GRANT.

Gen. GRANT continues to promise
fairly as to rstrenchment and honest adj
ministration Of the Government. Upon
that subject he has given assurances
enough, interpreted by his past conduct,
20 safety the most skepticai. But he
has not said q word upon which we o.
the South can hinge even q guess as to
his intention with regard TO the States
not yet reconstructed, or whether be VIII
favor the Last gross usurpation Of Congress,
knegn as the fifteenth Constitutional
Amendment. All this, which Is TO give
color to his administration, be reserves
for his inaugural message, or leaves to
be guessed ct from the composition OF his
cabinet. This we gather from the Wash
ingtOn gossip, and the matter that has
found lis way into our columns, verified
IS coming from him direct. The lesding
Radical organs, however, speak with as
surance Of his settled purpose to be guided
las we have already -annouaced in the
APPEAL, by the Chicago platform, and
70 look to the most extreme Radicals Of
~thecountry for advice and counsel. The
New York Tribune, the present cOndue-
tors Of which are known to have access
to General GRANT, speaks thus suth0ri
tatively IS to his future; and DANA,
who is n intimate personal friend Of
his, IN the New York Sun Of the I21h,
asserts that IL the President elect has
displayed any leaning either to the
Conservative or Radical Republicans It
Is toward the latter. He ssys that
under no circumstances Will GRANT be
induced to call even war Democrats to
his service or do anything that would
bring about an open rupture between
him and Congress. AS We proved, In
answer TO the letters Of "H. P. A.
lsst week, GRANTS viii be a Thoroughly
Republican administration. Every day
events sustain us, ana warn the people
OF the South to be prepared for IL. We
do not know, nor do we say that Gen.
GRANT will be q mere tool for the en- |
actment Of Radical vindictiveness lend
ing himself to such littlenes5ss, oppres-
sions and snnoysness toward the South, |
As some OF his party delight in but we
do feel warranted Ia the opinions We
have expressed as to hls steady, unbend-
Ing loyalty to the general lire Of policy
Of which the Chicago platform is the best
and p~lsiDest expression.

THE NEW ADMINISTRATION.

Editors Memphis Appeal:
One of the encouraging indications Of
q coming reformation In political NOR
alsty, is the increasing li~oerality of the
psrr;zsD press in q fair discussion Of the
merits of " men and measures " in which
the ru5Iic ere interested. As a striking
illustration Of this saiutsTy reform, 1t
affords me pleasure to acknowledge your
courtesy in giving me, in the most libe-
raj manner, the benefit Of your columns
to lay before your readers my reasons
for the faith that Is in me.h
In this free Republic Of oura. The head
of the Government is not shielded by
the legal fiction that the King can do
no wroRg." When General Grant
enters upon the discharge of his
duties es Chief Magistrate, he will
realize the solemn fact, that he is respon-
sible to the people, not only for his own
ACTS. but for the acts of his ministers.
In the subordinate positions in which
Gen. Grant has hitherto acted, he may
sesm so have approved measures for
which others were Responsible. How
sver this may De, 1t cannot be fairly as
sumed that he will commit similar
wrongs himself, when he assumes the
sole power and responsibility Of the adj
ministratiOn OF the Government.
IF we permit mistakes, errors, bad
management and temporary failures to
destroy our faith in ultimate success, We
will never accomplish anything OF inn
n~ortsuce. Our fathers laid the lounGs-
ton Cf a Republic; the superstTuc-
ture has been reared, thus far, through
many difficulties, mistakes, errors, IN
wise, and sometimes criminal acts have
besn committed, but stiii the work is
progressing, but is not yet completed,
II We should keep constantly before our
eyes all the difficulties re have sEcoun-
tered, ne might despair OF success. But
if we will contemplate the extent and
character OF the vast territory we pos
sess, the number, intelligence and en-
ergy Of our people, the ipnlence OF civil
fz3tion and Christianity, and the amazing
progrsEs we have made, We have a right
70 hone that the spirit VI the people will
overcome future obstacles as they have
those they have alresdy surrounded.
10 nave faith and SHOW IL by Our
works.
You have given q good argument In
support Of my position in your gratifying
OF the present tiattsring prospects
# the Memphis and Little R,ck Rail
ROAD, which VS. may now hope will BE-
completed in q few months. If ali the
mistakes that have been made in the
administration of the affairs Of that com
Dany, were brought to view, you might
make q much stronger case against the
probability OF it's early completion, Than
Be made against the probability Of a
administration OF the Govern
ment by the new President. Let US have

Gen. Grants speech, IN connection

His declaration that he viii not make

5th prOximo, ia accepted by the Radical
Senators as fair notice that be will listen
to no advice on the subject-a notice
that Is not even received with concealed
regret by prominent members OF the
party, but with openiy-expressed dissst-
isfaetion, in that thecOur5e he iDtendsTo
pursus is contrary to that pursued by
Lincoln and previous Presidents, ard be-
trays at once a reflection on the Senate
for It's virtual refusal to repeal the civil
tsn~ure-of-otiics act.

The Crop Prospects.

The Greenville UaiOn says: There
have been several severe frotss, and it is
feared by many that the peach crop is
seriously damaged, not only by them, but
also by species of larrG of green color,
which infests the blossom. The cherries
We think are partially killed. Wheat has
not suffered, and we have promise of as
good a crop as was ever harvested in the
county. A very large area of land was
sown, and good yield will do not a
little toward improving our disordered
finances"
We have about come to the conclusion,
saws the Lebanon Herald, that peaches will
grow on icebergs, or at the North Pole.
Notwithstanding the heavy frost last week
when everybody thought there was no
frui. LELAND two or three freezes this
week, we learn that there viii be consider
able fruit yet. The wheat crop is not
damaged, but looks as we'll as it ever did.
Says the Lincoln county News; SERIOUS
approximations were entertained for safety
of the wheat, in this section, during the
recent cold spell of weather. But some of
our farmers inform Us that the only wheat
that has sustained any damage at all. is
the very early. Peaches are said to bsall
destroyed. Apples injured"
