The President OF the UnIted s,tutes Mt Long
Brasch.

From the Washington sentinell
Some Of our Democratic contemporaries, not
to speak Of the ''muckers," as the Purltani-
cal element Is usually styled by the Germans,
have not seldom been abusing and vilifying
President Grant, because he has exercised
tho same privileges which are not even do
MED the meancst Of our citizens, I. .. to spend
his summer vacation at some o. the fashion
able bathing places Of this country, which
are within ton or fifteen hours by railroad
from the capital Of the nation.
Whilst we can very well understand that
the 'muckers" should object to the President
enjoying any recreation whatever without
having previously obtained their permission
In exchange for some opportunity by which
they could empty the pockets Of the people,
we are ut loss TO discover any sensible reason
for any such opposition on the part of the
Democrats, provided that they are still AMI
mated by the Same feeling Of gentlemanly
propsiety rs In former times.
Whilst we may differ, or not differ, with
the President on the political topics Of the
day, we shall never forget that, having been
elevated to the highest pinnacle of popular
favor, and having become the first mayor OF
people numbering nearly forty millions Of
souls, he Is certainly entitled to the same
rights as any other citizen of the United
States. We are vet to be told that becoming
Fresiuent VI tne tnlttu cthtct uepfiNes tuCn
person Of the privileges possessed by him
before as a simple citizen. Our President Is
not high priest or Dalai Lama, or one Of
the East India living gods that are imprisoned
and only shown to the people behind screens
and Iron barr.
1.-THE President does properly attend to the
duties Of his high office, and no charges to
the contrary have ever been brought against
him on account Of having been absent from
the seat of the Government--ercept by some
disappointed ofilce-seeker--he does every
thing required Of him by the Constitution, II
We may talk Of such an instrument still longer
To attack him for his seeking recreation dur
ing the hot season In some cool place, whilst
Congress, the diplomatic corps, and every
body else who can afford 1t are absent from
Washington, Is really small business. We
think that our President, at least as far as
his personal prcrogatiyes and privileges are
concerned, has, as such, just as many rights
as the President Of the French republic or
the constitutional head Of any nation. Again
we repeat that, whilst we do not desire him
to have more privileges than the humblest
citizen 10 this country, We, at least, do not
want him TO have less. Let him stop at
Long Branch as long as he thinks proper,
and let the Observation-Disclosures aud Re-
publcans-and some better ground TO attack
him.

of his genius burning uudlmmcd In old age,
excited the admiration Of our grandfather
by the marvel Of his genius already en-
kindled and radiant In his carly youth. Az
far back "a 1904, when he was but ten years
old, he published translations from the Latin
poets. In 1907 he wrote an effective pollti-
cal satire called 1.-THE Embargo" which ran
through two editions In few months. The
perfect poem Of "Thanatopsis," which may
Itself defy the power which Il celebrates was
written when Its author was only eighteen.
A long literary life like this, that sheds n
miraculous light at both extremes-that Ia as
glorious for the long preservation Of Its
powers as II IL for the precocity with which
they were FIRST manifested--has On interest
for us scarcely to be surpassed In the history
Of letters. II IA noble privilege to add that
the literary activity Of Mr. Bryant, thus as
tonishing for beginning 80 early and for con-
tinu'ng SO late, forms but one side Of life
which has been strenuous In professional
labors, faithful and sweet In the privacies OF
home and Of friendship, alert in attention to
all the duties Of q citizen, and which has
from the first lent itself only to what Is pure,
dlgnined aud humane In society. Christian

Nothing Can be more certain thnn that

ought to be held To a rigorous account by

however, that inquired into the recent
