Grant IInmaSked.

The Boston Post, commenting on
Grants Chicago interview, says: "The
man Grant stands out in all his charac-
teristic and obtrusive selfishness in the
interview respecting the Senatorial
struggle in New York, which ne has
unwisely permitted to be given TO the
public. He is in remarkably bad humor.
He is as unreasonable as petulant, and
as whimsical as a spoiled child. He
shows no respect for any law superior to
his own will, and, above all, does he
betray that contempt for the people and
the peoples right to choose their own
rulers and representatives that great
man never even feels, and much less ex-
presses. But Grant is not great man, and
he certainly is not to be reckoned as a
particularly good one. Every time that
he rashly comes out of his sphinx like
reticence and manifests his true nature,
he is merely gross and captious fellow
with very vulgar manners and spoiled
temper. The idea that a considerable
number of Americans could have ever
thought of and worked for this man,
with view TO giving him another term
of the Presidency, is CROUCH to make
one shudder. And yet it is more than
probable that Garfield has an unsettled
account with him, which he is trying to
repudiate, after the manner of his friend
Malone"
Savannah morning news. [volume] (Savannah) 1868-1887, 1881-06-20

General Grant says he wrote to Presi-
dent Garfield, asking him to send Broth
er-in-law Cramer to Spain, Belgium or
Portugal A brief examination will re-
veal the modesty of this request. Broth
er-in-law Cramer was at that time
Charge d'Affaires at Copenhagen, at a
salary of 5000. To send him to Spain
would be to make him full Minister at
a salary of $12, 900; to send him to Bel
GUM would be to make him Minis
ter Resident at a salary of $500; to send
him to Portugal would be to give
him a similar position to the one he was
holding at the same salary. To send
him to any of these places, it would be
necessary TO remove the incumbents, and
General Grant complained in his cele
brated letter to Jones because son of
his old friend Fish had been removed,
after he resigned, to make room for a
new man. All this simply shows that
the Grant idea of appointments is identi-
cal with the Conkling idea. namely, that
1.-THE Government of the United States
and all its emoluments and offices belong
to me and my friends forever. If any
body else gets anything, make a row."

asenatoriai Courtesy. /"

This is the aphoristical kant of the
hypocritIcal demagogues of ''stalwart-
ism, to express their usurpation of the
right TO fill the high offices of the coun-
try and enable them to plumber the
national and State treasures. Properly
expressed the Senatorial courtesy"
claimed by Conkling and Grant should
read about thus: By the grace of the
President, Senators of the United States
are, and should be, allowed to ma
nipulate and plumber the offices
filed by his appointment in
their States, without let or hindrance
from said President, he having been
raised to that high position in very COM
pliment to his exalted fitness for the dis
charge of said duty. Now it seems to
honest men that the President of the
United States who yields to such de-
mand is p1rticeps crinainis in the transac-
tions resulting from it, and ought to be
held responsible accordingly. 1t is by
such infractions of the law
gradual. stealthy, smiling, graceful,
g courteous that avarice and
greed for power corrupt the fountains
of justice. break down the safeguards of
wisdom, and lay bare the foundations of
unsuspecting freedom and independence.
Infraction becomes precedent, precedent
grows into custom, and custom claims
the authority of law. Disguise is then
no longer necessary; impunity mas tri-
umphed over jealousy and patriotism;
tyranny stalks forth in broad-open day
light, and the dragon of revolution lifts
its hideous form into the arena.
Revolutions are terrible things when
bloody, but they generally clean out the
''Augean stables" and, after all, it is
difficult to say which is the most intol-
cradle, bloody revolution or the Auge-
an stables Nothing is SO time honored
or sacred as to escape pollution where
society has been corrupted-no law, Gus
tom or precedent so well established as
to remain mistaken by the storms and
tempests of human passion. Wisdom
may construct and patriotism long de-
fend the stately edifce of Freedom, but
keen-eyed avarice will thread all its ave-
uues, and bold ambition lay siege to its
doors.

The Atlantic Cables

The new cables of the American Cable
Company will be in operation within a
few months, and it is predicted that this
additional telegraphic connection of the
two continents will reduce the charge
per word between London and New
York to twenty-five cents, and possibly
as low as twelve and half cents. 1t is
claimed that the existing cables-three
belonging to the Anglo American Com
pany, one to the Direct Cable Company
and one to the French Company-are
sufficient to transmit double all the bust
ness now done; that in addition to the
five named-of which four are duplex
another cable of the Anglo American
Company is soon to be repaired,
which will make, in fact, eleven
separate lines five duplex and one
single. On the nth day of next
August it will be just twenty three years
since the first message was sent across
the first ocean telegraph line. The direc-
tors of the Atlantic Telegraph Company
at London telegraphed the New York
directors: Europe and America are
united by telegraph. Glory to God in
the highest; on earth peace and good
will toward men," Queen Victoria
Immediately afterwards sent a congratu-
latory message to President Buchanan,
to which the latter as promptly replied.
In 1S42 Prof Morse laid an experimental
cable from Castle Garden to Governors
Island, and in 1850 cable connection
between France and England was made.
Since the opening of the Atlantic cable,
in 1853, all the countries of the world
have been connected by telegraph.

