President Grant.

1t is not often that President is as
sailed at the outset of his Anministra
ton with the vindictiveness shown by
the Democratic press to President Grant.
In all free governments the least courte
sy any party in opposition can show to
a new Administrator is patience. The
transition from one rule to anotheris awk-
ward, and often,imes attended with jars
and stumbling The men who come in
are new to their work--and TO each 9th
er. Until they gain this knowledge
matters will 60 slowly. A new govern
ment generally means a new policy, and
any new policy is to certain extent ex
perimental. There is the clamorous ap-e
pealing of men who want office. There
claims are eagerly pressed-and in
many cases their claims are just. The
old politician who wants rest, the
young politician who Graves for honors,s
the friends of Senators and Represen-'
tatives and men high in station-the
multitudinous gathering of ambitious
party men-who demand 'recoguition,'
all press upon the new President Eve
ry expectant goes to Washington with
his own ideas of his services to the par
ty. AS these ideas are only limited by
the vanity or the ambition of each par
ticular candidate, a slight knowledge of
and turbulence of the currents of office
beggars which sweep around the Presi
dent. We presume there are ten men
asking for office to one that can be ap-
pointed. The dsappointments that come
from this form a large part Of the yexa-
ton and criticism which attend the be-
ginning Of every new Administration.
There is also a peculiar trouble at
tending any new Government that be-
gins with the policy of reform. Gen.
Grant is the Psesi leat OF Refol NJ The
Republican party dwell: upon that fea
t,sre OF its platform with repeated EN-
phasis. We know how slow every re-
form must be-how patiently an Ad-
ministration must labor to accomplish
it, and how very difficult i: is to realize
the dreams OF enthusiastic and imagi-
native supporters. Andrew johnson
was bad President, and the tone of
our Government was reduced by him to 8
q lower pitch than at any former period
o. our history. 1t was bad enough un-2
der Jackson and Tyler; but with all
their faults they comm anded personal
respect. Mr.. johnson was disliked both
as q man and a President, except by
small circle of bad men. This dislike
eliminated in a yearning for Grant, so
general, 50 deep, we might almost say
SO plaintive, aud sentimental, tha, when
it was really known that he was Presi.
deaf the JOY was rapturous and exult-
ing. Men said in their gladness: Now

through your advertisement to say few words
of encouragement. One year ago was an in

avail, until about the first of September last l
became acquainted with young man wi no told
me OF Mr.. McKelvey's remedy, and the good
work it had done in the sneighborhoodr of his
former home Erie, Pa.) Immediately applied

commenced takingit. L commenced IMPROVING
in few day and continued to improve, and in
less than three months from that time was en-
tirely restored, and have remained we'll ever
since. Mine was rather an inveterate case, and

The medicine WAS 50 successful in my case, that

it's favor.
