GRANT IN A NEW CHARACTER.

II seems that one cause of Donnelly's
latter is Grants keeper, or owner, or director.
Ever since the beloved Rawlins presented
Washburne with q cane, that elated congress-
man has grown so much in conceit and AFRO
gance that he has become unbearable to his
brother radicals. These patriotic creatures
fear that if Grant is elected, washburne will
control the distribution of the spoils, and
they have a very lively perception of the
capacity of the Washburne family for plum
der and emolument. Donnelly's pronuncia-
niento is symptom of general discomfort
with the Washburnian regime, which may
eliminate in open instruction against Grant
himself. AT all events, these insurgent radi-
Gals will be very likely to demand of Grant
the sacrifice of his favorite as price of their
support at Chicago Donnelly charges
that Washburne pretends to own Grant,
and even, in the expressive phrase of the
indignant protestor, that he carries the gen.
eral of all the armies Of the best government
on the globe in his breaches pocket" But
Donnelly cannot ''think that he (Grant) will
degenerate into becoming puppet to be
played by wires held in the hand of the gen.
tleman from Illinois," neither does he sup
pose that the prospective nominee of the Re-
publican party will be converted ''into a kind
of hand organ to be toted round on the back
of the gentleman from Illinois, VIII lie his whole
family sit on the top of the machine grinning
and catching pennies like a troop of mon
keys" We have heard of Grant as hero,
suspicious have been whispered of Grant as a
politician and statesman, but Grant as a
puppet and a hand organ is a sight for which
the ''trooly loil" heart of the country was
not prepared.

MR. AvEGNo's PLAN.

The merit of Mr. Avegno's plan consists in
/ the certainty of extinguishing our currency
Indebtedness, in the stipulated time, say ten
years, at less cost than by the ordinary
method of funding. Thus, if we assume that
the obligations are redeemed at the average
rate of S55, 900 per month, including princi-
pal and interest, the whole sum will be paid
of, at the end of ten years, and the amount
expended will be $4,000, 600. The interest
on s4, 000, coo of bonds having ten full years
TO run, at 7-30 per annum, would be 50, 920.
600, so that by this method, 100000 would
be saved on the interest account At the ex-
piration of the time the debt would be ex-
tinguished; whereas, by ordinary funding,
nearly SO 900 600 would be paid in the shape
of interest, and the debt of 100000 would
remain to be provided for. The profit to be
gained by the city arises from a participation
in the sale of the so, 600 supplementary num-
beTs, as chances for the premiums to be de-
termined by the monthly drawings.
Whether those profits be large or
small, depends, of course, on the disposition
of the people to purchase the tickets. At all
events the city will not be required to adopt
any extraordinary means to raise the amounts
representing the prizes, since the projectors
assume that part of the labor and response
bility. In addition, they offer to advance the
first three monthly payments of $4,000
each. There can be no doubt that this plan
will assure the object in view-the extinguish-
ment of the currency debt, within a reasona-
BILE time, without resort to burdensome tax
alton, or the sacrifice of the property and
franchises belonging to the city. Any plan
by which this can be accomplished, is good
plan, without regard to any collateral or Incl
dental profits. The element of chance,
which has been introduced into Mr.. Avegno's
scheme, is USED only in order to hold out
such inducements to the holders of city cur
rency as will effect the conversion Of the notes
into the proposed bonds. The tender of the
kind of bonds provided for by the plan might
suffice, as those bonds could not fail to be
popular investment, considering that they are
to be exchanged against deprecated paper
bearing no interest, and existing only as so
much dead capital. But what would be pro-
liability in the one case, becomes an absolute
certainty in the other and hence the great
importance of the additional attraction in the
shape of the monthly prizes. The plan is
now before the finance committee, and we
hope that it will be reported and favorably
acted on tonight

TIE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL--The vote on
the impeachment articles is TO be taken to-
day. Already the telegraph brings reports of
the declarations of senators in secret session,
in explanation of the vote which they have
resolved to give. The result cannot be con-
sidered, by any means, SIRE. The telegraph
informs us, in a very authoritative style, that
TIumbull and Sherman have declared their
intention to acquit on the first article, and to
convict on the second; but this seems too alb
surd for belief. 1t seems scarcely credible
that men who aspire to the reputation of law
yers would acquit on the main charge and
convict on one which has no signifcancy
without the other. If the President was JUST
fable or excusable in removing Stanton, the
appointment of Thomas was necessarily justi-
fable or excusable.
Senator Grimes, it is stated, proclaims
himself Opposed to the whole thing" Mr..
Fessenden is stated to be for acquittal; and in
regard to the others we have, thus far, no iu-
formation. Arrangements have been made
for transmitting the verdict throughout the
country, by telegraph, es soon as it is given,
and we shall, therefore, not have long to wait
for the result.

1t has been decided by the committee of
the Jockey Club having charge of the coming
matinee and hurdle race TO postpone the
entertainment to Saturday next This
change of time is rendered necessary by the
great demand for invitations, and is also
prompted by the fear that the present disa-
grecable weather may not have entirely dis
appeared by Wednesday, the day previously
fixed. The issuing of invitations will con-
tinue until Thursday, under the auspices of
the committee, who meet daily at 10 o'clock
A. NJ, at No. 14e Common street. The invi-
tations already issued for Wednesday will, of
course, remain good for the Saturday enter
tajnment. We are under obligations to the
committee for complimentary badges, enti-
ting the weerer to participate in the festivi-
tics of the occasion.

The ENGLISH MINIsTRY.-The ministerial
crisis in England seems to be at an end for
the present. After the last decisive vote on
the Irish Church question, Mr.. Disraeli asked
time to consider his course. He saw the
queen and rendered his resignation, which
was refused. Armed with this expression of
royal confidence, he was prepared to defy the
opposition of the public. If he could not
triumph over his antagonists, he was at least
in a situation to treat with them on basis
approaching equality. At first Mr.. Disraeli's
colleagues intimated an intention of with
drawing from the cabinet, but this difficulty
was obviated, and they were induced to re-
main. Mr. Disraeli declares that he will hold
office until general election takes place, and
it isunderstood that general election shall
occur in the autumn. 1t is provided that
such an election shall be held as soon as the
English reform bill is extended over the three
kingdoms, and as Irish and Scotch bills have
been Introduced, and WILL doubtless, pass with
out material opposition, this arrangement will
obviate the necessity for an immediate disso-
luton of parliament. Mr.. Gladstone may
rest content with the conviction that new
election will bring him into power as the sue
cessor of Disraeli and abstain from pressing
a vote of want of confidence in the ministry
and the Irish church question may be settled
without being regarded as essential either on
one side or the other
