POSITION' OF GENERAL GRANT IX RELA
TION TO POLITICAL CONTESTS
MS OPINION OF NORTHERN'
SYMPATHIZERS WITH
THE REBELS.
The Chicago Rrpnllican, a a letter
from its reporter travelling with the Pres
idential party, makes the following inter
estinr; statements in conntction with Gen
eral Grant's refusal to present himself to
the soldiers who attempted to call him out
in advance of the I're: ident's arrival at
Cincinnatli :
The fact is, that General Grant knows,
as has been parent to every one dutipg
the whole of this trip, that continued ef
forts have been made to embitter, if poss
ible, his relations with the President by
exciting the jealousy of the latter, or by
makiug invidious distinctions between
them, aud he is determined that co act
of his shall leud any encouragement to
any such contemptible proceeding on the
one hand, or those that have been made
with like persistency to identify him with
the political views of the President on
the other. General Grant lee Is that next
to the President, he is the bead of the
army of the United States, not the leader
of a political party. He does not con
sider the army a place for a politician,
j and therefore will not permit himse'f to
rj()' he comiaittcJ to the support of either of
..1 00 the j.rcseut political parties, nor that the
army shall he maJe a party isachine.

John Hogan, of St. Louis, Missouri ; 3Ir.

know.
In about a miuute afterwards, General
Grant, who had been in the I'rcsideut's
ear to present himself to the people as
scmbled at Wist Junction, hai re-entered
the car, and, having reated himself, beck
oned to me to come and speak with him.

his determination tot to be used by thisc
who sought to commit him either for er
against the President's policy, or to attach
any political significance to his presence
on tbo Presidents excursion. He had
also been muck annoyed at the urj which
had been made of his came by John
Ilogan, who has presumed to state that
General Grant was politically with the
President, and on one similar occasion by
Mr. Seward. He left that it was, above
all things, desirable for officers of the
army to avoid participation iu ordinary
political conflicts, except il was their du
ty as citizens to support only men who
could show a record of consistent loyalty.
Whether a man's sentiments were John
sonian or Republican, he said he felt that
it was an insult to any loyal man to ask
him to vote lor any candidate who was
not a loyal man ia 1SG1 In this con-j
nection he said that, without cxpressiti"
any views of his own for or against the
Johnson policy, he yet felt it to be a mis
fortune for 3Ir. Johnson that the advo
cates of his policy in the States through
which he had just pass.'d, Missouri, Illi
nois and Indiana, had in some instances
put cn their ticket men who in 1SG1 and
1SQ2 had been guilty of known disloyalty
to the Government; because (aud this
was said in a very emphatic manner) be
felt that to ask men whose sons had shed
their blood for th Uciou to vote for men
who had been disloyal to it, was the great
est insult that could be offered. South
ern men he could make allowances for,
and he could ride through the South and
e;et out on a platform and shake hands
iu friendship with such men as Lee, John
soa or Forrest, because, though they had
been almost educated into secession, they
were now truly honest and loyal in their
adherence to the Union, aud were seeking
to strengthen it. But he did not feel iu
that way towards Northern men who had
ouce been disloyal, and neither desired to
associate with them nor have them for his
friends. No such men should have bis
support, nor ought they to be supported
by Mr. Johnson's friends throughout the
Northern States. He particularly in-
jstaaced, a3 a specimen of this objection-:
able class of men, Ileister Clymer, the
Democratic candidate for Governor oi
j Pennsylvania, sayinp; that to ask afij s'o'-
dier to vote for such a man, of at one
time known disloyalty, against another
who had served four years ia th Union
army, with credit to hitnseif and benefit .
to his country, was a gross insult. If
men desired to support Mr. Johnson 'a
policy let them, but, at all events, let
them vote only for enih n:ca as wer9
true to the country in 1S01.
THE ADOPTION OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL
AMENDMENT THE GREAT MEAS
URE OF PEACE AND U.NIUS.
It is a fact of some importance, thai
even the Democrats do not assail the terms
cf the amendment as oppressive or unjust.
They have geoerally coutcnted themselves
with maintaining that NO terms of admis
sion could rightfully be demanded of the
Southern communities ; but since they
have endorsed the Executive j lan of Kc
constructiou, that position is nec-carilj
abandoned. The only question that re
mains, then, is whether the terni propos
ed by Congress are just nd expedient ?
Undeniably they are. Caa a::y ciau deny
that the equalization of representation j
that it shall stand upon a common basis
all over the country, is a measure of jus
tice? If slavery is really dead, as all
r.arties are so vociferous in maintaining,
ought the unjust, infamous, rotten-borough
system of representation ba?ed upon
it to be continued ? Ought a voter iti
Pennsylvania to have not ono-half the in
fluence in Congress that a voter in South.
Carolina has ? Doc? magnanimity to
wards the late Rebel States dentand that
we should give them an unjust sectional
advantage iu the Union ? If net, what
irood reason can be utged why that fea
ture of the Corstit'.uiona! awendnicnS
should not ba endorsed by all parties ?
So, too, of the clause excluding from
office the prominent and leading actors ia
the late Rebellion, is there anythifg hard
or oppressive about that ? Consider for
a moment what these men hare done, their
Crimes against the liberties of a fece peo
ple, their endeavor to revolutionize the
Republic, that they might rear a i-r?at
slave empire on its ruins, the precious
lives ihey have wasted, and the moun
tains of debt and taxation they have heap
ed up for us and our children and then
say whether their exclusion from positions
of honor and trust in the very Govern
ment they have endeavored to overthrow,
is a hard condition 1 Docs not common
rrdinary prudence demand that for thj
future tbeso men shall be kept in private
life ? Is it a great hardship that we wil!
not make them our rulers ?
We think that the good conirson sensS
of the American people will affirm that
the conditions imposed by them are not
ou!y not unjust, but in the highest dvgrea
magnanimous.
Why, then, should not the Rebel States
accept these conditions at otire, and ter
minate the contest ? Tennessee did sOj
and her Representatives were immediately
admitted. Every Southern State luighs
do it, aud have its Representatives in
Congress before the 1st day of next Jan
nary. What bettor ground of compro
mise and settlement for this who.c ques
tion have wc than the Constitutional
amendment ? Its adaption will terminate)
the struggle, and give us peace. Is not
that what we ail want? Why, then,
refuse so sure, so easy, so speedy, and so
equitable a plan of aHjustmcnt? l'litia
ilJliia Tiijritjih.
JdyThe grand jury of York county
has ignored the bills sent up against tho
persons who sought to take the life of
General Geary and others, by attacking
the railroad train with pistols and stones
at the late pic-nic f the "Boys in Rlue"
in that county, and at which time several
persons were severely injured. There
were some thirty witnesses subpoenaed ou
behalf of the Commonwealth, and the)
fact of firing a pistol into, and burling-
stones at the train, was-iucoutestabiy prov

grand juries.
The corner stone of the Douglas

Gen. Dix delivered the oration. Presi
