ical elevation principally to the popular es-
tecm which his military ronown had brought
him, aud cach was untitled in sone degrea
for tho discharge Of political dutios by his
military education. GnAsr wns in civil life
hardly less stubborn than MAcMAnoS, hard
iy less confident Of his orn Judgment, and
not at a1l loss Jealous OF Lis perBonnl
prorogatiye. But as GnAHrs military rec
ord is much moro brilliant than that
Of MAoAtAuos, 80, un1oss all present indica-
tions fail, will hia civil li1o b. regarded as
noblar when tie livesof both men are finally
mado up. Tho American President always
stopped on tho right sido Of imprudence ;
the French President has not always lona
so. Ths American had thoroughly at heart
tho welfare Of Ills countryinen and the por-
manenoy OF Republican institutions; tho
FrenchmAn Is chiefly concerned about tile
Church and tho dynasty Of tho DoSArAnTxs.
It would be wholesome thing, perhaps, for
tho two Presidents ii they con!d exchange
viewB freely on political subjects, without
reference to official etiquette. Gen. GRANT
might give MAcMAuoN lessons in statccraft
for, though America laa wiser politicians
than qaAar, 1t hns mono atupider than MAC.
