Grnnt mud the PoIiticians.

The President elect is just entering
upon his troubles. His late interview
with MCCLURE, Republican politician
and wire-worker from Pennsylvania,
has left him in hot water up to his chin.
The point perplexing to politicians,
made by General GRANT in that inter
view, is, according to the Cincinnati
Commercials correspondent, "that he
did not pretend to be the representa-
tive of the Republican party, or any
other party, but that be intended, so
far as he could, to be- the President OF
the whole people" As might have been
expected, this briagS down upon him
the wrath OF all the party leaders,
whose chief aim is to make of the Pres
ident mere machine for grinding out
appointments.
Ii has grown into custom, and
most vicious case om at that, for the So
called leaders in State politics to name
the Federal officials from their respec'
tive States when the FaIty to which
they belong comes out on top IN that
sweetest Of all scrimmages, Presidcn-
tial election. Men are no longer chosen
to Federal positions because of their
fitness, expericnac, capacity, integrity,
but because of the effect their appoint
ment NAV have on "tho interests of
the party" la other words, Federal ap-
pointmeuts are simply the rewards OF
partisan service, and the interests sfthc
whole people are frequently jeopardcd
to pay them.
We do not know that it is possible
for General GRANT to remedy this state
of affairs 1t is true that iu making
the attempt he would have the sympa-
thy of 'the whole people," whose Pres
ident he claims to be, but long before
they eau make their voice heard in his
behalf, these disappointed politicians
will combine against him on some de-
lusive humbug issue, possibly carry the
masses With IutLu, anu uldhc VI HIS ldIS u
mouruful repetition of that of JOHNSON.
JOHNSON fai ed because he made enc
mics of the politicians and then gave
them time to make friends with the
people. If GRANT would "have peace
he had better surrender at dis.
crerion. For the sake of the Dem
ocratic party We want to see no
more fights between the Republicans
and their President, and while we may
admire GRANTS purpose to kick the pol
iticians out of doors; we would like to
see that harmony between him and
his party which would ensure to
its policy a fair trial. Then Radicalism
would come before the country on its
merits. There would be no "reCreant
President" ON whom to throw the re
sponsibility for errors aud follies. We
earnestly hope the President elect may
be reooncilcd 10 his own household.

THE CAPITAL QUESTION.
Mr.. HQWES moved that the vote by
which the House refused to disagree to
the Senate substitute for House Bill No.
a, locating the seat of government, be
reconsidered.
The motion was objected to by sew
eral as out of order, inasmuch as the
bill had been passed upon finally by
both Houses, and was now in possession
Of the keeper of the rolls as a law.
The Speaker overruled the objection,
and Mr.. CARROLL appealed from the
decision.
Mr.. LAMB said the bill having. been
passed regularly by both Houses it was
undoubtedly as mach law as any act
of the session. The only possible way
to reach it was to pass another bill to
repeal or amend it. To entertain the
motion to reconsider bill that had
passed both Houses and passed cut of
the possession of either, would be to
presume necessarily that one House
could repeal or render imperative every
act passed during the session.
Messrs. SMITH, of Kanawha, and
PlNNELL took the same view of the
question.
Messrs. SCOFIELD aud SMITH, of
Morgan, took sides with the ruling OF
the chair.
The ayes and noes were ordered aud
taken and the decision of the chair

tn. Capita, FIXED for the Pre.eur.


An attempt was made in the House
on Saturday to reconsider the vote D!
which the Senate substitute for houso
Bill No. a, fixing the seat OF uo'e,n- g,
ment at Charleston, became u Jaw iN'
point WAS raised that a motion 10 TO-
consider was not in order, the whoie
question having passed beyond the con,
trolof the House. The Speaker held
that the motion was in order, but the
House overruled his decision, thus set
ting the whole matter at rest, for TINS
session ut least.
We do not regard this as by any
means a final disposition of the case.
The law fixing the Capital at Charles
ton does not go into effect until April
1870. An election for members OF the
Legislature intervenes, aud there Is
every reason to believe that the qpes-
tion of repeal will enter largely into ne
canvass next Fall, and that very many
members will be returned with insfruc-
items to change the location already
made. The various competing points,
such as Grafton, Parkersburg, Clarks.
burg and Buckhannon, will, we think,
unite in agitating repeal, and their
combined influence may have the effect
of unsettling all that has already been
done. Instead of getting this question
out of our legislation, we look for
harder fight next Winter than has ever
been had. The contest will be intensi-
fed by the general discussion of the
matter before the people.
Until the Great Kanawha Valley can
be made accessible by railroad lines,
Charleston will not be popular loca-
ton with this end of the State. The
only argument that will weigh with
the people of the central and northern
sections will be that it is better to
allow the matter to remain at rest, now
that a location has been made, than to
open up vexatious agitation with
prospect of arriving at no better con-
clusion than that already reached. We
are not Inclined to think that this will
control the people of interested points,
and are therefore not disposed to regard
the seat of Government as finally fixed.
