THE readers of newspapers are aware
that Grant has been the recipient of many
presents, but the great majority of them
have, perhaps, no definite idea of the
money value of these presents. The
National HateItigcncer says, leaving out
any mention of the items, rs only calcu-
lated to consume time and confuse the
Judgment, we may say that the money
value Of the various presents, accepted and
pOcketed by General Grant at the outset
of his administration as a sort of prepare
tory exercise, we suppose, foran immacu-
late career, amounted TO a sum ranging
800, 900 to 5000, 900, and nearer, we be
lieve, to the latter than the former figure.
Our honest belief is that, somehow or
other, Gen Grant is to-day at least $780,
600 better off than he was six years ago,
and that his proper salary in that time
would not equal 100000, out of which
would come, of course, his family ex-
penses. The mysteries of all this we do
not affect to guess at; the known presents
are what we mean to mention just now,
amounting, as above stated, to much over
800, 900.

THE Democrats Of New York have
elected a strong working majority in both
branches Of their Legislature for the first
time in fifteen years. The Republicans,
during their long ascendancy, have en-
acted multitude Of unjust and odious
laws, intended to strengthen their party
and cripple Their opponents. These me-
quail laws will, of course, be repealed. ii
is reported that the new constitution and
the proposition TO confer suffrage upon
negroes, have been defeated. This result
shows that in ratifying the proposed if
teenth amendment, the Radical Legislature
of New York grossly misrepresentcd the
people of that State. That act should be
undone by the newly elected Legislature.
