GRANT TAKING CARE OF MS OWN House
uoLD.--Thc fact that President Grant is
putting all his kin in office, causes much
dissa tsiaction among the Republicans of
tho North, and many Radical sheets arc
abusing him roundly--the Chicago press
particularly. Hero is an extract;
Grant it is ascertaincd, has policy.
1t includes in its scope all his family
friends, and according 10 Drake, of Mis-
souri,, "all his id old bar-room cronies."
Mr. Jefferson was right in the matter of
leaving his relatives tout in the cold"
The reader will excuse US for mentioning
the name Of jefferson in tho same article
with that of Grant. In Randall's Life OF
Jefferson, Vol. 2, P. &C., is the following
letter written by Thomas Jefferson to his
kinsman, George jefferson: 4c as
DEAR SR:--I have to acknowledge the
receipt Of yours of March 4, and to ex-
press to you the delight with which !
found tho very just disinterosted and
honorable point of view in which you saw
the proposition it covered. The resolution
you SO properly approved had long been
formed insmy mind. The public willineyer
bo made,t believe that the heaapRointment
of a relative is made on the ground of
merit alone, unintiuenced, by family views;
nor can they ever sec. with appreciation
offices, the disposal Of which they intrust
to the President for public purposes,
divided out as family property. Mr..
Adams degraded himself infinitely by his
conduct on this subject. as Washington
had done himself the greatest honor. With
two examples to proceed by, 1 should be
doubly inexcusable to err. II is true that
this places the relations of the President
in worse situation than if, he were o
stranger, but The public good, which can
not be effected, if its confidence be lost,
requires this sacrifice. Perhaps, too, Il is
compensated by sharing in the public
esteem. could not DO satisfied till as
sured you Of the increased esteem with
which this, transaction fills me for you.
Accept my affcctionate expressions of it.
