What General Grant Wants.

From the N. Y. Times.
If General Grant is to be a dictator, as
his foes predict, it is only fair for his friends
to wait until he gets into office. We don't
think he has delegated any part of his dictate
rial power to be welded by proxy in advance.
1t is quite natural that his views of public
affairs, and his wishes in regard to public
action, should carry great weight in Congress
and out of it, even in advance of his actual
accession to the Presidency. But we are very
glad to see that 1t is not enough to secure the
instant enactment OF any measure, for some
Republican to announce that General Grant is
in favor of it; and we think General Garfield
made very great mistake when he endea-
vOred to promote the passage of bill for the
establishment of military college in every
State, by proclaiming that General Grant had
been consulted and approved it.
One of the best things we have known Mr..
Washburne TO do was to move, on the heels
of this announcement to lay the bill on the
table; and General Garfield again exhibited
very bad taste, to say the least, by sarcastic
congratulation of Mr.. Washbutne on his
action as the organ of the incoming admins
tTation. Mr.. Washburne treated the sneer
with the contempt it deserved.
No man, in or out OF Congress, is likely to
gain much credit or influence by claiming to
represent General Grants personal opinions
and views, or TO be the organ of his wishes in
u
way of giving expression to his sentiments at
proper times and in proper form; and say ing
nothing about them when he is not called
upon by some official occasion, or in the dis
charge of some official duty, to set them forth
His views about the transfer of the Indian
Bureau to the War Department were given in
his official report as General of the Army
! His opinions as to the proper treatment of the
| Southern people were embodied in an official
report to the President, by whom he had been
commissioned to investigate the subject, or
were given in reply to direct questions from
the Reconstruction Committee. And when
he has occasion to send Presidential mes
sage to Congress, we presume he will embrace
that opportunity of saying what he thinks OF
public affairs, so far as he deems it important
for Congress and the country to know.
But We doubt whether anybody has his
authority or approval for quoting him, or
pretending to represent his sentiments and
wishes, for the purpose of influencing the
action of Congress; and we are glad to see
that Congress is not inclined to attach any
special weight to such endeavors.

Our Settlement with Great Britain.
Y Ipnl,LI

The Tribune devotes its columns almost
daily to attacks upon Reverdy Johnson, and
the settlement which hs is reported to have
made of the difficulties between England and
the United States.
On Monday it republished long misrepre-
sentation of the opinions both OF those who
approve and those who disapprove that settle
ment, in letter to the London NewS from its
own English correspondent.

the public the benefit of its own opinions as to
what the basis of a settlement of our difficult
ties with England should be 7 Some settle
ment or other it will not deny to be desirable.

FELL THRoUGH.-0n Tuesday one of Gil
bert's large draft horses, which had been
harnessed up to attach to the wagon, con-
eluded to give himself holiday, and uncer
enormously trotted off down street Aristo-
cratically preferring the sidewalk to the
dusty street, he trotted down upon the plank
staging in front of Manassas residence. The
planking is old and worn there in some
places, and the animals feet broke through
several times. Finally all of bis feet broke
through ct once, and he fell to the walk. In
his struggles to regain his feet he rolled off
the walk and fell distance of about twelve
feet. Those who saw the accident thought
the animal had killed himself, but in a few
moments he struggled to his feet looking ex-
tremely mortified and chop-fallen at the re-
suit of his adventure, but apparently un-

UNION MEETING.-The Presidential CAM
palgn, In behalf of Grant and Colfax, was
opened in this place, on Tuesday evening,
by don. c. B. DEMO and Calvin Edgertop,
Esq. Notwithstanding these speakers were
advertised to address the people at different
localities in the county. large audience was
present. The Wniskytown and Tower House
delegations numbered about fifty persons, and
as they drove into town with flags flying they
were saluted with rounds of cheers from
Union men assembled at different points on

beloved loud welcome In the evening
Main street was aglow with bonfires, and
amid the discharge of sky-rockets, and the
roar OF an anvil and cannon salute, the
crowd assembled around the stand in front of
the Court Hoose. Mr.. Edgerton was then
introduced, and in speech of about an hour
and half, triumphantly vindicated the Re-
construction Acts of Congress, and fortified
his arguments with Historical and official
facts that cannot be denied or refuted. He
was followed by Mr.. DEMO. who made
capital speech, exposing the Democratic
dodge last year on the Sunday law and Chi
nese questions. lie also refuted Democratic
ISLANDERS upon the National debt and bond
questions, and showed that all the ills under
which the country has suffered for the last
eight years is directly chargeable to the Dem-
ocratic party. 1t was that party in the
South which inaugurated the war and sad
died the present debt upon the countrv.-
The Northern wing of the party encouraged
their allies of the South while the war lasted.
and now that it is ended the rebel survivors
have almost unanimously returned to their
party organization. Having failed in their
efforts to destroy the Government, they now
ask that it be surrendered over to their con-
troll and guidance. Such brazen impudence
has no parallel in the worlds history.
The remarks of the speakers frequently
elected hearty applause, and at the close of
the meeting several rounds of cheers were
given for the orators and the cause.

The TAX ON DIsrILLERs. new law
changing the rate of tax on distillers of
spirits contains some features calculated TO
work great hardship to the majority of dis
tillers in this State. While the law greatly
reduces the tax on spirits per gallon, it re-.
quires each distiller manufacturing 100 bar
rels or less per annum to Pay special tax of
S400 previous to commencing operations. -
Many of the owners of small stills, who have
erected machinery for the purpose of distil.
ing the limited products of their own vine
yards and orchars, cannot afford to paw this
tax for the privilege of working up small lots
of grape and fruit. The law contains pro
vision, however, which provides that the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue may, at
his discretion, exempt distillers of spirits
from fruit exclusively from its operations
1t is to be hoped that this tax will be omitted
in this State, as its strict enforcement will
result in great hardship. Here in Shasta
county, for instance, no still owner can afford
to distill single drop of liquor, and the
products of their orchards and vineyards will

be derived from them.
