Ucncral Urant an n Military and as a
. l'ulitical Leader.
From the N. Y. Herald.
The cominerjceuaent of General Grant's mili
tary career was Dot brilliant. Almost under
any other ciroamstanoea it wouli have been
pronounced a failure. Ilia first affair at liei
mont, which was intended ae part of a grand
movement for the protection of Br. Loots and
the suppression of the Rebel sentiment in Mis
ouri, although comparatively ns ignifloant in
itself, did the Union cause but little good and
the enemy no harm. lie was mistrusted by
the commanding general, and even his subse
quent auooesses, the capture of Forts Henry
and Ponelaon, could not help a shadow being
thrown upon hia military reputation by the
disastrous first day's fighting at Shiloh and
Tittaburg Landing. He had to enoounter the
animosity of his superior and the jealousy of
his rival officers from that time even to the fall
of Vioksburg. He refused to fight aooording
to the prescribed rules of war ai laid down by
the red tape martinets in Washington, and
worked out problems of his own, sometimes
with partial and at others with complete suc
cess. He discarded the old rules and taotics
of European as well as our own regular armies,
as being entirely unadapted to the habits and
nature of the newly developed American sol
dier; and having the instinot to disoern the
ability of his officers and the disposition of his
troops, he had the sagacity to use them to ad
vantage and the genius to reap therefrom
legitimate fruits, lining an even-tempered
and unambitious man, he reconoileddiilerenoea
which otherwise might have led to serious
embarrassments and ripened into national
disasters. All this time he was, for obvious
reasons, encountering hostility in high official
quarters, aud it was not until his triumphant
banners entered Riohmond and the Rebellion
was pronounoed extinct that this hostility
ceased.
As General Grant oommenoed Lis military
SO has he commenced his political career. It
is not brilliant. His first movement, like that
at Belmont, was a comparative failure. His
Cabinet hitched. Here was a bother, if not a
blunder. He had to make a retrograde move
ment and reform his lines. He finally suc
ceeded in reorganizing hia staff of official
counsellors, and began the work of his politi
cal campaign. Here he was met by the odi
ous Tenure-of office act; and he finds that, as
,; in his military career he had to .encounter the
opposition of officials iu high quarters in the
Var Department at Washington, he has now
to be embarrassen with a similar hostility,
through the ambitious, designs of the oligar
chy in the United States Senate. The old
politicians, too, are annoying him
by their endeavors to oircumvent his
plans, and to make him believe that
party is superior to country, and that publio
plunder is the proper reward of those trading
partisans who helped to elevate him to the
Presidency. We believe he has a harder fight
now than he ever had iu the field, and that he
would any day rather face the blaze of an
enemy's battery than undergo the daily ordeal
ef meeting the battalions of office-seekers that
invest the White House. But his day is com
ing, just as surely as his standard rose above
the capital city of the foe. Ue is abused now
as he was on his partial suooe3srs during the
war, and the abuse that la now bestowed upon
him will in the end, a it was at the end of the
war, be turned to p:eaus of praise. He will
overoome obstacles that the envious, the
fanatical, the ambitious or the treacherous
may cast in his path. He will have a political
Vicksburg aa he had a military one; he will
Lave political suosesses similar to those mili
tary suooesses which followed in regular train
on the peninsula of Virginia, culminating in a
grand and final political Appomattox. The
ote on the Tenure-of-Office act shows that he
has the House with him, and the temper of the
Senate ia exhibited in its action Wednesday.
Ue cannot be impeached because the House
would pot originate the proceeding. There
fore he might as well go on, make his ap
pointments, let the Senate slide, and, after
demoralizing the radical party by a magnifi
cent etrategio movement, erect a party of hia
own that will rally around him in any emer
gency. Thus will his political mission begin
ning, like bis military career, in a somewhat
bungling manner end as that did, iu an efful
gent ray of glory, imparting alike union and
harmony, confidence and prosperity all over
the country.
"The Truth About Georgia.'
From the If. Y. Tribune.
