age the old soldiers reputation before the
people by charging him with prevarication
and falsehood, through the evidence of his
Cabinet officers. The witnesses of the Pres
ident, however, failed to establish the point
of veracity for him, and virtually leave the
General the victor. Thus the matter rests
for the present.
If johnson wanted Grant to lock the War
Office door against Stanton, why did he not
issue an order to that effect ? Because he
feared the penalties of the Tenure of Office
law, and hence tried to entrap Grant to do
so on his own account, without such orders
thus making the General amenable for
violation of the law instead of himself.
This seems to be the only reasonable conelu-
sion after reading the whole correspondence.
Who acted the more honorable part? Let
the people decide.

A CANDID ADMISSION The New York
Herald, which is valuable paper when con-
slider ed merely as a barometer to indicate
the fluctuations and direction of tie public
mind, has at last concluded, unwillingly, it
is true, but none the less positively, that
Gen. Grant is without doubt or question to
be not only the Republican candidate, but
the next President. The reason given for
this conclusion is especially significant:
Because on the question of reconstruction
he has crossed the Rubicon and gone over
to the Radicals. This reasoning is sound.
The Radicals is only synonym for the
people. They are the advancing element Of
the country, and of course make the Presi-
dent; but it is gratifying to obtain the tes-
timony of an enemy to this great truth. The
course of events is rapidly developing in
sharply defined lines the programme of the
impending campaign-Gen Grant and a
straightout Radical platform.

WESTERN PENITENTIARY. The Board
of Inspectors ofthe Western Penitentiary of
Pennsylvania, located at Allegheny. have
Just issued their forty-6rst annual report
concerning the operations of the past year,
and it is document CT no little interest. In
this institution, since it's inception, over three
thousand four hundred citizens residents of
our Commonwealth, have found home for a
longer or shorter period Their well-being
is matter of practical moment to the COM
munity, whether it chooses go to regard it
or not. Like the Eastern Penitentiary, the
one at Allegheny is overcrowded, and, as q
consequence, the system of solitary conhne-
ment enjoined by our statutes is not carried
out as provided by law The warden and
inspectors strongly urge is modification on
grounds of humanity and social economy
That the sight of and intercourse with com
rades even in misery Is mercy, no one
doubts; while, looking to the question of the
protection of the community, the report
takes the broad view that it is more rational
to consider the years which the convict must
spend when returned to society as a citizen
than the short term of his sentence. Pro
lection will be best effected bya system
which is intended to influence life than a
transient period of disgrace. Severe but ju-
dicious structures are made Oh the i'll effects
of the pardoning power on the discipline and
