The Folly and Vlliainy
 DivsliOM.

From the New York Herald, ,22.l
 The closing scene of the Texas con vention were fitting climax to the pro- ceedings of that scandalous body. After session of eight months, during which all kinds of jobs have been openly foster ed in the shape of illegal legislation, land grants to railway schemers, grants of State bonds bonuses to steamship spectators and 'innumerable schemes for the benefit of the individual members of the Conven- tion, it finally broke up in . row, snd Gen. Canby was forced to take possession of the records and papers 60 stop the scan. dal. Among the schemes for tue mak, ing of individual fortunes and honors is the plan to divide the State into several "of more convenient size" This is simply scheme to increaee the number of officers and carpet-bag Senators and Representatives. Fortunately Congress is too near the end of the session to give
 heed to these petitions, and the resolutions
 passed by the Convention will go into the waste basket of Congressional jobs. Sc
 let it be. General Grant will take care of the ncedful remaining recostruction. ------------->s- . -

The Tenure-Of.Omce ACt-Gen-
 eral Grants Views.

From the Philadelphia Evening Telegraph.
 WASHINGTON. February 24-An in- terview took place this morning at General Grants headquarters between the President elect and some gentlemen from New York interested in some banking institutions of that city. In the course of the conversation one of the gentlemen remarked that the peo- pie looked forward to an honest administration of the Government during the time to come.
 In reply, General Grant said: 'It is my desire that the affairs of the country should be conducted as economically ' as possible, and shall try to have it so,"
 Here the General hesitated for mo- ment and then continued as follows:
 "We all know what the tenure-of office law was enacted for. It was passed to prevent an Executive from using tho offices at his disposal for corrupt purposes, but from what they did in Congress yesterday, l am dis posed to think that the Senate will de- sire to be the judges of what I shall do." Another pause. "Well, if they do not repeal the law, I certainly can not make any changes. l cannot re- move man without making charges of character which would blast his reputation, and that would be very disagreeable, you know and the result will be that the men who hold office now will continue to hold them until the end of the term, no matter what my desire may be. Of course, this will save me all this of1ice-hunting boring"
 A gentleman. interrupting-"Tha will be very agreeable, no doubt"
 General Grant, continuing-..Yes but l have no doubt that there are in office those who should be removed from the offices which they now hold. If it is the wish to economic, however, the Senate evidently desires to be the judge of my actions, and I shall have to be the judge of theirs"
 A gentleman-"That will throw the responsibility on them."
 Grant continued-'I don't know at any rate I shall do the best can''
 Visitors were announced and the interview ended. The remarks of the President were delivered with plea sant, sniling manner, but with evident forethought.

l~- The fourth of March has p'

h@. The fourth of March has past, the President is inauguratcd, and the words he has spoken gre calculated to-, in measure, quiet the many specnla- tions that have existed regarding the policy of the President or the pros- poets of the country. If the President is true to his own utterances he will evidently do much to bring order out of our present political chaos ane res tore peace and prosperity to the coun- try. He will control national affairs Congress will yield to him, and from that soarce we need apprehend no ad- ditionai radical legislation. Our great est danger now is from our State Leg islatures. It is very doubtful if in their weak intellectual condition, for be it known our Legislature is weak they can rise above political or party prejudice aad legislate, if they legislate at all, cor the people and the peoples iatcrcsts. We do not know that our Legislature will harm us particularly by what they do; but then the money loving creatures forget to adjourn, and from day to day tax the people to pay chem to do nothing until something of a party nature turns up, which they attend to and then pass into state of 'do-nothingness again. Seriously, if our legislature, and not only ours, but the legislatures of all the Southern States could be inspired with little of tho honesty and determination to do right, expressed by the President, we might for ourselves from this time forth make history worthy of record and prcseryatiOu

The editor of the New York Commercial Advertiser, who saw John c.

He does not look like the same man who years ago presided with so much grace and dig nitv in the Senate of the United States. A thoroughly jaded and careworn ex- pression is upon his face, and the once glossy black hairis thickly srewn with gray. The urbanity, gentlemanly breeding, and courteous air which made him shining figure in the gay ranks of Washington society before the war, are still apparent, however, and point more keenly to the regrets that we feel that the dark spell of treason should have turned this gifted Ken tuckian from his allegiance

Proposed Radical Compromise.

| It is stated in leading Republican circles here that the Republican Sena- torial caucus resolved, in lieu of the re- peal of the e-of-oftice law, to con- l firm without question Gen Grants Cabinet and all his leading and early nominations.-Wsshington telegrsphic dispatch, 2ith.
 We wonder whether this will satisfy Grant. We don't think that he is ready for any such compromise. He is said to dcisand imperatively the repeal of the tenure of-o -office law, and he Is much misrepresented if he will accept, in lieu of the repeal, the unquestionable confirmation of his leading and early nominations. He regards the retention of the law as an insult to him. an inn piled imputation on him, and lac is not likely to brook it on account of any disposition that may be shown by the Senate, which holds it as terror over his head, to soothe and pacify him by the confirmation of his early nomina- lions. It may occur to him to ask himselfor somebody else how long the Scnate's cvinplaisance would be likely to continue through the many inevita- ble changes of the times, aud whether, even if |. we're oe,s,@ @ '" '" Sonv,nue through liis administration, 1t could be any adequate amends to him for the ex-
 istence of law implying chronic dis trust of his official honesty and integ- rity.
 And in what miserable and con- 1 temptible position the Radical Sena- tors place themselves, when, to get out
 of difficulty, they agree in caucus to compromise with Grant by confirming the nominations of the members of his cabinet and all his other leading and
 early nominations without question. What right have they to confirm all his leading and early nominations
 without question? Is it not their duty, their sworn duty, before voting upon executive nominations, to examine them, to squestion" them? If, through fear of Grant or for the sake of com promises with Grant, they foreg0 that solemn duty, even resolving and pro- claiming their resolve beforehand to make no inquiry but to confirm what ever nominations may be sent to them,
 are they not the most faithless, perdidi- ous, and shameless recreant that ever disgraced thehigh places of fthe Govern ment?

nations of the day, 1T they are only true to theTse.ves, should inspire them With a national pride. All divisions, geographically, politically and relig- iously, should be set aside; the com mon sentiment should be chow the debt is to be pad, or specie payment resumed"
 This is not so important as that a plan should be adopted, and acquiesced in. A united determination to do is worth more than divided council. A method of doing this by legislation may not be necessary now, or even ad- missable, but it will be when the civil law is more fully restored in all parts of the country, and resumes it's wonted channel.
