President Wrant from the iV. Y. Tribune. It is not often that a President ia Assailed t the ontBet of Lis administration with the vindictiTeness shown by th Democratic press to President Grant. In all free governunnts the least courtesy auy party in opposition can show to a new administration is patlenoa. The transition from one rule to another is awkward, aud oftentimes attended with jars and "tumbling. Tbe men who oom In now are new to their work, aul to eaou other. Until they gain this knowledge, matters will go slowly. A new government generally means a new policy, aud any new policy is, to a certain extent, experimental. There is the clamorous appealing of mtn who want oflloe. Their claims are eagerly pressed, and in many cases their claims are just. The old politician who wants rest, the young politioian who craves for honors, the "friends" of Senators and Representatives And men high in station the multitnlinoua gathering of ambitious party men who de mand recognition," all press upon the new President. Every expectant goes to Wash ington with his own ideas of his services to the party. As these ideas are only limited by the vanity or the ambition of each particular candidate, a slight knowledge of human nature will show the vastnesa and turbulence of the currents ef office-beggars which sweep around the President. We presume there are ten men asking for office to one that can be ap pointed. The disappointments that oome from this form a large part of the vexation and criticism which attend the beginning of every sew administration. There la Also a peculiar trouble attending any new Government that begins with the policy of reform. General Grant la the Presi dent of reform. The Republican party dwelt upon that feature of its platform with repeated emphasis. We know how slow every reform must be how patiently an administration tnnst labor to accomplish it, and how very diffloult it is to realize the dreams of enthusi astio and imaginative supporters. Andrew Johnson was a bad President, and the tone of cur Government was reduced by him to a lower pitoh than at any former period of our butory. it was baa enough nuder JaoKson and Tyler; hut with all their faults they com manded personal reaped. Mr. Johnson was disliked both as a man And a President, except ly a small circle of bad men. This dislike culminated in a yearning for Grant, so general, so deep, we might almost say so plaintive and sentimental, that when it was really known he was President the joy was rapturous and exulting. Men said in their gladness: "Now we shall have peace, security, reform, econo my, strength, good harvests, stimulated com merce, a better currency, and every blessing of good government." Well, men may vow reformation, and declare that seven half-penny loaves shall be sold for a penny 1 When aa unpopular minister was once overthrown in England (he poets Bang of a ministry by Which "private life" ooull be by "wise aots reolalmed," And Ardent youth to nobler man ners framed. The fall of DUraeli and the aooesBion of Gladstone and Bright we have no doubt meant to many hopetul Englishmen the instant remedy of every evil nuder which the British people have Buttered Ireland paoified, labor happy and more content. Thse good results, and all good results, only come with patience and effort and time 1 After a fever the body is weak, and after dissipation the natural sources are clogged and sluggish. Thus it is with man and to a certain sense with nations I We have gone through a war, And have been dissipating with an Inflated ourrenoy, and a vast debt, and a weakened credit, and wasting our substance in a hundred ways. . For eight years we have suffered from the war and Andrew Johnson, and beoause the President iu the twenty five days of hia government has not succeeded ia resoning us from All these evils, he ia held up to pnblio eoorn as a failure aa a ruler who doea not oomprehend the dutiea of his station as a mere "man on horseback," insensible to the wants and wishes of the coantry. lie has done nothing but blunder, we are told ! Ilia Cabinet is a "blunder." Well, let us look at that I The Secretary of State caunot have a polioy less in harmony with the country than that of the former "deacon." The Seoretary of the Treasury ia aa muoh better than the one who preceded him aa it ia possible for com parison to express. In the place of Browning and his Indian And railroad scandals, we have a man of commanding ability and purity of character. Randall has given place to Crea well, And Ev Arts resigns the office which he bought with a prioe, to one of the wisest and best men in Massachusetts. Mr. Bjrie takes experience, culture, respectability, purity of character, and business eminence into the office where Mr. Wellea has sat so long like the Old Man of the Sea. With tbe exception of Washington's first Cabinet, which oontatned Jefferson and Hamilton, and Mauroe's