It is already admitted by radical
generally that President Grant Is /
miserable failures The leaders every
where are mortified and disguised q
his miserable blunders. We hAv,
given several articles from the New
York San and other republican SHEET
admitting the whole thing. The las
we have cen Is a column editoria
from the Chicago Tribune Of the eth
uit, from which we make some ex.
tracts. The Tribune says p
"When General Grant was induct.
ed into the Presidential ONCE, on the
4th OF March last. he wa stronger In
the respect and confidence Of the peo-
pie than any other man who has filled

there ever was an Administration
with more good intentions at heart or
less aptitude Tor carrying them into
effect. And since the evil which ex-
tsta Is not able to cur ITSELF its rene

The worst OF these biunders l., in
the Chicago paper's opinion, that
EVERY body is talking about themy

railroad trains, In the club-rooms,

where except in the Executive Man
sion-D And the conclusion Is that
There should be = change. There
must be q Cabinet with sLatesmanshIp
In It and there must be an end to ne
potism In the Government, because
the respect and confidence OF the pub
lie al not be retained where the Rr-
mel Is wanting and where the latter
abounds. Without the respect and
coohdence Of the public, no Admins
tration can have any Vitality

Is not likely to talk out in meeting
thus without good reason. But real

Partyto pilot the ship OF state success.
