Afraid of an Extra Session.

The New York Times remarks that if
an extra session should be called the task
of passing proper refunding bill would
not be an easy one. The Times says it
shared in the view when the subject was
before the late Congress that a three per
cent. loan would be successful, and
supported this view with arguments
which appeared 70 be based on common
sense and common justice" The Times
adds
such policy would then have been
timely and practical, and would beyond
doubt have produced very desirable re-
suits 1t is very questionable, however,
if it could now be proposed with any
prospect of success"
Within day or two Republican jour-
nails have brought forward many OBJ
jrctions to the proposed extra session.
They fear that the party could not carry
out its plans. There are a good many
Republican members who favor the 3
per cent. refunding bill which Hayes
killed by veto; and it is questionable
whether the Republicans could agree
upon a financial measure. Then the
Worcester Spy remarks that it would be
pleasant to send Republican committees
to the South to get evidence on which to
unseat number OF Democrats, but it is
not certain that the Republicans in the
House are quite strong enough to carry
out that plan; and the SPY does not
favor the extra session.

England; while we see the nations of

terrible burdens and an armed and Ere

lessness, political factions and economic
disaster; while we see the assassination
of an Emperor spreading genuine con-
sternstion, and an uncertain and threat
ening future hanging over all Europe
Ike a gloomy thunder cloud while we
observe all these portentous signs there,
the only question which Immediately
troubles us is whether we shall or shall

The Grant Fund and Grant.
Nashville american.

Some of the subscribers of the Grant
fund are cutting up fearfully at the pub
LEGATION of their names. A few capital
lists with axes to grind, and disposition
to work the old man for all he is worth,
have secured a mortgage on him, and
the sentlmentalists know full we'll that
this IS not to Grants credit. 1t dwarfs
a hero very much to be able to measure
him in dollars and cents, as if he were a
bolt of cloth or pig. We should like,
sincerely, for the honor of humanity, to
see Grant spurn the honor; but the next
best thing is for him, if he il. a sham, a
clay god, instead OF hero, to demon
strate it fully and expose the sham. AS
the incarnation Of an idea, he will re-
ceive homage until he is gone, but
his memory will not be as
savory as he and his sentimental
friends would like. Men are trading
upon the sentiment which brings thou
sands out to do him honor. He is good
for SO much in this country on account
of that sentiment, good for so much in
fluence in Mexico-he is an unknown
mine of wealth whose treasures have
been partly disclosed The shares in
him sell high, based on the hope of an
inexhaustible lode which will pan out
immensely. If the man who is the
incarnation of the Northern idea in the
war will permit himself to be traded
in, we are glad he is showing
himself the sham he is. To worship an
unexposed sham is to do the world an
injury, for it will always worship such
gods with suspicion of their genuine.
ness, and when the inevitable exposure
does come to future generations, it de-
stroys faith and works an injury. We
are sorry Grant is a sham, measurable
like tape-a god measurable in dol
lars and cents; but we are glad he is ex-
posing himself as to what he is. 1t
would be wise for Northern people to
worship their idol distracted and apart
from human incarnations of it, or if an
external sign must behad in human shape,
take bluff, frank, honest old Sherman,
who more nearly represents the noble
and grand in the struggle than any one
of its other creatures. 1t were better,
perhaps, to worship the creator, the idea
which made the men; but if an ircarna-
ton must be had, let it be honest old
John. By and by, if you fellows keep
on deifying Grant and the sordid demi-
god you will get to think your idea and
yourselves are like the thing you are
worshiping-better pull down the old
god and build new church.

