Religions Journal on tbe Character of Urant, From the New York EvangelUt. Not merely in ability, but In character, In temperament, in disposition, we believo Gene ral Giant to be well qualified lor the hit'h placo to which he has been chosen. If anything be clear In bis military history, it is that ho is a man of independent mind, forming bis own opinions, aud acting according to his own Judgment. We never heard it claimed by General Kherman or Sheridan, or any other of his di.-tinguished lieutenants, that they could control him in the field, and tbat the glory of his great campaigns belonged to them. Ou the contrary, they (rccly conceded to him the superiority which ought to beloug to toe head ot the army, and testify that tbe most brilliant movements ot the war were entirely tbe project of his own brHin, aud in some cases as in tbe scries of battles which ended in the capture ol Vicksbnrg weie undertaken against tbeir judgment. This 1b very high prrl&e from one commander to another, and the bs'St proof of tbe breadth of his mind, of his clcar-sigUtud-iiess and independence. A man who could not be controlled by his ablest generals, we do not think wiil allow himself to be "mauag;d" by supple politicians. Nor is he likely to be made the tool of a party. To a party, indeed, he owes his electlou, but when be enters on his high office be is the head of tbe whole natiou; and, we believe, will be the President, not of a party, but of the while country. All parts of it will share the bene it of his administration, and not less the (Southern Mates. We know great apprehension has been felt there of his accession to power; but, wc belteve, without reason. For while he will be firm and decided iu maintaining The laws, he will not be unjust or oppressive. His nature is magnanimous. Th's he showed by the terms he granted on the surrender of Genetal Lee. He had tbe Hebel army under his feet, an enemy thnt bad kept him at bay for many long and bloody moutba, yet he did not lor a moment yield to a feeliug of levenge. He might have insisted on conditions the most humiliating: but, ou the contrary, he granted terms whiju any brave but' unfortunate commander might accept. Thus he respected tbe courage of an enemy, aud was considerate to them in their misfortunes. In this ne showed the magna nimity of a brave soldier, who respects iu others the qualities of which, ho U conscious in himself. This brilliant example of moderation in victory ought to inspire confidence at tho South in the great chieftain who. having been thus magnanimous in war, is cot likely to prove a cruel oppressor in peace. (leueral Grant nnI the South. From the Atlanta Intelligencer (Democratic). We do uot expect him to Lronose or idvor-ate any initiation of the baiaut errors and op pressions ol the. reconstruction meaoures. We do not expect him to question tbe neht and the power ot Congress to legislate as it has for tbe internal government of tbe "Kebel States." We expect htm to deal with these measures as accomplished tacts, tlie wisdom and justice, as well as the legality, of which he does uot dis pute. But we do expect or rather,4 we should say, we hope lhat be will consider these mea sures as finalities, as definite settlements between the conquering aud conquered sections', aud oppose all further uttemp'.s on the part of Congress to reopen the compacts upon which the ''States la'.ely in rebellion" b'tve been readmitted Into the Union. We hope that be will maintain that the- States which have accepted the terms ot Congress and been restored by Congressional fiat to their places at the national board cannot be rurtuer interfered with in the control of tbeir domestic a Hairs: but that once admitted they are eaual in all respects to the other States, and cannot oe excluded or treated exceptionally oy con gress or any other power. If General Grant lutuis mis expectation ne neea notappreheui any factious or hostile opposition to bis admin istration in ihe South. Oq the contrary, he may confidently evpect snpport and couerous co-operation on the part of her people. Though powerless to resist oppression, or vindicate what she knows to be her rights, if they aro denied, the has it in her power to give materin assistance to an noucst national Executive who desires to promote the interests ot all tbe States and who resolves to banish sectionalism and party lrom his councils. The General and Itonnor. General Grant yesterday a'ternoon, says tho N. Y. Tribune of this morning, rode out with Mr. Kobert Bonner to MacComos' Dam. Ou his return to his hotel be was called upon by (Jeue ral N. P. Banks, General Kobert Anderson, General Totten, Rear-Admiral Dahlren, Judge Freeman J. Feihian, aud many others. In the evening he attended the banquet givea at the Astor House to Attorney-General Evarts. Ou Monday morning enerul Grant rode out to Fashion Course with Mr. Bonner, of the Ledger, to see Dexter. They drove Lantern and the Auburu horse. It wns a cold raw, blustering day, and the ground was frosty; but under all these disadvantages Dexter trotted a mile, as timed by General Grant, in 2 2U; the first hlt mile, where he did not have to trot aga.nst the wind, in 108. One day last week, when the weather was more favorable. Dexter trotted a mile in 217, wbich is taster by some beconis tban any other borse iu the world ever trotted. Although Dexter has been considered a wi'.d, excitable horse, Immediately after this perform ance Mr. Bonner had him harnessed up single to a top wagon, and rode with General Grant behind him back to the city, and down to the Metropolitan Hotel. General Grant himself held the reins the erreater part of the way through the city, where they eucountered mauy stages aua carriages. TIL DEN. lion On or the Tammany Nitcliema AUled the Itemovruvy. The New York Tribune of this morntug pub lishes the following: The Civde (N. Y.) Tinus reprints the famous secret circular Issued from the rooms ot the Democratic State Committee in the name of Mr. Tiklen, and adds these pertinent remarks: The evening ot the election, and alter the polls were closed, tba following was found oo tbe flo:ir near the table occupied by the In spectors of Election in this village: "Qilew, Wayne Co., N.

