General Grant.

In regard to the latest batch Of lies about
General Grant, and an alleged bargain with
the President to retain the War Office in
case the Senate reinstated Stanton the
Washington Correspondent Of the New
York Times writes;
Your correspondent has good reason for
stating that the several members Of the
Cabinet, who are quoted by name in the
last White House charge on General Grant,
are deeply chagrined at being exhibited in
such unfriendly relations to the General,
and one of them, at least, has repudiated
the correctness of the language attributed
to him. Not one of them, moreover, will,
or can, say q word of anything, except that
which occurred during the Cabinet meeting
on Tuesday, the 14th instant, and none Of
them claim that the private and individual
opinions of General Grants previous action
is of any weight as going to show what
! that action was. Their relations with Gen
eral Grant have always been Of pleasant
and agreeable character, and there is no de-
sire on intention on their part that they
should be otherwise.

The Aurora Oil Test.

On Wednesday last, in company with number
of gentlemen and at the solicitation of the Tennes
see Oil Refining Company, we attended and wit
messed the test of the Aurora Oil, and also OF tine
Coal Oil manufactured by said company. A guam
tlty OF coal oil-say one quart-was put into basin
and lighted paper applied TO the fluid which was
Immediately oxtin,aIsfed ny OIL, as eTectuany
as water would have done it. The same quantity
OF Aurora Oil was tried In the same manner which
Immediately ignted and burned as hercey as the
same amount of alcohol or spirits of turpentine
would have done. Next was tried the lamps one
of Coal Oil, the other of Aurora Oil. The Coal
Oil lamp was lighted and turned downward, the
blaze from the wick coming il contact with the oil,
and the lamp broken, and the flaming wick and oil
all coming to the ground together, causing fame
but on the contrary, the OIL put out the fame Just
as water would have done. The Aurora Oil lamp
was tried in the same way, and before the fluid
reached the earth, was in blaze rad the water
poured on the fame to extingush it, seemed % aug
ment it. The next experiment was made in ex-
plodiDg barrels with Aurora Oil. The barrels were
new, virgin barrels; we mean by that that they had
never been used for any purpose. The first barrel
tested did not explode, owing 20 the fact that tho
barrel had been made for some time and was not
air tight, allowing the gas to escape through the
joints. The second test, the bung stOpple blew out
without any other damage. The third barrel was
then well coOpered and with about four ounces Of
Aurora Oil, one of the heads Of the barrel was
blown about fifty feet, and one iron hoop broken
the barrel making one or two sOmersaults in the
meantime. We left fully convinced ourselves, and
we believe all the rest of the spectators who
not interested in the Aurora OF Company, were
also convinced, that the position taken by Mr. Var

General Granf.

Until since i! has been made manifest that Cen
eral Grant would be nominated by the Radicals rs
their candidate for the Presidency, and that the
General would accept that nomination the Conser-
vAtive Rebel papers Of the country were full Of
his praises Scarcely any journal Of this party bat
lauded him a great and good man and the saw
Jour Of the nation or these papers there we're few
more fulsome in their praises Of Grant than the
| Louisville Journal.
Hear how the journal aoV speaks Of Grant. In
its Of February s it endorses the terms liar'
and "pneak, which had been applied to him. and
in referring to his relations to the President and
his surrender Of the war Office to Stanton the Jour
nal says
He proved himself no true officer or man He
showed himself capable Of treAchery involving
falsehood. DO cannot eKtricAte himself, be eI-
tricated by his friends from his disgraceful posi-
ton II is evident that insane rage for the Pre-
sdency has full possession Of him as the devils
had of the herd Of swine and that he hos RICH
teols moral g.saty strong enough 10 enable him 10
0ithStaHd any unworthy temptation that may beset
/ him. BE has done some good service and some
poor service-he isn't ft to be President.
And General Grant was staggering upon the
streets of Washington the other evening under the
! influence Of whisky, the same influence that came
so very near giving the battle Of Shiloh TO the
! South.
Now, that Grant may be considered as fairly on
the track for the Presidency the Republican can
didate there is no crime which these rebel papers
will not impute to him. "Liar," "sneak," "tresch-
cry involving falsehood,p staggering upon tho
streets Of Washington" only few of the grave
charges made against the greatest Captain and SOL