LEXINGTON. KY, March 22--The
Daily Transcript this evening contains a
highly sensational article regarding Gen
eral Grant and Senator John 5. Will
liams. of Kentucky. The authority for
the statements contained in the article is
Rev. John ShacklefOrd, of this city, who
was a strong Union man during the late
unpleasantness, and an intimate friend
of General Grant. The following is the
article verbatim:
We get from the lips of prominent
Republican of our city, who is perhaps
one of the most ardent admirers Of
Grant in the city, a new story, peculiarly
characteristic Of the man Grant, and so
fresh from his lips that you can almost
smell the whisky and tobacco smoke on
it through the printers ink. Grants
friends, in kindness to him, ought to
take the position that he has laid out,
for if he has not and our government
designs to observe any eXtradition laws
between itself and so contemplate a
power as Mexico, then Grant and Sena-
tor General Cerro GOrdO Williams ought
both to be sent to the City of Mexico
and tried for a murder which they COM
mitted in that city during the Mexican
war, the facts concerning which have
never been divulged until this queer
combination of modern tanner and half
resuscitated Egyptian mummy has seen
cause lately to do so.
A gentleman from this county recently
met Grant, when conversation natu-
rally ensued about Kentucky politics.
Grant asked the Kentuckian how the
race for Senator was going in the Ash
land district, and added that ne was for
Williams because they had been old
chumsin the Mexican war. Grant then
told this story as illustrative of the intima-
cy between him and General Williams:
He said that when he and Williams were
in Mexico they were on one occasion,
after the surrender of the city, on a
frolic, and that Williams had fine
thoroughbred Kentucky mare, and he
Grant an Indian pony, which they
were running at full speed down the
streets of the city; that Williams natu-
rally Outran him, and that in running
down the street he met a Mexican who
had a pole across his shoulder with
Jug hung on each end of it,
in the common style of CARRYING
water in that country; that Williams
ran against the jug and knocked the man
down with great violence. Grant said
he looked back and noticed that crowd
gathered around the fallen man, and
rode hack to see what was the matter,
when he found that the man was dead.
Grant adds that he never told Williams
Aabout it, because he knew that would
make him feel uncomfortable, and he be-
Loved no did mt intend m kill him lint
We suppose he would admit that Gen.
Williams took the chances on doing so,
that he might have little innocent fun.
This story was told US by devoted
admirer of Gen. Grant, as an instance
of Grants indisposition to make a man
feel uncomfortable unnecessarily. If
Grant is not lying, Gen. Williams ought
to be remanded to the courts of Mexico
and tried for homicide, with Ulysses S.
Grant as parttceps criminals.

Mr.. Beecher recently set himself to
work as a revivalist. lie cancelled his
lectures, and said he was about to try a
little pure religion. But his attempts in
that line came to a premature end on
Friday evening. His revival was fail
ure. There was no widespread interest
awakened, and Mr.. Beecher himself was
several times unable to conceal his dis
appointment. He said few days ago
that there had not been single note of
Joy throughout the service. At the close
of Friday evenings meeting, when an
opportunity was offered to those who
had been influenced by the meeting to
present themselves to the examining
committee, with a view to becoming
members of the church, but one "white
souled" young woman presented herself
to be questioned. The old man had
better resume his lectures.

1t is very evident that the Republican
leaders are waking up to the grlevous
bIunder they made in defeating the fund
ing bill, They cannot avoid the respon-
sibilitY of the veto and the ultimate de-
feat Of the measure; but they are very
busy now in putting up apologies-lame
aud late as they are-for this giartng
Republican indifference to the public
veal. 1t was just what the history of
the party justified the public in expect
ing at its hands. And now that popu-
lar indignation is so plain and outspoken
the leaders are busy in trying to find
something in the bill where
with they may blame the Democrats
and satisfy the people. The entire ex-
cuse they have been able to muster
amounts to this: the measure was con-
cocted and carried through under Demo
cratic auspices. And the Chicago TTi-
5une, after all its weak endeavors to
fud something wherewith to abuse the
Democratic party, is forced at last to
make this poor confession:
cit may be admitted that the prompt
passage of another funding bill under
the auspices of a Republican Congress,
and the successful negotiation of new
loan st low rate of interest, would con-
tribute more or less to party success in
OHIO and elsewhere.
The time is not far distant when the
people will awaken to the conviction
that the party that uses the power of
the government and the legislation of
Congress purely in the interest of fac
ton, regardless Of the interests of the
country, is not worthy to be entrusted
with the control of the government. Tho
sooner the honest masses become con
WINGED of that fact the better it will be
| for them
