FORNEY's Press is growing candid,
and intimates that the recent express
sions attributed to Gen. GRANT, rela-
tive to the persecution Of the Israel
ties in Russia, are quite as applica-
bic nearer home. The Press says:
1.-THE decidedly American tone Of the
Presidents reply has attracted con-
siderable comment in diplomatic cir
cles, and the opinion is generally ex-
pressed that it isa definite cOnfirma-
ton Of the assertion recently made
abroad that the present Administra-
ton intends making the influence Of
our government apparent as a media
tor in behalf Of all classes who are
suffering from the oppression of In
periaI governments Wherein the
Philadelphia Age says: eve do not
know any civilized country in which
there are so many people suffering
from the oppression Of Imperial gov
ernments, as in these United States.
In the Asiatic provinces Of Turkey,
there may be Pachas and Governors
IS absolute as VI military command
ers at the South, but in no country
that has ever known civil justice or
constitutional law is there such a state
of things existing. Here Gen. GRANT
has considerable power to abate the
evil. In Russia he can only offer di-
plomatic remonstrances, and we sin
cerely hope that they viii not be met
by reference to the celebrated order
Of Gen. Ulysses S. GRANT, eXpelling
the jews from his lines. What we
wanttO be rid of. in this country is
military usurpation, from which ev-
cry interest may, in its turn, suffer"

THE '1oyal" citizens Of East Tenn
essee have been extremely ~unfortu-
nate in suffering from the operations
OF both armies during the war. Some
Of them have actually lost consider
ably more than they ever had, which
is a dolefUl story indeed. The Union
and american accounts for the fact,
very satisfactorily, as follows:
MANY Of the counties, Out-Of-the-
way ones too, reported losses greater
than the entire taxable property of
the citizens of those counties. 1t puZ-
zled Us no little to account for these
extraordinary losses, but an examin8-
lion Of the COmptrOler's report solves
the mystery. In 1860 there were in
East Tennessee, according to the as
SCISSORS returns, S,9OS, 39S acres of land,
while in 1869 there are only 1851, $50
acres. 1t thus appears that East
Tennessee is now minus nearly one
million acres of land, which disap-
peare1 during the war, and must have
been carried OF or destroyed by the
"Rebels." That was a decidedly big
lob. We no longer wonder that the
''loyai citizens" OF East Tennessee put
in claims for large losses"
