GRANT AND JOHNSON.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Commercial telegraphs that
paper under date Of. the 10Th ult as fol-
lows
The Chronicle to-day contains what is re-
garded as an authoritative statement rela-
tive to the question of veracity between
General Grant and President johnson. 1t
takes up the Worlds account, and says
Gen. Grant also denies, in equally une-
luiyOcal terms, that he made any promise
to the President that he would see him on
Monday, the 18th inst, or that he ever adj
mitted having made sueh promise, and he
asserts that when he parted from the Pre-
sideut OF Saturday afternoon, the l 1th
inst, after the interview, in which he
stated to him his views respecting the ten
ure of Office act, and his own duty there.
under, he believed he had made his posi-
ton entirely clear to Mr.. johnson, and that
the latter perfectly understood what his
action would be. He sought that inter-
view on Saturday for the express purpose
of stating his views-a course which he
considered due to the President, on ac-
count of conversation he had held with
him on the same general subject, soon
after being assigned to the I'D interim
Secretaryship. He distinctly told Mr..
johnson that under the tenure of Office law
his functions would terminate as soon as
he should be officially notified that the
Senate had refused to approve the suspen-
sion of Mr. Stanton. The President argued
that he had not been acting under the law
in question, but under the constitution, and
endeavored to show that in sending his
reasons to the Senate, and in whatever else
he had done, he had not committed him
self TO a recognition of the law. In short,
that he had done nothing which be might
not Just as well have done if the law in
question had never been enacted but Cen
eral Grantinformed him that he considered
himself to be holding his Office I'D interim
under the law, and bound to conform to it
in his action.
The conversation was quite protracied,
and when the General was leaving, the
President said will see you again about
il" or words to that effect; but General
Grant did not understand this as an order
to call on the President again, nor was any
thing said about his calling on Monday

A PARAGRAPH in the Shelbyville Amer
lean Union states that the Radicals Of
that region are giving currency to a re-
mort that the Hon. John Bell had de-
clared himself in favor Of Gen. Grant for
the Presidency. Very properly the
american Union explicitly denies the
statement We have had no conference
by letter on otherwise with this diatin-
euished Statesman upon this subject, but
think we are sufficiently acquainted
with his views to corroborate the denial
that he has ever authorized such a state
ment Doubtless, it is a lure to deceive
the old line Wings of Tennessee who
for so many years were wont to regard
DIR Bell as their leader
That gentleman is in feeble health, and
has wholly retired from public life. He
would not hazard the fame he bears as
one Of the first Conservative Statesmen
the country has ever produced, by lending
the weight Of his name to the Presiden-
tial pretentions Of a man so glariagly
UNQUALIFIED as Grant, and one who if he
has any opinions at al, is the representa-
tive Of principles at war with every politi.
cal sentiment Mr. Bell ever uttered. The
story is too ridiculous for serious reiata-
ton. but it is well enough to correct it in
order to prevent misapprehension.

WHAT Do You THINK OF II 1--WE
have published, from day to day, since
the first Monday in October, accurate
and impartial reports Of the proceedings
Of the Legislature which possessed any
earthly interest to any class of readers,
and much that was Of no interest or value
to any human being under the sun.
Nearly four months have passed away,
and what have the people profted ?
Times have gotten harder, money scarcer
and the general embarrassment greater.
Yet Gov. Brownlow recently officially in
formed the public in a special message,
that the Legislature is costing the people
of the State but small fraction less than
a thousand dollars per day. These facts
deserve the consideration OF the public,
and should sink deep into the minds of
the people who have to foot the bills.
