and, though we believe be never expected
it, got one too. And why not Robeson {?
But we meekly wonder wnat is meant by
the suggestion that the ulterior motive
for giving General Grant cottage at Long
Branch is in "the nature of a real-estats
movement" To say that movement
may be a "motive" is certainly not
philologically accurate, but still it is intelli-
gible. A gold movement last September
was "motive" with Corbin, Fisk, and COM
pany, the Interior object being to make Mr..
Grant party to it, in which they nearly sue
ceeded. Now, as it would seem from this
authoritative statement, the real-estate opera
tors on the shore of the ocean have actually
caught the President in the Long Branch
ENHANCEMENT, and Barnegat, and Toms
River and Squam, and Great aud Little Egg
Harbor have no chance of appreciating.
Seriously speaking, this revelation is very
sad one. In MIR. James A. Hamiltons curious
"reminiscences will be found letter from Mr..
Van Buren, then Secretary of State to General
jackson, to Mr. Hamilton, asking him to pro-
cure certain articles for the President in
New York. He adds an emphatic admoui-
ton to let him know the cost; for, says he,
''the General has principle on this matter.
He will not receive presents" All this scrupu-
lousness we have got bravely over. Our
General takes whatever he can get; possibly
on the veterinary principle, with which his
tastes and habits make him familiar, of
''never looking gift horse in the mouth :"
The tenure 10y which he holds all this real
estate-the house here and the villa there,
for he has evidently "many mansions"-is
one of ancient date, revived and modified.
1t is certainly not tenure of "chivalry" or
''knight service" 1t is not "socage"-either
''free, when the services to be rendered
were not only certain but honorable, or Evil
lein, when the services. though base, were
certain-but it is a sort of political ''frankal-
moign," or free aims, by which he who re-
ceives the gift is bound to do something not
we'll defined for his benefactors-in ancient
times to say prayers or offer masses; nova
days to give cabinet or other offices, and to
do his share in increasing the marketable
value of adjoining fiefs.

FREE AIMS AT LONG BRANCH-THE
LATEST GIFT TO GRANT.


From the NJ Y. World.
new fact is just revealed. few weeks
ago 1T was formally announced that General
Grant had gone into the real-estate business
in regular and legitimate way. In other
words, that out of the yield of his invest
ments, or the accumulations of his military
pay or the savings of his salary, he had made
certain purchases in New Jersey and Mary
land-Long Branch and Bladensburg being
the designated spots. The Newark DailV
Advertiser went off in a paroxysm of State
exhilaration, and boasted that the President
had become Jerseyman by virtue of his
having, as he had perfect right to do, 6Ought
cottage at Long Branch. 1t was clearly
stated as a purchase, and the measurements
OF the lot and the equipments of the house
were given in the true George Robbins style
1t now turns out that the Long Branch mat
ter is another gift enterprise after all, and it
comes to light in this way. That eminent
judicial exile, Mr.. Bradley formerly of New
jersey on his southwestern trip, has had
occasion to vindicate himself from some
asperslon In connection with this Long
Branch investment, for we read in the Radi-
cal papers OF a day or two ago that
"Hon. j. +; Bradley, who passed through Louis
note TO the editor OF the CourieT-,JourndL of the
former city, denying in the most positive manner
villa at Long Branch"
What could he have had to do with General
Grants purchase except possibly to examine
the title, being doubtless familiar with the
tepures of Monmouth county, and which he
need not have disclaimed? But it is the gift
not the purchase part of the operation, which
Judge Bradley naturally enough thought in
culpated him; and now the radical New Jer-
sey papers are compelled TO confess that
Grant has taken another gift, and only comes
among them because somebody has given him
house and lot. The Newark Duly Ad0er-
tfser says obscurey:-
"Mr. Bradley was in Europe at the time the house
at Long Branch was giOeR 10 General GraLt IL 1t
were necessary TO look for any Interior motive for
Tie prese ntaton, il would doubtless be found TO be
OF the nature OF a real-estate movement"
We have no means of knowing when Judge
Bradley was in Europe, or we could approxi-
mate the date Of the Jersey gift, and ascer-
tain whether il was before or after Secretary
Robeson's unexpected elevation. BuAerieId
raised gift fund in New York, and got aa
ofiiee. Borie was a Philadelphia house giyer,

the persons who own the stock or franchises

existence, and the Ave proposed roads
which have no existence at all. We trust the
Senate will kill this bill very dead.