Under this head the N. Y. Times indulges
in a tirade against Governor Bullock aud his
friends, which we pass over, choosing to deal
directly with the following passage:
"The Tribune, while blaming the Demoorats,
BUbBtantlally admits that the non-ratltloatloa
of tne amendment was a oonsequeuce of Re
publican opposition. II failed because the very
men who now cite Its failure as evidence of
local hostility to the policy of Congress, hai
resolved that it should not succeed."
The Tribune, to show how erroneous and
unjust are the above assertions, ia impelled
once more to oall attention to the controlling
antecedents of the recent action at Atlanta:
1. Congress passed an act or acts providing
for and prescribing terms of reconstruction for
the States lately in rebellion.
2. Georgia held a convention and framed a
constitution accordingly; and the present is
her first Legislature nnder that constitution.
3. The Legislature, as elected, oontained a
small Republican majority, whereof a portion
was wholly or in part of African lineage, and
a strong Demooratio minority, composed in
part of men who, by the terms of the recon
struction acts, were disqualified by prominent
participation in the Rebellion.
4. The Republioans waived or overruled all
objection to these disqualified Rebels, allow
ing them to sit and vote as though they were
legally qualified. By their votes, reinforced
by a few Republioans, Mesara. Hill (Republi
can)' " and Miller (D jmoorat) were chosen
United Statea Senators over Messrs. Brown
and Blodget,the regular Republican nominees.
6. The Demooratio minority, elated by the
nomination and oonQiently expecting the
election of Seymour and Blair, now proposed
the expulsion of all the colored members, and,
aided by the treachery of some white Repub
licans, oarried it, thus making the Legislature
Demooratio in enaer nonse.
6. The earnest Republicans (not the Timet'
ortt regard the Legislature aa invalidated by
this expulsion, and the reoonstruotion of
Georgia virtually overthrown. And they de
sire that Congress should in some way coun
teract and render nngatory the expulsion
nfnrRIil and ita consequences.
7. Under these circumstances the fifteenth
amendment oame before that expurgated Legis
lature for ratification. On its merlta every
Republican waa in favor, every Demoorat ad
Terse to it. But men of either party compre
hended that its ratification would tend power
fully to strengthen the disposition in Congress
to let Georgia alone, and treat her as finally
reconstructed. Hence some Demoorats voted
to ratify, hoping thus to fortify their doavntlo
position, while some Republicans veted not to
ratify, and others refused to - fo'
reasons identloal with those which impelled
tome Democrats (as aforesaid) to vote yea.
And. though the times roundly asserts that
'the ratification of the amendment would
have had do effect whatever upon the Demo
cratic members, their present position, or
their chances in the future," we submit that
legislators In Georgia were probably quite as
competent judges on that point aa any editor
!b New York can be.
In saying this, we by no means intimate
that the greater number of Republicans who
voted for ratification, as of Democrats who
voted against it, were less shrewd or less
earnest than their discenting brethren. It
was a case wherein the members of each party
were called to make what they considered a
ohoioe of evile; and some decided one way,
some another. Time must decide who were
the wiser and more discerning.
We have thus sucolntly set forth all the
material facts in the case. They seem to us
to refute most emphatically the assumptions
of the Times. The responsible authors, in our
view, of the present interregnum in Georgia
are those Demoorats who, nearly a year since,
expelled the colored members from their seats
in the Legislature. That was the root of bit
terness whence springs all that is now anoma
lous and tantalizing in the condition of that
State. Let the great wrong be redressed or
receded from, and the fifteeth amendment will
forthwith be ratified, whether any Democrats
shall see fit to vote for it or not and the State
will be fully restored to representation in Con
gress and to her proper place in the Union.
Uraut and the Two Houses.
From the If. Y. Herald.
Grant, as President, has encountered despe
rate opposition from the squad of outside poli
ticians the multitude of office-seekers who
have no other reasons to give in support of
their claims for placea than that they hur
rahed for "the party" before election and
hoped it would win. He would not recognize
these aa reasons; hence the hostility of this
element. He has also encountered a desperate
but ineffective opposition in the House of
Representatives and a stronger one in the
Senate. These inside oppositions are inspired
by the plunder rings, and that, of the Senate ia
the stronger because the Senate is more in the
hands of the men who buy aud Bell votes.
