perhaps Daniel Pratt, the great American
traveller. The resolves of the Tennessee
State Convention are quoted, that Gin the
discharge of his great functions as Presi-
dent Of the United States %% he
rendered his name illustrious" an opinion
rather the reverse of the popular verdict.
But Macon newspaper qualities its praise
of ''that honest and incorruptible statesman"
by admitting that 'infrmities of temper" may
be ascribed to A. j. Iafrnities is a some
what limited though .euphonious word; it is
not, however, new expression Even
Timothy had 'often infrmities' for which
Paul prescribed, and in one form or another
they are incidental to humanity But the
"infirmities" of A. j. are multifarious; and
we should like to have Tennessee classifca-
ton of them, that We might see what are
deemed venial in that latitude and what
serious. 1t is just possible that what A. j.
calls mere 'infrmities" make him in the
minds Of most men an almost intolerable
nuisance.

me quiet with a slice of beef, but you have
chosen to refuse it to me, and now you shall
feel my fangs." Even President Grant has
not sunk SO low as not to be able to despise
attacks which are instigated by so sordid a
motive as this, even though they go the
length of charging him with corrupt COM
plicity in the designs of a knot of gold gam
blers When a trader in regulations confesses
that the failure of an attempt to levy black
mail moves him to blacken regulations, the
object of his ribald spite can very well afford
to laugh at him. .
But public mischief may, nevertheless, be
wrought by such avowals as this. In the
first place. they lead people to suspect the
sincerity of many attacks upon the admins
tration which are dictated by sense of pub
lie duty, and not by the private spite which
animates such assaults as those of Mr.. Dana.
Here supporters of the administration may
reasonably say, is one newspaper which con-
siders the President 'fool" for refusing to
buy its appreciation, and thereupon gives him
gratis it's abuse May we not suppose that
the same feeling is at the bottom of other
criticisms, the authors of which are yet too
shrewd to betray the grounds of their hos
tility as Mr.. Dana has betrayed his?
For ourselves, and for the whole decent
portion of the American press, we disclaim
participation in such sentiments as these of
the Sun. 1t is too obvious to need more
than mere statement that it is essential to the
value of newspaper criticism that it should be
entirely disinterested. The men who admin
lister it must be entirely beyond either the
open bribe of money or the scarcely less open
bribe of Office. If they do not write solely in
the interest of their client, the public, their
structures are not worth straw. If they
praise officials because they hope to get Office
from them, and attack them when they have
failed to get Office from them; or if they PAN
der to the baser portion of the people with
reckless abuse, and make of what should be a
public guide merely a catch-penny private
adventure, they not only render their own re-
marks worthless, and their own characters
contemplate, but they bring into disrepute
the press of which they form a part.
1t is to fix this disrepute where it belongs
that we take this notice of Mr.. Dana and his
paper. We believe that there is no other
Journalist of any standing in the country
who would be or who would avow himself to
be influenced by such motives as he has taken
for granted that all journalists are influenced
by. The conduct of man at the head of a
metropolitan newspaper who permits his pub
lie utterances to be dictated by his private
grudges can only be characterized as ras-
cally. And a Journalist who assumes that
such grudges are common motive of action
to all his brethren is guilty, in addition, of a
fragrant insult to the honorable members of
his profession.

THOSE SPANISH GUNBOATs.

From the ". Y Herald.
Thirty Spanish gunboats are being built in
this city, or in the neighborhood, for some
object which up to the present time it is diff
cult to determine The Peruvian government
believed that Spain had hostile intentions
towards the Peruvian nation; but this idea
being ridiculed by Serrano's agents here, we
let it pass. Chill may also be regarded safe.
1t is hardly possible that the proud Dons will
again attempt the undertaking of reconstruct
ing the Dominican republic, and as for this
warlize fleet being intended for operations
against the Ever Faithful Isle, it is sheer non
sense; for have we not been informed time and
time again by good and reliable authority
Spanish, of course-that the Cuban revolution
lisa mere nothing; that the insurgents have no
government, no money, no men IN arms, no
seaports, in fact, that they have nothing that
can entitle them to recognition? To be sure,
Spain has sent troops to Cuba; but then it
must be borne in mind that the Spanish trea-
sury is full the people are proud and warlike
and ambitious for display and perhaps the
forces that have been or are being sent from
Cadiz are only intended for exhibition and to
impress upon the youthful republic of the
United States what it might expect if it
should dare to recognize the insurgents
What if four Governments have already
looked with favor and sympathized with the
Rebels? They are only republics. But that
Spain is not pleased with their action is evil
dent from the fact that she has set her foot
down and declared that no further
recognition will be permitted In face of
all this would it not be madness for
the United States to recognize the
patriots? Can anything more forcibly be
asserted in vindication of non-intervention
ON our part ? Has not Spain standing army,
great navy immense resources, and power
full allies? Has she not fleet of gunboats
building here which, in the event of their
getting to sea and having no Cuban ports to
guard, might if the United States Govern
ment was so reckless as to reco gnize Cuba,
blockade our harbors and destroy our COM
merce What if Spain did shelter the Sumter
and the Alabama before her Government
recognized the belligerent rights of the
Shareholders Rebellion? Had she not
perfect right to do so, for is she
not strong and was she not at one
time mistress of the seas ? Things have
taken a more serious turn than the people
think. Without standing army, what could
we do against Spain These are thoughts
which are worthy of consideration, serious OIL
otherwise. Is the republic of the West, then,
in danger? or what does the threat of Spain
and Spanish journalists amount to a? Simply
this-idle bombast, and nothing more, Why
the United States would, if Spain became
! presumptuous, think no more of chastisinG
her than a schoolmaster, with his bircheI
rod, would hesitate to fog an ill-behaved boy
Let these clustering, bombastic Spaniard
cease this nonsense, and speak of the situation
as 1t presents itself as thoughtful and sensibl
men.

