President Grant.
TFrom the CHICAGO Post. |

1t is not often that a public man SO sue.
cessfully overrides detraction and calumny
as General Grant has done. Ever since his
electieh he has encountered more malicious
ISLANDERS than any public officer in our his
tory. The libels that have been hurled at
his character have been of the very worst
sort possibe-such as charges of venality
and of fraud-charges that have been
woven with the most consummate skillin
a web of fiction, bearing all the veri-simili-
tude that art could give it. Grant is the
most unguarded man that ever stood con-
spicuously before the people, and every ad-
vantage has been taken of his INGENIOUS
ness to secure a wool for the tissue of lies
that his enemies have told These falsehoods
have been spun, too, with the most re-
markable persistence, the most persevering
obstinacy and the most systematic artful-
ness, of any lies ever fabricated against an
innocent man.
But Grant has lived them all down. He
stands to-day at the head of the nation
without single one of these calumnies
believed by any mentionable number of
the people of this country. He holds up
his head, perfectly unscathed by the arrows
of persecution, aud his character is purer
and brighter in the estimation of three
fourths of the inhabitants Of the Union to-
day, than when he was the admired and
beloved commander Of our army on its re-
urn from victory four years and a half
