The Presidents Friends.
From the New York Evening Post.


Z From the New York Evening Post
One or two of the journals raise a.
great clamor about the President ap-.
pointing personal friends to office. as
though that was an unherd-of thing
in American politics. TIA President
finds among the men personally and
Familiarity known to him, some who
are capable Of filing with ability
public posts, he is fortunate man,
and does we'll to appoint them. He
is responsible for the conduct Of his
subordinates, and if he can get men
whom he knows to be capable and
honest to accept slbordinate places, he
will be only the more certain that the
country will be well served.
1t is odd that nobody has COM
planned yet that the persons appoint
ed by Gen. Grant are incapable or
of improper character, but only that
they are Grants friends. Is it a
crime, then to have known the
President +?
The fact is that Gen. Grant has
appointed fewer of his personal
friends to office then any of his recent
predecessors; but what he has done,
was done openly; he has concealed
nothing. He might very easily have
slipped in a name ola relative or a
friend among a. ''batch" of appoint
ments, and thus avoide notice. But
he has not chosen to hide anything.
A New England clergyman, one
Monday last summer, visited the
market early in the morning. While
there his attention was called to some
very fine strawberries. He wished
very much to purchase some, but it
being very early in the morning, it
occurred to him that they must have
been picked on Sunday, and of course
he could not purchase or use anything
which had been procured under such
circumstances. He inquired of the
farmer: ''Mr. Smith, were these
berries picked on Sunday ?" Mr..
Smith, with sly twinkle in his eye,
replied: '.No, Doctor, they were
picked this morning, but they grew
on Sunday ri 1.a %

The Congressional Committee ap-
pointed to investigate into the illegal
voting in New York city at the last
election, state that there were not less
then 10000 fraudulent votes cast in
that city. Had there been no illegal
votes cast in N. Y city, the State
would have given Grant large ma
Ijority, aud GRIswoRLD, Republican,
would have been chosen Governor.

The telegraph announces, what has
been anticipated from the first that Major
General Charles s. Hamilton, of Fond du
Lac, has been appointed U. S. Marshal for
this state. The Office for the next four
years, embracing the. taking of the ninth
census, will be a most important and prof
liable one, and there are few men better
capable of discharging its duties than
Gen. Hamilton. He is a man of thorough
education and fine abilities and unques
toned integrity. He was educated at
West Point graduating in the same class
as President Grant, and offering his servi-
ces to the country at the outset of the
war, was, appointed colonel of the Third
regiment, the second raised "for the war. "
His regiment was well organized and did
excellent service in Virginia, Its COM
mander was soon made a Brigadieri and
not long after promoted to Major Gen
eral. He had difference with General
Mcclellan about his method of conduct
ing the Peninsular campaign, III which
subsequent events showed him to be in the
right. After being relieved from duty
there he was sent to Tennessee and com
handed there for some time, till he CON
sidered himself unjustly treated by the
appointment of another officer over him
when he rendered his resignation, whic h
was accepted, and he retired to civil lif G

The persons who contrived the new city
charter manifested their total unftness for
pubic affairs when they brought that subject
befote The present Legislature. They assume
that the people of New Orleans want change;
theirnawspaper organs denounce the existing
city government as one which the people de-
sire to get rid of; and they then prepare a
scheIne by which change shall be effected
which is to turn over the control of municipal
affairs to them. But the Legislature says:
"voty well, we take your premises for granted,
we viii give you change; but we will reap
advantages for ourselves" Might not any one
have known that this would be the result of
such pretext for interference as the authors
of the new scheme put into the hands of the
Radicals?

Mr.. Charles p Huntington. president OF
the Central Pacific Railroad, testiies before
a congressional committee that "the Union
Pacific Railroad Company is not making what
the law requires, irst.clsss railroad, but is
constructing road with view of getting as
many bonds as possiblel" Mr.. Huntington
doesn't say anything about the Pacific Cen
trail; but it is not to be supposed that that
corporation is apt to deal any more fairly
with people who are supposed to be made
expressly to be llundered by spectators and
lobbyists. General Washburne says that the
Pacific Railroad had spent more than half q
million dollars in Washington to influence
legislation. OF course the virtuous Radical
congressman didn't get any of it.

