Shortly afterward President johnson let Gen.
Grant know that he intended to send him on an
oiilcial and trumped up purpose to the City OF
Mexico. Suspecting scheme to get him out OF
the way. General Grant pointed to the regula-
tons and the law and said:
"A commander of the army, in the time of
peace, cannot be ordered out of the United States
unless he consent | do not CONSENT
That ended the erdeavor
A little while afterward General Grant was
suddenly ordered on special service to California
ana, OF course, had to go. AT the same time a
very mpulslve, and on occasions desperate
oIhcer was ordered from the West to Washing
ton 10 him, as each was travelling toward the
other, Grant telegraphed
dispensablen
They met, Grant disclosed the entire plan; the
other officer came on to Washington, he took
the same ground that Grant had taken, and the
plan fell through
The other incidents of conflict between
johnson and Grant and Johnson and Congress
are well enough announcement the fact that
had the Senate convicted johnson, instead of
acqUitting him, the probability is that johnson
would have cleaned out Congress with trusty
troops, who were available under willing officers
for that purpose. The intention was known to
at least some Republican senators. It is be-
heved by those who were then behind the scenes
that the knowledge of that intention influenced
at least two votes for acquittal Itis known two
more could have been had, and would have been
had, if they had been needed. Just enough
votes We're cast for acquttal-one more
than onethird. The exactly requisite
number was due neither to argument nor acct
dent. As the roll was called alphabetically,
knowledge thai the requisite number was secured
was obtained by two senators prepared to vote
for acquittal in time to obviate the necessity of
their overtly breaking with their party by doing
So
The Democratic leaders of the South came
indirectly to learn Of Johnsons proposal to hang
them. The Democratic leaders OF the North did
not know of Johnson's idea of making them
participants in revolution from inside the gov
eminent. Both projects were never carried
beyond an inchoate stage in the mind Of Andrew
johnson. Essential to each project was the
army. Essential to the getting of the army was
the getting of Grant Grant could not be got;
and as neither matter went beyond proposition
into attempt, it did not become any part of the
charges formally leveled at the gamecock in the
presidential chair.
The attitude Of General Grant in each case
was that of patriot. The dead on Mt
McGregor did for his country far more than even
the much t5hich has been written, and which
men are apt wrongly to think comprises all the
record of his service to the Republic.

THE New Orleans Times Democrat is fiat
footed in its opposition to civil service, and
warns the administration that the removal or
even the reprimanding of Postmaster Jones,
of Indianapolis, will almost certainly make
Mr.. Hendricks the Democratic presidential
candidate in 1888. One by one the party or
gans are boldly showing that opposition to
the civil-service law which they have hitherto
half concealed or hypocritically denied When
they submitted to the running of the cam
paign on a reform basis it never entered
into their calculations that the mask was to
be worn after election was safely over and
their indignation that it is not thrown off by
the President knows no bounds.

In review of the life of General Grant
the New York Sun accords the credit of the
Vicksburg campaign to General Rawlins. The
Sun is mistaken. 1t wasn't Rawlins. Oh
dear, no. 1t was Anna Ella Carroll who
planned the siege of Vicksburg, and all the
other campaigns which Grant successfully
carried out. The General has since declared,
to be sure, that he never heard of Anna Ella,
but, at all events, her claim is superior, by
reason Of age, to that made by the friends of
RaWlins

pended. But the company's liabilities are
already $l53, 900, 900, and the work is but
about one-tenth completed, taking de Lesseps's
estimates. He figured that there must be
excavated 125, OOO 900 cubic meters of earth,
though other experts place it at 80, 900, 900.
At the present time but l2,376,5OO cubic
meters have been excavated. 1t is thought
that the finished work must cost not less than
$780, OOO,OO 1t is not strange therefore,
that the French government should continue
to refuse to indorse the company for new
loan of 800, 900, 900, now asked. 1t is thought
by those in a position to know that there
would be an annual deficit of not less than
$4,000, 900 on the canal.

THE other day it was the postmaster at
Baltimore who was turning out women to
make places for Democratic voters, and now
comes the Albany Journal and says Postmas-
Ter OLeary, of that city, is doing just like our
own Grandpa Jones also. If the civil-service
investigating committee will go on a summer
jaunt around the country it will find that they
all do it. Not one of Mr. Clevelands mon
partisan" postmasters will be found to differ
from Jones in theory or practice

If the half that is told of the infamous do
ings of the knights Of the Hickory Switch"
of Harrison county, is true, these scoundrelly
miscreants should speedily be brought to
punishment disappearing in the guise of
friends of law and order, they appear to be a
band of villains that deserve fogging them
PEELED by force of public sentiment to appre-
bend and punish them in some way that will
break up the organization and deter others
from indulging such brutal practices.

THE New York Sun, speaking of the inves-
tigation of the conduct of the indianapolis
postmaster, says that perhaps Mr. Jones has
sinned according to the mugwump code, ''but
from the recent utterances of the Democratic
press of Indiana, we are strongly inclined to
think that the sympathy of the Indiana De-
mocracy will be on the side of Brother Jones'"
Of this there isn't the least doubt Demo
cratic sympathy is unanimous in his favor.

