Gemsral OrasU's views on Political Af fairs Congressman Wtihbarnt'i Ex position of General Grant's Political Opinions. Cnicieo, 111., Oct. 6. At the Jo Paviess ( enntj Republican Convention, h Id yesterday at Galena, Illinois, Hon. E. B. Waehburne made a very succinct speech on the political ques tions before the countrv, at.d In the course of It defined Ceneral Grunt's positiou very much In detail. Knowing Mr. Wa-bburne's intimate re lations with General Grant, the speech has oc casioned very general interest here. In the course of his speech Mr. Waehburne said: Many people bad looked upou General Grant as they would upon a civilian and a politician, and even a candidate for civil office. They wonld seem to demand that he should malce known his political views ou the buslines and through the newspapers, with all the arts of the common demagogue. The public had no more right to eiriect General Grant to gpeak. out than they had "to expect LieutenanKJenerai Bherman. General Meade, General Sheridan, or General Thomas to make public their political views. The General was uot iu the habit, ot pro claiming himself to the world by words, but, like a wi6e man, had always mode his record thro'ieh his acts. Though not speaking for the public, no man was more frank In exptessing hie view on all public matters, lie was raised in the Whig pcliool ol politics. His venerable father, so well known in Galena, was always an active and influential member of the old Whig party. aud, alter it went out or exlhteuce, of the Re publican party. The General was always a Whig, so far as he was a politician at all, and never belonged to or had any sympathy at all with the so-culled Democratic party. Hfd General Grant been a member of the Democratic party, be would have been in the lame position as he now is, and tbe same as all tne most lojat ana patriotic men wno were ia that party now occupy. Though not a voter In Illinois in 1800, yet, after Mr. Lincoln's adminis tration commenced, and after tbe firing upon Sumter, there was no man who gave a more ear nest support to that administration. General Grant was among tbe first to comprehend the results that would trow out of the Rebellion, and the country will not forget that, as early as 18ti3, he wrote a letter say inn that, anxious as he was for peace, be did not wish to see it esta blished until slavery was wiped out. In 1854 he wts nrofourdly anxious for the re-election of Mr. Lincoln, and no man more fully compre hended the great fact that upon his fe-electiou hinged the success of our cause and the sup pression ol the Rebellion. lie so far departed from his usual course in such matters as to write and permit tbe publica tion of a letter in which he br telly and emphati cally summed up the whole question. Tbe letter was published by hundreds ot thouHands by the Republican Congressional Comm'ttee, and ex erted great influence in the country. He was openly and strongly for both the Constitutional Amendments, and he hailed tbe Reconstruction act of the Tlrtrty-uinth Congress as the solution of our difficulties, and he entered upon the dis cbarge of his duties under that act with zeal, vigilance, and fidelity. Sympathizing with Congrees in its action, and appreciating the importance of its being in session, he urged and advised such action as would secure an extra session, If necessary. When that session came, he expressed the most serious fears of the effect of a long adjournment, aud with a iar-reachii g sagacity, anticipating the precise state of things that has occurred, be used all his influence with Senators to have them adopt the House provision of the amended bill requiring the assent of the Senate to the removal of the ditlrict commanders Favoring the Reconstruc tion acts, no effort of his has been wanting to secure their enforcement In the letter and spirit, to the end that the Union might be speedily nd fully restored. He believes there is no protection or safety to the colored people and the loyal white people in the Rebel titates, except through Impartial suffrage. The Reconstruction acts having recognized the entire equality of all American citizens in the stales lately in rebellion, he believes that con sistency, as well as impartial justice, demands that there should bo no discrimination against any class of persons in any of the States. His sympathies, his convictions, and his hopes are now, as they always have been, with the greut patriotic and loyal people that carried the coun try thioufh the war. He is In favor of uphold ing ihe honor and credit of the national Govern ment, and holds that all our obligations must be discharged iu conformity to the ternn on which they were contracted. He thinks there should be exercised by Congress and by all departments of the Government a more Jigid and searching economy in' the expenditure of the public money, . aud wherever be has hud control he has struck off every uselcs expense, and reformed every abuse. Geueral Grant occupies at tbe present time the position of Secretary of War ad interim, in