Gen. Grant Neutral.

The persistent stories that have been
circulated, claiming the President as the
friend of this or that Republican aspirant
for the Presidential nomination, but par
tcularly of Senator Conkling, have not a
particle of truth in them. Neither the
Presidents personal influence, nor the
patronage of his administration, will be
used for or against any candidate. Gen.
Grant shows his sound sense and character
iStic good Judgment, when he states his
position as being one of perfect neutral
ity between prominent Republicans named
for the Presidency. The case of Collector
RUSSELL in Virginia, is one in point. In
the recent contest in that State, Russell
Conkling. Judge Morton and other friends
of the latter gentlemen went to Washing
ton. and succeeded in having Russell re
moved upon some other charge, but
really for his opposition to Mr.. Conkling
But when Russell went to Washington,
carrying his official head under his arm,
and the true cause of his offense was
learned, the plucky Collector returned in
triumph to Lynchburg with his head npon
his shoulders, and was selected as Blaine
delegate to Cincinnati. The attempt to
belittle the President and his administra.
tons by partisan politicians claiming their
influence, was checked seriously in the case
referred to. Gen. Grant is as he should be,
impartially neutral.

WHEN the cost of the Clymer investi-
eating committee has been summed up,
those Democrats who have been loud in
their shout for economy, will surely be
amazed. Armies of witnesses, who actually
know nothing, have been summoned from
all parts of the country. The position of
witness before the committee is much
sought after by impecunious politicians
1t pays we'll, and is complete sinecure
1t is being dispensed freely by party lead
ers to their hungry followers. Whenever
party adherent is to be rewarded, all that
need be done is to hand in his name as a
witness before the committee. The fur
Their away he is, the better; his mileage
bill is larger. Mr.. Bass, one of the Repub-
lican members of the COMMITTEE, long since
became disguised with it and left. Mr.
Danford, the other Republican, will ask to
be relieved this week. Even Mr.. Robbins,
one of the Democratic members, stays away
from the meetings, and ere long Clymer

ceeded in earning the contempt of all

rage over tops all others. This was the

to it, had it refused to obey this writ, the

PRESIDENT GRANT gives as a reason for
vetoing the bill decreasing the Presidents
salary from $50, 900 to $25, 900 after March
4th, 1877, that justice to his successor con-
strains him to withhold his assent; that
the cost of living in Washington has been
greatly augmented since the war. He also
intimates rather pointedly that the salary
of the President has not kept pace with
the advanced salaries of members of Con-
gress, and states that when the Presiden-
tial salary was fixed, members of Congress
received six dollars day, and that their
salaries had been increased from time to
time until they now receive thirty dollars
per day for each day of actual service, COM
putting each session at five months each
