A Jacobn and negro were talking
politics one day, Sambo, getting the best

saying:
What are you any way but a black mig

Well, said Sambo, I know Use black

provision utterly forbids the employ.
ment OF military officers at the
White House But President Grant
keeps three such officers about him
III violation of this law. In the
Congressional Dictionary" Just
published at Washington, these
officers are set down as secretaries of
the President. They are Gen. +. L.
Dent. Gen. Horace Porter, and Gen.
0. E. Babcock. In the official re-
ports of Congress. Gen Porter. who
now habitualIy bears the message of
the President to the Capitol, is con-
stantly represented as his secretary.
This is a false representation. He
Is not Il secretary of the President
at all. 1t is well known that the
only private secretary is Mr.. Robert
NJ. Douglas. But whatever else Mr..
Douglas may do, he has never per-
formed the mCst conspicuous func-
tions Of the office, which is to bear
the President ) message to Congress.
The three military officers who
thus figured as the Presidents 5 secre-
taries fall under that position of the
law which forbids any officer of the
army to exercise the functions of a
evil officer. In the view of the law
they have all vacated their commits
sions by violating this provision.
But TINS Is not the worst feature of
case. Ii President Grant wishes
for three additional secretaries, it is
his duty to apply to Congress forau-
thorlty to appoint them, and also for
an appropriation to pay for their SER
vices. This he has not been willing
to do. He prefers to attain the pur-
pose Of keeping up 50 large staff by
subterfuge and equivocation. alike
unworthy Of the President and OF
the officers whom he places in a false
and illegal position. These three
officers appear upon the rolls of the
army not rs secretaries of the Presi-
dent, but aides-de-camp on the staff
OF General Sherman. As such they
are paid. and General Sherman de-
tails them for service about the per
son of the President. This piece of
false pretense. this sneaking sort of
illeSality is, We say, not creditable
to any of the parties engaged in it.
II there he any reason why Gen.
Grant should have a greater number
q secretaries than any OF his prede-
cassors. there is no doubt that Con-
@rees, on proof Of the necessity,
viii grant them. But certainly they
should not be military men. No
civil officer. and least Of all a Presi-
dent who has been 4 military man,
should be surrounded by military
stat. There IS something in it
olious and repugnant to the public
/ feeling. which should not be tOle-
rated for al hour. But the case be
comes still worse when such a staff
i maintained hv the President. by
means which savoro OF false pretences.
and involve a deccitful violation of
the spirit and letter Of the law
