ave cannot remember any occa
sion when President Grant remain
cd away form his duties two weeks

when the business Of the nation re-
CURED his presence in Washington. "
Which is one way of admitting
that Mr. Grants presence in Wash,
ington is not particularly valuable.
AS according 10 the Journal, he
has never been absent "whcn the
business Of the nation required his
presence in Washington" and as it
is well known he spends most Of
his summers at Long branch, it It.
4 natural conclusion that he is roi
much Of II hand in trnrsncting Gov

doubt tne correctness OF the Journ-
ais theory, and incline to the opin.
ion that the permanent absence of
Mr.. Grant from the Presidency
would not only not impair tho eff

rather conduce to the general good
With that view Of thc situation, we

This bill WAS in tho very crisis

without his vote there was every
reason to fear it woa.l be lost. just

when, skillfuly and promptly, Gov.

II would suggest to HIM that this

the old man, "if it's 'predcatcd' !
