Grant is oiled the military President," the plcutor," and evjry; opprobrious epithet is "beared upon him that-could be uttered against a wan who had betrayed his country and his party. One would suppose, to read the shame-' lets newspapers that support the Liberal cause, that President Grant had abolished Congress; that he JUad overriden the Supreme Court ma jjc u.vi khimh ii aMbtsnce or advice of a Cabinet, and that he made and wecuted laws regardless of tho will of the people. Of course all this loose talk the merest balderdash of dishonest politician and more dishonest newspapers. Of course tbey know when they utter wd write' it that they an grossly misrepresenting the President; and tl they had ordinary good sense they would be conscious that such wild misrepresentation are an insult to their readers. That there is nothing in the history of the pres- cnt Administration to indicate that its head has ever been a military man, Is as weQ known to its detractors as it is to the people generally; tnl the endless harping upon this one string is the best evidence in the workl of the utter poverty of the political stock-in-trade of the Liberals.

When Congress placed, in the bands of the President power to declare martial law in the fvoutliern States he waited long before enforcing it, and then only did it in insignificant portions of two States. The moral force alone of the Ku-Klux law proved exceedingly beneficent in quelling disorders, and no just critic of President Grant can fail to admit that his conduct in its enforcement was characterized by extreme moderation; was in fact the act of a cautious and wise civil ruler, determined to keep within the bounds of that true conservatism which should control the civil authority in a rcpubli- can form of government. The slanderers of President Grant cannot point to a single veto by him of any important measure during his administration. They cannot point to a single instance of his exercise of the executive authority in contravention of his pledge made in his inaugural message that he would hare no policy to enforce against the will of the people." They cannot point to a single instance where one of his appointees has been proved guilty of malfeasance or misfeasance in offiee that he has not promptly discharged him from the employ of the Government. They cannot point to a single law of Congress that he has not faithfully executed, whether it corresponded with his personal views or otherwise.

The charge that President Grant has made the Government a personal one is as unfounded aa tins Other. The charge that he has appointed rela tires and friends to office is trivial, and the con elusive answer to it is, that in every instance where such appointee have proved unf aithfu or inefficient they have been promptly removed. The grand charge which is repeated every day in almost aU the Liberal journals, that the nego tiations for the annexation of San Domingo constituted an usurpation of power is not sustained by, the facts; and his remanding of the whole question to Congress, without making a single effort to influence the action of that body, was a striking evidence of his fidelity to his original pledge, that he would have "no policy to enforce against the will of the people." A careful review of the history of President Grant's administration leaves the Liberals no ground to stand upon. Tbey are reduced to pure personalities, and the disgraceful feature of their opposition consists in the fact that what they falsely charge against the present administration is precisely what they want to accomplish for themselves. The good men who went to Cincinnati, actuated by honest and praiseworthy motives, are gradually but surely gliding away from the movement; and there is at present scarcely anything left of it but bad politicians, who are endeavoring to trade with the Democracy for the Indorsement of Baltimore.

Whether the ma aiiWwtt fatlala 11 v. i.i in ififtuuij If It succeeds Mr. Greeley will have nothing but Democratic support. If it fails he will be driven from tbe canvass in disgrace. REVIVAL OFbciTRBviTxG TRADE.

We notice with much gratification a perceptible revival of our ocean carrying trade. In Pennsylvania and Delaware iron steamers are being constructed to a large extent, both for the borne and foreign trade. The demand for vessels to convey coal to tbe Middle and Eastern State la notably large. One corporation is building no less than fifteen iron colliers on the Delaware, Abroad there has arisen a demand for wooden sailing ships. This class of vessels bad been almost driven from the sea by iron ships and steamers.

It was, at one period, mppoaed that the carrying trade to Australia and around the cape to India would fall into the bands of great companies running iron steamers. xut uus naa provou a delusion. The passenger and light goods traffic between Great Britain and India and Australia sow goes by the way of tbe Suez canal. The subsidized mail steamers have secured it be-. yood perad venture.

But there still 'remain the emigrant and bulky merchandise traffic to Australia and the heavy goods traffic to India. The attempt to convey these by steam round the cape has proved a failure. The line established between Liverpool and Bombay, some years since, consisting of the Jason, Golden Fleece, and other large steamships, has been withdraws and its' place taken by sailing clippers. To Australia a few steamships still run laeoo- section with lines of sailing Teasels. But the Vpyag la too lengthy to pay.

