NVeitnesday, Il!ecombpr 18y 1867. 416TUANT ON STANTON'S ittENOVAL. No Wonder that the President has feared to imayepublic the letter written to him on the :tste , Angust, 1867, by' General Grant,-re— :7lXlcinstrating against the suspension of Secre lary•gtatiton„and the removal. of Major -General Sheridan from the command of the I.Ffthllilitary District. That letter, just pre :aental to the House of Representatives, is the "worst rebuke the President has received from anyone in a high government position. It all-sufficient is, moreover, an proof that the •-conlidence of the Republican party in Gene ral Grant has not been °misplaced. • Every good Republican will rejoice over the terse and pithy sentences in which Gen eral Grant expresseshis opinion of the Tenure of Office bill, declaring that "it was intended especially to protect the Secretary of War, in whom the country felt great confidence," adding that "the meaning of the law may be explained away by an astute lawyer, but 4:01111/1011 BCI2BC and tits cicala of loyal people will give to it the effect intended by its framers." Common' sense and the views of loyal people, are here emphasized as the antithesis of Mr. Johnson's sense and Mr. Johnson's tiewe. The point is made deli cately and politely, -but it is none the less: telling. The remonstrance against General •Sheri, dans removal is still more conclusive con cerning General Grant's views. He condemns it as a wrung to a great soldier, "universally and deservedly beloved by the people who sustained this Government through, its trials, and feared by those who would still be the enemies of the Government." He says that "it fell to the lot of but few men to do as much against an armed enemy as General Sheridan did during the rebellion; and it is within the scope or but few in this or any other country, to do what he has." But the letter sought not to be quoted in detached sentences. The full text will be found in another column, and all of it will be preserved and treasured as proving, un questionably, that General Grant disapproves of the President's reconstruction policy, and heartily approves the Congressional policy. In the concluding paragraph of this noble letter, General Grant recognizes those whom the President condemns and resists, as "the loyal people of the country, those who sup ported the Government during the great re bellion." This is a severe rebuke to Mr. Johnson and the Democratic party, and it must banish from the minds of the leaders any idea they may have entertained of Mak ing him their nominee for the Presidency. It settles also that he will be the standard bearer of the Republican party, and that he will carry it to a glorious victory, as he carried the standard of the Union in his-mag nificent campaigns. CEUELTI To Ariurcubs. The Pennsylvania Society for the Preven tion of Cruelty to Animals has for its legiti mate object the performance of' a duty which commends itself to every humane heart. No one can witness the brutal cru- Aty with which dumb animals are often treated, without a feeling of hearty appro vslwf the,association of prominent citizens who have 'devoted themselves to the busi i mess of punishing wanton cruelty, and teach ing Inman brutes that the dumb beasts which they maltreat have the substantial protection of the laws. In every wise and energetic measure for this end, this Society %deserves universal countenance and support, and his only because of its recognized power Sor usefulness that we desire to caution its officers and m,anagers aviintt a policy which Las recently been inaugurated, and which 4can,not fail tO bring a laud ible enterprise into ridicule wherever it becomes kuown. A small tract, prettily printed, with a bright cover, bearing the seal of the Society, has just been set forth. It is ca ll e d Townsend's Walk and Conversation with Iris Children." We prefer nut to know who is the author of this initial publication of this excellent Society, but it is utterly imooisible that it can have passed the personal inspee tim of the gentlemen who constitute the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani mals. Their names are printed at the be inning of the tract and the list includes nearly of the best and wisest and most prac alcal meta in Philadelphia, and it is hard to understand how they have been Wright to sanction the utter twaddle and trash which "Mr. Townsend" talks to hi children, in ,behalf of the Society. The sidigule which' Mr. Bergh brought upon the ip me cause in New York, by insisting that Antes should not be