The Now York Journal of Coln. marco, commenting on Grant's gr-ss land willful misreprosentation of the South s,4ys An incorrect impression may be derived from the Proesident's Ku Klux ies.age, unle.a its text i carefully -erutinized. The stato of facts there portrayed ii not the existing one. It is a hitory of events reported to have taken place as far back as last Octo. ber ; and it is givenat this late day in response to a House call of the 25th of January. We do not understand ,by thi4 reply was delaved for near ly three. ionthe after it could have been made. Instead of referring to the Ku Klux operations, as investiga ted and ,ct forth by Attorney-Goner. al Akerman six months ago, in the past tense exclusively, the President goes on to say that these combinations embrace at least two.thirds of the active white men of those counties (nine counties are named,) and have tho sympathy and countenance of the majority of the other third ;" that "they are organized and armed ;" "effect their objects by personal vio. lence often extended to unurder," &c., &o. The upshot of all this is that persons not infornied to the contrary, trusting to these statements, would be led to suppose that Ku Klux at. rooi,ies abound in a part of South Carolina. We do not chargo tho President with dasignedly tuisrepresenting the facts, for it often happens in the ha-,te of writing that the present tense get itself subt-titutod for the past. But unwertipulois politician:s, desiring to make strong points for the can piign, will refer to his usieitions as the highest and best evidence that the Ku Klux horrors are even now in full blast at the South, and that she richly de4erves the paitis nnd pen altit of armed occupation antd mar tail law.

The two following anecdotes will serve to illustrate its nature : About a week before the battle of Frer erijksburg-that is to say on or about the Oth of December, 1862 --the weather was for a few days bitterly cold. General Leo and his staff were camping out-as usual in tents-about three miles to the south of the Rappahannock river and the little town of Fredericksburg. There were some members of his staff, who, although young enough to be his sons, were yet more sensible of the cold than their iron chief. To him, as to Hannibal, cold or heat made no difference. Standing round the camp fire upon the morning in question and shivering before each blast of a biting wind, which came from the frozen North, and reminded the sufferere that the thermometer was below zero, more than one member of Gen. Lee's slaff was heard to mutter an aspira lion for a glass of whiskey toddy, or some other alcobolic stimulant. No one noticed that the General took any cognizance, or was even aware of this half-articulate expression of a wish. But presently, emerging from his ten with a stone bottle ordemijohn under his arn, he drew near to the camp fire, and saitr: "Gentlemen, the morning is very cold ; the kindness of a friend enables me to offer you a cordial ; pray bring your tin cups, and taste what I have here." There were one or two on-lookeis who noticed a twinkle in the old soldier's eye, and a lurking smile upuon his mouth, which taught them to anticipato a "sell." But the ma jority (if the Company ha4tily fetched their druiking cups, and stood expec tant, round their chief. The cork wias drawn and the liquor proved to be butter-milk. Upon another occasion two mem bers of his staff sat up late at night, d. -ous,ig a keg of whiky and a pro. b!estj of Algebra Upon meeting one them in the morning, General Lee inquired, as usual, after his health, and he learned, in reply, that the Iember was suffering from a head ache. "Ah, Colonel," remaiked the, man, "I have oft.-n observed thLt when the unknown quantices, x and y, aretepresented by a keg of whis ky a'd a tin cup, the solution of the ohq-rition is usn illy a head.aoho."

It says there are thousands and tens of thousands of Republicans who would not vote for him again, "even though he should be jointly nominated both at Cim cinnati and P'hiladel phi.." The Golden Age adds: "if Grant will not retire, nothing remain. but what Mr. Greeley sty los the Cincinnati Convention and its consequences."
