IkWorb Inquirer. BEDFORD, M, FBIDtI, FEB. 14, 188. GRANT. The evident aversion of General. Graut to indicate his political proclivities has long been a source of annoyance to many good republicans. Though they left tbat his view*, judged oi from hi- limitary record, could not be other than legal, his connection with the war office under the onlers of the President raised apprehension* that were painful to every true and loyal man in the nation. Every net or word of Grunt's that, under these eircuuistiHiees. could even be construed as equivocal, vc hailed by the copperhead enemies of the country with joy and heralded abroad through all their journals assure signs that the General in chief of our armies wa*li mpathy with the conservative, or in other term-:, dis loyal element. The sphynx like attitude of General Grant been doubthas his friends have always claimed, iv-,>n-*. of his reluctance to get into the political stent: Whatever his reasons for this singular reti cence, the President has compelled, him in self-defence, to define his position in regard to obedience to the law - of Congress. When it beealuc necessary to cbo --c between j obedience to the President and >h dienoc to tho law, the great conquerordid not hesitate for a moment but promptly declared in favor of and obeyed the law without regard to Presidential wishes or orders This has already brought down upon him the vituper ation and abuse of all rebeldoro including copperheadisni. But Gen. Grant can bear it all and rejoice in it, for there i no surer evidence of a tnau's thorough loyalty than that he is soundly abased by the President and his copperhead parasites. Though Grant seldom speaks be ha- eettaiuly spoken most opportunely this time. There is no act of a great soldier that so elevates him in the eyes of all men as implicit obedience to the existing civil laws whenever his active duties as a soldier in the field have ceased. There is no greater trial of a utau s actual merit than the sudden transfer from the al most absolute power of a military comman der in chief, where be is a iaw to himself, to the sphere of civil life where he is requir ed himself to render the implicit obedience he has beiore been accustomed to require of others. Such acts gave to a Cincionatus and a Washington tlie greater portion of their honor and gloiy. It was tbe conquest of self, the greatest of all victories. Grant's nomination by the republican party, before well nigh assured, is now as nearly a fixed fact as anything not yet done can be. No man in the nation has so strong a hold upon the hearts of the people, ami now that his latest deeds have satisfied the most exacting of the leaders of the party, thus assuring unanimity in his nomination, there will be really no obstacle to bis election. The hosts of treason he has completely routed before; this time he will utterly* annihilate tlieiu as a party organization. With Grant as our leader in the coming campaign we look for ward only to the most overwhelming and triumphant victory. RETRENCHMENT. The Republican administration in Penn sylvania has been characterized by large re dactions of our State debt. the total aboli tion of taxes on real estate and numberless other improvements in our financial condi tion. All this has been done during, and immediately after one of the most terrible and expensive wart recorded in the annals of history. But it is not alone in the fioan cos of our state that this spirit of economy has been made to tell. The national finan ces have also been niauaged witb the same skill. True, while the war lasted and the imtidn was imperilled treasure was not spared, for it was economy then to do % 11 and promptly whatever had to be done a_ all. But the moment the war ceased, the work of retrenchment began, armies were disbanded, useless supplies disposed of and our, wbolc armament, as rapidly as possible, was reduced to the lowest margin consistent with the public safety. Tbe last Congress was thus enabled to reduce tbe public taxes the enormous amount of $120,000,000. The present session of Congress has already seduced the estimates for the Navy Depart*! ment $20,000,000. It is estimated that the stoppage of contraction has saved the coun try $52,000,000, which we would have had to pay in interest -on bonds which McCul lock would have issued to redeem the cur rency in pursuance of his contraction policy. Here is already an annual reduction of about $200,000,000, though the work of the present session has scarcely begun there is nothing surer than ttiat the Internal reve nue taxes will be largely reduced before Con gress adjourns. Such acts of economy and retrenchment speak for themselves and place the record of the Republican party on the question of retrenchment iu the fullest ac cord with its professions. Copperheads may prefer groundless charges of corruption aud extravagance against us but our record is our most triumphant vindication. THE IMPEACHMENT QUESTION is again being agitated in Congress. The disclosures madejn the Grant-Johnson correspondence show conclusively a deliberate design on the part of