A LITTLE UNPLEAsANTNEss.

There appears to be something of an uu-
pleasantness springing up between Grant
and Gen. Sherman. The statement made
some time ago TO the effect that President
Grant had solicited Gen. Sherman to put
the junior Grant on his staff and that the
proposal was met with az emphatic "no,"
remains uncontradicted. Il appears that
Gen. Sherman got enough Of Master Fred
dy during his late European trip, aud hence
did not care to ornament his staff with this
scion of the house of Grant. And now it
is said that to get even with Sherman,
Grant got Attorney-G General Williams TO
say that Sherman could not be appointed
Acting Secretary of War during the ab-
sence of Mr.. Belknap, as a law of Con-
gress, passed in 1870, forbid army officers
holding civil positions. The Washington
correspondent of the New York Herald,
referring to the correspondence between
Grant and Williams, says:
"The explanation of this is that if the
President had wanted Gen. Sherman to act
rs Secretary CT War he would have desig-
mated him and raised no question, but he
was constrained to do this to make an ex-
cuse for not complying with the request of
the Secretary of War. The Attorney-Gen-
eral was member of the Congress which
passed the act referred to, and he knows,
or ought to know, that the clause cited was
inserted to prevent army officers from hold
ing any civil office, whether by election or
appointment, that is, there were 10 be no
moSe Knpatricks or Sickles, officers of the
army and accredited abroad as Ministers
Plenipotentiary and ENJOYS Extraordinary.
Neither the intent nor the spirit of the law.
warranted, in the opinion of eminent Judi
cial minds, the construction put upon the
act by the Attorney General. Whenever
the rOtund Robson goes to New Jersey
for few days there is no bother about
Rear Admiral Case acting as Secretary of
the Navy. lie actually holds temporary
commission so to do when the avoirdupois
Secretary vacates the south wing of toe
Navy Department.
"The plain truth is, President Grant did
not want General Sherman to act as Secre-
tsry of War. He did not want bis presence
at Cabinet meetings. The unpleasant rec
election of the time when General Sher.
mans predecessor was Acting Secretary of
War, and question of yeracity arose be-
tween President johnson and Acting Sec
rotary of War Grant, is still kept alive. No
such misfortune shall befsll the General of
the army if the President can help it. But
when he wants convenient opinions about
my officers occupying civil positions he
might with propriety refer to the Attorney
General the question whether his first sec
rotary, major of the engineer cops, is en-
titled to hold that Office. For if the General
Of the army is preelUded by the act referred
TO, what may be said of the continuance in
office of General Porter until he resigned a
few months ago, and what becomes of Major
o. e. Babcock, the msjordoino of he White
House and General Superintendent Of Pub-
! c Buildings and Grounds"

1T turns out that there was no ground
for the rumor Of a new party movement,
other than in the Imagination of sensa-
tional scribbler. We are now told by a
Washington correspondent that the state
ments which have been widely published Of
conferences Of Gov. Hendricks, of Indiana,
with leading Democratic Senators and 9TH
ers for the purpose of forming new party
organization appear to have been founded
on misconception. At least half dozen
Democratic Senators who have been spoken
70 on the subject say that, although they
eonversed very freely with Gov. Hendricks
during his late visit, he made no such
proposition to them.

THE superserViceable friends of Grant
who got up the Inauguration ball had to pay
ABOUT SO, 600, the receipts falling that far
short of the expenses. And now the Wash
ington negroes are blamed because the ball
turned OUT so ulsasUrously to the gentlemen
who have had the deficit to provide for.
They ssy the tickets did not sell readily be-
cause so many negroes declared their inten-
ton of attending, These fellows have
been taught one lesson in the matter of
social equality which is worth a good deal
OF theory.

This attempt at Immaculate civilization, after
passing the Senate, noted for its purity, has
been completely annihilated in the House. We
are glad of it-not because 1t is not a good law
in some counties. but because this section is not
ready for such restriction. II Is undoubtedly 4
fact that when an arbitrary law Of this kind is
placed upon the people, they Immediately

forcement. and 1t becomes dead letter. We
appreciate the high-toned morality which caused
its passage In the Senate but have great respect
for the good sense which caused Its defeat In the
