No President since the days of Gen. JAG

No President, since the days of Gen. Jack
sen, has been SO maliciously and wantonly
yilii6ed and slandered as President Grant
His political enemies, not satisfied 18th ira
duciag him, have been so lost to delioacy and
decency as to asperse his children. His
daughter when travelling in Europe, was the
object Of the most insulting snecrs and coar.
sest jest from the press ofthis country, while
having civiities extended to her from person!
in higher positions there, not SO much
doubtless on her own account. as from respect
and good will to the Country Of which her
father is the President. Grant has borne
these outrages with philosophic composurs
and has uttered in private nor in public not
oneword Of complaint or retaliation. From
present Indications the American people
themselves Will administer the proper and
most significant rebuks on the 5th Of Noyem
Der next.

The RIGHT SPIRIT. we're extremely
gratifcd at the action Of the City Council at
their last meeting. They have taken the
proper steps to largely increase the water sup
ply Of Staunton also, to enlarge the city Ii
mits, and, what is very important, to put into
practical operation asuggestion we made sew :
eral weeks ago, Of Matchmaking the various
roads leading into Staunton. We are pleas
ed to have such substantial Endorsement of our
views, not only BY the resolutions of MIR. Stu
art, but an editorial in the last Spectator.
There will be more real benefit to the people
of of the county and Staunton, incident to
good roads, than would follow any other lin
provement. We arc sorry that our space this
week will not allow US to publish in full the
proceedings Of the council They not only
deserve free circulation, but are commended
to popular recognition for tho generous spin
it Of progress they breathe.

DEFERRED ARTICLES.

Our GROWING CIrY.-The rapid growth Of
staunton is absolutely wonderful. Tou cannot
walk in any direction unless you come in sight
of new buildings in process of construction, adj
ditions to old ones. and repairs. And as they are
completed, occupants are ready for them. If a
person contracts to build one or more houses APP
plicants to rent are importuaate for the refusal
before the foundations are laid. Our city Coun :
ell have caught the spirit of the people, and are
now carrying out suggestion we have frequen t.
ly made through these columns--that of cutting
down the hill on New street passing the Augusta
Female Seminary. Workmen are now busy at
this desired improvement, which will add great
ly to the facility for ingress and egress to the
business portion of the city on that Street.
The Council have purchased the water right,
including four of land. to Donaghe's spring,
for $1,000. 1t is proposed to go to work at once
to make the necessary arrangements to largely
increase the water supply. The water will be
conveyed from the springs by force pump to a
reservoir Donaghe's hill. and thence to tn e
city by pipes. The capacity will be 400, 600 gal
Ions every "a hours, and designed to supply the
city North of Beverly street. The inhabitants
South of that street will be supplied from But
termilk spring as at present. The water, from
the contemplated Improvement, can be conveyed
q hundred feet higher than at present It is es-
timated that the cost of this Improvement, will
aggregate about $35, 900. TIL, $50 ga
Werare gratifed to see this active spirit of en-
terprise with our people and officials. 1t fore
shadows the rapid growth and future prosperity
of staunton, and is evidence that the persistent
efforts Of the VALLEY VIRGINlAN for the past
eighteen months to awaken a proper spirit of
public enterprise are having the desired effect
Many persons in distant States are having their
attention directed to this locality, through the
representations of this paper, and in tle next
twelve months we may expect large influx Of
population and capital. The Valley Railroad
once completed and the Workshops in operation,
then our future is made Twenty THOUSAND peo-
pie will constitute the citizenship Of Staunton in
ten years time.

The EFFEcT.-The election of Horace
Greeley to the Presidency would throw the
Southern States back ten years ia material
progress. t would drive out northern eiti-
zens and capital, and bar emigration from
our borders. Especially would Virginia SUI
fer Many Northern people are moving into
this State. The election Of Greeley would
show that sectional feeling aud prejudice
still contoled, It would revive tho spirit Of
Andy Johnson's administration. With the
Senate and House Of Representatives largely
Republican, he would either have to do pre-
clsely what the Republicans wished, or 10th
ing at all, They would regard him as a 20.

ton at every step. But the American PEG

Greeley as a Statesman.

The Albany Eyening Journal, one of the
ablest papers in. the country, dissects Mr..
Greeley's claims-to statesm anship in the fol-
lowing incisivc style:
slt is the habit of his followers to dispar-
age Gen. Grants qualifications and tastes as
to the higher realm Of public discussion and
fairs, and to exalS those of Mr.. Greeley. =
Grant may have succeeded very WE'LL they
say, in The routine CT ordinary adminstra-
tive duties but in breadth of int llect, in
grasp of high and far reaching public poll
cies in capacity for dealing with the more
CON prehensive questions of government he is
not the equal of his competitor. In word,
he has less of the gift ana endowment OF ele~
waited statesma nship. esq
1--WE dispute this claim in all its length
and BREADTH We altogether deny that Mr..
Greeley is the superior or even the equal Of
Mr.. Grant in those qualities which enter in
to the IMPOSITION OF craftsmanship. With
out exaggcrating the merits of General Grant
a moments just consideration will show that
Mr. Greeley is far below him. It is mis-
application of terms to call Mr.. Greeley a
statesman at all. He is a keen coutrovers
| alist. He is a vehement dogmatist. He is a
powerful advocate. Tie has much knowl-
edge, aud rare faculty for turning it all to
advantage in discussion. But not one or al!
Of these make the statesman. Instead of pos
sessing the breadth and elevation and prcvi
sion Of craftsmanship, Mr. Greeley has a
mind essentially narrow, impulsive, bigoted
aud dogmatic. Within his own circles he is
| strong aud effective; but his circles are ais
ways small and limited. Ile seizes a ques
ton with the spirit ola disputant, and never
with the broad grasp Of philosophical staaes-
manship. sac
"We may search his record in vain for
policies or discussions which are statesman
like In character During the war he was
tickle and vacillating and cowardly in his
measures as we'll as in spirit, aud displayed
nothing Of the steadiness, consistency aud
frmhess which the crisis denan'ed. Since
Che war he has no idea, even when true to
himself, beyond hobby Of universal am
