Gon. Grant’s Patriotic Ssntimont.
Gen S. 15. l>uckner, w ho recently
visited (ten. Grant at Mt. McOrcg
: or. N. Y., has made public a not
lion of the conversation he had with
the distinguished invalid. Gens.
Hacklier and Grant weie classmates
at West 1’oint. fellow soldiers dm ing
■ t he .Mexican war, ami on opposite
.sides doling the late war. Gen
! Grant, now being unable to talk,
' carries on the c<miversation in writ
tig, and w o:e the folio-ving m Me
j and patriotic s< ntiinents. w hich
Gen. Hiieltuer iliinks it his duty to
give u> the public :
•I have witnessed since my siek
ness ju-t what I have wished to see
ever since the war -harmony and
good feeling between the sections. 1
have always contended if then* had
been nobody left but the soldier we
would have had peace in a \ ear
-are the only two that I
know of who do not seem to be sat
isfied on the Sourlhern side. We
have some w ho failed io ac complish
as much as the v wished on the
Southern si le. We have some who
failed to accomplish ns much as they
wished, or who did riot get wanned
up to the right until all was over,
who have not quite full satisfaction.
The great majority loo of those who
did not go into the war have long
since grown tired of the long contro
versy. We may now well look for
ward to a peipctual peace at home
and a National strength that will
sc reen us against any foreign com
plications. I believe myself that
the war was worth all that it cost
us, fearful an that was. Since ii
was live r I have visited every State
in Europe and a number in the East,
and know as I did not before the
value of our institutions."
Another Lie Nailod.
The Jackson Lantern having
charged, for the purpose of injuring
Gov. Lowry, that Hamilton A Hos
kins, Penitentiary Lessees, were he
hind in their settlements with the1
Mate to the amount of $118,260.00.
and that the Governor was directly
responsible for the delinquency, the
Lessees are out in a lengthy card in
the last Ciarion m which they clear
ly prove by official certificates that
the whole story is a malicious fabri
cation, and close by denouncing its
author as “a wanton, malicious and
miserable liar and scoundrel.”
Erroneous.
2. We affirm lliat Prohibition
proposes to deal with the liberty o'
individuals ; that society is forced
to protect itself against, the evils ol
the traffic by its Prohibition.
The above paragraph which we ate
going the rounds ol a portion of the
State pi ess, as a part of the Declara
tion of Principles of the late Prohi
bition Convention, is decidedly mis
leading. In the origiual it reads,
“We affirm that Prohibition does
N'or propose to deal with the liberty ;
of individuals," i to. We believe the
State Ledger is responsible for put
lit g the mistake in circulation.

The Republican* of Virginia have
nominated John S. Wise for Gover
nor, and he declares that, he will go
into the fight to win. The electiou
will he hotly contested, and the sue
oesa of either party is a matter oil
doubt. Owing to the division j
among the white people on the debt
and other local questions, tbe ne-1
groes have been voting in Virginia
aud their voles have been counted
as cast. The suffrage question will !
no doubt be put to a teat iu the!
coming election. Mr. Wise we j
think is a sou of the celebrated Gov- i
tenor Wise, during whose admiuis

