LAppointment of aeneraI Lopgatraet

1t is sincerely to be hoped that the Repub-
hcan press of the country will cordially sus-
train the action of the President in appoint
ing General James Longstreet surveyor of
the port of New Orleans. At first thought
it would seem abhorent that rebel general,
with the zeal of Longstreet, 8 .ould ever be
admitted to Office under The government
But there are many important circumstances
that go far to modify the Jres snt case. GEN
eral Longstreet was one Cf th3 most brilliant
leaders of the confederate army: Again and
again the caps of the Union soldiers were
thrown up in huzzahs Of admiration at the
intrepid conduct of his corps under fire.
With his men falling in scores around him,
again and again his command would reform
under the severest fire, and return to the
charge as systematically as though maneu-
vering on a drill ground. But from the day
the oonfederacy laid down its arms, General
Longstreet has given his entire Influence to.
ward restoring the south to its old place in
the Union. He has urged that there loas no
further hope in fighting, and that the honor
of the South required that she should adhere
faithfully to the terms of her surrender He
has urged the young men of the south to de-
vote themselves to business, to accept the
fact of slavery being forever dead, and TO
give their united efforts to her restoration.
He has Opposed the riots and turmoils
against the negroes, and has thereby drawn
upon himself the suspicion and hatred of his
countrymen. His appointment will teach
the sOutherners that if they are henceforth
loyal and true to the government their sins
will be forgiven them. He will be a safe aud
competent officer and exert wide influence
for good. We believe that in this step Geo.
Grant will be sustained by the Judgment Of
the country Cleveland Leader.