Johnson to defy the laws. It would seem front present indications that we owe it alone to Grant's firmness and determina tion to obey the law, that we are not at this moment engaged in an actual war, with Johnson in Control of the military power, misting congress and the laws of the land and proclaiming himself Dictator. It seems that but for Grant we might at this moment be again involved in all the horrors of an other civil war. If Congress once more brings up the Impeachment question it is to be hoped, tbe matter will not be permitted to rest until so dangerous and reckless a character as Johnson shall be regularly and fairly tried and removed from the position he has so shamefully abused and dishonored. While be fills the Executive chair the na tion cannot Lave peace. He seems to de light in strife and turmoil and exerts all his ingenuity to prevent that condition of peace and tranquility which tbe country so much needs THE CURRENCY QUESTION. Congress has at last settled the contrac tion question by passing through both Houses the bill to suspend all further con traction of the currency. We showed con clusively some time ago, that, notwithstand ing the contraction cry, there was not actu ally as much currency or circulating medi um of any kind available for the transacting of the business of the country, in proportion to the extent of that business and the in creased prices as there had been before any greenbacks were issued. Wo also showed that McCulloch's insane and almost suicidal efforts at contraction had had no visible ef fect upon the price of specie or of the neces saries oflife, aud that the remedy for high prices was not to be found in tbat direction. Business prospects are already brightening under the feeling of confidence inspired by this timely action of Congress. Time and the laws of supply and demand will of themselves correct the high prices and the gold premium. May the time be far distant when wo shall lose our present convenient and every way desirable national and Green back currency. We want a better and more equal diatnbution of National Banks than at present exists, but nothing more disas trous to the of the country could befall us than the abolition of our na tional currency. Let MeCuiloch now give his attention to the payment of the national debt instead of increasing it by borrowing money to withdraw our currency and fund it in interest bearing bonds. W. B. REEIJ, a Philadelphia copperhead, bas just published another pamphlet, launched at the great historian, Bancroft, in defence of his grandfather's revolutiona ry record. Imagine what a deluge of pamphlets will be likely to flood the coun try when the grandsons of our copperhead cotemporaries, take up the gauntlet to de fend the record s of their grandfathers, during the past rebellion, against the impartial hi..- tory of some future Bancroft! Thev will doubtless find quite as hard labor as Mr. Reed and mueh less sympathy. They will have more than faint heartednesa to defend against, and infinitely less ground of de fence. They will then doubtless learn the meaning of the word loyal, which copper heads of the present day seem utterly unable to comprehend. GEN. GRANT and THE PRESIDENT. The latest event of public interest has been the publication of the correspondence between the President and Gen. Graut in relation to the restoration of Secretary Stan ton, and the promises alleged to have been made by Grant that he would either resign his position xs Secretary of War ad interim, or compel Mr. Stanton to obtain possession of the office by legal process, should the Senate resolve to restore him. Tbe correspondence on this point, as sub mitted to Congress by the Secretary of War, enbraces two letters from Gen. Grant and one from the President. The correspondence opens with a letter from General Grant to the President under date of January 25th, in which he requests the President to give him, in writing, the in struction be had previously given him verbally, not to obey anv order from the Hon. E. M. Stanton, Secretary of War, unless he (Graut) knew it came from the President. He states that he is induced to make this request in consequence of the many gross misrepresentations that have circulated through the press purporting to come from the President in relation to conversations held with him in his office or at Cabinet meetings, and remarks that what is written admits of no misunderstanding. In view of the misrepresentations referred to, lie states that some time after he assumed the duties of Secretary of war ad interim, the President asked his views of the course Mr. Stanton would have to pursue to obtain possession of his office, in case the Senate should Dot concur in his su-pension. He expressed the opinion that he would have to appeal to the Courts to re instate hiui, but remarked that he haii not particularly looked into the Tenure of-Office bi'l. Sub sequently on reading the bill closely he found that he could not refuse to vacate the office of Secretary of War, if Mr. Stanton was re-instated by the Senate, without vio lating the law, even