President GRANT has appointed the Hon.
FREDERicK I. FRELlsCnursES as Ministe, to Eng
land, IN place Of Mr.. NorLrr, who is recalled for
Incompetence and IN ubotdmo,ion. Mr.. FRELING-
HuYsES in fifty three ears old, and is nephew Of
THsoDouE FRELiNenuYstS, WHO ran for Vice
Precedent with lIrNRr Cur in 1874. He is
lawyer Of respectable standing, having served as
Attorney General Of New Jersey from 1861 till
1867. when hc WIS appointed by Gov. WARD

stoned by the dcath of WttLr,N WrIGHr. by

of politics carried him into the Radical camp

ties, a jealous member Of the Dutch Reformed
Church, and Of such range of thought and In
formation as would naturally belong TO q gentle.
man Of Newark educated at Rutgers College,
and devoted chiefly to the increase Of his fortune.
In this respect his efforts have been crowned
with success, bis property being now estimated
at above q million. II is q rather curious fact
that Mr. FRtLISeHuIsES has hitherto abstained
from visiting Europe chiefly on account Of his
dread Of seasickness but with such an honor
as the British mission TO be possessed, few days
nausea and suffering will probably seem to him
Of little account. lie will take Office at a most
difficult period, demanding the highest qualities
Of mind and character but we hope that the
remarkable tact with which on every occasion
he has shown himself to be endowed, will carry
him through with reasonable degree Of safety.
That such prize should fall 10 New Jersey is
one Of the insoluble problems Of Gen. GRASI's
action. That little State, which Is sure on every
occasion to vote the Democratic ticket, and is
titled TO no distinction in the craftsmanship Of
the country now furnishes a nominal Secretary
Of the Navy, Justice Of the Supreme Court, and
q Minister to England, three Of the very fore
most func ionaries Of the Government If there
be any reason for this eccen,rieity, somebody
will doubtless understand IL but we have yet to
hear Of the man who pretends TO know why
such Q State should thus be favored. To
Republicans Of other parts Of the Union the
fact must be most unpalatsble.

Gen. GRANT Ia not malicious man, and
though he doesn't care copper for his friends, he
is not so ill-manuered as to forget them nten-
tonally. Neither is he hasty in resenting aIronts
and he bears a deal before quarrolling. Besides,
every man who has made him a present Of any
description, without cost Of transportation, is
sure of his reward. Hence II is that Gen. Bur
LER has him at a disadvantage BurLER is As vim
dictive as Corsican. and as relentless as a Con-
necticut miser. He has never forgiven GRANT
the indgnty Of botting him up at Bermuda
Hundred, and he cannot suppress his detestation
and contempt Of him in talking with his intimate
friends. 1t was quite recently that he expressed
his determination to "get even" with GRANT be-
fore he had done with hin. BurLKR's ambition
is boundless, and his conceit aud vanity are on
the same scale. Preposterous as the idea is, he
really eutertains the hope Of becoming the Radi-
cal candidate for the Presidency two years hence !;
and he encourages GRANr in all his vagaries and
follies, in the expectation that he will SO beltle
himself in the popular estimation that the Re
pubGcans will be constrained TO abandon him
This is a work of supererogation on the part Of
BUTLER, for GRANT Is foredoomed to poliu.
cal perdtion, and the assistance of BUTLER
will be unnecessary to accomplish his fate. Still,
BurLER's sinister design is undeniable. lie &C.
compauied GRANT to Connecticut merely to in
crease and exasperate the ridiculous figure which
the President was sure to make. lie partook
with him in all the festivities that were rendered,
aud grinned with exultation when he saw the
facHe readiness with which GnANr fell into the
trap that was set for him. II was an object for I}ur.
LER to make speech in Connecticut and he had
carefully prepared himself for the occasion. But
the prime consideration was to assist GRANT in
making an unfavorable exhibition of himself.
and in that his success was complete.

End of the Session-The Issues for the
Fall Campaign Made Up.

Congress closed its regular session yester.
day. The Republican majority of the two
Houses have, perhaps under ALI the cir.
sumstancee, done as well as they could to bear
up against the distracting and demoralzing
influences of a President who, whatever may
have been his intentions, has seemed TO be
doing his best to break up the Republican
party Since the completion of the work of
reconstruction, Gen. GRANT through indo
lence, incapacity, and total disregard of
great American interests, has utterly failed
20 comprehend the situation of his Admins
tration, or to discover the line of policy
which the Republicans ought 10 pursue to
maintain their supremacy in the nation.
Congress has committed two grave Of.
fences against public opinion, the one q sin
of omission, the other sin of commission.
1t has failed TO recognize the belligerent
nights of Cuba, has bowed at the footstool of
She Spanish throne, and has thus brought
the name and fame of the United States into
disrepute as tho leading power in the West
ern Hemisphere, This it has done or rather
has been forced to do, through the dishonor,
able and corrupt intrigues of the State De.
partment, carried on by the permission OF the
President, and with the ultimate object of
purchasing Cuba from Spain, and securing
Its future annexation TO this country, by u
disrcpuiablc scheme, whereby parties closely
allied TO the Secretary of State expect to make
large amount of money.
Ii was the influence of these parties, exer.
eised through the President and his Score.

What Congress Must Do.

The President has called an extra session
Of Congress, to take measures that have DO
come necessary in view of the war in Europe
The first and most necessary measure is to
insist upon the instant withdrawal Of HAMII-
TON FISH from the State Department and Of
GEORGE NJ robson from the Navy Depart
ment. In the place of Mr.. FISH some states
man should be put in whom the country has
confidence, who will not truckle to any Euro
pean power, and above all, who Will not
allow his son-in.law or his Assistant Secre-
tary to make merchandise of the action of
the Government
In the place of Mr.. robson let us have a
frst-rate man, who is universally known and
thoroughly trusted and let Admiral PORTER
wholly cease to exercise the functions of a
Cabinet Minister
At the same time decent sense Of selfre.
spect would require that the dominant party
should at once turn Mr.. BANCROFT DAVIS
out of all connection with the Government
He has been proved by the Legislature OF
Massachusetts, b have taken brides. new
investigation would prove that he ia party
to a scheme to make great sum OF money
out of Cuba. No such man should remain
IN power for moment at any time but now
his presence in the State Department is not
merely shameful, it is dangerous.
Congress should at once attend to these
points, as to all others, with earnestness and
vgor, The present Administration cannot
safely be trusted to carry on the government
under such circumstances as are upon us
and the President should be required t.
change it without delay.
