The President's Word.

When Um Preaktenl'e teller to Mr. Bonner was published, the general feeling undoubtedly was that it was unnecessary. But, after all, it is very well that there was a quiet denial of the story so eagerly told and so skillfully insinuated of the President's complicity with the late conspiracy in Wall Street The charge baa since been openly made that he was virtually a partner in the shamcfol transactions of the gold clique; and it has become a question of veracity between the President and certain persona of whom it may be saiil dial their characters arc not above suspi cion, nor thejr word as generally accept able as Mr. Stewart’s bond. Indeed, this Is one oi the cases which test the value of character. Tlkto are circumstances which may. require an honest man to do more than admit or deny, and which may authorise him to enter into elaborate explanations. But they do not exist here. Party violence and individual unscrupulousness may assert and hint arfd wonder and deplore, but if General Grant’s simple word is not enough to dispose of this matter in the minds of honest men, no evidence would avail. General Grant has been in hill view of his countrymen for the last seven years. His character is certainly as simple as his services are great. Incessantly and malignantly slandered, as every candidate for the Presidency and every President must be, deliberate falsehood lias not been charged upon him, although it was implied by Andrew Johnson, whom the country thoroughly understands. CahuSpidous, and thestmre careless of appearances, General .Grant is the very man not to consider the interpretation that hostility and malice may place upon the most innocentjactions. Mr. Van Buren. the most accomplished of politicians, would certainly not have made a summer tour like President. Grant’s; and no other President would, qnder the circumstances, have written a letter to Mr. Bonner. But we have no doubt whatever that the popular confidence in the President is not in the least disturbed. On thecontrary, General Grant is stronger in the popular heart today tlian at any time since, his election. A ring of gold gamblers now virtually call hini a liar. Such an allegation from such persons affects the President’s good name as much as an insult offered to a lady hi Broadway by a group of rowdies al a corner, and no more. The Ring may multiply apparent corroborations, they may vary their cry, the newspapers may deprecate and declaim, and announce that “ this is a most damaging array of facts, if the allegations are to be accepted as true;” they may call for “ a better defense” than the President’s word. Defense against what? Against a charge made by persons whose word has no weigh l whatever with the great mass of intelligent and reputable citizens, that, being President of the United States, General Grant, used his knowledge and employed his official authority to make money in a conspiracy. What success could be so sweet, to- tne conspirators as that the President should" attempt a “better defense” than his word in reply to such an assertion ’ Washington was accused of debauching the public conscience. His country believcu it just as much as it Relieves that Grant was an accomplice in the late gold conspiracy, whose designs he is known to have frustrated. — Harper's Weekly.

A Defense of Mr. Seward.

BY REV. H. W. BELLOWS. It certainly was a very original and bold thing for so great and so old a statesman as Mr. Seward) after eight years at the, helm of the State in its stormiest weather, and tnirty years of strenuous, anxious political life, in the Empire State and the nation, to retire from office, not into the repose of his beloved home at Auburn, nor into the soft and open arms of an idle fonign life, as most weary statesmen do, in all countries, but Me undertake, at the natural term -of human life, a trans continental journey of some thousands of miles, and to penetrate the least known portions’of our vast empire. It shows a persistency of purpose, an intensity of interest, a thirst for information, and a desire for usefulness, most creditable to this great servant of the State. It indicates, too, that love of countrv which no ingratitude or forgetfulness of his co temporaries seems to impair. No man alive in America has done as much lor it as Mr. Seward, either at home or abroad. He fought the dragon of slavery hi the Senate, almost single-handed, and slew it with his sword, while others ran off with the reputation of it. He led the Republican party, and was its real front and brains, when Mr. Lincoln was cruelly quit over his head in the nomination at Chicagoan event overruled by a gracious Providence. to our good, but none the less treacherous and ungrateful to Mr. Seward at the time. He bore the disappointment with gay and unmurmuring fortitude, and became Mr. Lincolri’s own chiefest friend and supporter. He stayed in office (bin unpardonable offense !) under Andrew Johnson, for what common sense and charity require us to believe were disinterested motives—to guide the ship of State, and keep the new President, untried but suspected, from wrecking the national vessel; to perfect his own great policy, and reap the fruits of his miraculous skill and toils, in preventing England and France from coming to the aid of the Rebellion at' a period when, for a short time, it had strength enough to imperil our very existence, even when unrecognized and unassisted. And because his calm, far-seeing, passionless mind could not unite in all the liasty, tentative processes of Congress and public opinion, his great, unequalled services were forgotten, and only his independent yet cautious course remembered against him ! No ingratitude like this has’ever before impugned .the justice and discrimination of the American people. If Mr. Seward had weakly desired to bring into contrast the neglect and misappreciation of IjlK own countrymen with the homw and applause of Other nations, he would have gone st raigbt from this place in the American Cabinet to London, Paris, Berlin, where unexampled attentions, profound respect and public admiration have long awaited him, ami wkene the lofty appreciation of his diplonfauc peers would have attestedhisexalted rank as a statesman and his claims on the love and honor of his own country. But Mr. Seward is too wise and too patient a man to take any such hasty revenge upon the insensibility of his cptemporaries. He quietly and securely waits for the smoke and dust of the late awful commotion to subside. His record is made, Iris services have been rendered, and his work is too largely and inextricably wrought in with the history of the last thirty years of. our American life, to make it possible for posterity to overlook it, or, for more than one generation, to misjudge or underrate it. H WM wise in Mr. Seward, in choosing his route (for no statesman can afford to be < more popular in foreign countries than in,' his own) to shun the ovations of England! and the courts of the Continent. Just as, John Bright is too prudent and too jealous’ of his important influence in England, to come to the United States and be borne on, the shoulders of oui democracy from State to State as a Tribune of the people -al triumph which would cost him dear hdme—eo Mr. Seward seeks Alaska, .ad California, and Oregon, distant pdt wof his own-country, as the acene of his la'zori] ous relaxation, instead of offering himself to the homage of the foreign statesmen he| had enlightened or baffled, and the great nations whose fury, be has restrained or turned into mild hesitation snlaavipg

