New YORK, October q. -
The Herald's special says numer-
Gus ward meetings In favor of the
Grant movement were held in Phila-
delphia last night. At one of them
Judge Kelly made speech fully en-
dorsing the proposed nomination, and
asserting that Grant politically was
in full accord with Congress.
The Illness special denies the re-
port that General Grant had written
a very radical letter to DR.. Lieber.
The question of the liability of the
Government for the counterfeit seven
thirties is receiving close attention in
the Treasury Department.
Assistant Treasurer Vandyke, at
New York, writes that in all cases,
the distinct understanding between
the parties sending in notes and him
self has been that he only received
the bonds for transmission, and to the
effect that he requires all parties to
endorse the notes. as a means of their
Identification, so if they are found to
be spurious or counterfeit they may
be returned to the owner without
difficulty. On the other hand the
bankers claim the payment which
Mr.. Vandyke makes when he receives
the notes to be a complete transaction,
and that the Government becomes
responsible for the notes after that
time, just as fully as they, the bank
ers, would become responsible for a
'counterfeit received over their own
counters. sat st

procured by Davis counsel. 1t is

ception are being made by, his coun-

The Worlds special says: The

authorized by him to say he would
resist impeachment, nor that he would
make no Cabinet removals until after
the November elections.

The Bowling Green AGros-d learns that

Owen County, while climbing a fence fell
upon a snag, which pene rated his body
near the lower part of his bowels, extend
ing upward near eight inches, breaking off
some two inches in the body, leaving a
piece of the snag about SIX in length in the
wound. This was taken out through an
incision made near the pit of the stomach
and although the wound is alarmingly
serious, yet fai hopes are entertained for
his recovery. The boy was about eight
years of age.
Last Monday, a coal miner in Carter
Township, Spencer County named Mr..

crushing and bruising him terribly. For

bank, where the roof was thin, and by
throwing up his arm as he fell his hand
reached through the mass of-faHen dirt,
thus showing his friends the place to dig
for him, and enabling him to get sufficient
air to prevent sufocation. He is doing
well, and hopes are enlertained of his re
covery, though one arm is broken in two
places, and one leg broken. ~
