GRANT AND THE MONEY
BAGS.
The Presidential Penchant for RIcl
Mcn-A Radical Papers Opinions.

The Presidential Penchant for Rich
Mcn-A Radical Papers Opinions.
From the Chicago Tribune-Radical.
President Grant has one defect of char
acter rarely met with in high places-an
inexplicable respect for rich men. Now,
a rich man without recognition of some
kind is one of the poorest of human crea-
lures. Either commerce, literature, So
cicty or politics is necessary to make him
happy, and this is why so many ounces
sit in the Senate and House, paying out
their money to be noticed This sort of
man is apt, if we have republican con-
science, to be good sort of man for
President to take by the hand now and
then, to encourage him with the fact that
even enterprise is not the worst thing in
the State, and to assure him that respecta-
BILE wealth need not debar any person
from visiting Magistracy occasionally.
Now, why should the President take
pleasure in such merely rich men as Borie
and Corbin; or, worse yet in such design
ing rich men as Cakes Ames, Daniel Nor
rill, and others who are, of course, pleased
with his attentions and interested in his
person, but who have more important de-
signs than either social recognition or his
tOrical reminiscence? If they find that
they can impress the President with their
views, merely by the contact of their
riches, they will use him to their fill, and
blast his administration with their fulsomc
praise and insidiOus advice.
The Presidents best advisers are not to
DC found in the private closet. The days
of the privy council went out with Clar
endon and the Third Stuart. The Presl-
dents advisers should be the better press
of the country, and the cry of many
headed poOr-the over taxed farmer, the
idle tailor, the immigrant. 1t is mortify-
ing to our conceptions of the American
Chief Magistrate that he should feel the
contact of any man, much less a merely
rich one. This is the weakness of Gen.
Grant-the real weakncssl He is used.
He is impossible! He is an abused man!
His relatives have not felt, in the nice
sense of delicacy, the duty they owed
him TO abstain from soliciting Federal IA
vors. Many of them arc in office
Others have tried TO grow rich by OBJ
tanning his ear. 1t is more than probable
that COrbin swindled Fisk and Gould out
of $100,000 by using the name of Pres
ident Grant. But if Corbin had grown
rich as Crgsus by his high relationship,
it would have been less dangerous symp-
tom than the known fact that people
who have climbed TO opulence by the
barbarisms and slips of legislation are
looked upon by the President as the best
opponents of American citizenship.

THE EENsAN MOVEMENT.

d. p, writing from Washington to the
Commercial, says:
The Fenian organization in the United
States is, and has been, quietly but effect
ually taking advantage Of the Winnipeg
rebellion. Men and arms are being sent
to the insurgents, and to cover this, and
to deceive both our own and the British
Government, an open demonstration is to
made in the old quarter.
doubt this story, although it reaches
me in way to make one believe it, be-
cause it exhibits, as | have~said, more
sense than the Irish patriots have hereto
fore shown. A few thousand Irishmen
in the Red River country could for years
hold that region against all England. The
sympathy of the border, where Uncle
Sam has his patriots, also favOrs the move,
and that there may be something in it one
can believe from the bold, defiant attitude
of the drunken fellow who heads the re-
bellion.
The matter is of as much interest to the
Government of the United States as it is
to Great Britain. Such an event as the
one proposed could not occur without in
vOlving us in the trouble. And one has
only to read the editorials of the Washing
ton Chronicle every morning, where the
Winnipeg war goes on with great vigor,
to realize that we have in this, as in every
thing else, a lobby that looks only to its
own profits, regardless of consequences to
others. We do not want the Red River
rcCion-We do not want the Canadas at
any price, or upon any terms. What we
do want is honesty in our officials, fewer
taxes and less debt

THE PACIFIC RAILROAD AND
TEIE PUBLIC DEBT.

On the Goth of January last, Mr.. Van
Trump called upon the Secretary of the
Treasury, through resolution which
passed the House, for detailed statement
of facts in regard to the Pacific Railroad
and its relations to the Treasury De-
partment. The reply of the Secretary
has Just been printed in a thick pamphlet
of one hundred and sixty-five pages,
much of which is, | think, perfectly OBJ
scure. One fact is plain enough. how
ever, from it-that all we have heard
about the reduction of the public debt
since the accession of President Grant is
false. Thus, it appears that on the 31st
of last January the amount of Pacific
Railroad bonds, for which the Govern
ment holds itself liable, and on which
interest is paid out of the Federal Treas
ury, was $64, 457, 800. On this sum there
has already been paid, at six per cent,
81, 95S, 364 in gold, and the road has paid
10 the United States, in transportation at
such enormous rates as ten cents per
mile per man for troops and correspond
ingly for freight, nearly two millions, Mr..
BOutwell's last statement of the public
debt makes a showing of decrease of
about eighty millions since the first of
March, 1869. But in the statements
made by Secretary McCulloch the Pa
cific Railroad bonds are always included,
and in Mr.. Boutwell's statements no ac-
count whatever is taken of them. You
must, therefore, deduct sixty-five from
eighty, and the remainder is the number
of millions by which the debt has been
actually reduced under the new admins
tration. This, too, in a year of. the
highest taxes and the smallest amount of
necessary expenses since the war. l
think, therefore, that candid men should
be slow to throw up their hats for this
Economical administration. 1t may be
true that the public debt is rapidly melt
ing under Grants administration, like
snow bank under genial sun-but can't
see it, and the official figures don't show
it. MACK.

a NOTABLE TROTruNG MATCH.

We copy as follows from the Baltimore
SIN of the 10TH
"The most remarkable trOtting match
perhaps on record in Maryland took place
on Monday, between Mr.. ThOs. McCrea,
Jr s sOrrel mare, Lady Alice, and DR..
Thos. b. Owings' gray geldiDg, Ben.
Davis, the course being from Ellicott
City TO Frederick City and back, the dis
lance seventy miles and the stakes 5000
aside. The turnpike over which the race
took place is very billy, and on Monday
was heavy. The horses were harnesscd
to three-hundred-pound wagons, and driv-
on by their respective owners. They
started from EllicOtt City at twenty min
utcs to z O'Clock in the morning, and
logged for the first two miles, when the
race commenced in earnest. Aheavy show
storm prevailed at the time, drivingin their
faces nearly al! the way to Frederick.
Both horses were in fine condition and
well matched, and the contest was close
and exciting. Only the necessary steps
were made on the route for refreshments,
the drivers, on reaching Frederick, stop
ping at the hotel by Encouragement. TO
register their names and returning TO their
WORK. The race was won fy Lady
Alice in seven hours and fifteen min
utes, beating her competitor by only
seventeen minutes Neither horse, it is
alleged, was in the slightest degree dis
tressed by the extraordinary tax upon its
speed and endurance, and it is stated,
might easily have continued the race to
this city without exhibiting signs of fatigue
The result was SO close that the friends of
the losing horse have still faith in their IA
vorite, and another match is spoken of, the
distance to be the same and the stakes
