HOW THE ENGLISH RADICALS FEEL
TOWARD GRANT.

]
radicals in contemplation of the fact of Grant
presence in England and the honors bestowed
upon him there, We quote as follows from
| Reynolds Newspaper of June 3, inst. g We
| have been accustomed for many years, says
that paper, " to have such a set of royal rap
scallions landed upon our shores, and received
with a sickening amount of municipal and
and other toadyism, that it is quite refreshing
to have the ex-ruler of perhaps the greatest
country of the world amongst us. We made
ourselves Supremacy ridiculous in the eyes of
the world by believing till we were black in
the face when that rntfanly, rascally, rapa-
cious semi barbarian, the Shah of Persia,
showed his sinister countenance in London.
1t was pretty much the same sort of thing
with the ex- Emperor of France, Louis Napo-
leon, when he was kicked off the throne after
plunging France into a needless and disas-
trous war, and landed at Dover fresh from
defeat, and covered with disgrace and dis
honour Most of the royal rascals that have
been recipients of civic hospitality after leav-
ing their country for their countrys good
were loaded with plumber, Some bolted with
the Crown jewels, the rightful property of the
people; others unscrewed the maachite
handles from the doors and windows of their
palaces before abdicating, and pocketed all
the silver spoons and forks they could lay
hands on. Now at length we have an honest
ex-ruler amongst US; but quite of another
stamp to the shahs, the cars, the emperors,
and the kings that, either throned or de-
thrOne1, have come hither. We alude to ex-
President Grant, who landed at Liverpool on
Monday last. General Grant, unlike the
present President of France, is both a great
soldier and an honest man. Is was he who
brought the protracted civil war between
North and South to a glorious termination
for the former 1t was by his agency that
the greatest curse which ever afflicted a noble
country, slavery, was abolished and swept
clean away. General after general had tried
to reduce the Southerners to submission, and
failed" At the conclusion of this vigorous
editorial We find the following:
Royal persons, when they retire from their
posts, or are kicked out of them, are generally
followed with the well-merited execratons of
the people. General Grants departure from
America on his temporary visit to Europe has
afforded the people an opportunity for show
ing how much they honoured and respected
their late ruler. Cheers, not curses, followed
his footsteps as he embarked on board the
Indiana. And now we have the rare specta-
Gle of man who but lately governed a great
country coming amongst us without bringing
away with him millions of plumber, or with
hands dyed red in the blood of his fellow
Of course he will be subjected
to the usual outburst of funkeyism that fol
lows the footsteps of celebrities in England
Possibly the freedom of the City viii be
proffered him, and he will be invited to a guz-
zle at Guildhall Perchance General Grant
will accept these houours, but as a sensible |
man he cannot fail to feel how greatly their |
value is deterorated by having been previously |
upon such tyrants as Nicholas o.
Russia, Louis Napoleon o. France, and that |
barbarian, the Shah o. Persia.
