The heroic Republican party which
proseeutes business men for discharging
an empIoye after an election, is greatly
exercised at the presence Of Miss Amelia
Jackson in the Treasury Department at
Washington. Miss Jackson is daughter
Of the jackson who shot Ellsworth for
tearing down Confederate flag in the
early part Of the war, and was in turn
shot By one Of EllsWorths men. Some
Of the great men Of the nation found out
that this poor girl was earning an honest
living as a clerk under the government,
and had her discharged instanter. A
man named Mosby, who was sometimes
heard Of in places Of danger during the
war, called on President Grant and had
the girl reinstated. A press dispatch
states that great Indignation prevailed
among the other employees and those in
higher places. The death Of her father
was not sufficient stonement, but thif.
teen years later his ofensa must be ex-
patiated over by his helpless orphan
child. Such is the petty malice which
fills the minds of men whe claim the
right to control the destnies Of the
country. They received a merited re-
buke al the hands of the President, who
as far as we know, has yet to stoop IL
such mean, contemplate act as here
attempted.

GRANT AND HIS FRIENDS.

There is a great diversity OF opinion
among the Republican leaders concern
ing the cause of their Waterloo defeat.
A few own up that it was the rottenness
of the party. Some explain it away as
temporary disaffectien among the peo-
pie, produced by hard times. Many lay
il directly at the door of President
Grant The defeat is charged fatty
by some to his ambition for third term,
his nepotism and inefficient enforcement
of the civil service rules. If Grant we're
emily out Of the way many of his late
admirers and retainers would aver that
he had been a Democrat all the time.
he is the elephant of the party now, and
none dare confront him in his path.
While not a statesman or much of a pol
iticisn, he has calibre enough to read the
motives of those who hang about his
court, and nerve enough to defy them, If
occasion should arise. He will not
brook dictation from any source, and
feels every inch Caesar. The party
which used him first has been used by
him since, until he has decided advan-
tage. Those who made him cannot un-
make him, and no one is more conscious
of this fact than U. S. Grant. They
would like to pitch him over into tan
yard. He stands in the way
of many aspirants, who are
afraid to confess their true feeling.
We have it from the highest Republican
sources that Grant declared that the re-
cent defeat of the Republican party was
owing to the course of the majority in
Congress, in which opinion he is not
alone. But he goes further and says If
the civil rights bill passes he will veto 1t,
for he considers that this measure has
had more to do with the defeat than the
Louisiana affairs, finances, and all other
causes combined In this he seems to
have changed his mind, for not many
months ago be signifed his intention to
approve the civil rights bill If 1t should
mass. If he has been misrepresented be
will shortly have an opportunity to set
himself right and express his mind
generally in his annual message to
Congress-. There is not the utmost har-
mouv between the President and the
lenders OF the Republican party. He
has set his mind on a third term and
will adopt whatever course seems most
exuedient 10 secure his object. Should
he conclude that the shortest road leads
through the Democratic party he would
not hesitate at the most liberal and con-
ciIiatory policy toward the South. 1t
the Republicans find that be has de-
termined on such course they will not
give him an opportunity to veto the
civil rights bill. He is just now very
troublesome elephant in his party and
the little fellows are watching with
keen interest to see which road be will
take-the concilistion branch. or the
Ief-bsnd fork that bristles with bayonets
on their way to the South. There is 3
good deal Of elimination and recrimina-
ton. The next meeting Of Congress
will be an occasion Of new developments
from the mine Of party tactics, which
will be watched with great interest by
the whole country.

GRANT has not abandoned the third
term idea to any alarming extent. In
stead of renouncing such an intention
he seems about to put his foot down and
say he will fight it on that line for the
next two years. A quarrel now between
the President and Congress would make
the situation highly interesting.

The bronze ststgsry Just now 50 pop1-

either Of the entire statue or Of such a
portion thereof as is intended TO be cast

second mould Of greater thickness and
