The N. Y. Tim'.: tiiuniphaotlr p&raies an

General Grant is n-preseuted as ajing:
Well If lliev ((Jiugiea) tlo not repeal tue
Tenure of Oilica ho ). 1 certainly cannot
takB but chunes. lauiunt remove a man
-ithonl making !UHr-of a cbarnoter wblob

Vm bo mailer Vnat tny desires may be. Of
eourc'ei this wUl ive me all mis olfloe uuntlng
boring."
The Times parades ihls as showing "what
General Grant thinks" of the act, and its pro
poned repeal, but we believe no such thing.
C, one's experience must have apprised
Mm that unauthoriied reports of oonversa
Uons, made to subserve a purpose, are i a most
Sever accurate nor trustworthy. That the
above is flagrantly inaccurate, the Times my
satisfy itself by comparing tt with the provi
sions of the aot in question. The "being's end
and aim" of that aot is to preclude the Presi
dent's supplanting, in defiance of the Senate,
officers to whose removal he is morally certain
h"t the Senate would not give a willing assent.
llenoe the provision that the President, in the
recess ot the Senate, shall only suspend in
stead of absolutely removing, and shall, on the
reassembling of the Senate, apprise it of his
reasons for such suspension. As the Senate
will be in session directly npon General
Grant's inauguration, and will remain so for
weeks thereafter, or until the President in
forms it that he has nothing farther to oom
nunioate, this clause will hare no present
pertinence oreffloaoy.
We are confident that General Grant never
told any one that, under the Tenure-of-Office
aot, he "oould make no changes;" for the faot
1b notoriously otherwise. The more import
ant post offices, custom houses, Internal reve
nue oollectorships, &o., are held for a term of
years, which in mauy, if not most instanoes,
has expired or is on the point ef expiring.
The President may nominate new men to till
these plaoeB without a why or a wherefore
the facts that the places are now to be filled,
and that it is his duty it nominate, being
sufficient. As to the rest, the naked cirou Di
stance that the President judges that the effi
ciency of the public service would be promoted
by such changes as he recommends, would
Bufnoe. That General Grant ever said that
"the men who hold offices now will continue
to hold them to the end of my term," unless
the Tenure-of-Office aot be repealed, is there
fore morally impossible.
The 'J imes intimates that "the inefficiency
and corruption" of the Andy Johnson regime
is an argument for the repeal in question. We
think, on the contrary, that all would have
been worse much worse but for the Tenure
of-Office act.
Honesty and Policy.
From the It. Y. Tribune.
The House of Representatives has hitherto
been recKoned tne otronenoia or tne ere en
baok heresy. It is this tact whioh lends to
the vote on General Sohenok's bill epeoial
significance. The Senate may, under malign
leadership, be induced to let the session olose
without action en tne suojeot; tnougn we are
nnwiliing, nntilfurther advices, to accept the
timationsof this sort that come to us from Wash
inirton. But whether the vote be aotnally re
oorded at this session or not, we all know that
the Senate is in favor of the bill. The House
has been the dangerons point; and the House,
by a vote of two to one, has now given notioe
to the world of its rejeotion of the rogues'
plan that, sinoe the bond does not say gold
npon its face, we may fairly pay it in depre
ciated paper.
Now mark the result 1 A gold-bearing six
per cent, bond of this Government, whioh we
fondly boast the richest and strongest in the
world, has been selling in London for seventy
six and seventy-seven, while a three per cent.
English oonsol has been selling for ninety
two and ninety-three I Under the belief that
the election of General Grant meant national
honesty, our bonds have been steadily appre
ciating; nnder late outgivings in Congress
they have advanced still inrther; and now,
within twenty-four honrs after the vote in
Washington on General Sohenok's bill, Five
twenties leap np in London one and a half per
cent, more, with a tendency still upward I
Who is now so blind as not to see that honesty
la the best poliey T Once make it as distinctly
understood in London and Frankfort, as it is
firmly believed by the people here who elected
the incoming administration, that our bonds
are to be paid aooording to the honest under
standing at the time of their issue, and they
will ko above par bo rapidly that cold from all
the money markets of the world will be thrust
uron us to take a lour per cent loan, where
with we oan resume specie paymants and call
in our Five-twenties as fast as the option inv
tures. Gentlemen of the Senate 1 the way to
resumption stretches before you bo plain and
Inviting that even blind men could hardly
be excused tor missing it I Know the world
that this country is too honest to evade its
debts on technical quibbles; collect your reve
sue; and in these two plain aots of common
sense . and common duty resumption is
achieved I
In the meantime, the iioal viotory over
repudiation in its most plausible" and alluring
forms has been suosianuauy won, by tne ao
tlon ' ot- the House. W hat remains in the
Senate 1b the certain registry, sooner or later,
of a verdict already rendered. If Mr. Senator
Sherman means, even through this session
only, to stand in the way of that, let the coun
try know it, and let the Senate, reassembling
on the 4th of March, comprehend its plain and
imperative duty in the rearrangement of its
committees.
General Grant's rolitlcal Strategy
From the N. Y. World.
The President-elect realizes the truth of
that text of Scripture whioh declares that a
man's foes shall be they of his own house
hold. With both houseB of Congress so
largely Republican, he has nothing to fear
from the Demooratlo party during the first
half of his term. But it will task all his in
genuity and address, and probably require
more than he has. to maintain the ordinary
Status and influence of a President against his
on nartv. lie has mate an inauspicious be
fcltiWimr. It ia the first time in our historythat
the Party of a President-elect iu Congress, and
the press mat supporieu unu m mo wmuu,
.iivldHd and disouted npon a measure in
which be was known to take a deep interest.
u nimnnlvhatDenB that there is no period
In a President's career when he is bo powerful
and popular as daring the three months that
his inauguration, liis power, and the
chief Bouroe of it, bis patronage, are then ex
haosted. The countless hosts of ooe-seekers
are then all elated with hope; their rivals
have not vet snpplanted them; and that kjnd

