COLUMBIA, S. C. Sunday Hornin?, February 14, 1869. Grant and the Radicals. Is there to be a quarrel between the next President and Congress ? asks tho New York Citizen. This is the most prominent topic under discussion in political circles of all parties. Tho manner in which the radicals talk about it among themselves leaves tho suspicion, at least, that a quarrel is immi? nent, and likely to tako place at an early day. During the late Presidential campaign the people were told by the radical press and their speakers on the stump that it was no necessary for the interest of the Dation to elect General Grant ; that his election was the only way in which harmony could bo obtained between the Executive and Con? gress. Thia harmony, they claimed, was essential for the successful reconstruction of the South, and the restoration of prosperity to the country. What do wo now fine ? In twenty more days General Grant will bo sworn into office as President of tho United States. It is plain to every observer of events that the leading radicals in Congress do not intend to heartily co-operoto with him, and are already prepariug the minds of the masses of their own party for a break. This is exhibited in several ways. The most prominent illustration ?3 their action on the ^tenure of office law. This law was passed on tho pretext that it was necessary to hold Johnson in check, and prevent his filling thc . offices of tho country with rebels and cop? perheads, and thus carrying ont and making his, to thom, obnoxious reconstruction schemes successful By the passage of this law they protected their friends in office, and proyented Mr. Johnson from removing them. If this was the solo object of thc law, thero certainly ?3 no used of retaining it on the statute books one hour after thc . expiration of Johnson's term ; certainly not if, as they claimed during tho campaign, there is to bc perfect harmony between tho new President and Congress. All must ad? mit that not a word has fallen from General Grant's lips in a manner that has found the way to tho public indicating that ho pro? posed to get up a quarrel with his party in .Congress. On the contrary, he announced, on acceptiDg tho Chicago nomination, that he had no policy, and ho certainly has not proclaimed a policy since, further than thc declaration in favor of economy in expendi? tures, reduction of expenses, honesty in office, and a strict accountability on tho part of every Federal office-holder. This may bo takeu as an indication by thc radi? cals that thero is to bo a quarrel between them and tho new President. General Grant hus asked, in un indirect manner, that tho tenure of office law shall bo repealed. This request is but natural and just. He must soe, os every other ob? server of events docs, that this measure protects the official thieves and plunderers in their operations. Ile must sec that it will be impossible for him to inaugurate u reform and secure un honest administration of tbe offices of the country whilo his bauds are tied with that law. It has, in its effects and results, been the worst law that was ever placed upon tho .statute books of the nation. Tho evils which it has fostered and protected, ?nd have grown np under it, are ten-fold worse and more injurious to the country than it would buvo been possible for Mr. Johnson to inflict, had be commit? ted tho outrages that it was charged he would. Under its operations, hundreds ol millions have been annually stolen from the Treasury and tho people; defalcations and embezzlements havo increased at an alarm? ing rapidity. When the President under? takes to suspend from offico or call to at account one of these guilty officials, thc latter throws himself back upon the tenun of offico law, snaps bis lingers, and defiei the Executive. Realizing that it will b< impossible for bim to secure a chango o; the reform in tho Federal offices which tin 'people expect und demand while this lav remains on the statute books, bo asks thu it maj' bc repealed. A bill is introduced ii the lower bouse of Congress to wipe tho liv from thc statute books. This is snpportoi by all who are known to be in a position t know Grant's views, and it is opposed b Sehenok and that durs of men who wot foremost in the movement in getting up th quarrel with Johnson. It finally passes tin body, tho extreme radicals voting against i Tho bill goes to tho Senate; thero it lu been sent to thc coinmittco and permitti to slumber for weeks. As an excuse for th ourse, comes mutterings from the radie Senators that it will not bo safe to placo ti this power in tho hands of tho Presiden This is followed with insinuations that Grui never was heart and soul with tho Republ can party, therefore it will not answer give bim such unlimited power. The first symptons, therefore, of a quart betweeen the radicals and Grant comes from tho former. Their own acts and their suspicions are the indications. Bnt we are now told that the radical Senate will consent to modify the law, by giving the President full control over his Cabinet, but not other offices. This means that for the purpose of preventing the removal of tho dishonest officials whom they have been keeping in office, thoy will continuo tho law so far ns it applies to them, and get up n quarrel with tho President to justify their notion. So persistent aro they in this course that tho leading men in that party make no secret in announcing that it is their conviction that Congress and Grant cannot get along toge? ther smoothly for three months. This np peais to be almost the settled conviction of the country. But if a break takes place, tho radicals will fiud it more difficult to conduct a quarrel against Grant than they did with Johnson. Grant, it is thought, will act and not talk, and iu thu promptness and boldness of his moves will draw the people to him. It is well known, tho Citi? zen says, and by nono better than tho radi? cal Members of Congress, that when they adjourned in tho summer of 18GG, tho tide of public opinion even in their own party was against them. Lottcrs had been pour? ing iu from their constituents, complaining and in fact censuring them for quarreling with the President. They left, therefore, with heavy hearts, feeling that they would bc obliged to defend their action before their own friends at every step. But before they commenced this explanation, Johnson started on a tour for Chicago, inukiug speeches wherever he went. In these speeches, he arrayed the Republican musses against him, uud furnished all tho explana? tions that was required. Thc rank and tile in the radical party no longer censured their representatives for quarreling with Johnson, but wondered that they bore with him us long as they did. Tho radicals need never expect to bo helped out in this manner in a quarrel with Grant. The best thing, there? fore, that they can do is to repeal thc tenure of office law, and give Grunt an opportunity to correct tho abuses, remove the thieves and put honest men in office. WHAT IS EXPECTED.-Tho philosopher of thc Tribune is pointing out to the President elect thc kind of oompauy ho is expected to keep. He says: ** We venture to say that while General Grant probably .selects the compony that best suits his taste, both among white men ind black, ho will not decline to minglo in a public entertainment with men whoso votes assisted in his election. //" u black mun iras youd enough to vote for thc Republican partit in North Carolina, he is good enough to attend tn inauguration Indi in Washington." And if ho is good enough for all that, why jot good enough to frequent Greeley's man? sion, and conduct the ladies thereof to pub? ic oi.tertainmonts ? Tnt-: HEDREWSABBATH.-The israelite, the irgun of tho Jews at Cincinnati, in ti late ssue, makes the following suggestion: "In order that wo may have ti day ol .est, a real Sabbath, which can be observ?e jy all Israel, wo propose to adopt that din .vhich is set apart hy hundreds of millions, lay the whole civilized world, for pbysico .cst and tho worship of God.
