Grant and the Two Houses.

RTon1 he ~. Y. Herald.
Grant, as President, has encountered despe-
rate opposition from the squad of outside poll
ticians-the multitude OF ofice-seekers who
have no other reasons to give in support of
their claims for places than that they hur-
rahed for 'the party' before election and
hoped 1t would win. He would not recognize
these as reasons; hence the hostility of this
element He has also encountered desperate
but Ineffective opposition in the House of
Representatives and stronger one in the
Senate. These inside oppositions are inspired
by the plunder rings, and that of the Senate is
the stronger because the Senate is more in the
hands Of the men who buy aud sell votes.
Fresh from the people, the members of the
House yet act on those thoughts and sympa-
thies that prevail among the people. They
have not yet been sufficiently long under the
hands of the jobbers. But the Senate has
another character. Its members stay
longer at Washington and are more
under the influences that prevail there.
Wherever there is a new Senator, as
we see in several cases-notably that of Fem
ton-his sympathies also are with the Presi-
dent in his fight for the purity of the Govern
ment. Grant seems to act on this view of the
elements in organizing his friends in the two
houses. Judging by the clamor we hear
against Fenton from the more corrupt parts
of the Republican press, our new Senator
must stand high in Grants confidence. We
believe he will prove a valuable support to
the Executive where he just now needs sup
port most. Fenton is a man who has been
long in political life, has had experience in
Washington, and, what is more, has gone to
the top of that Jacobs ladder of experience
that is found in New York politics. Grants
best friend in the House is man, if possible,
even better suited to the work before him.
Butler is the strongest man in parliamentary
tactics, in political sagacity, in the rough and
tumble of discussion, or in fair stand up
debate, that has made his appearance in the
Buffers hands are sure to carry everything
before them in one house, and in Fenton they
have strong help in the other house. 1t is
an omen of good promise for Grant that he
shows his old perception in securing the right
sort of help.

What Next ?
R'opp the ", Y, World,

"The sudden and sweeping reversal OF the
order concerning the relations of the staff OH :.
GERS in the War Department to the General of
the Army, with which the accession of General
sherman was recently signalized is remarkable.
What Is its meaning pm. Y, Tribune.
Not at all remarkable ! 1t is only one more
in the lengthening list of the blunders of
President Grant. 1t is Stewards case over
again, with the difference that Grant has not
asked Congress to repeal the laws which he
violated. 1t is much the same as the attempt
to revoke the pardons of his immediate prede-
cessor, which Judge Hoar has told his chief he
had no legal power to make. AS proof of the
universally and denseness of the ignorance
OF the President on all matters of public law,
this last abort is perhaps more convincing
than its predecessors, inasmuch as Grant has
claimed to be an expert in army matters and
army legislation. The World denounced the
original order of March 5, 1869, and thus the
eyes of the military hierarchy at Washington
were opened.
The idea of taking away from the Secretary
of War the authority which he had heretofore
exercised in military matters, and comforting
1t on the General of the Army, has been pet
with Grant for long time. When not dis
coursing OF horses and pups, he talked Of
how, by reason of the absence of General
Scott from Washington with his headquarters
in this city or West Point, the War Depart
ment had been enabled to perfect its usurpa-
tion, and make the Adjutant- General, sitting
in the War Office, in effect the commanding
officer of the army. So when he got to be
President he fired off the order which he has
just now been compelled to rescind, because
it vested in General Sherman the control of
matters wherein, by law, the judgment of the
Secretary of War must be exercised and de-
clared. The General Order No. IL abolished,
in great part, the Office of Secretary of War,
just as tie performances of Admiral Porter
lnnn1 ard sat aaida tho fuuotinOa 0f the Sac
retary of the Navy. 1t required, in the pre-
sent case, twenty three days for Grant to
comprehend that his order to Schofeld of
March 5, 1869, was not as a legal order,
worth the paper on which it was written.
What next?
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1869-04-02

but three weeks ago, they SO ostentatiously
worshipped. In the case OF the Evening Post,
''the fawning syoophant Of yesterday is oou-
verted into the austere critic Of the present
hour" and the Tribune says 'how art thou,
my brother ?" as often as IL dares. Such
''blind guides" cannot fail soon to hear the
popular denunoiation, "Woe to you'll
II will Re remembered that the earliest aud
most trusted advisers Of President Grant were
Wasbburne and Rollins. By either of these
fourth. rate men he could be led into any folly.
The latter induced him to sanction or write
letters or orders in respect to Mr.. Binckley,
late Solicitor of the Internal Revenue, which
Judge Wylie, in passing sentence on Binck-
lev, said ''shOuld not be whitten, and it was
wrong to publish them" He added that the
"archives Of the Government did not furnish
q similar case"
The comments of the Wcrld upon the
attempted revocation Of the Depuy pardon are
not forgotten, nor the attempt of the Times
to vindicate the proposition of Grant, Wash
burne, and Rollins, that the pardon, being in
the hands of Marshal Murray, had not been
delivered to the petitioners, and therefore was
revocable by the President. similar effort
of revocation was made in Boston; and we will
permit the accomplished Federal attorney Of
the Massachusetts, District, Mr.. George s..
Hillard, who brought the subject before the
court day or two since, to state the facts in
his own language. He said:-
THE Marshal received the pardon on the 5th
of March, a document entirely unlike the usual
form of q pardon. The words and thereupou
was sentenced TO -o on the - day Of are
erased. The word sentence is used when there
has been no sentence. 1t Is In the hand writing
of the Assistant Secretary of State, IS am inS
formed 1t reached the hands of the Marshal
by mail on the 5th OF March, and in the after
noon Of that day was recalled to Washington.
The present Attorney. zen eral, upon considers.
tion of the subject, held that the pardon, hav.
ing been delivered to the Marshal. took effect,
anG caused the document to be returned. In
his opinion think he was right as a matter of
law"
And yet, when this outrage upon common
and statute law, no less than common sense,
was perpetrated by this triumvirate, every
Republican journal in New York was dumb,
or else, like the Times, vindicated the act, and
called in question the correctness Of the
opinions expressed by the World on ques-
tion of public law.
Verify, ''the makers of an idol have gone to
confusion ~
