8 man who is not the embodiment of
wisdom, purity of character, and SEN
sible of high public duty devolving
upon an agent OF national government,
and the we'll known close relationship
existing between the President and
General GrOsveRor is an unmistakable
testimonial to the s)undness of the lat
ter's political opinions, his sagacity as
a legislator, and his worth as a COM
rade-guide, philosopher and friend.
The President has the happy faculty
of choosing as his mentors the strong
est friends of the republic. and the
most uucOmpromising advocates of lib.
erty and the rights Of man. In giving
his confidence to so sturdy an Ameri-
can as General GrosvenOr, the Presi-
dent not only serves his own pleasure,
but brings to the nations rescue one of
the stateIiest figures of the century,
and arms him with an authority that
must command the rapt attention of
the world.
We hope to see General Grosvenor
in the halls of legislation for many
years to come. The dignity, the cred
IT, and prestige of the flag will be safe
as long as his voice can be heard there,
aud with his wit, readiness for debate,
ability to state in the clearest way the
most abstruse proposition, he can bat

and win victories for the cause of JUS

IHs LEADER OF CONGRESS.

All things considered, General Chas.
II. Grosvenor Is the leader of the re-
publican forces in Congress, and has
been from the time that the people of
his district placed up"n his brow the
proud distinction that gave him the
right to become 3 lawmaker for this
great nation of ours. From the earli-
est days OF his public life, Gen Grosve
nor has shown a large capacity for the
discharge of weighty obligations, and
the country has not had within q gene
ration a representative more faithful,
more energetic, nor more devoted to
the higher purposes of our national life
and spirit than the eloquent and incl
sive Ohioan. Gen. GrOyesnOr has tax
en- s prominent part In all the debates
on the momentOus questions before the
country, and has been foremost in i'm.
pressing his craftsmanship, sound iudg.
ment and patriotism upon the legisla'
ton enacted by the national House of
Representatives OF unimpeachable
honesty, rugged personal integrity and
incorruptihle political morals, he has
always enjoyed the respect and esteem
of his contemporaries, irrespective of

If any Wise-acre wishes to de The

tell US how to procure a good staff of

the right person. 1t is a lamentable
fact, and We speak regretfully from
personal experience that the bright,

we're fourteen breaches assigned in
the declaration, ten pleas, with re-
plications and demurrers on both
sides. There were demurrers to
the breaches, demurrers to the pleas,
and demurrers to the replilcations,
upon which sometimes one party
obtained judgment, and sometimes
the other; and whilst all this was
Going on between the principals,

Of their own, by pleading the stat

succession Of other pleadings. The
record contained thirty-eight print
ed pages, which were occupied er-
clusively with pleas, replications,
demurres, rejoinders and judgments
upon them; and finally the case
came up to this court upon two
judgments upon demurrers."
