EXECUTIVE MANSION, }
WAsAINGToN, ID. c., Oct. IS, 1872


GEO. II. STEWART, Eso,-My Dear Sir;
Your favor of the oath inst. saying that a
change in the Indian policy of the admins
traton is reported to be contemplated, is just
received. Such a thing has not been thought
Of If the present policy towards the Indians
can be improved IN any way, will always be
ready to receive suggestions on the subject,
but if any change is made it must be on the
side of the civilization and christianization OF
the In ians. / don't believe our Creator
ever placed the different races of men upon
this earth with the view of the strongest ex-
erling all his energies in DISCRIMINATING the
weakest. If any change takes place in the
Indian policy of the Government while hold
my present Office, it will be on the humanita-
rian side Of the question.
Very truly yours,
(signed) L. S. GRANT

W the gem WAS neither rich nor rare
,ndereU how the ID il got there.

fAndl wondered how the ID it got there.
There is not an Intelligent snsa
among the Radical supporters Of
Grand, who believes thai he is fit for
the Office of President. Those who.
know him best, as Morton, Copklihg,
Edmunds, Fish, and the rest, know
this better than those of their part
w ho see less of him than they do. He
has no political experience. He has
no personal admirers like even Simon
Cameron. lie has not the gift ofpub-
lie speaking nor even of sconversing,,
like Morton or Cenkling lie has not
the attraction of fine personal pres
ence, like Blaine or Butler. Nor the
benefit of Benevolent cliild-like
smile, like Colfax. He is without as
tuteness and judgment enough to seize
and use the ideas of other men, when
they hold their smoke envelOped coll
ferences with him about state or par
ty matters. lie has not one single ell
ement of greatness. He is not even
| "smart.0 And he cannot do one sim
gle thing for himself in this impor-
tant not to say critical condition of his
affairs. But he is as necessary TO those
who profess to admire him, as Jugger-
| naut, the hideous idol, or the Grand
Leama is to the juggling priests who
minister at their respective shrines.
And this is the man that the most
prosperous, the greatest, the most in
telligent Gf not the most profound)
nation upon the earth endures for q
ruler. His chief supporters, like the
ancient soothsayers during their in
carnations, have to turn their heads
aside. lest they should laugh in each
others faces, when they talk of his tai
ents and his civil achievements-he il
is, that these. scheming charlatans
would make President for another
term. They rely on the Ignorance OF
the people, on the corrupting of the
ballot-box and above all, on Grants
unprecedented ahnck," to win theil
game. Will the Democrats and Lib
ieral Republicans, who know how dan
gerous a man Grant is, permit this
disgracetul result t?-Pittsbargh Post.

Grant Accents =, .

Strange as it may seem, 1t is never
theless true, his Royal 1Iighness,
Ulysses the First, has accepted the
nomination rendered him by the Phil
adelphia Convention Of office-holdcrs.
This he doubtless does from force of
habit. He has got so in the way of
taking things he can't refuse. Here
| is his letter of acceptance, which the
reporter of the associated press kindly
informs the public his Excellency
actually composed, and wrote rapidly
with lead pencil on half sheet of
letter paper, making but one verbal
mistake-which was matter of great
surprise and qualification to those
who listened to its reading. But it
was such strain on the Presidential
intellect that he was compelled to
light out Immediately after for Long
Branch. Here is the wonderful pro-
duction. AS will be observed. the
Presidential voice is still for peace:

violate its constitution with impnhity

be cheerfuliy surrendered for the COM

all those opposed to the rule of the
present corrupt dynasty, a glorious
victory is sure to perch upon our BAN
