If Gen. Grant knew nothing abou.

he has by this time learned something
in reference to repeating acts of Con-
gress and the granting and revoking
of pardons President Johnson, just
previous 10 leaving the Executive
Office, issued several pardons to parties
in the New York and Boston peniten-
tiaries, The General, as soon as he
came into office-for the purpose of
manifesting his personal spite against
President johnson - revoked these
pardons, by telegraph, express and
runners. These orders produced a
yelp from every "loil" whclp in the
country. But the last report is, that
his new Attorney General (Hoar) has
decided that President Johnson's par
dons were valid, and that the "great-
est captain of the age" has been com
PEELED TO telegraph again-exposing
his ignorance-and liberate the par

The Lancaster Inteiligencer says /:
"Grant offered TO sell the house which
had been given TO him as a Washing
ton residence for 100000 Thercupon
A. Il. Stewart stepped in and said the
price was too low, being only about
what he paid for it four years ago. So
he put his hand in his pocket and pre-
sented Grant with check for s65, 900,
and requested that the mansion be
transferred over TO General Sherman.
1t was done Then Grant and Sher-
man got together and determined to
pay Stewart for his munifcent charity
by making him Secretary of the Treas
ury. That is how the slate came TO
be changed at the last moment, TO the
disgust of the Radical politicians.

President johnson, who would not
