mgricait 44Jelltattere CARLISLE, PA m TbnitdHi Sfornlnr. April 8, IMt. REPEAL OF Tli£ CIVIL TEXUIIK aiLU Dictator Grant has signed the bill re pealing, (or, rather, modifying) theCiv II Tenure Bill. The guilloTine is now to be put in active operation, and every man Who is nota nigger,ora nigger lov er, ora relative of tbo Grant tribe, is to be beheaded at once. For nearly a month Congress has been occupied in an effort to repeal this infamous and unconstitutional act.— Those who had voted fbr it—the Repub lican members —found it hard to “go back” on their bantling, and of course some of them squirmed like skinned eels when the Democratic mem bers held up to their gazo the speeches they had made in its defense previous to its passage. But Grant de manded its repeal; ho said it was im possible for the President to administer the Government to his own satisfaction or the satisfaction of his party so long as the act was in force. The Republican members of Congress, therefore—shame less demagogues that they are—finally voted for the repeal of this measure which stood between the Radical party and plunder. The speeches delivered by a number of the Radical Senators and members of the House were very funny, when we consider that most of these very fellows had voted for, the measure. One Senator spoke of the Civil Tenure Bill as “Unconstitution al;” another said ho considered it “a foolish act from the first;” another anathematized itas “Infamous,” Ac.— Nice confessions these to be made b\ men. who'had voted for the bill, and advocated it in set speeches. If the act was unconstitutional—and they now admit it was—then they purjured them selves when they voted for It. This is their confession now I The Civil Tenure Bill then has been repealed, or modified in a way that gives Grant full sway. It is well. Of all the acts of the last infamou* Rump Congress, this was the meanest, the most villainous. It was intended to annoy and hamper President Johnson, and to force him to retain scoundrels in office against his judgment. It was for the benefit of Radical thieves that.this bill of abominations was passed, and we have no doubt the Government lost millions of dollars, owing to the fact that Mr. Johnson could not remove the leeches from office who were sucking the life-blood of the nation. Now that the Radicals are in power in all the de partments, with a weak and willing tool for President, they have no more use for the Civil 'lenure act. They de -ire full swing at the people’s treasury, and are whetting their teeth for the feast before them. There never was a party so shameless, remorseless and greedy as this black-and-tan Radical party. It will stoop to anything, even to perjury, to accomplish Us political ends. Without plunder U would die in a month, for on plunder it has lived from iU birth. Already Grant hasappojnted <ome of the most notorious traitors and plunderers in the country to office, and if the national debt does not goon in creasing, it will not be his fault. The country reels under the load of infamy placed upon its shoulders, and drunk ards and libertines till the places for merly held by statesmen and gentle men. “ God savbtheCommcpweaith.” GKS LOXtiNI'RUET, "The bloody-handed traitor,” as the Radicals fomierly called him, was con firmed by the U. 8. Senate on Saturday la«t as. Surveyor of the Port of New Or leans. Next to Lee Longstreet was the most prominent of the Rebel Generals, and was noted for his savage acts. Af ter one of the battles of the Wilderness, when he was compelled to retreat, he • ordered the woods to be fired ; in those woods some fifteen hundred wounded soldiers nf the Union army were welter ing in their blood. They were burned alive. Their hones were gathered up after a heavy rain had drowned out the fire. So said the Radical papers at the time. But Gen. Longstreet has taken the iron-clad oath ; he has joined the Radi cal party ; more than this, he is related to Mrs. Grant. Hence he gets an office worth $25,000 a year. ” Let us have peace.” Bergner has been con firmed aa Postmaster of Harrisburg.— Gon. Knipe, one of the heroes of the war, and who was wounded three times —a poor man,exceilentofflcer, and pop ular with the citizens —is-removed, and Bergner, the rich stay-at-home contrac tor, takes his place. This.ls a heartless and villainous act, and stamps Grant and his pie-bald party ns dissemblers .and falsifiers. "Those who fought for the Union must be cared for, JJ was a favorite expression with Ridical liars last fall when men were appealed to in behalfof the wooden map,Grant. Now, however, the very fellowA who bellowed so lustily for the " heroes of the war,” turn these heroes out of office to make place for ex-contractors and professional politician?. To Mr, BergnerpcrsonalJy, we have no objection ; he is, we believe, an upright citizen, and will make a good officer; but to turn Gen. Knipe out of the Post office is an outrage upon patriotism and decency. During a debate in the Rump House, a few days since, Beast Butler assailed the brave old hero General Gil lem, a man who was engaged in as many battles during the rebellion as any man in the army. General Giliem was a “ Copperhead, 1 ’ said the great spoon thief. General G. was in com mand recently, in Mississippi, and be cause he did not persecute, brow-beat and insult white men, and give ear to every impudent negro, he is a “Copper head,” in Beast Butler’s opinion. Well, better be a “ Copperhead” than a cow ardly thief. »3fThe particulars of the late dread-, ful tragedy in Philadelphia, will be found on our first page.

