women, especially, toll like beasts of bur

streets saving wood, one holding esch end

TO be supposed that one whose conduct
"betokens great solidity Of character aud
an Unborn sense Of dignity" would falsify
his own principles and predictions In order
that by quarrelling with the Republican
party he might exhibit his independence
The attack OF the World, unreasonable as
IL Is, illustrates the kind of crit cism TO which
the new President will be subjected His
opponents are on the look out for small faults
OF literary style, or for the slightest departure
from old rules OF action. They will assail
him because he does not aspire to be original
or profound in political philosophy, and be-
cause his ethics lend no favor to treaohery or
tergiversation. The country is prepared to
interpret both his words aud his conduct in a
different spirit. 1t sees already that he bears
no resemblance to Andrew Johnson. II draws
a proper distinction between consistent
adherence to the principles and aims of the
party that elected him and abjeot obedience
to partisan behests. Above all, it recognizes
in his large patriotism and distinguished SER
vices evidence Of honest devotion to duty, in
the generosity of his character a guarantee
against intolerance or prescription, and in the
general tone of his address the precursor of q
policy in which sound common sense, practi-
cal ability, and undertaking rectitude will
largely preponderate.

Opening Fire on General Grant.

From ue ~. Y. Times.
five may believe the World, General Grant
Is remarkable for confidence and self-sufi-
piency." He is declared to be more presump-
tuous than Washington, Adams, Jefferson,
Madison, or Monroe, because, while avowing
his sense of the responsibilities OF his position,
he ventures to "accept them without fear"
His address is characterized as empty" Of
fensive In its "selfassertion," yet Greatly
yery servile." The entire document is as
sailed as proof of unhtness for his position,
and of q character in which conceit and sub
serviency are about equally mixed.
few days ago the World had different
estimate OF General Grants character. IL then
represented him as modest, selt-reliant, and
sensible under the influence of extraordinary
temptations, as indicating, in fact, ''great
solidity of character and an inborn sense of
dignity" Our contemporary said:-
"His character is surely cast In no common
mould, He has under gone the severest trial TO
which character can be saolecte dIunlooked for
nrosperity, al d sudden, giddy eleVation-and
he mas stood the test in a manner which would
have done no discredit TO any man that has
his Wonderful fortune, ne has exhibited no
levity, no foolish vanity, none OF the airs OF an
upstart none of the besetting weaknesses OF a
parvenu but has borne himself with quiet
and becoming reserve Whlcn, under tne cir"
ter and an Unborn sense OF dignity"
From the Worlds present low opinion we
appeal to It's high Opinion OF last Monday. The
beat answer to Ihs personal attack from that
0uarter is the testimony which emanated from
Il before General Grant indicated the policy oI
his administration.
But General Grant 'does not intend to have
any asr;ous differences with the Republican
party" That is the difficulty with the World

for the Democracy from this administration
