GENERAL GRANT has shown firm
ness of purpose and IN adherence to
safe principle during the money panic
which was raised in New York by the
failure of JAY Cooke g. Co., which
must raise him in the estimation Of
the whole country. 1t covers a null
titude Of sins. The Baltimore Eren-
inq Nc,vs says the President has stea-
Oily refused to lend the support Of
Government credit to keep up the
Bulls of Wall street, or even to ward
off the impending crash. 1t must be
borne in mind that the bankers and
brokers are not the only persons in.
terested in this panic. They make
the loudest noise, and seek to convey
the idea that they are a financial
necessity, and that their ruin is the
ruin Of the whole country. Precise
" the reverse may be the case.
We should be glad to believe that
Grant acted on settled policy OF
non interference, that this is not the
case. At any rate what his enemies
call his obstinacv, and what biz

JACKSON AND BENTON.

1t is a well-known fact that in early
life, az parties were starting forth on
the sea ofpolltics, there existed a bit
ter feud between General jackson and
the Bentons. This at last eliminated
in a tavern fight with pistols and
sword canes in Nashville, Tenn, in
which jackson, with his friend, Col
onel Coffee, and the two Bentons--
Thomas II. and Jesse participated
The result was that COL Benton plan
ted bulle, in the heshy part Of Gen.
Jackson $ arm which the old hero car
ried until his second presidential
term, when it was extracted by DR..
Harris, celebrated Philadelphia
surgeon. During the closing year of
his last Presidential term, Gen Jack
son had occasional and violent attacks
Of hemorrhaoe of the lungs, and DR..
Lewis Linn Of Missouri, the colleague
of Col. Benton in the senate, was his
physician. The bitter feud having
long before been settled, Col. Benton
was frequent visitor at the White
House, and was specially attentive
during the illness Of his former foe.
DR.. Linn, feeling himself justified by
his intimacy with the parties ventur-
ed to ask their version of the Nash
vile encounter. Benton, You tell
it" was the response Of Old Hickory.
"No, Jackson, I'll leave it to you for
your account will be correct" and,
pending the discussion, the two an
cient foemen were crying like chill