It consumes too much coal, and, once out of sight of England, that article becomes too costly, especially on voyages tbe profits upon which are princl-. pally derived from the transportation of such bulky merchandise as cotton, wheat, wool and bides. Besides, the Australian and New Zea-land gold Is now transported by the F-nrj'afr mail steamers. Strange to say, tbe influence elect potent at preeent in the revival of our American carrying trade Is the unprecedented advance in the Price Of bom' This ia artnaHv ami tnmln. Ud from iron to wooden sbipt; and rery toatertafly enhancing the value of Us latter.

anen. too. th v. over tea per cent, to the value of labor UEngland ami fad to the building ot ackus of i inferior in quality, as regard. eonrnctioo and material, to these originally turad out of the ship-yards.

If, as probable, the growing scarcity of metals, and the determination of the working classes of Europe to obtain higher wages, shall continue, it would not be at all strange if the wooden skips of the United States and the British provinces would again come largely into use. For the strikes and lock-outs toEurope we must naturally seek for compensating effects America, Wibere the raw materials are, so abundant and cheap, and where labor-savrng triachlnery can be made to counterbalance our high wages. Tbe demand for iron, whether for ships or railroad and other purposes, not only in England, but in America, Asia, Africa, and Australia, has produced some roost remarkable re-nulls. In these results, as it now turns out, our srnp-builders nd owners sre deeply Interested. And this is simply for the reason that it advances the Talue of their property.

Be-side. tho stlmulnf It must necessarily give to production In all parts of the world, not only of but all that which iron produces, must Intensify this advancing tendency. i The rise of iron, to blcb. we bare bereto-f ore alluded, is certainly remarkable and el-most unprecedented. Pig has advanced 7 to $10 per ton, and.

rails and sheet iron- $15 to $20. The wages of the workers in the metal have been advanced ten per cent. At the same time their hours of work' have been re duced from ten Jto nine. These changes are estimated as equivalent to an advance of twenty per cent, in the cost of labor. In consequence of this enhancement In labor and material the New York MnftHng Lb asserts- that the cost of constructing aa improved propeller, has risen within a year from $135 to $155 per ton.

The ore beds of Wales, of Cleveland, and the Clyde bare not sufficed to supply the inc reused demand, Both ore and coal are scarce. New mine have been opened in Spain, Norway and Sweden, which are, employing a large, ocean tonnage in conveying ore to Great Britain to be smelted. Were our Government to remit' the dutie npon materials which enter into the construction of vessels, or to subsidize steamship lines to ports with which we have now but a limited commerce, we have no 'doubt it would receive its money back in increased profits of trade in general, but especially in. tbe large profits which are made in the ocean carrying tcade. CAKADAAKD THE TBIATT.

The people of Canada are a good deal exercised just now in regard to the acceptance of tbe Washington treaty by the Canadian Government. Two parties have been formed, who wage a violent political war against each other over the matter. Sir John- McDonald, who was a member of tbe Joint High Commission, is strongly in favor of the adoption of the treaty, and pictures in glowing colors the inev. itable consequences that must result to Canada should she refuse to accept the treaty. The Opposition, un the other hand, are as violently antagonistic to its.

ratification, because the claims for damages resulting from the Fenian raids were withdrawn, and also because they claim that American fishenpen have not been. circumscribed in their fishing privileges. The Opposition, of course, claim that Sir John McDonald is little better than a traitor to Canadian interests, while his own faction assert that his defamers are anxious only to excite tbe disgust of the mother country, and by this means' secure an early independence. The Toronto 2Lriil ably represents the Government and staunchly defends Sir John from the calumnies of the Opposition. It asserts that he did defend Canadian rights before the Com mission until an open rupture seemed imminent, and was forced to yield only when it was rather more than delicately intimated that if Canada was so relentless in prosecuting Ai claims, to the hazard of others considered more important, she would be left to determine how much better she could do single-handed against the United States.

