Gen. Grants Life Insurance.

We ere glad 10 receive Il little light on
this subject in addition to that furnished by
the Boston Post, by which the report was first
made public. 1t comes in the form of letter
from Gen. p. II. JONES, Postmaster of
New York. His language is that no as
sessment for any such purpose was ever
levied upoa any Jerk with me, nor has any
contribution to such thing ever been solicit
cd" This proves that If any employees Of
the Post Office have been induced TO pay,
Gen. JoSEs was not privy TO it.
The Eee0ih9 Post also states that it has
inquired at the Office Of the Equitable Life
Assurance Company, and has been informed
that no policy for 10000 has been issued to
Gen. GRANT. The Post has either been
luckier in receiving an answer to its inquiry,
or is moro easily satisfied than some others.
We caused an application to be made at the
Equitable Assurance Company's soiIlce in re.
gard to this sui ject, and instead of obtaining
| the direct information that no such policy
| had been issued for the benefit Of Gen, GRANT,
we could get nothing but unsatisfactory and
| halfway answers. This tended TO confirm
the suspicion that the writers of the Boston
| Post and others were correct in publicly
asserting that such policy had been issued
| or was about TO be issued,
| Let us hope that more positive evidence
may yet be obtained upon this matter, and
that the President and his friends may be SO
relieved of the imputation respecting the al
legged gift as to satisfy all impartial minds
that no such disgraceful operation has ever
been set on foot President GRANT has
enough to answer for, without being made
responsible for receiving from otficcholdcrs
and those desiring to become such so dis
creditaLle present as fifty thousand dol
lars lie policy would be.

The Whittemore Case and its Appii-
Caffau.


BY refusing TO allow WnrTTEMoRE to take
his scat, the House of Representatives have
declared that, in their judgment, man who
bcstows an office upon another person in
consideration of money or valuable presents
given to him by the arpointeo or his friends,
is himself unfit to hold office; and that the
House will do oil in their power to exclude
such man from Office. The principles thus
laid down and acted upon are thoroughly
sound and highly important.
Do the House intend to stop with their ap-
plcaton to the case of this miserable carpet
bagger, WnITTEMoREP If they do, then
the one hundred and thirty-one gentlemen
who voted to keep him out of Congress may
be assured that q large mass of their con-
stituents propose to give these principles
far wider application.
Is 1t not notorious that the President of
the United States has received presents in
money, houses, lands and in other forms,
from certain persons and their friends, and
in consideration thereof has conferred upon
those persons and their friends important and
lucrative ofIices9 OF the reception of the
presents and the bcstowal of the offices
there is not shadow of doubt for this was
done openly and ostcntatiously before all The
people. If there be any doubt that the Offices
were bestowed solely or partially in eonsid-
Grafton of the presents, is tnot the duty of
the House to inquire into the matterH
Do the ninety six Republicans who voted to
purge their hall of WuITTEMoRE for selling
a cadetship suppose that the people do not
see that the principles involved apply with
far greater force to the sale by the President
of seat in his Cabinet, or foreign mission,
or q collectorship ofthe customs2 The House
of Representatives have ample power in
both classes of cases. They can inquire into
tie facts, and, if they deem them sufficiently
| fragrant, can drive Congressman from the
| Capitol, and bring a President TO the bar OF
| the Senate. Or, if the House think il safer
| to limit their investigations to the sale Of
cadetships, why don't they inquire whether
Gen. GRANT has appointed any Copperhead
| cadet at the request of A. T. STEWART, and
whether there was any reason for such ap
pointmcnts except that STEWART lad given
the President money?
| Do the Republicans decline to nc
upon the transactions of the Presiden
because they fear it will injure thci
party? Let them beware, The DANCE
lies in precisely the opposite direction. Tn
approaching campaign for the choice of I
new Congress will ring with the inconsis
tcncies of the present House for endeavorini
to make the nconsiderable WnITTEMoRE I
scapegoat for the barter and sale of offices
while those Rcpul Leans who have laid {
heavy hand upon the small offender, ans
have not dared to touch the large one. vii
encounter a severe scrutiny when they com,
to pass the ordeal of q reelection.
