Grants Policy.

General Grant has announced
his policy. He will call around him
men who will earnestly carry out
the principles of economy, retrench-
ment and honesty, which were
desired by the people of the coun-
try. The revenue laws are to be
faithfully executed, and dishonest
or incapable officials, no matter by
whom appointed, are to be dismiss
ed in short order. To all of this
the country will heartily say,
Amen.
With such policy, honestly
carried out, as no one who has
studied Grants course doubts it
will be, he will rally to his support
the mass of the Republican party
and large proportion of the Dem
ocrats, let the politicians do Or say
what they choose. When Mr..
Pruyn, on the part of the Democ-
racy, assured General Grant that
his party, though differing from him
politically. would heartily cooper
ate with him in carrying out the
promised policy, his promise may
have meant no more than mere
courtesy, but it will be fulfilled in
all earnestness by a considerable
proportion of his party.
1t now rests with Congress to sc
arrange the financial, commercial
| and departmental affairs of the ma
ton as to give the new Administra
ton every facility in carrying ou
the proposed programme. Th'
financial affairs of the countr,
should be put on stable basis, ant
not be subject to continual change
and notifications. The interna
revenue and tariff laws and regula
tions should be simplified as mucl
as possible, the opportunities ant
temptations to fraud on the par
of the tax-paying public or tn
officers reduced to minimum, AM
no obstacles placed in the way of
prompt removal and punishment o
dishonest officials. Congress ha
no light work before it, and NJ
time should be wasted in gettin;
at it.-C Herald.

The motion was agreed to.
of a Reconstructed Rebel
Officer.

The Washington correspondent
of the Troy Times gives the sub
Joined account of an inter .iew with
an officer in the confederate army,
Gen. Longstreet. we suppose, being
the officer alluded to:
Walking down Pennsylvania av-
enue to-day, on my usual trip to the
Capitol, 1 fell in with an ex Con
federate officer, who carved his
name high on a hundred battle
fields OF treason, but who, since the
unboly war ceased, has renounced
the errors of his way in the same
full manly spirit with which he
fought, and has accepted the DEGREES
of fate and of Congress with a
hearty and yet dignifed submis-
sion. He was exceedingly cordial
and communicative, full of hope for
the future. and glowingly sanguine
that the South, purified from the
blight of human slavery and recog-
nizing the equal rights of all men,
would grow, and flourish, and
blossom all over, like unto a second
land ofpromise.
General" said I, "what more
peril have these obstructionists at
the South undergone, what more
suffering have they endured, what
more bravery have they shown, that
they should revile you for the frank
renewal of your loyalty to the Gov
ernment ?"
'None," he exclaimed.
"Then why not follow your ex-
ample" ! inquired, "and give US
the fruits for which we fought ?"
"Simply,' said he, "because you
of the North-I rather mean your
Administrations wrong start
when the war ended. IF vigorous
means of reconstruction had been
put in force when the Confederate
armies surrendered, there would be

Making an Apology.

The apology was cool, but it
certainly should have been satisfac-
tory.
Bill R is known all over, and
Bill was at the ball in all his glory.
All his necessaries for pleasure
were on hand-good music, pretty
girls, and excellent whiskey. The
evening passed off rapidly, as it
alwass does, and Bill had, at about
one o'clock, became pretty happy.
Stepping up to young lady, he
requested the pleasure of dancing
with her-she replied that she was
engaged.
"Well,'' said Bill, "are you en-
gagged for the next set p
She said she was.
"Can I dance with you next,
then %
Il am engaged for that Also"
"Can dance with you tonight ?"
'No,' with some hesitancy.
"Go to Bostonp' said Bill, highly
indignant, and turned on his heel.
After a few moments Bill was
accosted by brother of the young
lady, who charged him with insult
ing his sister.
Bill denies; but processes himself
willing to apologize if he has done
wrong, and accordingly steps up to
the young lady, when the following
conversation ensued:
'sMiss l., understand I have
insulted you?"
You have, sirr'
'What did 1 say, Miss L-?"
"You told me to go to Boston"
"Well," said Bill, II have come
to tell you that you needn't CO."

National Recognition of the SUI
preme Being.


