Highly satisfactory.

The New York Sun Of the 10th SAYS: The
list Of officers for the twenty-five regiments
into which the infantry force Of the army is
to be consolidated, shows that President
Grant and General Sherman have made their
selections with singular freedom from pe--
sonal bias. Forty-fve regiments are to be
reduced to twenty-five, throwing out twenty
Colonies, and an equal number o: Lisutsn.

Indeed, in the whole list Of Cnloaels who
are to be mustered ont. there is but one, Cor
don Granger, Of the Twenty-fnh, for whom
It can be supposed that either the President
OF the General OF the Army chsrisbeH any
personal dislike. This officer, however. am
ply merits his fa'e by reason Of his S~Hieious
aud noisy devotion TO Andrew Johnson and
his kind of politics during the last two or
three years and it is also recorded in every
history Of the war that at the great battle Of
Chattanooga, when the three divisions Of
Sheridan, Wood, and Baird charged the
height of Missionary Ridg-, and carried the
rebel works on the summit, Granger, WLO
as the commander Of the Fourth Army Corps

GreenevIIlc Demonstration.

We were present on the occasion of the
sr-Presidsnrs reception at his old home.
The welcome was not SO enthusiastic nor the
attendance so large as were anticipated and
in this respect the affair was a partial failure.
But Of the number present, which was large,
a majority was opposed to Johuson's policy,
as we were informed BY reliable citizens of
the town. 1t bad been Justify heralded that
the reception was not to be of a partisan
character, but it is significant that no Re-
publican papers were requested to publish
the order of arrangements md allthe officers
of the day were Conservative. The fact was
Also noticeable that some were ofieiOuS, who
eight years ago offered him personal insults
ia the same place. The latest we have from
Greenevills is that Mayor Culver has succeed
ed Johnson in the veto business.
