Last evening wednesday, BEING g. hon
night" a large crowd assembled in tSe
hop room" expecting to see ssGen. Grant
dance" About Q O'Clock the general and
family entered the room, and the band
Immediately struck up "Hail to the
Chief," thereby giving everybody present
chance to recognize in the modest ofioer
who now entered the room the gallant and
victorious leader of our armies during the
late contest in the field.
Everybody knows, or should be aware
OF his ability to lead armies, and use up
armies, when they are not composed Of
men to suit his ideas of things; but eyery
body did not know that the general could
dance. Well, now, sober-sides, don't get
shocked at what l am about to disclose
he can dance, and did dance on the eve
ming of the 26th day Of July, at West
Point. 1t was amusing to see the general
maneuvre in the intricate movements of a
cotillon; but he accomplished it manfully,
and it must have been particularly delight
full for the young ladies to be handled in
the dance by the gallant hero.

Minnesota Politics.

We make the following extracts from
letter of our New York correspondent
concerning the issues of the ensuing can
vass in this State:
see by the papers that the Minnesota Dem.
ocratic Convention is to come off on the 10th
OF next month. l trust that the convention
will evince wisdom and true patriotism in the
selection of its men. Remember nothing can
defeat the Democratic party but Democrats
themselves.
The soldiers vote at home will be very differ
ent from what it was in the field. They have
returned weary and warworn, utterly sick of
the negro, and they will not consent that the
and bled for should be put in jeopardy by
miserable faction, who faint the public air by
keeping the corpse of slavery over ground, and
rattle its bones in order to make political CAPT.
tai for themselves.
But am most anxious to see what course
the conservative Republicans of Minnesota
such men as the Hon. James Smith, of St.
Paul. and others.-will take now. win thew
60 in for Wendell Phillips, Chief Justice Chase
Che should be called "Chase Justice " and for
enfranchising the negro ?-not in Minnesota
for that is of very little moment, but in the
Southern States, against the wish of their citi-
zens! If you do this, gentlemen you will
strike at the keystone of the arch that supports
the whole structure of your republican form of
government.
Our correspondent will not get much
satisfaction from the action of the conserv-
alive Republicans of this State. They are
completely under the thumbs of the radi-
Gals, and dare not wag their tongues, save
in private, against any fanatical measures
that are proposed.

Seduction and Robbery.
Fl: m the Cincinnati Commercial, August

Fir m the Cincinnati Commercial, August l.
A wholesale grocery merchant of Saint
Louis arrived here last Friday, and called
at the Burnet House, where he made anx-
ious inquiry of Mr.. Wilkinson as to wheth-
er the name of George W. Ashcraft "and
lady" had been registered there. Being
informed in the negative, he left, the same
day, for New York, in quest of the parties.
Upon this case hangs a tale. It appears
that the George W. Ashcraft referred to
had been in the employ, as book keeper,
of the gentleman who is now making such
a vigo, Gus search for him. His employer
has daughter of eighteen, beautiful
girl, who had become enamored of the said
book-keeper, who is said to be young
man OF fascinating address, remarkably
good looking, and evidently INSCRIPTIONS
character. Discovering bis advantage,
Ashcraft Immediately followed it up, to
the shame of the unfortunate girl, who
readily yielded herself to his wishes.
While their peculiar intimacy was yet a
secret, known only to themselves, Ash
craft, fearful of the consequences, pro-
posed to her father for her hand in mar
rage. The father refused his consent,
which would certainly have been granted
had he known the real state of affairs; but
neither of the guilty parties bad the cour-
age to inform the parents, and the result
was, that the weak, yielding girl, fearful
of their anger, and dreading the shame
she would have to encounter upon expo
sure, and still clinging with all the fervor

guilty companion, consented to leave the
city with him. Upon the night of their
departure, she penned and directed to her
mother short note, vaguely limiting at
the facts of her misfortune, while the
book-keeper appropriated to himself the
sum of 81 800, which he had placed in his
blank-book, as if for a deposit, As soon
as he could ascertain the direction in
which the fugitives had started, the grief
stricken father left his home in pursuit, of
them, with the determination OF oyertak-
ing them. :

Cost of Messages by the Atlantic
Gable

Some idea OF the expense of European dis
patches by the Atlantic Cable may be formed
from the following extract from communi.
cation to the editors and publishers of Western
newspapers:
At the rate of tariff established by the ATTAIN
tic Telegraph Cable Company, forty words
from London to New York will cost about $500.
The Executive Committee of the Associated
Press have ordered me to arrange for two daily
reports of not less than twenty words each, and
so many more as the importance of the news
may justify. These reports will be prepared
at London and Liverpool, respectively, at about
3 o'clock P. n. and 8 O'Clock A. NJ. or about 10
o'clock A. NJ. and 10 o'clock p. M, New York
time, 50 that the London report of 8 o'clock p.
n. will probably arrive in good season for pub.
lication in the regular editions of the after
noon journals, and the London report of three
o'clock A. NJ. will doubtless arrive in New
York in good season for the publication of the
morning journals.
Two reports In every twenty-four hours for
Six days. and one on Sunday, will cost 81 $50
per week or $102 900 per year. Add for de.
tails OF important news via Cape Race, Halifax,
etc. for agencies, and incidentals in Europe,
3d. 900, the total cost per annum will be $117,-
O0O. Deduct the present European news ex-
penses per annum. $40 900, there will be de-
feiency of s77, COO.
Forty words day seems like rather small
allowance, ard vet hundred thousand dollars
q year is no mean figure to pay out for it.

SCANDAL At DETROIT.
How a Fast Man Neglected to
Close the Blinds.
Mans Perfdy and Woman's Trust.
From the Detroit Tribune, July 81.

From the Detroit Tribune, July 81.
When we look back upon the many
scan. mag. cases that have been brought
to light in this city during several months
past, we find that Saginaw has had full
share. Notwithstanding this, however,
We find that the land of salt is apparently
not content, and now furnishes another
still more scandalous than any similar
transaction, the particulars of which will
be found below, as obtained from an appa.
rently reliable source.
Several days ago George Carter left bis
wife and family at Saginaw and came to
this city with woman of bad character.
They put up at the Garrison House, where
they registered themselves as man and
wife, and enjoyed themselves seeing the
sights, visiting places of amusement, etc.
On Saturday, Mrs. Carter-a lady of cul-
tivation and refinement here in
pursuit of her liege lord, and made the
matter known to the police. Garter was
easily found, but it was thought best to
make q sure thing of his crime before
making the arrest. An officer was de-
tailed to watch, and Carter was followed
from the circus to the hotel above named.
The guilty pair occupied front room, and
as they did not take the precaution to
close the blinds when they retired, their
movements were easily discernible from
the street. a.
After the pair had been snugly ensconced
in bed about an hour, fearless band oil
policemen assembled the stairs, and noise
lessly placing table in front of the bed.
room door, q view was had of the interior
of the apartment, into which lurid glare
was thrown from lantern. The refec-
tons of the light upon Carter's face awoke
him, and about the time he commenced to
make inquiries relative to .he intrusion, he
and the woman were in custody. A trip
on foot to the lookup was made, and Car
ter and his paramount furnished with sepa-
rate apartments for the night.
On Sunday morning Carter had an in
terview with bis wife, and promised faith
fully that be would reform, 60 home, and
behave himself properly in future. Un-
der the circumstances, Mrs. @ agreed to
let him off, and he was discharged with
the expectation that he would leave for
Saginaw to-day. Instead of doing so,
however, it has been ascertained that this
morning he had paid his bill at the CARR.
son House and left the city with the
woman he came here with, going no ope
knows where.