Cabinet, whloh had Qulucy Adams, Crawford, Calhoun, MoLean, and Wirt, and probably Polk's, with Cuohanan, Walker, Uarcy, aud ltuoroft, the Cabinet of President Grant ia as strong in intellectual force as the Cabiuet of any former President. We expsjt a greit deal from Mr. Biutwell in his great office, and especially from Mr. Creswoll aud- Gdneral Cox. The Cabinet is not the only "blun der," however. The appointuieut of Mr. Stewart indicated an "ignorauce of law " Well, lawyers like Hendricks voted for the confirmation, and maty men learned in the law argued that Mr. Stewart could take his portfolio. Ve did not agree with them. Mr. Stewart would have pleased us as Secretary, but we ware not pleased with the manner lu whioh he pro- Dosed to be secretary. We ihir.ird with the President. He was wise enough to ohangehis mind. After four years ot the irresolnte xnullshness of Andrew Johnson, let ua thank Heaven that we have a man who can change bla mind. The Stewart business was, per haps, clumsy; but it was the clumsiness of an honest man trying to do a wise thing. The smallest of A. J.'s vetoes did a hundred times more harm. As to the patronage thus far, we have a better proportion of good ineu going iuvo viuoo iuiu we uave seen tor mauv years. The clamor about family and nerdonal an. pointments is only the old ory of the men who are out agamsi me men wno are iu. we aonoi expect lrom Geut-ral Grant an Infallible administration. We presume he will make blunders. The wisest of men have tripped and fallen. He is truly wise and great wno Keeps aieauuy on to nia purpose- every step bringing with it a new lesson every success only stimulating to new suo cesses every blunder serving as an admoni tion. The President has done nothing to change the oonildenoe of the oountry he has done everything to strengthen it. Our credit is better beoause General Grant is President. In the South peace reigns treason recogniz ing the moral weight of his power, aud not needing any physical manifestation. . Every step indicates that the work of reform ia beiDg steadily and slowly pressed.- The labor Is tedious, surrounded with embarrassments that cannot be expressed and oan hardly be appre ciated. The men are In office who mean to do ft. Their hands should be strengthened. This is our Uepublioan President, worthy of all that we have done for him, worthy still more of the support of the whole oountry. Let bis enemies oritiulze and sneer, and de tract we only ask that this Administration eball be jndged by Its results, And until those results Are achieved pAtienoe And confidence. As for the President, we shall only quote the fanciful conceit of Tennyion: "The path of duly la tbe way to glory, He that ever following hf r comoimds, On with toll of hearts, and kneei, and hands, Thro' the long gorge to the far light Una won Hid path upward, and prevailed Hball find the toppling crag of Duty scaled, Areclose upon the Miinluit table lands To which our Uod Himself Is moon and sun." Rewards of the Political Abolitionists. From the If. Y. World. The great anti-slavery movement by which the country was precipitated into a bloody civil war derived its ohief impulse from political ambition. Tne Garrison-Phillips abolitionists were indeed mere fauatica, or, if you please, philanthropists, without political hopes or aspirations; but if the anti-slavery movement had been left in their bands, it would have resulted in nothing but empty agitation among a small band of headloug, excitable people. It was not till calculating politicians took it up, and saw that politioal capital could be made out of it, that it as sumed formidable proportions and con vulsed the oountry. The politicians did not aim at the abolition of slavery, but to play upon the natural repugnance- of Northern citizens to that institution, as a means of building np a political party and gaining control of the Federal Government. They steadily disclaimed any intention to disturb slavery in the States. By preventing its extension into new Terri tories, they would not have released a single negro from thraldom. A negro would be none the less a slave by confining him within certain geographical limits. The anti-slavery politicians did not seek to confer freedom on the blacks, but only to open a career for their own ambition. Slavery was at length abolished by the suicidal folly of the South in attempt ing to sever the Union; an attempt which was certain to be resisted by arms, and to end, if the war was protracted, in the overthrow of the institution for whose protec tion the war was waged. It ia absurd to credit the Republican party with a result which it never had in contemplation nntil after the shock of arma had shaken slavery to its foundations. That the aim of the party was merely politioal and selfish is proved by the fact that it steadily disavowed any intention to confer liberty upon a single human being. Not many