The Mini, aftox 'making that 1K crisis has arrived at which the people of the Dominion must de cide whether they will remain as a dependency of Great Britain, asks, How shall it be and gives this answer: There is no sentimentality, no romance, no poetry in Uuwe four words. Tbey are a stern and a startling question, demanding aa answer before another month. The qoestloa arises from and hinges on 'the treaty of Washington. If we accept the treaty, as England aaks us to de. then oar ratare Is leased to her aa has been our past.

If we reject the treaty, toe conee- qaenea wul be God only knows what. England caa no longer treat us as part of the empire. The moment we tear op the parchment, that moment we etrp oot of her honsehold and become aliens. We shall commit a crime against her far more deliberately cruel and lnftniteiy more nnjostiflable than that of t' colonist who fired the first shot of revolt at Lexington Green. It is for the people to say Bow shall It be Let every ciusea, answer for himself, remembering that us acceptance of the treaty is worth more than aU the pyrotechnlcal and tmaUag loyalty ever hoisted or (mint; that his rejection of It 1s so aorelvthe lower.

taw of the Union jack. It la the iswaUea.of the Stan 'adBMpea." 1 We think our Canadiann neighbors have worked themselves into too much of a frenzy in the matter. If the time should ever come when the Canadian provinces would form an integral part of the United States, which does not now seem probable soon, we opine that the people of the Dominion will be as happy, trade and commerce follow their accustomed chan nels as naturally, and the planetary system obey the same general laws as faithfully as if the Stars and Stripes bad not usurped the place so long occupied by the Union Jack on the flag -staff at the citadel of Quebec A joraxaX that has parted its circulation in the middle, as a result of venting its spleen upon President Grant because be refused to appoint its responsible editor to a second-class foreign mission, says: "A journal that parts its name in the middle is so anxious to get a notice from the Tribuno, as an advertisement of its existence, that it deliberately lies concerning our statements, to order, aa it supposes, to compel us to reply. What we did quote from the journal that has parted its circulation in the middle" is as follows: "While th nation was larishing eaormotu re soareee oa the Government for tbe suppression of the rebellion, too little admiatstraUva energy was pot forth, sad ta fact his (Mr. Lincoln's) re-elecUon waa due to the peeea-at-eay-price platform adopted by the Democrats, and to victories won by oar armies long aftrr Lincoln's nomination." Tbe portion of the quotation commencing "in fact" is tbe sentiment of the Tribuiu and it is the gist of the paragraph.

It is an expression to the effect that the people did not re-elect Abraham Lincoln because of confidence to him, but in consequence of the Democratic platform of peace-at-any-price, and of victories' won by Generals to the field to spite or ine want oi energy displayed by him as chief executive. Tbe attempt to transfer its mean Insinuations and direct 'abuse of the memory of Abraham Lincaia to somebody else is characteristic of tbe cowardice of a journal that Utters a falsehood to slander a man long since beyond the power to reply, and that man loved and revered by the American people equally with George Washington. But it is to strict accordance with the nature of th Trtburu to slander dead meai and amongst such it selects, those most widely and deeply respected and loved. On the 23d of February last.it sneered at the memory of Washington, and made light of the celebration of the anniversary of his birth-day.

THE TKIETJWE AID MB.

UXCOL1T, The Chicago TVAvm is easily throws off Us balance of 1 late. It says of Judge- Stanley Mattthewsj "We expect to see him continue backing until be gets far enough awsy from the present to continence voting for Gen. Jackson, or making speeches ia support of the Declaration of Independence and the right to throw tea overboard. Since tbe TrBmn baa become the organ of the rebel Deuiocraey it considers it a sacred duty to bate tbe Declaration of Independence; and as the throwing of tea overboard to Boston harbor was a step toward the freedom of the Colonies, it feels bound to attack that also, A good many Northern Democrats are becoming more mod erate in their-. views of tbe late wart but tbe untune, Deing a new convert, seems to nave joined, party of reaction on the basis of 1884, when Democracy declared the war a failure.

