PRESIDENT GRANT.
President GRANT is catching it sll
around. Among tie Democrats be hss
few, if any friends. Those OF cur party
who st the fret of his career were dis
posed to coquette with him and view
with favoring eye his policies and pur-
poses are at last convinced thst ne will
not DO to tie TO, that he does not mean to
be what is generally understood as a
PEOPLES President, acting independent
Of P2rty platform or dictation; but that,
on the contrary, be neans % be a strictly
Radical President, with &c purpose or
policy independent Of his party or thst
has not first hsen submitted foE thsir ap-
prevail and consent. True we hear Of
mutterings Indicative Of opposition, die
like aud disgust Of his management, by
members Of his party, but these are for
the NEST part from the disappointed
whose claims upon the party" he has
not and probably has ssid he will not
recognize. For instance, from the Pitts
burg Chronicle we learn that small cali
bre Congressman are swearing because
be has made the following rules to gov
ern appointments
Eirst-NO appointments, 10 speak o. at all,
until the Tenure-OtOmes law be UneOndition-
ally repealed.
second-Ift the law be not repealed, then only
- LnH-a - a.. -.
tinuance Of the law will be construed rs a bid
for the ms by Congress, which the President
Viii be constrained 10 regard, putting the re-
spcnsibiiity for the same upon the Congress.
Third-IG the law continue, Mr. Grant liter
ally holds IL to be as applicable while the sen
ate Is In session, SIS while ii is in recess. There
fore, he viii make no nominatiO3s to office
during she session Of the senate, except under
exactly such circumstances as in a recss would
cOnstrain him 10 make a suspension IOr
- cause"
Fourth-If the Tenure-of-Ofhce law should
be repealed, then the el-mmendatiOns OF Con-
gressmen for their friends 10 BE- appointed to
omes are TO be fayorALi considered only when
ali the Radical delegation from the state are g
unit on the men recOoltEended; where there is
a d~ivizioR, the Presid sat VIII undertake to md
some personal friends OF his own who viii ex-
astly suit.
These four points sre just as official as
II eOuntsrsigned BY Gen. DENT, the Adj
jutsnt General OF the household, and one,
q correspondent says, the common
theme of the capitol, aud the occasion
much blsspAemous philippe at the
expense Of the hero Of the Wilderness"
This from his own side OF the house.
The Democratic press are less mereiful
and more Outspoken. As, for instance,
the folloRing has been rskedup by SONS
one who does not like the Mosaic char
Rcter Of GRANTS cabinet. IL is BURKE's
description Of tho cabinet which lord
CHATHAM arranged when he was hon
ored with the premiership of GEORGE
LII. Said BURKE:
