wAsHIN GToN.
Imprudence of General Grant.
REPUBLICANS DELIGHTED.
A CHANGE IN THE ATTITUDE OF
CONGRESSMEN.
WASHINGTON, April IL.

WAsHINGToN, April IL.
, The stalwart Republicans, so called,
are a little troubled in Their minds
about certain imprudence OF General
Grant. They complain among them
selves that Il General seems to be
writing too many letters, and thai he
is committing himself in a way which
NAV make his nomination in 1880 en-
barrassing, or even impossible. There
is reason to believe that several warn
ing letters are on the way to the Gen
eral, urging him to keep still: on the
other side, the Democrats think them
selves to have settled very felicitously
the question of Tilden's nomination in
1880. 1t is impossible, they say, be
cause the Democratic party is solemnly
pledged to the one term amendment,
and this is Tilden's first term.
A Worlds Washington correspond
ent saws the Republicans generally
seem quite delighted to-day over the
result of the joint Republican caucus.
Some say the temper shown against
such malcontentS as Howe and Sar-
gent is so strong that the President will
profit by it, and from this time forth
there is bound to be a better feeling
between Republicans in Congress and
| the Executive. Those opposed to him
| had represented that they would be
able to pass a resolution in caucns
denouncing the Administration as un-
worthy the confidence of the Republi
can party, while it turned out that the
only venture in that direction was a
resolution from Sargent, who leaves
public life with this Congress, and
which was buried in committee caucus,
also shows that all the talk in con
f~erences of Republican Senators, which
has been held lately about the general
arraignment of the President, is TO GO
for naught. Such a policy, If it was
really considered, has fallen flat with
Howe's speech in the Senate, and the
TRADE of Sargent in the caucus. The
President is also reported to be much
pleased with the new turn of affairs.
| He said to an Ohio Republican mem
Der to might, that he proposed to live
up to the principles set forth in the
Cincinnati platform, which he thought
would make him a good enough Re
publican for any member OF his party.
An Inter Ocean Washington CORES
pondent says: Within the past few
DAYS a remarkable change has taken
place in the attitude of a great major
ity of Congressman toward the Presi.
dent, owing to some imperceptible in
%1uence, and the caucus last night de-
veloped that it was nothing OF any
particular importance said or done,
but was the revelation of a kinder feel
ing toward the President than was
supposed to exist. The speech OF
Congressman Williams, of Wisconsin,
at the caucus, was n of the mos
lengthy in opposition to Mr.. Sargent's
resolution, and a very correct express
sion of the general sentiment. His
remarks surprised people, who sup
posed he was one OF the most extreme
opponents of the President, and the
| substance of them is quite freely
quoted to day. He confessed to hav-
ing been of the most radical in his dis
sent from the policy, but would not do
anything to produce discord or diviS-
ion in the party. He considered the
Presidents order regarding office
holders in politics unwise, but thought
the resolutions of ~Sargeapt's asking
the President to rescind it, equally I'M
wise. He would be gland to have ac.
complished what was intended to be
accomplished by the resolutions, hut
believed the course would fail and the
breach be widened by their adoption.
The general sentiment is about as one
Senator to-day expressed it: 81 re-
gard some of Hayes acts as nothing
less than criminal ; but not committed,
however, / believe, with criminal in
tent, and / have criticised, and will
criticise them, while criticism will ac-
complish any good; but am not going
to lead or follow any movement that
will lead to a rupture in the party.
We can stand Hayes much better than
a divisions; it is a bad way TO prevent a
cure for family difference by divorce

complete exhaustion. At the
time OF his death there was no strug-

his head lying upon the arm of keeper
Kiernen, who had been h%urridly sum
