ANOTHER REBUKE OF GRANT.

Mr.. Grant is being badly riddled by
broadsides from the Radical press. This
is rather hard, being shot down by the
guns of ones friends, and we should per-
haps be inclined to pity poor Grant in
some,Sdegree were it not that he so richly
merits all that has been said against him.
For those errors and hort-comings of
Mr.. Grant which are attributed to his lack
of culture and natural obtuseness, we
would not hold him to arbitrary account !;
but the downright 'jobs" which he has
fostered and sanctioned, and through
which the people have been wronged and
robbed, are not fruits of ignorance, and
his connection with them cannot be palli-
ated upon the charitable assumption that
he "didn't know any better" Therefore,
when for these offenses Mr.. Grant is well
lashed by some member of his own party,
we experience that satisfaction which it
always affords to see deserved castiga-
ton properly administered. AS case in
point we take the following from the
Concord On. H. Monitor, which is about
as stiff-backed in its Radicalism as the
best of its brethren:
''The people expected much in the way
of economy and reform in the public ex-
penditures; and they expected the gallant
leaders of our armies to take the lead in
pressing these reforms upon Congress,
and illustrating their necessity and practi-
cability by his own example. They ex-
pected to see him set his face sternly
against all the schemes for squandering
the public lands, and, if necessary, to
throttle them with his veto. But instead
of this they have seen the plunderers more
bold and grasping than ever; and they
have not heard the President utter one
word against their operations, but have
seen his name and approval appended,
with apparent alacrity, to every plumber
bill which hungry and insolent lobby
have been able to bride and log-roll
through Congress-. -

GOVERNOR ENGLISH, of Connecticut
said some good things to Mr.. Grant, the
other day, on receiving" him at Stan
ford. Said the Governor:
''The citizens of Connecticut are in
telligent, industrious, hberty-loving and
aw-abiding people. They believe, as did
their ancient fathers, in local self-gov-
eminent, and that there can be no liberty
without law, and nc law without the Con.
stitutiOn. 1t has been their pride that
within their borders the first attempt was
made to govern man by a written consti-
tuition. They hold that the principles
upon which our government was founded
are as essential to the restoration and
preservation of our Republican institu-
tons to-day as they were Tor the estab-
lishment of these institutions originally.
They have great respect for their rep
resentatives and it will be made manifest.
as youmeet them on your journey through
the State, and receive, as you will, sin
cere, cordial and most hearty welcome. "
If ever there was a man who needed to
be reminded that there's still such thing
in existence as the Constitution, Grant is
that man, and the Democratic party win
thank Governor English for the happy
and dignifed manner in which he dis
charged this public duty.

SOME of the Indians who have recently
been on a visit to Washington possess not
only eloquence of high order, but con-
siderable natural wit, or it is manufactured
for them. For instance, the Washing
ton correspondent of the New York
Herald states that during an interview
between Commissioner Parker and Little
Swan, the former asked the latter if his
chiefs and young braves would agree with
him as to peace and have good hearts
The chief remarked that he had visited
Congress and found the members there
disagreeing. 1t was the same way with
his people at home The question was
asked how he became a great chief. He
replied, by his deeds in battle. Some one
suggested, ''by killing people?" eyes, y
he quickly responded, ''the same as the
Great Father in the White House"

Our cotemporary manifests solicitude
for ''the disarmed and surrendered adver-
sary,n who has been tyranically oppress-
ing the people of the South for the past
five years, which, we confess, we cannot
feel. Nor DOVE desire to give him that
'tchoice between Conservative candidates
who present themselves, which will en-.
able him to choose Governor for US.
To which the Banner replies: isib
Could words be Drawer in time of peace2
How we apples do swim, in calm, to be
sure. But could anything be more
savagely proscriptIve? M
Now what does the Democratic Con-
gressional address say:
'tLet there be no sacrifice of the cause
to crafty personal ambition or resent
ment; nc. manifestations of narrow or
proscriptive feeling. Verify, our neigh
boris Democracy, and that of the North,
is as wide apart now as it was during the
war; casl ElE ir inruuj saf aysss
It viii certainly be news to the Demo
Gratis and Conservatives of Tennessee, and
to. the signers of sthe Democratic Con
gressionsl Address" that the object of
the foregoing paragraph, quoted from
that address, was to prevent an outraged
and indignantpublic opinion from strikin g
with a heavy hand this ''disarmed and
and surrendered adversary" which has
for its guides and eounsellors Roderi ok
Random Butler, Horace Maynard, VIM
G. Brownlow and allie that set. It viii
certainly be news to the Democrats and
Conservatives of Tennessee and to the
signers of 'the Democratic Congress
sional Address" that the object of that
address was to give this disarmed and
surrendered adversary that ''choice be-
tween Conservative candidates who pre-
sent themselves, " which will enable him
to choose a Governor for us. 4, 5-'-
We have understood that the object of
this address was to promote such b armo-
ny and unity in our ranks as would
enable US to give g death bio W
to this "disarmed and surrendered adver-
sary, " who has for the past five years SO
wilfully violated every principle of the
Constitution and every law human and
divine. If it be proscriptive to endeavor
by organizing and combining our forces,
by any and every honorable means to
drive Radlcalism from its places of power
and oppression, then we are proscriptiye
in the extreme. In the language of this
address let us "throw off all apathy and
act with vigor," then there is every reason
to hope that our efforts viii be rewarded
with success. Let us follow the plainest
dictates of reason and incur no risks.
And instead of opposing conventions
where necessary to settle the claims
of rival aspirants of the same polit-
cal faith; instead of following
the advice of e correspondent of the
Banner, few days since, to '1et all run
for Office who wish, and let the longest
pole take down the persimmons, let us
rather have candidates chosen. In the
language of the Congressional Address,
'Let the best men be chosen for candi-
dates, and we may hope to see our coun-
try redeemed from misrule.n

IT is reported that Grant addressed a
note to Mr.. Motley requesting his resigna-
ton, which he met by flat refusal, thus
throwing himself upon his friends in the
Senate, and the tenure-of-office act. When
the nomination of Frelinghuysen came up
in the executive session of the Senate, on
the 18th inst, Mr.. Sumner and Mr.. VIII
son tried to save their friend Motley by
speaking against time, so as to allow the
nomination of his successor to go over to
the next session, but this did not succeed,
and, despite the general tenor of the dis
cussion against recalling Mr.. Motley
through such an appointment, Frelinghuy-
sen was confirmed, there being only three
dissenting votes-Messrs. Ross, Robinson
and Sprague. The grief of Mr.. Sumner
at the removal of his friend was so great
that he did not vote; neither did Wilson
vote

SOME time since paid up policy on
his life for $4,000 was presented to
Grant. 1t was represented that his pri-
vate Secretary suggested the movement.
II turns out that another party used the
Secretary's name in this connection to get
up the subscriptions. But Grant has not
efused to accept the donation, no

out of more than $27, ZOO. Of course he
don't. He takes all he can get, and asks

TIE Radical tendency to Capitalization
is attested again by the naturalization bill,
which virtually throws the control of
elections into the hands of the dominant
party, which will henceforth maintain a
special federal police to watch the inter-
ests of the Radical party. 1t will be the
duty of this police force to challenge and
exclude every foreign born citizen who
attempts to vote anything but the Radical
ticket and ii will also be expected that
they shall assist in the naturalization of
men for the purpose of voting the Radical
ticket.
