The Johnson Grant Correspondence.


The daily papers of Wednesday brought us
the finale OF the Johnson-Grant correspon-
dence. | consists OF crushing reply by the
President to Gen. Grants letter of February
Sd, and of short rejoinder by Gen. Grant, in
which he repes the charge of INSTRUMENTATION
brought against him in the Presidents con-
Guiding letter.
The upshot of the whole is, that the Presi-
dent charged Grant with having solemnly
promised, when he took the office Of Secretary
of War I'D interim, after the removal OF Stan
ton. that, in case the senate should refuse to
confirm the removal he would not surren-
der the office to Stanton except on the
Intervention of the courts, or that he would
resign the Office and give the President an OPP
portunity, before the final action of the Sen
ate, to appoint another in his place; and that
Grant had basey and treacherously broken
this promise to the President This charge
Grant denied and now the President brings
the statements of five of his cabinet officers to
prove not only that the Presidents charge OF
falsehood against Grant is true, but that, at a
meeting of the cabinet the day after Stanton
returned IT, the War Office, Grant admitted his
treachery and attempted to justify it.
The republican papers affect to soften down
and pallatc this business for Gen. Grant by
saying the President and cabinet were too
sharp for him, inveigled him into the difficult
ty. &c; but there stands the fact-open and
papable that Grant has been guilty of such
falsehood that no gentleman, let alone high
without disgrace.
Even the more respectable republican papers
admit the disgrace of Grant in view of this
correspondence. The Chicago Journal, which
advocated his nomination for the Presidency,
says facetiously " 1t is suggested that those
persons who have been saying that they would
be glad to go for Grant if he would only
write something over his own name and let
the country know where he stood, will have
to change their tactics the Generals letters
to johnson have rather played that sort of
thing OUT
Rather we should say decidedly. But
there is Il more serious aspect OF the case.
Gen. Grant accepted an important charge of
the President on certain conditions, and base
ly broke his agreement A powerful party
threaten to elect him President of the United
States His late abasement is believed to have
been tie price of n nomination by the party
in question. If he does not hold himself
bound 20 surrender back TO the president
powers which he derived solely from the pres
ident, he may not be ready, at the proper
time, to surrender 10 the people powers which
they may intlGist 10 him. Instead of being q
safe man. may he not he the most dangerous
man in the country to whom the people can
coniide their interests.

WILL DICK YATES RESIGN Not much

II Washington correspondent, blocking as well
as ever saw him. lasked him if it were true
that he intended to resign. He said he never
had the least idea OF doing so; that when he
gave up the senatorship there would be a fu-
neral in Washington, in which he would neces-
sarily play quiet, but prominent part" For
the comfort of John A. Logan, Col. Ingcrsoll,
Dick Oglesby, John NJ Palmer, and other
gentlemen, who are SO anxious that Yates

starvation in Sweden.

The news from Sweden is appalling. Three
hundred thousand of her people arc reported
to be on the eve of starvation. Tie follow
ing eloquent letter has been addressed to Mr..
Seward, by W. w. Thomas. IT,, Of Portland,
Maine: "Three hundred. Thousand aard-worIS-
ing patient Swedes are starving in Norrland.
Their crops for three years have been bad; last
year they were an utter failure; and even now
their miserable bread, made Of straw and the
bark Of trees, has given out They sit in their
cherries huts and die. Ny private adyices
from Scandinavia represent this calamity worse
even than the published accounts. For three

Another National Fair.

Our attention has been called to u circular
issued by the society called the "NATIoSAI.
SOLDIERS AND SAILORS WIDOWS AND MORN
Frs HOME ASSOCIATION proposing to hold a
fair in New York City, April l4th," to raise
money to provide permanent homes for the
destitute widows and mothers of those fallen
in the land and naval service of the Nation.
The Executive Committee are a III

g Gen Robert Anderson,
:" Hon. s. B. ClIittenden, Vice Priests
4" J. Owen Rouse,
I" ]. c. Carlisle, Secretary.
George w. Pratt, Esqr., II Exchange
Place, New York, Treasurer
The scheme has the endorsement of any
amount of Major Generals, Brigadiers, Gov
errors Of States,-members of congress, and
other persons eminent in civil life
The circular makes an appeal to the benev-
client, asking contributions in money or arti-
Giles suitable for sale at Fairs, TO DC forwarded
to No. Go1 Broadway, to,the address Of the
association, given ~ above.
To add to the interest of the fair, articles OF
manufactures OF all kind are solicited for ex-
hibition. in a separate department.
We know nothing further of this scheme
than what is communicated in the circular.
The object is highly commendable, and as
it is proposed that no aged and infirm woman
shall be turned away from these homes, when
once instituted her character and the necess-
tiles and accommodations of the home per
hitting it. the institution will be needed long
after the wives, widows and mothers made
childess by the war, will have ceased to be.
1t is the aim of the association to devise
means for erecting such homes at diverse yet
central points convenient to all parts cf the
land-honorablc retreats for those whose scan
ty pensions and limited means may render
them desirable
We would call attention of the Old Soldiers
Aid Societies to the work
We understand one ASSOCIATION in Ottawa is
at work for the object, with which correspon-
dcncc could be held, if desirable, through
Mrs. S. G. Henshaw.
We have been slightly acquainted with one
"Old Ladies' Home" in Brooklyn, N. Y, where
4 worthy INDECENT wornsn, for small sum,
can find all that is desirable in an earthly
home to one in such circumstances, in lifr's
declining years: viz, good food, clean and
comfortable rooms, cheerful surroundings. We
should like te see such institutions multiplied
till every large city could afford one.
The only thing which cxcites orr surprise
in the call Of the proposed fair, is, that We
have seen nothing OF 1t in the newspapers.
No enterprise of this kind can succeed in
cnlisting the interest of the west and eass to-
gcther, except the newspaper press take up
and urge its matter upon the people. Circre-
lars issued under frank ofmcmbers of congress
cannot accomplish the work strongly and ex-
tensiyely.

N ext Ele ction.

That the democracy are gaining confidence in
in being able TO carry this State at the next cleo
tion, is evidenced by the fact that so many
candidates are appearing for the various Off
ces. The claims OF at least half a dozen ofun-
exccptionable men have already been present
ed for Governor, two or three for Auditor, &c
lfThe last nomination we notice is that of Capt.
ISAAC r. DTLLER. now of Chicago, for Secre-
tary of State, by the Rock Island argus. We
could write first rate notice, two columns in
length, of Capt. Dillcr, if necessary; but there
are few democrats in the State but know all
about him. He is big hearted, splendid fell
low, capable of filing with honor any office
from United States Senator down, and as Sec
rotary of State, would be the most competent
man that has held the Office in the last twenty
| five years.
