Grant.-.IEis Habits...DOes no get
Very Drunk?

Tho following communication is from
the most respectable and truthful source.
The writer would receive entire credit
anywhere, even against a greater weight
of probabilities than exists in the matter
to which he refers. Con. Grants anti
war habits are known and admitted ; for
the rest let our correspondent speak
WASHINGTON, Jan. I, 1868.
To the Daily Union;
The fortunes of Gen. Grant have late
" received n sudden aud severe check in
tho estimation of large numbers who
were inclined TO sustain him for the
Presidency. Tho feeling is not Altogeth'
or confined to the temperance organiza-
ton here (Which is very large and inhu-
entail among citizens not politicians). but
extends to others, both drinkers aud alb.
stinent persons.
Rumors have been floating about for a
considerable time past. much to the re.
greet Of most men, that Gen. Grant has
resumed the habits which, when indulged
in, have told against him, and severely
all his life. aud finally resulted in his dis
connection with the military service
Subsequently, in the walks of business
he was far from successful Undoubted-
~ he has sought to control his passion
for strong drink by hal itual smoking,
which is a stimulant. and also by driving
fast horses at two race courses near here,
and unfortunately, at tin ., upon the
highways. On one of these occasions he
drove over "A little boy, who, however,
was not injured so much but that he re-
covered. To this end General Grant
contributed By donations.
The rumors that have prevailed for
some time past, concerning Gen. Grants
hurtful indulgence in wines and liquors,
have been literally sustained by fixed
facts. lie has been repeatedly seen and
noticed in o half intoxicated condition in
the street cars and on the avenue. But
on Sunday last the thing reached It's cul'
mination. At. about ten o'clock in the
morning he was staggering along in the
lower part Of the city, aud at about 5 in
the evening was seen by hundreds as they
were coming out of st. Matthews church,
at the West end. lie was accompanied
as is supposed by the lockers on, by Gen.
Dent, his brother-in.la law, aud the General
was in so bad a way that he could hardly
keep his legs in trying to make Roadway
What We have stated about Gen. Grant
is literally true. NERIrAN.

A DANGEROUS NAN.

If Grant does not hold himself
bound to surrender back to the Presi,
dent powers which he derived solely
from the President, he may not be
ready at the proper time, to surrender
to the people powers which they may
intrust to him. If he will deceive the
President and lie to him, why may he
not deceive the people and lie to
them? Instead of being a safe man,
he is the most dangerous man in the
country to whom the people could
confde their interests. Again: If,
when he is only a subaltern, he gets
so tight that he dances, and sings
Jim Crow, and fights it out on the line
of a soup %tureen, what will he do
when he becomes monarch of all he
surveys? It is plain that whisky will
go up and soup tureeps viii become
enhaneed il. value.

MISTAKE CoRREcTED.-In an article
in the Herald yesterday we stated that
the national debt has been increased
sl2, 600, 900 during the month of Janua.
ry. This was a mistake. The amount
was not stated correctly. Instead of sl2,-
000, 600, the debt was increased S19,1S7,-
722.7S. We often make mistakes, but
never fail to correct them. The Chicago
Evening Post, a radical paper, says;
1.-THE increase Of the public debt during the
month Of January was $40, 1s7, 722. rs, and for
the past three months over $4,000, 000."
The mistake we made in trying to
give the amount of the increase of the
public debt for the month of January, is
q matter of sincere regret to US. We
said they had increased the national debt,
during that month about So, 900, 000.-
We were mistaken. They increased il
only SO, 187, 722.7S. We rejoice that
an opportunity is afforded us to correct
the mistake. It shall never be truthfully
charged against us hat we have done the
radicals intentional injustice, We trust
our apology may prove, in this case, en-.
tirely satisfactory to them,-Qaincy Her.

TAXES.

The people are taxed on their cloth
ing, their meat and their bread; on
their carpets, their dishes, their ta-
bles and bed; on their tea and their
coffee, their fuel aud lights; they are
taxed so severely they don't sleep
well of nights they are taxed IN their
Offices, stores and their shops;' on
their stoves, on their washtubs, their
brooms and their mops; on their
shrouds, on their tombstones, and af-
ter they die, they are taxed on the
collins in which they must lie; they
are stamped on their mortgages,
checks, notes and bills; on their
deeds, on their contracts, and on their
last wills; and the star-spangled ban
ner in mourning doth wave, DER the
wealth of the nation stamped into the
grave. They are taxed on all goods
by kind Providence given; they are
taxed on the bible that points them
to heaven ; and when they ascend t"
to the heavenly goal, they would, il
they could, stick stamps on their souls.
But the bondholder, like the Irish
mans flea, isn't taxed at all, and thus
goes scot free.
The only way the peoples burdens
can be lightened is to kick the Radi'
Gals out of power, and install the
Democratic party again.

"But. sir, the people have wisely pro-
vided, 10 the col institution itself, a proper.
suitable mode and tribunal for settling
questions Of constitutional law. There
are in the Constitution grants Of pow T
to congress-, aud restrictions on these

the States. Some authority must there
fore necessarily exist. having the ultimate
jurisdiction TO fix aud ascertain the inter
probation Of these grants. restrictions and

self, pointed out, ordained and established
that authority. How has it accomplished
this great and essential end? BY declar,
ing, sir, that the Constitution, and the
laws Of the United States made in pursu-
ance thereof shall be the supreme law Of
the land, anything in the constitution or
laws Of any State TO the contrary notwith-

"This, sir, was the first great step. By
this the supremacy Of the Constitution
and laws Of the United States is declared.
The people so will it. No State Law is TO

This, sir, the Constitution Itself decides,

shall extend TO all cases arising under

the keystone of the arch. With these il

The RAILRoAD.-Under date of the
Sth instant, the Secretary Of the Oregon
Central Railroad Company d" has invited
US to be present at the Breaking of
Ground for the Oregon Central Railroad,
which will take place at East Portland
on Thursday, April 10th, 1868, at II
o'clock, A. N.
The Secretary informs US that the sin.
portant work to be then commenced will
be vigorously prosecuted" This looks
some like "bizz." Hope there will be no
fash in the pan this time, and that the
most sanguine expectations Of the friends
of the road will be realized. The river
monopoly will never be fairly checkmated,
aud scotched, till a railroad up tho vii.
lamettc hal have been constructed. We
cannot be present, however; as We have
not got s25 or $40 to expend-to say
nothing of time-for the mere pleasure
of seeing some soft handed official spade
up a little dirt. BY giving AT Irishman
a dollar We can see that feat performed
any day, far more dextrously than those
who will handle the spade on the 10th III
behalf OF the Oregon Central Railroad.