We have not so many great men and great statesmen left in America that we can well afford to cheapen or neglect the greatest of them all. Let the soHtiservices of Mr. Seward in the Senate of the United States be weighed against those of any man who ever sat in it, and- they would not mount in the balance. He ,was tta mouth-piece of the Constitutional enemies of slavery ; their tongue and sword ! Within the strict boundaries of Constitutional obliention he contended against the extension of Slavery, and practically defeated iff and his .great, brave, calm, prudent, consistent speeches On this subject in the Senate, foe twelve years, Toftn the chief. b|dy of the permanent argument and eloquence of the nation against that gigantic Wil. ' . »" » • • • • It is pleasant to see distance doing something of the work of time for our late iTime Minister, (hi the Pacific coast he his received a welcome and enjoyed a favor long, dqqied him on the AUaiUie shore. Tnc pboplc there arc not t mined aMiliticians and Congressmen in all their owics and hatreds, and they have spoken out their natural feeling of admiration and gratitude towards Mr. lancoln's fijend and Mr. Johnson’s check, the pilot tlrough the war, and the great coast guard tint kept England and France from breaking our blockade and coining to the rescue of our enemy. Here in the North and West, our newspapers have long preserved either an omib ous silt nee or a painful cqld shoulder towards Mr. Seward. ]He left his eight years’ post of uncx ampled labor and success at the Helm of the State with as little public notice as the fauancat saijor in our uniform gets on landing from hit cruise. No banquets, no receptions for him in his native State, and the city he had honored by representing in the Senate; no applauding notices of his speeches; no mention of his services. If he had gone over to tjw enemy, which nearly succeeded in assassinating him aabclnfe, with Mr. Lincoln, their most able foe, he could bardly have been more ignored and neglected Wdchoosoto put on record ouy t<<al dissqnt from -this ungrateful, sfliort-sigfiterf and mcaif-spirited courseflriWards Mr. Seward, mid it is all the more a matter of duty and honor because so few irijl be found to agree with us. , ... . .... .

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS. A love of a fan—Fan-nic. A blush —The cream of modesty. Now is the time to insure in the Washington Life. Punch knows a young man so lazy that he will not labor under an impression. A young lady, who has been studying; finance for some time past, wishes to know whether the day rate of gold affects the nitrate of silver. > Tirs Independent says • 11 There is said to be a ragged schoolin London in which, in order to retain the scholars at all, the teachers arc compelled to let them out in time to pick the pockets of the pieople on their way home from church.” A countryman applied to a lawyer for legal advice. After detailing the circumstances of the case, he was asked if he had stated the facts as they had occurred. “Oh, hye, sir,” rejoined he, “ I thought it better io tell you the plain truth ; you can put lies to it yourself.” It is related that a Chinaman in order to cure a sick son, offered up various tilings to a certain wooden idol, and, as the son died the father commenced suit in the court against the idol,* and a judgment of the court Imd the “fellow’s” Jhead cut off.

As the sun in all its splendor was peeping ovar the.eastern hills a newly married pian cKcteumed, “The glory of the world is rising!” His wife, who happened to be getting up at the moment, taking the compliment to herself; simpered, “ What ,would you think, my dear, if 1 had my !new silk gown on ’?” A young lady from the ciouirtry being invited to a party, was told by her city cousin to fix up and put her best foot foreinostgfo sniec w>artch.a beau, “ she looked so green in her country attire.” Tne (Country lass looked comically into the face »f her rather laded relative, and replied., “ better green than withered.” A question of Veracity.—A person meeting with'an acquaintance after a long ■absence, told him that he was surprised to see him, for he hail heard that he was dead. “But,” says the other, “you find the report false.” "Tis hard to determine,” he replies, “ for the man that told me was one whose word I would sooner take than yours." I insure in the Washington Life because .it offers all the advantages offered by .other companies, and in addition this pe(culiar advantage: Dividends non-forfeit-■able by its character. Moreover, in the ('event of non-paynieqt of premium when due on any policy.dliet'bmpany will, without notice from the insured, hold such policy good, so tongas the dividend credited thcreontvill pay the premhmi at the annual rate called for by the policy. The following announcement appeared in the San Francisco Timer? “ The gentleman who took, by mistake, a quantity of I garden hose from a residence on Geary street, fifar Uongii, Is ‘requested by the owner to call and get the nozzle, as the hopeiciin be of no material use without it. Hd win ftnfi it under the kitchen table—if not there, it will be found in the front entrance, and right above it hangs a fine hat.”

