TIE PRESIDENT IND TIE CIVIL RIGHTS
RTJT


A iudicious classic poet once said that it
was right to learn even from our enemies.
But Gen. Grant declines to be taught even by
his friends. Already the intimations come
thickly from Washington, from our own CORE
spondents and from other sources, that the
President peremptOrily declines to regard him.
self as in the least responsible for the late
disaster to the party or to consider that he
was however remotely alluded to in the SWELL
ing admOnitiOns recently addressed to the Ad-
ministration from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
He advertS with characteristic DaIvete to the
defeat of Gov. Dix and of Mr.. Roberts, as
significant of the fate of all those who declare
themselves in opposition to third term. The
people like courage, he thinks. and have justly
punished these statesmen for not daring to
come out in his favor. He stands firmly by
his Cincinnati letter and is as ready to
sacrifice himself for the public good as
ever. He sees no change as yet in the
condition of affairs that should discourage him.
He is not at all surprised at the rout of Butler
and Talbot and Halsey and Parsons and the
rest. Butler ought to have expected it, The
increase of the Presidents salary was very
well, but he should have stopped there and
not committed the indelcacy of increasing his
own. AS to Talbot the man is a teetOtaler,
and appears to believe in it; no wonder he
could not be elected. Halsey had ideas
about reform and Civil Service, and the
people detest such sentimental puritanism
and Parsons--as the household organ de-
clares-deserved to be beaten, probably
for having taken so many fees out of
III 4, t1n
centage of Gen. Babcock the national meas
uring worm. But beating these men, the
President argues, is very different matter
from voting against him. Depend upon it,"
said the old French noble, " the Almighty will
"thnk twice before damning q man of my
equality" The President has equally con-
s0atory views as to the intentions of the SOW