Two Democrats and two Radicals ate elected to Congress. a xkw iudhal mvi.mdli; The following article (editorial,) ap peared in Forney’s Press a few weeks since: “ An appeal to the Benevolent. —A dngularcharity appeals at present Ip the heart of Philadelphia. A gentleman, <j|fe 11 recommended by Rev. Albert Barnes ami other distinguished and Judicious clergy men, asks' contributions in aid of a •‘home,” established in Florida for the orphans made fatherless during Um- past years by the Ku Klux and other desper ate gangs which have overrun the South ern Suites. iHesays: In East Florida near old Fort King, a colony of these children are now being gathered. Temporary homes have been ibtained for over five hundred, while two hundred and forty-nine, including six ieen infants, sixty-three whites, one hun dred and eighty-six colored, are now be ing cured for at the above places. They are in large log buildings, lodging on hay , and straw, being kept alive by the mea gre pittance of sweet potatoes, milk and wld fruits! and a matron have been obtained for them, but they suffer very n uch for of food, as the corn has been all consumed that was pro vided for them in the fall.

Fhilip Brooks and his people, Rev. Mr. Allen and his members, and the Sabbath School alsocontrlbuted. We are sure the statement of this case will carry its own appeal. Persons wishing further testimonials as to the character or responsibility of the parties asking aid, can see them at the rooms above mentioned. For prudential reasons it is not deemed judicious to pub lish the.name of the gentleman in charge of the work.” When wo read the above in Forney’s Press, we made up our mind that the story as related, was a He from the whole cloth, for its every statement had the appearance of an exaggeration and an impossibility. We now have the proof, positive and undeniable, that our surmise wafr correct. A friend In Flor ida assists us in exposing this bnseswin die, by sending us copies of South ern papers refering to it. From these Southern papers we copy as follows : The above from the Philadelphia Press is quite an item of news. We cannot be lieve the statement made by the “ well recommended gentleman,” and are in clined to think.that he is either a religious or political swindler. Won’t mir East Florida Exchanges en lighten the community at large?— Sav. Advertiser. We have madediligent Inquiry concern ing the above, and find no one to corrob nrale it, but many who say that the “well recommended gentleman” isassuggesled, either a “religious or political swindler.” Fort King is three miles from Ocala, at which place the East Florida Banner Is published. What says the Banner? Jacksonville Floridian it* Mercury. If “the Rev. Mr. Newton of the Church of Epiphany,” or the Revs. Mr. BrooKS and Mr. .Aldea are paid by their people such a salary as to enable them to give dollars away by the hundred, to every swindler w>ho comes to them with a tale that bears upon its face the evidence of its fraud, we have nothing to say, further that we pity the people who have such soft addle-headed par>ons to teach them the way to heaven. We pro nounce the whole thing a swindle, and the parties engaged in it, religious twindlers ; and those who have given away money in aid of “ A Home,” for the victims of the Ku Klux, are poor, miser able dupes, with more money than brains, and deserve to lose every dollar sq given. “ For prudential reasons it is not deemed judicious to publish the names oi the gen tleman in charge of the work !” No doubt ibis is a very good rea-otj for not publish ing names, and the gentleumn “ well rec ommended by Mr. Alfred Barnes” best knows the reason. We would undertake to say, however, that both the gentle man’s name and phisiogomy may be seen by a visit to the “ rogues* gallery,” at 6th and Chestnut streets, Philadelphia, and thereby the Frets will be saved fur ther necessity of publishing this swindle either for its own benefit or that of the ” well recommended gentleman.” “Birds of a leather flock together,” and “ we are known by those with whom we associate.'' Arc you aware of that, Mes srs Barnes, Brooks and Allen? Suffice If. to say, the whole story published hy Fornev’s Frees, is an unmitigated false ’hood.’ I —Ocala Banner, (Radical pa; er ) Now', the question recurs, into whose pockets did the money go, that was con tributed to these bogus “ orphans made fatherless by the Ku Klux ?” Were the “loll” clergymen whose names figure in Forney’s article the originators of this most infamous swindle, or was it the inventive genius of some “loll” politician that brought it into successful working order? Answer, Forney! Tills swindle, by which hundreds and per haps thousands of dollars were collected from soft dupes, has now been exposed, and justice demands that the swindlers be exposed also. Who is the man whose name ” ft?r prudential reasons is sup pressed?” M'i. F.onieyowcs it to himself to expose the vf I Jain. And if the Rev erend gentlemen whose names are iiggd in the Press article desire to be cunsid ered blameless, they will ferret out this fraud gud expose the guilty wretch who perpetrated U. Silence will not answer ; should theseclergymeu roluseor neglect to explain this transaction, those who have been swindled will have a right 19 regard them with suspicion at least.— Lot them look to this, for their charac ters as ministers and men are at stake. This article from. Forney’s Press of which >ve are speaking, goes to show with how much pprsistency the Radicals continue to misrepresent and slander the people of the South. All these sto ries about the Ku Klux Klaus, which are manufactured in Washington, Phil adelphia and New York for the edifica tion of Radical gudgeons, are pure in ventions, and their object is two-fold, One«obJect Is political, th« other money making. Radical politicians, os a gen eral thing, are political gamblers, and when they fail to "raise the wind” in one way, they resort to another, but al ways at the expense of decency and the people. God never made a more rav enous set of bipeds than professiolal Radical politicians. Theyglory.in their shame, revel Ju stolen money, sneer at the laws and the Constitution, lie, plun der and debauch, all in the name of “loilty." i #Sy Brooks andOrme, under sentence of death, for the murder of Theodore Broadhead, at the Delaware Water Gap, escaped from the Monroe Countyjail, on Friday night.

In our last we announced, briefly, that that measure of,infamy, the Negro Suffrage Amendment to the Constitu tion of the United States had been rati fied by our corrupt and shameless IjCg-' Mature. The vote in the House stood, yeas 61, all Radicals, to nays 38, all Democrats. In vain did the Democrats of the Senate and the I louse endeavor to s ‘i-iiro a r-oim.ifc-duu of this question to the people. The Radicals know the hateful thing would he indignantly re pudiated and overwhelmingly defeated at the ballot box; so a Legislature which was elected without any reference to the subject, and without the right so to change the fundamental law of the State, voted to fasten Negro Equality upon Pennsylvania. For this outrageous act the Radical party must answer to the people. The question wiil remain open during the coming Gubernatorial campaign, and the people of Pennsylvania will have a chance to elect a Legislature pledged to repeal the ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment which has been fraudu lently obtained.. That this will be done is Just as certain as fate.. Press keeps its readers well posted concerning the distinguished nigger. A late number contains these items: “ A Colored President. —Lieut. Gov.

The Doctor Pays he is 35 years of age. married in 1860, built the house in which he now lives after bis marriage, owned a well-stocked farm of about thirty acres, and wasln the enjoyment of a pretty ex tensive practice up to the time of his ar rest In 1805. Thd world went well and -••mmfhly with him previous to that un happy event. His homo was furaistied witii all the comforts of a country gen tleman's residence. He had his h rscs and hounds, and in the spurting season was foremost in every fox hunt and at every madly out-door sport. He had ro bust health, aud a vigorous, athletic frame in those days, but it is very differ ent with him now. > Above the middle height, with a red dish moustache and chin whiskers, a high lorebead and attenuated nose, his appearance indicates a man of calm and slow reflection, gen lie In manner, and of a very domestic turn. He says he was . .boru within a few miles of