President Grant's Atlmlnl.tr
»Hr People.
Tbo ripplo of dianoutent (mr
oonsequeut upou tbo disap|M)int
morons applicants for office, having me
bly passed away, tho Administration of
dent Grant is to-day strong in tho couPu
not only of tho Republican party but of tho
whole people. Tho success ot his rc*on^true-
tion policy in Yirgiuia, Mississippi mid Ti-xus,
is no longer problematical; and tho result will
bo the acquisition of those States to the Repub
lican party and to tho Union. This puts au
end to tho wrnuglo in those States over effut
issues, funned to the surface by the defection
and obstinacy of Mr. Johnsou, and forms
a nucleus for tho Union party in th<
8011th. A few mouths hence, acting as he
is iu co-operation with Congress, tho Becou
atruction policy of tho Government will lmvi
triumphed iu all tho Southern States; and
thenceforward wo shall have a united
prosperous nationality. This, under all the
circumstances, was a difficult problem; aud
its s itisfactory solution a condition prec lent
to nnythiiig like solid prosperity in tho South.
Hence the Administration deserves well ot
the Southern people; and the indications are
that all moderate and reasonable meu of this
section, regardless of mere parly, will unite
iu their cordial support of the President.
Iu tho North and West, tho Adiniuistratiou
claims the highest commendation in the sig
ual success of the President’s Indian Policy;
and ovideuct* are not wanting, even within
the linos of tho Democratic party, of tho con
stautly increasing popularity of tho Adminis
tration with tho Northern and Western Peo
ple.
Under tho iiuuucial policy of General Grant,
ami the able aud conscientious udiuiuistrati
of tho Treasury Department by Mr. Boutwoll,
the creditors of tho government feci amply
secaro in their property. Tho past seven
months give abundant earnest of tho fulfill
ment of tbo snerod pledges of the Govern
ment to dischargo its obligations thus pro
serving inviolate tho nation’s honor. Even
Democrats are abandoning their unworthy
and treacherous schemes of (indirect) repudi
atiou; for it is u notorious fact that in uo twi
States of the Union are the Democracy unitec 1
upon any well defined financial scheme; and
the more intelligent uud sagacious of their
leaders, aro making basic to modify or abau
don their diverse aud badly digested schemes
for avoiding an honest compliance with the
plighted faith of the nation.
Thus we observe that the Administration of
President Grant is not only re-uniting aud
strengthening the great national Republican
organization, hut it is gradually but surely
undermining the false theories and trencher
ou* schemes of those who, under the spcciom
guise of “Democracy," would plnn-o the nn
tion into bankruptcy and financial dishonor.
It i.s gradually but surely bringing the Gov
eminent back to its pristine unity and great
ness ; and wo confidently predict that cro tho
next three years, few men, even the former
opponents of tho President, cau be found
with sufficient hardihood aud audacity to make
open and undisguised warfare upon nn Ad-
miuistratiou no firmly established iu tho nf-
fcotious of tho People.
Itenioval of the PoatoJttrc.
We have been shown tho authority of Post
master General Ure.swt.ll for the removal of the
Postofflo© to tho largo room on tho first floor
next north of tho Tolegraph office, in Kiw-
ball’n Opera House. Tho removal will take
place as soon as tho room can be fitted up,
and, Irom au inspection of tbo plan, wo can
assure oar readers that it will ho handsomely
aud conveniently arranged for the public. Tho
pupers have all been signed np, and tho re
moval is a fixed fact.
Tho nbove wo find in the Constitution of
yesterday morning, and it is with surprise aud
regret that wo loaru tho determination to re-
0 the Postofficc from tho present location,
which is central and convenient to the whole
city. Tho Kimball Opera IIouso can afford
superb accommodations for tho office ; but it
is greatly removed from tho business centre,
would subject four-fifths of tho business
to an additional walk of not Ickn than
three hundred yards to get their mails. It is
lore than right that business men should
be consulted in regard to the location of tho
Post cilice, and wo aro but uttering their
wishe s when we urge its non-removal.
We hope Postmaster General Crcswell will
voke the authority for its removal, at hast,
until a showing can ho made which wu arc
rc will satisfy him that the present h
best location it can havo. Tho close proximi
ty of the Eba office to tho Postoffice has noth
ing to do with our opinions in this nmltor.—
Tho building wo occupy is in litigation, and
wo do not know how long wo will ho aide to
it. Wo simply speak for tho people, and utter
their sentiments in opposing tho rc-movi
tlm postoffico.
