In WoST Do.-The mongrePs are
trying to cheer up their disorganized
and demoralized forces, by telling
them that the New York Herald
predicts the success Of Grant and
Colfax. They forget to tell them
that the same paper, in 1874 said that
Jimmy Polk would be the worst beat
en- man that ever run for any position
that in 1852 it said that Gen. Scott
would be elected by an overwheling
majority, and in 1856, predicted the
success Of Fremont beyond doubt.
And its prophecies this yearin regard
to the success Of Grant, will hold Just
about as good as did those others.
If Grant was not the candidate OF the
bondholders, the Herald would de-
clare as it did a few days before bis
nomination, that he "is not blessed

In the Democratic convention at
Chicago, in 1864, resolution was
adopted to the purport that four years
Of war had failed to restore the Union,

make fun Of. Nevertheless, it is fact
that not only four years Of war failed
to restore the Uuion, but three add.

rule have also failed to restore the On.

We have but little now 10 suggest
from our former report. Some of the
obstacles then mentioned have been
to a certain degree removed. The
interest manifested by directors, pa
irons, and teachers, has been greatly
increased, and is productive of much
good. The greatest obstacle is the
want Of sufficient money to carry on
the schools. In number Of districts
the thirteen mills allowed by law to be
raised is barely sufficient to keep the
schools open four months; and in
some, even to do this, directors must
pay low salaries, and hence secure
poor teachers ! would urge upon
directors the importance and necessity

CLADs.-Ne,o York, December ia spc-
cial telegram to the Herald dated New
Orleans, December 18th, states than an i'm
portant Misunderstanding has occurred be-
tween the officers aud crews Of the Peruvian
feet recently fitted out in that city. The
transports are now lying in the Mississippi,
the crews of which were shipped in New
York with the express understanding that
they should be paid two months in advance,
and that they we're to serve under the
United States flag for one year. To-day
the officers of the vessels hoisted the Peru
Wan flag, when the crews mutinied and re-
fused to work the vessels on the ground
that they were no longer under the protec-
tion of the stars and stripes. To-nig ht the
officers attempted by force to compel the
crews to work the vessels to sea; but the
crews refused, and all communication with
them was cut off. The crews then threat
ened that should the attempt be made to
force them to sea they would throw the
officers overheard. This had the desired
effect, and the officers at once appealed to
the police force of the city for assistance.
The police officials declined to interfere, on
the ground that they had no jurisdiction ;
and the conflict between the officers and
crews is progressing.

WASHINGTON, December l4.-Congress
will undoubtedly adjourn from the 2lst Of
December to the 5th of January.
1t is stated that General Grants recep-
tion in New York cost Marshall O'Roberts
$4,000.
A bill was introduced in Congress to-day
authorizing the continuance of the freed
mems hospitals at Richmond, Vicksburg,
New Orleans, and Washington, including
the asylum for aged and infirm freedmen
and orphan children, till June next.
Secretary McCulloch writes General How
ard that freedmen's hospital at New Or
leans is needed, and its re-transfer to the
Government is requested. The Govern
ment is considering the propriety of placing
the hospitals in the hands of the Sisters of
Charity.
There are three inches of ice on the Po-
tomac. The steamer Hi Livingston, from
Baltimore for Washington, has sunk in the
river. Her passengers have arrived here
safely.
The President has nominated H. A.
Smythc as Minister to Russia, and Alexan-
der Cummings, of Philadelphia, as Com
missioner Of the Internal Revenue.
The Reconstruction Committee heard the
Mississippi delegation, but took no action.
Secretary Seward, in reply to congress
sional resolution calling for information
about the Alabama claims, says the nego-
tiations regarding them are just now ar
rested by change Of Ministry but he has
reason to believe the interruption is only
temporary. Under these circumstances he
thinks the publication of the correspond
ence would be incompatible with the public
interests.
Generals Grant and Schofeld and party
have arrived at Chicago. They will return
Saturday.
An immense amount of business was in
troduced into the House to-day under the
regular call; but the time before recess will
now be probably occupied mainly with
eulogies on the members who have died
since the adjournment.
