Gen. Custer Relieved Will the Presi.
dent Think Twice

II IL reported from Washington that the
President has relieved Gen. CUSTER from
his command.
Gen. Cu7vER was called to Washington
by a summons of the House of Represent
atives TO testify before one of its commit
tees. or course Gen. CUSTER appeared, as
he was bound TO do. And being called
upon to testify, he testified to the truth.
That truth was very damaging to the War
Department.
Gen. CUSTER was about 10 start on an
expedition against the Indians. The Presi-
dent has relieved him from the command
OF that expedition. Gen. SHERMAN and
the Secretary of War have both protested
against his being relieved; but all in vain.
The committee have granted leave to
Gen. CUSTER 10 return to his command,
and there is nothing in the way of his
doing so except the objection of the Presi-
dent.
The dis a.isssc'ior Of the President with
Gen. CUSTER is attributed entirely to the
fact thu. Gen. CUsTER's testimony exposed
the frauds prevailing under the Admins
tration. BY his action in this matter Gen.
GRANT has taken clear and distinct ground
in favor OF covering up the frauds of his
officers. Ii is the first time the President
has openly taken ground in favor OF sup
pressing the truth. He was accused of
being the author Of the Attorney C eneral s
letter discouraging states evidence; but
he took pains to disclaim all responsibility
for IT,.
We are sorry to see this action on the
part OF Gen. GRANT. 1t has tendency TO
strengthen the suspicion Of his own com
plicity In some Of the frauds. If he is in
nocent, he will do well to think twice be-
fore he determines TO adhere TO his decis-
ion To relieve Gen. CUSTER.
II was reported from Washington day
or two since that the President was very
i'll. Possibly when this order was given he
had not fully recovered from the effects of
his illness. II is TO be hoped that the ex-
PLANTATION OF his extraordinary attempt to
punish an homes, witness is to be found in
a temporary arrangement Of his own sys-
TEN. The President may have been rem
dered irritable by the cold water thrown
on his political prospects lately. 1t is said
that like cures like: let him try taking
more internally.

Mondays Impeachment Proceedings.

Mr.. CARPENTER and his more dignifed
colleague, Mr.. BLAIR, got the better of
the Managers in the argument on the
right to open and close before the Senate
on Monday.
A person accused of crime ought always,
even OH the main argument, to enjoy the
right to close the discussion. The prac-
tice and the law are the other wnv. The
rule In civil proceedings is that the party
holding the Affirmative Is entitled TO open
and close in maintenance of his plea. By
analogy the same doctrine is held to apply
TO criminal proceedings. But IL is not just.
Lawyers know full well the tremendous
disadvantage Mt which n person charged
with an offence is put by being deprived of
all opportunity to answer the principal
argument made against him. And fire.
quently the denunciation of the prose-
cution is supplemented by an adverse and
one-sided charge from the bench. The
humane presumption of the law that
every person is to be held innocent until
proved to be guilty is reduced, practically,
TO little more than fiction, and criminal
trials are conducted substantially on the
assumption that accusations are presumed
to be true.
In our judgment, and this has been the
opinion OF many great jurists, the law
ought to be changed, so rs 10 give the ac-
cused the right TO close the argument on
the question Of his guilt Then the charge
should he us free from bias US II is possible
for human nature TO make tiff, indeed,
the practice formerly prevailing in Rhode
Island he not fairer, TO submit the case TO
the jury without any charge whatever
from the Court
The discussion on Monday, in the BEL
KNAP impeachment. was only on the right
to open and close the argument on the
preliminary question of the jurisdiction
of the court, and this is decided in favor
of the respondent. To the strength Of the
arguments in behalf of Mr.. BELKNAP, was
added the weakness OF Mr.. HoAR's speech
OIL the side of the Managers. Mr. HoAR
said:
II In any respect the rue Of order existing in a

An advocate so oblivious to the partisan
character OF Courts OF Impeachment in
this country as to assert their superior
fairness over that OF common jury may
be possessed Of an active Imagination, but
he speaks in open disregard Of the teach
iugs of history and the common sense OF
mankind

pledges OF the delegates are not the only

I'Ilden.

There are many and strong reasons in
favor Of tile nomination of SAMUEL J. TIL
DEN as the Democratic candidate for Presi-
dent Of the United States. The strongest
OF these is his complete identification with
the cause OF reform. The requirements
and personal accomplishments BETTING TO
the oiiice, he possesses; and there can he
no doubt that he would administer its high
duties to the best of his ability.
There are, however, we are sorry to say,
grave obstacles in the way of both the
nomination ana tie election of Mr.. TILDES,
In addition to that Of the strength OF the
Republican party. The greatest of these is
the disafIection, toward himself, which he
has engendered it seems to us to large
extent unnecessarily i in the ranks OF the
Democratic party in his own State. This
remark applies particularly to the leading
men in the party. This may have been
unavoidable so far rs concerns n section of
the Democratic party supposed TO be aifili-
ated to what is called the Canal Ring; but
what necessity was there for the alienation

II is an open secret, II indeed it can be
called a secret any longer, that all these

means or other, hostile to Mr.. TIL

The Anu-Catholic Movement still
Active.

We learn that the Republicans in Wash
ington are spreading broadcast over the
country, as n political document, a sermon
of the Rev. J. u. NEWMAN, the pastor of
President GRANT, and the same clergyman
who by the Presidents appointment re-
Gently travelled around the world to ex-
anime into the condition of Consulates.
This sermon is entitled "Religious Lib
erty \ Free Church in Free Country"
Like another pamphlet, which, us we I'M
derstand, also proceeded from the pen of
DIR. NEWMAN, and which bore the title of
"Naticansm In Germany and i'll the
United States" IL is aimed at the Roman
Catholic Church, and breathes political
rather more than a religious antagonism
The National Republican Committee,
composed Of gentlemen in both branches
OF Congress, and other conspicuous friends
OF President GRANT, furnish the money
for the circulation of these documents;
and they are distributed under the direct
management Of Mr.. ]. NJ. EDMCNDs, Post
master of Washington, and especially
known rs the particular, intimate friend
OF Nj. CHANDLER, the Secretary Of the
Interior. Hundreds Of thousands of these
pamphlets were sent into Ohio last fall,
and into Connecticut and New Hampshire
this spring.
IL II has been supposed anywhere that
the great demonstration Of hostility TO the
Catholic Church, of which President GRANT
sounded the keynote in his famous speech
nj Des MOines, has been abandoned or re-
laxed the supposition is entirely mistaken.
Ii is evident that the attempt to identify
the whole Republican party with this hos
tiity is now to be urged more vigorously
than ever. This is TO be done. doubtless,
not only because it is believed that great
weight of political strength may be added
TO the resources of the party through the
effect of the anti-Catholic sentiment, but
also because IL is thought that by raising
such Ill issue into greater and greater
prominence, public attention may be di-
verted from the almost incredible corrup-
ton OF the Government, and from the
enormous and pressing dangers which that
corruption brings upon the country.
The power of this anti-Catholic move
ment is great, much greater than a super
fetal observer can suppose. 1t undoubt-
eddy produced a very noteworthy effect in
Ohio last fall, and contributed much to
the election of Gov. HAYES and to the de-
feat of the Democratic party there. 1t
was felt, too, and seriously felt, in the cleo
tons of March in New Hampshire and OF
April in Connecticut. Who can tell what
its effect will be upon the more momentous
election in November
