GENERAL GRANT.

The pay of General of the Army being
about $17,500, and the bill passed by the
Senate last week giving Gen. Grant the in
come OF that rank, he will, when it becomes
a law, be placed beyond the possibility of
want in his declining years
Gen. Grants most prominent companion
on the retired list will be its present senior
officer, Gen. Sherman, who was retired last
year. Officers on the retired list may be
summoned back to the colors in periods of
emergency, but it is assumed that when they
have once quit active service their days of
command are ended. They wear the uni
form and insignia Of their highest rank, and
are entitled to receive all military honors
the same as if in active service. The bill
passed the Senate and now pending in the
House is drawn with the view of avoiding
trenching upon the prerogatiye of the Presi-
dent, and authorizes him to place on the re-
tired list an officer who has held the rank
of General of the Army, said officer, of
course, being Gen. Grant, though his name
is not specified. 1t will be remembered that
President Arthur, vetoing the Fitz John
Porter bill, took the ground that Congress
had no right to order the retirement of speci-
fed officers, and his opinion was sustained
by the failure 10 pass that measure over his
objections.
Doubtless this practical relief afforded the
unfortunate General has been, to a great
extent, the outgrowth of his record whilst
in actual command of the army. These
were his generous and courteous treatment
to the conquered army, carefully relieving
them at the surrender of Appomattox of any
personally humiliating conditions, and his
confession of error and hasty judgment in
the case of Gen. Fitz John Porter. II is dis
tinctly on the exhibition of the breadth of
mind and purity of intention in these acts
that the unanimity in the vote of the Senate
has been based
The lesson Tor our public men is an i'm.
pressive one, and so even the downfall of
Gen. Grant has been sanotifed in great
moral good to the nation.

subject which is perhaps more directly con-
pected with the first. | refer 10 the vexed
question OF restriction on trade, enron eously
called Protection" These restrictions are
imposed primarily for the benefit of the
manufacturers, though IL is party "shib-
boletl" TO claim that by it the laborers are
benefited. Let US look at both sides of the
question The restrictions imposed on COM
merce with foreign countries realized their
object for a few years. For, whilst a few
manufacturers in the protected" industries
had the field comparatively to themselves,
they realized immense profits, and could af-
ford TO pay high wages and high interest on
capital. But this very interest attracted
other capital until interest and wages were
again leveled. Not only this, but the fact
of 30 many embarking in a profitable bust
ness caused an unlimited over production
The receiving class at once suffered,
and were either entirely dismissed or forced
TO subslst on fabulously low wages-.just such
state Of things as at present exists. And
hence, we come back to the starting point.
1t is not high wages for time, or tempo
rary high profits which will answer, but
what we do need, and what must come
sooner or later, is lower rate of interest on
business loans; an economic system Of taxa
ton; permanent wages, with possibly a small
reduction on those paid during times Of ex-
cessive business profits, and, lastly, an in
creased purchasing power of money.

SHERMAN.DAVIS AFFAIR.

1t Is evident that the recent debate in the
Senate relative to the Shermsn-Davis cor.
respondence clearly indicates that the ran
corous hatred entertained by the Abolition.
lists for the Southern people is still kept
alive by the Republicans. Realizing that
the spirit of the country does not tend in
such direction, they are prudent enough
not to embrace all of the white people Of
the South in their denunciation and vitu.
peration; and knowing also that the South
ern people are not mean enough to traduce
the man they had chosen as their chief, who
was loyal to their every interest, and who has
suffered more than any other man who was
conspicuous in that great movement, and
when they continue to honor and respect,
the Republicans hasten to make him the
object of their untiring and poisonous abuse,
1t is well known that Jefferson Davis
never caused the Southern States to secede
from the Union, and was no more RESPONSE
bic for their action in this matter than any one
of the many thousands who loved the South.
He was not instrumental in his election as
President of the Confederacy, and as a recog.
nized Southern man during the war, he is
no more liable to national vituperation than
any other Southern man who was promi-
~nent in the war-and the Southern man who
would net stand proudly and defantly in
his defense against such abuse, has no love
for the terrific memories and hallowed as
sociations of that land Of song and story.
Gen. Sherman, whose eyes sparkled with
delight mid the lurid glare of the incen.
diary's torch that made his memorable
march so conspicuous, went much out Of
his way to attack Mr.. Davis; more than
that, to assail him with premeditated false.
hood, and when that falsehood was made
bare to all discerning minds, he hastens to
place in the War Department an ex -parte
statement, repeating his charges of treason
and conspiracy against that old man Of
eighty winters, who in his quiet seclusion
hears the songs again of happy and pros
porous people lifted above the thrill Of the
streams ana the music OIL the BIRDS IN their
carol and from wrecked and broken arms
sees his gallant people raise the flag of the
South in the peaceful battle of energy and
enterprise. Yes in these days, when it was
supposed that the war was over, this retired
general of the United States army gratui-
tously utters his SANDER against harmless
and DISTINGUISHED ex-Confederate, and the
Republican Senate, without rhyme or rea.
son, hasten TO make it the occasion for abus-
ing the South. 1t was hoped, indeed, it was
concluded, that with the election of Ceve.

butsuch manifestations of hate in the graves;
deliberate body of the land, would make it
appear that our conclusions were false and
our hope premature.
