As wo have already shown, Washington had to endure unspeakable assaults from men outside and from men inside his political family. Presidents Jefferson, Madison and Monroe bad their own internal and domestic difficul? ties to overcome. John Quincy Adams started in a family war and ended in one. Old Hiekoiy fought through eight years of un paralleled political, personal, social, domeatio and financial detraction, and y o', st rango to say, af ter a conflict with tho leaders of his own party, tho mem? bers of his Cabinet ovory one cutting at each other, and ut last nearly getting into war with foreign nations, he was re? elected by the largest of known majori? ties, aud died in tho midst of universal gratitude and love. We find his statues, busts and pictures in many of tho old Whig houses, especially since the rebel? lion, duri jg which the motto of "The Union-it must aud shall bo preserved," was an axiom. Grant is simply running the same gauntlet and passing through the same purgatory. [Philadelphia Press, {Forney ) To which the Savannah Republican adds: Every word of thu above is strictly true, except thu lust sentence, and it is u pity that so much instructive truth should have had a falsehood tied to its tai', Thero is no parallel between Grant und hts illustrious predecessors, for they eucouutered opposition for very diffor eut reasons. True, the men that pre? ceded Graut bad iiorco battles to fight, but, they were all for the principien of tlie Constitution. None of them at? tempted to overthrow that charter of American libertios and erect a consoli? dated despotism iu its place. Noue of them lent the aid of their adiniuistra tious to sot aside tho sacred writ of habeas corpus, and erect military despot? isms in the States. None ot them sent Federal soldiers to surround tho ballot box aud overawe the people in clectious. None of them used the pen of the Presi? dent to slander one-half of tho people, nor the Executive power to perpetuate discord and strife between the sections. Noue of them looked on callous und un? moved wheu a foreign despotism was cruelly riveting itschaiusupon aa unwill? ing and struggling people within sight of our shores. None of them disgraced the Executive office by receiving gifts and rising from poverty to princely nflluence while holding it. None of thom outraged all decency by appointing to office nearly every male member of their own and their wives' relations. None of them had their administrations signal? ized by almost nnivorsal official demora? lization and robberies of the public trea? sury unparalleled in the history of the world. When the Press shall bc able to es? tablish such similitudes between Grant and his illustrions predecessors, it may, with soma robson, continue the parallel in thc re-election of tho former, und his future place in the history of American Pr?sidents. Tho New York Journal of Commerce remarks: "Thero is much force in the suggestion that seemingly good Admi? nistration men are doubtless on the fence, waiting for farther developments, aud ready to join Surauer, Trumbull, Schurz and other lendiug Republicans, iu making a decisive break with General Grout. Tho fracture in the Republican ranks appears already to be past surgery. Tho custom houso quarrel, the French arms difficulty, aud other causes of dis? traction, besides thc San Domingo trouble and sundry legacies of isagree ment from past Congresses, have com? bined, to make the return of the reform Republicans to General Grant's ndho reut8 almost imposai ble. A few more such grounds of dissension-and they may yet appear, as the ferment works would detuch a very large number of Re? publicans, now faithful to tho Adminis? tration, from its support. On tho Ala? bama disputo alone hang important results. A singlo mismovo by Secretary Fish would damage t ho President irrepa? rably. Ona thing may be safely said the President and bis advisers will have to use moro tact than they have hitherto shown, to extricate tho Administrtnion pnrty from tho perils that threaten." SUMNER ON GRANT.-The editor of the Now York Independent (Radical) inter? viewed Mr. Sumner, a few days since, in relation to his future course toward General Grant, and gives the result of his interview in his paper as follows: He asked Mr. Sumner if he would not vote for Grant in caso he should be re? nominated. "No," said the Senator, "I will never voto for him." "Whynot?" "I am satisfied," said Mr. Sumner, "that Grant is a dishonest man. That is sufficient to justify me in saying most positively that I cannot and shall not support him. For other reasons, he is unlit to be President of the United States. Ho does not possess the neces? sary capacity. Ho is iguorant of "tho details of civil government, and does not manifest a disposition to learn thom. Ile is venal, ambitious, and vulgar in his habits, and possesses a cunning which is low and dogged. He has a strong will, but it is never controlled by reason; heneo ho becomes perverse, and the mon, when ho should be most yielding and gentlemanly, is most obstinate and Humanly. Such u man is unfit to be President of the United States, and most unfit to bo the candidate of thc Republican pnrty. Ho ought not, to be | nominated by that party, and shull nut, if I cnn help it. I cannot honorably support a party that will sustain such it I mah." - There were twenty-one (leiths in j Charleston for tho week ending tho 5th j iu-staut-whites thirteen; colored eight, i PEN AND INK SKETCHES OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA LEGISLATURE.-The olo.so ob? server of men and things, who visits the capital of South Carolina, may learn mnob, both to admire and despise. His thoughts will naturally be turned to the groat central figure in the drama of go vernments, the Legislature, and ite act? ors, on the stage, whether in the dis? charge of onerous duties iu their seats or ou their feet. Ia their places, there ia room for improvement. Under ordi? nary circumstances, where men have been eutrusted with grave responsibili? ties, the public has recognized sterling worth and intelligence. Men who have been thus elevnted to honor have sought to diguify their callings and positions by au adaptatioa to tho responsible re? lationships to which they have been called; "aud if their intellectual develop? ments were not what they themselves desired when entering the halls of legis? lation, they have sought to qualify them? selves by study for tho responsiblo du? ties of their office. The mode of con? ducting debates always indicates the character of the disputants, and shows tho ground-work of their educational advantages. The rude sallies of vulgar wit often brought into requisition in de? bate moves a smile upon tho thoughtful faco of tho thinker, while he feels a sen? sation of regret at tho absonco of that dignified and rospectful consideration which would characterize a higher order of thinkers. There are soma bright in? tellects there, but they seldom speak, for the reason that the fools occupy all the precious time with their senseless gabble. It would seem that thoso who kuow thu least talk tho most. Yet this fact illustrates what a sttngglo there is to rise superior to tho disadvantages of loug years of the night of oppression. We could wish that there was moro dig? nity nmoug tho members of that body. Them is a steaggerish air about a large portiuu of the members-a redness ol eyes, us depicted by Solomon, a flush ness of face, which betokens bestiality a profusion of gold trappings, whicb marks extravugauco; aud a uewuess ol position unlooked for, and consequently a lack of readiness for it. There is doubtless little attention pail to study, by many of thom, ot thos< great principle's of government and po litical economy, which should bc th? pride of the statesman. Fast horsos hue suits, wine drinkiugs, cards, bil Hards and profligacy characterizes man; who uro met daily in the streets. Sa loons and grog-shops take thc larges share of some mon's wages. Profanit; is the golden morsel to some of them We noted on oou occasion a former di viuity student of tho M. E. Church ii the full tide of wino or stronger drink cursing like a young sailor. Ou auotho occasion, we saw a former local presche of the A. M. E. Church drunk, na belching ont oaths which would .shame Jack tar. Tho unlooked-for tide of eh vatiou has swept theso weak meu int deep waters, und they cauaot keep thai heads above tho waves of rushing water While this is true of some, thoro AI honorable exceptions.