and flatter tbe sonroe of their hopes. It b
never before happened that a President ba
raised np a strong faction in his own pirty to
thwart hi in previous to bis inauguration
In the present case, this early dtsoord is the
direct conseqtienoe of General Grant' on
bearlrg towards tbe party that elected hint,
or, ratber, towards Us representatives in
Wapblngton. If his rphinxism has proaeeded
from calculation 1 dp tend of natural retloenoe,
he may have thought that by keeping his ap
pointments a mystery, and extinguishing no
hopes, he wonld more easily Be o a re the repeal
of the obstructive Teuure-of Office aot. It
was natural enough to suppose that those
members rf Congress who wished to influ
ence bis appointments in their own .States
or distriots would be forward to please him,
and would shrink from making a reoord whioh
would interfere with the Buooess of their soli
citations. After the patronage had been be
stowed or promised, the number of active
Jtolitioians interested in the repeal of that
aw wonld be diminished or reduoed to
nothing; the disappointed beoomingindiYerent
from despair, and tbe successful desiring the
continuance of a law whioh would insure
what they had gained. If General Grant
reasoned in this way, he was the dupe of his
inexperience. The reasoning would have
been correct enough If he had not left out of
view the peculiar relations of Congressmen to
the patronage. The majority of both houses
are not new members, but old members.
Few of them expect office for themselves, but
they wish to dictate its bestowal as a means
of strengthening their influence at home and
Insuiing their constant re-election. The pre
sent holders of places in their distriots are
moBtly their friends, appointed by their in
fluence, and proteoted against removal by
their passage of the Tenure-of-Offioe law. The
Republican members have, therefore, as a
general thing, something to lose, or at
least something to risk, by the re
peal of that aot. It would be certain
to dispossess many of their friends,
and micht substitute their enemies.
or, what they reckon as tbe same thing, the
friends of their rivals. It is on this point that
they want assurances, and no such assurances
have been given by General Grant. If the
Senators could nave felt certain tbat they
could control the appointments in their own
btates, tbe Tenure-of-Umce a it would have
been repealed without opposition. Aud, on
the other band, if the Republican members of
tbe House had not acted on this subject before
the attitude of General Grant beoame known,
the repeal wonld not have passed the House.
Probably it could not pass now if the House
had not expended its liberty of aotion. The
most important thing for every member of
Congress, in his own estimation, is to
strengthen his credit and influence in his own
distriot; and the Federal patronage in his dis
trict is the capital on which he trades. If it it
known at home that he oan fill every offl e, or
that nobody whom he opposes oan get ap
pointed, the patronage of his distriot is a great
lever of influence. It compels all the aspiring
lecal politicians to court him. It enables him
to reward his friends, punish his enemies,
supplant hit rivals, and disseminate among
all his constituents an impression that he is
a man of importance at Washington.
The personal interest of the Senators in this
method of distributing Federal offioes is
greater than that of members of the House.
The Republican members of the House claim
control of the patronage only of their own dis
tricts. But many distriots are represented by
Democrats, and from the faot that the strong
holds of the Democratic party are the great
cities and populous towns, the oflloes to be
filled in them are the most important and lu
crative of any in the oountry. The Senators
claim these as their veouliar heritage, and
the Senate will not repeal the Tenure-of-Offioe
aot unless they can be assured by General
Grant that he will take their advice in filling
such places.
So far as General Grant has been manu
vriDg lor tue repeal oi tne lenure-ot-umce
act, his strategy has been defective. His
independence and reserve may have been
very well; bnt his ostentation of them has been
a great mistaKe. The distrust of Congress
which it evinced was certain to be repaid with
counter distrust. He could take no security
asainst Congress, and Congress has com
plete seourity against him in leaving things
as they are. He might have suooeeded
better if he had not made his bearing to
wards his party bo marked an exoeption to
the ordinary practice. A man of strong
character may oounsei ireeiy with others
without any surrender of his independence.
To consult is not necessarily to oonclude:
and if General Grant, instead of affecting to

