QUESTIONS FOR GRANTS SUP.
PURTERa.

The New York Nation, one of the ablest
Republican journals in the country, and an
original supporter of Grant, has the hon
esty and candor to confess that his admin
istration is failure. In a recent issue it
put some "sarchers" to those friends of the
President who urge his denomination,
which it says candid men who have no pre-
JUDGE against him and no personal ends to
secure either by opposing or supporting
him, would like to have answered. They
are as follows:
"Why did he appoint such man as
Sickles minister to Spain?
"Why did he select new Judges to the
Supreme Court with special reference to
their opinions on a question already sub
iidice, or, in other words, pack the court to
procure judgment on a question Of prop
erty favorable to his own views of political
expodiency?
Why has be kept, land does he still keep a
man like Casey in the New Orleans Gus
tomhouse, in spite of gross and notorious
Misconduct; and this man his brother-in-
law?
"Why does he keep man like Kramer
Minister to Denmark, in spite of the recent
display of incOmpetency and misconduct,
and this man also his bTother-In-law?
"Why did be appoint to the New York
and Philadelphia Collectorship, when medi-
tating a great measure of civil service re-
form, two persons who were VIGOROUSLY Op-
posed to civil service reform, and one OF
whom was, at the time of his appointment,
actually engaged in denOuncing it in his
paper?
"Whv did he appoint man like George
II. Blu Ter Consul General in Egypt?
Surprising him to have been deceived IN
Buffers character, how is it that year al
ter Buffers denominations have been expos
ed he is still retained in Office?
'Supposing the President to have innO-
Gently given I4eet the letter IF Introduction
to Mr.. Grinnell, which we believe he did,
how is it that on discovery how Leet had
abused it, he did not insist on his removal?
GLOW is it that, one year after Lee,'s
misconduct had been exposed by a Con-
gressional committee, he still remained in
office, and that it took a second investiga-
ton and exposure to make his removal
even talked OPP
awe might" says the Nation, "multiply
these questions, if neso sSary, but satisfac-
tory answers to these would break the back
of the opposition" The Nations ques-
tions have been ont and before the country
for more than two weeks, and as yet no adj
ministratiOn journal has undertaken TO an
swer them.

DEVELOPMENTS of corruption on the
part of Radical officials appear to be Of al
most daily occurrence now, and the worst
feature of the business, these men are open
ly sustained and shielded by their party. a
correspondent, writing from Buffalo to the
Albany argus, says that one of the promi-
nent members Of the Republican State
Committee, now holding a very responsible
Office under Grants administration, has
been detected in using thousands Of dollars
of the public money. entrusted to his care
for safe keeping, for his own private bust
ness purposes, in direct violation of law,
and no notice of such crime has been
taken, though the fact has been fully
known for long time by the Secretary,
Hon. George S. Boutwell,. That is the
kind Of "reform" the Grant men are prac-
ticing.

THE merits and qualifications of various
gentlemen who have been mentioned in
connection with the Presidency are being
pretty freely discussed. The New York
Sun compares the claims and merits of
Messrs. Trumbull, Davis and G. F. Adams;
and, while rather favoring Trumbull, ad-
mits that "Judge Davis is an able man,
prudent man, a safe man, and would make
an excellent President" 1t also bears wit
ness to Mr.. Adams ability and uprightness.
The New York World is also exceedingly
complimentary to Mr.. Adams, saying that
'there is no eminent citizen Of the United
States who would make more able, up
right, independent, safe and patriotic Presi-
dent than Charles Francis Adams, or who
would so surely restore 10 that high Office
the-dignity it possessed in the better days
Of the Republic"

THE New York Tribune says: "In a
square contest at La Crosse, Wis, the home
of Gov. Washburn, the anti-Grant element
swept the convention, electing Milton Bar
low, an old leader of Republicanism, and
Capt Frank Hatch, a young Reformer of
that city, and this, too, in the face of the
Washburn interest, backed by the Senator,
Assembly-man, and Assessor of the Dis
trict."

THE Rev. Mr.. Cramer, brother-in-law of
Gen. Grant and Minister to Copenhagen,
has managed to get into another difficulty.
he is German by birth, and has excited
the enmity of the Danes by the display of
German tastes and sympathies. The pa
pers complain that he writes to the Minis
ter Of Foreign Affairs in German, which is
contrary to every principle Of official Ell
quette, and that he acts in every way as if
he were Prussian instead of an American
