I lraldl la uu act worse ' than tbe ' offence ofthereJaryV uTi, screen' hint from tlinjeguetieii rjf tthla arbitrary inter ferjiu between pjiugreaa and the guilty nilUiittl tlcn. Grant's friends claim that he wa not aware of the extent of the Secre tary's oUeucea wbeu he accepted the r MlguaUun.. But thia defence will not do. Tlwt Prealdent had. been - ufonneil of the ieiiidRls of thw War Department, and be- aidea thia ihe very fact that Mr. Belknap resigned waa revelation nougli. Presi dent Grant 1 had no excuae under these circumstances for accepting the realgna tlon lusautaneoualy aud with 'great re gret,' but waa hound by official dignity a id duty to consult with tbtcallnet and await the action of Vongrw ' The reaxon why we consider the act of the president worse than tbe offence of Secretary are these: ' . ' ' ' 1 ' s : Fl rat The , President bos endeavored officially to protect a crimlual who con- fesKed to him. his crime. ; It matter not how far that crime waa coufesaed or liow confused and incorhereut waa the man ner r the otl'ender The President knew tbere waa guilt. , , . 7 ,' Sec)ud The Preldent has endeavored to prevent Cougreaa from .y Indicating the houor of. the Iteuubljc' The diagrac which Mr, Belknap inflicted tipou the country required that Cougreaa abould in ataully purge the government by hla im peaclimeut and vouvictiou. , Thia "aa ueceeaary to the honor of tbe country, aud thia the President haa foioiddeu. The artiuleaof in .vachroent' adopted by the House- it ia feared, will full like spent bul leta. The President has pardoned Mr. Belknap before die Senate could try bim. Third The 1 Preaideiit crowns by thia act'of Interference a long serin of acts of protection to cfilchtls who were suspected or accused r convicted of crime. " The list need not be repealed now,- but the Miial act casta a retroactive shadow over a record already dark and doubtful enough. Fourth General Grant Las by thin act placed the Executive In a auMpicUms at titude in the aight of the world. What the world may thin of UlyaaeeS. Grant may not be important, but lu the opinion that other uatious may hold off the Preai deiit of the United States the people have certainly an interest. The President dis graces tbe people w hen be uses hie au thority to protect criminals, and putaa veto upon their punlbhineuf . The felony of the Secretary wf War waa bad enough. but the act by . which tha President re moved bin: from the hands of Congreea, aud tried to baffle) Impeachment and pre vent the nation from vindicating Its houor. constitutes a moral offence which the law may not lie able lo pun Mi, but which the people, who uiude the law ' will uut for give ' ' ' ' ' Wftshingtou.
