Gen. Grants Policy Of Kctrenclf-
mcnl.

The Chicago Tribune gives the following
version or IL conversation had with General
Grant, when he was in that city. 1t says:
When General Grant was urged to pro-
long his stay at the fair few days, on the
ground that he was fairly entitled to II little
more furlough after his four years of unre-
mi.tng labor, he replied that business, if
important, must always have precedence of
pleasure, and that he could be vastly more
useful to the country at his post, in Wash
ington, than by lingering in Chicago; that
he considered it his highest immediate duty
to retrench Government expenses, and save
the resources OF the people as far as lay in
his power. He said that taxes would be
heavy enough hereafter in any event, and
that not one dollar should be added un-
necessarily to the burden.
One item of expenditure which should he
speedily retrenched, that he mentioned, was
the support of 100000 head of horses and
mules in possession of the army when Lee
surrendered. To feed and attend these ami
mails will cost not far from one dollar per
day each. Genera. Grant proposed to sell
of 10000 to 10000 of them at pulic auc-
tion to the highest bidders, and put the
proceeds into the Treasury. The saving
for their support and attendance will
amount to more than million of dollars
per week, to say nothing of the eight or ten
millions which they will probably realize to
the Treasury in the sale.
The general says they are now idle, and
eating their heads off When they are sold
to the farmers in the South ms well as the
North, they will support themselves, and
more. too. in tilling the soil and moving the
crops. And the thousands of men taking
care of them while in possession of the
Government, will be relieved from this duty
and discharged, and sent home to aid in
developing the resources of the country and
paying the taxes. Gen. Grant intends to
reduce the army to the lowest point con-
sistent with public safety. 1t is not proba-
BILE that more than 100000 after the first of
January, will be retained in the service, and
part OF these may be gradually mustered
out during the next three or four years.
The black troops will mostly Le retained
for garrison purposes in the Gulf States
The Veteran Reserve Corps and regulars
are the only white troops that are likely TO
be kept in service beyond this wear. The
regulars may be increased TO the maximum
of forty thousand men. A few regiments
of cavalry will have to be retained for from
tier service to look after marauding red.
skins.
The army expenses have already been cut
down more than million of dollars per
day, and, under Gen. Grants vigilant
supervision, further excision is going on
every day. The general believes not only
in hard fighting, but close shaving, so that
the country may be able to endure the drain
oil any other war that may arise hereafter.

A Large Number of Prominent
Persons Present. &
AUBURN, New YORK, June 24.--The fu.
neral obsequies of Mrs. VIM. II. Seward, this
afternoon drew together, from far and near,
a large corcousse of sympathizing friends.
The occasion and the services were exceed.
ingly impressive and touching. The bcauti-
full grounds around the mansion OF Mr..
Seward were laid out mostly in accordance
with the taste of his accomplished wife, In
and about these grounds she had passed the
hsppiest hours of her lite, and shortly before
her spirit departed she said to her husband,
"Ohl Henry, how should like to sec the
flowers and hear the birds in the garden
once more" In obedience to this wish the
remains were removed to a shaded spot in
tine grounds at one o'clock to-day, where
they were visited by the friends of the family
until few minutes before three o'clock,
when, upon the appearance of a shower, they
were returned to the house. From thence,
at hslf.past three o'clock, the funeral pro-
cession moved to St. Peters church. All
places of business were closed ou: of respect
to the memory of the deceased, and the
streets were crowded with mourning citizens
to attend the funeral of the lamente4 lady.
The beautiful funeral service of the Episco
pal Church was read by the Rev. Mr.. Brain
ard, when the hymn I would not live always
and another hymn were sung with touching
effect. The altar was deliberately adorned
with wreaths, crosses, crowns, and pyramid.
OF flowers, sent by mourning friends from
Albany, Geneva, Rochester, Buffalo, auo
various other places.
Governor Seward, borne down more Will
sorrow than by the dreadful wounds inflicted
first 10y accident and then by design fol
lowed the remains into the church and then
to the cemetery, attracting all eyes upon
and awakening the most profound sympata.

bravely under such an accumulation of sut
fering seems truly wonderful. The pall.bear
ers were Governor E. S. Throop, Lieutensn

GEORGE N. SANDERS.

