to Have ONCE.
From the Cincinnati COMMERCIAL
We would give General Grant full
credit for his military services, but we
are not converted to the notion that his
family should be showered with offices
and honors for his sake. When we put
a family in class of government favor
ties we will have drifted far from whole.
some Rspublicanism. General Grants
father is not fit for Postmaster at Gov.
ington, and therefore. if he we're the sire
of all the great men in the country, he
should not hold Office. The bad taste
displayed by the President in appointing
his father, is too obvious for discussion.
Those who don't see it are incapable of
understanding, and ought to be subjects
of King or Queen, and pay special
taxes for the support of royal babies,
and for all the rakes and imbeciles that
make up an imperial family.