slaves would have been taken into the new Territories, when the climate was nnsuited to their labor. A few might have been carried thither aa domes tic servants in wealthy families, the most easy and desirable form of servitude. Slaves in new Territories would have found an Improved condition and kinder treatment. The Repub lican politicians must be judged by what they aimed at; they deserve no credit for what was accomplished by the progress of events and the force of circumstances. The rewards of the most noted Republican leaders have been pretty well proportioned to their deserts. There is hardly a man who was conspicuous and influential in inspiring the anti-slavery movement and building np the Republican party, whose fondest hopes have not been blasted, whose career has not ended in bitter disappointment, who has not found the coveted fruit turn to ashes in hia mouth. Mr. Seward, altogether the ablest and perhaps the most ambitious politioian in the Republi can party, has gone ipto final retirement after a long succession of bitter and humiliating disappointments. Ten years ago there was no member of the Republican party who, if asked to name the first man in it, would have hesi tated an instant to say William U. Seward. He was its universally re cognized leader, its foremost statesman, the originator of its ideas, the author of its watchwords, the chief object of Demooratio attacks and of Republican eulogies, its one orator who spoke with the greatest weight of authority, the one man whose every utterance was promptly published in every Republican newspaper and eagerly read by every Republi can voter. It was he that nursed the Repub lican party into vigor; that shaped its policy: that strengthened its organization; that confi dently, and not unreasonably, expeoted to be its official as well as its intellectual head, if it should ever be strong enough to elect a Presi dent. But Nemesis is ever on the watch, and it was Mr. Seward's destiny to be constantly supplanted by small rivals, constantly sub iected to the keen humiliation of seeing ele vated over his neaa men wnose claims on the party bore no proportion to his own. Another 01 tne uepnmican leaders wno naa encountered from the party an incessant series of slights is Mr. Greeley. Without him and ma newspaper tne anti-Biavery agitation would, have made comparatively little progress among the masses of the people. But the party lias never bestowed upon him any of the recognition and rewardaby which political services are usually requited, lie was onoe a member of Congress for a brief period to fill out the fraotion of an unexpired term; but that was while he was simply a Whig, long Deiore me uepnDiioan party uad an existence. The party which he, next to Seward, some may think beyond Seward, has done more than any other man to build np, has never paid him the compliment even of a nomiua tion to any desirable office, although it haa for many years had the bestowal of nearly all the offices in the conntry. It has never nomi nated him for Governor, it has again and again refused to eleot him Senator: he haa never had the offer of a plaoe in the Cabinet or of a foreign mission. Mr. Linooln put a blur upon mm ana tried to render him ridiou Ions, by making him the yoke-fellow of that care-brained fool, Loloralo Jewett. aud send iug him on a bootless peace mission to Niagara cans. Another of the most distinguished of the Republican magnates and party chiefs was Mr. Chase, who has fallen short of his aspira tions, and regarded hia appointment to the bench of the Supreme Court aa an exile from his chosen sphere. He was au unfaltering anti-fclavery man from the beginning; he haa alwaya bad an intense desire to be President; he had far higher claims to that honor than any man on whom the Republican party ever bestowed it; but never made a respectable show in any Republican National Convention. We might extend this list until it Included all the most distinguished leaders of the Republi can party, and we should find a repetition of the same story of blasted hopes and dis appointed ambition. Fremont had the empty honor of a nomination when he had done nothing to deserve it; but his mill- vary uruer in tbe west which first sounded the tooBln of emancipation, though greatly applauded by the radloAl press, never met with Any Bolld recognition. The family of the lilairB, who were Fremont's politioal oreators, never reoeived anything from the Republican party tut the oflioe of Postmaster-General, which was taken awAy in . such mAuner V df,tr?y U the satisfaction of ever haviog filled it. Cameron, who undertook to ride the anti-slavery hobby aud make him self a oandidate for the Presidency, shared tbe common fat. The Republican party has had three Presidents; but none of the three ever oontribnted either inflnenoe or Ideas to building up the party previous to hia elec tion. Linooln was an obscure Illinois lawyer; Johnson a vigorous pro-slavery Demoorat until the war broke out; Grant au eleventh-hour convert who joined the pArty to get elected President. The anti slavery leaders have beaten the bush for otheis to catch the bird. Never did a great politioal game so completely disappoint the expectations of those who hal the chit f hand in plating it. It la a uiot im pressive warning against the folly, as well as the wickedness, of plunglog a conntry into convulsions and civil war aa a means of open ing a great career ior amouion. 