An evening contemporary makes some state
ments which, if undenied, are calculated to
greatly deceive not only our own people, but
those abroad, in regard to the manner in
which the cotton factors of New Orleans do
business, as compared with those of Men,
phis. The article condemns what it terms
the ''cumbrous machinery" of the New Or
leans cotton market, stating that it reauires
five or six weeks at the shortest for our mer-
chants to make sales and returns that such
delay is injurious to the planter-which, did
it necessarily exist, would be true-and that
it is the cause that much cotton, which would
otherwise come to New Orleans, is shipped
to Memphis.
Now the facts are that there is no reason
why cotton should not be sold here the day it
is received, and in no few cases it is done.
But planters of course authorize their mer-
chants to use their discretion as to whether
the cotton shall be sold or held for an adj
vance, in which case the cotton may not be
sold for month. Because cotton is not sold
and the account sales returned within two
days after its arrival at the leyee, does not
prove that in cannot be sold, but only that the
judgment of the factor does not In every in
stance lead him to make an immediate sale.
AS to the simplicity of the style in which
the Memphis merchants do business, it can
be accounted for by the fact that there being
no warehouses in that city, the cotton is
stored upon the bluff, exposed to rain and
lying in the mud. OF course, under such
circumstances, there can be no warehouse
"routine to vex the soul of planters.
The true reason why Memphis has been
during the past few months better cotton
market than New Orleans, is that the freights
thence to New York have been reduced by
railroad competition, and hence prices have
there ruled higher than here.
The above are facts, for which any Of our
merchants can vouch, and we trust that their
statement will go far towards multiplying the
careless misstatements of our contemporary.

A THREE coRNFREu FIGHT.

The quarrel which broke out between the
| House and Senate, at the count of the presi-
Dental vote, is only adjourned. Butler, who
led the House on that occasion, cared not
straw about the ostensible matter in dispute.
He thought he saw an opportunity to lower
the pride and assumption of the Senate, and
he determined to make the most of it The
latter body had neglected to pass his bill
repeating the tenure-of-office law, after it had
gone through the House. That provoked
him. The same body seems resolved not to
relinquish the power which this law gives it
power over executive removals and appoint
ments, and therefore over the execution of
the laws, greater than is possessed by the
President himself. And this is continued
provocation. For Butler had some deep pur-
pose in view when he led the way in proposing
to sweep from the path of the incoming Presi-
dent piece of legislation that had blockaded
the executive independence of the outgoing
President. With the tenure-of-ofice law IN
repealed, the influence of the members of the
House in the new administration would be
Insignificant compared with that of the Radi-
Cd4 ocudtOiS III tutlI COAoCllNe VI scptEdOc
capacity. Even some of the extreme Radicals
in the House preferred untying the
hands of Gen. Grant and freeing him from
partisan dictation in either chamber,
to prolonging situation in which the House
would be overshadowed and in the lurch. 1t
is also worthy of remark that Butler and his
coadjutors have been, in a certain sense,
fighting the battle of Grant in combating the
Overweening power and pretensions Of the
Senate; and that Grant is cognizant of the
fact would seem to be indicated by the
friendly call which he and wife have paid to
Butler since the latter's conflict with Wade,
the present, and Colfax, the future head of
the Senate. Between them all, then, there is
prospect for a very interesting three cor
nered war at the very outset Of the new sd-
ministration-the House, the Senate, and the
President forming the respective corners. At
least one of the contestants must 60 down
quite soon, as between Grant and the Senate.
But theselements of war will remain. If the
Senate gives way, the House will feel exalted
and will want to control the government If
Grant gives way, the House will be stung to
still keener jealousy of the other body, and
be still more bent on lowering its assumption.

the capacity of the road would have to be
still further enlarged Of course, numerous
difficulties would arise in the attempt to adj
just railways to the conditions of common
thoroughfares, and the anticipation of such
difficulties gives some color to the argument
that government ought to own and run all
the railway rolling stock as well as resume
the right of eminent domain over the roads
But it no more follows that government, be-
cause resuming this right, should monopolize
the business of railway transportation, than
that it should, because exercising the same
right over rivers, streets and ordinary roads,
monopolize the whole business of running
steamboats,, drays, carts, wagons, cabs, omni-
buses and carriages.

1t is said that General Grant refuses to ride
in the carriage with President Johnson during
the Inauguration ceremonies. We can scarcely
believe this to be true. Such conduct would
be simply childish and ridiculous; and it GER
family would not, in the slightest degree, dis.
turb the equanimity of President johnson.
We presume it to be matter of total indif-
ference to that gentleman whether General
Grant rides in the carriage with him or not,
or whether he participates in the Inaugural
tion ceremonies at all.

disease. We know full well that there is
nothing that can be said-even if it drop

ment which, though it cannot lesson his sor-
row. NAV soften it.

The Radical admirers of the new President
talk great deal about his sagacity, as dis
played by his frequent expressions of deter
minatip n to do for the revenue thieves, and to
make economy feature of his administration.
From yhich it is to be inferred that the natu-
raj course of s..less gifted being would be to
encourage revenue stealing, and to deal out
the p9blic money with liberal hand. II
Grantfeally wants to exhibit sagacity let him
put stop to revenue stealing, which viii be
more practical than hurting vituperation at
the stsalers.
