GRANT'S roLIFICAL CAREER.
J-Vom the A. 1'. Herald.
"Grant's career in politics recalls already
certain of the striking points of bis career in
war, and his military history (supplies material
for tbe most likely Judgment of Big future,
lie blundered at first. U was beaten some
times so treniendoiiBly that almost any other
soldier would have lost hart, and, facing to
the right about, brought off the demoralized
fragments of an army. McDowell at the last
minute of Ball Run was nothing like so badly
beaten as Grant was on the first day at Shi
loh, and the force that Mc:Clllan hustled to
Harrison's landing was one flushed with vio
tory and conscious strength, infinitely supe
rior In every respect to the force with which
Grant still held his lines on that first day. One
general retreats with a splendid army, that
moves away from the enemy against its will,
and the other crushes the enemy with a foroe
that hardly hangs together. Without dispo
sition to disparage Grant's military achieve
ments, it is still clear that he gained many
battles under a rule hinted at by Napoleon,
who said that at the last it was only a ques
tion who would run away first. Grant always
stayed. Ills tenacity turned the tables. Ue
always considered that the force that hud
worked him down to nearly nothing hal in
doing this worked itself down to about the
same figure, and things were still even, lie
could think of tbe enemy's distress as well as
of his own. He was able so far to command
his thoughts that he could lose sight of every
thing but the grand objeet, and he ever de
sired to save his amy from the ruin of re
treat. Some generals had their retreats so
beautifully planned out before the battle that
they could not bear to close it in any other
way.
In all this is seen a man having faith in
himself and faith in the chapter of aooidents,
able to apply the ordinary methods aud modes
of common sense to problems of the very
highest importance, knowing that viotory and
defeat are often so near alike that one must
wait to distinguish between the two, and be
willing to wait a man not thin-skinned, re
ceiving no impression from defeat, and only
fighting on. Here is a man, then, who can
learn by experience, aud oan stand the neces
sary experience, not only without exhaustion,
bat without perturbation. The problems of
our politioal lives are not the most difficult
ones. Indeed, the average man of our politioal
system is far from being a wonder of intellectual
power, and it is no great compliment to Grant
to say that he is decidedly above this average.
Kay, we cannot readily call npin thought any
single man of publio life who is so out of the
ordinary proportion, so muoh above the ave
rage ability, that a comparison of him with
Grant would sound extravagant, aud we oan
call np a multitude of pigmies far below him,
yet successful in politics. Grant, we take it,
is quite equal to any seienoe that could be
mastered by those great chosen men of the
Senate our foreign ministers. Neither do
we believe that any of the great politicians
in the Cabinet quite dwarf him. Even in the
Senate we have not seen the man that makes
ns ashamed of Grant. Grant is equal to any
of these men greatly superior to the ma
jority, and needs only the experience of their
operations to beat them on their own ground.
.pamlnondas, by beating tbe BpartanB,
taught them how to beat him, and Grant
will learn the trade of politios in that Spartan
way.
, A WEST INDIAN UTOPIA.
From the N. Y. Times.
The "latest intelligence by mail" from St.
Domingo represents everything there to be in
a state of blissful tranquillity and luxurious
riohness, hardly to be looked for this side of
the Isles of the Blest. According to this rose
colored story (of which Mr. Banks himself
need not have been ashamed) "the country is
very quiet," the "crops are abundant, par
ticularly tobaooo" (that seduotive creature
comfort), "the people are orderly and inoffen
sive," "no hostile expeditions" against the
Dominioan Government . have been even
"heard of at the capital." President Baez "is
considered by the majority of the people to be
the wisest and most moderate ruler who has
been at the head of the Government for many
years past," and last, but not least, in this
grand climax of terrestrial felioity, "the
natives consider annexation to the United
States the greatest blessing whioh could
occur."
All this at San Domingo, on or about April
18. In view of suoh a state of mundane hap
piness, greater than is vouchsafed to most of
mortals, are we right to annex this West In
dian Utopia? Are we morally and politically
fit to bring it under our wing? Ought we to
remove this people from the wise and benefi
cent Baez, and expose them to the wiles of
Washington and the temptations of Tam
many? Ought we not rather, in simple hu
manity, to let these unsophisticated islanders
aloirt, to enjoy tbeir peaoe and harmony, or,
at utmost, prepare ourselves, by along course
of politioal monaRtioiem and flagellation, to be
annexed to tbem?
