IMPORTANT LETTER FROM
GRANT.
Me Denies that Anybody has N
Right TO Commit Him TO
My Policy

From the New Albany Commercial.
Mr. Kefr, in his speech at Hardensburg.
startled his hearers by liz assertion that
Gen. Grant was firm supporter of Presi-
dent Johnson and his policy. The sensa-
ton created by this extraordinary statement
was considerably marred upon the proof
being called for and produced in the form
of letter to Mr.. Kerr from Brevet Brig.
Gen. W. ). lIillyer, of New York City
General Gresham, not feeling completely
satisfied with the proof adduced. wrote to
Gen. Grant concerning it, with the follow
ing result Ii has been announced on sew
eral occasions that the citizens of New Al
bany would be favored with a speech from
General llillyer at some time before the
ensuing election. Will Gen. III. come after
this severe rebuke?
The correspondence referred to we give

Soldiers may rest assured That the. long
delay in arranging for the payment of their
bOunties was designed as well as needless.
The six months further delay virtually
provided for, according to high authority,

was made in this connection, that after that
there may possibly be Congress which
will not favor such measure. cas-

Voters, il is for YOU to say whether such
extravaganza and corruption as the above
Exhibit of County Expenses indicates shall
be continued. No other county i'm the
State gives its Clerk and Sheriff so much
extra pay as Marshall, nor do the Commits
sioners of any other County permit any
man to poke his hand into the Treasury
and take out FIFTY DOLLARS, upon a
trumpcd up charge, and altogether without
warrant of law. Although this has been
charged time and again during the last
three or four months it has never been de-
MED, but will, it is said, in the next DEM
ocrat. Had it been false would it not
have been denied as soon as it was
made? Certainly it would. THIS is

The tendency Of individuals affected by
the extreme heat Of the present time is to
an excessive indulgence in cold drinks,
without much reference to the guam ity or
quality of the fluid they imbibe. So long
as they can take cold drink, majority of
the people care very little what they drink;
although physicians and sensible people are
aware that many people are annually killed
by too frequent or iDjudiCious use of cool
ing beverages during the heated term. For
the benefit of our readers, we recently ap-
Piled to an eminent physician for an opinion
on the subject, and prescription that
would most readily meet the requirements
of thirsty people during the warm weather.
The doctors sudden and emphatic ejacula-
ton Of "ginger" relieved US from the ap-
prehenson that he was about to enter upon
lengthy dissertation on the subject Of
"deaths from an overdose Of ice water"
ending with q prescription combining q
dozen or more drugs, to be taken as SUBJ
stitute for the popular cooling draughts.
"Ginger," said the doctor, 81 consider
the very best article, most easily procured
and least expensive for all persons to en-
ploy. By its proper use they may have
cold water in abundance, and at the same
time evoid most, if not all, the i'll effects
produced by the cooling denominations q
great many people pour down their threats
this hot weather" "Tell your readers"
continued the physician, "to buy a few
ou,ces of powdered ginger, and every time
they are thirsty, let them mix half tea

drink. II . teaspoonful Of sugar or mo-
lasses is added, it will do no harm. 'Ex-

tender and painful condition Of the mouth,
cation unpleasant, and proper mastication
impossible, 80 that food is washed down
with hot coffee in the morning, cold water
at noon, and warm tea in the evening, thus
adding insult to injury, and not unfrequent.
~ stronger and worse beverages are taken
with the victuals. Under these circum-
stances there is tendency to substitute
soft dishes and spoon victuals for solid food,
and large proportion Of people can hardly
make q satisfactory meal without toast,
shortened biscuit, soup, mush, or slop or
slush of some kind, and the result is they
lose their teeth. If any one will notice the
swarms of young persons Of both sexes who
are thronging the dentists on every block
for artificial teeth, he will know that some
thing extraordinary is working the ruin Of
those very userul IS we'll as ornamental
parts of the ossous structure. Ii this rot
ting process goes on with the teeth for
few generations longer, rs rapidly as it is
now proceeding, nothing less than miracle
can save the generations Of not very dis
tant future from being constitutionally
toothless. The teeth will run out. Aud if
we were to name the article that contributes
more than any other one article to the wide
spread and wider spreading destruction Of
the human teeth, we should say-sALT.
Nothing more surely conduces to morbid
cravings and perverted appctences than the
use Of salt. 1t provokes the desire to eat
even when the stomach is filed to repletion,
and thus is the sure precursor to gluttony.
Children who are fed on unsalted food, and
never incline to overload their stomachs,
except in cases where they have inherited
abnormal conditions. Those who cannot
see it their duty to forego the use Of salt, or
who are not willing to cruelty the acquired
appetite in themselves, ought so to teach
and train their children that they will pre-
fer food without it.

Albany. His large tracts of land east of
Albany. in the now snti-rent districts, were
divided into farms, and leased to the farm
ers at very low rents. The farmers came
to him every year with long faces about
poor crops, and asked him to wait till next
year for the rent. Mr.. Van Rensselaer, was
liberal and kind, and let the rent remain
unpaid. The next year, and for many
years, the story was just the same, and the
patron very imprudently consented to let
the debt 60 on accumulating. He should
have either made them pay as their rents
came due (like John Jacob Astor,) or he
should have given them the debt. But he
did neither; and at his death in January,
1889, he left all these unpaid rents, as so
much good property, to his children, and
when the farmers were called upon to pay
their back rents of 10, Is or 20 years
standing, they said at once, 'Your father
did not require us to pay rent, and we will
not pay you Hence it is seen that the
misplaced lenity Of Mr.. Van Rensselaer, is
the cause Of oil the anti-rent troubles in Al
bany county the last 20 years."

Of the comparative ages Of the volunteers in

of the rank and file of these regiments was
one million twelve thousand and seventy

127 Of only 10; $50 Of IA; and 77S Of Is;

serve were theirs. But let US condense DR..
