bad exhibitions of temper GA the part oil

Times, for instance, which crooks the preg-
nant hinges of the knee whenever the
president revolves fragment of thought.
was ferocious in its sntagonism on the NOM
ination of Cushing. Listen to this out
rageously ''disloval" address to the presi-
dent direct, the italics being the Times';-
We suppose General Grant will now with
draw Mr. Cushing's nomination. 1t seems
nearly time to do so. And we venture to
hope that che president will now contrive to
put an end to the scandals with which he
has surrounded his nominations to this par
ticular post by sending in the name of some
one who is not a mere personal friend or
| tool, but an able lawyer and an honest man.
We act the part of true friends toward him
when we advise him to break through per-
sonal prejudices, and set aside old grudges
and consider only the interests of the great
nation over whom he happens to be placed.
His pretended friends but secret foes, will
urge him to make another false step. If he
is not able TO discern their motive now, he
will appreciate them properly when it Is too
late-and then he may be disposed to admit
that the rough counsel which he received in
New York might have saved him from many
sore notifications.
You observe that the Times only" ventures"
to suppose" that the president will relln-
quish his project OF appointing personal
friend on discovering hisunfitness? Now in
all the rlbaldry of the "sorehead" press,
there never was more hideous piece of real
disrespect and insinuation. Even that good
man who ordered his Sentinel stopped, some
time ago, because of a casual reflection on
General Grants family appointments, would
hold it guiltless had he set his pious and
loyal eyes on this base calnmny in
the organ-in-chief But there is more
than the intimation that the presi-
dent will not notice the objection
for it Is the Times, loyal and organic remem-
