We judged Grant rightly. He ha!
appointed J. .othrop Motley Minister II
tho Court OF st. James rice Reverdy
johnson. The Senate will, We make n.
doubt, confirm him and when they d.
so they will illustrate hcw soon a mar
IA political life may ruin himself anG
disgust all his friends. Reverdy John
500 was confirmed Minister TO England
BY a unanimous vote of the Senate
Perhaps some of his peers voted for him
out of courtesy, be being Senator,
but whether or no, be got every vote.
Now, it is probable, he will be asked by
.ae voice of every Republican, at least,
10 make way for a filter man. Fortu-
nately for the honor of the country, Mr..
Motley is a sober, temperate man, a
gentleman, indeed, whose large fortune
has enabled him to mix much in polite
society abroad, whose profound studies
aad rare intellect, combined with a
most attractive presence eminently fit
him for the post to which he has been
assigned. He can neither be dazzled
with tinsel or dumbfoppded with the
h-ass music, red paint and gliding of
Courts;-and be knows turnkey from
gentleman which Is 4 good deal for
a novice to know. Unlike the cold and
formal Adams (whose ability none may
underrate) he is a hearty and conscien-
tious democrat; loving bis county, and
proud of his country-which we do not
believe Adams exactly 10. These men
wbo are arden,lv in accord with the
institutions and spirit of the United
States are the sort we need to fill our
European Missions. While we rejoice
that Motley is going TO England, We are
glad that good, old, pompous, Sir
Magnificent PuffbalI Dix is to be sue
ceeded by plain, blue-bellied, Yankee
Washburne. There will be fewer din
aers, fewer French airs, fewer daudies
and squirts about the Ministerial
headquarters, but much more for
Mr.. Louis Napoleon to respect,
and much more for self respecting
Americans to be proud Of. For Gods
sake let us dance and pretend to COZ
noisieurship ia wines and iiqu.rs when
we have leisure for the amusesnent /;
don't let's 60 to making Puritanism a
distasteful and stubborn thing but
st us, who sing ".0ld John Brown"
Gotlet the gallants Of Europe laugh Us
cut of our Yankee birth and associa
.ions not give them cause to despise
g for being weak and awkward imita
tors Of their manners, their follies and
taeir accomplishments. Seward has
come near spelling our entire civil
service abroad with bis anti homespun
department. 1t is sad thing to see
Conntryman SO green that he does
not dare to stare at the shop signs
aud windows of Broadway. He is q
Zap more verdant than his cousin who
.as come to town to learn and not to
pretend to know everything. So with
that which should be carried abroad
sad represented abroad by our Minis
;ers and Secretaries and Consuls. They
should be made Of the sort of stuff
which makes up the glory and courage
D: the American name the honest,
.ober pluck which swears by the stars
and stripes; the growth, the proper,
healthy, comely growth Of the soil of
ne great Republic Americans. We
believe that Grant, above any man who
as ever filled the Office of President,
ieels the need of this /; and his appoint
,ents of Washburne and Motley attest
