The United States Senate has passed, without debate, ttie bill introduced n dny or two nge by Sennter Edmunds, te put Grant en tlie retired list of thenrmy with tlie rnnk of general. Why there should be unnnlmeus assent te this men sitre in tlie Sennte we de net knew, as we de net even see why It should com mand a majority of the body. Certnlnly in our judgment it was net commended by its wisdom. We knew no ge01 reason why General Grant should, at this tlme mere than at any rait time, be the object of benefac tienbythe United States or any of lis people. It Is true that he has lest all of Ills fortune, uave the $250,000 held in trust for him, hut it Is also true that he lest his fortune by his fault ; and that he still has from the fund secured te him an Income of ever fifteen thousand del Jars a year ; which Is full enough for his comfortable maintenance. We de net new ralse any question as te the deserts of General Grant from the country for what he did for It in the rebellion. Fer that he has been rewarded as the country thought at. He has since been the president of the nation ; and of his virtue in that place we de uet need te sp?ak, though about it there are certainly two opinions. He has been In private life since he left the presidency ; and his record in that llfe has certainly net been such as te eniltle him te claim a reward for it from the peo ple. He gave his name and fatne te a buslutvu partnership which premised him great profits. It seems reasenable te believe that he knew that his name was n valuable stock in the trade of his establishment, and that it was used te insplre confidence and attract custom and capital. It was his clearest duty te protect his name, ami these te whom it was a guarantee, by seeing that It was n real guarnntic of the soundness of the operations -f his business firm. Instead of r' this It is new asserted by General t .it, nud his sous, in defending th dehes from suspicion of collusion . h tlielr guilty partner, that they had entrusted te him all the transactions of the Arm, its safe and its chwbboek, and were entirely ignorant of his doings. Very well. We believe the statement Hut it undoubtedly sustains Frederick Grant's declaration that he aud his brothers and his lather, the general, were feels. That U the very best phase of the sit uation for General Grunt. Assuming then that he is guiltless In this matter because he was a feel, or acted as one, are we te understand that the United States Senate is unanimously of opinion that General Graut should be put en the retired list of thenrmy, as general, with adouatienof 520,000 or se a jeir, be cause he Is a feel, unable te take care of himself, and tlie cause of less te the friends who trusted their money te their faith in his sanity V Are we te understand that the army Is properly an asylum for feels, who cannot be trusted otherwise te keep out of the peer house 't Wc hope that no such imputation is te be thus officially stamped and sealed upon the etllcera; although wu have long had reason te suspect that the army was te some extent used by men in authority te get their peer relations in out of the wet,teasnug retreat where they would cease from tr- i.bling. Sir. Cox, Democratic representaiie irem New Yerk, lately exiled Sinset Cox, but new open te the appellation of Moonstruck Oex, has moved in tl.e Heuse a similar resolution te thit which has passed the Senate, In prevision for Grant. Mr. Cox sajs that he has se moved because of pity for Grant in his present plight, aud It-cause of his generosity te Filz Jehu Perter, and because he is "the most historic general of tlie civil war." Mr. Cox's pity wa3 net a fit foundation for his vote ; nor should Grant's gener osity have provoked it ; and whatever It may be te be un historic general, its merit pales its fire before the brilliance of the meteoric tiuaucier. Mr Cjx was sent te Congress te vete the people's money away in useful works and in de serving charity. That Grant has dene justice te Perter after doing lum great injustice, has recommended hitu te the Democratic heart of the country ; but neither its pity for him, nor affection for him, warrants a donation te him when he has been the witless agent in a monumental fraud. Ovicn in England they leek sj sharp Jy after dishonesty that they send pe i ple te jail for pocketing money that they Hed en the highway, when they de net search for the owner. The Londen Standard of April HO th records that : " William Hurley, a costcrmengor, was sentoueed te a month's hard labor, at the Guildhall polieo court, yesterday, for BtealinR threo 101 bauk of England notes whleu hud been dropped In the Htroet near s Ids barrow by Mr. James a publican. The prisoner, lustead of making proper inqui ries as te the owner, changed oue of the notes and gaveth' niouey te his brother te take care of." That is n .-. interpretation of the law tending t Ue oecurement of great honesty ameiifc the poeplo. It la quite tee far advanced for this lat itade. We are content if we can keep people's bauds off the men-y m .;r pockets, and wheii it gets en tlie aide walk we consider It public property. We are evn advauelng en this doctrlue and propose te surrender our cash te thieves who take it in, en pretence that they are bankers, charit nbly intent en keeping it safe for us and even premising a profit of tenner cent, a month ; and tlien stick it in tlielr pockets and fall. When ex-presidents of the United States go into this busi ness we may consider it a well estab lished nnd rightly endorsed industry. i m- i i 1 1 The efllce of pert wnrden in Philadel phla has net hitherto been considered a political ene, and both parties have been represented in the beard. The Itepubll. caua, new having a stalwart rnujerity in councils, propose te turn out every Diuiociatle warden, though some of the minority party are the beat and beat fitted efflcinla. Philadelphia Is reaping the whirlwind, for which shetewed wind in February. Chaiuks O'Ce.VOti would have made a president of whom the country would have been proud te the last day of recorded history. Hew smaller men could ever have raised their heads in New Yerk as presidential ratidhlntes while he lived, is ene of these sad poisl peisl bllitles of politics which keep our country ever In the mud. Charles O'Ceimr was a patriot ; and thereby debarred fiem the presidency ; which seems only open te the self-seeking political harlot or the accidental nss. Tun Independent Republicans of New- Yerk, headed by Gen. T. ( llirlnw, and Inspired by men of Carl Schurz'H way of thinking have put out un address; the substance of which Is that te carry New Yerk Is essential te Republican success , that it cannot possibly be car ried for that party If Its nominee fei president Is open te any serious ebjec tleu, and that Arthur, Blaine, Legan especially Blame nruopen te such jectiens. - i Ir Is notable that the most ardent free traders In the Republican camp sue most urgent for Elmttnd a prelec tienist -for the presldeutl.il nomination De our esteemed Democratic friends, who are pressiug the tariff issue e.H'i't anj where te get Republican votes by insisting upon "a tariff for icvenue only " platform and candidate ? If se. in what state and where Is tl-e sign of It ? It Is reported that ver hitter ptrsennl feeling exists at Washington between the friends and opponents of the Moiri Meiri Moiri sen bill. This littleness and bickering is the best proof that these who engage in it have net the breadth of beam for Democratic leadership. Witness Walsh says that Luwyei Merrick, of the government counsel, told him ttmt Lawyer Bliss, also of the government counsel, was " a d d sceundrel1' Let Merrick au I Bliss be called.

Matthew Arneld's best friends admit that his visit te this country was a disap pointment te his real admirirs, mainly however, because he ventured upon the locture platform, for which he was utterly untltted.
