"THE NATION" ON THE USURPATION OF PRESIDENT GRANT. . -Lawies?ness in High Places." r From the Nation.] The Washington correspondent of the Tri? bune remarks, commenting on the French arms affair, that "lt ls said by independent Republicans and Democrats - that there has been all through this administration a grow? ing tendency to disregard law, and conduct the affairs of the government independently ot Its restraints." If the independent Repub? licans and Democrats say this, they say some? thing which, if not wholly true, has a great deal of truth in lt. It may be that lhere has not been on the part of the administration a growing tendency to disregard the law, but there has certainly been a steady tendency. The Government at Washington came ont of | the war with habits of lawlessness contracted, and perhaps unavoidably contracted, during the war. Four years of "military ne? cessity" and suspended habeas corpus and steady denunciation of the courts for real or suspected interference with military opera? tions, no matter how necessary they may be for the successful conduct of those operations and the salvation of the country, play sad havoc both with popular and official respect for that old-fashioned barrier against "short cuts"-the law of the land. There is no use in crying over this. It forms one of the ob? jections to going to war, but it forms also one ol' the inevitable sequelae of war. It furnishes a reason for dreading and refraining from war a? long as possible, but it does not, any more lhan the loss of life or destruction of proper? ly, furnish a reason for not going to war at all under any circumstances, as some Democrats seem to think. But it is Ihe duty of all good citizens when war is over to do what they can to bring officials back to the ancient ways, and revive in everybody's mind as fast as possible that reverence for legal enactments and tudicial decisions without which no political 5 y Bte m has ever lasted or ever can last long. It was the duty of the Republican party, as !he party In power and the party which car? ried on the war, to have addressed itself to his business with even more zeal than to the DUS!ness of paying off the national debt. It ls lard for a candid man to Bay that it did BO. On :he contrary, it l3 very difficult to deny that it ?Dcotiraged the administration to persist in its awless military way of loosing at IIB duties, nie Impeachment trial, a strictly legal pro? ceeding, was conducted as If such a thing as aw was unknown, and as il no man need look my further than lils own breast for rules oi ionduct In any exigency of life; and any one rho then talked of law as something binding >n his conscience, was assailed with the foul? tet abuse. Mr. Grimes, Just deceased, was a I Mc tl ra of this outburst ot mob fury, and Mr. | J .Vssenden's death was certainly hastened if lt One of the very first acts of the preseot ad nlnlstratlon was to add to the Supreme Court wo new Judges, chosen avowedly, because hey were known to hold certain fixed opin? ons on a matter in litigation between private larties before the court, and with the view and mention of having a Judgment already given n that litigation reversed by the aid of their ?otes. What made the matter all the w)rse ras that that Judgment bore bard on certain ;reat corporations whose counsel one of the lew judges had been, and that the relief lt ] Tamed was granted to creditors under Con? rads which Had for several years been de iberately violated. It would be impossible o put into an article In a newspaper all be moral objections there were to this per ormance. Among the political objections to t were these: that lt was dlrecly calculated o destroy the confidence of the country in all ubsequent decisions ol' the court, or, In other rords, to destroy the popular respect for the srhole of that enormous branch of American urispmdence which ls embodied in Judicial iecMous; that lt was really an interference by he Executive alone-an Interference, too, such ,s royalty in its worst days has never at empted-between private suitors about a natter of property, the President having used ila authority to effect the result of the suit ilmost as directly as if be had sent a military orce to prevent the execution of a writ or to ullmldaie the Judges on the bench; finally, hat lt was a direct and open tampering with he constitution of the Supreme Court, on [rounds of what seemed to the President public lolicy, and In preparation lor what lie thought , probable contingency (the necessity tor egal tenders in Fome other war)-helo fact onst I tuting himself sole Judge of the whole natter. Tue affair roused a good deal cf In? tonation, but the Republican party, as a arty, winked at it. We ure glad lo see that he "Independent Republicans" have taken ip this great usurpation in their platform dopted at Jefferson City, and trust that ll rill not be overlooked at Cincinnati. A President who has successfully exercised ils discretion In this way was hardly likely o be In a modest frame of mind, and was lot likely to be filled with a very profound expect tor the law or law-givers. But Con? fess, far from doing anything to bring him ack