he would have “no policy of Ins own t..

lately worked for tho ratification of the
San Domingo treaty (and. bv tho way. ro-
port soya that h« has probably succeeded
in overcoming the strong opposition of a
large majority of the Senate to that treaty,
livery day bring* us froah statements of
his pointed and unequivocal declarations
of opposition to the (ioorgia bill. The
latest that wo have seen iH the report that
on Monday lust he emphatically reiterated
t > (ion. Logan and othor Congressmen Ins
repugnance to that lull. Wo suppose that
it must bo understood at Washington by
this time that he will veto the bill it the
House passes it in its present shape. If
anybody was decoivcd. by lien, (.rants
modest announcement above quoted, into
the belief that he would be “King Log,
it inu**t have been somebody oblivious of
the history and propensities of military

did move for his expulsion from tho Con

prisonment for crimo. but the Radicals
shielded him, and he was finally expelled
because of Romo remarks derogatory to