This infamous rebel scoundrel whose CON-
plicity in The guilt Of the murder of Presi.
dent LINCOLN; and in the plots 10 introduce
pcstilence in the great cities of the North,
and to lay them in ashes by the smultane-
Gus application OF inccndiary fire in hundreds
OF places, has bccn fully proven, has issued
a flaming manifesto TO what bc calls "thc
patriots of the South. 1t is published in the
Montreal Telegraph. Here IL what hc says
about the oath of allegiance which SO many
unepentant rebels are now taking, or as
Sanders expresses it, s,co1louing, in order To
regain the power of the ballo. witt, which
to carry on the war against the government.
His teachings are identical with those of
Rcverdy johnson. We quote:
"l'he immediate Object of tho Federal
usurpers is to possess themselves of the State
Governments of tho South. To this end
they have invented a test oath. EN- mbarrassing
the constitution with a series of slavish, un.
constitutional conditions. ar!fully prepared
with the object of exciting your disgust
at the rejection of the whole. Protest at all
times against the imposition, but if E,rced
upon you save your franchise Othe life blood
of the South and s,cdtioW the oath, through
the conspirators should offer it in the bowl
of hemlock. The constitution being part
and parcel Of the oath, is autidotc to the
deadlicst political pntions however intensi-
| fed by their legal doctors. and is your mo-
raj and legal deicucc against any claims ON
! your conscience sought to be imposed ny
these Haytieu laweivers.
Committing deliberate and even avowcd
perjury in order to "save their franchsc"-
these men are crowding back into the Tn
ion to carry on their war against the gov
ernmentstill more effectively than they die
while IN arms against it. The Trojan Hors,
was poor and harmless coutrivance com
pared with this test oath, which can be thu
sudllowed by men who glory in perjury a
much as they do in their Others crimes
In his closing paragraph Sanders tells til,
patriots of the South to call upon thci
friends in the North.
Then call upon the men of the North VIII,
acknowledge your equality in the Uniul
to meet you in convention in New Yurl
city before the Northern fall electors ant
there to organize with you a great nationa
party such as will deter the prohigate Presi
dent and his provost spies from laying thei
brutal hands upon unotfending men, woma
and children.
Your exiicd fellow citizen,
GEO. n. SANDERS"
A little while ago, Sanders plotted t
bum New York city, to murder its peopl
by introducing pestilencc, aud dc!iberatcl
discussed the feasibility of poisoning til
Croton reservoir from which that great cit
draws its entire supply of water. Now h
proposes to assemble body OF traitors thcr
; to do things, perhaps less horrible, but ne
less atrocious.

What the Telegraph Did 10 a Win.
lister.

Ofall the freaks Of the telegraph, the fol-
lowing is the most laughable which has
come under our personal knowledge. Not
long since graduate from one of our East.
ern theological schools was called to the
pastoral charge of a church in the extreme
Southwest. When about to start for his
new parish, he was unexpectedly detained
by the incaPacity of his Presbytery to or.
dain him. In order to explain his non. arri-
val at the appointed time, he sent the .ol
lowing telegram to the deacons of the
church; "Presbytery lacked quorum to or.
daih." In the course of its journey the mes.
sage got strangely metamoIphosed, and
reached the astonished deacons in their
shape; "Presbytery tackled worm on to
Adam" The sober church officers were
greatly discomposed and mystiied, but af.
ter grave consultation, concluded it was the
minister's facetious way of announcing that
he had got married, and accordingly pro-
ceeded to provide lodgings for two instead

IMPORTANT To PosrMAsrERs- Recently
the Post-otfiee Department issued orders 20
offices exchanging Pouches, authorizing che
use of twine instead Of paper in putting up
packages of letters. The order has 5een
misunderstood to apply to all Offices, and
many country Postmasters have got the habit
0f throwing their letters loosely into the
mails, occAsioning much embarrassment and
Inconvenience to the service. The Depart
ment, to remedy the evil, has rescindcd the
order, except as to Offices directly served

g. A Unionist of Alabama writes to
of the journals Of the manner that State
dragged out of the Union. The con-
ion in Alabama which passed the ordi-
&c of secession, or the 18th Of January,
, consisted Of one hundred members; of
e, forty eight were pledged against Sc
ion, and the popular vote they received,
shown by careful examination in the
OF the Secretary Of State, was seven
sand more thsn that given for The se-
members. These facts justify the
action which the President draws be-
