THE WALNUT STREET CoNTRACT.-
The Rpublican papers are bowling
because Patrick Murphey received the
contract for grading Walnut street, at
46a cents per cubic yard. while John F.
Beeson's bid was 40 cents per square
yard. Beeson claims to have made a
mistake, as he intended to make his
bid for the cubic yard. but the COM
mittee could not legally allow him to
change the prosposal and could not
therefore award him the contract.

30 The recent message Of President
Grant, in reply to an insulting inquiry resolu-
ton Of the house of representatives, touch
ing the Presidents absences from Washing
ton, was a cutting notice to the house to con-
fine its attention to matters which lie within
Its legitimate sphere The President might
have confined himself to the simple admoni
ton mind your own business" and the
house would have been well and justly
answered But he chose to go farther, TO be
more explicit, and he did we'll He estab-
lishes, without doubt, that there is neither
law nor reason for the great hue and cry
which has been raised by Democracy general
ly over his sojourn at Long Branch and
elsewhere, and shows by precedents set by
all the Presidents, from Washington down,
that his course in this respect is not at all
singular. The law requires certain duties of
the President. These President Grant has
never, in a single instance shirked but
whenever and wherever the necessities ofthe
Government found him, they found him
ready and prompt for the work. That blund-
ers have marked his administration will
hardly admit of a doubt, but lack of prompt
ness was not Of these, nor is there reason to
think that anything but right in the perfor-
nance of duty was ever intended. To
show the custom of former Presiden is in this
respect, the President furnishes the follow
ing information
Washington was absent from the capita
during his term lSI days, and signed oflica
papers frequently at points remote from the
seat Of government; during his four years
John Adams was absent 385 days during
his eight years Thomas Jefferson was absent
796 days. President Madison 637 days
President Monroe 70S days, and transacted
official business wherever he happened to be
President John Quincy Adams 222 days il
four years President Jackson 502 days, anc
signed his famous order for the removal 0
the deposits from the State Banks, Will
visiting Boston; Van Buren, I3l days
Tyler lG3 days; Polk 81 days; Taylor 3
days; Fillmore 60 days; Pierce 81 days
Buchanan 81 days:
From this it will be seen that Presiden
Grant was not the originator of the sin 0
absence from the National Capitol, if sin
is, and that the most brilliant of hi
examplars, are those most often referred to b
Democracy, when boasting Of the good time
