THE PRESIDENT ELECT ON PUBLIC MEN.
The "Fat Contributor" telegraphs the
following information to the Cincinna-
ii Times:
have just had an interview with
Gen. Grant, and obtained some Of his
ideas of public men, not given in the
opinions published in the New York
World, which l herewith send you.
Ben. franklin is unquestionably a
rapid type-sticker, and his enterprise in
collecting the latest news renders him
invaluable to an almanac, but he is
visionary. His theory about light
ming rods protecting houses and barns
during thunder storm, is one of the
most absurd things ever heard of.
Old Parr, is a young man of brilliant
talents and ambitions, but he ought to
take better care of himself. l fear that
he is Fastening t., an early grave.
Washington is an efficient General of
Militia, aud one Of our most civil engi-
neers. Many have censured him for
that little affair with his fathers cherry
tree, but l think it is time for us to bury
the Ratchet.
have never seen Webster yet,
though have read his dictionary. 1t is
not surprising to me that a man of so
many words couldn't be President.
l consider Col. Crockett to be our
greatest American humorist, next to

The NEW INDIAN SENAToR.-HOn.
Daniel ID. Paatt, the newly elected Sen
ator from Indiana, is Il lawyer, and has
taken first rank among the profession of
Indiana. He was member XLIst Con-
gress, and has often been a member of
the State Legislature of his State. The
Cincinnati Commercial thus speaks of
him:
Mr.. Pratt. is n man Of commanding
personal appearance, being six feet and
three or four inches high, and weighs
orer three hundred pounds. He has a
remarkably strong voice, though not in
the least harsh or unpleasant. He was
secretary of the Chicago Convention in
1860, and was probably the only man in
that assemblage who could make hi IL
self heard and understood throughout
the wigwam and many who were
present on that occasion will know who
he is when we say that he is the man
who had the prodigious voice.
Many amusing stories in connection
with his powerful lungs were told at
that time. He is not only an able, but O
pleasant speaker; but whether in the
courthouse or on the stump, always
commands the most marked attention
In private life, man of pure morals, in
public life enjoying the confidence of all
for integrity. and as a man of enlarged
and liberal views as an orator worthy
of the best attention of men of infOrma
ton and business the State of Indians
has done herself honor by placing Dan,
iel ID. Pratt in the Senate of the United
states.

Mr. Johnson can scarcely be aware OF the
extent OF this repugnance to War, and this sin
gle wish to save only the natioaal honor, when
ne tells tho good people Of Manchester that a
war must be vastly more disastrous to this.
country than to his own. There is not the
necessity ior ihipartiug eucn calcula-
ton into the controversy. The material results
are really out OF the question altogether. We are
quite aware that in the event of war we should
not be able to render cffectual aid to our Cana
dian dominion, and that our felloW-subjects out
there would either have to fight at terrible di ,-
advantage, or mortify our pride by anticlpat-
ing defeat and yielding to terms. In m lteri-
al point Of view, that would be no loss to this
country. The suggestion that numerous Ala
bamas would soour every OCEAN In search of
che British flag, and lie III wait in the crowded
track OF our Australian galeons, is o thought
OF retaliation that must be only too natural.
But neither ls the menace necessary, nor is it
80 cersaln that we should find the odds against
us in this kind Of warlaro. Our ancestors were
robbers and pirates, ana the Americans are q
step IL. further from that origin than we
chain. Two ships did all the mountain
OF mischief that is laid to our charge, and If it
is strange that they could be allowed to get
out OF our ports, 1t is very much stranger that

crime charged against those privateers
was chat they were British in every re-
spect whatever, except a flag, and a captains

cans are TO do on colossal scale what they
failed to do in miniature. By their own esti-