to a healthier and more constitutional lew of his duties, then armed him wllh uthority euch aa has never been bestowed on , constitutional ruler In any age or country, y giving bim power to suspend the habeas orpus over half of the Union, whenever in is Judgment it should be necessary. The uspension of the habeas corpus, being practl ally a suspension of the law, ie a serious measure, to which resort should only be had n the gravest crisis, but certainly tue Legis Mure alone should, In a law-abiding country, e competent to say when the crisis had come, it this moment, this unprecedented discie ion ls lodged in General Gram's hands, fie ins not abused lt, lt will be said. Perhaps toi; but does anybody suppose lt hos Increased Is respect, or the respect ot his followers, fur he constitution and the laws ? We shall not comment on the San Domingo luveroent, high-handed as many of Its fea ures were, Inasmuch ab it was resisted, and ucce8sfully resisted, by Congress. But ls lt urprieiug, after all thin, that when Mr. Bout rell came to place lils new loan, and found tie provisions ol' the law under willoh he was Cling inconveuleut or objectionable, he hotild, Instead of walting to have it altered, ave totally disregarded lt, and have acted ou Is own dlscreiiuii ina matter on which the sglslature allowed him nu discretion what ver? And does anybody seriously suppose Dat other munagersj?of the public finances, fter seeing his disregard of the law unblu?h lgly pronounced wholly blameless byasolid arty vote, will be any less scrupulous thun e, whether they ure as upright and well leaning or not ? We need not wonder, then, that Ihe War ?epanment, having received permission by (.solution to Sell damaged arms, should not nly go to work to sell as good arms as ever rere made, but should actually manufacture mmunliion to accompany them. Somebody n this case-we do not know who lt wus nly did what the President did In the matter f ihe legal tenders and elie Supreme Conn, nd what Mr. Boutwelldid lu the mailer ol' he loan-that is, substitute conclusions of his wn as to what was desirable or advanta ;eous, fur the will of the nation, os plainly ex? cessed ia legislation. General Grant either :new and did not care, or did not know, vhich is nearly as bad, that a court packed by he President, to render decisions in support I what he cunsldered good policy, was not a hing contemplated by the constitution or by be American people; and Mr. Bouiweil prob ,bly knew very well ne was breaking the law, mt he felt that his Judgment was belter than hat of the law-makers, so he followed his iigtnentand disregarded theirs. The disease ls une which is running through he count!y, and has seized on functionaries, Olh State and Federal, in every d;reciion. LS might be expected, lt shows Itself la its xavest form in financial matters, but lt is not unfitted to financial matters.

Celebration of Washington's Birthday In Greenville. [PROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] GREEVILLE, 8. C., February 23. The event of this week la Greenville wai the eulogy o? General Easley on General R. E, Lee. It was delivered in tbe courthouse ?asl night, the 22d February, the birthday of Gen? eral Washington. There was a splendid au? dience and great enthusiasm to hear General Easley, one of the foremost men of the up? country. The exercises were opened with prayer by Rev. Ellison Gapers, one of the dis? tinguished generals of the Confederate army. James Birnie, Esq., presided at the meeting. General Easley ls a most Impressive speak? er, and eloquent and original lo thought and style. He compared Washington and Lee, showed their resemblance, and pronounced them the two great and good men America had produced-surpassing all others; and both Southerners and slaveholders. He then spoke of the different result of their lives, equally great and good, and yet one crowned with suc? cess, and the other the hero of the "Lost Cause." He compared the Caucasian and African-the one in all ages leaders in civiliza? tion, science, art; the other sunk in barbar? ism. At one point, in a burst of eloquence, be asked with thrilling emphasis: "Who ever heard of a black Alexander or a black Caesar of a black Aristotle, ora black Homer-of a black Milton or a black Bacon ?" He took up slavery next-contrasted Abraham and St. Paul* with Exeter and Faneull Halls, the teachings of the Bible with the lanaticlsm of the day, and intimated pretty strongly that lt would all wind up in the extinction of the black man. It was an able and eloquent discourse, and Intensely Soulhern In tone and feeling. He was ollen cheered by hts audience, who were generally most intensely Southern. The people here are but poorly reconstructed, and the course of the government at Washington and Columbia is making but few converts to the present order. Conciliation, kindness, gene? rosity at Washington would have been the .rue policy, but oppression and persecution have but engendered bitter hatred. "Oppres? sion," says Scripture, "maketh a wise man nad." _ _SOMERS. THE TRIAL OF MAYOR HALL. NEW YORK, February 26. An Immense crowd- gathered to hear the )roceedlngs agalnat Mayor Hall.