Accordingly it sneers at the memory'of Abraham Lincoln, calls the arrest and confinement of Jeff. Davis a petty national disgrace," and snarls at the Declaration of Independence. The 's always was very' untrustworthy as an organ- of It will be equally slT as an organ of Mr. Greeley and the rebel Democracy. If it can rule the party, aU right otherwise it will seek to ruin it 'Tux fact that two' such prominent Demo cratic Joaraala aa the York WorU a the Brooklyn Eaoit are.

qaarreling over Hot ace Creator. shows that- there is a decided difference of opinion among Democrat to the advlaablUty of tndontag Us noadaatioa at the Baltimore Convention. The Worid claims that after eaergeU wire-palling Is the effort to send Gree ley delegates to the New Tork Deauxrstle Convention at Rochester, that coaveatloa failed tolnstract for the "Liberal" ticket, and adds: --Trom this day forth Grteley stock will decline, aad by th tiaae the Baltt. more Convention meets, his nomination as the Democratic candidate will be deemed as preposterous as very Democrat In the tend would hare anhesttatingly declared it three weeks ago." Tbe EaoU claims, oa the ether hand, that the In dorsement of Hz. Greeley at Baltimore Is beyond doubt, and that the New Tork ConvenUoa expressed itself, to all intents and parposes, as faroring it.

The langnaga of that convention at least mast have been somewhat ambigaoas if two sack widely different meanings can be tortured out of It. Bat, outside of the New Tork eq Babble, we Sad such prominent Democrats as the following enrolled against Greeley: Hancock, Hendricks, Pendleton, Voorhees, Kerr, Black, McCraery, and the list might be continued farther. Each one of these men represents a large class of voters who can not be whipped into the bargain and sale which some of the Democratic leaders weald force npoa their party. It la safe to suppose at the most moderate estimate that at least twenty-dve per cent, of the Democracy will not vots for Greeley, even if the disgraceful coalition la consummated at the National Convention. Without these votes his election Is hopeless.

It Is not at all improbable that those Democrats who svor him now win take this view of the matter, and finding It impossible to prevent the continuance of Republican aaceodeacy, will conclude that It would be unwise to farther destroy Democratic organization when nothing is to be gained by it, and when the convention meets will refuse to disrupt their own party, aa they must If Greeley Is indorsed. Thi demand for popular, and In many eases those who may be properly designated sensational clergymen, at the last. Is getiinc to be os of the peculiar features of the age. They are actually being competed for as if they were star-actors or great operatic performers. A case in point ass been the subject of comment In the Brooklyn papers.

The Rev. Ma Gallagher is a popular Baptist preacher of that dty. He has been la the receipt of $5,000 per annum. Bat a had speculator In Elizabeth, New Jersey, conceived ths Ides of adding the reverend gentleman to the other attractions of that suburban retreat. Ha accordingly visited him at his parsonage, and In spite of every pre-canUon slipped Into his study.

Whether this wss a rase does not folly appear.

By the way, ths Rev.

Mr. Gallagher was formerly a resident of this State, having preached at Qaincy, and, we believe, at Springfield, with great acceptability. He la a naUveof tha north of Ireland, and his brother, a very Intelligent gentleman, has long been connected with tha Qulncy WMg. Thus ths Kast has had to com West for two of Its most popular It enticed Beech er and Gallagher away from us. Who will It seduce from aa next, with one of those loud calls which reverend gentlemen find it so hard to resist?

She appears to be making considerable headway In London and other large cLiea ia the advocacy of her reforma From preeent appearaacea should Judge that some of the medical Institutions would yield to her demands as the easiest wsy to be rid of ths annoyance the reformers are causing them.

It matters little what may be the exciting cause that brings about such a result, provided It be accomplished, and should the British medical institutions be opened for th education of women as physicians, the native priieper-tty would not suffer to the probable extent feared by he learned X. of th kingdom. POLITICAL iTOTES; The New York Standard charges that Hor- eca Greeley having B00 photograph of himself atmck off st Pearaall's, oa Fulton street, Brooklyn, for the coining campaign. In a recent interview.sx-Senator Hendricks, of Indiana, refused to commit himself on the political situation, further than to ssy he should stand by ths action of ths National Democratic Convention. whether tt nominated a straight ticket or Indorsed Cincinnati.

