The Massachusetts Republican Conven-

man, resolved that GRANT was entitled to
the gratitude OF the country for resisting
encroachments upon his prerogative by
the Democratic House OF Representative s.
These encrQachments consisted OF lnvesti-

monopoly upon terms less advantageous
to the Government than their own original
rejected bid. Now, IL there was any
rational explanation of this remarkable
conduct on the part Of Mr.. boutwell,. it
was plainly the duty of that sub-commit-
teo to find ii out. But it did nothing OF the
kind. On the contrary, it set itself like a
niut TO prevent DEVELOPMENTS.
HUTCHINSON, Kohl 4 Co. were the heart
of the Ring. The company is mere out
growth OF that firm. They have been for
years favorites of the Treasury Depart
ment, and long before the date of the lease,
they had practically .monopolized the
business OF seal taking with the corrupt
connivance of Government officials. But
in 1863 they were sued for n division of
profits by certain parties in san Francisco,
who had previously prosecuted joint ad-
venture with them. They offered TO set
tie and did settle, by dividing with their
late partners thrce-nfths only OF the profits,
alleging by way OF explanation that they
were compelled TO pay over to Secretary
boutwell, the other two-lfths. A letter,
from n reputable merchant OF san Fran
cisco, rectiug this statement as IL fell from
the lips Of the company's own attorney,
was filed with the subcommittee, but was
afterward excluded. The names OF two
eminent lawyers Of San Francisco, saw
YEN and LUKE, who were oognizant OF
this charge circumstantially made against
Mr. boutwell, by his Ring proteges, were
furnished to the committee. but the COM
mittee refused to call them. In fact and in
brief the committee refused to issue any
subpoena for any witness against either
boutwell, or the Ring. and the whole in
vestigation, SO called, was q sham and n
farce. Whoever, therefore, has reason to
complain of the House of Representatives,
Mr.. boutwell, has none. Its committee
dealt with him very tenderly. IL ii had
performed its whole duty, he might not
now have felt inclined to appear in public
even when disguised in II bloody shirt.
Nevertheless, we wish it understood that
THE SUN makes no charge OF corruption
against Mr.. boutwell, in this matter. The
Seal Ring made the charge to serve n tenn
porary purpose but If true, il furnishes a
complete explanation OF their extraordi-
nary power over him.

Dix and TIlden.

We are sorry TO see that Centennial DIX
exhibits such rancor toward Gov. TILDES.
lie seems to lose his temper and his head
both when the Governors name is men
toned.
Centennial DIX made q speech to n lot
OF Boys in Blue the other night, in
which he applied TO Mr.. TILDEN all the
hard words he could think of. Such Ian
guage has no justification in the facts of
Gov. TILDEN's career or in good taste. 1t
is unbecomng Centennial DIX, who has
lived long enough in New York to know
and must know that there IL no citizen of
tho metropolis held in higher esteem by
his fellow citizens who know anything
about him than Mr. TILDEN, or whose pro-
fessional character is more unblemished,
or whose public services have been greater
than his.
Centennial DIX himself bears among us
the reputation Of man who has always
held Office, passing from one party to an
other, and from one lucrative place under
the public or under private corporations
to another; lifelong oificeholder, in fact {;
a soldier of the war of 1872 who still draws
his pension. though abundantlv rich; a
General of the war of the rebellion who
always had a soft place away from tho
enemy's bullets; and n man who has got
from the people certainly as much as he
ever gave them. He is n pretty man TO
assail Gov. TILDEN, especially after having
before, on n conspicuous public occasion,
paid him high and deserved praise. At
tho Inauguration of Gov. TILDEN. on the
first OF January, 1875, Gen. DIX thus adj
dressed his successor:
"while a material progress has been made
during the last two years In the correction OF
abuses, much remains to he done, and the DIS
tinruished part you nave borne In municipal re-
form In the city OF New York gives assurance
that, under YOUR auspices, the great interests 81
the state of New York will be vigilantiy
guarded
Centennial DIX elsewhere in the same
address spoke Of Gov. TrLDEN's ability,
| integrity. and firmness," ana throughout
manifested proper appreciation OF the
| distinguished character and services OF
| the man whom he now reviles. Who has
changeds Surely not GOV. TILDEN. 1t
must be Gen. DIX.
In point of real ability and the capacity
to accomplish results, unsensh political
| labors, and intellectual acumen, Gov. TIL.
DEN is Centennial DIx's superior, though
II has for half n century been felt by the
public rs a sort of duty to take care of the
now aged perpetual ofnceholder. He prob
ably feels sore that the people gave him
to understand at the last State election
| that they didn't wish him any longer, and
| that he might retire permanently to West
| Hampton aud his snipe shooting.
