THE Inquirer does not say a word,
pro or con, on the nomination of Gen.
Longstreet, by Grant, to an important
office in New Orleans. Why is this :?
If Johnson had made similar ap-
pointment, all the radical crew would
have set up a hideous howl at the in
suit to "loilty" Is this Grants meth
od of furnishing traitors and making
treason odious?" But then, we forget.
The ex-rebel is q relative. That covers
a "multitude of sins" We venture to
say that if JEFF. Davis were relative
of the great Grant family he would
get a foreign mission at once.

friday Morning. March ae, 1869.

STILL no vote on the Tenure of of
fee bill, and, as consequence, no ap-
pointments of any consequence. 1t is
simply cruel in the President to keep
the Bread-and- Butter Brigade chang
ing on the tender-hooks of suspense; )"
but then, Mr.. Grant is a stubborn man.
a man of determined character, who
having adopted an idea holds on to it
with the tenacity of an English bull
terrier. Thus far there is not the
slightest evidence of disposition on
his part to let go his hold upon the
throat of the Radical party. He has
made a sure thing of it, he thinks, and
thinking thus, is, in dog-pit vernacu-
lar, "Iying down to it and chawing at
leisure Cruel Grant.

JOHN CovoDE, it is stated, has been
admitted to his seat, during the con-
test. This is about as unblushing
case of fraud as ever was perpetrated
upon a free people. Gen. Foster was
clearly elected. But it seems that all
that is necessary in any district where
a Radical has been defeated, is TO go to
Congress and contest the seat. These
outrages will continue as long as the
Radicals find it necessary to hold the
two-thirds power.

The President informed the Senate
on Friday last, that he had approved
and signed the bill for the further Sc
curity of equal rights in the District of
Columbia. 1T is. therefore, law, and
is as follows:
Be it enacted, &c, That the word
"white," wherever it occurs i'm the
laws relating to the District of Colum-
bia, or in the charters or ordinances of
the cities of Washington and George
town, and operates as a Limitation on
the right of any elector of such District.
or Of either of the cities, to hold any
Office, or to be selected and to serve as
a Juror, be and the same is hereby re-
pealed and it shall be unlawful for
any person or officer to enforce or at
tempt to enforce, such Limitation after
the passage of this act.

"MAC," the Washington correspon-
dent of the Cincinnati Enquirer, charac-
terizes President Grant as "the small
est great man of the century," and a
mong other proofs relates the fact that
on the ''day before the Inauguration
President johnson wrote note to the
incoming President inviting him to
ride with him to the Capitol" To this
Grant did not even eondescend to re-
ply. The public will remember that in
the accounts of the late Inauguration
proceedings particular pains were ta-
ken to note the fact that President
johnson did not participate. Here is
the reason for his absence. Such is
Grant.

SUSPENSION" said Senator Sher-
man, in his argument for the uncon-
ditional repeal of the Tenure of Office
act, would be an acknowledgment
that the law was wrong" That is
precisely what it is. Nothing more
nor less. 1t was conceived in wrong,
has accomplished nothing but wrong,
and it is only a perpetuation of a wrong
to allow it to stand on the statute
book

GRANTS arbitrary attempt to cancel
the pardons granted by President john
son, has, like his attempt to run the
Government machine himself, brought
him to grief. His new Attorney Gen
eral decided against his right to do
anything of the kind, and, as a conse-
quence, the pardoned men have had
their pardons restored to them by the
United States Marshal.

Horrible Affair near Chambersburs,
Thrce ladies Outraged by a Nero.

