WASHINGTON, January 3l.-Genersl Rose
Grams seems to have determined to make
for himself an unenvisble reputation in
his methods Of opposing the bill 70 retire
the hero Of Appomattox on full pay. Old
"Rosey," as he was familiarly known dur
ing the late unpleasantness, is man who
never forgets an injury attempted or con-
summated and never forgives an enemy.
but he is acknowledged by his best
friends to have made mistake
this time which will react
most seriously upon himself. He says that
Grant has taken every possible measure to
iniure him and to throw discredit upon his
best intended efforts ever since the time
when they were in the Academy at West
Point together. There are men who do
not think a Congressman ought to be in
Auenced in his action as q member Of the
National legislature by a party difference
starting in quarrel between schoolboys
and obstinately maintained in later life.
If Mr.. Rosecrans constituents are IN
favor of the Dill to retire Gen. Grant he owes
to then an obligation which will be exacted
with interest when the next election Tor
Congressman come, Of, If it is not diseharg'
ed now, and if Gen. Roseeran constituents
do not desire the passage Of this bih they
are very different from the masses OF the
people Of the United States, Republican
and Democratic, who have spoken through
the National Press most emphatically in It's
favor and without dissenting voice. Pos
sibi Rosecrans regards himself as above
the influence of the press, but time will
come when his constituents will rise in their
might and Rosey will be left.

hSs friends. lie could not be hired TO leave
the position Of an acknowledged header in
the House of Representatives toaccept such
a position. But il is shrewdly surmised by his
closest friends that Mr.. Randall whspered
in the ear Of Mr., Cleveland the great truth
that the Secretary Of the Treasury under
the aew administration ought to be an
advocate OF protective tariff or at least
believer in the same if the new President is

masses. Ii is also asserted that Mr.. Ran

Dyna -sitsrs.
The 3Ynamiters and their direct or iDdi.
rect synpatbiaers have won little victory
in the House Committee on foreign affairs.
The resolutions of sympathy with England
have been referred to sub committee
which is solidly hostile 10 them. 1t may
So iely be predicted that the House will fall
into no such error as that into which the
Sera,e was led by the Prsc' pitate introduc-

Congressman Gibssu, Of WIS. Virginia,

his former alleged visit to Cleveland yeiled
in mystery and most Of his colleagues freely
express .Se opinion that it never occurred.
