Gen. Grant,s Discase.

The impression appears to be getting
abroad that the doctors do not thoroughly
understand Gen. Grants case. 1t may be
that this impression does them an iuius-
tice, and that Gen. Grants present i'm
proved condition is entirely in keeping
with the phases Of the disease from
which, it is believed, he is suffering.
The public viii not forget, however,
that on Feb. 81 DR.. Shrady, one of the at
tending physicians, wrote in his paper,
the NedjcaJ journal, that the sensational
reports that Gen. Grant was suffering
from cancer Of the tongue, which had
been so industriously circulated, did not
appear to have any foundation. Allslgns
of a cancerous disease, he wrote, had dis
appeared.
In a couple of weeks, however, he
took an entirely different position,
and said, very frankly, that
Gen. Grants disease was cancer of the
tongue. Doubtless the doctors have been
entirely sincere in all they have commu-
nicated to the public. The only question
which now presents itself is, are they not
mistaken respecting the nature of the
disease? They gave out a statement
more than a month ago which they sub
sequently admitted was wrong. May
they not have been right in the opinion
which they expressed on Feb. 81.
If Gen. Grant is suffering from can
Ger Of the tongue there is, of course, no
hope of his recovery. The disease may
change for the worse at any moment, and
may reach a fatal termination after the
change in few hours. 1t is somewhat
curious, however, that Gen. Grant him
self, il he is afflicted as he is supposed to
be, looks forward to recovery. He must
doubt that he is suffering from cancer;
otherwise he would not be in such hope
full frame Of mind.

II is remarkable, to say the least Of it,
that the Republican papers, in discussing
Gen. Lawton's case, s,udiously avoid the
fact that the Republicans raised no OBJ
lection to him as a Presidential electOr
in 1876, although the Office Of Presidential
eiector is one OF the Offices that those sui
fering from political disabilities imposed
by the third section Of the fourteenth
Amendment are prohibited from holding.
Gen. Lawton was a Tilden elector, and
was president Of the Georgia electoral
college.
Do the Republican papers now mean to
say that at a time when their party would
have given almost anything to have
found a disqualified Democratic elector
they did not thoroughly canvass the rec
ord Of every Southern as well as every
Northern Democrat who was entitled to
cast an electoral vote?
Doubtless the objection that has been
raised against Gen. Lawton was pretty
thoroughly canyassed by the ablest Re
publican lawyers in 1876, and the conclu-
sion reached that it couldn't be sustained.
It's not reasonable to suppose that they
overlooked it entirely. sUcn a supposi-
ton would not be creditable to their
shrewdness.
Such papers as the New York Tribune
and Philadelphia Press continue TO insist
that Gen. Lawton is ineligible, although
the Attorney General has decided other
wise, not because they have any objection
70 him, but because they hope to make
capital for their party; and it seems that
some Of those in the South who OPP
posed the nomination Of Bayard for
President because they thought that
Repusiican journals would make a great
deal Of capital out OF his Dover speech
now think that it would be better to let
Gen. Lswton's case rest until next De-
cembor.
The Attorney General is regarded as a
remarkably able lawyer. If his party has
confidence in him, now is the time to
showit. Tcrefuse to appoint Gen. Lawton
now, simply to satisfy the clamor Of Re
publican papers, would show want of
confidence in the Attorney Generals
opinion.
There is one thing in which the Repub-
llcan papers could do Gen. Lawton justice
without damaging the point they are try
ing to make. They insist that he failed
to have his disabilities removed by Con.
gress because he did not consider the
matter Of much Importance, and
because he took a sort Of pride
in showing that he asked no favors. The
facts show that he regarded the Johnson
pardon as having remoyed his disabilities.
II he had had a doubt on that point he
would not have risked doing his party an
/ irreparable injury by accepting the po-
I sitiOn Of Presidential electOr.

A0Iichisan Congressmau's Reques

A Michigan Con%ressman's Request.
At least one Democratic Congressman
thinks that the Democratic victory last
November meant that the people wanted
the Offices turned over to the Democrats.
His name is Maybury, and he will repre-
sent the Detroit, Mich, district in the
next Congress. A day or two ago he
called on Samuel Post, the Pension Agent
for Michigan, and requested him 20 re-
sign. He said frankly that he was not
representing anybody at Washington, but
thought the time had come for Republic
can officials 20 yacate the Offices. Mr..
Post expressed some surprise az the
Congressman's request, and asked If any
charges had been preferred against him,
or if there was any ground for charges.
Mr.. Maybury said he knew nothing about
any charges, but that as Mr.. Post was an
offensive partisan" he would have to
vacate his Office before long, and, there
fore, he might as well resign at once.
Mr.. Post concluded that the CONGRESSMAN
was in too big hurry TO get a friend Of
his appointed pension agent, and m0destly
declined TO give up his comfortable office.
Mr.. Maybury is evidently one of those
men who know what they want, and have
the courage to ask for IT, 1t not TO his
discredit that he didn't get what he
wanted, but m demanding Mr. Posts res
iguation, he displayed a cbild.like sim
plieity that will cause him 10 DE pointed
out as curiosity when be gets 10 Wash
iugton. There is not another Democratic
Congressman in the country, perhaps,
who thinks that Republican would va.
cate an Office RS long as he had the re-
hottest chance OF holding on 20 it. The
Michigan Congressman VIII learn, later
on IN bis career, perhaps, that Repu5li-
can officials are not to be got rid OF by
simple requests.
