The caso was an action of ejectmcut, involving the only little property of a widow, ami it was surrounded by great tech nical if.tlieulties, but he succeeded in establishing her title. At .Le ago of twenty-three Mr Bu chanan became a member of the l'lniiylvania Legislature, and, during the progress of tiie war of 1 12, he rondo most urgent appeals to the pat riotism of the Legislature to adopt ef ficient measures of relief. Upon his re-election in 1815 he ardently sup ported a bill appropriating fuOO.OOO s a loan to the United States to pay the militia and volunteers. When the public buildings at Washington were t urned by the British, he head ed a lint of volunteers to march to the delencu of Baltimore, and took the plui-e of a private soldier, in which ca pacity be served until the company was finally discharged. la 1820 Mr. Buchanan entered Con gress His first elaborate speech was tklivf i-ed Jan. 1, 1S22, on a deficiency in lip' military appropriation, and in support of the Federal authority. In his tjK ech on the bankrupt law deliv ered .March 12, he took high constitu tion ground, opposing the proposi tion to extend its provisions from the nicr".:nlilo classes to all citizens of the Union. A short time subsequent ly he took Ground in favor of a tariff ior revenue, in opposition to Henry CUy's high tariff, or "American Sys tem," as then known. In lf25 he in sisted that the election of President of the United Suites by the House of llopri'HonUitives should take place in presence of the people. He opposed Clay's project of a mission to Pana ma ; and, having always entertained misgivings as to the ultimate fate of Mi'iif.u and tba South American rn publiiTS, he cautioned againBt entang ling alliances with them lie opposed the absorption of Cuba by Mexico or anv oiher power.

Ho op Hsed the Webster-Ashburton treaty, establishing the northeastern bounda ries. When President Polk came into of fice Mr. Buchanan was made Secreta ry of 'jute. In this capacity he even tually succeeded in arranging the northeast boundary question with Great Britain ; and in concluding the treaty with Mexico by which Texas was ensured her indcendence, and the vast domain of Caliloruia and New Mexico was added to our terri tory. At tho close of Mr. Polk's ad ministration Mr. B..chanan retired to private life, but si.ll kopt a close watch upou tho political field, lie looked with alarm upon tho slavery agitation, and predicted calamities w tilth have since been more than re alized. He considered the Wilmot proviso a stigma ujon this Slate. Upon the assumption of the Presi dency by Mr. Pierce, Mr. Buchanan was appointed Minister to England, with a view to the settlement of the Central American question, and the possible purchase of Cuba f rom Spain. His papers iu regard to the Clayton Bulwer treaty and his conference at Oslend and Aix la Chatt'Ile with our Minifters at Paris and Madrid, are of great importance. Jn April, 1G, he returned to the United States. Upon his arrival at New York ho was tcn- dered the hospitalities of the city, and ; his whole journey thence to Lancas ter resemble triumphal march. In June following the .Democratic Con vention, which met at Cincinnati, unanimously nominated him for the Presidcnrv, and he was elected re ceiving 174 electoral votca from nine teen Males. On the 4th of March, 1S57, Mr. Buchanan was inaugurated President. Immediately alter the Kansas diffi culty arose, and threatened to em broil the whole country iu a sectional war. The Piesident made himself clearly understood as opposed to sec tionalism, and he did everything pos sible to allay hostile feeling and to secure a national and fraternal feeling between the Slates. After these troubles bad subsided, the Mormons iu Utah assumed a rebellions attitude and openly resisted the authority of the Government. A formidable mili tary expedition was at once organized to proceed to Utub, but, true to his humanitarian views, Mr. Buchanan sent along with it two peace commis sioners one of whom was Col. T. L.

