PRESIDENT GRANTS 'sADMIH1sTRAT10H
!. The appointments thus far made. and
the general course pursued b5 President
Grant, hare given distinctive tone and
character to his administration, Of which We
may already speak with confidence, though
some time viii be required for tho develop
3zn4pt Of comprehensive and thorough re-
in ~ departments Of the govern
hent Fist ind foremost it is clear that
President Grant has no theory that it is his
duty to distribute the Offices, as tho min
falls, equally on the Just and on tho unjust;
to place those who support the principles Of
equal rights to all men, on which he WAS
elected, on the same basis as those who still
cling to the lost cause. In nominating
General Longstreet, formerly rebel, but
now Republican, 70 be Collector Of Gus
toms Ia New Orleans, and the colored Mr..
Pirchbaek, OF Louisiana, to minor Office
in the same State, as well as in the nomina-
ton Of colored men for leading Post Office
in South Carolina, for Justice Of the Peace
at Washington, and for Ministers to Hayt
and Liberia, President Graft has shown
that he desires to recognize neither color
nor past participation in the rebellion il
followed by earnest conversion to the prin-
cip!es Of freedom, as any bas to Office or
prefe1ment. This is broad, sound basis
On which to conduct the government in the
future, and We are heartily glad that P1esi-
dent Grant has SO promptly acted upon it.
There is possibility Of OVERRIDING magma
ninity 30 IS to defeat justice; bat rs yet the
President las not exposed himself to that
charge.
Ever! appointment thus far nnads hns
commended itself to the party that Plsced
General Graat in power, from party point
Of view. The repeated predictions thrown
out before the election, that the Republican
party had nominated a mailed sphyn1, po-
Hdcd enigma, which wonld get prove to be
q Democratic President, hare al vanished
under the first sir weeks Of Grants admin
istration. No 1etrogzade ideas have been
urged upon Congress, though the President
has not been SLOW in adding the weight Of