Gen. Grants Convenient Memory.

ten. GrantS CONVENIENT MemOTg.
General Grants memory seems to be
strangely at fault In recent interview
at Chicago he said: when was acting
as President, if a single Senator from
any State objected to an appointment it
was not made, although some Cabinet
officers might have favored it." 1t is a
well known fact that the opposition of
both Senators from Massachusetts and
the Vice President did not prevent him
from appointing Simmons Collector of
Customs at Boston. OF the whole Con-
gressional delegation only General But
Ter favored the appointment. But there
was another case of still greater signifi-
canoe. In the first year of General
Grants first administration it was ru-
mored that he intended to remove one
of the Supervisors of Internal Revenue
and to put a man of bad reputation
in his place. Both Senators from the
respective State protested against the
change; large majority of the Congress
sional delegation did the same; the
Chamber of Commerce and large num-
Der of merchants of the principal city in
that State did the same; the Secretary of
the Treasury, on account OF the bad
character of the man, was reluctant to
make the appointment, but against all
these protests President Grant ordered
the appointment to be made. 1t was
that of John Mcdonald, who soon after
ward became the chief of the notorious
whisky ring in the West, who was con-
victed and sent to the penitentiary, and
who now declares that Grant was per-
sonally interested in the profits of the
ring of which he was made the scape-
pOat

The Radical Middle in New Hamp-
shire

The seeds of a faction fight have been
sewn IN the New Hampshire Senatorial
matter 1t was predicted when the nomi-
nation of VIM. E. Chandler for United
States Solicitor General was defeated by
the Senate that he would either secure
Mr.. Rollins seat ia that body or start a
faction fight in New Hampshire Repub-
lican politics, any the latter part of the
prediction is already fulfilled. That it
will be hot fight, no one who has noted
the general "cantankerousness" of Mr.
Chambers political methods can doubt,
and in his campaign he will not only have
the general aid of the administration but
the personal advice of Secretary Blaine,
whose leading worker" he has long been.
On the other hand, Senator Rollins has
several important advantages. He can
put out large corruption fund, and his
occupancy of the Senatorship will be no
insignificant aid to his canvass. That
he is not devoid of a knowledge of po-
litical strategy is demonstrated by the
peculiar ease and great celebrity with
which he obtained an opinion from the
State Supreme Court in support of his
claim as to the proper date for the Sena-
torial election. So, the fight will not be
onesided by any means, and it is not
impossible that the result of it will be
the choice of a Democratic Legislature.
But the election does not occur until
next year.

Good Talk for Grant and COnkling.

The New York Tribune says ut is
very difficult to conceive of a lower or
more degrading conception of public af-
fairs than that which Gen. Grant seems
from his talk to have. Apparently he
conceives that the sole object of politi.
cal party is to put some individuals into
the enjoyment of fat offices, and
that the Republican party ought
to have no higher aim in life than to
bow at the feet of L. S. Grant and
Roscoe Conkling" 1t adds that since
he has quit the sphinx business his repu-
tation for wisdom is gone, and that
people who once supported him are
now ashamed of it"
This sort of talk, says the st. Louis
Republican, used to be rank treason, and
the lives of men who INDUCED in it we've
only spared through sheer merciful-
ness.

Lincoln's Old Law Partner a Pauper.

Bill Herndon is a pauper at Spring
field, ILL., He was once worth considera-
bic property. His mind was the most
argumentative of any Of the old lawyers
in the State and his memory was extra
ordinary. For several years before Lin
coin was nominated for the Presidency
Herndon was in some respects the most
active member of The firm, preparing
the greatest number of cases for trial and
making elaborate arguments IN their
behalf. 1t is said that he worked
hard with Lincoln in preparing the
memorial speeches delivered by the man
who afterward became President during
the debates between Lincoln and Douglas
in 1858, and in constructing the Cooper
Institute address delivered by Lincoln a
short time before the war. Herndon,
with all his attainments, was a man who
now and then went on a spree, and it
was no uncommon thing for him to leave
an important law suit and spend several
days in drinking and carousing. This
habit became worse after Lincoln's death,
and, like poor Dick Yates, Herndon
went down step. by step till his old
friends and associates point to him as a
common drunkard.