me ueuse oi tne party in congress, he could
have postponed any aotual deoisions and
yet have excited no distrust among those
who have bo much power to obstruot him
it is not his reserve, but his sullen
ostentation of it, that has lost him the
favor and confidence ot so large a portion of

who will think his soldier-like freedom from

political party. And it may be good strategy
in the long run, if he means to rely on the
great body of the people instead of the party
tbat elected him.
Within the last day or two General Grant
has thrown out more than oi e intimation that
he is revolving in his own mind the extent of
his alleglanoe to the Kepublican party. The
most remarkable of theue ia what he said on
Thursday to Mr. MoClure, who undertook to
pump and badger him about the Pennsylva
nia appointment to the Cabinet. According
to one report, when he was told by this friend
of Uovernor Lurtln's that & particular selec
tion wonld defeat the Republican party in
that State, General Grant replied, with
promptness and spirit, that he did not con
sider himself a representative of the Republi
can party, although fcleuted by it. If the ill
treatment he is receiving provokes him to aot
in this sense, he will not lack noDular ann.
port; but he will subject himself to great an
noyance during the first part of his term, until
the people sball have had an opportunity
to make their voice heard through the elec
tions. Another very significant intimation,
amounting almost to a threat, was made by
General Grant two days ego, to the eflact that
if tbe Tenure-of-Oillce act were not repealed,
he should construe it as an indication that
CeiigreBB does not dtbire him to make any
removals, aud But accordingly. In that case
he would make no appointments except to fill
vacancies caused by deaths or resignations.
Congress would prubiMy rather have it bo,
than Bee their pret-ent friends removed with
out being able to dictate tbeir successors. As
a nutans of coercion such a threat is bad
strategy. It advertises General Grant's deter
mination not to submit to Congressional dic
tation in his appointments, and enables the
Senators to see that the apprehensions ou which
tbeyhavethusfaractedarewell founded. They
will eee that they would Iobo much and gala
nothing by a repeal of the law, and will be
likely to aot on tbe maxim that a bird in the
hand is better than nuns in the bush. Bat if

wonld be a bold and masterly pleoe of
strategy, if its objeot is, not to oonstraln the
Senate, but to nnmanaole the President, by
bringing the battering-ram of popular indig
nation in play against the usurpation of exe

