We have been disposed heretofore
20 find fault with President Grant for
spending 80 much Of his time at Long
Branch, and so little at Washington,
where we thought his duty as Presl-
dent required him to stay, but an ex'
change makes an excuse for him that
we had not seer before, ard as it is
the best defence Of the President we
have seen, we give him the benefit OF
it: "Since the adjournment Of Con-
gross Mr.. Grant has been visiting
East and West, and until Congress
meets in the Fall he will tarry by the
seaside. Some people have grumbIed
at the doubling of the Presidents sala'
ry by the back pay bill, but they ought
to know that an Administration can
not be run long at Long Branch fol
less than double the money that is re
quired to run it at Washington, where
all of Mr.. Grants predecessors il

The old charges about President
Grants habits Of drunkenness. which
so mortified the country about two
years ago, are being revived in the
Eastern papers. Oac of them says:
President Grants habits are such
that the nation cannot afford 20 have
him continue as lis Chief Magistrate
any longer. There has always been q
suspicion that his thirst for stimulants
was excessive and beyond the control
Of his will and il is now known that
by the influence, especially Of his wife,
he has been kept rs much as possible
from temptation and that when he has
yielded 10 the seductions Of the cup,
the family by judicions restraints and
reticenccs, have been enabled 10 save
the nation much scandal. 1t is now
alleged that the miserable propensity
which compelled the resignation Of
Grant from The army IT. for
mer times, has again obtained such a
mastery over his disposition that for
about two,thirds Of his time lie is un.
der the influence OF drink; and that
the public business suffers lamentably
On this very account. Now, this may
be all hearsay and personal scandal i
q assure you hat it is credited