In presenting to the United States
Senate, on the 8th. the petition of
over seven hundred citizens of the
State of Ohio, residing at Utica and
Oxford. praying for an amendment
of the Constitution acknowledging
Almighty God as the source of all
power and authority in civil gov
ernment, Mr.. Sherman said:
These are only a portion of a
great many similar petitions that I
have presented from my constitu-
ents. 1t is evident from these pc
titlons that they come from a COM
mon movement of the religious
people of this country, looking to
some recognition in the Constitution
of Supreme Being. 1t has al
ways seemed to me, iE viewing the
recent events, and the wonderful
providences, may say, that have
transpired in the history Of our
country in the last few year, that it
would be well, now that we are
amending the Constitution and re
cognizing the logical consequences
of those events, for us to place in
that instrument some recognition
Of the Providence of Almighty
God, and a recognition of the
further fact that this nation and its
institutions have been built upon
Christian civilization. 1t seems to
me, therefore, the movement OF
these religious people might now
well be considered by the Commit
tee on the Judiciary. 1t is rather
remarkable that the Constitution of
the United States contains no such
reference, when all the documents
framed by the men who formed the
Constitution, including the Declara-
ton Of Independence and all the
documents of that period, had such
recognition in various forms. l
can see, myself, no reason why the
proposal amendment should not be
placed in our fundamental law. I
move the reference of this petition
to the Committee on the Judi
ciary.

Rum Selling Brings Sorrows.

A tavern keeper in Rensselaer,
county had abandoned the traffic in
alcohol after having been several
years engaged in it. Whenever the
subject of his selling liquor was re-
ferred to, he was observed to feel
deep regret and sorrow. A friend
one day inquired the cause. 81 will
tell you," said he. and opening his
account book, he said: "Here are
forty four names of men who have
all been my customers, most of them
for years. Thirty-two of them, to
my certain knowledge, now lie in
the drunkard's gave; ten of the
remaining twelve, are now living,
confirmed sots. These are the
fruits of this degrading business"

no ODSLruCIlOnlSCS now. lC was the
dallying policy of Andrew johnson,
tolerated too long by your people,
that fed the spirit Of the South with
false hopes of recovering the SUI
premacy they had lost, and while
these false hopes prevailed, it re-
quired no small amount of moral
courage to take the stand that 1
did: Up to the third of last No
vember this same delusion existed,
and had Seymour and Blair been
elected, good by to peace and re-
construction at the South.'
"But Grant will set all things right,
down there" observed.
EYES," he responded. "The en-
tire sensible mass of the Southern
people secretly rejoice at Grants
election. I myself am growing in
favor with them every day, which
is an excellent sign; and but for
the internal tyranny of politicians,
who will hold on as long as breath
of popularity remains to the most
fossilized or exploded political the
ories, my ranks would be more
largely recruited"
General, I presume you have
seen Grant since you arrived in
Washington % I asked.
ooh, yes" he answered, with
smile of pleasant recollection; 1--WE
dined together. We talked over
our battles, and had very agreea-
BILE evening"
"What opinion did you form Of
Grant p I modestly inquired.
Every favorable, indeed" he re-
turned, "Grant, to my mind, is the
beau ideal o. a soldiers companion.
To explain this to you, might lay
it down as a rule that a soldier de-
tests long sentences of rhetoric
he prefers short, nimhle mode of
expression, and likes a man of
, general information who is not a
bore. Grant has not read very ex-
tensively, but it is amazing how
+ clear and precise he is on every
, subject. His mind would appear to
, flash across question like light
ming over the wire, and then, after
a brief pause. he gives you his opin-
ion in the simplest words, but in the
: tersest form. 1t is all mistake
about his reticence. In public he
) is a taciturn, but meet him, as I did,
f in social CONVEX sation, and under
} the congenial cloud ofa cigar, and
| no man living can be more enter
tanning than Grant; at least to my
, mind he appeared so, and had no
/ favors to ask Grant thinks deeply,
but talks little on what he meditates
most. You will find him develop
, his policy-and be assured it will be
+ grand one-in detail, as general
develops his plan of battle. Under
his administration this country will
take a bound forward and achieve 8
degree of prosperity beyond our
, most sanguine expectations.
, II begin to think, General" said
I, as we were drawing near the
D Capitol gates, ''that you and Gen.
! Grant must have been talking over
!. your old campaigns IN Mexico, and
= looking into the horoscope of that
+ country's destiny
. "Well, I confess he replied,
sswe did talk little about Monterey
and Chapultepec, but can't posi-
= lively say if he looked into the
, horoscope, though I know did
, 1t has been an old dream of mine
!. that Mexico is bound to be ours
