Ronents should be hostile to Gen. Grant. This implies that he is so; and as Gen. Grant has shown himself hostile to Mr. Ronents, by having him falsely and alan: Morously assailed ia tho 7¥mes, Hf not other. Wise, it would not be astonishing if a fecl Jng of resentment had been aronsed in the wind of that gentleman. However, we have no other cvidence of such a fact than ts ded by the Times itself, and that ts cer. nly not very good. But without assum- \ng to know whether the sentiment of Mr. Ronents is actually hostilo to Gen. Quant pr not, there are plenty of reagons, and ‘Piong reasons, why it onght to be, and why tvery other good Republican, and every good Bitten ofevery party, should share the same Yeeling of hostility. Some of these rensons we will now give. We say that every rood Re- ‘publican and ovory géod citizen should be hostile to Gen, GnANT a8 President, and as Beandidate for the Republican nomination J 1872— / 1 Because he bas destroyed his own hon- rable fame as a patriotic and able soldier by the incapacity, folly, and corraption of his civil administration, Hi, Because he has appointed men like A. %.

HorrMan signed last winter, and which the 7ribune has so vehemently denounced. But why should Congress be called to char ter a life insurance company, when the general laws of so many States of the Union are amply sufficient for the purpose ? Do the Zribune people desire to escape the wholsme restrictions which the laws of our State place up*a sich companics for the safe ty of those dealing wict them ? It looks very mueh Like it If Messrs. Rawspriy, Sixciam, PLEAsoN TON, and their nesoviates want to go into the life insurance business in an honest and hon ormble manner, they need not take the trouble to get an act of incorporation from the United States, From the fact that they take this course, we are forced to conclude that the whole thing is a bubble, blown up as a means of raising money for somebody who wants more of it than he knows how to get by honest industry. Congress ought not to ve seduced into approving any such project. Ifa bill of this character should be passed, and if any poor people should be awindied by @ishonest managers of the proposed corporn- tion, the members of Congress who vote for the thing will be morally responsible for the swindle. It is none of the business of Con- gross to establish such corporations, eee The Congrsestonal Subsidy Noatsance. The Business of begging from Coiqqresa subsidies of land and money, In ald of rail. roads and other enterprises, is gotting to be @ prodigions nuisance. The success of the various Pacific Railroad Companies in ob- taining assistance of this kind seems to have driven wild with excitement tho greedy army of adventurers which, in this country aa in every other, always stand ready to prey apon the industrious massea, Wo have here tofore exposed @ number of the schemes of these gentry, and now we have to exposes another. A concern which calla itself the Portland, Rutland, Oswego and Chicago Railroad Company, and which proposes to build a railroad ail the way from Portland, Me., to Chicago, M1, and as much farther as it can get means to go, coolly asks for a contract with the Post Office Department for carrying the mails, and then for a subsidy of $50,000 per mile for every milo of its road, in eix per bonds of tho United States! Aa the total length of the line would be about 1,200 miles, the whole amount of tho subsidy would be $30,000,000! It is trac that ¢ proposition contemplates the ul ate pay ment by the railroad company of tho bonds and the interest on them, but no security is upon cent to be given for this payment, except the right to take possession of the road by the United States in case of default Reduced to its essence, the scheme is sim ply that the United States shall lend to a comp of speculat $60,000,000 with which to build a railroad so little likely to reuiuucrative that private capitalists will bave nothing to do with It. If, by chance, it should be successful, the syecula- tors have the option of taking it at cost. If it should fail, they step out, and leave the United States to run the road or take ap the rails and sell them for old iron, as inay be found to be most advantageous. It may evon be that the road will not cost the $50,000 per m le to be allowed, and in that case the com. pany will be able to divide the surpins among its members without being liaule for its return! ‘The bare statement of the character of this posal to rol) the national Trens to be enough to insure its defeat. oeentative or Scuator who votes for st will do go at the peril of belag forever aiter rightfully suspected of corruption, and nom/{niously compelled to retire ny m pub lic life. Modern Preachers. It has become quite tho fashion lately to leery the present raco of preachera, With hat disposition to cxalt the unknown at the of the known, which bas always lxen @ characteristic of human nature, peo- ple lament that the pulpit has degenerated, and that the eloquent oratory which used to distingnish it has given place to a feeble and onotonons dullness, relicved only, hero and 0, by flashes of sensationalism, which, Meusive in themae]ves, muke the surround. mediocrity only moro pamfully visible, The public, & is said, are rapidly getting weary of golmg to church, except for devo. zal purposes, because, when they get there, they hear nothing which repays them for their troulia, Tt may be, and perhaps ts the fact, that listening to preaching us an entertainment ie not so much in vogue asit once was; and it may be, too, that the preachers are not 60 good as they used to be Some influence, moreover, must be attributed to the growing mpationce of hearers with the ideas which ng to a past generation, but which all the clergy have not the tact to percefve aro obsolete and distasteful Cortain it is that wrmons of men like Epwaxps and Hor. , which onea wero read aa enger- ly es they were listencd to, are no longer to be found in print, and their repn 5 a matter of tradition, But expense hat we #till have some preachers equal to the demands of the times, and who, if not so famous, ars quite as useful as vent prodece intelligent « 5, {8 a point y urch-goers are quite ready to maintain against all opponents, What is specially required in a modern preacher !s good sound s "The day has gone by whoa sonorous but empty words, vorgeous imagery, and fervid appeals to the exnotions could satisfy tho epiritin! wants of church goers They insensiblly and frrestatibly prt wimt (hey hear to tho tout of rearou ; and ifthat tribunal condemns it, they Gismies {9 oo worthlesa Tho wonderful progress which ectonce has made during tho past few years has not been without its effect upoa religion Now that eo many mysteries im the reaim of nature have been oxplafwed, do inquiry te for similar explana oma ig meonrd tyenititan) things ; aud the nome aaron mremsneeteebenes croreeeigier ne! rele preacher who can best answer this inquiry, without attacking or seeming to attack cherished principles of faith, is the one who pleases best. Besides, there is a keener per: ception abroad of men’s moral qualities When a preacher stands up to address an by as audience, they a sort his sincerity of imperceptible mesmerismn, it were, and respect or contemn him according to the result. He must be that which he recommends his hearers to be, or else he speaks through a cloud of manifest inconsistency, which deprives him of th power to move their minds, A great pulpit orator for this gen ion must therefore be eminently wise and learned as well as eloquent, and good as well ag intellectually strong. He must be able to meet and answer honest doubters, not with the bludgeon of authority, Sut with the per- suasive keenness of soundargument. And his personal influence of example must come to his assistance to impress on {the heart those prevepte which bis preaching forces upon the intellect How many‘euch proachers wo l:-ve among y one must judge from his own experi.

