At the present moment the number of Gen.
Grants friends is unlimited, and the num-
Der of persons who are readyand willing to
take. him to their bosoms, for consider
alton, is astonishing. The political plums
are fast being distributed to the personal
friends of the new president, and lucky are
those who, taking time by the forelock,
early ingratiated themselves into his favor.
Greatly to the chagrin of the radicals in
general, they could not forsee the freaks
which fortune was to play with the destiny
of Galena tanner, and unwittingly they
bowed down before strange gods, and neg

Brown. General Grant is not in want of a
house at present. it is true; neither is he in
need of some recommendation in order to
obtain the command of regiment. But
there are more ways than one to gain an
object, and generosity towards those who
rule is often winning card. Generosity
towards the reigning prince has thus far
been well rewarded and there are
excellent offices still in reserve for the for

Cougres,men and The OIIlce.Seekers.


A Washington correspondent of the New
York Times, after referring to the pressure
of office-seekers in different directions, has
the following as to the tribulations OF con-
,gressmen: IA M M e
a The class to be conmiserated most Of all
by uninteresteA lockers on, are the senators
and representatives. There is not con-
gressional district in the United States rep
resented in congress. which has not its four
or five delegations in this city at the pres
ent time. There are at least ten applicants
for every prominent position under the gov
ernment, and in many case the number is
increased to score. They are, of course,
the leading men at home, but here, where
generals, governors, and judges are almost
as thick as summer flies, their local impor-
tance does not count for much, and they
are hustled and jostled and looked upon as
mere ciphers. Congressman are run to
death by this class Unlike cabinet Off
GERS, they cannot lay down rules when they
can or cannot be visited. Their tenure Of
Office is too frail to treat with anything like
uuceTemoniousness these gentlemen who
are supposed to control their districts. AS
a general thing, therefore, the rooms of
these honorable gentlemen who compose
congress, are full from morning until late
at night They are attacked on the way to
the capitol and from it. They are obliged
to discuss nominations at breakfast, and
dinner, and tea. Their Legislative labors
are interrupted by their anxious constitu-
ents, and, altogether, for them there seems
to be no rest

following interesting information:
"The secretary of war is Rawlins, with

Aside from the fact that this will afford
re&linformation to nine-tenths of our read
ers, it will be curious bit of history to re-
member that General Grant made up his
cabinet from men so obscure that it was
nearly n month before the proper spelling
of their names was positively decided.

THE RECALLED PARDoNs. Data, of the
Baltimore Sun, communicates information
concerning the recalled pardons that COM
ports with legal views on all hands. We
quote:
1t will be recollected that President
Grant, Immediately upon his taking office
as President, directed that certain pardons
issued by President Johnson should be re-
voked, or withheld from the persons in
tendedito be pardoned, in certai a cases in
New York, Massachusetts,, and elsewhere.
Atty Gen. Hoar has had this subject under
consideration, and it is understood he de-
cides that the revocation of the President
will not stand in law, that the act of the
Executive was completed when the warrant
of pardon was placed in the hands of the
United States Marshal OF other officer,
and that if the persons in
tended to be pardoned shall not be releas-
ed, that upon habeas corpus, the courts
would release them.

The First Act SIGNED Inv Grnnf.

One of the leading republican organs OF
this state says:
1t is an auspicious circumstance that the
first actapproved by President Grant is that
to strengthen the public credit by pledging
the faith of the nation to the payment in
coin of the interest on its obligations unless
otherwise stipulated. 1t will do
much toward appreciating our bonds in
Europe and fastening the time when gold
and government paper will bear the same
value.
Congress first enacted law which de-
clared that paper should be made legal ten
der for all debts, public and private, except
in certain cases where the government had
specifically pledged the payment of coin
under this act thousands of individuals
were compelled to receive paper even in
cases where the payment of coin had been
stipulated. Congress now enacts law,
which, as to bond-holders obhgating in all
cases where paper was not stipulated in the
contract. Is this sort OF legislation equita-
bic and justH Is it right to enforce one
construction of our laws for the masses of
the people, and another for the benefit of
bondholders in Europe
