| twashingtou conespoudesoe Cincinnati Commercial A morning gust sweeps down upon us daily | from Long Branch It is disgust. Forney continues to edit Grants cigar stumps and the hours of Mrs. Grants baths. These things are ambrosial to sycophants they are nau- seous to sound stomachs burn my cigar stumps no shorter than Grants. Your wife keeps herself as clean with ablutions as the Mistress President Way so much fanfaro- nadel If details must be told, the news comes of the latter lady that she is hanging 10 Grants arm at Long Branch with every step he takes, like broken sprig of dogwood How else would she be known as the lady of the presidentl Certainly. The President. whs: Q! hsss Grant, turning his Adminis- traitor into holiday, sends for his stud. The velvet sands of Long Branch have not felt the magnetic, spanking tread. Grant, with out horse, loses his electricity. The horses without Grant lose their airing. The black favoriIes must be sent to him. perhaps, as Dana accuses the Tallapoosa, a, the Govern ment expense.
 We will wait little But, giving the best guess from the present standpoint the Prrsi- dent has failed us. II, is disaDpoini1.eaL He has not done one luminous act since com HE EsHNi Ni Nut IAAl UT HOl ODt that the people have risen up aud spplaudsd him for. He is as opaque to-day as in the intcrregnum forming his Cabinet, and the thing clearest in this capacity Is that the ] light is not in him, no more than in the tumble down Cabinet affair. The people have pinned faith Co this mys.crioasacss Ioag enough, and it is all that they have yet, or perhaps will have till the end to assure them of the future.
 There Is a kind of pretentioas incense quence about the Administration that is rid iculous; running to and fro of blne-breech- ed, shoulder-strap lackeys, a buzz of bass drums in the back ground, as if there were being spread the net of some complicate, far sighted, tremendous policy; a shimmer and show of ponierousness that exists only in | the expectations of the people. The doubt once in a while, grows thick whether Grant is not more at home in gig behind his Hay- ana than in the White House, fronting the people. Looking him steadily in the face, it occurs to you that the Republican party, powerful as it was, might have taken from his box the first intelligent hackman on the street, and done as we'll. Grants face has no clearness of illumination in it, more than had his military policy for breaking down the re- bcIlion, The dilantic Monthly lately contained an article upon his "intellectual character" I" It is in doubt whether it exists. Not man, woman, or balfgrown child in the country but has constantly put the riddle these two years: How is it that Grant, with a this face like stogy boot, is great man 2' The real query is as to the fact. The whole mat ter will probably turn out simply enough, that, like other men, he is what he appears Co be. The Brutuses who seem fools and turn l m mi rnan fsaur ,n ,ka head of military affairs when the momentum of the nation was ready to break down trea- son. He swung to the front of civil affairs when the party that gave supremacy to ideas had become the nation itself, and he as a bubble borne on its surface. In either case the people have been of real importance, and the man of fictitious importance. We wanted hero and President, and pronounced the word-Grant.
 GRANTS PIGMy CABINET.
 Grant came, believing in himself, and i'm. posed upon us. His oracular silence at the beginning made us expect Cabinet of giants | When the roll of these awaited Colossusses was finally called in the Senate, tue half oI them were too feeble to answer to their names. Then some of them came and drifted away again. The Cabinet went to pieces, and formed again like a decimated battalion. The ministers hang to 1t unsteadily still; and "Who are to be Grants Secreta. ries [" is an open question yet, just as if you asked what grains of floating sand would gc into petrifaction.
 You have heard how Robeson was appoint ed Bore's successor-aj jolly fellow introduced automatically to Grant, in good mood, or shipboard, aud deftly carving his way into the Cabinet with his knife, as he dined d the same table. The people needed intro duction, too, to tae new man. But that wa little matter.
