The President's Complaint Against Gen-
erai vrant
The New York World of yesterday con
tains a Washington letter purporting to give
an account of a conversation between, mem-
bers of the Cabinet at the meeting on the
17th inst., relative to the 'action of General
Grant in connection with his retirement from
the War Office, j Four of j the members are
represented as comparing -notes on this sub
ject, and stating their recollections of what
General Grant said and did previous to and
after giving up his ad interim position. In
view ofy the authoritative ' denials already
made, to the charge that Gen. Grant prom
ised the President his assistance in any form
in preventing the reinstatement of Mr. Stan
ton, we do not deem.it necessary to enter at
length into the consideration of ;the state
ments made by j (the World. Wei may call
attention, however, to one point in this re
port, which exposes the efforts of the Presi
dent to entrap General Grant and use him as
a catspaw with which to pull his chestnuts
out of the fire One of the four Secretaries
in quesiton is reported as using the language:
He (Gfant) said that the discussion '. in
the papers had caused him to look over the
lawand he had found' troubles in the sec
ond and first sections. IJe (Grant) remark
ed that he did not wish t! be subjected to
imprisonment arid fine: when the President
replied- "Why, I told you, General,that I
would take all the imprisonment and pay
all the fines that might; be imposed upon
you." -j - (: !
And again, the President himself is repor
ted as saying :' ' ' j.
On Saturday, wlieu he (Grant) referred to
the teuare of ofhee act, Ii told him that
would take all the imprisonmeet and pay all
the fines that might be imposed upon him
under its provisions. When he arose to
leave the room I jrepeated the remark, for
wanted to know whather or not he intended
to hold on to the'
office, designing to relieve
him if it was his
purpose to yield it.
That a man
confessedly engaged in such
an attempt to cheat another, ;as is disclosed
here, should' complain of other having chea-
ed him is somewhat laughable, -if nothing
worse. The President (assuming him to be
correctly reported), admits that he sought to
inveigle eneral Grant into disobedience to
the Jewholding jout to him the congoling
promise that he would take! upon! himself
thefine and imprisonmee: prescribed as the
p'e nalty of the course h desired him to take
The civil tenure act provides that if the
Senate refuse to concur in the suspension of
anrmcer. "such omcer so suspended shall
forthwith resume: the functions of his ofiice,
and the powers of the person i so performing
its duties in his stead shall cease." Section
5 further provides! that "if ahy person shall
contrary to the prpvisons of this act, accept
any appointment to, or employment in, any
office, or attempt; to hold or exercise any
such office or employment; he shall be deem
ed, and is hereby declared to be, guilty of a
high misdemeanor, and upon trial; and con
viction thereof, he; shall be punished there
for by'a fine not ( exceeding j ten thousand
dollars, or by. imprisonment not exceeding
five years, or both i said punishments in the
discretion of the court." Mr. Johnson does
not issue any official order to General Grant
by which he would redder himself respon
sible for resistance ;to the law, but he gives
1 t l ! ' 1 1 ! A 1 i '.-1 J U
mm nis verDat assurance; mat suouiu ue
(Grant) get into trouble by breaking a law
of his country, then he (Johnson) will step
into his shoes and submit to the fine or im
prisonment, or both, incurred by such action.
Even if the law admitted of any such vicari
ous atonement, one cannot be. surprised that
General Grant should have hesitated to trust
himself to such a frail bark as the Presi
dent's promises. So palpable is the attempt
of the latter to overreach i him, that this
complaint of having been overreached by
him is supremely absurd: The1; simple truth
evidently is that he esteemed General Grant
an inexperienced sprt of man, who could be
readily imposed upon'and, resting" in this
comfortable faith, felt confident1 of the suc
cessful working of his plans. He was dis
appointed, and his disappointment; was
proportioned to his hopes of an jeasy victory.
This is where the shoes pinches. Is it not
that Mr. Johnson has been cheated, but that
he has been handsomely foiled in an elabor
ate attempt to cheat, over which he feels so
sore and about which his i friends make so
much ado. Washington Chronicle, 24th.

Friends and Neighbors : Having just

ty of informing you that on Saturday next I
shall commence the business ot making
.drunkards, paupers, and beggars, for the so
ber, industrions, and respectable portion ot
the community to support. f
I shall deal in "familiar spirits,"
which
excite men to deeds of riot, robbery, and
blood.-and bv so doing diminish the com
forts, augment the expenses, and endanger
the welfare of the community, j I
I will undertake,! at short? notice,1 for a
small sum, and fwith great expedition to
prepare victims for ihe asylums, the poorhou-
ses, the prisons, .and the gallows
. T will furnish an article which will increase
the amount of fatal i accidents, multiply the
number of distressing diseases, and render
those7 which are harmless incurable,
I shall deal in drugs which; will deprive
some of life, many of reason most, of prop
erty, and all of peace ; which will cause fa
thers to'be fiends ; jwivesj widows, children,
orphans, and all, mendicants , ' fx
I will cause the rising generation to grow
up in ignorance, and prove a burden and
nuisance to the nation. t 1
I will cause mothers to forget their suck
ing infants, virgins their priceless innocence,
I will corrupt the ministers of religion, ob
struct the progress of the Gospel, defile the
purty of the Church, and cause temporal,
spiritual, and eternal death ; and if any
should be so impertinent as to ask why I
have the audacity to bring such i accumula
ted misery upon a comparatively happy peo
ple, my honest reply is, Aloney. I

who chose to honor me with their custom.

Europe are of interest. The daily consump-"

dates back to only 1832L In the course of a

only about 110 tons of wood, and ifinasolid

the process is greater than that of the wood
