Grant and the President.

The Baltimore Gazette says that "the cor
respondence between the President and Gener-
al Grant, which was laid before Congress on
Tuesday, confirms the view we took of General
Grants conduct when he surrendered the War
Department to Mr. Stanton General Grants
statement is vague and inconclusive, and is ev-
identity the work of man who feels that he is
in an awkward and not creditable position. He
is, moreover, fatty contradicted by the Presi-
dent and the members of the Cabinet, and
however much of warrior and hero some peo-
Die may at present consider him, his personal
character has never been so high as to make
his word of any especial weight in the cstima-
ton of the country. But the case is one that
admits of no explanation which relieves Gen
eral Grant from the charge of having been
guilty of the grossest perfdy. He was placed
by the President on the list of his official and
confidential advisers, and he was bound by
every obligation that controls men of ordinary
integrity to leave no room for any mlsundef-
standing in regard to his intentions in case MIR.
Stanton should attempt to resume his place IN
the War Department. The subject had been
deliberately discussed several times, and there
fore General Grant was not taken by surprise.
He had informed the President that he would
pursue very different course from the one
which he subsequently did adopt, and it was
thus made the more incumbent on him to give
e Mr. johnson the most explicit and detailed
statement of his change Of purpose Nc
amount of shutting and no quantity of denia
will suffice to clear General Grants reputation.
That he is thoroughly allied with the Radical
party is confessed fact and it is now perfectly
clear that in the interests of that party he has
dealt treacherously with the President. His
flourish about his personal honor and charac
ter comes with singularly bad grace from a
man in the position in which General Grant
has placed himself-a position, we may add, in
which it is scarcely possible for frank and up
right man to have gotten by any sort of acct
dent

JOHNSON ON GRANT-A telegram to the
Western press states that the President said,
in a conversation on Saturday, that he would
give $4,000 out of his own pocket if the
American people could have seen Gen. Grant
at the Cabinet meeting on Friday while ques-
tons were being put to him about his action in
the Stanton matter. He never saw man lock

The reiterated and continued statement of
the Radical leaders, that the people of the
Southern States are hostile to 'sthe Govern
ment, " is to be explained, says the Ales. Ga
Sette, by recolecting that the long possession of
power in the hands of these leaders, and their
complete control of the administration of affairs
for seven years, have induced them to assume
that they actually are the government, and
they, therefore, expect and require fealty and
allegiance to their faction just as if it were an
organized institution, recognized by the Con-
stitution. The Southern people are, and ac-
knowledge themselves to be, in opposition to
the political sentiments, purposes, policy, and
designs of the Radical leaders-as are a large
and respectable portion of the Northern people
Thus far they go-and no farther This oppo-
sition is reasonable, legitimate, legal, constitu-
tional. 1t is not, and cannot be prohibited, ex-
cept by brute force, or the exercise of illegal
military authority. 1t is, simply, the excise
of what is left of the right of speech, of the
liberty of the press, of the privilege of forming
an opinion and expressing it, with regard to
public matters. 1t is no hostility to ''the gov.
ernment"-no breach of faith-no severance of
allegiance Those who represent it otherwise,
do so for purposes of wrong, oppression and
tyranny.

PROMPT action needed.

The Clarke Journal says that ut is evident
that Congress, or the unconstitutional body So
called, is only instigated by the late reaction in
the North to more reckless and destructive
legisiatioa than it has ever before been guilty
Of 1t is evident, too, that they will require in
the next Presidential election, the electoral vote
of the South to ensure the success sf their
candidate. They will, therefore, hesitate at
nothing in their effort to effect the reconstruc-
ton of the Southern States at once. They have
no time to lose, for the day is not far distant
when the final decisive struggle for power will
have to be made Their political machines, the
mongrel Conventions of the South, will be re-
quired to complete the framing of Constitutions
for the States at a very early day, and as little
time as possible will be given before the CUES
ton will be submitted to the people.
The question of the ratification Of the Con-
stitutlon will be sprung upon us so suddenly
that we will not have time to arouse the people
to the necessity Of turning out en- n,asse to save
the State. In the meantime while they are thus
preparing for our total ensavement, we are do
ing nothing. We are organizing, tbs is true, but
organizing to begin the compaign aohen the
Constitution is framed and submitted to the
people, This is the very worst policy conceiva-

In speaking of the issue of veracity between
the President and Grant, the Lynchburg Re
publican says: 1.-THE President openly charges
Grant with falsehood and treachery, and proves
it upon him by the testimony of four members
of his Cabinet while Grant lamely attempts tc
escape the odium by appealing to the public in
behalf of his reputation as soldier and gen.
teman Most lame and impotent dodge He
betrayed the President in order to subserve the
revolutionary designs of Stanton and Congress,
and he now resorts to special pleading and false
hood to escape the public odium and disgust
which attaches to such disreputable conduct =
We presume that, Of all the public men of dis
tinction that ever figured in this country Grant
has gone up the most like a sky-rocket and
come down like stick" He has neither the
brains of a smart man nor the principles of a
correct one and the laurels he won in the field
by extraordinary numbers, will be eternally lost
in civil life by stupidity and deception.