In the Senate a bill was introduced contlnu ng the mall service between the United 'tates and Cuba.

[Prom the New Yorker Journal.] It cannot be denied that during the Franco 'russian war the United States were an arse ia! for France; nay. more; lt cannot be denied har. our government not only furnished arms 0 France, but was that country's patron, just s England was the abettor of the South du ing (he late civil war. The Republican party ' answerable for Its overt acts; ls answerable Dr the administration elected by it. and It fol JWS that lt disavowed, like the last Demo ralle State Convenllno. the heads of our party1 1 the State of New York, and branded them. 1 l is not here the question whether or not a lemocrailc administration would, under the 1 ame circumstances, have acted as did Pres!- I enc Grant's administration. President Grant ? id act in this way; did so do violence to the , iw of nations and our own neutrality that ?any thousands more of ihe sons of the land 1 four birth were forced to die on the bloody 1 elds of France than otherwise might have ? led. and Grant and his party are answerable < jr lids. [From the New-Yorker Demokrat, Feb. 22. J , The expectations ot the assembled masses, rho had come lo listen to the words of the enator from Missouri, were more than ful lied. As we have said, it will be In vain that < lie diane, which strives to acquire the unen- ' labio reputation of being the champions of a < ilse and destructive system, will exhaust ? hemselves In the attempt to counteract or t ven to weaken the effect of this speech, 'he empty room alter Mr. Schurz had finished, ? nd Senator Morton arose to make a weak 1 eply, (which was directed, not against the t jcontrovertible arguments of his predeces- t or, but against lils person,) and ihe adjourn- . lent ol' the session resolved upon irame- 1 lately after Morton's speech, are a strong c vidence of this circumstance. We regret I hat we are not able to enter into the part icu- c irs of this Important speech, of which, i specially.:: the successful extinction of t he amendment of the senator from Tew York was a brilliant point. We an, however, not avoid noticing, above all, L he honorable testimony which me German j euator paid to his countrymen. "The Ger- r ians of America," he said, "belong to no one; ?ast of all do they beiong to mat class ol oliticlans who cling in despair to power, re ardless of the soil through which that class { .III drag them." What person, having truly ' t heart the honor of the German name and he true sphere ot German Influence upon the j estimes of our adoptive Fatherland, cannot rlsh that the Germans ot America, to what ver party their political convictions may j sad them, would cause to be realized this lonorabie testimony of their courageous haraplon ? The opportunity for this will be i ? tiered In limited and more extended circles, nd we hope that the German citizens of the Inion will not forget those words from the enator from Missouri and the duly to respect i hem. _ _ _ -The New York Sun says: "The Republican - itaie Convention of Sjtith Carolina, after noosing a delegation to the Philadelphia Con? lon, adopted resolutions endorsing Governor ?cutt, the notorious plunderer, and General irani. It ls eminently consistent In a body of nen who uphold the unlimited robberies of ] he South Carolina carpet-baggers-robberies hat even the Ku-Klux committee denounce is the most infamous that have occurred in my of the Southern States-to express at the 1 ame lime their gratification with Grant's pe- . :ullar administration of affairs.