turned on, their beck, Win be more than repeated by every Ben sitla,reeder of this mawkish "Walk lad CJa veretaium." Dlr. Townsend is apparently, a Hind )o, who regards all dent rt..ction of animal life its a mortal M. flu begis by telling oue of his antappy children, wpo wishes to kill an egty hag; "that these p)or bugs havo *cling bp Well as we, and, if we :ill thew, We, skill camas pain aa gmt aa U a robber were OP Mae Gilt Of Ow Weeds SQL lad k- 0121221 EM n ,.,\ Large Assortment dtl6.ffit§ us." Mr. Tounsend doubtless has the high authority of Shakespeare, for 'this physiolo gical absurdity, in, the fact that ' • • ..Tbe peer be43tfe that we tread upOn in corporal sufferance finds a pang as great As when a giant dies: , But the teaching is scientifically untrue, and . • is a part of that extravagant tenderness which induces the old gentleman to say, "We should ' be very careful not to take away the itle of anything." The Society for the Preven tion of Cruelty to Animals is not a vegeta rian body, and there is probably not a single one of its members that would hesitate a moment in killing any noxious insect or rep, tile that annoyed him. Even the :venerable Townsend would kill a musquito if it became at all troublesome. But Mr. ToWnsend hav ing breathed himself over a roetug rises to the higher grades of animated atare, and instructs his innocent offspring upon the wickedness Of shooting birds. And here, we are bound to,say, the old gentleman falls into that too common vice of those who love to recount, in old age, the exploits of their youth. Not to put too fine a point on Tmsend gets off the folloWing tremendous Alunchausenism, by way of confessing the sins of his youth: "Ono day I fired into a flock of robins that had lighted upon a cedar bush to eat the berries they are so fond of. I killed more than a dozen, and I was very proud of my success. The next day as I was passing the eame place with my gun for another. shot, '1 beard a mournful chirping of birds among the busheS, and as I looked further into the cause of this singular noise. Oh, my dear children, I shall never forget the sight; on every branch was a poor little wounded bird, some with their legs shot off, some without eyes, or hills, and some with their fea thers bloody fiord wounds received in their bodies. Oh, I cannot describe to you my feel ings when I thought that I was the author of all this suffering.. I would have given my gun and all \that I had about me to relieve some of these poor little suffering birds, but I could do nothing —and went away with tears in my eyes at seeing so sad a sight. When I reachtd home I drew the load from my gun, add made a resolve that I would never shoot a bird again, and from that day to this, now nearly thirty years, I have never fired a gun." There are few such shots in these degenerate days, as•was old Townson d in his prime. He fires into an immense flock of robins, all perched'" on"one cedar bush. Killing a dozen out-right, he naturally enough sup posed them to be the extent of his game, and goes home to dine on robin-pie. But he had not examined the vast cedar bush proper ly, for the next day he is amazed to find that with his 'single shot, he had hit, not a dozen, but scores of unfortunate birds. On every branch sits a bird without legs, chirping without a bill, and even with blood on its feathers. The sight is too much for the tender-hearted sportsman. He can think of no way of putting them out of their misery, though another of his deadly shots would have knocked every -one of them into pie, and he cruelly leaves them to their fate and" walks away home, never to shoot• another gun as long as he lives. What arrant stuff and nonso nse all this is But Townsend is not done with his children yet. From bug to, bird, and from bird to beast, be hurries on, stopping for a moment to compliment some sparrows who *were so cruel as to smother a strange and friendless bird to death, by plastering it up in a nest with mud. He takes up the subject of borses,and here we feel that Townsend is get ting upon the legitimate grounds of the Society, and we look for some goed,wholesome,manly talk upon a, subject in which all humane per sons are intorested. But there is nothing of 'the kind. Townsaid goes from bad to worse. He gives a conversation between himself and a fast young man who over-drives his horse, which would have made even the abused animal laugh,. if it had really taken place. The fast young man afterwards gets thrashed by a good young man, "genteelly dressed,' , whereupon all the