General Grant and the Presidency.

A gentleman of this city, an intimate per-
sonal friend of Gen. Grants, called on him in
Washington, not long since. His purpose was
to get the influence of General Grant with the
President in relation to an Office in the city,
General Grant told him frankly that his name
would be of no service to him, but an injury.
He said he had solicited but very few favors of
the President and to them nc favorable re-
spouse was returned. He SAID that one day
Mr.. johnson spoke with him in relation 30 it..
He said to Gen. Grant: ''You say you are not
a candidate for the Presidency. Now promise
me, said the President, "that you win not let
your name be used in connection with that of
fee, and will grant you any favor in my pow
er to bestow." To this General Grant replied:
"Mr. johnson, l am not candidate But sup
pose the people insist upon making me one,
what can dor And besides, Mrs Grant has
been recently looking at the White House and
thinks she can run that establishment quite as
well as 1T is run now. And you know, Mr.. Pres
ident, that those women will do pretty much
as they please. And Mrs Grant would deci-
dedly object to my giving any such promise"
The PRECEDENT looked as if he did not under
stand exactly whether this was in jest or In
earnest Correspondence Boston Journal.

The Oldest House in New Hamnsbire.

The following is from the Portsmouth
IN. H. Journal
''Fhe Oldest house now standing, built
in Portsmouth, is the quaint brick house Oh
the Week farm in Greenland This is no
blunder, although it seems like one-for at
the time that house was built, Greenland
was part of Portsmouth. We can find
no written record of the year of it's being
built, but family tradition dates its cree
ton in 1857, by the father of Leonard
Weeks The house was built on the main
road-but the Strengthening of the road half
a century ago, throws it on circular lane

black headers scattered among the bricks

Should the editor of the Era or any of his
frightened readers take turn among these
fnghtful radicals that ''have carried the
Northern States" with such "a rush." he
would lind them the most tolerant, oblging
gentlemen. He could find Hall and at
tentive audience in the most radical
school district in the north, to listen to his
views on any question, and none to 'rnoles
or make him afraid" He would find those
terrible radicals" the business men, the
scholars, the teachers and farmers of the
country, Not one class of them is actua-
ted by the most distant idea or wish to in
terfere with the rights and privileges, or
opinions of any other State But they are
men y ho are proud of their country and de-
voted to its welfare, its honor, its integrity.
They could not honor or respect a govern
meat that did not guarantee equal civil
rights and exact justice TO all it's citizens,
and defend itself against the assaults of it's
enemies, whether from within or from with
out.
Hence their desire to have the principles
of the constitutional amendments now be-
fore the country, embodied in the constitu-
tion-the charter of our liberties 1t mat
tiers little what such men are called, wheth.
er radical republicans or Union men. Only
we conjure those writer's and speakers who
disseminate, if they donot manufacture pub
lie opinion, at the south, to take more ra-
tioual and enlightened view of the situation
of he views and wishes of the great mass
of the northern people They have not got
the institution of slavery now to guard and
protect with such jealous care, and what
is that they think needs so much protection
against northern radcalism, it would be
hard to tell. That blind appeal to prejudice
and passion against an entirely visionary
and fictitious danger, is as useless as it is
foolish, and will never help the people of the
south to any better condition than they are
now in, politically or otherwise.

Discharge of Fenian Prisoners,

On Saturday night thirty-nine Fenan Pris-
oners, who were confined in the Old Jail were
released from custody. Their discharge was
conducted with great secresy, it being only
about an hour before their being sent away
that the prisoners themselves were made aware
OF the joyous tidings. They were furnished
transportation by the Government to Suspen-
sion Bridge in special train provided by the
Great Western railway. This drew up in the
rear of the Jail at 10 o'clock and the men were
safely lodged on board in charge of a guard of
twenty men with corporal and sergeant, I'M
der command of Lieut. Hanison, Of the 18th
regiment. The prisoners received good sup

Wisconsin Losses in the War,

The following is full table of the loss
es of Wisconsin in the war, by sickness, dis
charge, and dismissal, deaths and wounds
in battle, and by desertion. The per CEN
tage of loss was 42,01 while that of Min
nesota was 1888, and Iowa 1914. "rhe
soldiers of these three states" says the ar
ticle from which we clip this table, ''were
noted for their fighting qualities, and no his
tory of the war will be complete unless it
particularly mentions nearly every regiment
raised by either"
The following is the table, from which
| it will be seen that the number of those
lost to the army from dishonorable conduct
was small, except from desertion among
the privates, which was almost wholly con
fined to drafted men and substitutes, many
of the latter class being professional bounty

GRANT COUNTY MONUMENT TO HER SOL
DIERs The people of Grant County are
erecting splendid monument of pure white
marble to tie memory of the soldiers of
that county who fell in the war The main
shaft is square, ornamented by many sculp-
tured designs and inscriptions cop,memora
tive OF war, peace. emancipation, &c. This
shaft is some five feet square at the base,
and some thirty five feet high resting on a
pediment of granite. Abound it, few
yards distant, are eight marble columns,
each surmounted by fine capital on which
is carved marble cannon pointing outward
as if to defend the memory of the dead war;
riors from the vindictive passions Of their
enemies. On the ample Tablets of these
eight columns stand engraved several hun
dred honored names, showing the name of
every man who tell in the service as a SOL
der Of Grant county, whether from disease
or wounds, whether volunteer or drafted,
white or colored. The whole is surrounded
by fence of chains and marble posts, and
occupies a beautiful and slightly location on
the Court house square at lancaster. The
cost Of the whole will not be over 81, 600.
Ii any other counties are DESTROYS of paying
a similar tribute to their soldier dead, (and
what could be more appropriately they can
doubtless obtain any needful Information
by addressing Mr.. a, Burr, of Lancaster,
who was largely instrumental in getting up

We would call attention to the opinion of one of
the leading papers of Canada on this subject:
Most of our readers have doubt read some of
the numerous advertisements of Gift Enterprises.
Gift Concerts, &C. which appear from time in the
public prints, offering most tempting bargains
to those who will patronize them. In most cases
these are genuine humbugs. But there are few
respectable firms who do business in this manner,
and they do it as means of increasing their whole
sale business, and not to make money. From such
firms it is true handsome and valuable articles are
procured for very small sum. and what Is i'm
portant, no one is ever cheated Every person gets
good yalne for his dollar; because is stated it is
intended to act as an advertisement to increase
their ordinary business. aaii.
We have seen numbers Of prizes sent out in this
way by Sherman Watson & Company. of Nassau
Street, N. Y and there is doubt that some of the
articles are worth eight ten times the money
paid for them while we have not seen or heard of
sirgle article which was not fully worth the dollar
that it cost But this is only one of the exceptions
of this rule for general thing the parties engaged
in this business are nothing but clever swindlers-
