The Hardship of s5O.OO0 Year and all
Household Expenses Pad


First came Attorney eneral Pierrepont
speaking the apOlogi7t OF Ar. Grant, ana de-
failing with touching eloquence the haroships
OF his chief He called u;on us q .yu pnthize
IN tho poverty Of man who "a gettin. 5000 q 4
year, with ali his household expenses paid; aud
yet, when President Grant was not In the service
Of his ungrateful country, he was forced to live
for twelve months on less than what is now the
Income II a week. We were asked To noun
over his excessive labors and yet, when he was
not IN the service OF that penurious task IN aker,
the American people, he had no cottage at Long
Branch, no winter season Of sucial amusements,
no summer pleasure trlps and no leisure u en-
Joy sucn things. We were told to teWhl the
sscfnces which an exacting country had COM
peeled him to make; and yet, when not In the
service Of the country, he did not WELD the power
Of king, command an army aud navy and con-
troll a civil service larger than both combined,
but was dependent upon his relatives instead OF
enjoying the satisfaction OF endowlng them
with honors and emoluments. We were re-
minded In solemn tones u the ISLANDERS which
he had endured and the obliquv which had been
heaped upon his name; ana yet IN private lile
his reputation W. in no respect pre- Eminent
and II was In the pubic service that his fame
was won and lavish priise Toured out upon him.
10 word, President Grant Is standing monu-
ment OF the NOBILITY Of tine public service. 1t
mas tran, formed MN from an obscure and dis
eouIaeeu man INTO a. great soldier and the chief
IN iglstraio 81 a gleat people. The years OF mid
ole age, when he was MT in the service OF his
country, were years II torpor. His youth and
advanced manhood, " en- he was the creature
oil the . g, were eras OF activity nd glory.
Curiouslv. enough the SECOND jeremiad over
the evils OF the chief magistracy and the de-
geueracy Of politics /, sung by Charles Francis
Adams. lie, too, looks upon tho Presidency as
thankless of1ice, and informs the people, Ia the
course OF aTeCent interview, that the most mis-
cradle years OF mis- fathers and Rraudfathers
existence were those when the nation hal hon
ored them with the guidance OF its affairs. Tho
glory Of his namo Is due 20 their pubic services
and TO his own official record, and yet he quietly
assumes that the nation has been rather IN
grateful to tho Adamses and pronounces the
cares OF government "A bore. He affects to de
bpse parties and public life and yet without
tue opportunities o. public llf0 even Sam lUwles
would never have heard 81 an Adams. lilo has
no sympathy Tor Grants fluctuations, but the