Affairs at the White House.

No living man is more successful, while in company, in getting rid of a subject be doesnot choose to converse upon, than General Many a Galenfaii. whfi cafteH bii him .daring his throe month’s stay here, while the Presidential canvass was in progress, can attest this fact While sitting in the parlor, of an evening, with lite family around him, -little Nellie perhapaslttin4 on his knete.and a few neighbors passing the evening’Wftfrtircm. sotnc’ politictan, just arrived on the evening train, would drop in'. ' These hours General Grant devoted to his family and personal friends. They were hours Of relaxation from care and anxiety, and were not to be disturbed "by political debates, or tWnjcPttires as (O‘the Tcsult ol the great contest. Our politician would open out on the prospects jbr the election. No response team General Graft. If tjiq’ poli-ticte-n happehHtfo bjM mtes of katuie, a few more ■frords’rrdm him closed the conversation on that topic. If, on the other hpnd, he was a persistent bore, ha continued till an answer was giYeh, The meaning of which he could pot mistake. Generallv, how’evet, the ’ General’s silence was sufficient evidence to the talker that the was not agreeable. This same course the General is pursuing at the White, IJouse, and it saves him a wotld of annoyance flriun 'polilieiahs. The Wash ington correspondent of the New York Hines says: .. There hevirwas ap administration so completely independent of control by “persons of influence” as the present. There was never time, probably, when the executive mansion was so tree from hangers-on] ana kitchen-cabinet arrangements generally. After 4 o’clock in the afternoon, the building assumes all the appearance of a private residence. The President refuses to see callersoh business in the evening. The-psople who da call pay their respects or spend the evening in the private parlor with the President and Mrs. Grant, and the intercourse on such occasions is never allawed to approach business, save when some public necessity brings a proper pf the De-

partinents or of Congress with a mission the importance of which the President himself Hilly recognize*. A pure atmosphere, inspiring a conviction of honesty and truth, prevails at the White House, and only those who knoW what contamination prevailed under the previous occu. nanl can fully appreciate the change. Never was a Prcsicient more free to do what is best for the country and for the people at large, and never was a president apparently more determined to perform that duty.— Galhut, fU , Gantte.

The Attacks of the Gold Ring on the President and Mrs. Grant.

The fresh assaults of-the gold gamblers and their organs upon General Grant, this time dragging lu Uiqgauie of Mrs.-tyrant, attract renewed attention here, notbnly, for their matter, but for thejr shameless audacity. Nfoone here ever credited fine of these wicked charges, and since the President's plain tetter to Mn Bomgw nbtliing llki suspicion evdn frt* fobrterl. But these new developments SQjm tobave been made with a View to breaking tho'' force of the President’s denial. He needs no defence from such attacks.. The base nttrmpf Io cf)rihO(-t the -HXtftc of Mrs. (Irani with the alleged operations is as vffeked as every other part of the conspir ary. 'Die charge that she wrote to Mr. Corbin the letter ituia which au exliatt purports to Be TriHitr tn AnC of the New Nork papers of to day, is effectually answered by the fact tlmt siMJ never wrote tn tyr. Corbin on any subject, and never Wrote anything so any mcipber of his family that could possib!y : i»e? tortured in snch shape. All statements or assumptions that Corbin or any one else'erer bad or ex'” nrted the slightest influence in deterniin ing in the Pre»deut'g.miiid whether gold diotild ot should not he sold, are, like, all the rest, false without qualification ; and If Mr. C<jrW, or wy one elMtwer nuule any use of the name of the President or ’Mya.- Grant in connection with tflie opcrAflods of any kind,- H whs not cjnly without their consent, but wholly andyt j» bapjiv ' Accessary to again declare tliat neither of them ever had any intoxoet v dirc,clj iadiract, fontingeift or remote,’m any trnnstictions Of the kind, or ever sought to control, adyise or direct* in any such matters,or ever had anything but words of warning against the unscrupulous and designing men whom they saw setting their toils for their unwary friends. The wicked attempts to thus injure the fair name of the President as a man, and the last despicable effort to drag from the sacred privacy of the family circle the name and wcfoiknly tame of,Mrs. Grant, deserve, as they must receive, the universal'exccratton decent people.— WasTtingfOii Dispatch to New York Tinies. ,
