, that hand
some fortune had been bequeathed to HIM
and that the legacy, all in hard cash. lay
in bank, to be disposed Of according to
his directions. To hard-working man
like Kane this was certainly good news,
and it almost set him wild with joy. He
decided to set out for the old country i'm
mediately. 1t would not do, he said, to
trust money matters to strangers. He
might be swindled out of most Of it If he
relied upon others to procure it for him.
No, he must go himself In accordance
with this resolution he left, about tan
days since, and everybody who had any
knowledge of his journey supposed that
he was ere this almost half way across
the Atlantic. But it appears that the
good fortune that came to John Kane WIS
more than he could bear. Last Friday
information was received at Chicago, that
Kane had been picked up in the street In
Jersey City, j., to all appearance con-
firmed lunatic. As John is rich, nothing
will be left undone to ameliorate his Pati.
full condition. Good care and kind
attention may possibly restore him to tho
enjoyment of his reason and his newly ~
auired wealth some day.