this house, and has Jived all his life In the country. . His whole desire now is to be allowed to spend the balance of his days quietly in the bosom of ids family. In hissunken lustreless eye, pal id lips, and cold, ashy complexion one cun read (he words, “ Dry Tortugas,” with a terrible significance In the prime of his years, looking pre maturely old and care-worn, there are few indeed who could gaze pu the wreck and ravage iu the face of this man before them without feeJiugasentlraentof sym pathy and commiseration, “i have come home,”’said the Doctor, sorrowful ly, “ to find nothing left me but my house and family.” “No m< ney, no provisions, no crops in the ground, and nodear way before me • win re vith to derive the means of sup port In my present enfeebled condition.’' There was no deception hero. In the scanty furniture of the house, and in the pale, sad countenance of the speaker, there was evidence enough of poor and altered fortune- It wak now evening and growing rapidly dark. A big fire blazed on the ample hearth, and Mrs. Mudd, uu intelligent and handsome lady, with one of her children, joined the Doctor and ourselves in the conversation over the events of that memorable April.aiorning after Die assassination “ Did you sdl Booth, Mrs. Mudd ?” we inquired, with a feeling of intense inter est to hear her reply. “Yes,” she replied. “I saw himself and Harold, after they entered this par id*. Booth stretched himself out on that sofa (iiere, and Harold stooped down to whisper something to him.” “ How did Booth look?” “ Very bad. He seemed as though he had bee:, drinking very hard. His eyes were red and swoleu, and his hair in dis order.” “ Did he appear to suffer much?” “ Not after he laid down on the sofa- In fact, it seemed us if hardly anything was wrong with him then.” 1 “ Wlmt kind of a fracture did Booth sustain?” we inquired, addressing the Doctor. “ Well,” said he, “after he was laid "down on that sofa, aud having told me his leg was fractured by his horse falling on him, during bis journey up from Richmond, X took a knife and spilt the leg of his boot down to the instep, slipp ed it off, and the sock with It. I then felt carefully with both hands down along bis leg, but at first could discover nothing like crepitation, till after a sec ond investigation, I found on the outside, near the ankle, something that felt like indurated flesh, and then, for the that time, I concluded it was a direct and clean fracture of the bone. I then iraprb vised, out of pasteboard, a sort of boot, that adhered close enough to the leg to keep M rigidly straight below the knee, without at ail interfering with the flex ure of the leg. A low cut shoe wa sub stituted lor the leather boot, and between five and six o’clock In the morning, Booth and his companion started off for a point op the river below’. ** How did Booth’s horse look after bis long rldo?” we Inquired. “The boy, after putting him in the stable,” the Doctor replied, “ reported that bis back underneath the forward part o/the saddle, was raw and bloody. This circum-tunce tallied with Booth's account that lie hud been riding all day previous from Richmond, and no suspi cion arose iu my mind for one instant that the man whose leg I was attending to was anything more than wbht he reoro sented himself. 1 ’ “You knew Boolb before, Doctor?” “Yea,” replied the Doctor. “I was first introduced to Booth in November, ISU4, at tlie church yonder, spoke a few words to him, and never saw him after wards until a little while before Christ mas. when I happened to be in Wash ington maklug a few purchases, and waiting fur some friends from Baltimore, who promised to meet me at the Penn sylvania House, and empq here to spend the lu>li lays. I was walking past the Hotel at the time, when a per son tapped mn on the shoulder, and, on turning round, f discovered it was the gentleman I was Introduced to at the church, about six weeks previously. He asked me aside for a moment, and said he desired an introduction »o John H. Kur ratt, witii whom he presumed I was ac quainted. Isaid that I was. Surratt aud I became almost necessarily acquainted from the fact of his living op the road I traveled so often on my way to Washing ton, and having the only tnverri bp the Wav tlpit I c*red to visit.

