RErTER LEI wELL.ENoUGH ALONE

When Gen. Grant first became a
postulant for the benefce Of the
presidency, many of his friends,
who were not applicants for office,
seriously questioned the policy and
propriety Of his becoming can
didate o. accepting the nomination,
rendered to him. Indeed this ad-
vice was volunteered to him, and
was duly taken into consideration.
The result, however, is well known
to the public. Grant became
President, vacating his military
position as General-in-chief, and
this seems to have been the cardi-
nal error of his life.
A confederation of events, aided
by the possession of certain mill
tary qualities, placed Gen. Grant
in the highest position which the
profession of arms could attain in
this republic distinction created
especially for him by the adulation
of Congress, and an honor which
had only been conferred heretofore
upon one mantle immortal
Washington. This preferment had
the ridiculous but unfortunate eff
feet of making Grant believe he
was a second Washington, and
that, as such, he was the legitimate
successor ofthat hero who was "first
in peace, first in war and first in the
hearts of his countrymen."
At the time Grant was nominated
General. Chief, to fill the Office
created by Congress, it was seri-
ously questioned by the federal
soldiery whether he was the right
man in the right place, and whether
there were not other general officers
whose services, character and ac-
complishments entitled them far
better to receive that preferment.
Every officer and soldier who
fought under Gen. George Ii.
Thomas felt that their bean ideal of
a commander had been overlooked
and sighted And so it was with
the admirers of many other Gen
erals. But the selection was made
by President Johnson, and Grant
became Gcneral-i in Chief, the first
stepping stone to the Presidency.
When the canvass of 1865 was
over, and Grant resigned the glitter
and glare of buttons and stars for
the more sober garb of the Chief
Executive of the nation, he pro
posed to have no policy but the
will of the people, and no doubt
fancicd himself at one and the
same time the legitimate and *or-
thv successor of Washington, the
statesman and patriot, as well as
the emuIator of Napoleon Bona
parte, the greatest soldier and first
Consul of France. All of the emf

DOnGISG THE FRANCHISE CUES
TIAN.

Mr.. VIM. M. Woodcock, the
business manager Of the Stokes or
gan here, has been nominated as the
Stokes candidate for "fioater" from
Sumner, Smith and Macon. In his
acceptance, he says:
As under the wholesale registration
inaugurated by Governor Senter, every
man in the State, whether entitled to
suffrage or not, will be admitted to the
ballot-box on the 9th of August next, l
regard the issue of immediate enfran-
ehisemeHt as dead and all arguments
pro or con as idle and foolish, and will
not discuss this feature of the canvass.
In view of the fact that the
question Of immediate enfranchise-
ment is a dead issue, this Stokes
candidate very demurely says that,
if defeated, he will "cheerfully ac-
quiesce in the popular decision"
Really, these Stokes men have a
very convenient way of dealing
with issues they choose to regard
as dead. Stokes himself treats this
as living issue, and is battling for
political existence upon this very
question. While he is doing this
all over the State, the business
manager of his organ here, who
wants to get back to the Legisla-
ture, tells the citizens to whom he
appeals for votes that it is dead
The first Thursday in August will
demonstrate to Mr.. Woodcock that
this franchise question is one ofthe
livest issues he ever encountered, if
he does not take his departure up
Salt river before the morning of
that dav.

The following card from Gen
Frank p. Blair in regard to the at.
fair at the "Army of the Gulf "
banquet, the other day at Long

writing which goes to the quick in
every instance:
New York CITY, July 10, lS69.-To
the Editor of the World-SR: The
New York Tribune and the Times do me
a great injustice in their notice Of the
reunion Of the officers OF the Army Of the

They assert that insulted the associa-
