Thia ia significant At leaat on this question there has been a Grant party formed out of the two parties of the Honae. 'We do not sea but that pith reference to the abandonment of other measures that hare been employed to cripple Mr. Johnson the same kind of division may take place. And will not a few of such divisions stamp a dear impression npontha political cha racter of Congress V That just taken place uas upon a question of such import that alone it must go far to settle senti ments and combinations. The friends of Grant mnat feel strongly the opposition of so Urge a number of Radicals to the repeal of the tenure- of-office bill, while Gen. Grant can infer from it nothing leae than that they have by their votes declared a want of confidence in him. In aaying that General Grant will be Presi dent of the United States, I believe I may add that be means to be President of the union of *11 the States, including* thaaa now held under Military govatnment. lie is understood to have expressed himself to thi* .atedtf If General Grant, in pursuance of fhbr deshfe, Were to show a liberal policy towards the now prostrate South, and especially towards Virginia, a party would be formed in tbe South to support him which would be Ttottikable far its strength and har mony. The eoioalled Republican party at the Sonth, estimated by ita present numbers and standing, U as nothing compared to the political organization that might be so formed. The Virginia eummittee are still assiduously engaged in the proaeoutioa of the objects of their mission here.

Tbe political temperature is moderated, the ioe U melting, and spring-time will be followed by summer, I most earnestly lielieve. Whether my hopes are realized in the fullest degree or not, remains to be seen. I advise all to expect not a great deal—they may be dis appointed. But I will eay this, that the pres ence of this Virginia committee in this city now, is highly beneficial to us, and in doing a great dsal to soften bitter feelings, and inculcate kindly relations. They appear just as new pol icies are about to germinate, and new affinities LLOYDS * FOSTER. Now, as regards this matter, we are the cham pion of neither side of the question. We are under no obligations to take either side, except ao far as tbe cause of truth and the public in- |h»rests require it. We must say,- though, that [we think there ia an uncalled-for degree of ex- Mtement on the subject, and apprehensions felt | that are not justified by any peculiar character of the transaction. It was a trade on a gigantic scale, it is true, and somewhat calculated to star tle by its very magnitude; but we doubt if the very serious oonaequences anticipated by some of onr brethren of the press will ever be realized. We are as much opposed to monopoly sa tbe next one, and frankly canoed* that wa would prefer that the great lines of railroad in question should be separate and independent in their in terests and management. But stud, we esenet. say that we see anybody to blame in the trans action. Is Is H the city of Savannah ? Tbe stock was hem, she had a clear right to dispose of it, es pecially as she was in debt, heavily taxed, and Could get a good price for property that was yielding her nothing; and if her citizens are satisfied wo cannot see why others should com plain.

Is the Southwestern or Control Road culpable in tho matter? Upon the legality of the trans action, we have nothing to say, aa we are pre sumed not to havo on opinion that ia worth any thing to the public; Imt it is very clear that if they have no right to bny stocks in other roods, every leading road in Georgia and the Month is in part drlittu. There is probably not one of them that has not invested money in other lines with the view of msMng them tributary to its interests, nor have we ever before seen the, heavens and earth Omni together upoa the hsp^ pening of such transactions. In thia case, it WHS a dear dictate of policy on the part of the (Southwestern end Central to make the trade, and the injunction alleged to have been filed by stockholders of the former does not change the opinion that nineteen-twentieths of the stock holders will vote to confirm it; for it was a good -11 al 1J a mx a WANDO FERTILIZER.