If A backwoodsman should insist on using an axe to cut his crop of grain, instead of a sickle, because the axe had rendered good service in felling the forest that had stood upon the samo ground the proceeding year, no body would be apt to think well of his judgment in the selection of a uten sil. As we are not to have a war, thcre.is less fitness in the selection of a general than of a statesman, as a candidate for President. Gen. Grant has been nominated solely in conse quetico of his militury reputation. Waiving, for tho present, the funda mental objection that the instrument is not adapted to the proosed use, and that luo ..Presidency, during the next term, will afford no scope for tho exertion of military talent, we challenge inquirj into the grounds of General Grant's fame as a soldier. We suppose that none of his friends will serionsly maintain that he is en titled to be called a great general merely because be has commanded great armies, much less because he has exposed and lest in battle great multitudes of men. His reputation rests Ufon the fact that all bis cam paigns have been successful. Hut suc cess against such adversaries as Pil low or Pcmbcrton in the West is no very signal proof of abilities, unless they commanded greater forces ; which they did not. General Lee was a more worthy antagonist ; bat General Lee was not conquered by fiirhting him, but by exhausting his resources. He stood on the defensive fur nearly a year after Grant assumed command in the Last, although the Confederacy was even then, when Grant crossed the liapidan, tottering and well nigh sjient by three years exertion in a strenuous and unequal struggle. It is certainly just to cred it Grant with the capture of Lee ; but there is a debit as well as a credit side to the account. What General Scott called "the economy of life by means of head work" will be sought lor in vain in the campaigns of Geu. Grant. His successes have been won by a prodigal expenditure of bis soldiers. Jn Lis last and greatest campaign he pitted aii enormous army against a small one, and sacrificed twice aa many men as Gen. Lee had under his command. It is not justice, but ad ulation, to praise him as if be bad con qtieied an army as large as bis own. It is not justice but an affront to hu manity to give hira as much credit as if he had achieved thraame result without such wholesale sacrifices of mn. Th following in an n thentic statement of the respec tive forces and losses of Generals Grant and Lee between the ltapidan and the James. Grant, on assuming command May 4, ltG4, bad of effective men besides the reserve, when be crossed the Kap idan, 125.OO0. Lee at the same date had an effec tive force of 5J.000. Grant's reinforcements up tothe The two armies then met in front of Petersburg. We have been at some pains to as certain and verify these figures, ar.d we vouch for their substantial accura i cy. We shall take care that fiey do not escape the notice nor slip the rec ollection of the country. We cheer fully concede to General Grant the merit of success j but it is right that the country should know the terrible cost at which that success was pur chased. The truest test of military genius is the accomplishment of great results with slender means. We can recull no instance (unless Grant be an in stance) of a general who established his title to be called great otherwise than bv succeeding avaitist rrcat dis- - - " - - ..-. . . ii strength by overmastering an invalid or cripple.

Washington, May SO Some thirty seven years ago the Natiotul Govern ment held in trust ior the Cherokee Indians the sum of $20O,"" in gold, and having use for about that sum appropriated it, giving the Cherokecs instead a deed to 800,000 acres of land in what is now Southern Kansas. This tract of land was never occupied by the Cherokecs, but wts held in trust for them by the nationtl government, supposing that the rise n value would fully equal the interest on the sum paid. Meanwhile it was taken possession of and improved by settlers, who, finding it vacant, supposed they could acquire titles to it under the pre-emption or homestead law. It was estimated that 60,000 settlers occupied thut portion of Kansas a year ago, and the number has been rapidly increasing since. In ISou' the Cherokecs applied to the Secretary of the Interior, Kev. Harlan, fur permission to sell the land n ques tion, offering it first to the Govern ment for $M'0,000 currency, or $200, 000 less than first cost if yon taks tlie interest and depreciation of currency into consideration. It could readily have been resold to the acttlcrs occi pying it in tracts of 100 acres each, at therateof f 1.25 per acre, orf 1,000, OW for the whole, thus repaying the Gov ernment for outlay, expense of survey ing, etc An arrangement or treaty was final ly made by which the Secretary of tbe Interior was to have tho land ap praised by a commission and sold to the settlers at iu appraised value, or he might sell it in a body for a eura not less than f 00,000 casii. As the land was considered by good judges to be worth from $l,.ri(t0,lKKHo $0,000,000, Mr. Secretary d;d not let much grass grow under hit feet before selling it to the American Emigrant Comtiany of Connecticut, of which , Mr. John Williams, the author of the national bank system, was general agent, lor J2o,00'J cash down and $775, 00 on long credit. The jii proiiontx-vd Lr tk. At torney Geueral illegal and void, and Mr. Browning, alter taking control of the department, resold the land to one Mr. Joy, of Detroit, whose right to it was contested by the Emigrant Com pany. Having, however, reconciled their differences, both oonteslantsarc now putting forth every effort to get the Senate to legulize the fiist sale. This tract of land is nearly equal to a principality. Towns have grown up within iu boundaries, and much of it is now improved lurms worth $."0 per acre. If these sharpers get a title to ihe land the settlers, or a large jortion of them, will be at their mercy obli ged to pay w hatever avaricious specu lators may demand, or leave their homestead. It is not likclv that these heartless lobbyisU will demand of their victims less than 10 per acre on an average, which will bring the enor mous sum of f VioO.OuO-beiug profit of 7200,000 on an investment of $S0Q, Out). This land having been placed in tbe hands of the Government in trust for sale, it was tbe imperative duly of the Secretary of the Interior to have offered it first to the settlers w ho had enriched it. If they refused lo buy the sharpers might then have bad a chance. Such a straightfor ward, honest course, however, would have left no chance for the lobby go bct weens to make $7,200,000. One very peculiar feature of this transaction is that it is all fixed up in secret session of the Senate, the House having no knowledge of the matter at any stage of the proceedings.

