and bent double until his election to the throne
of st. Peter, no sooner found himself entitled to
wear the fishermans ring and the triple crown
than he sprung up "ful-statured in an hour"
spat to the ceiling and gave Rome a master. In
like manner, IL is understood, did Mr.. Washburne
impose himself upon Grant as an invalid careless
of place and favor, until he had secured both.
But whatever we may think of Washburne in
this story, what does IL say for Grant?
What sense of the political or moral obliga-
tiOns of his position can a man have who, being
elected President of the United States thinks
the Secretaryship of State mere bauble ft to be
used for hattering the vanity of an imbe-
cile personal friend And what must be
Thought of that man when, finding that he
could only induce his imbeclc personal friend
TO give up one bauble by offering him another,
he selects the most important diplomatic post
i'm his gift as his sop to Cerberus
The truth is that General Grant looks upon
himself not as a President, but n sort of Sui
fam His view of his Office is thoroughly Orien-
tai. We do not mean of course, to imply that
he entertains Oriental opinions on questions of
domestic economy. But he sees in power what
n Sultan sees in power-a weapon and net,
not duty and trust. The Presidency to him
is at the best promotion. 1t is fresh recog
milton of his services, an enlargement of his
resources an increase of pay, and an extension
of influence. 1t has made him personally a
more important individuaL 1t gives him
a right to n more numerous staff IL en-
ables him to do more than he ever could
before for the couple of dozen kinsmen and
family connections who come down rejoicing
out of the Northwest to crowd the Presidential
table Mt meat and to clamor in the Presidential
ear for office. Perhaps this is, after all, no more
than was to have been expected from person
whose sole experience of the public service had
been earned in the army The soldier was the
seed of the Sultan in old times. Why should the
seed bear other fruit to-day? The sword of
General Grant is but n sword after all, like the
sword of Tamerane or a Mahmoud or a Ba-
jazet 1t has carved out for him political for
tune hardly less marvellous than any of those
antique and famous blades achieved for their
possessors. Possibly we have no right to be sur
prised that, like them he should regard the for
tune which his sword has given him as his own
to do with it as he will.
But it is certain that the American party
leaders who find him in this mood are not the
sort of men tamely to acquiesce in his indulgence
of such an infatuation rs to his claims and his
opportunities He may, and he probably will,
succeed in destroying the organization which
those men represent. But they, in their turn,
will as certainly destroy him. The era of the
bowstring and the janissaries has not yet ripened
in the New World.

PROGRESS OF POLITICAL LIGHT.

From the N y. Times.
We see case reported in England which
shows how slowly improvements are made i'm
that country, and how far behind us, in practi-
cal politics. the inhabitants of that 'etfete old
monarchy" are as yet. 1t seems that the Admi-
ralty wanted some timber, and invited propo-
sails. Thereupon one Il. Gambler, "a clerk i'm the
Admiralty, through one Rumble, an engineer
informed Mr.. Maxwell that for $50 he could Get
him the contract Mr.. Maxwell told the Admi-
rally, and the two together laid trap for Gam
bier. They paid Rumble the $50. Maxwell pot
the contract, and then both Rumble and Gam
bier were arrested, tried for conspiring TO OBJ
tain money under false pretenses convicted and
sentenced to eighteen months Of Imprisonment
at hard labor
What would be said of such performance in
this country? What is usually done to persons
who for money obtain offices or contracts for
others Are they sent to prison or to Congress ?
Ask any of the members of the latter body, for.
as a general thing, they kIolc. And what would
be thought of the man who should peach in such
a case and tell who it was that had got him the
contract and how much he had paid for it? And
what would be thought of the jury which should
convict an honest patriotic citizen on the evil
dence of such traitorY And what would be
thought of a Judge who should sentence TO the
ignominy and hard work of prison, a gentleman
convicted of making money by getting contracts
or offices for friends in that way? And finally,
what are we to think of the political institutions
of a country where such things can be done
without arousing the Indignation OF the Whol'
male populationg
We must consult the new Governor Of Mon
tana and his dear Case on these intricate
points of political law. The committee of Con
gress that investigated the case of Ashley, who
wanted to be full partner with Case IN all his

New YoRK, June 1s.-The cubans who we're
captured paid the Ludlow-street jailor, each,
twenty dollars for bed. Minister Senior
Lemus was found at his residence in Brooklyn,
at late hour, but declined to recognize the
character Of the officers who presented the
order, and refu sed to permit himself to be ar
rested. He gave his parole to appear in the
morning at court and answer. The officers
acknowledged that they had been well paid to
make the arrest at that late hour, the pre-
sumption being that it was intended to SUBJ
ject him to the personal indignity Of i'm
prisonment al an hour when nc. court was
in session to take cognizance of bail. The
verbiage OF the bond to keep the pence is to
be Of good behavior towards the United
States, and to refrain from any violation OF the
neutrality lawsr or from any breach Of the
peace Of the United States for the term Of one
year. The whole proceeding was charaoteriz-
ed by rufianism and brutality. Mr.. Evarts ap-
peared for Senior Lemus.

New excitement is given to the canvass in
Tennessee by the letter Of Governor Brown
low, published in all the Tennessee papers, in
favor of universal suffrage. 1t is very positive
and dogmatic in tone. He holds that the ne
oessity for disfranchsement no longer exists,
that the recent decision of the Supreme Court
Of Tennessee has shorn the disf1anchislng
clauses Of the State Constitution Of much Of
their strength. and that for the Republicans Of
Tennessee to continue the restrictive policy,
when the party everywhere else opposes 1t, is
misohievous and ridiculous. He winds up
with decla1atio Of renewed faith in the Re.
publican organization, aud reprokatton Of
both the policy and practice of the Democrate
party.