Without a Parallel.

Roscoe Conkling's case, it seems to
us, is without precedent or parallel.
Such thing was possible only in Ameri
can politics and among oficeholders of
a thoroughly corrupt party. That a
proud, naughty leader of a great, victo-
rious party should Indignantly resign a
high office and Immediately turn about
and enter into most scurrillous and dis
graceful contest for its recovery, is a
spectacle, we believe, that only Ameri-
cans may witness and only Republicans
endure. The educational requirements
of Mr.. Conkling, his brilliant natural
talents, his fattering successes
aud great influence, evidently con
spired with his intolerable vani-
", egotism and false pride,
to mould him into political monstrosi
ty. No other man, even in the Republi-
can party, after resignation under the
circumstances which attended his, would
have dared to go before the Legislature
of his offended State and attempt to
"bulldoze" it into his re election-and we
venture to say no other even tolerably
decent man in America could have mus
tered the shameless audacity to show his
face in political circles after the exposure
of his laundering trickery. A proud and
noble spirit, seeking the right, like the
noble lion-having leaped and missed his
prey, would have retired grandly. and
with dignity awaited returning opportu-
nity.

Why Bradley Peached.

The Troy On. " Press advances a
new theory of the Bradley-Sessions
bribery case. 1t says: Undoubtedly,
last week, before Bradley was paid
$4,000 by Sessions, he declared that he
was tired of voting for Conkling and
Platt. This declaration was perhaps
meant as an intimation that he was will
ing to sell. Last week the current price
for a vote for Senator was s., 900.
1t is not asking the reader to believe
too much when he is told that probably
Sessions, knowing Bradley's DISPOSE.
ton to be converted, asked and received
So, 600 to be paid to Bradley. 1t
is entirely consistent with Sessions gen.
eral line of conduct to suppose that he
gave Bradley s.. 900, and kept the other
$4,000 for himself Perhaps Bradley
found that he had been cheated, and in
his anger went to Speaker Sharpe, in
stead of going back to the Senator and
threatening exposure if the balance of
the bribe money was not paid to him.
Unless Bradley found that he had been
cheated, it is not likely that he would
make the transaction public. There is
no doubt, and there can be no doubt, of
the truthfulness of his narrative so far
as it goes"

The New York Herald's special from
Concord says the postponement of the
New Hampshire Senatorial election to
1888 ''leaves the Republican party in a
Sery much divided condition" and adds ::
'sMr. Blaine's hand is seen in this. as it
is in the Albany fight. The excitement
in Republican circles is intense, and the
Rollins men swear vengeance on the
Chandler Patterson Stevens Marston
combination. War to the knife is the
battle cry" The New York Times
special confirms these statements By
saying that the postponement '1eaves
wounds that will smart for some time TO
come"

A large committee, composed of gen.

issued a statement setting forth some of
the reasons why. in their opinion, Capt.
P. w. Mckinney, of Farmville, should
be acceptable to the Democratic party
of Virginia as their nominee for Gov
ernor. Capt Mckinney is one of the
best lawyers and most skillful debaters

ticket, greatly distinguished himself on
the hastings when pitted against Col.

This is the season of the year when
newspapers give columns of facts and
figures about the crops-corn, cotton
and tobacco. The New York Herald,
thinking that there was one crop some
what neglected by the agricultural
papers, lately sent out number of cor
respondents to discover the condition of
the peanuts. 1t will comfort the small

than it is at present; that it is much
larger than usual, and of far better

Greenback State conventions

Greenback State conventions were
held in Ohio and Pennsylvania on We'd
nesday last. The Ohio convention
planted itself upon the prohibition plat
form, with the view of catching the
votes of the prohibitionists. The Penn
sylvania convention reached out for
Irish votes, by declaring in support Of
the Land League. Gen Weaver turned
up at the Pennsylvania convention, and
he, presumably, is responsible for that
part of the platform which calls for only
such volume Of greenbacks as bust
ness requires. This is decided modifi-
cation of the greenback doctrine, which
has hitherto been in favor of unlimited
greenbacks. Inasmuch as the volume
Of currency is now abundant for all the
wants Of business, the Greenback party
can, if they see fit. protest that they do
not want any additional issue. Only
$50 delegates were in the Ohio conven-
ton. It is about time to write the cpl,
taph of the Greenback party-kiiIed by
the return Of prosperity.

is in the following despairing language:
What will it be in 1884 if this fratri-

driven into hostility, and all the Repub-
licans who have so long trusted and fol-
lowed him are made in the meantime to
nurse a sense of deep and grievous
wrong2 We say, again and again, the
whole business is a blunder The adj