. Meanwhile, however, we have had by
Havana telegraph some different news; that,
ga far from the country being "very quiet,"
it is agitated with political disorder and con
vulsed with revolution; that, so far from the
people being "orderly and inoffensive," they
are prone, yea, habituated to insurrection;
that so far from "no hostile expedition having
been beard of," Cabral is in arms and leading
a powerful force againut his old foe; that, so
far from the people being "in oomplete har
mony with the administration of President
Baez," some of them have lately defeated his
troops in a pitched battle, with heavy loss.
And, in fine, whereas we are now told that "the
people of all parties, occupations and creeds are
anxious for early annexation to the United
States," and again that "the natives consider
annexation the greatest blessing which could
occur " it was only the other day that, when
one of our shlps-of-war appeared to ooal in the
Bay of Samana, "the greatest excitement and
anxiety were manifested," we are told, lest
tbe event "portended annexation." We
know also that Cabral ana uis followers are
specially opposed to any sale or bargaining of
Dominioan territory.
On which side the more canards are pub
lished, and whe'her the Dominioans do or do
not want to be annexed, It is very bard at this
distance to decide; but it is o'ear that the latter
must all make np their miuds on the subject
before we unaertaxe 10 act,
GEN. BUTLER AND THE N. 0. "TIME3
From thti N. O. Jtrmiblican.
ti. New Orleans 7 imex oalls General But
ler the "Mephistophiles" of Congress, and
upbraids him with his heartleapness during
the war, where It rejoices that he "aoqulred
the unenviable synonym of Beast." The
Time was brought iut existence by parties
ont their Brut thriving under the admin-
tinn of General Butler in this city. It
nowr failed or swerved in alleeianoe to the
ideas irjangurated here by the General so long
as it paid. When thorse Ideas oeaeed to pay a
few years ago, none so nnfalllng and nnswerv-1
log to other views as the Tim,: If the true I
but secret sense of a majority of the people of
iv nri.nnx could be taken to day a tbe
snbjeot of the ability, correctness, and benefi
cial results of General Butler's publio admin
istration of the affairs of this olty, we believe
the limes, voting in the negative, would find
it pelf in a sorry minority. Under his wine
military rule the terrible sufft r'njs of the p or
of the olty were mtrh alleviated; all crime and
lawless abuses promptly put an end to, while
the finances and credit of the city were made as
good as any in the country; all this, and much
more in the way of providing for the sauitary
condition of the city more effectively than it
had ever been done before or sinue, giving
food to those in actual want, and generally
looking after the peace, interest, and comfort
of all well-oonducted citizens, the people se
cretly feel and know he did, despite the aoou
sation of heartleREness brought against him
by our contemporary. Whatever certain par
ties, politicians and the like here aud else
where, may say against General Butler, it
does not become the people of New Orleans,
or those who profess to represent their feel
ings, to inveigh too heavily against him. He
was in a position here where, had he not pos
sessed the enlarged and liberal views of a
statesman and humanitarian, instead of the
mean, despicable disposition the Timet would
have us believe, be might have inflicted un
told sufferings and agony upon the olty which
was so bitterly opposed to him in political and
social feelings. A 11 honor, say we, to General
Butler, at least for his conduct here, which,
when history shall be impartially written,
will be pronounced able and magnanimous.
A NEW FORM OF SLAVERY.
Fr'iin the Wahiijtoit Xatiimal Intelligencer,
In many respects the negro is as much a
slave to-day as he was six years ago. Nine
tenths of them are enrolled in the Loyal
Leagues, and are bound by oaths to obey their
superiors and masters. They move like
sheep, and dare not disobey under peril of
persecution in their business, sooial ostraoism,
and personal violence, even to the taking of
life. The few negroes who, some years ago, in
Virginia, undertook to act independently and
vote with the conservatives, were set upon and
barely escaped with their lives. We thus
see a most slavish despotism ereoted over the
African. If he has manhood in him he
rarely dares to assert it. The only difference is
that he has changed his master. Once proba
bly he had a gentleman for his master, and
not unlikely an indulgent and liberal one,
who, while he exacted compulsory labor from
him, respected his feelings, and was his firm
friend and well-wisher. Now, instead of a
gentleman whom he can respect to control
him, he is completely managed and owned by
creatures who are the very opposite of gentle
men men selfish, rapacious, cunning, and
unscrupulous, using the negro for their own
advantage, and ready to throw him oil the
day after the eleotion. Of thi two forms of
slavery surely the first is the least degrading
to the black man. In the old days the better
class of negroes were very solicitous to be
owned by gentlemen. They did not relish the
idea of falling into the hands of mean and
vulgar whites for masters. A little of this
sensibility would just now be very appro
priate. Let them throw off the slavery of the
Leagues and the carpet-baggers. This is the
first step to elevate the black race.