The Attorney General the Gnest ofTCe Aevc York liar. Hon. William M. Evart., Attorney-General of the United States, was entertained at dinner last evcDiug, at tbe Astor House, New YorK. The attendance was large and highly distiu euished. The banquet room was appropriately d'cora'ed with the national and other colors. Around the walls were festoons of evergreens, intermingled with flags and encompassing shields bearing the names of the Hla es. Tbe tables were superbly laid, and give ample evidence of the arthtit skill of the aio tern pastry cook. Tue music was provided by Dod worth, w hich is to say that it was all that it ought io be. At 730 o'clock tbe chair was taken by Hon. Charles O'Conor. On his right was sea'.ed tbe guest of the evening, and on his left General Ulysses 8. Giant. At this table were seated, to tbe right of the chair, Admiral Farrsgut, Mayor Hotlman, Caleb Cashing, Judge Mo Cuuu, S. A. Foot, Henry J. Utymond, R. H. Dana, Jr., F. W. fctautou, F. 8. Wiuston, J. Iiuthcrlord, Jr., Judge U Icon, Judge Btrbour, Judge Benedict, Judge Clerke, JuJire Hussell, Judge Barrett, Judfie Gilbert, General Baienj, Bev. Dr. ViLton, Cyrus W. Field, Judge D.ily, and Dr. Adams. To the left of the chair were seated General Schoficld, A. T. StewHrt, Governor Clifford, O. A. Dana, General Banks, Attorney-General Brewster, J. W. Gerrard, W. F. Doi1g, Richard O'Gorman, Judee Jones, M. O. Roberts, Julge Butheiland, G. 8. Bedford, J. G. Bennett, Jr., Judee MoneU, Judtre Ingraham, General Dent, G. M. Archibald, Dr. Van Beiiren, Judge Kjb erteou, W. H. Aspinwall, Judge Braly. Alter tbe dinuer Mr. O'Conor, tbe Chairman, arose and called upon tbe audttoty to atleud to the first general toast, 'The President of the United States." The toast having been re sponded to, Tbe Chairman then proposed the second regu lar toast, ' The Ticsldeut elect," upon which, from a miniature fort wh en was erected at the side of tbe dining-room, was then discharged twenty-four miuiature cannon", this unexpected outburst calling for tbe considerable admiration and merriment. General Giant viewed it with aston)hment and with a smile, and arose to re spond to tbe toast just given. He was received with much enthusiasm. He said: Npeech of General Grant. Centlemen of the Bar of New York: I thank you very kindly for the manner iu which you have tecelved this toast, which ws iateudea as complimentary to myself. Irriiiygay there is no omer community irom "wliih I could reeoiva a demonstraV.CU Of welcome with greater pleas'uke than irom tbe citizens 1 meet this evening. (Cheers ) The audience then rose and gave three cheers lor the President elect. Mr. Evarts, in responso to the next toist, "The guest of the evening," tali: How eh ill I exhibit and bow shall 1 state my qualification and my gratitude lor this, your kindness, for these, your favors. I am sure 1 shall not mis take the propriety oi the situation if I deem this incident in my profes-donal life my being Attorney of tho United States tha oucasiou, rather than mysel', iu any principal aud im portant sense, the object of ih'8 public con gratulation. The defeat, in tbe estimation of most ot you, wbich a certain political party has sustained, should not make us the less verbose or exuberant. The only public services which 1 have been called upon to acquit myself of were merely of a professional tendency. The errand lhat curried me to London and Paris, to aid the policy of the Government repre bented by 6uch Ministers as Adam aud Dayton, was, I feel, only sustained as rnv enemies would permit. However. I mav ba allowed to say that ray professional duties were conducted by roc as tbeir nature required. My present position Is almost In duty aud in purpose and In service as distinctly profrssional as it is in name. To appear as tbe forensic advocate of the Executive Government, I may ba deemed by many but to adhere to the duties of my profes sion and to carry out the views of my superiors. I shall ever find a pleasure