the Generals brother ORvIL would not an
swcr. The idea was recently suggested by
Mr.. ORvIL l.. GRANT himself. In an inter-
view with newspaper correspondent, he
went on to tell what he would do If he were
President. Some OF the things he would do
were not very bad He would remove the
present Cabinet. That would be good.
Whether his appointment of n new Cabinet
would be good or bad is not quite 50 clear;
though it may reasonably bc inferred from
his remarks that he would have Mr.. CONK-
LIMO for Secretary of State, if he could get
him.
We do not mean TO say that Mr.. ORv1L l..
GRANT would be the most suitable man for
President in the United States but we do
not see why he should not make as good
President as his brother ULYSSES. Their
father had u great deal more confidence In
OIvIL than he had in ULYSSES, and man
ought to be acquainted with his own sons.
At the time Of the breaking out of the war,
ORV1L was man Of much greater cOnsc-
qucnco in the town whore they were both
living. ORvIL was carrying on q large bu7i-
ness in leather oak tanned while ULYSSES
was mere clerk and salesman for him.
Besides having more head for business,
we think ORvIL has more heart also. Our
readers must have been touched by ORv1L's
remark, in the interview which we printed
the other day. that his brother ULYSSES,
during the eight years he was President,
never helped him to a cent Not only Is this
true, but there Is something worse to be
added to It. When, mistakng the way to
his hotel, ORvIL appeared in the early gray
light Of one morning at police station in
St Louis with his stovcpipc hat all stove In,
ULYSSES did not 50 much as make him
present of a new beaver, although, just be-
fore the war, when ULYSSES walked into
ORvIL's store at Galcna in very dilapi-
dated condition. ORvIL promptly and gem
crously gave him an order ON a tailor over
across the way, for whole new suit Of
clothes.
1t appears to US that II the Republicans
must have q GRANT they might better try

A suit with some peculiar features has
recently been decided by the Supreme Court Of
North Carolina. One KEEH1N. who was u Post
master at Salem. n. c., in June. 1861, held Mt
that time money due to the United States to the
amount OF $3.50. One BAHNsoS. n mail con-
tractor. had n claim against tho United
States Post ONCE Department for n larger
amount. The contractor applied to the
Postmaster TO pay over the money to
him. This KEEuLN refused TO do with
out an order from the then recently formed
Confederate government The order was OBJ
taincd and the money turned over to tho mail
contractor After the close Of tho war kEfI1LN
was compelled to pay to the Post Ollce Depart
ment the full amount. and the conrac-
tor applied for and received compensa-
ton for his services in full. no account