"WOMAN IN THE LYCEUM."
From the A'. '. Tribune.
In the pretty theatre of the Union League
Club, on Monday night, Miss Kate Field had
her bright exouse tor being for being a leo
tnrer, we mean. It seemed to ns a sign of
tbe times that a very fashionable audience, in
very fashionable clothes, filled this most fash
ionable of assembly-rooms, to hear a woman
speak. For, though Mrs. Lucy Stone instructs
conventions, and Miss Anna Dickinson de
lights mass-meetings, feminine oratory is still
mentioned with condescension, and the feml
nice orator has not, in these latter days,
been considered "the thing." We say in
these latter days, for our most conservative
tourist is confronted at Padua by the statue
of Elena Cornaro, lecturer on philology
and professor of six languages in the un
rivaled University of her time. Clotilda
Zambronl was almost as appalling, yet
her age endured her with philosophy. And
no hint comes down to us that Deborah was
counted strong-minded by her neighbors,
though she judged the people, and wrote
history. In America, where the logisal result
of our national formula of equal rights is the
perfect freedom of woman, as of man, to do
any woifc, to achieve any sucoess which
natural endowments make possible, it seems
an odd thing that women have not long ago
settled beyond dispute their claim that ability
decides the question of fitness. That it is by
no means settled is proved by the discussion
everywhere provoked in newspapers, in
magazines, in legislatures, in pulpits. Nay,
the lecture of Monday night was a protest
against the prevailing sentiment in respect to
women's work. i
The one poisoned shaft whioh has been flung
at all women who asserted that noble work
undertaken for noble ends was neither man's
work nor woman's work, but human work, a
tbiBg higher than either, is the epithet "un-
femimne." It is what the subtle professor
calls a polarized word, which has come to
represent certain things whioh in no wise
belong to it. Now, if he cool 1 polarize the
word, we should have eome hope of testing
the thing it misrepresents. To be femiuine
Is to be gentle, modest, truthful, pare,
intuitive. It is not to b idle, extravagant,
silly, vain, thoughtless, showy, empty. Now
let ns question the occasion. A leoturer
asks us to hear some thoughts which seem
to. her to have a certain social significance.
We go. paying our dollar at the door, as
we should pay it to hear tbe full-throated
l'arepa. So far. nothitg unl'euiinine. The
lady enters quietly, as she would enter her
own drawing-room, appearing, with exquisite
breeding, on the very ftrcke of the clock.
Certain famous orators aud singers might pon
der to advantage this leaf of her behavior
bcok. H,r audience is pleased to see her, and
she looks pleased that she givs pleasure.
Unless floating robes, aud suit ribbons, and
the breath ol flowers, aud eay, and graoe,
are tm feminine, she has not yet offdnded.
In a low, thoroughly-trained vo'oe, she reals
her essay. But It I suoh rea iug as we do
not often hear. The airy, conversational tone;
the pure enunciation; the absolute, and, alas!
unusual justice meted out to worthy, but too
oftt-n unaoknowledged vowels; the entire ab
sence of preaching on the one hand and of
fl.ppancv ou the other-are Mi-su nnfemiuine f
The n-ad-r says, in effect, that since the plat
foim ctle.s room and pay to women, and sinoe
nature, however mUUkeu, seeui very posi
tively to have bestowed oa women special
oratorical gift, n ,ppMr8 t0 her wt, of

the car of her triumph, literature and history
are tributary to her, and small elves of wit
and imagination oover with fantaatto rarlauds
thope heavy weights, aud make even Bt. Paul
less convincing than Artemas Ward.