children show ho w they have profited by the' parental "walk and conversation," by exclaiming : we had been there we would have helped to tear his clothes off of his back." It all winds up by a broad-brimmed ,gen tleman's being so pleased with the good young man that he invites him home, where hd falls in love with the old gentleman's daughter, and the papa at once exclaims : "The heart that can feel for a .poor dumb beast, cannot be unfeeling towards a wife"; and he took him by the hand and wished him joy. "They were married, and , his father-in-law set him up in business, with a capital of *7;0,000, and they are living now in Philadelphia, in great prosperity and happiness." Of course the fast young man gets pitched out of his buggy, soon atter,and breaks his neck, which pleases the young Townserfds not a little. In all seriousness, and with the very best good-will toward a most praiseworthy society, we protest against such nonsense as this being published in its name. It brings a good cause into complete ridicule,and compromises the well-known taste and judgment of the large majority of the public-spirited gentle men who are interested in the Society. FIRES. Destructive fires seem to have become epi-, demie. The record-of the" past 'few days in cludes the. burning of a gun-works at Pitts biargh, with the destruction of seventy-five thousand muskets, and' involving a loss of nearly. four hundred thousand dollars ; the utter destruction of a cotton-mill at Fall River, Massachusetts,.with a loss of a million and a half dollars; and the throwing out of employment of five hundred operatives in the dead oi t winter ; the burning of a nickel fac- . tory at Camden, with:a loss of X1;,,000; the destruction of a church in Washington city, with a loss of $150,900 ; a great fire at Bos ton, with a loss of a quarter of a million dollars; and, most• . horrible of. all, the burning of a tenement house in New. York, with the stflOcation of eight human beings. Must American buildings . arer peculiarly liableto destruction' by fire. Wooden roots, Lullo~. stud partitions that act as free passages for the prompt circulation of flame ; taw wood exposed .to the' 'charring 'of hot flues, and sometimes running into or throuit. them, are all great aids to the • rapid , spread of flame , and the wholesale destruction of 'property. The New York tenement hOuse is a refinement on.this recklessness, for in it not 'dont property, but . hunnm life i is triflo with. There is tv law 'which requires that these funeral piles shall be furnished with ex - tuna] means . sf espupr; but the Mayor; .A ldermen 'and 'Councilmen of that detect . ably governed city are too busy squabbling over the public spoils to p a y an y attention to the . • preservation of lile or property.

The two factions into which • the Fenian organization in this country is. divided have agreed to settle their differences ,by throwing overboard both of the . o Fresidents" who haie 'headed the respective .;parties.

But his malignant hatred of the Union and the loyal people:of the country were scarcely his worst points 'of 'character; for hig inso lence to the Government after the assassina tion:of Mr. Lincoln was so outrageous that it almost threw his malignant treason into the back-ground. We repeat that if the Irish- American Fenians desire -to win the sympa thies and . good wishes _'of the American people, they could not have made a greater. blunder than the choice of this man f,ar their leader. But for the fact - that - chronic bin n d ering marks every move 'of this organiza tion; the less charitable view would be taken that the election of John Mitchel is intended as a deliberate insult .to the loyal people of the rnion. • Obttua.ry. Hon. Mordecai McKinney, of Hafrisbur, died yesterday in that city.' He had been run over by a street ear on Saturday, and his leg had to be amputated. Death ensued, as was not unnatural at bis time of life, his age being seventy-one. Mr. McKinney was a most excellent' man, his whole career, having been perfectly blameless. His death is sincerely mourned in Harrisburg and wherever he was known. Major Francis J. Shunk, of the Ordnance Corps of the - United States Army, died suddenly at Richmond, Va., on Thursday last. A report from Harrisburg erroneously reported the death of another son of Governor Shank, a lawyer and politician of York. Major Shunk graduated at West Point, in 1853, and was a talented and ex pvien eed officer. A GREAT PICTURE sale will take place to morrow and Friday evenings, at the Art Gallery of B.
