GEN. GRANTS PosITIoN-The Philadel-
phia Inquirer's dispatch touching Gen Grants
testimony before the Judiciary Committee of
the House Of Representatives, is confirmed by
the following dispatch from ssDixon" to yes-,
terday's Boston Advertiser: n2l5 sd 10 sac
There has been a good deal of talk during
the past two Or three days about Gen. Grants
position on the, reconstruction question. II
VIII be remembered that some time last snm-
fner, when the johnson party was in the dave
of It's Childhood, one Colonel Hillyer, former1v
on General Grants staff, wrote letter 10
somebody in Indiana, saying the general en-.
dorsed the Presidents policy, which allegation
was met by saying that neither HilIyer nor any
one else had authority to speak for him The
democratic members of the Judiciary Com
mlttee OF the House. it appears, thought
point for the President might be made out of
this matter, and accordingly General Grant
and Colonel Hillyer were summoned to give
evidence in the impeachment inquiry. Hiilver
testified that a long interview took place in
February OF last year, between the President
General Grant and himself aud that his Letter
as to General Grants position was founded on
whatwas then said Hilyer had recently return-
ed from an extended tour in the South. and was

General Grant was before the committee ON
two occasions, and his evidence was far cnoucb
from beng pleasing to the gentlemen by whom
he was called. He said in effect. as ii ia nm
derstood, that he had not thought il in his
province to NEEDLE in politics; that he had
never been asked by the President for his adj
vice or opinion on political matters; that in all
he had SAID about the necessity for arly resto-
ration OF the Union he had spoken as a militia

can; that IN his view military rule ought to
cease as soon as possible consistent with instice
and safety; that the southern peopla them

The MORAL OF THE BLACK CRooK.-The
most dramatic of dramas and most spectacular
of spectacles has reached Leavenworth, Kan
sas. Like Shakespeare it is found by its adj
mirers to contain depths Of hidden wisdom
where the vulgar only see tinsel and pro-
nounee it clap-trap. In good time, no doubt,
We shall have commentaries as nice as that of
the man who wrote two quarto volumes on the
character of the nurses deceased husband in
Romeo and Juliet. The Leavenworth Bulle-
tin has already studied out moral, which is,
that it is better to have nothing to do with the
devil, and that poor artists sometimes are
lucky" As Shakespeare has his traducers, so
no doubt critics will arise who will contend
that the moral is a purely Fictitious one and
that the poor artist owed his good fortune in
directly to the Zamiel without whose assist
ance he would inevitably have gone to

To the Editor of the Press aIsfs 81 -, b
have often seen many curiosities and in
quiries noticed in the Press for the ediiation
of its readers. A curiosity came under my OBJ
servation last spring which win relate.
About the time the frost had come out of
the ground I was in the field, and observed on
a limb Of a bass bush something about the size
and shape of a silk-worm's cocoon. took it
from the twig, and brought it in to examine it
in the presence of my workmen, surprising it
was worm turning to a butterfly. On open
ing the cocoon, there was an outer covering
and an inner one, entirely separate, of SO snug
and close texture that could not tear it but
was obliged to cut it. On cutting the inner
one open, which was entirely closed up and
nearly as strong and thick as calfsl1in, 7 dis
covered a, quantity of maggot chrysalises about
an eighth of an inch in length and about six
teenth of an inch in''diameter
Some of these were white and some were
black. These surrounded the cbrysalis of a
worm asst then looked, an inch or little more
in length. .-4s.-.
tain what they would turn to-. Accordingly 1
carried it into the house, sewed up the rent I
had cut, and placed it in dish under a tum-
bier to await its change.
In about a fortnight examined it and all
the change apparent was that the white chry-
salises had become black. g.
About four weeks from the time discovered
it I examined it again-the tumbler contained
a quantity of flies. 81
I let them remain until their life was ex-
tinct SO not to lose any, when to my surprise
they were nothing but the common house fly
full grown-thirty- in number
The long chrysalis had dried up and was
mouldy.
The inquiry I wish to make of you or any of
your readers through your paper, who are
naturalists enough to explain it, is, how came
those flies there? and what connection had
they with whatever formed this double cocoon
or the long chrysalis therein, when both cases
were entirely closed and SO tough that they
could scarcely be torn? siltis< ~ - e hlA

We may miss some of the prominent voices
OF the olden time, perhaps with regret, but let
us remember that the perfection they attained
was accomplished by constant practice, such
they were required to make, in order to per-
form their parts to the satisfaction of the con-
ductor; and this same kind of practice now
would be shown in the great improvement-so
much needed-in many of our choirs. For
how few Of our singers ever give an hours
practice, except Sunday, to cultivating their
voices; instead of doubling the value of this
talent, they hide it in napkin, and for this
neglect will as surely be called to account as
for neglecting any other duty % 1T .sHa

There can he no doubt that the burdens of

We have been watching the course of the
discussion Of this topic in the Democratic pa
pers for some time, without getting much in
formation We hold that the Democratic par
ty is responsible for the war andits consequent
ces, including the burdens of taxation. But
waving that consideration, we would like to
know what the Democrats have now to pro-
pose. What as their policy? If by a political
miracle a Democratic majority should be re-
turned to the next Congress, what would they
do about taxation? What would they do
about the bonds? IL Or to speak nationally
what would they like to have the Repub lican
majority do? If they have any wise and equi-
table financial measures, why don't they bring
them torward2 How or by whom should the
bonds be taxed2mMr Smart is not SO explicit