Louuvolu, Saturday, Oft. 9, 1809.
As might very naturally b© expocted, Louis-
vill© is *11 aglow with tb© excitement of prop*
aratiou lor tuo Convention next week. Tb*
Mayor and General Council, together with
Committees of merchants and others, *re at
work day and night, perfecting arrangement*
for one of tho most brilliant events in the
history of this growing and beautiful oitv.—
The ladies, even, have caught tho infection,
and aro as much interested in discussing tho
“Convention"os though it wore tho “last now
bouuet," or a forthcoming opera.
Guo thing is certain, a lavish use of money
and an iniiueuse amount of talk and toil are
being directed to a perfect completion of all
the details necessary to tho comfortable en
tertainment of all the delegates and a profita
ble aud pleasant meeting of the Convention.
The room selected tor holding tho Conven
tion is the elegant uud spacious auditorium
of the Louisville Opera House. This is one
of tho most bountiful Hulls in tho Houtb, and
as prepared for this occasion, with its magnif
icent display of decorations, it will be splen
didly brilliant. It is largo enough to uccom-
moduto aii immense number of delegates, be
side* admitting a largo conconrso of specta
tors.
Arrangements are ho minute and so thorough
ly understood that there is not likely to be a
bulk Irom bogiuuiug to end. I bavo seen tbo
badges prepared for tho dolomites. Thoro is
a groat variety of them, designed to desig
nate the various delegates. For instance:
For tho Committee of Arrangements ap
pointed by Memphis Convention, rod aud
white rosottes with blue and white streamers.
For tho General Committee of Louisvillo,
Mayor Bonce, Chairman, blue and white
rosettes with red streamers.
For tho Governors, Senators, member
Gongres* and delegates appointed by States,
white rosettes with bluo and red streamers.
For delegates appointed by citios, bluo
rosette* with white strcftiueis.
For corporation delegates, or ^tlioso from
Boards of Trade, led or magenta rosett
white streamers.
Members of the press, red streamers,
llonorury members, white streamers.
Reporter*, page* ami poll**, red n settee
with blue streamers.
The streamers used all bear tho coat-of-
arms of Kentucky and the motto of that
State— 1 “United wo stand, divided wo fall.”
The delegates and honorary guests will as
soluble at tho Galt House at 10 o’clock on
Tuesday morning, where a procession will be
formed, and headed by a baud of music, will
march to the Opera House, where the Conven
tion will be organized.
But the people of Louisvillo havo prepared
something besides business for those whom
the convention will bring to their city. They
come mainly from old Virginia stock— F. F.
V’s nearly all of them are, and worthy of the
title—and havo left within their voiuh that
strong current of hospitality for which the
people of tho mother Htnte are noted; con
sequently tho delegates arc to have a royal
tertainmout while here.
On Wednesday night they will be treated to
music. There will be a most charming gush
of song and instrumental music, dono up by
Louisville amateurs, and it is safe to predict
that it will do no discredit to the musical tasto
of tho city. This concert is given to the dele
gates, but a limited number of others will bo
admitted.
Thursday there will bo a grand procession
of people representing all the manufacturing
and other interests of Louisville. Both New
Albany and Jeffersonville, I understand, will
join in this demonstration.
Thursday night 1ms boon set apart to Terp
sichore, and a grand ball will bo given at Ma
sonic Temple, by the Widows’ and Orphan
Iloino Association.
Friday night comes the banquet. Tho
thoughts of it are already whetting the appe
tites of tboso who expect to Vie fortunate
enough to get there. Never did tho enamored
Anthony prepare a moro savory banquet for
his inamorata ou the hanks of tho Nile, thau
this will bo, and while old Heliogubalus may
have expended more money in getting up a
“snuck" than this will coHt, ho was never able
to collate the same “feast of reason and flow
of soul" that wo anticipate.
Tho first noted Rbidcnt will transpire on
Monday. Ex-Prt sklent Fillmore will bo he
and will have a public reception in tho Com
moil Pleas Court Boom—whore all who desire
to do so may havo opportunity to shako his
hand.
Governor Bullock is expected to bo here,
dispatch was received from him to-night stat
ing that lie, in company with n number of
Georgia delegates, wouId leave Atlanta, this
evening, on a special train, and would proba
bly arrive in this city to-movvow night about
ten o’clock. Georgia sends seventy-five del
gates, his dispatch also states.
