Tenure of Office.

m eS change says:
refusal of the Senate to repeaI
la ct cannot but be regarded bv
0F "a raj Grant as an indignIty.a mark
lstrpst, and a usurpation Of DOW
that properly belong 10 the Presi-
- MT. Congress would never have
imposed such restriction upon Presi-
dent Lincoln They were put upon
PRESIDENT johnson only because Con
gress regarded him as a renegade
The refusal to repeal is a mode of
saying 10 Grant that ne is less worthy
Ot confidence than Lincoln, and that
ne deserves to be classed in the same
category with Johnson. If he is a
man of spirit. he must resent such an
ahront. He would be justified in re-
fusInS the empty shell of an Office
and decline to be inaugurated. His
present office is a much better "a
thar the Presidency, unless the latter
affords him opportunities of useful
ness; and his resignation Would be a
finishing stroke To the Republican
party. But we do not suppose that
he IS a man of such a magnanimous
spirit as to spurn an Office nominally
great but shorn of its powers.

HARPER's WEEKLY, one of the
meanest OF Radical sheets, says:
Zone wonders that the South does
not rebel anew, when one considers
the miserable vermin who have been
sent down there as government Off
Gals"
The infamy of the condition of
things at the South and the dirty YER
min of carpet-baggers ruling matters
there, is compelling such black organs
as HdrpeT'S Weekly to cry out.

- GEN. GRANT has received an OFF,
clai report from General Sibley, in
regard to the negro troubles on the
Ogeechee, Ga. General SibIey states
> that the negroes who were reported
so defiant were almost frightened to
death ct the preparations of the citi-
zens. Three-guns and a bayonet on a
stick were all the arms found on them
by General Sibley, and they appeared
to be very glad TO have the protection
Of the military, being afraid other
wise to surrender themselves to the
civil authorities. The people in Sa-
vannah were organizing. and some OF
them appeared rather anxious for a
hght.

Low AND DEATH IN ALBANIA we'll
known young widow was found at the cemc-
terry in the west bounds of Albany. Her
husband recently died and so deeply had
she mourned bis loss that her friends began
to feel that her mind was dsordered. About
l o'clock on Tuesday night she was missed
from her home Her friends, thinking she
had gone TO The cemetery, pursued their
way thither, and strange to say tney found
the unfortunate woman prostrate upon the
grave of her husband, praying AMI crying
and almost persisted from cold She resist
ed oil efforts to remove her by persuasion,
and il was only by force that she was CON-
PEELED to relinquisb ber position at the
grave of her departed husband and protec-
tor. Her attachment was apparently
stronger in death than in life, for ber poor
mind h ad become disordered, almost hope
