Gen. Grant. — The Democrats are laying the flattering auction to their souls that General Grant will ruin himself politically if he accepts the “Dictatorship” proposed to be conferred upon him by the pending Re construction Bill. That depends, us the Cincinnati Commercial justly remarks, upon the manner in which he performs its duties. We have no fears in the matter. We believe be will show his preeminent fitness for high office in that place just us lie did in the War office, which was also expected to ruin him politically. "REVOLUTIONARY MEASURES-" Mr. Andrew Johnson is reported, in a recent private conversation for the enlight enment of mankind, to have said: “The President is elected directly !>/ the people, and M therefore as direotly their representative* as Congress to." The President is not elected “directly by the people,” but by colleges of electors. And Mr Johnson was not elected President by any body, unless it was Wilke* Booth. Wo oast one of the electoral ballots that made the President in 1864. and wo cer tainly did not cast it for Andrew Johnson, nor with intent to make him President. So hero is one mistake corrected. The President is chosen to cxeonte the laws which Congress enacts. Mr. Johuson is doing his very best to evade, paralyze, nullify the acts of Congress. And this is the sole causo of trouble at the Capital and in the country. If Mr. Johnson would in good faith do the work which pertains to his office, there would l>e no need of amend ing the Reconstruction acts. All that Congress has done at this session or is doing with reference to Reconstruction, is to countervail Mr. Johnson's incessant machinations to circumvert or subvert the laws of the land. The only revolution yet attempted in this country since 1787 was that of tiio Slave holding aristocracy when, in 1860- 61, they attempted to abolish a Federal government based on the principle'that “ nil men are created equal,” and establish instead one based on the countervailing assumption that “this is a White Man’s government,” wherein Blacks are naturally ami properly serfs nnd vassals. Their Vice President, Stephens, in a great speech, claimed that Jefferson’s doctrine was erroneous, and that theirs was the first government in history ever based on the great philosophic truth that men’s rights are naturally un equal. Andrew Johnson—a poor White— took ground against the aristocracy and its revolt, and proclaimed the doctrine, direotly antagonistic to theirs, that “Loyal Men, Black or White, must rule America.” On the strength of that doctrine he was made Vice President'; from that doctrine he has since shamefully apostat’zed. He is now trying to build up that barrier of Inequality and Caste which the Republic, in crushing out the Slaveholders’ Rebellion, levelled with the dust. He is the head centre of the reaction against Loyalty and Liberty, and ought to be its candidate for the next President. We hope he may be. Then, if he gets elected, he may boast of being a representative of the people. Now he rep resents only his own apostasy and most ungrateful treason.— N. 17 Tribune. From the Charleston News.] NEWn FROM LIBERIA. William Rose, the body servant of Gen. Maxcy Gregg, who went to Liberia on the Golconda with Miss Gregg, has lately re turned to his native State, and has furnished us with some interesting facts connected witli that country. He represents Liberia as being capable of producing everything that is used by man, but the enervating climate has prevented the colonists from improving these natural advantages. To bacco, lumber, meat, etc., are imported ex tensively, though the forests abound in the most valuable woods, and the country is capable of producing the finest description of tobacco, while cattle could be raised with ease when once acclimated. At Monrovia, the capital of Liberia, tiie colored mer chants are doing well, their trade extending through Africa. They barter with the natives for palm oil, which is sold to the vessels at from twenty-seven and a half to forty cents per gallon. About two thousand bags of coffee are exported yearly to England, where, indeed, most of the products are sent. Rice, cotton, coffee, and vegetables, are grown to a limited extent, but are used mostly for home consumption—the natives and colo nists gaining a living with such ease that they do not exert themselves. The palm oil is produced from the nuts of the palm tree, which grows luxuriantly, and, as it is easily- manufactured, little care is taken to deveiope the agricultural resources of the country. The climate is not warmer than a summer in South Carolina, but there is no winter, and watermelons, Irish potatoes, and other vegetables, ripen in January. Irish potatoes are first planted from the cut eye, as* in this country, but this growth produces only a small seed about the size of a marble, aud the potato is raised from the vines, much as sweet potatoes and “slips” here. The Colonization Society furnishes each new comer with ten acres of land, a house, and rations for six months, with n doctor and nurse while sick during the time. Labor can bo obtained for from forty to seventy cents per day, and mechanics’ wages arc from SI.OO to 1.50 per day iu Liberian currency. This currency (copper and paper) passes from Cape Palmas to Monrovia, and is very much and predated, being worth about fifty cents on the dollar. It is made in England. The natives have been greatly improved by contact with the colonists and the efforts of the missionaries to instil the doctrines of Christianity have met with some Buccess. Several of tbe natives have “professed reli gion,” and two of them are ministers, one belonging to the Baptist and the other to the Presbyterian denomination. Miss Gregg is teaching the natives at Monrovia, where there is a large mission station. Our informant states that the great drawback to immigration is the African fever, which invariably attacks all strangers, aud few recover unless the greatest care is taken. Once acclimated, the climate has no terrors to the colonist, and if he uses only a moder ate degree of energy he can secure a com fortable support. Many of the older colo nists have acquired considerable wealth by trading with the natives and the vessels that visit the different ports. Most of those who went from South Caralina are doing well, though they generally yield to the influences of the hot climate and become as lazy as the natives. One of the most singular features of the country is the absence of cattle of every description. Horses arc extremely rare, the riding being done in palaquins borne by men, There are also very few persons who raise horned cattle, though frequent attempts have been made to introduce them from abroad, but they are seldom acclimated. Corned beef and pickled pork imported from New York, which with tho rice raised on the spot, constitute the food of the majority cf tbe settlers. Wm. Koso was the body servant of General Gregg, and was with him when killed at the battle of Fredericksburg. He wears the General’s gold watch, which was presented to him as a testimonial of esteem by Miss Gregg. The inner case of the watch hears an inscription stating this fact. Koso went to Liberia with Miss Gregg, but was taken with the African fever, and determined to come back to South Carolina, where ho expects to re main. While be docs not discourage emigration, he lecis confident that only those poasersitig strong constitutions and temperute habits can succeed. Nature has been lavish of her treasures, but they are for the most part neglected, and though the country produces the finest woods, gold, ivory, etc , they will never be exported to any large extent.
