tenant Gr,nt took part in every engagement ur
to the City Of Mexico, receiving brevets of lst
Lieutenant aud Captain for meElGorious conduct
at Molino del Rey and Chspultepeo. AT she
close of the war his regiment went to Oregon,
whore he was promoted to Captaincy, but in
1858 he resigned aud settled in st. Louis. In
1859 he removed to Galens, Ill, where he was
engaged in commercial business when the re-
bellion broke out. He was among the frat to

The New York Custom House Frauds

5 The country wac startled last November b.
the announcement that .,
: Astounding frauds had been perpetIa;ed or
Uncle Sans revenue, and that the Custom
House officers were engaged in ferreting out 0
system of smuggling that had defrauded the
Government out of resrly . million Of dollars.
Collector BARNEY took advantage of IT, oc-
caaion to connect the names of . number Of
Democratic employees In the Custom House with
the guilty clerks; and suspended them from
their duties pending an investigation. The
solicitor Of the United States Treasury Depart
ment was sent from Washington to New York,
and spent two months in discovering that only
three or fsur persons were implicated. He then
made report and handed the guilty parties over
I to the U S. District Attorney. The pagers wers
laid before o q. 8. grand jury, who found billi
Of Indictment; but as the District Attorney,
whose signature was required to the billie, had
left town, 20 indictments could be legally re-
turned to the Court, and there the matter end
ed. The World inquiries:
4 How is 1t that subsequent grand juriea have
taken no action? Why is it that these Offenders
have never been indicted7 Mr.. Jordan says
they we're guilty, The Custom House authori-
lies squeezed the guilty merchants dry, and
then the matter was allowed to slumbef, Our
honest merchants daily make inquiries respect
ing these transactions, and throw out intlma-
tions that Il s at the express request Of the Gus
tom House officials that the District Attorney
does not follow up the case The merchants In
innate that Messrs. Barney aud Denison are 10th
to let these trials be brought on, % they might
disclose too much of the machinery Of the Gus
tom House. b'
The World asks for an investigation by all
means; but .snch.a request seems to be quite
useless Id cases where there is danger that Abb
olitiouists may bs'detected infrauds upon the

The Recent Mexican News Doubted

We see that the New York World has little
faith in the recent news from Mexico to the
effect that the French had raised the siege OF
Putbla and withdrawn from the scene Of con-
aict before that city; that President JUARFz was
In Paebla, organizing force to take the often
slve against the French, and other runofs OF
like tenor. After sitting the evidence upon
which these reports are founded, the World
comes to the conclusion that before giving them
. credit Che judicious observer will waisf'until
further advices" It says at the close Of an
article: N
-. The end of this Mexican imbroglio we may
DO sufe is mot yet; and the orefsmilisr man

life the less disposed will he be 70 believe that

A Good Hit on Greeley.

The New York Tribune thinks Mr.. Vallan-
digham has no cause of complaint at being
"seut among hls friends, SOUTH" Probably
not; but IL has come down to pretty point in
the opinion Of most people, when Government
eompss people to "visit their friends!" and that,
too, at unseasonable hours, and In undesirable
quarters. Somebody may get the notion, under
such state Of things, that visit from Mr..
Greeley to the King Of Dahomy, would be Coon
ducive" How would that suit, Horsce!'-

the Delegates to the Eleventh Of June Conven-

Three Things For the Rebels to
Think ON.

There are recent events that may we'll COM
mand the serious contemplation of the rebel
leaders. ar sn ,ft
l. The last hope of aid and comfort from
Northern discussions, as demonstrated by late
elections in the loyal States, is gone-a hope
that the rebels have greatly relied upon.
IL. The final refusal of the British Gov
eminent to receive Mr.. Mason in an official
capacity, and its seizure of the rebel rams
building in the Mersey and the fact, that the
British people support these measures, as
shown in the public opinion evoked by Mr.,
Beecher's speechers. fa9M ~ sl:.a. ali
Ill. The seizure, by order of the French
Emperor, Of the six rebel rams building in
French ports. This act must be especially
discouraging, as Mr.. Slidell had been accred-
tied with great influence at the French Court,
and the Emperor has generally appeared ini-
mical to the loyal cause and seeking pretexts
to intervene. The support of France was the
last hope of the rebel magnates. One of the
Richmond Administration papers went so far
as to say eve must have the aid of France,
and can pay for it"
Thus the rebellion now stands Falone-be-
reft Of the sympathy of the world, and its in
ternal weakness confessedly increasing daily.
Does any man in his senses doubt that twill
be finally and utterly, suppressed, and the
Union restoredY go
