after the Election.
WHAT A GRANT ORGAN NOW DAREs TO sA Y
ABOUT GRANT.

It was unfortunate that Grant came into
office with the conspicuous gift of citizens
TO the successful General who in the line
of precedents was the coming President.
When he showed an inclination to call the
givers to high places in the government,
It gave the opposition a weapon against
him. When he took share in the gift
that citizens were contributing to General
Sherman. and in his eagerness involved
himself in the scandal with Mayor Bowen,
he COMPROMISED his personal dignity and
exhibited qualities unbecOming to his sta
tiOn.
1t is not a great draft upon the public
purse, nor a creation Of dangerous family
influence, when the President appoints a
dozen or more of his relations to Office ;
but it is n bad example, and shows q low
view of the Presidential office.
But far worse than this was the scandal
of a Presidents brother-in-law at the cap
ital, following the profession OF agent for
claims against the government, carrying
his family influence into the subordinate
executive departments where such claims
are Judged, and actually-as he testified
before Congressional committee-ap-
pealing cases from the departments to the
President, and appearing before him to
argue them. In effect this was the sale of
the Presidents influence against the ends
Of Justice by his brother-in-law
The summer absence of the President
from the capital are matters of no great
moment in the affairs of the Government,
and his frequent junketing excursions
could be excused but for his proclivity for
a peculiar kind of entertainers, who bring
him and the Presidential Office into dsre-
pute and expose him to be made the in
strument Of designs upon the Government.
When the gold conspiracy, to make
private speculation at the cost of wide
spread ruin of the innocent, burst upon
the public on the memorable Black Friday,
the public mind was shocked by the iutel-
ligence that the President had been caught
in the tolls Of the cOnspirators and had
been made to do their bidding by writing
q letter to Secretary Boutwell, advising him
against increasing his sales of gold. The
effect was no. mitigated by the fact that
the conspirators had entangled the Presi-
dents family in the plot. The public party
excused him with the charitable plea that
he was deceived by the sharpers Gould
and Fisk but there was = general feeling
that the President of the Cuited States
should not have made companions of men
so notorious as public robbers, nor received
hospitalitics and other favors from them.
The American people do not fear that
the Presidents surrounding himself with
military attendants means q design to sub
vert the Government but jealousy OF mil
itary surroundings ard manners belongs to
free institutions and the spirit of free pco-
pies, and the disregard Of this shows a lack
of perception of popular sentiment or con-
tempt. for it.-AHdntic Monthly.

A LESSON IN BRorHERLr KINDNESS
We have yet to see in the Southern news
papers any expression of feeling called
forth by the Boston fire other than the most
sympathetic and kindly. Remembering
that Boston was for a long time, to the
Southern mind, the representative of the
anti-slaveIy movement, and afterwards of
loyalty to the Union and that her animus
and policy were antagonistic to the South
in a large measure, these warm and cordial
expressions of sympathy from that quarter
call for recognition equally pronounced
and heartfelt. The donation from Chicago
has been felt to be peculiarly sympathetic
and full of meaning. But the intelligence
that in Charleston, s. c., and other places
III the South, efforts are being made to
send relief to our fire sufferers, and the re-
ceipt Oh Saturday of a check from the late
Confederate Secretary of the Treasury are
facts of deeper significance. They show
that political barriers and animosities can
not stand before claims of brotherhood
which great calamity, like the present
brings home to all hearts. Our brothers of
the South have taught us n lesson of broth
erly kindness which will not be easily for
gotten. Boston has warm heart, and
knows how to appreciate generosity.-Bo'-
ton Journal.

STRANGE INSTANCE OF PREsrsr1MEyr.

STRANGE INSTANCE OF PREsENTIMExT.
"A gentleman who is temporarily absent
from home and stopping in the city, relates
to us, that after retiring to bed night before
last, and before going to sleep, lie seemed
all at once to be in room at home
Everything about.the room seemed as real
and tangible as if he were at that moment
III 1t. 1t could not be a dream, because he
never for moment lost his consciousness
Upon bed in the room lay his brother,
apparently very pale, and leaning over the
bed stood his mother in great seeming
distress. All day yesterday he could not
Danish the incident from his mind, and last
night came the sequel. He received let
Ter from home saying that his brother had
fallen from window, and ever since had
lam IN an unconscious state in the room
which he had so plainly seen on the night
before, and that his mother had scarcely
lett his bedside. We have this information
from gentleman of intelligence and dis
believer in all spiritual manifestations

