Grant Right For Once.

President Grant has very deccntly
snubbed Davis Of the Lone Star State,
and we are glad Of it, We do not mean
that we are glad on account of the prob
able effect this conduct may have on
Grant, because we believe it will prove a
sad shock to his constitution, to thus sud
denly become violently right, but because
Davis deserved and richly deserved it.
The day has past when it is expected that
Governor OF sovereign States, shall go
whining around the Federal Executive,
every time his gubernatorial hen-roost is
robbed. The doctrines taught in Recon-
strustion days have fulfilled their mission.
and are, upon post mortem examination,
found to have never been sound or safe
They tend directly to the overthrow OF
our republican form of government and
to the establishment Of a military despot-
ism. In the heat Of passion and excite
meut Immediately following the close OF
the civil war, men did not look far ahead
and this reconstruction by the bayonet
appeared a harmless amusement for the
wiseacres who had control Of the gov
ornamental machine--and all was grlst
that came to their mill. Ii was q lovely
sight to see ten States compelled to crawl
in the dust up to the foot Of the great
Caesars throne, but when the sauce that
had been so lavshly ladled out to the
goose was rendered to the gander in the
New York City election matter, men be
gan to see that there was vast and i'm
measurable difference between tweedle-
dun ard tweedledee. Bat the sublime
craftsmanship Of the leaders in the pas
sage Of military bills, has run its course

been fully realized, oil men--eyen Grant
begins to see there are no more laurels
to be gathered in the field Of Federal in

edents being abundant, he could not fail

Vivian Troupe.

Vivian and his company are in the
city and will shortly commence a
series of entertainments. The Mon
terey Heratd speaks as follows Of the
Vivian troupe at that place: The en-
tertainment given by Vivian and his
Parlor Concert Company last Thurs
day evening was largely attended and
thoroughly enjoyed by all present.
Vivian's reputation as a delineator of
character is world wide and any praise
from us would be supernuous. His
new sketch, "The Mad Butcher" is,
to our mind, nearly equal to the fa-
nous "Ten Thousand Miles Away"
He is ably assisted by Nine. Jennie
Reiffarth, who is very pleasing So
prano, and by Nine. Muse, whose
piano playing we have seldom heard
equaled. Her imitation of the banjo
was especially good. Vivian was
much pleased with Monterey, inclLd-
ing it's roses and the "Poet Lariat,"
and may stop here again on his re-
turn up the coast. If he does, he will
be greeted by a crowded house; if he
does not-why, "that's where he'll
make mistake.n