Fresh from the people, the members of the
House yet aot on those thoughts and sympa
thies that prevail among the people. They
have not yet been sufficiently long under the
hands of the jobbers. But the Senate has
another character. Ita membera stay
longer at Washington and are more
nnder the influences that .prevail there.
Wherever there is a new Senator, aa
we see in several cases notably that of Fen
ton his sympathies also are with the Presi
dent in hiB fight for the purity of the Govern
ment. Grant seems to act on thla view of the
elementa in organizing his friends in the two
houses. Judging by the clamor we hear
against Fenton from the more corrupt parts
of the Republican press, our new Senator
must stand high in Grant's confidence. We
believe he will prove a valuable support to
the Executive where he juat now needs sup
port most. Fenton ia a man who haa been
long in political life, haa had experienoe in
Washington, and, what is more, haa gone to
the top of that Jacob's ladder of experienoe
that is found in New York politics. Grant's
best friend in the House is a man, if possible,
even better suited to the work before him.
Butler is the strongest man in parliamentary
tactics, in political sagacity, in the rough and
tumble of discussion, or in a fair stand up
debate, that has made his appearance in the
Houeein a long while. Grant's measures in
Butler's bands are sure to carry everything
before them in one house, and in Fenton they
have a stroDg help in the other house. It is
an omen of good promise for Grant that he
shows hia old perception in seouring the right
sort of help.
Mr. (Jrant, Tlius Far.
From the N, Y. World.
The adulation bestowed on General Grant
by persons of sooial pretensions iu the Eastern
cities, who ought to have' been above such
fawning sycophancy, inspired the object ef
all this servile flattery with such an immode
rate conceit of himself that, when lie came to
the high office to which he had been' elected,
he was as a ship in a gale without rudder or
ballast. Whoever administered most to hia
vanity by worda er gifts had most of the con
fidence of the President-elect. When he
wrote and delivered hia . inaugural address.
we do not doubt that Grant really bblieved
he was equal to carrying on the exeoutive
department of the Federal Government
alone. To be sure, this insane condition of
mind waa made possible by hia downright
Ignorance. He had never read any books
since he left the narrow, one-Bided, and ele
mentary education which ia all that is fur
nished at West Point, it would be a safe bet
that never In hia life has he read the Consti
tution of his country from beginning to end.
He knew nothing of what la on reoord about
the triala and difficulties which have always
beset him who would make a great and good
civil government. Of the commonest narra
tives of English history he was altogether un
informed. His mind was a blank in respeet
to the inner working of the machinery of
the Government of hiB own country in those
crises in which Washington, Jefferson, or
Jackson stood at the helm and gave direction.
This deplorable destitution of knowledge
on the part of Giant was cunningly ex
ploited by all sorts of people, and the viotim
got at laBt into such a condition that
he was unhappy when removed from the
titillating flattery of these selfish men and
women. As a consequenoe, when informed
by a committee of Congress of his election to
be President, he babbled foolishly about hia
own personal headship of the administration;
how Ae should remove his own appointees, if
they failed to suit him, as readily aa those of
his predeoessor clearly intimating that he
would rid himself at any moment of a Cabinet
minister who should give him temporary dis
satisfaction. It never seemed to ocour tb him
that euoh language could not be safely used
about men who bad achieved sufficient emi
nence to be really fit for heads of departments.
No man, great and able, would consent to take
a leading part in the administration of a Pre
sident who felt no more interest in his own
appointees than in those of some one else.
This pretension and vainglory on the part of
Grant filled reflecting people with painful
dipgust, and made it clear to them that suoh a
President would not only fall into the handa
of oheap and worthless persons, but would do
thinga disgraoeful and stupid which would in
due time have to be undone.
The World was one of the first to foresee
and fix publio attention upon inevitable
events. Republican joarnals. true to the ia.
hests of partisanship, either could not or
would not see, and so, like the Evening Post,
Tribune, and Times, blundered on in the
Stewart business, for example without a
theory or plan of their own, but vainly look
ing to Grant for leadership. As waa to be
expeoted, after the effect of a delusion is
gone, some of these Republican journals are
now pelting with stones the idol wllob,
but three weeks ago, they so ostentatiously
worshipped. In the case of the Evening Pot,
"the fawning tyoopbaat of yesterday is ooa
verted into the austere critic of the pres-ot
hour." and the Tribune says "how art thoa,
my brother!" as oiten aa it darea. Sash
"blind guides" cannot fail toon to hear the
popular denunciation, "Woe to you I"
It will be remembered that the earliest and
most trusted advisers of President Graut were
Washbnrue and Rollins. By either of these
fourth-rate men he oould be led into any folly.