I well, remember the sub eeeslve impressions npon a total stranger io to aU parties, "without a ioronal interest to' the denomination, pro duced, by the very first paragraph to the Timet, years ago, headed Astounding De falcation in the Methodist Book Concern," etc -Impressions beginning In griet for aa- nr stain apon th Clirutiaui prof sion. proceeding te-perpjextty- ana re reeding to make out what, wad tbe referred to, and concluding, at a palpable attempt, on its face, to blast the character of Christian men with- exaggerated head-lines and epithets unsupported even by allegation.

And when -the n-earns matter reappeared the next day to the TrOmns, nearly quite revtottm, erery Joarnallst at least knerw that special in fluence ot extraordinary potency was at work to ruin the victim of the hue and cry. For scarcely money itself could procure the copy ing of identical matter from one of those papers Into the other, except as. advertisernen. It has been the same thing over and over ever since "defalcation," fraud," "corruption," and every other term expressive of depravity, constantly employed to characterize such alleged facta aa nepotism in the purchase of paper, or loose disbursements ot wages and perquisites to employes. Judged by the feelings of any unprejudiced and generous mind.

The young gentlemen who vulgarise the airs of the London Tim to at least three different styles and sheets evidently suppose that rmTTDvlsm-becomes something: else In a paper of large circulation. There is a certain simplicity, you know, to the aelf-ecnfidenee of youthful greatness and the awfully Impersonal personages who are accustomed every morninir or every Thursday, a the ease may be. to dictate conclusions for senate, ocrrt nd executive, naturally come to think, after while, that nobody can neip sneezing wnea their noaea tingle, unless he has been 'fragjred' or become very depraved.

Notorious hate, thinly disguised with virtue, demands ot the Conference that a loose and indolent liberality of disbursement to out the wont face noon It shall be Sronounoed willful fraud, for the purpose of estrovlne Dr. Porter and ountahine his friends.

This, if I gather rightly the drift of conversational straws, ia generally understood to be the whole oi the question among the unprejudiced majority who have not been to the fight on either side. The result need no prophet to foretell. If anything, it must be soltened rather than otherwise by the general dmgust at the exaggeration and dictatorial violence that from the first forced a mere question of business methods that was sure to take care of. itself when one opened, wantonly to a world-wide controversy and scandal. thi naxjoTOTje Asmiv-JtsAHins' have been reinforced with fresh and vigorous blood this year, from cumemoal Methodism from Evangelical Unitarianism, to the person ef Mr.

The last named orator is the most sufficient -person to himself that you ever saw en a platform. It is little to say that the embarrassments of aa unfamiliar tongue are nothing to him. No conceivable embarrassment would affect hi ma No- restraints of time, place or presence to limit his absolute liberty.

After hearing and looking at him for half so hour, you begin to think that nothing he could do or say would surprise you; although be say and does everything but what yoa could possibly expect. Hi vitality and personality press so hard for vent, that he seems like a volcano wrenched with internal forces, and belching fitful eruptions of all sorts from the main crater, while spurting and fizzing, crack-line- and rumbling all over at the same time. There are sharp words la plenty and gestures fit enough; but beside all human expression there is also huge horse-play going on that ha nothing in particular to do with the theme or the sentiment, aad seems like the mere wanton exuberance of animal spirits. No lustiest boy blowing off his soul at th moment ot hi release from school could vie with Oavazzi in the variety of articulate noises, whoops, whistles, purls, grunts, growls, roars, jumps, capers, contortions and- grimaces with which he accompanies himself on that infinitely versatile instrument, his body, while making a speech before the American Tract Society, for instance The only thing I can positively say he didn't do was to turn a summersault though, on the other hand, there is nothing to particular 1 ean now positively say he did do. 1 From Italian oratory tt happened to me to pase to Italtea music, from a trained disciple of that school, at the dedication ot Rev.

The same spasmodic rushing and stopping, soaring and diving, kicking, sprawling, trembling and panting, mock pathos and pas-aion, mock fury and exhaustion, everything overdone and nothing genuine, and. In one word, melody totally expelled by phrenay.

I care not what people who call themselves artists or critics may say I dare appeal to the universal reason and heart of man on the proposition that true melody is always rythmical, from the subjection of passion and force to the law of beaaty, and that a hot and passionate whatever power it may nave to excite, can never sway the passions that is, ean never attain high art In oratory, poetry or music until it ceases to be what we call an excitable nature, by having become undisputed master of its own emotions.

