Wendell Phillips Charges Drunkenness on
Grant.

From the Anti Slavery Standard.l
This is an anti.slavery journal. Look.
ing out on politics as the negro looks on
them, il deals with public men and meas.
.nres only as they are true or false to him.
Bat experience has abundantly proved,
even before the existence OF the present
administration, that only temperate men
can safely be trusted with grave respon'
sibilities. Temperance is the substratum
Of all other reforms. How sad the re
suit, when power is given to men who
are wont ITO put an enemy in their
mouths to steal away their brains" this
war has most impressively shown US.
Now rumors reach us from Washington,
coming from different aud Trustworthy
sources, that General Grant has been
seen unmistakably drunk in the streets
of that city within few weeks. We
know nothing ourselves Of the truth Of
these rumors. We make no charge
against General Grant in this respect.
But even the possibility Of the truth Of
these reports is of too momentous i'm
portance to be lightly dealt with. The
nation is bound to inquire as to the
habits of candidates for high Office.
After the experience Of the last three
years it has no right to run the
slightest risk in this respect No public
man, whose friends are asking for him
high Office, ought to complain Of the
strictest scrutiny by the public as to his
habits in this particular. We call,
therefore, on the National aud State
temperance societies to investigate these
reports. They have this subject in their
special charge. They are bound to give
up the facts, and save us from even the
possibility of such another infliction as
the nation now suffers. Especially we
call on the Hon. Henry Wilson, a
pledged teetotaler, to see that the whole
truth in this matter is given to the
country. He has devoted himself to the
advocacy of Grants claims. AS tenn
perance man he is bound to see that we
run no risks of this kind. Living in
Washington, he must know, or have am
pie means of knowing, the truth as to
this matter. If we are unnecessarily
anxious let him relieve us by trust
worthy assurances that Grant is now a
temperate maH, fully able, on all occa-
sions, to Withstand this temptation. II
the fact is not so, let him explain to his
temperance associates how he dares to
ask their votes for Grant. 1t is perilous
enough to give the Presidency to man
who pas confessedly, an inreterat,
drunkard tpo or three years ago. Blu
| ii will be the greatest crime to give it tC
him if that vice still holds him in hi
iron grasp. Of course fidelity to tn
negro must be orr first and decisive tes
of any mans fitness for the Presidency
But this test of temperance is also vita

MRS. GEN. ROBERT ANDERSON, having
petitioned Congress for a reimbursement
of damages done to the plantations of her
father, General Clinch, in Florida, thirty
years ago, by the Semi mole Indians, the
Committee on Claims have made report
in her favor. They say that it is difficult
to say what should be paid; but, for the
purpose of liquidating the claim, and in
consideration of. General AHderson's s
eminent services to the country, they
recommend an appropriation of fifteen
thousand dollars.

From the Independent, January 25.l
Under the roof of the Capitol there is
now very little intemperance, whether
among Democrats or Republicans. Oc-
casionally Presidential candidate is
seen fuddled on the streets; but as this
happens only on a Sunday, it cannot be
said to interfere with public business, and
does not strkingly challenge public at
tention. Besides, if Vice President is
drunk with view to his inauguration,
what shall restrain Presidential candi-
date from little tipsiness with view to
his nomination ? One glass of wine
poured dow the throat of the next Pres.
ident of the United States, and making
a hell in his blood, may give this whole
nation the deleriuns tremeRS. We sug.

From the Revolution, January 49,
The talk is that Cabinet officer called
General Grant liar" and sneak; !"
that General Grant is drunk half the
time, and has been steadying himself on
anothcr's arm in Pennsylvania avenue
that Stanton aud Washburn have hum
bugged him, and that he feels his degrs-
dation, and don't look anybody in the
face. The talk is that Jay Cooke goes in
for killing General Grant and nominating
Chase; that Chase don't get drunk, is a
moral man, and liberal to loan agents
and national bank men. The talk is that
the people are sick of all politicians /;
that they don't see their temperance or
morality in Washington; that they want
fresh deal now.
