GRANT, The actlon of tho Sonthern Senators, as well av' Northern Doughfaces, in refusing to take np the bill offered by Senator Logan for the retivement of Gen. Grant Is not only n mean and malimant example of party prejudice, but It s tantamount to an lnsult to the man who led the Union urniles to vietory and to the oficers und men who fought under him, and w wmeuace to all loyal men, who desire to testify their grail- tude to the great soldler of the conntry, It addy to the malielous splrit of those Demo- eratle Senators that thls was not a vote upon the passnge of the bill, but stmply upon the request for consent to take up the bill for disenssion,—mul not even this was aliowerd, Certulnly there 18 nothing so new, or strange In the churacter of this bill that Demacratiec Seantors need to regard it with alurny, or even dislavor, It i3 no unusual thing for natlons to rewnrd thelr groat chivftalns who have won brillian vietorles or performed hnportant serviea for the Stata; on the other hand, they-have promptly aud cagerly conferred honors upon (hem and have been luvish with gifts and wealth, oftenthmes beyond thelr ren] merita. Wollington nmd Nelson were rewarded by the Iingllsh Government with ex- traordinary gifts of meney, with decorutions, with places of honor that entailed no labor and tnrge income, and with many other testi- monluls ot gratitude, And yet thelr vieto- rles only grew out of the settlement of polit- Ieal questions or treaty obllgations that did not involve tho salvation of thelr ¢oun- try, while Gen Gront was fighting for the very existenes of his own, and year after yenr piled up victories ecilpsing those of Wellington, until at, Just be sectred peace, overthrew (raltors and (reason, nnd pre- served the Unton Intact, and saved the coun- try whose ‘arimles he hat- led so gloriously. And now, at this tate day, with the whole country nd its very zenith of prosperity, ei- Joying Unton, lee, liberty, and the pursultof happiness, and & thousand blesslngs It would never haye had hut for him, tho Senate of the United States refnses even to conshder a bl glvigg to him far less thun hils deserts, and not n tithe of what other nntlons luve done for therr distingulshed soldlers, whoso sery- leces wore inconsidernble us compured with thoso of Gen. trant} 'here Is not o featuro of the treatment of Gen, Grant that s nob shnmefu! nits fn- gratiiude. At the close of the War it was possible for him to have remnined in the service as the General of the Army, nnd 1t wonll have been more fn consonunes with his desires {o have held.s position of well- earned und well-palil ease for tho remninder of his life, which would have insured him ngalnst any possibllity of want, The peo- ple, however, denianded that he should re- tire from that oftice, and forced him to necept the Prestdency, which disqualified him from returning to his former post, and whiel, they well know, waus an oftice that must eat up his entlre remuneration, and leavo him withopt menns when e yotired from dt. Such hna been the ense, Gien, Grant left the Dresl- v without any benetit from 18 income. Worse than this, by nil the demnnds of pree- cedent - aml of ' etiquot, the ypeople of thiy country do not wish or expect thelr ox-Cresldents to demenn themselves by engaging in business occupations, unless, perchanee, they are owners of o farm to which they ean retive ns gentlomen, and livo hurural privaey, Could awnything bo more Inconsistent than to force s mun to tako an oflles which ho does not want, abandoning un oftiee which he does want, and for which ha 15 better qualitied than any othor wman 1n the conntry, and when bis thme has oxplred rive him tounderstand that Lo must not en- terupon the pursuits which are necossary for his subsisience? ‘Ihis fnconsistoncy ia fully revognized amd felt by thy people, sl the Seiiate would do well to undorstand {hat {hie conntry will nover bo satisfied until It haaput him baek In the positlon which. be- Tongs of right to him, and which he would have been oceupylig to-day If It hnd not tuken himout of fLand placed hlm n the Prestdeney, The petlon of the Bouthern Urigndiers, hended by such border rufiions ns Vest, of Missour], who has not yet recoverod from his hatred of the man who saved that Stata from seceaslon by killing traltors to the Govern. ment, might - have been , expested, but thia docs not relleve thelr actlon of its meanuess, 15 1t not the hight of ungenerosity on their part, speaking with reforence to {ien, Grant nlone, for