though the President should order him to retain it, which, says Gen Grant, "he never did." After having come to this decision he in formed the President of the fact, and a long altercation ensued, in which Johnson insis ted on his retaining possession of the office, under the plea that he had the right to make the appointment under the authority of the constitution, and that consequently the person appointed could not be governed by an act of Congress. This reasoning did t not satisfy Gen. Grant, who replied that the law was binding on him whether consti tutional or not, until set aside by the proper tribunal. This conversation was on Sattir day the 11th ult., and the Senate then had the re-instatement of Stanton under consid eration. At its conclusion the President remarked to Grant that he would see him again. He says positively that be did not agree to call on the President ou Monday. On Tuesday, the day Mr. Stantqn re-enter ed tbe office of Secretary of War, Grant officially informed the President of that fact. Mr. Johnson sent back a message by the bearer stating that he wanted to see Grant at a Cabinet meeting that day. At this meeting the President gave a version of the understanding alluded to, iq which he sta ted that Gen. Grant had agreed to hold on to the office until displaced by the Courts, or resign in time to allow the President to appoint some one else who would do so. Gen. Grant saji he in no way admitted the correctness of the President's statement, though to soften the asperity of the contra diction he admitted the President might have understood that he meant to resist the i re restatement, but he further remarks, J , made no such promise. The President replies under date of Jan uary 31st., and says in relation to his first interview with General Grant on the sub ject of Mr. Stanton's re instatement that thev parted with the distinct understanding ! that if Grant should come to the conclusion that he would prefer not to be a part to the controversy that would grow out of resist anee to Mr. Stanton's re-instatement, he [ was to notify Mr. Johnson, so as to give i him ample time to make another appoint ment pi ior to the decision of the Senate. Other conversations were had between those parties on this subject, and on Saturday the i Hth ult., tbe President says that General , Grant repeated his promise and they parted with the distinct understanding that there should be a further conference on Monday. He says that this engagement was not fulfil led, and that he heard Dothing from Grant until Tuesday, when ho received official in formation from him that in consequence of the operations of thoTenure-of-office bill his functions as Secretary of War ad interim, had cexsed. Mr. Johnson, in his account i of what transpired at the Cabinet meeting i ®2„ e flatly contradicts the statements of Gen. Grant, declaring that he (Grant) admitted that he had agreed to resign, in esse bo concluded not to resist Stanton's re-! instalment, and tbat he also admitted that he had agreed to meet him, for the purpose of taking decisive action, on Monday the 13th inst. He also says that Gen. Grant called upon him on Wednesday morning the 15th inst* in company with Gen. Sherman, and re marked while there, that an article publish ed in the National Intelligencer of that date, purporting to be a report of the conversa tion the day l>efore did him great injustice. After Gen. Grant had withdrawn, Johnson says he read the article in the Inteßigeneer, and found it substantially correct. He af terwards caused the article to he re id to four of the five members of the Cabinet, who were present and tboy concurred in the ac curacy of its statements. General Grant replies to the President tinder date of February 3rd, reiterating his former statements and concluding as follows: From our conversation and my written pro test of August 1, 18*57, aguinst the removal of Mr. Stanton, you roust have known that my greatest objection to his removal wag the fear that some one would be appointed in his stead who would, by opposition to the laws relating to the restoration of the Southern States to their proper relation to the Governme.i, em barrass the army in the performance of the duties especially imposed upon it by the laws, and that it was to prevent such an appoint meat that I accepted the appointment of Sec i retary t War ad interim , and not for the purpose of enabling you to get rid of Mr. Stanton by my withholding it from him in opposition to the law, or, not doing so myself, surrender to one who, as the statement and assumptions in your communication plainly indicate, was sought; and it was to avoid this doubt, as well as to relieve you frcm the per sonul embarrassment in which Mr. Stanton s reinstatement would place you that I urged the appointment of Gov. Cox, believing that it would be agreeable to you and also to Mr. Stan ton, satisfied as 1 was that ft was the good of the country, and not the office, the latter desired On the 13rh ultimo, in the presence of Gen. Sherman, I stated to you that I thought Mr. Stanton wou'd resign, but did not say I