The New York Tribune denounces the
organization known as the Grand Army of
the Republic" as a combination formed by
political leaders 'lor political purposes; they
propose TO keep alive the wrath and bitterness
of that dreadful time; they mean to control
conventions and nominate men to ofhce-to
perpetuatc in our civil system the bitterness Of
war And in still more severe terms it adds:
There are crafty, bold, bad men, who look
upon these societies as so many instruments
for their own advancement They propose 10
ally themselves with this military government,
with no NOR; claim upon it than ThcnardiCr,
in Hugo's novel, had to be called the Sergeant

robbed the bodies Of the slain. The true

closet, and it remains an heirloom. He be-
comes citizen, and makes no claim for pollti
cal honor but that OF citizenship, Above all

to talk freely upon matters and things IN
general connected with his late missiOn-to
say that every step he took was under iDstruc-
tions from his government-and TO affirm that
the treaty was rejected because the present
administration did not want the johnson adj
ministration to have the credit OF settling The
difficulties with Great Britain, e.: We do
not know that the alleged conversation with
Mr. johnson is at all correctly nar.ateG-cyen

we hope it never did. h is quite time that

New PRESSES OF THE LONDON TINES The
Times is now printed by new machinery per-
feet and so simple that it takes but one engi-
neer and three laborcrs to print off the whole
edition of the Times. The principle of the
machine is that tho paper is not cut into sheets
before if is printed but is brought to the ma
chine in q long roll. 1t passes through the
machine, is printed on both sides, and IS divi
ded as it passes out, the whole process being
automatic. The idea has long been worked at
by engineers, but has only lately been practi
caly carried out, under the superintendence
of Mr.. Mcdonald the engineer, who has
charge of the whole Times machinery. The
new machine is called the Walter Press, in
honor of the proprietor Of the Times. 1t will
quite supersede the Hoe machine, and is an
improvement upon the admirable French
Marinoni machine upon which the Echo is
printed. - Court Journal
