THouGn THERE is no possible likelihood that
General Grant, or any of his intimate friends,
will listen to propositions for appointments until
some months later, the friends of genteinen con-
tinue to canvass their names for the places in the
gift of the general Government For Postmaster,
Lieutenant James Lewis, VIM. NJ. Pyle, and COL
A. II. Grimshaw have already been mentioned.
Samuel Barr is also spoken of. For Collector OF
the Port, Lewis Thompson, DR.. w. d. Noen,
Thos. NJ Rodney, and W. Fl edward are spoken
of; and for U. s. Marshal, the names of Lent
John Dunn, and James c. Akin have been given

There is of course no especial reason why
people should not recommend their friends fol
appointment now as well as next March, except
that it seems rather more decorous to wait. Be
sides it throws a mournful gloom over the eoun
tenances of the present incumbents to max,
these active preparations for their funeral, beicr,
the official breath has left their body.

TO The Editor OF the NoW York 7ri.
bune: Mr-On my return home from the
session Of Nov. 10, find nearly Il hundred
Democratic papers from al. sections of the
Union, sent me by friends, containing vile
and scurrilous speech against foreigners, said
to have been delivered by me in 1854 or 500,
and which appears TO have been published,
simultaneously and by concert, North and
South, East and West, in the closing weeks
OF the recent canvass.

nant libel, now that the election is over,

published, from Maine to Nebraska, and
vouchcd for as authentic by editors who
were supposed to value their character ior
veracity, some honest persons of one party
or the other, whose good opinions | value,

Allow me, therefore, TO say, AS did pub
licly IN this Stnte last month, when this
calumny against me first appeared, that il is,
IN opery toord and syllable, a ,forge,y ,
th@t neper uttered such sentiments in
1851, nor in any other year, and that tho
vulgar and scurrlous language embodied in
II never fell from my lips, nor were written
by my pen, i'll that or any other connection,
on that or any other theme.
Precisely this same speech was printed by
the Democratic papers in this State mum.
Der of years ago, and then attributed to Mr.

Congress; but, having been thus used with
effect one campaign, it was revampod in the
recent canvass, with my name attached to it
by the same editors, every of one whom
knew that il was impossible for mt to us,
such vile language in Il speech on any sub

CAN TT Re DONEs

1t Is asked whether Suffrage Amendment
to the National Constitution Gan be passed
through Confzess, and adopted by thebfateA
In the nsnnsr necessary. We think I cas.
THE two1thirds vote In Congress we have;
Indeed 1e arc likely to have It in the next
one. As to the three-fourths of the States,
the case stands thus:-
There arc 81 States, including Virginia,
Mississippi and Texas which have not yet
been re-admisted To these, at this session,
Colorado In all probability be added,
making SO. Three-fourths of these are 20,
which, to make the matter conclusive, and
beyond cavil, must ratity the Amendment.
We now have Republican majorities in the
Legislatures of the following States:-Aln-
bana, Arkansas, Connecticut, Florida, I'LL
nois, Indiana, lows, Kansas, Louisiana,
Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota,
Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hamp-
shire, North Carolina, New York, Pcnnsyl-
vania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Ten
nessee, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin,
making total of 20, and lacking 8. But in
the whole number, we have counted Colora-
do, which is Republican, and will make ~,
so we need only 2. The States against us
are California, Ohio, Oregon, Delaware,
New Jersey, Georgia, Kentucky, and Mary
land. OF these, we are almost certain to
get Ohio, and very likely to get New Jersey,
next fall, with chance of carrying Califor-
pia and Oregon. Georgia, too, was Repub-
lican, hut the colored members were ex-
PEELED, not being permitted to vote in their
own cases. So we surely have almost q
certainty Of two, out of the lot. But tc
these are also to be added the three unrecon'
| structed or these, it is certainly reasona
bic to conclude that Virginia and Mississip
pi will be Republican, and with protection
to the Union men Of Texas, such as they
will have under President Grant, there is ne
certainty that it will fall into rebel hands
This then makes the summary =

