The Washington correspondent Of the Balti-
more Gazette, in speaking Of the views and
policy OF President Grant, says:
He means to out-Hcrod Herod in all that
pertains to the torture OF tho South--he means
to go the length OF Sumner in ncgroism-but
he designs at the same time to monopolize the
patronage Of the government His lmbeclle
Cabiuet is universally mathematical by the
Radicals; but they are held in check b: his
monstrous strides in the direction or military
despotlsm over the whole country, and espe-
clally in the direction Of an absolute subjuga-
tion Of the Southern States.
The new Executive thought proper to go out
side OF his constitutional duty in recommend

Fifteenth amendment. WHAT had he to do
with that business Why lug in it, except to
assure the fanatics Of the North in advance OF
bis extreme radical sentiments In almost
the very words Of the letter from this city,
which you published on the m,rniug of the
4th instant, he gave assurance in his lnnugu-
raj of "protection" to the carpat-baggers, and
the supremacy of the Radicals aud negroes OF

REYNOLDS to his in Texas.
But the extremist policy in this respect is all
that NAV be expected by the Radical mag

received this distinction for personal fuvors

friend, Geueral Sherman.

to breck up prematurely the anicable rcla-

to prevent the repeal of the Tenure-of-ofice act.

The politicians have been greatly disturbed
