have grown from the affair, and that is
that tho swords, medals, commissions,
gifts received during his memorable tour
around the world, and other articles Of
historical value belonging to Gen Grant,
will come into possession Of the govern
mont to form collection which will bo
viewed with enduring interest by the
citizens Of the republic long after tho
great soldier and general of the civil war
shall have gone to bis honored rest. The
other tangible result is TO render more
clear tho imperative duty T congress to
smooth and render comfortable the de-
| clining years Of the manly cOnqucrer of
| Lee. IL ia not in accordance with
the temper of generous and just people
that ono who has rendered his country
such eminent services as Grant in his
primo did should now in his old age bc
suffered to languish in poverty, and be
broken in health aud spirit by burden
of unmeritcd debt. Tho congressman
who thinks to win favor through viewing
this matter in spirit Of technical In

surprised IL no finds that his reward is
tho rcproach and contempt Of gallant

True to its instincts and its attach
ments tho democratic party rushes to the
defense of Jefferson Davis as though the
vindication of his name were the central
force that held its warning factions to-
gether. To denounco tho president OF
tho late confederacy as traitor and n
conspirator is to strike blow at the one
man the mention of whose name can at
any time solidify its columns aud give
= vitality 10 its organization. Praise Of
pie arch traitor springs Spontaneous to
Vemocratic lips and senator's like Lamar,
sS<silont upon the every day questions of
the'soNatel leap into the breach when
the motives of the promoters of rebellion
are Questioned. The day for reserve, the
day for bridled tongues, is past, for the
democracy has at last attained national
success, aud from henceforth its policy
is to be the falsifcation of history to Sc
cure vindication of the lost cause.
Two things are apparent in yesterdays
debate. First, Gen. Sherman has jeff
Davis ION the run" He has proven his
case, and the true inspiration Of rebel.
lion desire among the leaders to estab-
lish plutocracy in tho south, is shown
in light clear as day. Second, tho old
secosh spirit still dwells in the minds of
the southern leaders. Though they arc,
by the charity of forgiveness of tho re-
publican party, once more part Of tho
union they sought to destroy, thoy have
not returned as erring brethren rogro,-
ting their past errors, but as lords

power would be used to nu.iiiy the ra.
suits OF tho war and to justify secession
Whenever thcir words have flown freely
without fear of political effect tlIi, ha
been their spirit. Tho further debate Oh
these resolutions will therefore be watcho,
with interest, and it is not to bo rcgrattod
that thus early tho bourbonism Of tn,

The half score or so Of men possessed
of colossal fortunes who live in New York
have never been remarkable for tho COM
mission Of deeds of liberality commensu-

WOULD IL not be worth while for the
persons who arc endcavorng to secure
means for tho erection of monument to
Garfield to join forces with tho promoters
Of the Garfield Hospital and unitedly
labor for the success of the latter project?
It isa noble enterprise and will serve
better to keep green the memory Of the
murdered president than all the ambitious
structures of stone and mortar that could

proper iuiou of action directed to the
common end of making tho hospital n
