1t is but just 10 say that New iork
has met all therequirements OF this grea'
historic occasion in manner that leaves

nothing but kindly commendation.
Justice also demands, and it is @

This gallant officer, bearing the scars
of terrible wounds received in battle
while defending the life of the nation
holds astrong position in the respect

the last honors were paid by the vas

All who bore parts in the Crane

is native Of New England, and the
best blood of It's oldest families runs 10
his veins. But he owes his success iu
life to his own efforts, being pre.emi.
nently n self-made man. When the
Kearsarge sunk the Alabama, Paymaster
Smith, then young officer, commanded
a division on the victorious vessel. This
is sample clipping from war record
that his country should be proud of-a
war record that his children's children
will cherish as priceless heritage.
The most valuable of all earthly pos
sessions is mans character. Courts.
martial can impair the value of this in.
estimable treasure. Such wrongs have
been inflicted in the past, and may be
again. More than one good officer has
had his life warped and discolored by
the unfair finding Of a court.martial.
But we can recall no case in which
an officer whose motives have not been
impugned by the evidence, and whose
conduct of the business in his charge has
been shown to be successful, has been
convicted because Of informalities com
mon in all branches of the service and
generally admitted to be unavoidable.

The New York World inquiries (:
"Will it be possible for partisan tanati.
cism or political necessity to again revive
feeling of antagonism between the two
sections of the Union? Will it be in the
power of the politicians to persuade the
people to pay no heed to Gen. Grants
dying exhortations, and to falsify his
predictions of happy harmony between
those who were at enmity only a few
years ago." There ia but one danger,
possibility that habtual denial of fun
damental rights to a large portion Of the
people in o number of states may not be
immediately abandoned. If the Worfd
can give assurance that the basis Of re.
publican government will, in future, be
respected, so that the elections in all the
states shall be something like fair ex.
preston of the wishes of the people, we
can assure the World that "happy har.
mony" will henceforth prevail. The
country needs it, most of the people,
taking the nation as a whole, want it, but
we do not feel sure that it is close at
hand.

The arguments of eminent lawyers are
generally good reading. When delivered
by such advocates as Hon. Geo. S. Bout
we'll and JEFF Chandler, esq, and in such
n case as that Of Paymaster General
Smith, they are sure to invite and repay
attention. For this reason we present
them this morning. Although the two
arguments discuss the same case and
reach the same end-the complete vindi'
cation of the accused-there is no SINH
larity in the style of the speakers or their
methods of ratiocination. Each Of the
distinguished attorneys does his work in
his own peculiar way and each does il
thoroughly we'll. The public mind is
quite prepared to agree with these gen.
temen that their client has done nc
wrong, for no wrong-doing has been
shown. That verdict Of acquittal will
be rendered is universally expected.

GRANT AT SPRINGFIELD.

EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN Capt.
U. s. Grants appointment as colonel of
the 2lst Illinois volunteers was not with
out strong opposition in high places.
He came there early after hostilities be.
gun, served few days at desk In the
adiutant generals office at SO per day,
and then was placed in charge of camp
of rendezvous, but yet made no marked
impression. The 2lst regiment was first
organized as state militia, under Col. G.
S. Goode, civilian, who soon lost all
control or respect of the 1,020 men
under him. The boys became wild in
their new vocation, and were the terror
of chicken roosts and the like. The
regiment was mustered into the
United States service, with Col. Grant,
June 10, 1861, at Mattoon, and soon
were ordered to Quincy, on the Missouri
border. Transportation by rail was pro.
vided. Gov. Yates and other officials
went out to ascertain when the train
would be needed, and to their surprise
met the regiment already en- route, the
colonel preferring, as be said, to give the
boys some wholesome discipline before
meeting the enemy, and he marched
over the hundred miles across the
country, at times with several OF
the most unruly tied up to the wagons.
The other officers of the regiment were
Lieutenant colonel, George W. Peck;
major, Warren L. McMaken; adjutant,
G. B. Steele; quartermaster, John Il,
Jones; surgeon, Carl NUM-; chaplain,
Elias d. wilkins. Grants successes al
Belmont and Fort Donelson soon ex.
cited the jealousies of croakers,
mugwumps, and even of officials
in high position. The attempt tc
degrade him on the eve of Shiloh, il
connection with the first days retreat
furnished good opportunity to vent theil
spleen; his opponents until then under
cover became emboldened, and charges
ofincompetency and dissipation were cur
rent. The same tactics obtained higher
pitch during the siege of Vicksburg, his
removal even demanded, and his sue
cessor selected, but Lincoln's estimate o.
Grant was strengthened by the charges
He was retained, and his hands were up
held by President Lincoln, backed BY the
loyal masses of the north, and the result
eliminated at Appomattox. d. l.. 6.

SERIOUS REPUBLICAN, COUNSEL.

1t is both the duty and the privilege of
all to stay up the hands of the President
in his contest with his party over this
matter. All that we say is, that the
struggle does not appear to US to have
been ended; as witness the case of the
postmaster in Indianapolis and the loud
cry of the Virginia Democracy that the
President is not making speedy and
sure end of Republican officsholders in
that state. Mr.. Cleveland may in the
end deserve all the praise Mr.. Curtis
bestows upon him; but the testimony is
not all in; it is not time as yet to sum
up and render judgment. The hope of
every patriotic citizen is that the Presi-
dent will live, and that he will satisfy
the expectations of those who are really
more concerned for the welfare of the
country than for the supremacy Of a
party not pursuing such welfare.-PrOr-
idence Journal.

WHY REPUBLICANS MUST GO.

1t is the Democratic party whose sup.
port is valuable-not the support of the
Mugwumps, who will act for their own
personal interests, however the two great
parties may shape themselves. The
President cannot afford to support civil
service law that is both unconstitutional
and bad, and that aims to bring humilia.
ton to the high Office he fills. He is do
ing well enough. He will doubtless do
better without any unreasonable delay.
The rascals mus go. They must go for
cause. The cause is Republicanism,
which is offensive partisanship from every
rational point Of yiew.-New ioh
Grdphic (Dem.)

THE SOLID ROCK.

1t is Grants specific glory-and this
it is that prompts us TO exalt his memory
to.day-that his soldiership cannot be
classed with the examples Of illustrious
Illustration and majestic failure, but that
his fame like that of Charlemagne, Of
Gustavus Adolphus, of Frederick the
Great, of Washington and Wellington,
is built upon the rock of immutable nc.
complishment.-New York Sun.