the Cabinet ol Mr. Johnson. His action in accepting the position had been the su'iject of a great deal of comment, and excited the fears of many pood and loyal men. It invoked tbe de nunciation of enemies, and brought forth the excuses of friends. He accepted that positiou, not, as has be;n alleged, in obedience to the commands of a superior officer, but from the stern sense of duty to his country. The Presi dent naa aeterminea to remove the secretary War at all hazards, and without excuse or jus tification. Ihe President thought to relieve himself from tbe odium of Mr. Stanton's removal and draw attention from that action by offering the place to General Grant. What was to be done? Should the General step into Ihe shoes of Mr. StautoD, and wield all the legitimate powers of tbe department in aid of reconstruction and iu support of the district commanders ? In the management of the Indiaa war and the super vision of war contracts should he be thereto resist the raid ot the thieves and plunderers and war claim agents whom Stanton had held at bay, and who were waiting to thrust their arms into tbe Treasury to filch untold millions of tbe public money f Or should he refuse, and per nilt that most Important position to be hllt'd by a Copperhead and a Johnson man, who would hiDderreconstruction.who would demoralize the army, who would sanction fraudulent and bogus claims of Rebels and bring reproach generally upon the public service? General Grant did not, therefore, hesitate to accept the position nud all its responsibilities, aud his action hud the concurrence of Mr. Stanton. Indeed, no steps were taken in that whole business except upon full consultation and understanding between those two distinguished men under such cir cumstances. Tbe loyal men of the country would have bad good cmse to censure General Grant bad he received the position. The very men who hud censured him most for taking it would now have been censuring him for not taking it. They would have said that, profess ing to be iu sympathy with loyal men. and in favor of reconstruction, he shrank irom the responsibility of a place offered to him iu which he could have been of inestimable service to the country, and by such refusal the War Department went into the hands of an enemy. But the General wants no other vindication for his action than will be furnished bv bis record when it shall see the light, and by his official acts. He can afford to wait. In con clusion Mr. Washburne said he was not speaking of General Grant as a candidate for the Presi dency, for he bad no right to speak for him in that regard. He bad spoken as he had because so many of his leUow-cltizcns had asked him In relation to the position the General occupied on questions ot the moit overwhelming public tm portance, and what were his views, sentiments, and convictions touching matters in which all good ltiicns feel so deep an interest.

London, Oct. 4 Midnight. The latest des patches received from Italy, though couthctint:, are highly important. A mesat;e has just been received from Florence announcing the clash of arms. The insurgent troops, holding a strong position near Bagnarea, iu Vlterbo, were at tacked by the Papal forces. A short, sharp fight ensued, which resulted In the defeat of the attacking party, who were obliged hastily to withdraw. The losses in the engagement are not stated. The effect of this victory is very in&piriting to the Party ol Action. A public meeting of the friends of Garibaldi was held at Turin yester day. Revolutionary speeches were made by many distinguished persons. Great crowds of people were present, and the eathuslasm was unbounded. Meetings of a like character are in contemplation in other cities oi Italy. Though a prisoner at Caprera, General Gari baldi has Issued a stirring address to bis fol lowers, which is published to-day all over Europe. He recites at length the grievances of Italy, and asks his countrymen to redress them now. He appeals strongly to their patriotism, and urges all his friends to march forthwith to Rome. FRANCE.

FROM WASUINUTON TO-DAY. smiAL DESPATCHES TO EVENING TELE1H4PH. J Washington, Oct. 7. The Mission of General Sherman Presi dent's Lait Stroke ot Policy. The friends of Johnson deny that Sherman was ordered here to t;tke the War Office from Grant, bnt pretend that he comes simply to talk about Indian matters with the President. No one here who reads tbe signs of the times be lieves a word of this explanation. Johnson is too shrewd to proclaim his plans in advance, and this story that Sherman is here for an Indian talk is only a blind to conceal the real object of his visit. If the elections to-morrow in Ohio and Pennsylvania result in a victory for the Republicans, then Sherman will be ordered back to his post, but if they go the other way then look out for Grant's removal, and Sherman as his successor. This is the whole scheme, and nothing else cau be made out of it. The Yellow Fever. I feiccl al to Tiik Evening Tklkqbifh by liaison's Independent News Agency. New Yohk, Oct. 7.