would advise him to do so. On the 18th I did agree with Gen. Sherman to go and advise him to that course, and on the 19th 1 had an inter view ulone with Mr. Stanton, which led me to the conclusion that any advice to him of this kind would be useless, and so informed Gen. Sherman. Before I consented to advise Mr. Stanton to resign, I understood from him, in a conversation on the subject, immediately after his reinstatement, tbat it was his opitt ion that the act of Congress entitled ''An Act temporarily to supply vacancies in the Execu tive Department in certain cases,'' approved February 20, 1863, was repealed by subse quent legislation, which materially influenced his action. Previous to this time 1 had no doubt that the law of 1868 was still in force, and notwithstanding my action, a fuller ex amination of the law leaves a question in my mind whether it is or is not repealed. This being the case, f could not now advise his resignation, lest the same danger I appre bended frotn his first removal might follow. The course you have understood 1 agreed to pursue was in violation of law, and that with out orders from you. while the course I will pursue, and which I never doubted you fully understood, was in accordance with law and not in disobedience to any orders of my su perior. And now, Mr. President, where my honor as a soldier and integrity as a man have been so violently assailed, pardon me for say ing that T can but regard this whole matter frotn beginning to end .',s an attempt to in volve roe in tbe resistance of law, for which you hesitated to assume the responsibility, in order thus to destroy my character before the country. I aui, in a measure, confirmed in this conclusion by your recent orders direct ing me to disobey orders from tbe Secretary of War, my superior, and subordinate, without having countermanded his authority, lam to disobey. With assurance, Mr. Pres ident, that nothing less than a vindication of my personal honor and character could have induced this correspondence on my part, 1 have'kw hou-.r lo be. a*y your obedient servant, U. S. GRANT, General. THE PREIiIDE.IT AND GENERAL GRANT. We print elsewhere, says the New Fork Post, tlie correspondence between the Presi dent and General Grant, of which some parts appeared in our later editions yester day The President does nut make a very ex alted figure in these letters. Supposing, even, that his own version of the occur rences were correct —though no one who reads his letters can help seeing that Mr. Johnson's ill-temper unfits him to give a perfectly fair and accurate account of con versation—hut supposing him to be correct, even then it onlyappcarsthat he endeavored to use Gen. Grant, with utter disregard to disagreeable conequences to Grant, for the prosecution of Mi .Johnson's quarrel with Stanton. Grant was to be his cat's-paw; but Grant refused, and so the President frets, and gos sips with the hangers-on of the White House lobbies, making of himself a not very edifying spectaele.for the men who be live that the President of the United States ought to be something higher than a scold, and something more than a mete intriguer. Mr. Johnson wnntcd Grant, it, seems, to lock the War Office door against Stanton. Why, then did lie not order Grant to do so? Mr. Johnson knew very well that passage in the tenure of office act which punishes with fine and imprisonment any one who resists its enforcement. Had he ordered Grant to keep the War Office doors shut, Mr. Johnson would have violated the law and subjected himself to its penalties. Therefore, with what will seem to every honorable man not a very creditable cunning, he did not order Grant to do so, but tried to entrap him into a promise to do so on his (Grant's) own account. But why should Grant violate a law—a law which may be foolish and wrong, as we believe it to be. hut which yet was regularly passed, and had been moreover explicit,v re cognized by the President? Because Grant thus refused to become the President's tool and victim, Mr. Johnson scolds him as if he were a criminal. Grant appears to us to have acted through out with his accustomed coolness and saga city. It is seen that he and General Sher man tried to have matters so arranged as to avoid a deadlock; they are practical men and statesmen, who know that it is best, in public affairs, to get along smootblv, even at some sacrifije of persona! will. But Mr. Johnson sat still, like a sulky boy, and re jected all advice. It would appear as if he meant to bring on a deadlock. Now, it is a high conception of statesmanship to bring matters to such a pass that something must break; and we regret to say that certain members of Congtcss, and the President, in their long and useless quarrel with each other, have illustrated no other. A SPECIAL cable despatch by the Atlantic telegraph asserts that Napoleon has sud denly modified his position on the Roman Question, and indicates a disposition to aban oh his championship of the Pope. It is also said that he has required the Queen of Spain to abandon her intention of recruiting a Papal Legion for the Pope.