'lhe anti-slavery ohlefs have not only failed in their aspirations for office, but they have nearly au uiaae snipwrecK ol tneir popularity wuu me party wuicu tney oreated. The Re publican party no longer treats with honor, affection, esteem, or trust, either Seward, or unase, or ureeiey, or tremont, or the Blairs. or oameron, or veea, or any ot tne men whose energy, astuteness, and influence called the party into existenoe, moulded its organi zation, and led it to victory. The fruits of their ambition cannot be better described than In the words of Webster in that striking Das- sage of his reply to Hayne in which he gave a siueiong nu at vainoun: "inose who mur dered 'Banqno,' what did they win by it 1 Substantial good? Permanent power? Or disappointment, rather, and sore mortification; duRt and ashes, the common fate of vaulting amniuon overleaping ltseiir" The Campaigning Season hi Europe. From the N. Y. Times. The campaigning season in Europe ia now Here, ana two slight simultaneous movements ef Prussia and France have heralded its coming. The former power haa mobilized ita troops kin tne western provinoes, and in stantly thereupon tbe latter has demanded an "explanation," pending which it has put an end to tne winter's furloughs, and or dered all officers and privates now on leave of absence to re lorn their regiments on the 1st of April. In addition to thia, we have the unpleasant and suspicious relatione between France aud Belgium so muoh, and nothiog more, aa tbe Bum or disquieting military rumors. Clearly, therefore, there is as yet nothing alarming in the news. The Prussian action is explicable; the trencn demand for ex planation is natural; and the latter's recall of lurloughed officers ana men is an ordinary procedure. Suppose, however, the Prussian answer should be evasive and unsatisfactory; in that case it might possibly be construed as the "insult" which tbe trench Minister of War is preparing against, and we should have instant war. We must remember also that. after the experience of the Austro-Prussian war, begun iu May, and finished ere midsum mer, a tranquil winter no longer guarantees a peaceful spring, nations alwaya armed cap-a- ;'(? need sound no warning note of prepara tion, and can let a word be quickly followed by a blow. .Nevertheless, taking all luto account, we cannot look for war yet. We do not believe. however, with the Paris correspondent of the Jiiltish Army and jyiavu uazeite, that the J5al- gian business will nd in the Frenoh Govern ment's hanging down its head and looking penitent, while Marshal Mel is forced to put bimselt in a corner, "thrust a nager into bis mouth and sob." On the contrary, the reoent French aotion shows that the Government ia going to begin the season with prompt aotion; despising, to be sure, the taunts and irrita tions of Prussian papers, but overlooking no action of the ISerliu Uevernmnt. The pre sent, meanwhile, is an important moment. The authority already quoted haa prophesied that "if the Frenoh Emperor meana fighting thia year, he will open the ball iu about a month, when the six-months-leave men join their respective corps." 1'or a few days or weeks, therefore, all eyes will turn toward the Rhine. Our Financial and Political Plunderers. from the IT. Y. Herald. When our war for the consolidation of the Union broke out, government was a pleasure. not a burden, to the oountry. Everything flourished, and indefinite expansion invited internal and external enterprise. Oar oom- meroe, so absolutely essential to national greatness, was the boast of the nation, and in every port we waged a generous rivalry with the European maritime nations for tbe carry ing trade of the world, uur foreign or regis tered tonnage in 1857 was z,4bd.yu7 tons, la 1867 Jt had decreased to 1,213,812 tons, allow ing for the new system of measurement. These figure a decrease of over fifty per cent, iu ten years. It will be said that the English piratical expeditions caused this. They cer tainly did not cause a decrease In our domestlo inland tonnage, w til oh was, in isoi, d,4U4,auu tone, and in 18G7, 2,202,942 tons a decrease of thirty-three per cent. In three years. Our national debt in 18G0 was less than sixty five millions of dollars. It ia to-day over two thousand five hundred millions. The ex penses of administration were then estimated at sixty-two millions; now they