With- rt at fine writing, it expresses the # of its author in @ manner which tt will everywhere warmly appre There is no disguise or hesita- tion alout any of the opinions it forth. Gen. Guant says that he will always have a policy to recommend, bat never to enforce against the will of the people. Laws that be*doce not approve, or that may be passed over his veto, will be faithfully executed. The public honor should be jealously main. tained, and the debt of the country should be paid in gold, unless otherwise expressly Stipulated in tke contract. The revenue mast be honestly collected, and the greatest practicable retrenchment must be practised Inevery department. Toward foreign powers we sliould bear ourselves a8 justice requires Individuals to deal with each other; but if ther nations depart from this equitable rule Yn dealing with ue, we may have to pay them te theiz own coin. In the treatment of the Indians, the Prosident will favor any course tending to Christianize and elvilize them, and make them citizens. The rutification of the Fifteenth Amendment he urgently recom mends as the Lost practicable mode of ending: the suilrage agitation. Buch is the substance of thie unique ad dress, It will be universally mggarded forming an auspicious beginning of President @aant's Administration, Ite emphatic ap- proval of the fifteenth amendment shows that its anthor feels the importance of bring- Ing to a final settlement the last of thowe long standing questions which have remained to us ass legacy from the period of our his- tory now concluded. That done, the country Will be ready to enter upon a new epoch of tts development. For that epoch the Presi- dent lays down a guiding principle, without which the nation cannot be prosperous, or powerful, or respected in the world. It is tho principle of honor. Pay all your debts to the attermost farthing. The uation which can be accused of even a desire to defraud its treditors cannot oceupy such a place on the woge of humanity as the United States as- pire to fill. In aceordance with this great rule of con- duct, tho new Administration will aim first of all at the honest and thorough collection ef the public revenues, and at their fuithful And ceonomical disbursement, None but honest men will be appointed to office. Thin of itself is a promise of a new condition of things. If Gen. Grant can succeed in the performance of these pledges, he will cover hie civil career with a renown superior to all that he has gained in war, and will con, fer upon his country benefits of priceless worth that will form a fitting sequel and tounterpart to his great services as a soldier, We are well aware that it is difficult for Any man, however great his talents or zeal- cus and noble his purpose, to fulfil all the expectations with which the people look for Administration now commenced, Bat we are confident that as Guanr hos hitherto succeeded in every task imposed upon him, he will not fail even inthis last trial, That it is greater than any other work he has yet attempted is evident; but, in ac- tordance with the closing sentiment of his address, let us devoutly hope that the Provi- +@ence of Almighty God may grant us that happy gonsummation which all sincere pa- triots must ardently desire. The Prosecution of the Whiskey Swine dlers. Much surpriso has been felt and expressed fa various quarters at the apparently unac- countable delays which have been suffered to occur in this distnet in the prosecution of persons charge’ ‘ith violations of the laws relating to the ()»\ ilation and sale of whis- key. Tt was only after repeated and long pAsouriments that BLaispert, Ecxen, and their ecogmplice were brought to trial and nomvievad of on viience, the evidence of which, from the first, was overwhelming.

It te not enough to | isn tnt Janes Hannan QT i proof must Len, but Jawes Bnooxs, of this city, — The probability of any considerable modi- fication of the Metropolitan Excise law by tho present Legislature is very small. In fact, we may say there 4s no probability of it at all. Itis possible that there may be a change in favor of lower rates for certain kinds of licenses, and of keeping shops open till one o'clock at night, but nothing to relax the Sunday clause, so that beer and wine may be bought on that day. Of course this will not satisfy the Germans, but it will delight the Democratic politicians, If they had the power to determine the policy of the Republicans upon the excise question, they would doubtless settle it Just as the Republicans them. ves are disposed to do. The Reape libel suit has terminated, as we predicted, fu a verdict for nominal damages in favor of the plaintiff. ‘This is @ judicial decision that ith Gount’ is not an obscene work, as was charged in the libel complained of; for, if the defendants could hare proved the truth of their allegation respecting the bad character of the book, the verdict would have been for them entirely, Mr, Rea therefore, comes out of the conflict vietorious on the only point, we believe, in which he was really interested ; while the de- fondants have escaped the pecuniary penalty with which they were threatened.

