WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov 18th, '72.
EDITOR OF THE REPUBLICAN i have
ust read in the B1uroon Mirror, of Nov.
14th, a Chicago Tribune dispatch, so en-
tirely made up Of coniectures and lies, thai
| desire brief space in your columns to
administer the antidote for the poison
which the Tribune is still endeavoring to
administer to the public.
Among other things, the disI atch as
serts that "every effort of the White
House Ring, will be put forward to re-
move Trumbull from the Judiciary com
mittee in the Senate" This, while
wholly false, is a gratritous insult to the
Senate, as ii assumes that body would
allow the President to make up its
committees In all the long catalogue of
lies, with which it has been attempted to
overwhelm the President, none is more
absurd than that he has ever attempted to
dictate to the Senate what it should, or
should not do. He never has done so
yet, and he will not now. The Senate
will organize its committees as it always
does, at the beginning of a session and it
will do so free from all executive inter
ference. The President is the very last
man who would presume to dictate, and
The Republican Senators are the very last
men who would submit to executive
'dictation."
If The moi ~ i,,N iziD
mittees, leave Trumbull off as chairman of
the committee on the !udiciar it is what
thev have right to do, and what they
ought to do, if they believe it probable he
would in that position obStruct necessary
legislation as Sumner did, while chair
man of the committee on Foreign Rela-
tons. He exhibited during the recent
campaign such open mendacity and dis
honesty, that he can reflect no credit on
the Senate as charm IN of a committee
and when it is considered that for $40,
0)0, he violated plain law of Congress,
he may consider him self fortunate if he is
permitted to serve his term out in peace,
and'dOes not suffer an ignominious ex-
pulsion. But Grant will have no wold
to say in regard to any of these things.
He will let Sumner, Trumbull, Schurz,
tenton and Tipson, severely alone, us he
can very well afford to do. Tue Ameri
can people have placed him so far above
them that he cannot afford to stoop to
consider them for a moment, and he will
not.
The dispatch asserts that "The Ad-
ministraiion woald like to have Banks
removed from the chairmanship of the
House Foreign Committees" and [ can
assure he author of the dispatch, and the
Tribune, and all who read it, that the
administrations cares nothing at ali
about he nattee-w ,ald not lift hand
to have ii one way or tie other. Poor
Banks will remain chairman of this com
mi'tee, until tarch 4th, 1913, when he
will go out of Congress forever
The dispatch concludes with such non
sense, as follows:
lhc President according to report, is
A'PAN hitAit'tio W hiis1N W Hat GICplCS Is
ing h d., v n I he tribune is going to
do, and what " hitciaw keid is gbinr to
90, than am thing else" Ife is certainly
not indifferent 10 them
can assure the Tribune that it is en-
tirely immaterial to Grant whether they
Go West" or continue to retail SANDERS
about the President. In either case, they
are powerless to harm.