From The ". Y. Times.
Whatever may be the result of the Senate
rial contest in Tennessee, its termination
must afford relief to the adherents of
Andrew johnson. Even the fecundity of
Southern editors, in large-mouthed political
diatribes, has failed to supply the necessary
adulation, and his supporters fall back on
the pet phrases of the candidate himself.
To read their fulsome expressions is to recall
the oratory that was belched forth while
swinging around the circle. '"The Constitu-
tion is at stake 1t must be preserved, pro-
tected and defended" shrieks a Nashville
newspaper. 'Such decision of character, such
determination, such grasp of mind and, it
might have added, such obstinate and futile
vetoes, arouse the editorial enthusiasm. He
is pronounced capable of meeting Senator'S
in debate with stern logic and overpowering
fact, such as we suppose, his having held
various offices in the gift of his countrymen;
and of ''arousing the country to the dangers
by which it is imperilled, as we remember,
by putting the Stars and Stripes under his
personal protection. "Who can so quickly
catch the public ear ?"-we give it up, unless

LITERATURE.
VIEW OF VIEW BooKs


we have received ''Felix Holt" the third
volume of Harper's Library Edition of George
Eliots novels. ''Felix Holt" is less popular
than most of the other writings of this author,
but it is a work of remarkable power, and the
characters are drawn with all the subtle skill
for which she is celebrated.
The same house sends us Harper &
Brothers paper edition of Thackerays ''Pen-
dennis" with reproductions of the authors
illustrations. These are not always up to a
high art standard, but they are very characte-
ristic, and it is very certain that no one has
illustrated Thackeray's writings as well as he
did himself.
From Turner Brothers & Co. we have re-
ceived 'Catharine, a story that Thackeray
contributed to FrdSerS Mdgagj1e about
thirty years ago, under the nom de plume of
Ikey Solomons Jun, with view of bringing
into discredit works of Bulwer, Ainsworth,
and Reynolds, that made highwaymen and
burglars the heroes of romantic exploits, thus
enlisting for them a sympathy and admi-
ration that could not fail to have an injurious
effect. The incidents of the story are
founded upon a peculiarly revolving murder
and it is anything but pleasant reading.
The same house sends us ''Too Bright to
Last" very well-written and interesting
novel of English life, published like the
above, by Fields, Osgood & Co.
From T. B. Peterson & Brothers we have
received four volumes of the ''Lake Shore
Series, by Oliver Optic. Published by Lee
& Shepard. These include ''Switch OFF,"
''On Time" Through by Daylight, and
Lightning Express" all of which have
attracted much attention while being pub
lished serally in our B2ys' and Girls Maga-
zine. The four volumes are put up in neat
paper box.
The American Sunday School Union send
us ''Norah's Life at Derncleugh," religious
story for children.
From d. Van Nostrand, New York, we
have received the August, September, and
October numbers of -VdR N0StJdnd'S Eclectic
Engineering MagazjRe This publication is
edited by Alex. l.. Holley, Esq, an engineer
of reputation, and it's contents are iudiciousy
selected from the best American and foreign
engineering serials, The magazine presents
great variety of subjects in each number,
embracing the whole field of practical and
scientific engineering; and it presents in
moderate compass large amount of informa-
ton that would be wholly out of the reach of
the majority of those who are interested in
such matters. The magazine has not yet
completed its first volume, but it has already
taken its place as frst-class publication that
no engineer who wished to be posted with
regard to the progress of his profession
should be without.
The Gardeners Monthly for October,
published by Brinckloe & Marot, No. 23
South Sixth street, contains number of in
| teresting articles on horticultural subjects.
| The October number of the Journal of
tile Gyng0IOgicaI Society Of Boston presents q
report of the proceedings of the society, and

women which are of interest to the medical
fraternity.

THE PRESS AND THE PRESIDENT.

From the NJ Y. World.
A New Haven paper observes that the
course of the New York Sun in attacking
President Grant seems to be dictated by
sheer spite. Up to the time of Grants in
auguration, it truly says no paper was more
profuse in panegyric of him than that one.
But when it appeared that he was not minded
to reciprocate this adulation with the be-
stowal of an Office suitable to Mr.. Dana's ap-
probation of Mr.. Danas services Mr.. Danl's
paper turned again and rent him.
Singular to say, the Sun does not indig-
nantly deny this charge. Contrariwise, II
confesses it, by implication, thus
'This we regard as one OF the most damaging as
sauts upon the reputation OF General Grant for COM
met with II II be true that he could have had the
continued and cordial support or the Sun on the
simple condition OF giving an office TO its editor, was
he not fool not to give it Considering how many
O1ices General Grant has given away TO men who
deserved nothing, and who have since done nothing
but damage his administration and help In breaking
down his party; considering how lavish he was In
bestowing honors and emoluments on MS relations
and cronies 1t certainly would have been prudent II
he had given little variety to his programme by en-
listing an able editor or two in such way as 20
make them the hearty defenders OF his good acts
and the shrewd apolOgists or his inevitable
blunders'
That is to say, if it is to the immediate in
terest of Grant to secure the silence of the
press by bribing editors, is he not fool
unless he does it? The serene unconscious
ness of any distinction between right and
wrong which such q declaration as this i'm
plies is of q piece, to be sure, with the con
duct for which it is put forward as an excuse,
but it is nevertheless shameful for any Anne
rican journalist to feel and disgracefal foi
him to avow. 80,
