AFTER THE ELECTION.
What n Grant Organ Now Dares to Say
About Grant.

It was unfortunate that Grant came
into office with the conspicuous gifts
of citizens to the successful General
who In the line of precedents was
the coming President. When he
showed an inclination to call the
giyers to high places in the Govern
ment it gave the opposition a weapon
against him. When he took share
in tie gift that citizens were con-
tributing to General Sherman, and
in bis eagerness involved himself in
the scandal with Mayor Bowin, he
compromised his personal dignity
and exhibited qualities unbecoming
to his station.
It is not a great draft upon the
public purse, nor creation of dan
gerous family influence, when the
President appoints dozen or more
of his relatives to Office; but it is a
bad example, and shows a low view
of the Presidential Office.
But far worse than this was the
scandal of Presidents brother-in-
Jaw at the capital. following the
profession of agent for claims against
the government, carrying his family
influence into the subordinate ex-
ecutive departments where such
claims are iugded, and actually-as
he testified before Congressional
Committee = appealing cases from
the departments to the President,
and appearing before him to argue
them. In effect this was the sale of
the Presidents infuecne against the
ends of justice by his brother-in-law.
The summer absences of the Presi-
dent from the capital are matters of
no great moment in the affairs of the
governments and his frequent junket-
ing excursions could be excused but
for his proclivity for a peculiar kind
of entertainers, who bring him and
the Presidential Office into disre-
pute and expose him to be made the
instrument of designs upon the
government.
When the gold conspiracy, to
make private speculation at the
case of widespread ruin of the in
nocent. burst upon the public
on the memorable Black Friday,
the public mind was shocked by the
intelligence that the President had
been caught in the tolls of the con-
spiGators. and had been made to do
their bidding by writing a letter to
Secretary Boutwell, advising him
against increasing his salary of gold.
The effect was not mitigated by the
fact that the conspirators had en-
tangled the Presidents family in the
plot. The public partly excused
him with the charitable plea that be
was deceived by the sharpers, Gould
and Fisk; but there was a general
feeling that the President Of the
United States should not have made
companions of men SO notorious as
public robbers, nor received hospi-
talities or other favors from them.
The American people do not fear
that. the Presidents surrounding
himself with military attendants
means o design to snbvert the govern
ment; but jealousy of military sur
rounding and manners belongs to
free institutipns and the spirit of
free people,. and the disregard of
this shows Q lack of perception of
popular sestiment, or contempt for it,

THANKSGIVING.

Whereas, the revolution of another
year has again brought the time when il
is usual to look back upon the past and
publicly thank the Almighty for His mer.
ces and His blessings; and whereas, if
any Que people has more occasion than
another for such thankfulness, il is the
citizens. of the United States, whose gov
ernment is their creature, subject to their
behests, who have reserved to themselves
ample civil aud religious freedom and
equality before the law, who, during the
last twelve months have enjoyed exemp-
tion from any grievances or general en-.
lamity, and whom prosperity in agricult-
ure, manufactures and commerce have
been vouchsafed:
Therefore, by these considerations, |
recommend that, on Thursday, the 2Sth
OF November next, the people meet in
their respective houses of worship, and
there make acknowledgements to God
for His goodness and bounty.
In witness whereof, hereunto set my
hand, and cause the seal of the United
States to be affixed.
