to q much earlier period, and has far diffrrrnt
origin. Two well-knOwn Massachusetts RenuI,;
cans were in Washington four weeks after the
Inauguration of President Grant and called upon
the Senator, who talked with them freely. and
criticised the then recent appointments to Office
and among other things said: at is always had
policy in Republican form of government to
put into the Presidential chair a man whose only
qualification is his military record" And he ad-

President Grant, in these few weeks that he has
been President, has done more to jemoralize and
break up the Republican party than Andrew

As the gentlemen were leaving, one of them in

Massachusetts, "Yes," said the Senator, "pro-
claim il anywhere and everywhere" The gen.
tlemeu left, but did not bear Mr. Summers mes
sage to the people of this State, and only made it
public when, year or two later, the whole COM
munity had been made aware Of his dislike Of the
President. About the time of the visit Of these
gentlemen to Washington, other gentlemen Of this
State became aware Of Senator Summers feelings
toward President Grant.
1t is apparent from the fact that President
Grant had at that time done hut little besides ap-
point his Cabinet and other officers, and less Of
these than had been anticipated, that the Senator
could have no other cause Of complaint. His
opposition to the President is thus clearly and un-
mistakabIy shown to have had other origin
than this disregard Of his advice in making
appointments, and failure to consult him in that

Senators had left the capital, but Mr. Sumner re-

constitutional adviser of the political neophyte
elevated to the Presidential chair. His advice
was not sought, and like the belle who, among
her Of admirers, sees one person not at all
moved by her charms, and determined to crush
him if she cannot bring him to her feet snitor,
the Senator became enraged, and has been nur-
sing his anger until the present time; and he is
now ready to defeat his own frinds, and endanger
the future welfare of the country, to punish the
man who not only committed the unparJlonable
sin of sighting him. but has aggravated the Of

GREELEY and his ambitious pretenses in this way !:
"A little Of his political history will serve to
show that Mr.. Greeley is not the man who ft'rgets
or forgives the neglect Of his claims to promotion.
1t was on account Of sneh neglect en- the part Of
his colleagues in the firm Of Seward, Weed and
Greeley that he bruke mp this firm in 1850. 1t was
because his claims were neglected in the division
ofthe Cabinet Offices foreign missions, and custom
houses by Lincoln, that Mr.. Greeley opposed his
denomination; and because Gen. Grant has been
guilty Of the same blunder, Mr.. Greeley is going
to head him of at Cincinnati. The man Of Chap
paqua is in earnest as Presidential candidate.
Cincinnati Is his last chance; to cover It he has
sacrificed his fourth Of lifetime, and in snch q
case there must be no disappointment

SOLDIERS HOMEsTEADs.-The provisions of the
Soldiers Homestead Bill which has just passed
Congress and received the signature of the Prcsi-
dent, are as follows: Every officer, soldier, sal
lOr, or marine who served IN the war for period
exceeding ninety days may, in settling upon the
public lands under the homestead laws count the
period Of his service as a part of the five years
residence required to obtain a patent to one hun
dresl and sixty acres. The actual residence on the
land must he at least one year. Six months are
allowed after the location of the land before the
residence upon il must commence. Persons dis
charged for wounds or disability may have their
whole period Of enlistment counted. In case of
the death of a person who wOnld be entitled to
the privileges of the act his widow, if unmarried
or minor children, if the widow be married or
dead, are entitled to its benefits. Any person to
whom the bill gives the right to acquire land
may have the same entered and the required
settlement and residence made by an agent. This
is the most important feature of the bill, for a
comparatively small number of soldiers will
themselves become homestead settlers. The
right to transfer their privileges to an agent will
doubtless be of considerable value to them.

Mr.. Horace H. Day, well known a. one Of the

and laying down the terms ON which the Judge

To THE PoINT.-A Chicago contemporary TINS
briefly and pointelly explains the present state
of the Presidential canvass:
There I've three Richards already in the field.
One is Geo. Francis Train, the other Victoria
Woodhull. and the other Judge David Davis.
Two vt them are selfnominafesl-the third by
constituency not much greater. One has about
goo,l chance the other, and all three may
sooner expect to he struck b. lightning than by
the Presidency. But nevertheless all three are
very earnest, very persistent, and very expectant
candidates; and nobody disputes their right.