They arc fHiiml partners in the honors and v. pected emoluments, and formed a tri angular mutual admiration society. Cochrane, would make a motion that Gen. Sickles be invited to address the crowd. When he got through, Loao T - j would call for Cochrane, and Sickles and Cochrane lor Logan. Jn this man ner they managed to keep themselves prominently before the ieopl6 during the whole session. The '-honor" ol nominating Grant was held in reserve for the "noble Loran " who d d it in his usual bichlalulin stvlo. It is this c lass of unprincipled played out dem agogues who are to coutrol Grant, should he be elected. Tbe Chicago Timet gives the follow ing general description of the Iladical National Convention : None of tbe doK-n negro delegates in the Chicago Convention were invited to make speeches. Why did not the whites who sat cheek by jowl with the colored brethren give them a chance to be heard? Perhaps a spee h from one of them might have gone far to wards reconciling the faithful to negro oqua'ity, which will ineviublv come if Grant and Colfax should be elected.

Unlortnnately, however, this missha pen spawn of some extinct monster can commit no crime, whether of blood or lust, and can fathom no depth of brutality or cowardice that cannot find an example and illustration in his own past, and which will not be repeated in his life to come, should '.ho law permit him to go unwhipt of JWUtue, mid eoctoty tolurutn tho exis tence of a seething mass ol corruption such as has not defiled the air we breathe, nor been looked upon by mortal eye since Jean Vol Jean emer ged from tho reeking sewers of Paris. To insult and browbeat a witness, as Butler did Charles W. Wooley, in the committee room, was only to do j wtiat the bullying spirit born ol the war, would teach as a gentlemanly accomplishment to most of those whose loyalty and patriotism mean simply an impudent intolerance. To tell him 'that he lied," as Wooley al leges Butler did, and then quickly to retract it, when Wooley hinted at resentment outside, was to advance a step nearer the deep shadow of that infamy whither the Beast retreats when be goes to wallow in his own peculiar lair ; but to rise in the nation al legislature and advocate the im prisonment of a lawyer because be refused to reveal tbe sccreU of bisi clients, universally held a ''privileged communication," a professional rela tion Trhich a Lord Chancellor of Eng land said not only "jvtifiti tbe with holding of such secrets, but bound the counsel to withhold, and not dis close in any court of law or equity either as party or witness" was an act so foul that the soul of the 'rob ber" mated with the soul of the "mur derer,"and Bullerand Bingham struck bands. And the red band of Mrs. Surratt's murderer drew Ihe resolu tion which arraigned thelawj-cr who dared lo stand uKn bis honor and bis oath, and the foul breath of the Bcait pressed it to a vote, and tbe Congressional spaniels said ,-yea" mummies that lliey are who might, for any soul or will of theirs, as well be under tbe pyramids of Egypt, when Stevens w inds the lash ol his scourge 'around them, or the Beast L'aiCS UIOn them his ril oya, the like of which man has not fx-ca since Zanoni looked upon the monster that guarded the portal of the unseen world. True, Butler intensified tbe joy be felt, in breaking the spirit and woun ding the honor of helpless man, by wreaking at the aame tinn cruelty and prol-able ruin upou a young girl. Yinnie Ileam, who is, it seems, a nle votec of art, and whose proficiency in the branch she has selected, induced Congress to employ her to execute the marble statue of Lincoln for the Capitol, occupied the very room des- : . i I .. lj,,,n. . i r : .. i. . m the -fiiard bouse " lo be used bv the Senrcant-at-Arms. There stands her clay model, with all her delicate and unwearying labor upon it it cannot be moved, and if left to dry will shrink and crack, and become useless, and hence she must lose ber model ana her labor, and with them her support. What is it in this girl's pure life that has prompted the Beast lo rend ber with his claws? Thank God that even this era of corruption can furnish but one such cowardly fiend, and the hand that threatens lust and outrage to the unprotected women of a con quered lily, is the same thai now de spoils tbe young artist in her studio.

Sufficient time has now elapsed since the Chicago Convention to speak of the effect of the nominations made there and tho political prospect as viewed from the central point. The ticket has fallen list and pro duced no impression whatever. There are various reasons for this fact, but tho main one is the identification of General Grant with the radical wing of the party, and his f ull acceptance of their policy, including imiieaeh- .ii . .i 1 i whieb k .deb ated openly and even violently, as is well known here and as General Logan and Mr. JudJ, of Illinois, emphatically declared at Chicago. General Grant went over to the Radicals and abandonod his previous conservative tendencies last October, at which time Washbnrne came to Washington toarrange the programme and General llawlings was sent West to make a sjiecch revealing his chief s conversion to the doctrines of Tbad. Stevens and the "Mountain." Ever since that time be has been losing ground, and now is even weaker than the party, because il is admitted that be brings no outside strength and excites ?o interior enthusiasm, w hile old and straight-laced Ilepubli cans will ltolt his nomination as ao abandonment of principle. Il is absurd lo suppose that Colfax adds a particle of influence to tbe con cern. Any ward politician would be equally strong, and be is of the di mensions of a war! politician, only raised in the country. There are tens of thousands of lbs same class and genius scattered over tbe Union, many of whom are vastly superior to the individual whose smirking medi ocrity occupies the chair once filled 1 bv llemy Clay.