effective method that oould be adopted for

From W 2v". T. Times.
Mr. Schenok does not exaggerate the diffi
culties in the way of immediate resumption,
or the oonsequenoeB that would follow the
leglelative promulgation of a date at whioh
resumption shall begin. The former is simply
impossible. Entered npon to-day, it would
break down to-morrow, and the destruction
of oonfldenoe would be disastrous and com
plete. Mr. Sohenok remarked truly that "a
scheme for resumption to take plaoe at a oer
tain date in the future, to be fixed by law,
would be productive of embarrassment and
disaster little less serious and immediate."
The interval preceding the designated time
would be used by the moneyed class
for their own aggrandizement, at the ex
pense of the industrial and debtor classes.
Let it be understood that on a given day,
not distant, greenbacks will be as good as
gold, and from that moment the hoarding of
greenbacks becomes profitable. The ability
of the Government to say two or three years
in advanoe that on a oertain date it will be in
a condition to pay gold for currency at par is
questionable. The fulfilment of the promise
is contingent upon bo many conditions which
neither Congress nor the Treasury oau wnouy
control, that it cannot be relied upon with
certainty. But whatever the ultimate result,
the intermediate prooess would neoessarily be
harsh and distressing. JMot only would gold
be accumulated by the Treasury as its chief
form of strength, but the ourrenoy would be
withdrawn from tbe ordinary channels of pro
duction and trade, entailing npon the money
market a stringency from which all interests
but those of the usurer and speculator would
seriously suiter.
Such being the tendencies of mere legisla
tive resumption, the oountry has reason to be
thankful tbat neither Mr. bberman nor Mr.
Morton has prevailed upon Congress to under
take the experiment. Of the measures intro
duced by these Senators respectively, that of
Mr. Sherman is lnnmteiy the more objectiona
ble. It would inlliot npon us the pains of
ooDtmction and swell the volume of the debt
for the furtherance of objects which, after all,
might not be realized, llenoe its enactment
would be a calamity in comparison wun wnion
the. continuance of tbe present state or the
ourrenoy is an insignificant evil. Mr.
Morton's bill, while better in many
respects, perpetrates the blunder of
fixing a date ior resumption, ana is mere
fore calculated to produoe indlreotly the
mischief of contraotion. What remains avail
able, then, in the shape of legislation f Mr.
McCulloch's prolonged and oft-renewed efforts
are conclusive evidence as to the futility of
artificial means of hastening a change-for
whioh tbe oountry is not even partially pre
pared. He tried contraction until suffering
r t . 1 1 . .i
business protestea against us oonunuanoe.
He essayed the management of the gold pre
mium by secret sales of gold, without bring
ing ns a single fraction - nearer the gaol.
Legislation can ao no more. it can dui aim
at the appreciation of the currency by ren
dering it scaroer, or by forcing down the gold
premium; neither oi wnion is expeaient.
The time will come when a Congressional
declaration on the subject will not be produc
tive of harm. . To be safe or proper at any
time, however, it must be the result of an
altered condition of trade and fioauoe, not a
cause designed to produoe the change. When
the gradnal restoration of confidence shall
have withdrawn life from gold gambling, and
the natural growth of the oountry in wealth,
population, and industry shall have absorbed
whatever excess oi ourrenoy mere now is over
bona fide financial wants, we shall not be
many degrees removed from resumption. It
will then be possible, n the Treasury ana ine
banks be meanwhile compelled to do their
duty. That stage reached, a formal enact
ment will be in order. It will be so beoause
in the oiroumstanoes stated a Congressional de
claration will amount to no more than a recog
nition of existing facts, as distinguished from
the attempt to perform the impossible pro
posed by Mr. Sherman, and in a milder man
ner by Mr. Morton.
And yet, though congress may pot nope to
legislate baok speoie payments on any direct
and epecilio plan, it wields a power by which
resumption may be accelerated. Only let us
have what Mr. Sohenok describes as "an eco
nomical and sagacious administration of our
financial affairs," and the natural reonperatlve
ptocess already in operatiou throughout the
country will be greatly strenghened. The
financial prospect derives whatever of gloom
it baa iu part from want of faith in the
fixedness of legislation, and the disposition
both of Congress and the Treasury to resort
to charlatanry under the pretense of pro
moting resumption; and in part also from
the injuries inflicted upon industry and trade
by unwise and oppressive taxation. Natural
tendencies are repressed or perverted. Bar
dens are imposed which a vigilant eoonotny
might lighten. Speculation is fostered by
causes which a' Secretary caring more for
general interests than theories or favorite
Cevices would extinguish. All these souroes
of embarrassment Congress mav, if it choose,
bring under wholesome regulation before the
close of the session. Tbe Supreme Court has
opened tbe road to healthy business by legal
izing, in effect, gold contracts. Wail-street
gambling hap received a cheok from the mea
sure forbidding the locking up of ourrenoy,
and it will be still further battled when the
Senate finds ti me to pass the lloue bills forbid,
ding secret sales of gold by the Treasury and
regulating the certification of checks by the
banks.
Another measure of importance which the
Senate persistently neglects is one forbidding
the increase of the cold-bearing debt. This,
in conjunction with Mr. Sohenok's declaratory
resolution In regard to the maintenance invio
late of the national obligations, would go far
towards strengthening ourcredlt abroad. And
this action is all possible without touching the
conflicting views which come into promtneuos
when the direct enactment of resumption is
mentioned.
If to these simple financial measures be
added the consistent economy which shall at
ouce pmlfy and cheapen tne Government and
facilitate large reductions in the amount uf
taxation, Congress will do nearly all tbat is
possible or desirable by way of restoring
specie payments.