WA.sniNGT'N, July 13.—B’lih id

and lias insisted that instead of going
too slow, the numbers of the Cabi
net have liei n going too last in niak
ing changes.
The test ol the article is as fol
I lows :
The President lias called a h ilt
A little over a week ago the order
went out to all the Departments that
•all dismissals an I appointment* to
till places not vacant must cease at
once. A week ago a stop im pet
to all the wink in the appointment
division of tne Tieasui v Dep.-vt meut
and the appointment vlerk was told
that no more coin missions were t <•
be made out on papers considered
until lurtlier orders, and a lot ol
: chanjfes that wore contemplated l>\
him were killed in lluir iiiee;>iion.
Commissioner of Pension* P.iaek
w a* sent lor personally In the Pres
ident and was given to understand
that the otlciisire partisanship cry
had become too ilelilinite in it*
•meaning, and that no more clianga*
tti his otlieial hree wete to imade
until there was a thorough utoloi
standing "it tho siibjei on the part
i ol the President. I lie ie*uit was
: tliat tin1 in ,h . * (or a Mouther ol
chat go* in i!' Pi :i Jo • Mil a- were
1 counter maniiitl and e\ j_\ thing put
! at a standstill.
Tlie l’tesith nt, it is understood,
I then had an tt ndet si sndi ; g with I In
heads ol the Post olliei- :m<l other de
parintent**, d.•daring his police to lie
: to stand by the civil service reform
declarations in Ids letter to (htrlis.
land in Ids address on the lth ol
March, "ibmovals lor cause,” he
! held to me .n that, and not removal
with excuses. The r« suit is that the
axe has been stuck in the block lor
‘the past, wick, and is still there.
How far the thing is to go can he
! merely snrmi.ed. but it is believed
that the President is decidedly in
earnest and docs not. intend that hi
.declaration shall he ignored.
The Star declared that he has
called a halt, and in this way ex
plains the fact that for a neck now
i no charges have been made in the
1 departments here, although many
i had been agreed upon.
ThcC’tiiie savstliat of the mem
hers <d the Cabinet the twoneaie-t
to the President, personally, Messrs
Manning and Whit ncy, are tile most
outspoken in their opposition to Ins
views on this subject, and favor a
policy more i.i accord uith the wish
es and cxpectatio ,s of the large tin
j o tty ol the Democratic party.
They have especially in view now
llie situation of affairs at home,
where there is serious discontent
among the Democratic masses, and
where, unless this feeling is re
moved, the IJepiiiiiicans are likely
to have every thing their own way.
A stmy eoiiloi inaiorv (.f all thissitb
ject comes to the ears of the Times
Democrat coi respondent, tonight
from a highly reliable source. It
was at, the Cabinet meeting on
Thursday last that the subject <f
patronage cane up. Secretary
W liitney spoke of trie situation jo
New York, and ol I lie danger ol per
nutting the state of discontent there
to longer go unrelieved, lie was
prepared, lie said, to make a great
many changes in his depaiimei t
without any loss at all to the (fli
cieticy of the public service, and
with great benefit to the paitv. He
could sec no good reason why he
should not proceed.
Secretary Manning fully agreed
with him, and added that a similar
state of affairs existed in the Tteas- j
itr\ Department.
Seeretaiy Lamar supported the
position taken by thctwoNevv York
ers. whose experience in practical
polities entitled any views they
might express on the subject to the
greatest weight. To the extent ol
securing competent and r> liable men j
for office he yielded to no man, he j
said, as a civil set vice reformer, but
his faith in his party was such that
he was satisfied that the entire 1
government could be fitly officered j
from its ranks, and this being the!
ease he though; that ail places not j
within the purview of the civil set
vice law should be filled as soon in
possible by Democrats.
The President 1 i<tem*«l with grow
ing impatience, and when Mr. La !
mar concluded said with some feel-j
ing : •'Gentlemen, if this admtnis ;
ti nt ion has any standing before this j
country, it. is as the uncompromising!
friend of civil service reform. We;
are all committed to it, and we all i
understand it. I have three times j
inteipreted it, in my IctUr of aeept-j
ante, in my lett to the Civil Ser-}
v ice Helot m Association, and very
pointedly, I thought, in my inaugu
ral address. In each one of those ut
terances 1 distinctly stated that the
offices ought not go as party rewards
and that my policy would lie, not to
use them as such. These pledges I
have b. en faithfully trying to live
up to, and I shall continue in that
line. We are charged with great!
responsibilities, and 1 am sure we
have each of us enough to do in at |
tending to the important public |>
business to make it necessary that}
we put aside, and behind us, this}
clamor about patronage.”
The Cabinet broke up with geuer-!
al leeiing strained. •
