Professor Taylor's Card and Young Ramseur's Case. The attention of the readeij is called to the matter from The Baltimore Com mercial Advertiser, in another( column, containing Professor Taylor's letter,and the refutation of his charges by a peti tion of the father of young Ramseur, to President Grant. letter of A Request. The papers which copied the Professor Tavlor denvinsr the jruilt of w Ramseur, are requested to publish the petition-letter of the father of the young man stating, and swearing to tlie state ment, that his son was guilty. Av ill they do it ? If they have a particle of honesty left, or a spark of manhood in them, they will. Grant as a Usurper. , We are told that Grant is a military usurper. Here is wh&t The NewYork Tribune said January 17i 18C8 : 1 General Grant's surrender of the office of Secretary of war ad interim, in obedience to the Senate of the United Statesj and the laws of Congress, and in defiance of the known, desire of his commander-in-chief, that he should hold it by military( force in defiance of the civil power, is one of the .most admirable examples of the subordina tion of the military to the civil power which the history of America or of the world af fords. The Magnanimity of Grant. The Confederate soldiers who were at Appomattox have not forgotten the magnanimity of General Grant on that occasion. Only to the Greeley sort, who were not there, is it necessary to commend the following: - J The terms accorded by General Grant were generous and noble. Whatever cause hemay have given to the Southern people at any former period to think harshly of him, he more than atoned for it in this act, and hcy should never forget or cease to appreciate the manly spirit tcith which he refused to take advantage of their distresses and help lessness as so many of his countrymen de manded. General Grant may well be proud of it, for it was the noblest act of his life. ' ' The victors were considerate and generous in all things. They issued food liberally to Vie starving troops of the vanquished army. and carefully refrained from any thing that might seem to insult the fallen greatness which they could but admire.

Courts for like offenses, young Ramseur would have been sen tenced ' to death ; and l nstead . ot tho "farce," of which Professor Taylor com- plains, we should have had a tragedy. But this much abused Judge has re fused to make his Courts tribunals of death for crimes of a political character resulting from the state of revolution through which, the country has passed, . and which were encouraged and pro moted by so many of the 4 leading men of a large section, of our country; so . young Ramseur was permitted to plead guilty to a penitentiary offense, an act of clemency the Judges subsequently supplemented with' a recommendation or the pardon of the young man on the petition of his aged and worthy father; a petition no one can read unmoi and one on which, be it said to his hon or," President Grant decided to act fa- vorably. , ? . : Why then did not Professor Taylor inform himself of all theso facts, if ho was so much interested in procuring the release of his young friend ? Why did he rush into print, when the car of the President of the United States is open to the private appeals' of, every solitary citizen, from the highest to tho lowest?