J. "The only crime ot which Mr. Cramer Is really guilty Is that of having married a sister of Gen. Urant, Mr. Charles Wolff, a merchant of Cincinnati, a gentleman well known and held In high respect by his telle w-cltUens, whoso word none ean doubt, perfectly Impartial, and one who lus never sought an offloe for himself or his friends, a man of whom the Cincinnati Goae Us' says Whoever knows him win toot to the least doubt that he could never be Influenced to write a line to defense of a man of whose innocence he had not the most positive, is a gentlemaa who, to the Ooertfe, asaerts: Jlrstiv.

That Mr. Cramer waa sp-polafced Minister to tkspenbasrea npon the reocrra meudatioa ot a aiusbsi af areaVttoenen of nign stsnding, among tnemr Ueorge 11. OtnarLof Philadelphia. Mr. Cornell, of New York, and a large number ot citizens ot Cin cinnati, au of tnem vouenmg ior au irreproachable character, and the high respect he had secured during hi residence ta Lei pale as United States Consul, Mr.

Wolff states that Mr. Cramer's recommendations would hare secured tbe positon mnsh earlier had not the President hesitated lest It should be claimed that the appointment was made on account of family tie. "Becondly, Mr. Wolf shows that the various telegrams and pretended extracts from European journals, concerning Mr. Cramer, are utterly without foundation, and are pure fabrications.

That (as Mr. bumner oom plains) be did not permit hirnaelf to be drawn into a street fight on Lei pale, aa, on a certain occasion, he was publicly assaulted, can certainly be but creditable to him. As Consul he stood high in public esteem, and that hi departure waa generally regretted by the citizens is a fact of which we have the most undoubted MA rewards th recent slander concerning his conduct in Copenhagen. Mr. Wolff states that in a letter which he has from a most trustworthy person in that oity, bearing date of March 23, among other matters it is stated Mr.

Cramer, the American Minister, haa never spoken or read a word to the Kuseiaa Ambassador with regard to th Cataoasy affair. The Minister Ambassador at this court most positively asserts that never has anything of the kind occurred as was reported by tbe papers to take place at a dinner In the hotel ef the location. Nor haa the Russian Government ever sent -a note to the Prus sian Government oonoeming Mr. Cramer. Ail these groundless and malicious reports have been Invented to injure Presi dent Grant, aad In revenge for the demand at Washington that Catacazy be recalled, rxroaiiy untrue is tne report tnat the Danish government has expreesed itself dissatisfied with Mr.

Creator. The American Minister move in the Terr best circles in Copenhagen, haa never been seen or heard of as being in improper places, and his general demeanor Is faultless. On publio occasions the srreatest resoeot ia exhibited toward Mr. and Mrs. Cramer.

They appear in good taste, and perfectly in aeoordanee with their position and eircumstan ees. Both axe discreet to their remarks, and on such occasions do not express themselves regarding publio or international affairs." i Much more might be stated, but this tes timony la sufficient. It is high time that the aaoonseionabla He of the press, and the telegraphie associations, eease npoa this matter. Mr. Cramer, In a letter on ether business, just received by the editor, aayas Beyond doubt yon have read the defamatory statement to the papers concerning me.

Ail that 1 tuva to aay about It is that not one word of the. whole la true. Kverythlna- 1 fabricated, and for political Mr. Cramer's Consular district In Germany adjoined my own, and I had frequent oppor tunity or learning now ne atsonargea his duties and bow creditable was his standing with Americans and Germans. During five Tears of consular service and intercourse with my official colleague, I never met or knew of a more emotent or resneetea nitea states Consul than Mr.

Cramer. GlXBKBT WEAIXB. IETTES mOM SPI-OTGriELD. Correspondence of ths utor-Ocesa Spusonsxj, Tn ay IA. Further advices from several leading coun ties to the State which hare not ins true ted their delegates, show very dearly that Gen.

It is understood to political circles that certain German wiU be brought before the State Convention next 'Wednesday for Secretary of State, and the knowing one seem to think thst he will carry the day. As soon as I ean find; out who he is I will advise you. The German Kepublioans want a place upon the ticket, and ft is generally conceded that tnat piece win ne xor secretary or state.