Republican in prospect, Colorado, Ohio

THE VA T7oNAL BOARD or IRA DE


By the Constitution adopted in the organi-
cation of the National Board of Trade, it is
required that all propositions to be discussed
at the Annual Convention shall be proposed
and communicated to the constituent Boards,
at least sixty days previous to its meeting.
The propositions to be considered at Cincin-
natl, at the approaching Convention, are as
follows e.
Concerning Cash Bales Of Produce the
Chicago Board recites the custom of selling
Produce, &C., in the seaboard cities, nomin-
ally for cash, but really on from five to fif-
teen days credit, whereby the Western con-
signer often lose by this credit sale, or must
pay his consignee largely for a guaranty OF
the proceeds. 1t is therefore proposed TO
adopt a uniform system of strictly cash sales
The st. Louis Board propose declaration
in favor of an early return to specie pay
ments, and the adoption Of measures to that
end, by the National Government. They
propose action by the General Government
to remove all distractions in the navigation
Of the Mississippi and its tributaries and 10
take such measures as shall make the COM
merce thereon as free as possible. They
also recommend Congress to adopt the tele-
graph lines as part of the postal system; the
declaring of Chicago, St. Louis, and Cincin-
natl to be ports of entry and a subsidy by
Congress to the Union Pacific Railway, E.
d 1.-THE Kansas road, to secure its building
as distinct line to the Pacific.
The New York Produce Exchange 'spro.
"poses the spbject of the restoration of the
United States flag to the Ocean from which

The New ENGLAND STATES will, of course,
be accorded member Of the new Cabinet.
lftheir Republicans, with general unanimi-
~, shall agree upon one man as their repre-
sentative, certainly that fact would be likely
to have great weight with President Grant.
Ii is therefore very gratifying to find in the
Boston advertiser, paper not hitherto es-
pecially friendly to Mr.. Sumner, but at one
time rather disposed to look favorably upon
the proposition to make Charles Francis
Adams U. S. Senator from Massachusetts,
The following decided language-
Mr.. Sumner besides has peculiar and
eminent qualifications for a minister of for
eisn affairs, which would make his appoint
ment acceptable to the country quite apart
from political considerations. His chair
manship of the Senate committee of foreign
relations, for many years, and the conspic-
uous intelligence and breadth of view with
which the duties Of that responsible post
have been discharged, will give him a very
strong claim to consi eration when the time
comes for making the new government. We
do not know thai Mr.. Sumner would accept
this position, or indeed any other than the
one he now holds. But the President will
hardly find amongt the statesmen around him
one whose acquaintance with contemporary
history, and whose enlightened and liberal
Judgement in matters of international inter
est would inspire greater confidence at home
or abroad"

Mr. Gilbert Murdoch has recently returned
to his home in Annapolis Nd, after an alb
sence of g years during which time he lead
life as eventful as that of the hero of any
romance The Annapolis Examiner speak
ing of him, says:-
I'm 1916 he left here under Major Emory,
u. s. army, to assist in establishing the Uni
ted States boundary line between California
and Mexico. Soon after their arrival the
appropriation became exhausted, and Mr..
NJ. received an appointment in the custom
house ut Monterey. Retiring from this po-
sition after years service, he spent one
year as mayor Of the city, and four years as
public auctioncer. Marrying Miss Flegg,
| he shipped as II passenger to the Sandwich
| Islands, and soon alter spent five years in
aucti0ncering in Melbourne Australia, as u
member of the firm of Mcpherson IL Co.
Purchasing the brig "Marion Ellen" he
started in company with his wife and child
for n trading voyage, but was wrecked on n
reef not laid down on charts of navigation.
His wife and child were drowned before
his eyes on this reef. Coasting one of the ia
va Islands, he was taken prisoner by the
savagcs. but after eight weeks in company
will, another prisoner, escaped, put to sea
in canoe, was picked up by a friendly YES
sci and taken 60 Australia Impoverished
by misfortune, he undertook the labors of a
miner. After spending considerable time
in this dangerous and undesirable avocation,
he rejoiced in receiving from the American
consul letters forwarded to him by Secretary
seward, from his mother and surviving
friends in this city, enclosing drafts to him
TO return. He Immediately shipped via Cal
lao, Panama and Aspinwal for New York,
and after voyage of SO days was welcomed
by his friends in this city on the evening of

