Gen. Grant is the recipient of pay and
emoluments equal 20 $4,000 per year.
Not long ago he received gift of &c.
OO0in bonds from admirers in New
York. From Philadelphia friends he
received splendid house, completely
furnished, worth ESQ, 900, and from other
sources he has received valuable pre-
sents which make his private fortune
exceed aquarter of q million of dollars.
Raised thus from poverty to wealth, he
no longer preserves an identity as the
plain, simple man, who q few years ago
was an unObserved and ,inconsequential
citizen of Galena.

The writ of gao tcGrrGnto against
Mayor Conway did not come up fortrial
as anxiously anticipated by Mr.. Heath,
the would-be contestant. Gen. Buchan-
an has decided that as Mr.. Heath was
not acandidate for the Mayorality-not
having received a single vote for the po-
sition-he, therefore, has no right to
contest the election; and by proving
Mayor Conway's ineligibility, does not
establish his claims; that he was never
elected by the people, but appointed
by military authority and subject to
the will OF the same. So Mr.. Conway is
still Mayor Of New Orleans--or was at
last aceOnnas~-snd the world moves as

receiving the encouraging smiles OF
the fair sex and just praise Of all pre-
sent. The Dinner was gotten up in the
most magnificent, and sumptuous style
|-refecting much credit upon the ele-

tempting viands and delicious edibles,

sweet ringing laughter and an occa-,

eyes that "looked love again in RETURN"

and lustre to the fairy scene-and help
matters and things on, generally, to a
considerable extent, more or less-pro,

on several present for speeches. Col,
Hyams, however. responded in a few
happy and appropriate remarks; after

Long may the many pleasing remin-
iscences of this convivial gathering be
and cherished as one among
the many similar notable events in the
history of time-hoDored Natchitoches.

Editorial, or what is now known as
the "leading article in newspaper or

history of the press, and was introduced
from necessity, rather than improve
ment. Mr.. Macaulay states that it sell

of the press expired in 1926, unless
there was n want OF news. When there
was scarcity of intelligence, when the
mail failed to arrive, when no stage
coach had been stopped by highwayu.en,
when no great riot had occurred, aud
when, consequently, it was difficult to
fill mp the paper, then the editor supplied

GRANT A TYRANT.---Grant is essen
tally q tyrant. AS late as 1867, two
years after the war closed he suppressed
the Richmond, IVA, Enquirer, because
he did not like its political course. Its
editor (Mr. ,Poilard) had ali interview
with him, which he thus reported:
sit was evident that 1 had nothing to
hspe from him, tor he said to me ex-
pressly that if he had the authority he
would that day suppress the New York
News, the Cincinnati Enquirer and the
chicago Times, adding that the "Cop-
perhead papers of the NortL,'' as he
designated them, were doing quite as
much harm as the papers in the South.
r Tho only reason, therefore, that pre-
vents HIM from establishing n general
censorship over the press North as well
as South, is the want OF authority. He
dmIts abe has the disposition. Appeals
to reason and conscience, which he can
not answer, he would silence with the
brute force of a despot. Such is Gen.
Grant.
