Then again it will be crhel to the mourn-
ers now for the Democratic steam whistles
to be constantly screaming in the public ear
denunciations against General GRANT and
what has been characterized ms the GRANT
boom, for GRANT is dead politically, or
they are false to truth. Crsarism is
dead the GRANT army is disbanded,
GRANTS Colors are struck, GRANTS artil-
lery is spiked, his Notifications are dis
mautled, and his boom is sunk in perpetual
silence and gloom. Sad end; but what u

Confederate Democracy to know so posi-
lively that the lion is dead, and that it is
the poor privilege OF every Democratic
donkey to give his inanimate carcass a kick

Party tactics in Washington are becoming puerile
On both sides the disposition to set traps for the
opposite party to fall into is much more apparent
than any disposition to get through with the pub
lie business in hand.

A NUMBER of the more idiotic than the
average of anti-GRANT scribblers in the
Democratic press are raising great hula
baloo Just now over those Arabian stations.
They assert with unblushing elrontery
that he is the first President Of the United
States who has ever received presents of
any kind from foreign powers or potentates,
and cite the virtuous example of ANDREW
JACKSON in declining TO receive such gifts
by way of comparison. They either forget
or purposely overlook the fact that General
GRANT is not President now, and that he is
simply private citizen-nothing more and
nothing less. Were he an official of the
Government he would be precluded, with
out an enabling act from Congress, from ac-
cepting them; but as it is he is privileged to
do as he pleases, the only risk he runs being
the displeasure of the idiots to whom we
have referred. The average American citi-
zen, however, appreciates these gifts as so
many compliments bestowed upon the coun-
try at large through the medium of fell
low-citzen whose name and fame has added
brilliant repute and moral strength 70 the
principles Of republican government the
world over.

II the LEssuPs-WYsE Darien Canal pro-
ject is to be carried out without Brother
JONATHAN having finger in the pic the
American people will be greatly disappoint-
ed. Since Mr. EvARTs has been in office as
Secretary of State he has negotiated one
very commendable supplemental treaty with
Japan, aud il is understood that he has
other negotiations pending with other Pow
ers for the advancement of American inter-
ests generally. 1t is to he hoped, especially
in view of the fact that he is trying to make
his administration of the Department mota-
BILE for its especial fostering Of our CONNER
cial interests, that he is not overlooking this
canal business. The idea OF q canal across
the Isthmus of Panama under the sole con-
troll of European governments is one that
will not prove to he acceptable to the aver
| age American citizen.