We confess that at the end of an hour aud
a quarter we bad sot been shocked, alarmed,
nor harrowed np. The landmarks of our
fathers seemed to us reasonably seonre. No
vision of hundreds of thousands of women
rushing madly to the platform, to the State
House, to the editorial room, to push us from
our stools, appalled us. We did not even feel
that the country was done for. On the other
band, we did wonder why we were surprised at
tbe sucoess of the leoturer and the satisfaction
of the audience.
Has it not been, in part, the fault of tbe
pioneers of this reform, that the reform has
anflVrei unnecessary obloquy? There are
names among those of women speoially known
as woman's r'ghts women whioh repre-ent
a courage like Joan of Arc's, a steadfast eniu
ranoe like Mary Patten's. Bat many of the
representative women seem to us to have
committed the very offenses they most vehe
mently denounoe. Man was a tyrant, exact
ing, ungenerous, fierce, cruel, determined.
And in speech most exacting, ungenerous,
fierce, cruel, and determined, they demanded
his overthrow. A conservative world, which
did not perhaps love King Log, nevertheless
stood in mortal terror of King Stork, and the
dynasty remained in power. Now insidious
voices whisper here and there, "King Log is
not so bad, but let us have a Queen Log, too."
Aud there seems a reasonable hope that lier
Majesty will soon be enthroned. It is flue
women who must conquer her kingdom for
her women who love the graoes and adorn
ments of life, and who move in an atmosphere
of refinement, while yet they have unflinching
courage and the power of self-renunoiation.
For, alter all, women can take only what men
confer, since men are in authority. And it
seems to us that when men and women meet
in friendly conference and say, "Come, now,
let ns reason together," they are not far from
finding very noble truth.
It is beoause Miss Field takes up her work
with quietness and courtesy, beoause she does
not denounoe, nor bully, nor demand, beoanse
she illustrates her belief that any woman, like
any man, appearing as a publio speaker, is
bound to give her hearers the highest result
of her culture, that her appearanoe on the
platform is earnestly to be welcomed. When
more women from our well-bred society are
ready to do zealously and opanly the work
whioh lies ready to their hand, whether it be
bonnet-making, or essay-writing, or lecture
reading, the malediction of Timon of Athens
will fall less witheringly "If there sit twelve
women at the table, let a dozen of them be
as they are."
CUBA AND THE "TRIBUNE."
From the X. Y, World.
Two things (to mention just now no more)
are desirable in the making of a great metro
politan political newspaper. One is that its
managers should be able to collect the news
of the day on subjects of interest to the pub
lic; the other is that, in interpreting and co
ordinating the news of the day to a political
end, they should be guided by some recog
nizable code of political principles.
We fanoy the Tribnne will hardly question
either of these propositions. But what shall
we say of the 'Jribune, these propositions be
ing admitted?
Hardly a week ago, the World oolleoted and
published, alone in the New York press, full
and aocurate reports of the preparations made
and making in this port to fit out expeditions
for intervening illegally in the struggle whioh
is now waging in Cuba. These reports were
of the highest practical interest, as well to our
own citizens and Gorernment as to the reBt of
the world. It is understood, we believe, that
the United States still have a government of
some kind; aud that tbe nature and the admin
istration of our laws, local and general, na
tional and international, are topics worth en
lightening the country upon. What the World
had tbe enterprise and the ability to secure in
the way of home news about these topics as
affeoted by the insurrection in Cuba, the Tri
bune, lacking the enterprise and the ability to
secure, contented itself with deorying as a "sen
sational" invention and imposture. This was
not civil, neither was it intelligent. For, lo !
ere a week has ended the Tribune finds itself
compelled to recognize the acouraoy of the ac
counts given by the World. Instead of
handsomely acknowledging its own defeat
and our triumph, the Tribune, we regret to
say, makes wry faces and drivels about us as
' 'Duke's spies" beings whose malignant
souls, breathing hate to all who strike for
freedom with a capital F, delight to prepare
dark death by the garrote and cruel chains on
Ceuta's rock-bound shore for the "hundreds
of our boys who have left mothers and sisters
behind them" to aid in liberating Cuba. Bat
for the World, the Tribune never would have
known that "hundreds of our boys" had left
mothers and sisters behind them for any
such uurnose. But for the World, in all
human probability the first news which either
the Tribune or th- United Slates Government
would have had of these expeditions, in regard
to which we have now made it possible for
the Government to act understanding,
would have come to us from the sinking of
the ships and the capture of tblr crews by
the S Danish iron-olads off the Cuban coast.