Dis loyalty and love for the lost cause rs so deeply rooted in the hearts of these people toat it is all folly to talk about a loyal senti ment except among a few -Northern etui grants and the colored people. IT IS a noticeable lact that the late great speech of Hon. Glenni W. Soofield, Repre sentative in Congress from the Lne district, (and which was adopted as a campaign document by the Republican National Com mittee) is more generally published in the Pennsylvania Republican newspapers than Hny speech made in Congress by any of our Representatives. Facts like these, which indicate public endorsement of the well doing of public men, are worthy of record, as well to show a sound state of popular feeling, as to reward a true statesmau for the performance of a great duty.

COMMODORE VANDXRBILT has withdrawn from the Grant movement in New York, os tensihly on the ground that Grant did not treat the Bresident fairly in the Stanton imbroglio, but really because his own name has recently been mentioned in connection with a Demo cratic nomination for the Presidency.—How unselfish some people are! ANOTHER very determined and well-organi zed movement is being made by the Demo cratic politicians to get Mr. Johnson to reor ganize his Cabinet, and to especially get rid of Secretary McCulloch, but the indications are, thai, like similar efforts heretofore at tempted, it will fail, for luck of Mr. Johnson's ability to Hgree with his so called iriends as to who their EUt-cessors shall be. THERE was a rumor that Secretary McCul loch had tendered his re?ignalion. He said to a friend to night that if such was the ease he was not aware ol it. There is a direct issue between the President and Secretary McCulloch as regards the statement made a lew days since about the removal of certain officers. REV.

Ex CHIEF JtsTicK WOODWARD of this State, now a Representative in Congress, made a speech the other day in that body- in which he took decided grounds against Mr. Pendleton's financial theories. The ex chief justice goes bact to the old doctrir.o of this same Pendle ton and the Democratic party and insists that the issue of greenbacks was unconstitutional, and if the act was defensible at all it was only so on the ground of a war necessity, which no longer exists. THE pioposed amendments to the State constitution—regulating suffrage and the pay of members—offered in the House, last week by Mr. Hickman, were made the special order for consideration on Wednesday last. A long and interesting discussion took place, which was participated in by several able members, lorand against the measure. An adjournment took place before a vote was taken. Mr. Hickman made a forcible speech in support of his proposition—the right of universal suffrage to all who can read the Constitution. We learn from a paragraph in the Mont gomery (Ala.) Advertiser that Mr. Robert Tyler, (son of ex President TYLER), formerly of Philadelphia, but for some years past a citizen of Alabama, bus recently become editorially a-s ciated with the Montgomery Mail. Mr. TYLER was for many years con spicuous and influential in the Democratic party of Pennsylvania, and has had a large experience both as a speaker and writer on political themes. A CHEMICAL fire engine has just been tested in Boston with satisfactory results. Instead of water, it throws a jet of carbonic acid gas, with two inch cylinders, and a tank capacity of one barrel. A pile of fifty tar barrels spread over with shavings was set on fire and allowed to burn four minutes, and the fire was ex tinguished in one minute by the engine, play ing through sixty feet of hose, and using only ten gallons of water. It will be seen there fore, that this fire extinguisher is remarkably effective, much more effective comparatively i speaking, than engines that throw water. The Franklin county people are sending in petitions occasionally, asking for appropria tion for damages done by rebel raiders during the years*lß#2 3 and '64, but it is exceedingly doubtful if any bill will be passed for their re lief.

WE find the following in the Cincinnati Times: New York, January 27.—"Private letters received front Chicago state that Mrs. Lincoln is insane beyond all doubt.

FOR the statement that Charles Francis Adams has rssigned his post as Ministerof the United States to Great Britain, there is as yet no official authority. But it is learned, from sources so trustworthy that they have never been contradicted, that the resignation of our Minister to Great Britain was received e-.m* days ago, and that the intention of the United States Government to prosecute the Alabama claims immediately and decidedly is the chief reason why Mr. Adams, whose firm but nevertheless delusive intercourse with the British Geverniuent might have to be changed in away to affect his personal bouor, has seen fit to resign.
