The N. v. Tribune On Grant,

Not long before the Chicago Con-
vcntion, tho New FORK Tribune gave
its opinion of Gen. Grant as follows
without the italics:
Gen. Grant we esteem by no
means q great man. nor even. 4 very
great general. y We want a states
man; we want Mr.. Chief Justice
Chase. The Republican party con.
tains no purer, no worthier, no more
gifted MANI 60 Is hea better Re-
publican?" we ask #Gcn. Grant.
No reply. If we want to talk about
horses or tobacco, we may find him
the most yoluable of men. Not one
word upon the question that racks
the heart of tho country? Take me
if you will. Is fUlys ses ! s. Grant,
general. and when | ain President
[ shall do as I ploasc.' Perhaps
we must take him, but We do not
feel like cheering over it; certainly
not so long, as great statesman re-
main in our ranks. GIVE us
Grant, because we can elect him. -
Again that cowardly argument.
Friends, is there nothing IN this
great party but ofic c-hun ger? Is

ALABAMA.

The conservative committee of Alabama
met at Montgomery yesterday and adopted
series OF very important resolutions. The
the first Monday of June; another provides
for a committee of five citizens to represent
Alabama in Washington, and still another ad-
vises permanent and active political organi-
zation, in every county and town of the State,
to support white supremacy, and constitu-
tional government in whatever emergency
may arise 1t is a hopeful and encouraging
sign that action like this has been taken. 1t
shows that the people of Alabama are resolved
not to forfeit their rights and their liberty by
inaction; that they have determined not to
yield to the enervating and ruinous influence
of "policy:;" and that they are preparing to
maintain the advantage which they gained in
the recent election. We especially approve
the plan of sending committee of citizens
to Washington to represent the State, and to
keep the Northern people informed of the con-
dition of affairs in Alabama. The radicals
are continually dispatching their vagrant en-
issaries to the capital with earpet-bags stuffed
viii III SOftb VI ilDclo duQ ON pcO-
pie Of the South, for the purpose Of supply
ing Congress with some pretext for its oppres-
sive legislation. Just at present these itine-
rant mendicants are conspiring to force
through bill fo- imposing the rejected Black
Crook Constitution on the people of Alabama,
and they support their applicant by the mon
strous assertion that the negroes were kept
from the polls by fraud and violence. 1t is
not to be supposed that any counter state
ments viii affect the action of Congress, but
it is proper that the people of the North
should be informed of the shameless and in
decent frauds which were perpetrated by the
radicals during the recent five days election
in Alabama. The facts can be established by
an overwhelming mass of testimony; and. if
properly presented, they will prove an effec-
tive weapon in the hands of the Democrats
party. We hope that the example of Alaba-
ma, in this respect, will be followed by every
Southern State.

A SUGGESTION.

The radicals are SO thoroughly committed TO
the congressional reconstruction policy, and
to negro supremacy in the South, that they
are compelled to accept these issues in the
conduct of the impending Presidential cam
paign. The Democratic party could not plant
itself on stronger ground than that which is
thus offered by its antagonists. 1t could not
ask for more advantageous terms of battle.
Already these issues have raised the Demo-
Gratis from the humiliation of defeat 10 the
exaltation Of victory. In every State that has
held elections since the reconstruction policy
assumed definite shape the Democrats have
gained largely, and in many they have as
serted an actual preponderance. These re-
suits have been brought about by the natural
reaction of the popular mind against the
tyranny of Congress, and by the apprehen-
sion Of total subversion of constitutional
government indicated by the audacious usurp-
ations of the legislative department of the
government But during all this time the
Northern people have really known very little
of the workings of the reconstruction policy
in the South. They know, indeed. that mill
tary power has been used to subyert the State
governments; that conventions, composed to
great extent Of negroes, and governed by
negro influence, have assumed to exercise
sovereign power in these Ssatos, and
they iear, 0cvasIUun1y, OF the removal
and appointment of civil officers by
military authority. But they do not
know the whole extent of the fraud
practiced upon our people, under the
reconstruction acts. They believe, perhaps,
that the statements which have reached them
are inspired by prejudice and alarm; and that
they are the exaggerated utterances of parti-
san animosity They do not know that not
the quarter of the truth has ever been told
They do not know that the conduct of the
military governors, excepting of course Gen.
Hancock, has been history of unmitgated,
unblushing outrage on the rights of the white
people; that military power has been used
openly for partisan purposes; that the plainest
principles of law and justice have been boldly
and systematically deied, and that the whole
power of federal authority has been en-
ployed for the purpose of placing the
Southern whites under the heel of the negroes
and of their vagrant and mendicant allies
If the Democratic National Committee would
send commission to the South to investi-
gate the administration of Gen. Sheridan their
report would startle the country and the
world. We hope that the committee will
consider this suggestion seriously. A history
Of the doings of the military authorities in the
\.
ticated by testimony. and published by re-
spectacle gentlemen selected by the commit
tee, would be the most effective campaign doc
ument that could be used by the Democracy
in the approaching contest.
