Grant’s Vindication in Dollars and Cents.

There has been much grumbling over General Grant’s appointments, and some of them may have provoked it; but the fact Is not disputed that the currentrevenue, since they were made, shows a large increase over tbe corresponding weeks of last year. Now the taxes have not been increased; our political adversaries say that the country is not prosperous; and it will puzzle any one to account for the increased receipts into the Treasury on any other hypothesis than that of increased efficiency in the collection. We believe the income of the Government since General Grani’a inauguration has exceeded that of the corresponding period of last year by fully five millions of dollars, and that our national debt has been reduced, over and above any reduction expected in the spring months of 1868, by fully tan milliona We submit these facts as a full justification of thachangee made by General Grant. — Net* York Tribune.