CHAMBERsBURG, Pa, March 21.-
On Thursday afternoon last girl,
thirteen years old, and two young la
dies-all white and daughters of neigh
boring farmers, living within two
miles of this place-were ravished by
negro. On Friday, a negro, nineteen
years old, named Cain Norris, ma
tive Of Chambersburg, was arrested
and is now confined in Jail as the
perpetrator of these outrages, and
there seems but little doubt of his be-
ing the guilty party. The excitement
in the community is intense. On Fri
day night an effort was made to take
Norris from Jail with the intention of
hanging him. No less than eight
hundred people gathered about the
building, but, speeches having been
made by number Of prominent citi-
gems, the mob was induced to disperse.
The prison has been since guarded by
a posse coDlitatlis, summoned by the
Sheriff. The young ladics outraged
are daughters of three of our most re-
spectacle farmers.

BECAUSE the Sultan of Turkey has
given to the widow Of his late Grand

$1,000 a year. Real Radical logic that,

MEDICAL COMMENCEMENT.
Thro' the kindness ofa member of the
Institution, we were favored with
ticket to the commencement of the
Medical Department of the University
OF Pa, on the 18th inst, held in the
Academy of Music. Our ticket admit
ted us to the Parquet, where we had a
fine opportunity of seeing and hearing.
All who have been in the Academy of
music on such an occasion, will at once
recall the grand and brilliant scene.
We may call it a crowd, evenin such
place; and every face, beaming with
pleasure and interest, seemed to be set
toward some attractive point. The
eyes of the one hundred and thirty
graduates, we know. very often dwelt
anxiously on the huge pile of boquets
and flower baskets on the stage, Won
dering who is to get them, and if her
name was on any Of them. The Ger
mania Orchestra discoursed divinely as
they can. The Stage was filled with
men of note of every profession; and
amid the blazing of lights, altho' it
was midday, and the brilliant array OF
fashion and beauty, crowding that inn
mense building, it was an occasion of
great interest, and such as the young
gentlemen who were doct0red and DO
quefted will not soon forget. Prayer
was offered by the Rev. DIR. Krauth, in
clerical robes after which the degrees
Were conferred by the Provost. As
this ceremony was done in Latin we
took it for granted that it was done
right. Then came the Valedictory by
Prof. Stiile, and one that ought to be
put in permanent form and become the
Wade Mecum" of every Medical Stu
dent. 1t was brilliant as well as logi-
cal, and brought down the house. His
argument for the Esculapian Art in its
humane and scientific development was
just and conclusive; and the way he
handled the naked knife against En-
pa ANE>iA NOuiN LdNS NINdNtu ttStOuiSA-
ment in the dissecting RI ON. fhe last
act was the distribution of bOquets to
the graduates, and which, no doubt,
was exceedingly interesting to about
one hundred and thirty young ladies in
the assembly. The delicate compli-
ment was, We will suppose, returned in
pleasing way in the evening and
tender memories of the girls they left
behind" will start a gentle throb now
and then as they go thro' life, until
they chance to find along its rugged
path q single Roaoer more sweet than all
the rest. Goodbye, girls! Vale, Doc

RORBER v.

The Kingston East TenneSsean gives
an account Ofa most darfag and success
full robbery which was committed at the
Petermsn Hotel on Friday night last
upon the person Of an old and we'll
known citizen by the name of Phillip
Roberts. Mr.. r. states that he did not
know exactly how much money he had
in his pockets at the time, but certainly
as much as four hundred dollars and
probably five hundred. The money
consisted Of one hundred dollar note,
two or three fifty dollar notes, and the
balance in twenties.
A young man by the name of James
Hughes, plasterer by trade, against
whom strong circumStantial evidence eX-
isted, has been arrested, charged with
the theft. 1t appears that Hughes, who
was doing a job Of work at the Courts
house, slept in the same room with Mr..
Roberts on the night Of the robbery. lie
left town very mysteriOusly the next
morning, without notifying anybody,
leaving his board bill unpaid and his
work unfinished. Reaching London, he
went to the barber and endeaVOred to
have himself disguised by dying his hair
and eyebrows, etc. lie was pursued by
the landlord Of the hotel, overtaken at
Knoxville, arrested and conveyed back
to Kingston. Hughes stoutly denies any
knowledge of the robbery.