About a week ago she visited the condemned man in his cell for the last time.' She then had u conversation with the Rev. Mr. Bring hurst, in the course of which she mani fested the liveliest concern as to whether her husband had said anything to bis spiritual adviser which would implicate her in the murder. She inquired espe cially if Mr. Twitchel had made any statement about the crime. Mr. Bring hurst responded that he hud Then the wife Inquired If ho had made a confes sion, to which she again received an af firmative response. Mrs, Twitchel then inquired if her husband had made any statement concerning herself In connec tion with the murder, to which she like wise received an affirmative response.— “ Ye«,” said Mr. Bringhurst, “he has told me all about it." “ Then,” exclaim ed Mrs. Twitchel, “he Is a villain, the greatest villain on the face of the earth." She then directed her inquiries to the day of execution, asking if Twitchel in tended to make any statement on the scaffold. She was assured by Mr. Bring hurst that he intended to do so- This brought out the inquiry as to whether any newspaper reporters would bw pres ent, and when she was told that such wou’d be the case, 'she exclaimed.— “ That would he bud!" Since the day on which this conversa tion occurred, Mrs. Twitchel has not been near the cell of her husband, and this morning she left the city for parts unknown. OUR WASHINGTON LETTER. Tl>« Tennre of Offlre SqaabblN.Prnldeat Grant Mgnu (be Rill—What Confrvw hm So>e»Tlip “ lion” Mr. l)nnn~A C'raiT Mao for Vice Hrcftlclcnt—lndiana and Ncsrroea— Grant and the Radicals. Correspondence American Volunteer. Washington, April 3,1809. Bath Houses have finally agreed to a ‘ Shally-Shally” compromise on the tenure of office bill. While in one see. tion it professes to be a repeal of the for mer law—and thus satisfies the Radical repealers; In another section it enacts provisions even more stringent than the former law contained. It was ingenious ly framed to meet "the objections Presi dent Grant had, urged against the exis ting law, and yet leave the most odious provisions of the law In force. Poor Grant has been hedged in on ail sides.— If he vetoes the bill, he not only Invites the hostility of his party friends, but the original law remains in full force. If he approves it, his hands will be more effec tually tied than they are now. Which ever way lie jumps, ho will just bo got tlngout of the frying pan into fho fire.— It is generally believed thaj he will ap prove the bill, to “let us havo peace,-’ if for do other reason. Congress has been in Session for four mouths, and it would puzzle anybody to say what one thing they have done to benefit the country. They have done absolutely nothing to lessen the burdens of the people or inspire hope for the fu ture. Much of their time has bem. spent in worthless wrangle and altercation,— Some things they have done, hut not one is ofauy help to the people. They have passed a law which gltuidons the heart of rich bondholders and etook jobbers: but they were rich enough before, and all tills additional gain comesout of aorusb ed and suffering people. They have pass ed a copper tariff bill, but here, too, the pooreufihr, and, probably, not five hun dred persona, all told, are benefited, By these two laws not one man ip a thous and Ik the gainer, I have nbt forgotten the fifteenth amendment, to make the negro a voter everywhere. Bot this is not a finality ; and if it wore, would not do any real good to the negro, much less to the white rauu. We have now had parliamentary gov ernment adpiinlatered by Radicals for nearly four years. Is it not practically a failure? It teems that the country can expect little or nothing from this Con gress hut senaejess agitation and an in decent struggle forspoi’s. Perhaps if the people would seize every opportunity to express their disgust by their votes, pub lic meetings. &0., there might be some little improvement. But we n»ed new material altogether. The present Con gress is already as much of 5 failure as ejtherof itspredepesapra, and there will Ipe no satisfactory change until we get a fresh set of men- The colored Lieutenant-Governor of Louisiana was upon the floors of Con gress one day last week. Whilp in tb.e Senate quite a number of Senators went up and spoke tq him. Mr. Wilson went over to Senator Garret Davis and proposed to present him to the distin guished colored individual, but Mr. Da vis goodhumoredly declined, Mr. Dunn was attired in a plain suit of black, with kid gloves, the color of his skin. Since he has been In the city it is said that Gov. Dunn had roomed wRh one or the Louisiana Senators, w'luch h aa had the effect tp causa certain other parties who were stopping at the same house to leave, (senator Sumner took pain's to pay him particular attention to-day. After satis fying himself with tip? Senate, the Lieu tenant Governor, strolled over to the House of Representatives, and was there alsp received with open arms. Occupy ing a position in the nortweat corner of the hail with Senator Cameron, who came over from the Senate with him, Mr. J. R. Sypher acted as usher,and one by one marched the Republican mem bers up and introduced, them. The Lieu tenant Governor seemed to appreciate the situation, as be stood there his tail and commanding figure towering above all who were introduced to him. i-omp of the intense radicals were very obse quious, but others of the Republicans walked with apparent reluctance, and left as soon as they had shaken hands with their guest. Others seemed particu larly to attract 'attention to the vast amount of respect they were dispos ed to show him, The appointment of E. Ketchum, a Philadelphia negraw, to a clerkship In (ho Treasury