The 4Yiient aversion of General Grant TO
Indicate his political proclivities has long
been source Of annoyance 10 many good
republicans. Though they felt that his
views, Judged Of from. bis military record.
could not Be other than legal, his connection
withslhe war Office under the orders of the
President raised apprehgnsions that were
painful toeEery true and loyal manin the
nation. Every act or word Of Grants that,
under these circumstances. conld even be
construed as eqpiYocal, was hailed by the
coppeFhead enemies Of the country with joy
and heralded abroad through ali their
Journals as sIUe signs thar the General 10
chief Of our armies was IN -smpathy with
the Conservative, or in other terms, dis
loyal element. The sphgnx lke attitude Of
General Grant has been doubtless, as his
friends have always claimed, because of his
reluctance to gel into the political sfeus.
Whatever his reasons for this singular reti-
cenee, the President Eas compelled. him in
self-defsnce, to define his position in regard
to obedience 70 the Jaws of Congress
When il became necessary to choose between
obedience 10 the President atd obedience to
the Law, the great eonqueroT did not hesitate
for moment but promptly declared in
favor Of and obeyed the law without regard
TO Presidential wishes or orders This has
already brought down upon him the vituper-
alton and abuse of All rebeldom including
eopperheadism. But ten. Grant can bear
It all and rejoice in it, for there is no surer
evidence of a mans thorough loyalty than
that he is soundly abused By the President
and his copperhead parasites. Though
Grant seldom speaks be has certainly spoken
most opportunely this time There is no
act Of a great soldier that 50 eesates him in
the eyes Of all men as implicit obedience to
the existing civil laws whenever his active
duties as a soldier in the field have ceased.
THERE'S no greater trial of mans actual
merit than the sudden transfer from the al
most absolute power Of a military eomman-
der in chief, where be is a law 70 himself,
to the sphere Of civil life where he isrequir-
ed himself to render the implicit obedience
he has before been accustomed to require Of
others. Such acts gave to Cincinnatus
and Washington the greater portion of
their honor and glory. Il was the conquest
Of self the greatest Of all victories. Grants
nomination by the republican party. before
we'll nigh assured, is now as nearly fixed
fact as anything not yet done can be. No
man in the nation has SO strong hold upon
the hearts Of the people, and now that Lis
latest deeds have satisfied the most exaetibg
Of the leaders Of the party, thus assuring
unanimity in his nomination, there viii be
really no obstacle to his election. The hosts
oftreason he has completely routed before;
this time he win utterly annihiiato them as a
party organization. With Grant as our
leader il the coming campaign we look for
ward only to the most overwhelming and
triumphant victory.

THE PRESIDENT AND GENERAL
GRANT.

We print elsewhere, says the New Y FORK
Post, the correspondence between the Presi-
dent and General Grant, of which some
parts appeared in our later editions yester
day
The President does not make a very ex-
alted figure in these letters. Supposing,
even, that his own version Of the occur
Tenees were correct-though no one who
reads his letters can help seeing that Mr.
Johnson's 5 ill-tempeT units him to give a
perfectly fair and accurate account OF con-
versation-but suppoSiDg him 10 be correct,
even then 1t onlyappears that he endeavoTed
10 use Gen. Grant, with utter disregard to
disagreeable consequences TO Grant, for the
prosecution Of Mr. ,Iubuson's quarrel with
Stanton
Grant was to be his cat s-paw; but Grant
refused and so the President frets, and eos-
sips with the hangers-on Of the White
House Hobbies, making of himself not
very edilying spectacle for the men who be-
live that the President Of the United States
ought to be something higher than n scold,
and something more than a mere intriguer.
Mr.. johnson wanted Grant, it seems,
to lock the War Office door against Stanton
Why, then did he not order Grant to do so?
Mr.. johnson knew very well that passage
in the tenure of Office act which pUni.heS
with fine and imprisonment any one who
resists its enforcement Had ne ordered
Grant TO keep the War Office doors shut,
Mr. johnson would have violated the law
and subjected himself TO its penalties
Therefore, with what will seem to every
honorable man not very creditable cunning
he did not order Grant TO do SO, but tried
20 entrap him into a promise to do SO on
his Grant 81 own account.
But why should Grant violate q lava
law which may be foolish and wrong, as we
believe it TO be, but which yet was regularly
passed, and had been moreover explicitly re
cognized by the President Because Grant
thus refused to become the President tool
and victim, Mr.. johnson scolds him as ii
he were a criminal
Grant appears to ustO have acted through
ont with his accustomed GOODNESS and saga
city. 1t is seen that he and General Sher
man tried to have matters so arranged as to
avoid deadlock; they are practical men
and statesmen, who know that it is best,
in public affairs, TO get along smoothly, even
at some sacrifice Of personal will But Mr.
johnson sat still, like suky boy, and re-
jected all advice 1t would appear as if he
meant to bring on a deadlock Now, it is a
high conception of craftsmanship to bring
matters to such a pass that something must
break; and we regret to say that certain
members Of Congr ess, and the President.
in their long and useless quarrel with each
other, have illustrated no other.

RETRENCHMENT.

The Republican administration in Penn
sylvania has been characterized by large re-
auctions ofour State debt, the total aboli-
ton of taxes on real estate and numberless
other improvements in our financial condi-
tion. All this has been done during, and
Immediately after one Of the most terrible
and expensive wars recorded IN the annals
ofhistory But lis not alone in the imam
ces Of our state that this spirit Of economy
has been made to tell. The national hnan-
ces have also been managed With the same
skill. True, while the war lasted and the
nation was imperilled treasure was not
spared, for it was economy then to do
4 ana promptly whatever had TO be done
a. III. But the moment the war ceased, the
work Of 1etreuchment began, armies were
disbanded, useless supplies disposed Of and
cur, whole armament, as rapidly as possible,
vas reduced to the lowest margin consistent
with the public safety. The last Congress
was thus enabled to reduce the public taxes
the enormous amount Of Sl20. 600, 600.
The present session Of Congress has already
reduced the estimates for the Navy Depart
ment 10000, 600. Itis estimated that the
stoppage of contraction has saved the coun-
try $1,000, coo, which We would have had
TO pay in interest on bonds which McCul
lock would have issued to redeem the cur
rency IN pursuance Of his contraction policy.
Here is already an annual reduction Of
about 5000, 600, 600, though the work Of the
present session has scarcely begun there is
nothing surer than that the Internal reve-
nue. taxes viii be largely reduced before Con-
gress adjourns. Such acts of economy and
retrenchment speak forthemselyes aud place
the record Of the Republican party on the
question Of retrenchment in the fullest ac
cord with its professions. Copperhead:
may prefer erouudless charges Of corruption
and extravagance against US but our record
is our most triumphant vindication.