Why do 60 many criminals ereape arrest and punishment?

AN BFFORT TO ODTAIN POSSESSION OF TiTR RVI- DENCES OF HERMAN'S INDEBTEDNESS. A reporter of Tum Sun was present while Mr Shearman recorded, in a large ledger, many leaves of which were soon covered, nes of Folders who had been defrauded by Col. Herman, Mr. Shearman, who ts an English gentieman, and who Profenses to take a personal interest in the soldiers’ welfare, quietly sat at his desk, and asked every ap- plicant hie name, the ¢ompany and name of his regl- ment, and bis address, A chair next him was Giled with hundreds of discharges which the vietima of Herman had evtrusted to him as guarantees that they were entitled to the bounties they claimed, and all these dischargon = had passed — through the offices in Washington, and becn sent buck to the Colonel, who hed obtained the bounties inthe army, Theso certifiestes are the only © denee of Herman's indebtedness to the soldiers whont windied, and these are what Svearman tried to | get from every suldier that entered his place. But{n the majority if mot all of the instances, Shearman failed t ain these jeates, Whenever en applicant asked him to return bis disehorge after it had been taken from the file on the clair, he remark+ ed: “You know I dou't know you, and I can't five you this discharge, hand of the Court. T SOLDIERS’ NEWARR. It shonld be here remarked that our reporter eub- sequently ascertained that Mr, Shearman haw ree ceived no official authority to represent the United otates Courts inthe roldiers’ bounty fronds, and as Wis conduct reems very suspicious, to way the least, we here enution the soldiers to keep their evidene of Herman's frauds in their own possession. WHO 18 DRIUND THIS SITAMEFCL FRAUD? Fach ditcharge was, of courro, numbered, and Hermann bad piven to the #oldiers papers showing that they were the persons «ho had appointed him to make’ the necessory arrangements to have thelr claims paid, and his victims have these certificates in thelr possession, Whenever aa applicant appenr- ed before Mr, Shearman yesterday, he refused fo give the milifary dischargehe claimed to have received for hie sercices during the Inte wor, ‘Thew he wrote down the name of every applicant, remarking to eaeb, You will be sent for in six weekey and the But itis sale~ if de in We | Government will pay you." In some tostances he added facetiously, “If you should change your re dence in the mean time you will please to notify us INTERVIEW WITH THK ASSISTANT TREASURED, While this seene was being enacted, various meet- ings of soldiers were held in the hail outaide, at one Of which © veterem embibited « printed letter from Mr, Brice, the Paymaster General. stating that all bounties were payable to the claimants, and that in ense the money was paid onan indorsement made without the authority of the claimant wabsequent to the cheek, the Assistant Treasurer of this city would be liable for the amoanta, ‘The reading of this com- munication created considerable excitement among the veterans, who reee'ved It as the only crumb of comfort thrown outto them ia their distress, To learn whether the Paymaster General had told the exnct truth, our representative called upon Mr. Van Dyke, the Assistant Treasorer, at his oMice, and axked that gentieman whether he considered himaelf Mable to pay the bounties collected by Herman and other ewindlers under these cireumstunees narrated above, Mr, Van Dyke at once replied in the negative, He said that on inves tigation whien had been made had shown that Her- man l other bounty agente had collected the amounts due the soldiers, by virtue of the power of attorney with witen they had invested him by signing certain papers to that effeet, and that he had endorsed the cheeks In pursmance of that authority, ‘Our reporter then remarked to the Sub-Treasurer that the act of Congress provided that the power to colleet the money or not in the soldier's name should be given subsequent to the eheck, and that the powers of attorney given to Herman were dated defore that time, or at the time when the claims were presented at lis office, Mr, Van Dyke, in reply, sald that soldiers, like any other persons, have their remedy at law when checks due them aro cashed on frau- dulent or forged endorsements, put he did not believe that the time at which a power of at- torney could be given could be reasonably defined by Congress, If, he added, 1 should be lable for the Dounties payable on checks with forged eudorse- ments, I could have my remedy against the banks which cashed such cheeks, Herman had probably credit with some of the banks, whieh will account for the facility with which he obtained the money, A BROADWAY LAWYER DEORE COMMISHIONE: nounn, Yesterday afternoon, J.