foREpAuGH's MENAGERIE IN THE FLAMES
TIGERS RUN LOOSE AND WOLVES OCCUPY
PEOPLES PARLORs.
In Philadelphia, on Saturday evening,
Roscoe, Clark a. Co.'S planning mill, and u
large brick building containing Forepaugh's
Menagerie, were burned. They were loca-
ted on Ridge Avenue. Concerning the lat
ter, the report of the Ledger says =
In this building, lions, tigers. MONKEYS
and other animals were kept in cages or box
es which had been constructed for tempora-
ny use. Fortunately, Mr.. Forepaugh was at
his dwelling, Immediately opposite, when
the fire was first discovered, and he ut once
commenced tumbling the cages or boxes
from the building into the street, while those
outside removed them from the vicinity of
the fire. While thus engaged Bengal and
BRAZILIAN tiger made their escape; The
former made his way to Mr.. Bryan's stables,
in the vicinity, the crowd on the street civ
ing way with great promptncss, where he
was secured the BRAZILIAN tiger ran along
Jefferson street, until he reached the house
OF DR.. Gebler, near Twenty street
here several ladies were standing at the door
put the tiger passed by them and through
the hall into the kitchen, where he remained
until recaPturcd by one of Forepaugh's men.
The box containing the lion was SO much
damaged that it was with great difficulty
that the animal could be kept until another
box was obtained and the lion secured. The
excitement Mt this time was very great. as n
rnmor spread through the crowd that The
hon had made his escape, and was rushing
turiously down the street. A large white
Florida wolf got out of box, and made Ills
way through the crowd withot attracting
much attention, and about nine o'clock in
me evening he was met by gentleman at
Nlneteeeth and Callowhill streets. The gen
tleman took the wolf for dog, and the wolf
no doubt mistook the gentleman for one of
those connected with the menagcre, for, as
the gentleman opened the front door, the
VOL entered the house; but as soon as he
came under the gaslight in the hall his
character and standing in the animal crea-
lion was known. The gentleman not feel
ing disposed to use force to remove the in /.
truder, opened the parlor door and the wolf
passed in the door was closed, and the ami
mai was allowed to pass the night unon tho
soft Brussels. Word was sent to Mr. Fore.
paugh early yesterday morning and the wolf
was taken away. The cages, wapons
&c, were under shedding in the rear Of BIOS
and between the saw-mill, and these ~
cages, 10 baggage and other wagons, new
buggy, pay wagon, canvass, seats, l22 sets of
harness, wardrobe, saddles, banners. &C.
were entirely destroyed, involving a loss ~
ny, o00, upon which there was no insurance.
Inc building in which the animals were was
completely Quilted.

PmiLADELpHIA's PERIODICAL ErFoRrs to cs-
tablish foreign steamship line have long been
subject of satirical comment. Still the desire
has not been entirely eifaced, and at the Board
of Trade meeting, on Monday evening, Mr.. Sou
der, Chairman of the Committee in reference to
steam transportation, stated that after repeated
interviews with the officers of the Pennsylvania
Central road he thought il safe to affirm that, at
no distant day, line of steamers TO Liverpool
would be placed in service. With regard to a
North German line, he stated that frst.class
line Of steamships is now being fitted out be-
tween Altoona and either New York or Phadel-
phia on this side; that Philadelphia might secure
them by sufficient subscription and effort, but
that he was not prepared to propose any line Of
action.
The line Of steamers Ia the Southern ports
seems to be unfortunate, second one having
been totally wrecked. dispatch from Havana,
yesterday, states the total loss of the Star of he
| Union, On the coast of Cuba. The passengers
and crew were saved. As the line had been la
boring under difficulties previously. this new

TliE MARQUIS OF HASTINGS is dead. This
young man was the representative of one of the
oldest families Of the English nobility Born
heir to princcly fortune and an honored name,
he lived life of prohigacy and debauchery ,
devoted Ills whole time to horse-racing lost at 1t
millions of dollars, and even what is called the
honor of the turf, and at 20 died in misery, pov-
erly and disgrace bankrupt in character and
fortune.
This is a sad case; but aside from the ruin oi
the young mans character and health, we see no
cause TO regret the result. Extravaganza is
doubtless sin for those guilty Of II, but any.
thing which tends TO break the Golfers in which
have for so long been locked nearly all Of Eap-
innd wealth, cannot but benefit, ultimately, the
oppressed poor of that country. If extravaganza

The TRASscRIrT, Democratic paper, pub
lished at Middletown, in the lower end of this
county, has little sympathy with the movement
of the more reckless adventures In the party to
"conciliate' the President elect. 1t says -
General Grant is said to have snubbed some
Washington. We hope he will not be more toll
Grant of the toadies OF tho opposite party, who
are preparing TO thrust Themselves under his
notice."
Abiding to the probable participation of Ger
tain Democratic organizations in theinauguration
ceremonies and the proposed casting OF the unan-
imous electoral vote for Grant, 1t says;-
at lie further gravcly alleged that such course
will be guarantee that should General Grant 8
administration be conservative one he Will be
backed up by the Democracy In his inevitable
quarrel with the extreme branch Of the Radical
party. But what II it should not be conserya-
live! BY their cfiiciousness they would be placed
In nn awkward, unpleasant position, and would
rest under an imputaton of Inconsistency which
would admit of no defence. No guarantee is
needed that the Democrats will sustain the new
Administration, IL it should be conservatives and
we do not think that Democrats need to concern
themselves about General Grant being minority
President, for such thing Is no novelty. With
or without majority OF the whole people, he
