Cooline of the Grant Feeling

The New York correspondent of the
Boston Post says:
sThe Grant furore is cooling, and may
get down to zero before May next Ru-
fus f. Andrews and the other original
Grant men, who went to Washington the
other day to pump Ulysses and found
him dry, came back half disguised with
their favorite, and somewhat inclined to
fling him off his shoulders. Andrews
and his fellow time servers support, or
pretend to support the President, chiefly
because most Of them live on Treas
ury nap. and as the breach be-
tween johnson and Grant is growing
wider, they begin to think it is
time to draw in their horns Mr.. Stew
arts Grant machine seems to be getting
clogged; at any rate it is not working
near so we'll as when he started it, and
there is some danger that it will break
down altogether. Most of the money
kings were delighted with it at first, but
a number have since come to the con-
clusion that man who gives silent as
sent to every ultraism of the Jacobins is
hardly the person to restore peace and
confidence, and have therefore turned
their backs to the machine, and declared
they won't have any more to do with 1t.
The sober second thought is beginning
to do its work, and Grant stock
certainly shows declining tendency.
At the great anti-Radical meeting at
Cooper Institute last week, Grants name
went down in torrent of Kisses, and
did not get as much as one cheer. 1t is
very plain fact that the enthusiasm
stirred up by his peculiar affair with
Stanton has greatly diminished, and no.
where | think, has the cooling been
more marked and rapid than here in
New York.

elsewhere are now called Marshall

Circulars are being sent around by
parties in New York, addressed to per-
sons claiming to have drawn prizes in
the various lottery schemes so prevalent
of late, and which prizes they have not
received. These parties say they will
recover the prizes for claimants, if the
sum of 81 is forwarded to them. This
plan may entrap some of the unwary. 1t
is evidently confidence game of the
same stamp as the lotteries themselves
The 81 required to be RENTED will, in
all probability, take the same direction
as the one dollar or the five dollars pre-
viously paid for the tickets in the lottery,
viz: into the pockets of the spectators,

Nor could wo change position.
Although wd deemed an angel seemed

The cherry's blow her lips did show.
With smile as infant dreaming.
And twice a cone was plainly known,
In spite OF all the hiding.
To firm have grown upon the throne
In Loves own homo abiding.
And Heavens sheen beneath the screen

Tic losses were equal each side having about nifty

The Marquis OF Santa Lucia and other rebel officers

turing 400 horses, with loss OF only man killed
and six wounded.
Rebe, accounts OF the battle at Moron represent
that the spaniards lost 100 killed. while the rebels
had only twenty twenty killed. Rebel sympathizers
also claim that Balmaseda was defeated ut Mount
Alta Gracia. Private letters from near the scene OF
battle contradict the latter report and partially