Brexot, Chairman of the Board of Indian Commissioners, in a letter to the Pittsbargh Commercial, comes to the support of Prestient Gnaxt to relation to the frauds which have been umearthed tn the Indian Department. The well-meaning but somewhat eredulous © missionor is very sure that the President is de. termined to tolerate in office no one whose in- tegrity could be impeached; and he thinks that the degree of self-saerifice involved in the act of taking the Indiap appointments fron politics and giving thom into the hands of religious societies is something admirable and extraordinary. W it i» considered that the appointments which President Grant so magnanimously relinquished were non-salaried ones, and that all power to control the purchase and transportation of sup. plies for the Indians was in defiance of law with- drawo from the Commissioners and placed in quarters where the most infamons ewiadling is ged to have occurred, the self-denial of the transaction docs not seem so apparent, Indeed, various facts that have transpired in conneetion en with Graxt's much vaunted Indian policy are catew to induce the suspicion that the pretence of philanthropy bas afforded » cloak to somebody for the perpetration of outrageous he Govern frauds upon the Tudians and upor eur, sieiseeeceamimmcaeses Gen, Better, who when he practised tn the criminal courts of Massachnsetta was noted for Lis overbearing manner toward witnessos, caught a Tarter in bis cross-examination of Col Wero 8 witness in the investigation before the House Militery Committee of Gen, Borzer's management of the National Soldier’ and Sail- rv’ Fund, In reply to an insinnation gy Gen, Boriun, the witness ts said to have calmly re- marked: ‘Gen, Berner, I have beet drunk just you Rava, aud when drank may have said things Ido not remember—jast as yon have.” Geu.

The holy city, Which the panimist described ae venutifal for situ ution, the joy of the whole earth,” bad become of the most unhealthy places in world; 1d tie chiof reasons assicned for this change were the bad quality of the water and the exbalations from th slow decay of a mass of rubbish in ti anid ravines whieb bad been accumulating for cen! uric» This mass of rabbish was AO great that It was hardly possible to do anytiing with it; bat th question of water was easter to manazo, and various schemes were proposed for tinproving the supply, cither bs repsiring the anclentaqueducts or making now ones and forming additional pools and cisterns.
