Great solicitude has been exhibited by
Northern journals to discover whether Gen
Grant who was accompanying the President
approved of his political addresses. The fol-
lowing dispatch from Columbus, Ohio,
says:
In conversation with Gen. Cox last evening.
Gen. Grant and Admiral Farragut declared
their disapproval of the Presidents policy
and commended that of Congress Both
gentlemen said substantially that they were
participants in the Presidents campaign
tour by express instructions, and not from
any inclination on their part The conyersa-
tons were not strictly private, for several
parties were present"
The commander of the " Boys in Blue :"
who waited on Gen Grant at Woods Thea
tire in CINCINNATI, has published a card,
setting forth what Gen. Grant said to him on
the occasion, which we publish rs follows:
"After being introduced and taking me by
the hand, lac said : l am not politician. The
President of the United States is my superb
or officer, and am under his command.

THE STRIFE OF THREE CITIES.
From the New York Daily News

long mooted question in musical circles
has recently been permanently settled to the
great satisfaction of lovers of Justice general
ly, and especially to the delight of Southern
ers, who have watched the long struggle with
intense interest Boston, New York and
Baltimore have been the contending parties
IN this prolonged dispute which was boldly
inaugurated by Messrs. VIM. Knabe g. Co.,
of Baltimore, to determine whether the
hub" the metropolis of the Monumental
City could turn out the best American piano.
The great commercial town of Maryland can
claim to lead. And this decision has not re-
suited from any one stated trial, but from a
series of thorough comparative tests in New
York, Chicago and other important business
centres of the country. In every instance
parties opposed to the Knabe piano have
been fairly beaten before an honest commit
tee, or have refused utterly to meet the issue
and backed down in the face of imminent
defeat This must settle the issue as fully as
if national convention had decided it, and
in the future the South can boast of manu-
featuring the best piano of the country
knabe d Co. have been making these superb
instruments for thirty years, and their fam e
is nothing new; but other piano concerns
have sprung into existence MEANWHILE claim
ing to beat the old house at its own trade,
and a contest with them was inevitable
Hence the various trials as above.
People will have their prejudices in favor
of one or another maker and must be hu-
mored in them; but an article so long tried
as this-one that has so often proved supe-
rior and freely accorded this palm by the
best judges of Europe and America, has GER
tainly more than ordinary claims upon a
purchasers attention. Substantial, durable,
handsome to look at, delightful to listen to,
keeping in tune longer than any other
known, having delicate touch and giving
such quality and purity of tone as only a
"Knabe" can, we cannot but commend the
universal verdict in their favor The great
Southern house is again being extended to
meet the wants of its immense and constant
ly increasing business, and this triumphant
success, overlapping quarter of century,
is, after all, the true and indisputable test of
worth.

We copy from the Iader, of this City, the
following description of the magnificent
building now in course of erection on Fay-
etteville Street, by those enterprising and
public-spirited citizens, Messrs. W. H. & r.
S. Tucker =
fuckers HAIL.-This new building.
which is being erected on Fayetteville street
by Messrs w H. & R. S. Tucker, (who
made their money by number of years of
liberal trading with our people, and are now
literally investing it in permanent manner
among US by adding to the convenience and
beauty of the city, is gradually going up,
and will soon tower among the other bust
ness houses in its neighborhood. We took
peep, yesterday, at the plan and specifca-
tions of the Hall, which enables us to give a
slight outline of what it will be- when COM
pleted
The ground plat is forty-three feet four
inches front, on Fayetteville street, running
back one hundred and twenty feet, with a
six feet area in front, making the entire
depth one hundred and twenty-six feet
The basement runs back sixty feet, and is
to he nine feet pitch.
The first story runs back the entire length
of the building and is to be fifteen feet
pitch. This is to be the store-room, and
will be by-far the largest in the city.
The second story is designed for public
exhibitions, concerts, &c, and will be very
comfortably arranged for the purpose. This
story is to be twenty-siX feet pitch, with a
gallery on the end and both sides, ten feet
pitch and ten feet wide AT one end of this
floor will be the stage twenty-five feet deep,
thanked by dressing-room, property-room
&C., and at the other, a saloon, parlor, dress
ing-room, and ticket office, which will take
up twenty-seven feet of the length of the
room which will leave for seats a space of
forty-three by seventy-one feet-space suffi-
cient, including the!galleries, to seat fifteen
hundred people.
The front will be of iron, supported by
brick columns from the basement, with gran
lite cap and bondstones. The roof will be
fireproof, and will have two sky-lights, by
which the light will be admitted to the sto-
ries below by means of fioor-ights.
The whole edifce is to be finished off, in
side and outside, in elegant style, and when
completed will be an ornament to the city,
and one of the finest edifices i'll the State
The plans and specifications for this hall
were drawn by Mr. B. w. Warner, Archi
tect, 1872, Broadway, New York, and the
contract for the work was taken by Mr. Thos.
II. Coates, who built the Baptist Church of
this CITY, and the east and west additions to
the main building at the University of North
Carolina. There are about thirty hands
now employed on the work, under the i'm
mediate superintendent of Mr.. John j. Ma
guire, to whose courtesy we are indebted for
the facts we have here given.