Department, lies caused & i fat excitement among the Colored popu lation of the District of Columbia. As soon as they heard the report they throng ed the Treasury building in great num bers and all shades and sizes, many with little picannlnies in their arms, demand ed offices and bureaus. It will never do for your Radicals of Pennsylvania to j give the negroes the right to hold offioa, ! or ih**y will insist on more than their | fair share of the spoils of victory. It is I quite enough to let Sambo vote. | I notice, in one ofthe city papers, that j rather n laughable scene occurred in the I Senate chamber, lust waek. It seems i that a era ay man got ihto the Vice Presi- I dent's chair, and claimed to be Schuyler Colfax : I twos before the session had com menced, and the door was tilled with visiters; all at once the strangers were startled by the sharp rap of the Speak er’s gavel, and on looking, a rather pre possessing gentleman was found in the net of taking the chair. Believing that something new had occurred, and that the Senate was going to commence its session earlier than usual, many of the uninitiated made for the doors, and the gentleman accelerated this movement by a raaje»tlc wave of tbe band, which said, just ns plain as words could make it, “get out.” The initiated saw at once that there was a mistake somewhere, for the gentleman who hud handled tbe Speaker’s gavel with such vigor, was neither Mr. Colfax or Mr. Anthony, nor, in fact, so much as an humble member, so they stopped to see fun. Just as the new Speaker was about giving the' desk another vigorous hammering, an officer stepped up and asked the gentleman what ho was about. “lam Mr. Colfax,” suui the man, “and I want the Senate to coma to order.” The officer saw that the nnui was deranged, bo with commenda ble tail, he addressed the new Mr. Col fax io the most polite manner, and in formed him that there were a number of bills which needed his signature be fore the session commenced, and as there wen* a great many people about he'd bet tor .slap in® a committee room and sign them. The Speaker relapsed into a thoughtful mood for u moment, and then signified that lie was ready to accompa ny the officer. He w<ih Accordingly es corted out into the lobby, and thence on to the steps of the east front, where he was informed that it was cooler Mian it was inside, a fact that probably be had no trouble in determining. From the time that he was placed outside, until the hour for the session to commence, lie conMunlly consulted his watch. At 12 o’clock he made an effort to enter, but was prevented by an officer informing him that to-day was Cabinet day, and be would probably be wanted at the White House. He immediately started in that direction. The man hails from Boston, and the only name which, he acknowl edges is that of Schuyler Colfax, Vice President of the United States* Considerable excitement is occasioned by a despatch from the west announcing .that “the Indians of the plains will not take scalps from the headsof the negroes killed in battle." It is considered as a flagrant violation of the civil rights bill. This is the crowning insult toour colored citizens. Shall the red-skips thus be al lowed to make distinction on account of race or color? When the colored troops fight bravely, may these untazed Indi ans scorn their scalps as being no trophy worth thetakingofl? This contemptuous treatment of the black man by the Bsd man is not to be borne. Senator Sumner must see to it; he must prepare resolu tions ; ho must fulminate speeches against “ the red man of the forest" who, when on the war path, dares to show a savage disrespect to wool. Let us have a law that.whenever an untaxed red-shin says “ Ugh, big Indian no scalp nigger," somebody shall" shoot him on tbespot." The Indians refuse to scalp the colored soldier, notbecause of the difficulty ih getting his scalp off, for they scalp all the short haired white soldiers they can find. It is their contempt for the negro as an inferior race. They must be taught better; a new stipulation must be put in all the Indian treaties, that “uq distinc tion of race or color" shall be made by them. The,Radical papers on a,Il sides are be* ginning to openly express their dissatis faction will) Grantund his appointments. The grumbles give place to §royyU, The composition of the Cabinet is declared to bo largely bused upo i the subscription lists. The Nation permits a correspon dent to say that the nomination of Mr. Stewart, the day after lie bad presented General Grant with a oheoK ior $65,000. for a house given to him hy a number of gentlemen, of whom Mr. Stewart was one. was very mal-a-proposf n and “the appointment of Mr. Borie, whoaubaorlb ed to the purchase of a house, for General Grunt in Philadelphia, is open to similar Comment.” Editorially, the iVaiioncon demns the appointment of Boutwell.— The Springfield, Massachusetts, Hejmb' can declares that the appointments are made in a manner which does not strengthen the. new administration in the hearts of the people, who care very little about General Grant’s relatives and personal friends, but a great deal, about the selection of good men for the offices, great and small.” Blunder number ten of the Grant ad-: ministration has just been exposed,- order which assigned General Sherman to command of the armies also directed the heads of the different bureaus of the War Department to report to the Gene ral as stall Officers. This order, contra ry to all law and precedent, was duly en forced. It was an accordance with Grant’s imperial theory of concentration, but gave such universal dissatisfaction, both Inside and outside of army, that the President has qomp.elUd to re* scind it. u Tnll oaks from little acorns ktow.
