ATroRNEY-GENERAL MACVEAGH's home
organ, the Philadelphia Tunes of yester-
day, has Il menacing article against the
President and Secretary of State, in
which the latter are discussed freely in
respect TO rumors set afloat against them
by the MacVeagh wing of the Cab
met. The Times warns the Presi-
dent and his Premier very solemnly
against abandoning the star-route prose-
cution. As there are no prosecutions, and
as Assistant District Attorney Cook has
pompously announced III court that the
conspirators against Brady and others
have no case ready for the grand
jury, it would be rather diff
cult for the non-existent cases
to be abandoned. at is not derogatory
to the other members of the Cabinet"
says MacVeagh, or his organ, Ito say
that Attorney-General MacVeagh and
Postmaster-GeneralJ James are the most
respected members of the Administra-
ton by the large mass OF people"
This is as false as it is insolent.
1t is without a parallel for the President
himself to be thus Iectured by an organ
Of one of his Cabinet. If only the Presi-
dent could have given to the New York
situation little of the forbearance prac-
ticed toward these two detectiveminis-
ters of his what a happy family the Re-
publican party would be.

THE President does not intend to return General
Grants call of Saturday. If General Grant had
called earlier and in personal manner it is said
the President intended TO waive the rule provided
fer Presidents in such matters and make a return
call himself As it is he considers that General
Grant called in a most formal fashion, among the
last arrivals at the public reception, and so the
President will go away in the morning without
having enjoyed a personal visit with General Grant
during the week that they have lived but a stones
throw apart-Lo1l9 Branch special to The Post.
Oh, dear! oh, dearl And so the TTb1zle's
Mr.. Jenkins's cake is all dough, is it?
Mr.. J. procured the interview recorded
by US yeste rday, in which General Grant
remarked to the President how chilly :"
it had been lately, and the President
quite agreed with him. Did not the
Tribune and other court journals tell the
public that khe President had gone to
Long Branch expressly that there might
be chance for him TO be spoken to by
General Grant? Was not the entire
Half-Breed fraternity flushed with
pieasurable excitement at the thought
that this might occur? We took no
stock in it all, of course. We did not be-
Geve that a President of the United
States would change his plan of travel
and 90 to Long Branch in order to facili-
tate a casual meeting between him
self and a private citizen who had
criticized him. We did not believe his
toadies when they told US he was so
anxious to have General Grant speak to
him that he would ostentatiously seek
the boon. Now that it has happened
that the two gentlemen have
spoken, we do not believe that
the same toadies tell the truth
when they represent the President
as pouting like spoiled schoolgirl and
declaring that General Grant should not
have a personal visit from him, just to
pay for his having only called so late and
at a general reception. 1, the President
for any reason decided not to call on
General Grant, all there was to do was
not n call. Il IS not likely that he has
poured out 70 any member of the Jenkins
family any complaint of having been
Sighted ly General Grant, or any par
ticu!ars o: i.sT lie world get even.

THE newspaper published by the Cen
tral Pacific Railroad Company at Sacra-
mento, Cal, called the Record Union, is
especially virulent against General
Grant because he espouses the cause of
his friend Conkling, and criicises the
course of the President. In its issue of
the Goth instant it said:
1t might have been supposed that a man who
was candidate for the Presidency year ago,
and who was beaten in the race, would have
known better than to dictate dirty little slurs upon
his successful rival to newspaper reporter. Yet
this is Just what General Grant has done with re-
gard to President Garfield. He appears to be
dividing his leisure between consultations with
Conkling and interviews with reporters deprecia-
tory of the President. After paying his
eft-handed respects to the President he turns to
jefferson Davis, whom he coolly stigmatizes as
coward. As, however, he refers in the same
breath to the fact that Davis is now a very old
man. perhaps he makes it sufficiently evident that
the author of the new history of the rebellion
be abused with impunity.
The people may safely retain their con-
fidence in any man who can thus secure
the malignant hostility of these modern
barons." The reader will appreciate the
intimation that General Grant would be
afraid to speak disparagingly of Jefferson
Davis if he ere not . a very old man."

"I Magnify Mine Office

Inasmuch as Mr. William A. Cook and
the newspapers engaged with him COM
plain SO loudly because Cook was not
served with notice of the application to
the court in behalf of Mr.. Brady instead
of the District Attorney, it is interesting
to note the fact that Mr. Cook does not
occupy the position he and his newspa-
pers pretend he does. He was appointed
Especial Assistant United States District
Attorney for the District of Columbia, !"
and not especial Assistant Attorney
General as he is pleased to denominate
himself His appointment reads as fol-
lows:
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE,
WASHINGTON, June 1, 1881.
WILLIAM A. Cook, esq, Washington, D. c.:
SIR: You are hereby appointed special assistant
United States attorney for the District Columbia,
to aid in the prosecution of certain persons charged
with being concerned in frauds on the United
States in connection with what is known as the
"star-route " investigation at a compensation to
be determined by the Attorney-Gener when the
suits are ended. You will take the oath prescribed
for district attorneys and transmit the same to this
Department Very respectfully,
Attorney General.
Being an apostle of the Gentiles, "I
magnify mine office" The District At
torney Of this District has several other
assistants, each of whom has as much
ground for complaint as has Mr.. Cook. It
would be a most extraordinary and I'M
usual proceeding to serve a notice upon
an assistant when the chief officer is en-
duty in his Office.
But why should Mr. Cook desire notice
of an application which was as much
in the interest of just prosecution
as in the interest of the defense :?
Had he been notified would he have
said less than he did say? Did he talk
too much? Would little time for re-
Election and consultation with his "com-
mittee" have prevented him from max
ing that frank and truthful confession
that the Government had no case
against anybody which fell from him
with such delightful untutored SIM
plicity? This confession, in the face of
the many assertions to the contrary given
out from room 80 and published all over
the land, may be embarrassing to the
enterprising neWsmen but still it was
well to make it. An honest confession
from that quarter occasionally can't do
much harm.