have swollen to over three hundred millious. In 18G0 the President, iu his annual message, in speaking of the finances and comparing the Government expenditures with those ot previous years, said: "An overflowing Treasury bad pro duct d habits of prodigality and extravaganoe blcb could oiily to gradually corrected." If thia was was said of IS GO, what Bhould be said of lbb9r Three hundred millions of dollars administrative expenses against about one-uli that amount in lbuui And yet we have not grown five times as large, have not five times the population, commerce, internal tiaie, and general national development we had H 1 SUO. It la true one hundred and forty millions of our expendi tures go for interest; but cixty millions go for civil service, the ktter. an euormoua amount for tbe purpose, ia about equal to our whole expenses eight years ajiO. While all these financial and commercial evils have been openly accumulating, there have been grow ing up in their sba low certain assooiotions which, feeing how poorly guarded is the national wealth, have, with eatauio wisdom. supposed thatin t'e decline of all prosperity it is Weil to Btruggld for the spoils. These associations curse ua more than our real rational delit, and when we consider how- they bleed us of our wealtn.we feel that our in terest-bearing debt ia something near ten thousand millions of dollars. So great is the inflnenoe of the associations emana'incr from thu illicit manufacture of whishv. from the Lnilding of railroads with the publlo plunder, and the thousand and one m'.tor "jobs" that lance the veins of the na tion, that they may.be said to rule what honest, unsuspecting people are under the delusion Is our republic. The "rings" have wormed into Congress nntil its prlndpAl branch stands lHe a rotten log In our pAthwAy. Tlx. D&tiovi frutn t he lUbni of the war, from the wreck of eur oommeroe, from tbe national debt, and from the many evil that tne last xiirlit vir liavu umrralud UDOa US, All the elements of financial and consequent political oorruDtion. aud have rolled them nnder the wings of that august old hen, the Senate of the t idied States. There Bhe sits in her wis dom, mounted upon the hundreds of millions Of annual spoils, clucking and clnoklng over the eggs, twisting them, turning them, and trying to hatch something acceptable from them. The only prodnot that marks the last four years of this Senatorial incubation is the Tenure-of-Office act, and to this bird of evil omen the Senate clings with as muoh tenaolty as any old hen ever clang to a single chicken. We nave in a few bold dashes shown our financial and commercial condition. We pre sent the pioture to the Senate. Dees it sup pore that the nation will tolerate it muoh longer if it clings to and protects everything that threatens political dissolution and the ruin of our prosperity ? It mistakes the tem per of our people. We are not made of snob. poor material. The refusal to repeat the Tenure-of Office aot after the people, by elect ing Grant, repealed it by their votes, shows to-day that tbe Senate is iu conflict with the people, who fancy that they placed tbe sena tors in their seats to make such laws aa the States North and South desire. Instead of taking this view of It, the Senate haa beoome so corrupt that, In its blindness, it Imagines that It is simply a party instrument plaoed in power to control the vast wealth of the natiou and make such laws as the subtle bralna of the men behind the scenes may suggest as neces sary to increase the plunder. Death sometimes occurs because the reme dy is applied too late. It is often so in the bistory of nations. The people have too often waited until the wail of revolution waa forced from them by the very weight of intolerable government. Tbe people of the United states have the sense to profit by historical prece dent, and reasowfrom it. They will not wait nntil the Senate, after destroying the Execu tive power, usurps also that of the judiolary, and enthrones itself upon the ruins of our Constitution. They will at cnoe deoide that it is better for the nation to overturn the Senate than to have the Senate go on in its usurpations until it overturns the nation. Both these measures would be revolutionary; but a lesser revolu tion at once is better than a great revolution in the future. The former would be effected while the people have yet some religious, politioal, and financial morals which the ruin ous Senatorial legislation haa not yet touohed. By waiting a few years longer there may be but little of thia left, and the way may be well prepared for a revolution out of which we might only hope to emerge by a desperate struggle of years, and by the retracing after wards of the retrograde step with which the Senate now threatens us. We say the people in preference to the Senate, and down with the senate ratber than down with tbe people I BEDS, MATTREStES, ETC.
