all of them.
Wisely or nnwisely, often in our judgment
UNIV iselv, Ire chose men unknO wn TO the
country at large, some of whom have
proved inefficient. He has been the worst
sufferer from this choice. He has had to
bear obloquy which others ought to have
borne. He has had to shoulder plumbers
which never should have. been made. But
all their blunders and all the obloquy have
never made the President waver in his 10y
atty to the great party which chose him, nor
to the will of the Ountry he undertook to
serve. There is no SAVIOR of JohnsOnism or
Iylerism in his proceedings. He represents
at this moment the most advanced Repub-
leans" That is to say, he is urging in all
ways at his command, as no other public
man does, the policy of nationality and the
policy OF equal rights, which are the two
cardinal principles for which the party ex-
lists at all. And it even proves convenient
for those whose position obliges them to
blame, having entertained us for years with
walls about CRsarism and other forms of
imperialism, to sheer at him now because he
Is willing to stop his own projects if they
cross the will of the American people
The Republican party has gained at the
hands OF General Grant more than it dared
ask for, all that it had right to hope for,
and much more than its enemies expected.
He has supposed, it is true, that President
OF the United States had some privileges
as well as some responsibilities. He has not
accepted the convenient theory that the
President OF the United States is only an
office clerk of the central Republican COM
mlttee, or an officer specially appointed to
countersign documents sent down to him
from the departments. He has maintained
a careful personal knowledge of the con-
dition and requirements of the various
States Of the Union. He might be said to
be his own Secretary of the Interior-so
wide has been his correspondence and so
correct his information. He has had theo-
ries, such as a military man might be ex-
pected to have, with regard to the suppress
sion of disorder. He does not mean 10 be |
President of country in which four or five |
millions of his fellow-citizens have no rights |
whatever. He watches the country, means |
to have peace in the country, and believes |
that peace is to be maintained, if needfiil. |
by strong hand. In these opinions the in
telligent sense of the country is with him.
We doubt if che Republican party will find
Tor Itself any better policy.

Important TO River Men.

Hon. John Allison, Register of the Treas
ury, has lately issued circular to all col
lectors and surveyors of customs, inform
ing them that it is designed to secure TIL
highest possible degree of accuracy in TIL
returns OF tonnage. The principal object
no doubt, is to obtain from each surveyg
aud collector such returns as will enaE
the Register to show on his report for th
fiscal year ending June 80. 1871, the exad
status of the great marine interests of the
country.
The circular directs the above named Of.
Ulcers to make diIgent inquiries of Owner
as to the status of their vessels. 1t NAV be
stated that under the present system YES
sells are not taken off of the lists until notie
Is received at the customhouse that the YES.
sci has been lost, dismantled or elsewhep
enrolled, and in most cases it is the duty Of
the owner or master to give such notice
The failure to give this notice has pre
duced much inaccuracy in the reports. An
other effect of such failures is that the pena
bonds given at the time of enrolling tie
vessel remain in force until the notice is re-
ceived.
1t Is therefore important that owners and
masters of all vessels which have been lost
d1smantled or else where enrolled. and The
final accounts of which have not been SET
tied at the customhouse, take immediat
steps TO have such vessels taken off the list
and the bonds Cancelled.

The Marshall, Texas, Bulletin is ambition;
to have the workshops of the Southern Pa
citic railroad there, and says:
In accordance with resolution of Colonel
Llpscomb at the railroad meeting Thurs
day evening, committee of three was ap
pointed to confer with the president of the
Southern Pacific railroad, to learn what
action on the part of Marshall would induce
the company to remove their workshops
from Hallville to this place. 1t is generally
believed that the company desire to take
this step. and will do so If Marshall will do
nate them lands on which to erect the neces
sary buildings. 1t is certainly to be hoped
that the city will do this. AS Colonel Lips
comb remarked, the employees in the work
shops of the Southern Pacific railroad at
Hallville draw from the company one hun
dred Thousand dollars per annum, and if the
shops, were established here this money
would go to increase and witty the trade Of
Marshall.

An Austin dispatch to the Houston Inio,,

Nn Auslln ulSpaucn 10 the houston CHlOft
says:
There is much miscellaneous strong talk
OF ieglslatlng Judge Russell out Of office. or
OF IN some way stringing him up by the
gllls. lie associates with Democrats. and
has rewarded his supporters with nightly
WINE festivals since his acquittal
The same dispatch pays some attention
to Mr.. Evans, then Speaker of the House:
Speaker Evans has locked horns with tho
Governor. On last SATURDAY. the Governor
returned the Atlantic and Pacific railroad
bill vetoed. The House had adjourned. and
Evans would not receive the bill. In con
sequence of this refusal, and of the neglect
OF the Speaker to take the bill on Monday
from his desk, where it had been laid by
the Sergeant-at-Arms the time for the exer-
clse OF the veto power expired to-day at
twelve O'clock
Friends of the Governor argue that
Evans conduct virtually destroys the veto
power, as the Legislature could pass bill
ana then adjourn for five days and kill the
Veio; Evans is factiOUs colt, and kicks
wildly in the traces.
The same dispatch adds:
=, lhere was spirited discussion to-day in
Ine mouse over the election question, which
was made the special order for next Mon
DAY. There was hot sparring between
Evans, Franks and Hawkins on the one
SIDE, and Butler, Slaughter, Plumley and
Others on the other side.

his sensible editorial is from the Chicago
Erening Post:
Inc economy and honesty with which the
government has been administered is seen
IN the 1act that many of the taxes, that had
heretofore been necessary, have already
Deen repealed. License fees have been
stricken off all classes of business men. ex-
cept dealers in tobacco and liquors, and
there has been large reduction on numer-
Gus articles in common use. The revenues
are kept up by honestly collecting the taxes
levied, and cutting off the expenditures
which rendered large amount OF past taxa
ton necessary. These reforms are WORKING
steadily to one end-and each year is wifi,
Messing new exemptions, which will continue
as rapidly as the credit and finances of tbo
country will permit. The system adopted on
the lnauguratlon OF President Grant should
speedily relieve the people of every burden'

He alleges that said act of the General
Assembly of 1860, so far as 1t extends the
chartered privileges and charter Of sail
company beyond the time limited by the
act of 1915 is unconstitutional, null and
void, for the reason that the charter of said
company Is not expressed in the title of said
act, as required by article us of the con-
stltution of the State. That as above stated
the title of said act is purely and simply to
extend the area of gaslighting in the city
OF New Orleans, and to reduce the price
new paid by. consumers, without any re-
terence to the amendment extending said
charter to 1895. and seems to have been sur
repttlously inserted in said act in direct
violation of the constitution of the State.
He further represents that the State is
interested in having said act declared null
and void for the reasons stated. Where
fore, premises considered, petitioner Prays
that the said corporation through its Presi-
dent, James jackson, be duly cited to APP
pear and answer the allegations and de-
mands herein set forth, and after due legal
proceedings had, that there be Judgment in
favor of the State decreeing the act of 1860
unconstitutional null and void, so far as it

said company to April / 1895, with costs and
