GENERAL GIANTS MEMOIRS.

We publish this morning on the sixth
page copous extracts from the autoDiog-
raphy which General Grant has all but
completed, and which will be given 10
the public in a few months. Every personal
record of our great commander will be dear to
the American people, and the recent imminent
peril in which he has stood must enhance the
interest attaching to these excerpts from his
memoirs. That they will take rank with the
most remarkable photographed writings ex-
tant may be affirmed without hesitation, and
upon the testimony of the extracts which appear
in The TRIBUNE to-day. The reason OF TINS l.
to be sought and discovered in the character OF
the memoirs. Eminent men have recorded
their own careers in such manner that the
literary value OF the work was the predominant
one. In the case of General Grant the literary
importance is subordinate. His memoirs DOS
sess the much higher value of character express
sion.
There is in them a complete absence of aflecta-
ton. to begin with. The author has sat down
to tell his story and record his impressions in
the simplest words and the most direct manner
possible. As a result we have the very Nan
himself in the book Those who know him best
will recognize in these pages every one OF his
characteristics The frmness of purpose, the
conclusiveness of Judgment, the blunt. down
right way of going to the core of all questions
the disregard for all ceremonial, pomp and
buckram, the tenacity of opinion, the clear
headedness, and also the defects which he Ia
not free from, are each and all as conspicuous
in his style as in his life. Here also is to be
seen the strong sense of Justice which is char
oHftb o Cnnnral In "A m On articl a.
he thinks he did injustice to contemporary
commander. In his memoirs he carefully ac-
kn0wledges his error, and c0rrccts It,
The book abounds with quiet little touches
which show how large fund of sarcasm the
writer has at his disposal. Some of his stories
about General SCOTS love of parade and pomp
are in point; also his remarks upon Colonel
Johnston's narrative of the battle of Shiloh.
That Grants power of observation has always
been keen is shown in these memoirs by a great
many unobtrusive little notes indicating habit
of remembering the curious incidents OF his
experience. The silent commander who prob
ably seemed TO those about him nearly always
buried in his own thoughts was taking mental
photographs of his surroundings, and little Of
interest or Importance escaped him. Of course
these extracts form but an outline illustration
of the memoirs, but they sufficiently indicate
their quality and the nature of the interest and
value the complete work will possess. In it the
people of the United States will have most
faithful and vivid portraiture of General Grant,
and it will be portrait precious not alone for
It's individuality, but for the sympathetic and
thoroughly human qualities with which 1t is in
formed.

MR. WARNERS P1TENT MEDICINE.

MN. UAHNLH . iILNI %uLDitI@fb
Congressman Warner's safe cure OF the silver
difficulty has secured, free of charge, a wide adj
vertisement The advertisements, however.
have not been altogether fattering or helpful.
Most journals that reflect the common sense OF
business men have promptly condemned the
scheme, and have pointed out that 1t involved
an unlimited initiation of the currency, without
in any manner protecting the country against
the dangers. which the coinage OF silver has in
volved. 1t is not to be supposed that Mr.. War
ner ever intended toipreveni the enforced resort
to silver payments by the Treasury. Demon
stration that his scheme will not have that ten
dency, however conclusive. will ouly incline
other men who like himself have believed In
silver payments to regard the plan with greater
favor. But the marvellous feature In this case
is that the plan comes before the public as hav-
ing The approval of Mr.. Tiden and other
prominent Democrats who have been recognized
as opponents of initiation. Whether Mr.. Tilden
has in fact approved any such scheme, or
whether it will in fact be at all countenanced by
the Secretary of the Treasury, may with good
reason be doubted
Not long ago Senator Sherman expressed the
belief that new coinage Of silver would be
1Ounu necessary, III WHICH thc he" uolidI snoulu
contain enough silver bullion to make it worth
100 cents at the current market price. 1t seems
to have been the theory of the Democratic man.
ayers that, if Republicans would assent to the
coinage of an honest silver dollar, they must
also be ready to assent to the issue of an I'M
limited paper currency having silver bullion as
its basis. There are two points of view from
which such a scheme must be judged. Its effect
upon the currency of the country, and its effect
upon the public credit and tho solyency of the
Treasury, are to be separately considered. As
respects the currency, nothing can be more GER
tain than that the country has already in circu-
lation far more money of various kinds than it
can possibly use. An addition to the supply of
money in circulation, though of the best kind
of money, would be of questionable benefit.
But an addition of a new kind Of money. and

STA in the Afghan affair has at length been
visited upon Mr.. Gladstone and his fellow Min
listers The Government was defeated last
night, on the second reading of the budget, by
q vote OF 264 to 252. 1t is a narrow victory
for the Opposition, but it will answer the pur-
pose of the Conservatives,-perh more than
answer it. Mr.. Gladstone will doubtless offer
his resignation to the Queen Immediately; but
it is not so certain that any one of the OPPOSE
ton leaders will be eager to undertake to form
new Cabinet at this time.

The people who contended for low tolls on
the Bridge insisted that this policy was neces-

shown by the fact that the number of pas