when in accordance with my sentiments oi rectitude and honor. It is true that in our country and in England this office of Attorney-General is disposed of accord lug to legul etiquette, aud after his election he is called a member of the Cabinet. When, after a brief term of public service 1 shall resume my ordinary employments, I shall ba delULte 1 it I shall be deemed worthy ot your favorable judg ments. Admiral Farragut responded on behalf of the navy. There was tremendous applause, the guests rising and uniting in three cheers for Farragut. Admiral Farragut said Gentleman: I rise simply to acknowledge the complimnl you have paid me. Your President has anuounced tbat I would speak for the navy. I believe that tbe navy has always done Its duty. (Oh ers.) It is a nucleus, to use the lauguage ot the gen tleman who last spoke, arouud wbich, I hope, we will always be able to rally. I have lately been abroad as the war was over, I was seut abroad to give me a little recreatiou, I suppose and it now affords me great pleasure to declare that in my intercourse with all foreign nations, I lound the hand ot fellowship aud goodwill extended to me everywhere. I can say that 1 do r.ot think we should be called upon to do much more service In the way of war. (Cheers.) Attorney-General Brewster said,' In bla re sponse to the toast "The Bar of Pennsylvania:" One thing happened here to-ninht which sent a pu'sation and thrill of joy and exultation to roue h my heart, and no man who listened to it, and who is a loyal and rei-pcctable layman, and an educated man, but would leel a sense of exultation such a I felt. I allude to the sub lime response Irom the Bar, which followed Mr. Evarts' majestic and splendid dcDunciatiou of the unjust )udge (cheers), showing tbe virtue which regulates and controls tbe very life aud soul of our noble and beloved profession. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, let us remember, with a sense ot glory, bow illustrious the history of our pro'ession has been. The Bar of Ame rica has held the same relative position to civil liberty and political civilization that the clergy bore to religious civilization in Europe when she sose from a condition of barbarism. We are, sir, the lineal descendants of the archbishops, tbe bishops, and the mitred abbots, who once ruled not only the courts but the intellectual minds of Europe. And we, too, are bound by the same exalted and holy obligation, and when I heard the reverend and learned clergyman to nicbt touch tbat lioud.of sympathy, ailude to that golden link which binds us in 'common to one holy cause th cause of civilization aud Christianity I felt that we were no, as in the betrinnipc, brethren. Let us always remember to be brethren, let us cultivate aud keep alive that association between the clergy aud theBir, and let us above all things never forget to be gentlemen ol tbe Bar. An InHiirnnce Incident, The Sun Francisco JiuVetin gives tho follow ing lustance of honesty under temptation: "A clergyman in Petaluma, named James Hunter, insured his lite in the Mauballau Insurance Company's office for $5000, and had paid $310 In premiums, when, a tew mouths since, be died. Tbe necessary steps were taken to adjust the matter aud pay tbe policy to his widow, but when the amount was tendered her she declined to receive it, on the ground that when her de ceased husband insured his life he withheld from tbe agents of tbe company aud tbe exami ning physician information of a malady uuder which he was sutlering, aud which would pro bably have prevented him from aecur lng a policy on his I We. The company at Pan Francisco Immediately notified their prin cipals of the facts of the case and of Mrs. Hun ter's refusal to receive the $5000, which she had made known to them by letter. On the 7th of September last, the Board of Directors of the Compauy held a meeting and adopted resold, tlou placing $2000 at the disposal of the widow or her ate and the use of her two children."
