The General and His Friends.
fFroia Scribncr's for Apr;,.1

There was once brave and patriotic
general who risked his life in his coun-
try's cause, and SO successfully led his
countrys armies and fought his coun-
trys battles, that great political party
saw that 1t could retain power by max
ing him President of the United States.
This party avaiIed itself to the Gener-
ais popularity, and achieved its object.
Nobody in the country ever supposed
that he was a great statesman, or a
great politician, or that he was remark
ably wise 10 any respect. except in mat
ters relating to leather and war. We
do not know that he ever pretended to
be wise in any thing but leather and
war. lie thought as greater men have
thought, that it would be d nice thing
to be President of the United States :;
aud he has done as well in that office,
VIC doubt not, as he has known how to
do. On the whole he has done pretty
well. The country is fairly prosperous,
and both home and foreign affairs have
been managed wisely If he has shown
any weakness, he has done exactly what
every national Man expected he would
do. The men who used him TO advance
their property Interests knew his faults
just as we'll four years ago as they do
now, aud morally esponsible for every
impolitic and unstatcsmanlike act of his
administration, If any such act has been
committed. Indeed, they cannot fail
to know, that the experience o. the last
three years has done more to fit him for
| the place he holds than all his life had
doue previously.
Now, some of the politicians who
were so ready to use the General (who
was entirel ready to be used are com
ing to entertain very contemptous opin,
ion Of him, when In order to secure a
second term of Office, and to serve his
own interest, he proposes to use them

is that the fame of General Grant, the
soldier, will outlast his political associ-
ations, but it seems a pity that our he
roes must for purposes be forced into
false positions, aud have their goot
names dragged through the mire of po
liticai strife. Let us Mt least admit tha
the motive of the President 10 using th,
party which elected him for securing
reelection is as good as that which in-
duced that party to uso him at first, Il
advance its own interests, when no stud
or experience OF his life had helped t
prepare him for the duties of his higl
office. Still his friends follow the va,

to be tool, must expect to be tosse'

She will always allow the. members of
her househould to build each shrine,
and will treat 1t as sacred, because it
is shrine to the one who has builded'it.
The daughter is not called an idle

diculously picturesque in ,;ts variety of
bright colors, worn quite short, and her
feet were encased in q pair Of shoes such

a country milk-maid for barn yard work.

NEW YORK, March 14.-Governor
Warmoth, of Louisiana, in an ex-
preston of his views on Louisiana
politics, says the Administration
party IN the State is confined to Col
lector Casey and his adherents, who
are holding Federal offices, and that
the retention in office of Casey and
Packard disguised LonSstreet so
that he was obliged to resign. These
Federal officials, he says, are en-
gagged in all sorts of corruption.
Casey made a point to get an inter-
est IN all the companies which OBJ
tanned privileges from the Legisla-
ture. Among the bills in which he
Is interested were the Levee bill,
the Levee Shed bill and the Ware
house bill. The man named to sue
coed Longstreet is Parker. brother
ln-law of Ben. Butler. The oppo-
sition to Grant, he thinks, will in

Ku KLux HoRaoRs.

While Radical journals and speak
ers are still largely engaged in por
traying Ku klux horrors in the
South, it furnishes an agreeable re-
lief to the painful monotony of the
hackneyed theme to take a look be
hind the scenes and allow the eve tC
rest for a moment on the fostering
corruptions of the carpet-bag rule IN
that section, which Radical suprem-
acy has spawned upon the crushed
and unhappy people.
In a recent debate in the House OF
Representatives, on the resolution
to raise funds for the committee who
were appointed to go to New Orleans
to investigate the causes which led
to the recent revolutionary condi-
ton of affairs in that city, the follow
ing remarks we're made:
Mr., Voorhees,, ofOhio. said no mem
Der had exaggerated the importance
of events TRANSPORTING in New Orleans.
Mr.. Dawes, in his judgment, was en-
titled to the thanks of the. country for
the independence of his conduct in
aSkin" an investigation which would
fall on his old political friends. He
described the state of affairs existing in
New Orleans. and said if such state
of things did not cal for investigation
at the bands OF the American Congress,
he did not know what would do SO.
Mr.. Farnswort asked Mr.. VOORHEES,
what Congress to do when it found
out the facts to be as stated.
Mr.. Voorhees, texcitedlyl-''O Oh !
