We presume it is not worth while to
say that Gen. GRANT is il nowise re-
sponsible for the gable of Washing
ton correspondents on the impeaeh-
ment, or any other, question. The
lying and contradictory statements
which are credited to him by the vari-
Gus correspondents, are evidence of
themselves to prove that he has
nothing to do with them in any shape
whatever. Unlike Mr.. JOHNSON, the
General never counsels with them, or
tells them his opinion, expectation or
desires. -5..,5

THE recent report that the Pope Of

Bishops Of the United States to raise
a thousand volunteers tor the Papal
Army, and authorizing the latter to
make such terms with the recrunscas

faction. 1t is especially desirable that
there be no truth in the report. fit

alacrity has been shown on several

We should rejoice to see this end attained be-
fore Gen. Grant is inaugurated President.
There are embttered feelings on both sides
that will protest and stand out against it, yet
we feel confident that an immense majority OF

chised class, and none preeluded from holding

pinia we are not familiar with its provisions
But Mr.. Archer cannot need our assurance
that. so soon as the Blacks of bis State, as OF
other Southern States, shall feel confident that
their rights are secure, they may be relied on
to help remove all disabilities from their White
fellow citizens. The one thing ncedful is, that
the Whites and the Blacks shall come to an
understanding on the basis of All Rights for
ALL That point attained, all beyond is easy
and certain. Carpet baggers" and a" scalawags"
owe their Importance to the fact that they
were the only White men who did not pro-

"deny equal rights to the very people lBlacksl

North who do this and it is not at all to their

THE FRAMING ABUSE.

We hone Congress will make haste, if not to
abolish the franking privilege altogether at
least to guard against its abuse. The Thanking
system has now reached such proportions that
members of Congress have no longer time to
write their names upon tho multitude OF doc
uments which they send free through the
mails. but use a stamp instead. The Thanking
privilege was designed to cover the Official cor
respOndence of Congressman with officers OIL
the Government and with their CONSTITUENCIES
but it has swollen to probably ten times us
legitimate dimensions, and has turned the Post
Office of Congress into perfect curiosity SHOP
There is a legend of Congressman from the
far South West, in the days before the war, who
used to frank his soiled linen home to be
washed. We know that Mr.. Brooks dissent
mates circulars advertising The NeW- York Er-
press by means of his printed frank, and Mr.
Demas Barnes sends out price-lists OF his
Mustang Linimentsr and Soothing Syrups."
Congressman O'Neill of Pennsylvania has re-
Gently been found franking all over the country
good thick pamphlet published by the Union
League of Philadelphia. and labelling it, by a
pleasing freedom of language, Pub.
"Doc.n We dare say the book contained a
out Of ten documents issued from the Govern
ment Printing Office; but it was not public
document for all that, and if Mr.. ONeill
wanted to send copies of it through the mail, he
ought to have paid the postage, as any private
gentleman would. During the last election
canvass, it was common for Congressman who
were candidates for reelection to frank ballots
and addresses all through their districts and
we know of at least one case in which, by
some process of legerdemain which we do not
profess to understand, the printed frank of
candidate was used to cover the ballots of his
opponent. 1t is not easy to see how the priv
ileee can DO confined strictly within its legiti-
mate lmts-if there is anything legitimate
about 1t; but il Congress will not abolish 1t
atogethe-, it might ut least forbid the use of
printed franks and the application of written
ones to any but official letters and documents.

The London Observer publishes the list of
the new English Ministers. The old leader of
the Wing party, Earl Russell, could not be
well passed over, and has been appointed Lord
Privy Seal. The Earl of Clarendon resumes
the Secretaryship of Foreign Affairs, which he
has filled once before, Robert Lowe, who in
the new Parliament represents tho newly en-
franchised London University, is Chancellor of
the Exchequer. Edward Cardwell, the member
for Oxford City, has been appointed Secretary
of War. That John Bright should be offered a
seat has long been regarded as certain. Though
some of his views are far ahead, in point of
Liberalism, of his colleagues, the party ho
represents is now so important section of the
great Liberal party that no Premier would be
likely to construct the Cabinet without at
least offering q seat to the influential Quaker

distant when this country will have para

all through the teeming groups of islands which
lie between our Pacific shores and the coasts
of Asia. The rapid increase of our trade with
the East, and the important lines Of commune

Our Washington correspondent contradicts
the report that Mr.. Colfax, the Vice president
elect will resign the Speakership of the House
of Representatives. He also states that several
prominent Republicans have urged him to re-

why he should not do so. Mr.. ColfaX Las
proved most acceptable Speaker; he has
nothing to do until the 4th of next March,
when he will be called upon to preside over
the Senate, and we see no reason why he
should not overlook the deliberations of the
House until the time comes for him to take
the oath of his new office.