An excursion from this city through several
Eastern cities, is, I understand, projected to
come off immediately after the adjournment
of tho Convention. Governor Bullock, it is
stated, will join it. If so, ho will hardly get
back to Atluntu beforo tho first of November.
Parties who havo not visited Louisville
few years will bo astonished at the remarka
ble growth that has been attained in that time.
It i.s now one of tho most bcautitul of all
Southern cities, with its fino churches, thea
ters and mansions, and its beautiful women.
But of this latter l am not entirely prepared
to speak now, as I have more to say of them
than I now have space to say. Before I close
this series of letters, however, I will pay my
regards to them, as best I can, though I despair
of doiug the. subject matter justice. Silks aud
laces are tho worst things in tho world in
which a man ever became entangled; so I must
attend to business before I expose myself to
tho danger.
I expect to keep your readers posted as best
I can in the rush and roar of excitomont that
is expected to begin with Monday’s sun.

Mr. Editor: A* * failur# to notio* [tb*
lengthy communication of tb* Attorney Gen
eral, appearing as an advaffttsemont in all tb*
Atlanta Dailies this morning, might be false
ly consiraod by those not acquainted with
that goutloman, the indulgence of tho com
munity is asked in s brief response, lie
si*Us “th* first material point of difference
between him and Urn Treasurer arose from
his favoring the Kimball Opera House for
tho Stato Capitol" This is the first intima
tion that 1 have had that bo over had an opin
ion on tho subjeot, or that that opinion was
worth consulting. Ho could havo been
savod of nearly a column of admittlmj of
what uis opinion and my Interest was, bad
he known tho fuot that I owned property im
mediately in front of tho Opom House, on tho
Bn mo street.
Iu his second column of advertising matter,
he states : “Aud it has not been u week since
tho Treasurer promised a claimant iu a small
pox oaso, to pay him if ho could get n war
rant." There is uo truth in this stulcment.
I presume ho refers to tho claim in tho hands
of Esq. Fane, who wiU bear testimony that I
asked for time to investigate tho law, and
gavo it as my opinion, that it did not come
under tho provision by which ho claimed.
This whole advertisement of three columns,
made up of conceit and balderdash, has its
origin in a proposition I submitted, in writing,
to General Terry. Learning that that worthy
officer was anxious to sec, and was bending
bis energies to tho accomplishment of har
mony, and being invitod by two gcutlctmn
high iu tho Republican party, in company
with them, to pay tho General a visit in the
interest of peace, and in that interview having
under discussion tho mattors of difference,
and being anxious to bo relieved somewhat of
responsibilities in the matter of Executive
Warrants, and still conform to law, I submit
ted to General Terry, in writing, tho following
proposition :
If two lawyers, of known integrity, uud ac
knowledged and distinguished legal ability,
give their written opinion, that in questions
os to tho legality of Executive Warrants, the
written opinion of the State’s Attorney Gene
ral is a legal gunruuteo and protection to the
Slato Treasurer, and that tho Treasurer is in
duty bound to conform to said opinion when
thus expressed ; or, in other words, that the
endorsement of tho Attorney General, on the
back of an Executive Warrant, (after the same
is countersigned by tho Comptroller General,)
that the w arrant is legal and drawn on tho
proper fund, relieves tho Stato Treasurer from
tho provisions of paragraph seven, section
ninety-four, so far as tho “ro-payment of such
amounts" is concerned, tho Trcasuror will
pay all Executive Warrants thus endorsed.
I frankly stated to General Terry that the At
torney General, in tho estimation of tho pub
lic, was not regarded as a lawyer of much
ability or experience, and that I desired tho
concurrent written opinion of two, as stated
in tho proposition. This was out of no ill
will to tbo Attorney General, but for my own
protection. When, through tho exertions and
influence of General Terry, differences wero in
tho way of an amicablo sottloment, tho Attor
ney General, through his brother, first made
an attack ou me under tho signature of
“Suavitor,” and continues it in his three
columu advertisement devoted to misrepresen
tation and swelling words of his own impor
tance, comparing himself with Roverdy John
sou and Caleb Cushing, while his fate is that of
the Frog in tho Fable, who by bis vanity
burst at bis efforts at greatness.
