But, then, Gen. Grant said even more
for the South before he was elected Presi-
dent the first time. And what followed?
His first act was to remove Gen. Han
cock from the military division Of Lou
isiana and Texas because he recognized
the superiority Of the civil over the mil
itary power, and Of the people to trial
by jury, freedom Of speech and of the
other essentials of free government.

THE PEOPLE POR BLAINE.
INTERVIEW WITH Hon. CHARLES j. VII
LIAMs, OF WISCONSIN.

'.Our people have no caprices or grudges !;
they do not forget the fame OF General
Grant nor the homage which has just been
paid him in foreign countries as the most
distinguished Of American citizens. Secre-
tary sherman has many friends among our
people, and they have full confidence In
his Republicanism, his integrity and capac-
ity for that high office; but think that
the masses Of our Republicans-thosew who
have summered and wintered with the
party from its birth, and who work with q
vim in canvass-are overwhelmingly for
Mr.. Blaine, Somehow they feel that he Ia
entitled to Ii. They see that his services
are not only required, but commanded In
every campaign, from Maine to Iowa, and
he always responds with will He never
shirks responsibility, but renders his ser
vices as cheerfuly for others as for him
self. and takes the brnnt Of the light,
whether opponents be few or many. Our
people like that.
IL used TO be said that while Blaine
could lead in the turbulent House OF Rep
resentatives, he would lack the selfpoise
necessary in the Senate; that Is said no
longer. 1t Is no disparagement to any
of the eminent statesmen In that eminent
body TO say that he has shown himself the
peer of the most eminent OF them all.
He has just been tested in his own State

THE LAWS FOR PROTECTION. - Judge
Pinckney, of the Criminal Court OF Balti-
more, delivered very strong and sensible
charge TO grand Jury few days ago. In
the course OF his remarks he said: 1T Is
not unfrequent that u trial miscarries be-
cause OF some Jaw In the indictment, or q
variance, a. Il il called, In the evidence
which cannot be cured by an amendment.
For this state OF the law an excuse existed
formerly in England, when there were
more than 200 capital ofenses, in the nat
ural desire Of judges and lawyers that as
many persons as possible, whether inno-
cent or guilty, should escape the outrage
Gus cruelty Of verdict OF guilty, which
might consign 70 the Gaiiows perhaps q
mother who had stolen penny's worth OF
bread 10 satisfy the hunger Of q starving
child. But all this Is now changed, and,
instead Of the fear OF the innocent being
convicted, the scandal OF the law Is that SO
many OF the guilty escape punishment.
The States Attorney, then, should be al
lowed by law TO amend his indictment al
the trial Except, perhaps, In capital
ofenses), according TO the proof In the
cause, whenever an amendment would no,
prejudice the defendant In his defense on
the merits. In that case the Court might
have power TO discharge the jury without
Il verdict and TO postpone the case"
