We are unable TO see how refusal to vote ioi
the repeal Of the Tenure OF 0fice bill can he re-
raried as opposition to Gen. Grant. The char
acter Of the gentlemen voting on the respective
sides Of the question certainly does not warrant
any such inference Opposition to Gen. Grant
from Republicans has been expected only from
the extreme Radicals. Now an examination oil
the vote on the repeal shows that the mslorlty
was composed Of the more Radical Republicans,
including those from the Southern States, and
the Democrats. The minority on the other
hand contained large proportion Of Conserva-
tives Moreover, It must be remembered that
the views of Gen Grant upon the Tenure Of OF
nee bill were not definitely understood. The
current reports that he favored its appeal may
have been true, but thcy were not positively
known to be.
What the action OF the Senate will be, remains
to be seen Doubtless the act mas been in many
respects a failure. Behind it the President has
screened himself from the responsibility for cor
rupt officials the impeachment trial showed
its inability to a certain extent to protect good
ones. The proceedings III that case showed
great disagreement among Republicans them
selves as to the spirit and intent Of the act. 1t
is also true that the EouS5!xs which gave rise to
the measure viii pass away with the retirement
Of President johnson. Yet, after all, the act
embodied, as it seems to US, wholesome princi-
pie; and till it is shown that it Is likely to en-
barrass an honest and faithful magistrate. we
shall not desire to see il wholly done away,
though It may he best to amend it, in some res
poets.
1t will be noticed that Judge Poland OF tins
State voted against the repeal in the House and
Washington despatch says that Senstor I'd
munds will oppose the repeal in the Senate,
which, as Mr. Edmunds was the Ieputed author
Of the bill, and one Of It's most earnest defenders
at the time Of its passage, is not improbable.

As Vernon; is the greatest stock raising State

forty thousand head were grazing ON the sdia-

from the time they leave their native plains Is
enormous. an though they arr bought very
low, it frequently happens that the droyer suf

Tse cable reports cf the proceeding, q THIS
body are meagre aud unsatisfactory, but they
arc full enough to confirm our opinion that the
QUESTION Of peace between Turkey and Greece Is
60 be decided only by the original parties to tie
controversy. The Conference appesrs to have
settled nothing at all. II expressed the hope
that peace might he preserved, but that Il oil no
importance. Al nations pretend to deprecate
var. and there was no need Of solemn Assembly
Of the European States to prcmulga'e sueh
doctrine The Universal Peace Society has done
a. much as that good many times, ana with a
great deal less Formally. War between Greece
and Turkey Is certainly TO be regretted but how
can it lie avertcd, That question the Confer
/ encc oonspicuously fails 70 answer.
Tire cable ssvs that the Conference viii ask
the Greeks to refrain from assisting the Cretans,
and premises that Turkey viii thereupOn with
draw her ultimatum. Inasmuch as the conduct
of the Grccan authorities in the Cretan difficulty
is the substance Of the Turkish ultimatum, il is
quite likely that as soon az that conduct ceases
the ultmatum will be Withdrawn. The Sublime
Porte could ask no more The statements that
the Turkish Minister has agreed TO the main
points Of the declaration Of the Conference, Is
delicious piece Of irony. 1t is not improbable
that he has consented to have the action Of his
government substantially endorsed by Confer
ence Of European powers.
In fact, the action Of the Conference in ad-
hitting Turkey to it, deliberations to the e1clu-
sion Of Glsece, fully fcreshadoved the decision
Of that body. We say the exclusion Of Greece,
for the conditions on which she was 70 be ad-
mitted amounted to d practical exclusion. If the
cable reported the facts correctly, the Greciau
minister was to BE- allowed a seat and to partake
in the discussions without having any voice in
it, judgements. The delegate from Turkey was
Oh an equal footing with the others. So far as
We can understand the case, the conditions in
posed upon the Greek minister were such a
spirited nation could not accept. We are not
surprised that the Greek Government has taken
no part in the Conference, nor Of the reports that
she rejects the decision OF that body. If the
statements be true, that the decision Of the Con-
ference pa- unanimous, We 10 not see how Rus
sis can longer assist Greece unless the latter
complies with the terms Of that decision. With
out the help Of this powerful ally, struggle Of
Greece sgaiust Turkey cannot be very long
The prospect Of fighting Turkey singiehsnded and
against the unanimous sentiment Of Europe
may serve 10 moderate the ardor OF Greece, but
the Warlike reports from the East DO not indi-
cate such result The detsil, OF the Confer
ence are nnKiously awaited