Let this, however, pass. The Tribune's twad
dle about the World is only worth noting as
an adequate, though an angry, oonfeasion of
its own incapacity to secure and collect the
really important news of tbe day.
Quite another and a larger interest atUoheB
to the Tribune's comments uon the Cuban
question and the relations to that question of
the American Government and people. Sub
stantially, the I'ribune also adopts the atro
cious creed just beginning to be avowed by
Wendell Phillips and other fanatics of his
class, that whatever any people is strong
enough to do that it has a right to do. To
this complexion has the higher-law dootrine
come at last. J he party wnicn paiavereu. n
way into power by playing on the people's
Jaitb in God, and Justice, aud Equality; by
snullling the Golden Rule on tbe floors of
Congress while it set homesteads ou fire in
tbe mountains of Virginia; and chanting
hymns to the Prinoe of Peace while it pre
pared the avatar of new Attilaa and
AlaricP, now, having attained power, turns
Shamelessly around upon mankind and de
clares that it recognizes no law but its own
passions, no principle save its own interests.
This is, in truth, but the logical outcome of
Its original pretension. The "higher law"
in tbe last resort means, aud oan only mean,
tbe personal belief, desire, or purpose of
pome one man or of Eome ore set of men.
Wh le those who hold this la which they
make for themselves to be more sacred than
any law made for them are in a minority,
thev are martyrs. When they get into a
majority they are tyrants. The 7 ribune and

ing with the Cuban question, they are play
ing as yet neither tbe tyrant nor the
martyr, but merely the hypocrite. Under the
pretense of a profound "sympathy" with
those who in Cuba are Imttatiog our own de

their worst to fan In the popular heart of this
,,nirw the lowest and the most dangerous
of popular-passions, the lust of territory,

teruational rights, recklessness of human life,
and the degrading thirst of illicit gain. They
ohnckle when the charlatan Banks, one of
their chosen "moral" guides and leaders, la
baptized by Grant as the "great filibuster."
They are ready to brand the viotory of the
Union before all the world ai an Immoral
triumph of brute foroe, fit how to be ned by
and made subservient to the vulgar and sordid
ambitions of empire. The politioal teachings
of such a party and of its leading organs are
a direot provocation to crime in its petty and
personal as well as in its larger and national
forms. They tend direotly to that condition
of moral anarchy which a great ethical writer
has denounced by telling ns that "it is better
to live where nothing is lawful than where all
things are lawful."
The spirit whioh thinks swindling a matter
of no consequence if its result be the building
of a railway three thousand miles long, and
buccaneering a bagatelle if it leads to our get
ting possession of Cuha without paying for it,
may wear the garb of George Fox and spak
with the ppeeoh of Bunyan, but it is tbe spirit,
for all that, of Robert Maoaire ou the highway
and of Timour in the Cabinet.

Gents: On the night of the 22d ultimo, our store,
No. 20 (South street, was entered, and a desperate at
tempt made by burglars upon cue of your safes iu our
counting-room.
The key to the safe n which we kept our securities
was locked lnsldo of our fire-proof book safe, the
doors of which were literally cut to pieces; from this
they obtained the key to the other safe and opened
It. Fortunately we had ono of your Burglar-Proof
Banker's Chests inside, In which our valuables were
deposited. This they went to woik at with a will,
and evidently used up all their time and tools In vain
attempts to force it. The night was dark and stormy,
and the fact of their knowing where our key was
kept shows that their plans were well matured. They
tried wedging the door and body of the Chest, and
the faithful safe bears evidence of the labor and skill
devoted to the work. All was useless, and It Is with
great satisfaction we report that upon opening it we
found our securities oil nafe, aud can therefore cheer
fully indorse the Burglar-Proof work recommended
by you.
You will please send the new safe purchased by us
to our counting-house, and take the old one, to show
that some safes are still manufactured woithy of the
