WHAT DOES lie MEAN

1t is reported that General Grant, at
dinner OF Sunday, said:
"I.et reconstruction alone--tlcse mi.
nor pcrplcxitics will soon bc swallowed
up by greater events growing out Of the
recognition OF Cuba aud contest over
The Alabama claims"
Docs this foresladow war with Great
Britain and Spain? We know that the

,l,orizing the President to recognize Cuba
Whenever, III bis opinion. "a republican
form ofgovelnueat shall have been es-
tuLlishcd. The telegraph says that this
resolution passed unanimously. There is
a spcck Of war here. Then the Ala

lived, and our relations with Great Brit.
nin arc consequently not as pleasant MS
they might be. Another significant step

WHAT NEXT.l

The Constitution Of Indiana requires
thrcc.fifths Of the Legislature to constl-
TUE quorum. The Democratic mem

tuse Of this clause resign. and thus force
the Governor:to order an election, The
question as TO the ratification Of the Fiji
teenth Article amending the Constitution,
is thus brought before the people. They
Of course will return the members who
resigned by overwhelming majorities,
Congress don't like the aspect Of things.
Senator Morton gets up and offers reso.
luton which in substance is to amend
the Constitution Of the State Of Indiana,
and allow u minority Of the present leg

GRANT AND TIE MILITARY,

General Grant secs no justice in dis.
charging military officers after they have
given the best part Of their lives to the
service. Grant naturally sympatii.es

eprosED TO CONSUMPTION.

In dcspo'icul Spain, country which
has been dc'po,ism for eighteen ccniu-
RIGS, which has never known the advan-
tagcs Of free institutions, there is opposi-
ton. Of formidable character. to the
CONSUMPTION. 1t is resisted by armed
force, in many parts Of the Peninsula.
and in so determined manner that on.
Of the Ministers advises that the exocu.
ton Of tue law be not enforced. The
people there, in this so-callcd priest.rid.
den and monarch governed country. can
not conceive what right the Government
has to dispose, as it plcases, Of The lives
and liberties Of its subjects.
1t should take lessons from republican
America, where all acqnitscc in the draw
ings Of the conscript wheel, rs il it were
the stroke Of dcstiny. The draft my
fall like cold aud lealon weight upon
the hearts Of the masses they may be
appalled, at its terrible sacriiice-but,
either from their non.rcsistant qualities
or from the greater philosophy Of our
people, will, without a word, consent to
be food for cannon-to be moved down.
in accordance with the wishes Of their
rulers, like grass in the Geld. We may
say what We please Of Spain or any other
country, there is nothing on the earth so
quicscent, under political oppression, as
! the United States.

CONFIDENCE.

1t is enough to make a Stole weep to
see the extremity to which our radical CO.
temporarics nrc reduced in their efforts to
applaud and approve of what their new
President ha, done, The Inaugural was
a sumner, but the Cabinet has fairly set
them to wringing their hands in agony.
They had laid b; great store Of super
!atives and hypcrbol.s with which topro-
claim to the world the greatness aaa the
wisdom oflheir oracle Of t;alena, aud be-
hold. his utteranccs arc twaddle and his
Cabinc. an abortion. The mountain has
been in labor, and the product is the most
ininitesiMa[ specimen Of governmental
furniture ever presented to an astonisllcd
world. Take away the old money bag,
Stewart, aud the Boston lawyer, and the
product i, compound Of otscuri'y, dem-
agosucism and t"y,hy-the latter rather
an obsolete virtue, one would think, since
the close Of tic wx.
Our object is to offer our coincidence to
our radical contemporaries in their be-
reavcmeut, for their disappointment must
be almost too heavy for them to bear. II
many Of them do not throw down their
peus in di'gnst an despair, VIC shall be
disappointed. We would Lot have it III
cumbent upon US touphold and applaud
Grant and his managery, for any half.
dozen Of the best offices in his gift. From
this time hcnccforlh VIC are MI enemy 10
silence. Old Tom Carlyle erected it into
a sort Of virtue. aud the radicals laid
great stress upon ,hi. Carly'ian merit;
but they have discovered that u.an may
be as dumb ms an oyster, and yet pro-
found ass at the sa,nc time. Silence is
no longer even presumpfivc evidence Of
wisdom, sense, judgment or discretion
We predict that no dumb candidate will
ever have the support Of any party in
this country again. Wemuch prefer one
rs lcquacious as a''aw, to running the
chances Of a silent man again. Sidney
Smith hooted at silence as any evidence
o: depth, and told some amusing anec,
dotes Of the mistakes which had opened
his eyes on the subject; but Sidney WAS
a sort Of clerical wag, aud we were
rather disposed to put some faith in the
solemn old Scotcl,mnn's Interpretation.
But neither the Widest jest nor The mad
dcst joke ever told by Sidney, Ella, Tom
Hood Of Matthews, the player. ever
eq"aled the ludicrous reality as displayed
by Grant, the dumb.

KICKING OVER THE PLATFORM.


The Chicago Platform. upon which
General Grant was elected, declared that
''to the loyal States properly belonged
the righ, Of regulating the suffrage Of
their ci,izcus." The Fifteenth Cons,itu.
.ionnl Amendment. cnioins that they shall
not have that right, but that, whether
byal or not, the negro shall be forced up
on them as citizen. General Grant. the
nominee Of the Chicago Convention, who
accepted its platform, very coolly Kicks
the latter over, and insists that the Fiji.
tccn,h Amendment shall he adopted.
1t may be supposed that he was elected
BY the people under the Impression that
he -ould rry out the platform Of the
Convention, whose nomination lie except
ed, but he has not done II in any particu-
lar. lie has easily kicked over the plat
form into the radical slough below.
There have been many who have be-
licvcd General Grant 10 be truthful.

they reconcile lis rrescnt conduct with
The possession Of those qualities? Is not