The latter induced him to sanction or write
letters or orders in respect to Mr. Binckley,
late Solicitor of the Internal Revenue, which
Judge Wylie, in passing sentence oa Binck
ley, said "should not be whltten, and It was
wrong to publish them." He added that the
"archives of the Government did not furnish
a similar case."
The oommenta of the Werld npon the
attempted revocation of the Depuy pardon are
not forgotten, nor the attempt of the Times
to vindicate the proposition of Grant, Wash
burne, and Rollins, that the pardon, being in
the hands of Marshal Murray, had not been
delivered to the petitioners, and therefore waa
revocable by the President. A similar effort
of revocation was made in Boston; and we will
permit the accomplished Federal attorney of
the Massachusetts District, Mr. George S.
Uillard, who brought the subject before the
court a day or two since, to state the faoU in
his own language. lie said:
' The Marshal received the pardon on the 5'U
of March, a document entirely nnllkethe usual
form of a pardon. The words 'and thereupon
was sentenced to on the day of are
erased. The word 'sentence' la used when there
hfls been no sentence. It Is In tuehand writing
of the AFslntaut Secretary of .State, t s I am In
formed. It reached the bunds of the Marshal
by mall on the 5ih of March, and la the after
noon of' that day was recalled to Washington.
The present Attorney-General, npon considera
tion of the subject, held that the p urdou, hav
ing been delivered to the Marshal, took effect,
and caused the document to be returned. In
his opinion I think he was right as a matter of
law."
And yet, when this outrage npon common
and Btatute law, no less than common sense,
was perpetrated by this triumvirate, every
Republican journal in New York was dumb,
or else, like the Times, vindicated the aot, and
oalled in question the correctness of the
opinions expressed by the World on a ques
tion of publio law.
Verily, "the makers of an idol have gone to
confusion 1"
What Kextl
From the N. Y. World.
"The sudden and sweeping reversal or the
order concerning the relations of the staff offi
cers In the War Department to the General of
the Army, with which the accession of General
Hbermau was recently signalized, is remarkable.
What is Its meaning ?" iV. Y. Tribune.
Not at all remarkable 1 It la only one more
in the lengthening list of the blundera of
President Grant. It ia Stewart's base over
again, with the difference that Grant has not
asked Congress to repeal the laws which he
violated. It is muoh the same aa the attempt
to revoke the pardons of his immediate prede
cessor, which Judge Hoar has told hia chief he
had no legal power to make. Aa proof of the
universality and deuseness of the ignorance
of the President on all matters of publio law,
thia last aboit ia perhaps more convincing
than its predecessors, inasmuch as Grant has
claimed to be an expert in army matters and
army legislation. The Wirld denounced the
original order of March 5, 18G9, and thus the
eyes of the military hierarchy at Washington
were opened.
The idea of taking away from the Seoretary
of War the authority whioh he had heretofore
exercised in military matters, aud conferring
it on the General of the Army, ha3 been a pet
with Grant for long time. When not dis
coursing of horses and pups, he talked of
how, by reason of the absence of General
Soott from Washington with hia headquarters
in this city or West Point, the War Depart
ment had been enabled to perfect ita usurpa
tion, and make the Adjutant-General, Bitting
in the .War Office, in effect the commanding
officer of the army. So when he got to be
President he fired off the order whioh he haa
just now been compelled to rescind, because
it vested in General Sherman the control of
matters wherein, by law, the judgment of the
Secretary of War must be exercised and de
clared. The General Order No. 11 abolished,
in great part, the offioe of Seoretary of War,
just as the performances of Admiral Porter
annul and set aside the functions of the Seo
retary of the Navy. It required, in the pre
sent case, twenty-three days for Graut to
comprehend that his order to Schofield of
March d, isou, waa not, aa a legal order,
worth the paper on which it waa written.
