But there il one thing on which i wish ex
pressly TO say something Freshest Grants
appointments to Office are criticised, and they
say he has appointed some reistIrns- Well; L
suppose Gen. Grant likes his friends a.id reia-
tioDs well as other people, and rather guess
ton you would find that the members had some
friends and relations too. Gen. Grant IS a
hieudly man he likes his friends; he is good
husband and n goo father, and in his inexpe-
rience when he first came Into office that the
good qualities OF the persons he knew may
have unduly impressed him in some cases,
think very likely. But when you come to mat

member of tire Republican party, but in no way
connected or related with Cen. Grant or
his administration. He had the duty of ofappcint-
ing more high judicial officers at once through
out the country than have ever been appointed
by any President, and he has said to me that
until the time came for making the appoint

every man who had anything to say-men in
public life, private citizens the Judges OF the
country, thu lawyers " no m ght m axe their rep
resentations. and that when they had all been
heard and the proper time came he would make
the very best appointments for Il C place in his
power from the material from which he had to
select.
And. fellow citiz ms, he did it, and those men
are now holding their high judicial offices
throughout the country; and when the ques-
tions come up who shall superiutend the ex-

be Postmaster to this town or that, the question