IT had to come of course, but few thought
that Chicago would be the first town to pro-
duee that political chestnut: con Fame's
eternal camping ground" This might be
forgiven, but when Chicago, or any other
town, quotes the two lines as follows, it is
time to step into the back yard and let slip
the dogs of war:
and glory walks its solemn round,
In the bivouac of the dead"

THE following sentiment, uttered by an
obscure Indiana paper and copied approvingly
by Ohio Democratic papers, reveals the hopes
of the Democratic party in that State:
"The Republicans of Ohio fear the result
in October IT'S well. Leonard, the Pro
hibition candidate for Governor, is a hustler"
This is the end of Democracy's hope
this year, that its allies the political Pro
hibitionists, may kindly pull the chestnuts
out of the fire for it. To one expression Of
an honorable, aggressive fight on the part of
Democracy, the public hears a score by
Democratic papers lauding the sprightliness
of the prohibition candidate and his hackers
To them Democracy looks for all they hope
to get openly recognizing them as its allies
and enthusiastically cheering on the fight
that the Prohibitionists are intent
on waging against the Republican
party. And the Prohibitionists, on their
part are doing their utmost to pull down the
party with which they have so long been
agreeably allied, the only effectof which action
can be but to encourage and reinforce the enc
mics Of all temp erance Legislation. The
schemes of the friends of unrestricted liquor
selling could not be better seconded. There
is not a saloonist from one border of the State
to the other but is delighted at the attitude of
the Prohibitionists who insist on thrusting
the question into politics. And they are in
the best of spirits that these men are insisting
upon form of temperance legislation that
will be hardest to secure, and impossible of
enforcement at the present time The fear
in as the most expedient plan possible now,
makes every whisky man in the State
rush to the wordy encouragement of the Pro-
hibitionists, It is paradoxical alliance, but
not difficult to understand. But it is hard to
comprehend the apparent insincerity of those
organized in hostility to the Republican party.
They must know that the only temperance
legislation possible in Ohio must come through
the Republican party. They know, also, that
the democratic party is Responsible Iof tne
tearing down Of all thathas been done in the
past They know that Democracy is pledged
to the liquor interests and know, too, that if
Democracy and its friends succeed at all this
year it must be through the assistance of
Prohibitionists. It is astounding that men
of intelligence and character can be so duped,
OF so blinded by their own unreasoning fanat
iciSm.

sions are open to all who reach the minimum
standard at West Point. That is just what
Postmaster Jones thought when he selected
his clerks from q number who had passed the
examinations. The Republican applicants
stood highest, but Mr.. Jones judged that the
men who were Democrats were better fitted
for his purpose, and therefore chose them.
Jones's civil-service system must suit the
Graphic exactly.

And glory walks its solemn round
In the bivouac of the dead"

POSTMASTER AQUILLA JONES, of Indianap-
oils, was disturbing element in the Demo
cratic party before he was appointed. He
was the protege Of Vice president Hendricks,
and was appointed at his particular request.
Chicago Tribune.
Never mind what Mr.. Jones has been. He
now represents every loyal Democrat from
the lake to the river, and they all hope that
the point he is fighting for will be conceded.

In the '4rial" of Postmaster Jones the Dem
ocratic party is brought to the bar. He is
but one out of millions of Democrats but his
offense if it be deemed such is believed in
by, it is safe to say, not less than SO per cent.
of the party in this State and throughout the
country His error is cardinal principle in
the unwritten belief of the party which,
while not formulated in State and national
platforms, has been specially proclaimed from
the stump by men like Mr.. Hendricks, one of
the most prominent in his party, and
one of the most popular among the
rabble. In this city, as elsewhere, the
chief features of the post-election
iubilees was the evident satisfaction felt by
Democrats in prospect of a speedy induction
to the Offices from which they had been so
long barred Here the very first thought of
the iollifers was to 'march ON" the postoffce,
and to loudly cheer in its vestibule over the
capture of that stronghold. And another raid
was made on it when a Democrat was appointed
to take charge. A riotous, halfdrunken mob
of Democratic bummers marched through it,
singing: praise God, from Whom all
blessings fow," with many an oath
interspersed and many ribald jest.
Mr.. Jones cannot be touched without
rejecting upon these honorable gentlemen,
and they cannot be rebuked without touching
the pride of every enthusiastic Democrat. In
diana Democrats have assumed the Boss
Tweed attitude, and want to know what the
President is going to do about it. Postmaster
Jones has acted exactly in accord with the
Indiana Democratic idea of his duty, and the
prevailing sentiment is, 'Touch him if you
dare"

a good many faithful Democrats may feel in
terested in the old story of the politician, who
toiled and suffered for many years in the cold
shades of Opposition, being told at each applca-
ton that the Offices were only given to support
ers of the government. By and by his party
came in, and he selected his Office and demanded
it. And then he was told that he couldn't have
it. because the party was using the Offices to
placate the new Opposition!

Postmaster Jones as a Wedge.

FTcss.
So the fight which has been foreshadowed for
months is on, and Postmaster Jones is likely to
be the entering wedge which will split the Dem
ocratc party into factions, or the club which will
knock the life out Of the civil-service law under
this administration. 1t is openly charged that
Mr.. Joness course is dictated by Mr.. Hendricks
and that the latter takes this method of COM
pelling the administration to abandon its civil
service reform pretensions or of breaking with
it and setting up for himself"