them to net In this monner towanls their old conqueror, who treated them ‘so npagnantmousty and courteously? Tooklng atlt from another point of view, is It not minliclous, malignant, and dastardly to treat Bl in this mouner, when theso same unre- constructed Confederates hinve votod to pluco juen upon the retired list who never drew a award or fireda gu |n defense of the Unlun, and, after desperutely struggling to seoure §15,000 of back pay for Fitz Yol Porter, at Inst_sucecederd in placing this ofticer upon ho retired list, who ought to have been shot for his attempts to betray the army which Gen, Grontled? Gen, Logan Is vight in saying that this vote does not end the matter, amd ho §s to bu com- mended for his dutermination to renow his request at the firstopportunity, Nor dies It end it with the people. The Demoeratle Sen- ators may even suceeed in defenting the bill, but they will find that they have only heaped up wrath against themselves when they liave to face this Issne before tho people, They will then discover that it s not alony Itepmblicany who are determined to do Jus- tice by e Grant, but that there are (hou- sands of Demoerats who fought on Grnt's stde and do not share thelr Copperhead ani- mosity nzalnst him, Itis o measnre whicl cnunot be put down. It mny bo deferred now, but it will come v again, and it will continue to, come up, for it represents the wilt of the people, and the people will never be sotisfled nntit jusiieo 13 done to Gen, Grant, Copperliead spito and Rebel malice to he contrary nolwithstanding, CORGRESSIONAL APPORTIONMENT, Tt seems fikely that there will bo o herce, sectlonal and partisan strupgle in the Iouse of Representatives over the new appottions ment under the, censuy of 1850, which may defeat nll agreement npon that subjeet. The responsibility for this conflict, if 1t come, wiil rest, as wsual, upon the Democrats, The Apportlonment bill Intreduced orfeinally by Mr, Cox was probably ns falr o division of Congressional representation among the varfous States ns could possibly have been devised. It fixed the whole number of Rep- resentatives at 0l—an Increaso 6f eight members over the present number. Of this Increase the Southern States would muke a soan of six nnd the Western States . galn ol eight, while there wounlil be o loss of six di- vided equally between the New England States and the Middie States, Upon the basis of the old and vielons sectional division of the country Into North and South, the Iatter would gain six and the former only two, {his giving tho South the advantage. Neves- theless the schieme, as submitted by Mr Cox, was commendable (1) Lecuuse 1t pro- posed only a justifinble Ine ¢ over the present membership of the 1louse, which Is already In fact too darge for the expeditions transaction of publie, business, aud (3) be- causo It reduced the -large unrepresented fractions to the lowest possiblo number, and made them, with possibly one exception, fale and equitalle both to parties and seetions. But Mr. Cox’s bill was too just lo suit the partisan views of o tmjorlly of the Ceusus Committee, and that majorlty has fnstructed him, ns Chairman, lo teport o bilL fixing the total anmber of Representatives ot 11, L whereby the South will have a galn ot twelve members and all the States of the North and West n gain of only six, 'Phis projeet repre- sents tho largest gain the South can possibly make at the expense of the North wuder any practicable avportionment. 1t is not surpris- Ing, therefore, that the Republican minority of the Committee should antagonize this dis~ lonest proposition with another fixing the membership at $19, whereby the gaing will he evenly distributed between the twe see- tions. ‘The apportionment proposed by the Republican members of the Committee, however, Is not 50 partisan and sellish oy tho Democratle scheme; for It were the Republiean purpose to seeure n partisan advantage, it would be proposed to make tho total membership $22, which would give the Nurth nearly as much advantage s the total number of 311 will give tha Sonth, Tho Demoerats further vevenl thelr partismn pur- pose by striking out those sectlons of Mr, Cox's bill which are designed to guarantes equal representatfon to'évery néw State and 10 prevent gerrymandering as far os it 13 pos- sible for Congress 10 control that matter; Tt is atated that Mr, Cox, thongh reporting the bill ugreed upon by the Democratle mu- Jority of hils Committee, witl offer s orig- inal proposition as u substitute.