CoxcpEss will meet next Monday. 1t
will he what is known as the short session,
and will expire by its own limitation on
the 4th of next March. There is project
on foot, at least some of the leading radi-
cal journals have so stated, to pass bill
providing for the imme diate re-assem bling
of that body, which is thought to be dodge
to secure the reelection of Speaker BLAINE
i'll advance of the next regular session,
which would not commence until the first
Monday in December, 1873. Against this
forstalling arrangement that restless and
aspiring gentleman, BENJAMIN +. BUTLER,
IS utterly opposed, inasmuch as he has st
least one eye on the speakers chair himself.
Inthis contest between these two Massachu-
sets statesmen, we are Of the opinion that
BENJAMIN will siGnally fail in accomplish
ing his ambitious purpose. How singular
it is that Radicalism is not content with
following long and well-esta blished prece-
dents in this matter, but that it must be con-
stantly and Extensively introducing inno-
vations of this character merely to crafty
personal ambition or to subserve the sup
posed interests of party.
We are not now aware Of what import
ant questions will come before the approach
ing session for its action, with the e1cep-
ton of the scheme authorizing the govern
ment to purchase and operate al the tele-
graph lines in the country. project which
WAS strongly pressed during the last ses-
sion, ard defeated.
1t was stated a short time ago, apparent
ly on good authority, that GRANT would
again attempt to procure the ratification Of
new treaty, yet to be made, for the acqui-
sition OF San Domingo. The friends Of
the President, however, deny that he has
any intention of reviving that insane pro-
ject, or not at least at the coming session.
What he may attempt at the succeeding
session remains yet to be developed. 1t is
a cherished project with certain well-known
spectators who are intimate at the White
House, and will not be finally abandoned
as long as there is a well grounded hope of
its accomplishment. One thing may confi-
IDENTITY be affirmed, and that is that RadI-
cal ingenuity and a chronic love of plunder
will invent work enough to keep Congress
busy during the few weeks it will remain
in session.

this county, if a majority of the people vote

when the same question will again be sub

W. do not propose at this early day to say
anvthing on the subject, but merely to re-
mind our readers that the license question
viii be disposed of in this county in the
manner and at the time we have indicated.
1t is somewhat singular that the consti-
tusional right OF Legislature to pass a
Local Option law has recently met with two
dramatically opposite opinions by the high
sst judicial tribunals in two Of the States.
Two weeks ago the Supreme Court Of New
Jersey decided it to be constitutional, and
8. few days afterwards it was decided to be
unconstitutional in Massachusetts. 1t,
therefore, is the law in the former State
that township or county has right TO
prohibit the sale Of liquor therein by pop
c,ar vote, while in the latter the law denies

- can sanction OF allow such sale. In 9TH

NIoGER IN THE WooD-PILE.-One of
the most powerful partisans whom Grant
had i'll the South was General Mosby, the
Confederate guerilla. The course of such
hard fighting, uncompromising rebel, in
turning his back upon so goodsa friend of
the South as Horace Greeley, and allying
himself with party that was the author
of all her political and other woes, subse-
qucnt to the war, was hard to understand
We always thought there was nigger..in
thewood-pile somewhere, and it appears that
our suImise was right. The St. Louis Dem
ecrdt dissloses the 'nigger'' in the follow
ing paragraph:
General Mosby, of Virginia, owns a
stone quarry, and is reported to be fishing
for contract to furnish head stones for
the National Cemeteries. Having materi-
ally assisted in furnishing the corpses. Mos
by now wants to see the graves handsome
ly decorated"
There is something almost ludicrously
lncongruous in the idea of Southern Cen
eral, after killing off some thousands of
Northern soldiers, fishing for contract to
decorate their graves with tombstone =

GRANTS declaration Just prior to his ap-
pointment of FAIRMAN to be Postmaster
at Philadelphia, that he intended in future
to enforce the rules of the civil service, has
caused quite a commotion among the radi-
cal members of Congress who have arrived
at Washington. The simple reason is, that
it will prevent them from debating appoint
ments not fit to be made as a mere reward
for partisan services. We trust the Presi-
dent win stand firm. for in that event he
win be sustained by the people.

Is HANGING PLAYED OUT ?-Neto York
.M0ckcry Of JtLSttce.-There have been un-
punished murderers in New York before
King, the murderer of O'Ncill, whose i'm
punity everybody, either with or without
futile protests in advance against it. has al
ready taken for granted. The World the
other day contained the names of twenty
men and one woman now locked up in the
Tombs accused of murder, indicted and
unindicted, tried and untried, but not one
of them having any expectation of a worse
thing happening to him. Look at few of
them
Foster killed Putnam with a car-hook,
in a consummately brutal way, in May, 1871.
Putnam's offense against Foster was that
he mildly resented an insult offered by Fos-
ter to young lady under Putnams pro-
lection. Foster was sentenced to be hanged
July IA, 1872, Stay applied for to several
judges. All refused it but Pratt over in
Brooklyn. Foster was sentenced again
March %, 1872. Another stay was inter
posed by another Judge, and here he IS STILL
Stokes shot Fisk from an ambush Janu-
ary, 1871. Indicted ncxtday. Trial stayed
of for four months on affidavits. Jury dis
agreed, and here he is.
Sharkey, born scoundrel, killed Dunn
last summer. A brutal murder. Indicted
September 90, and not tried yet.
The rest of the murderers are less known
to fame. The two brothers Lander took
advantage of christening party last Sep
tcmber to kill one Burnett. Not indicted.
Murphy shot Barry in bar-room brawl
last April. Sentenced August ?, TO be
hanged. Stay. And so on through the
the catalogue. Altogether twenty men and
one woman in New York and three men
and one woman in Brooklyn. The last
hanging in New York WAS Of n negro some
thing over \ year ago.
This is a pretty showing for the admin
istratlon of justice in New York. If a
homicide or suspected homicide has a de-
fence he is anxious TO be tried and released.
HE fact that he fights for delay is pre-
sumption against him. But the fact that
he gets delay over and over again. even
when his guilt is clear to all men, and gets
delay not for days and weeks but for months
aud years, is a startling arrangement not of
the culprit but of the courts which try him.