We felt a blush of shan mount to our cheek as we surveyed th degrading spectacle, lt is a qtiestit for tho people*to settle next fall, wheth they will bo misrepresented by besotti drunkards, or by sober, thinking at acting men.

A GOOD SION.-Forney, of tho Phila? delphia Press, und his coadjutors, ure pouring out venomous abuse npoil the nominees of the Cincinnati Labor Re? form Convention. Both of tho goutle mo'.i nominated were considered good enough men until u.imed as opposition candidates, but now they are ".selfish," and "ambitions," and "inexperienced," and "unreliable," and "not true enough to party." Well, gentlemen, is that all you have to say against them? Aro they not honest aud capable? Have they not, each of them, over and over again, proved their popularity with tho people mid the eouutry? Is not one of them a most excellent Judge of tho high? est court in the laud, and thc other a moat excellent and popular Governor of a State? But they aro not for Graut. Certainly uot! Neither are thousands of the best Republicans iu tho Union, and not only in Missouri, Illinois and Kan? san, but in tho Middle and New England States. Well, how about these mon? Aro they "selfish," "unroliable," and "not true?" Is Forney going to have these thousand* read out of the Repub licau party as Gratz Brown and Scbeuck and Davis have beon read out?

He succeeded iu drawing a crowd of colored men and boys, who treated him rather shabbily. Ho recounted his reform sen? timents, doclnrod himself a Democrat of the old school, when matters looked so "squally" that a polico officer had to re? quest him to desist from further harangu? ing, and accompany him to the guard house.
