THE DTsCoMFITED DANA.
A .'afsshty Mad" Eadicas.
-, .,I,a Na,r Yorl< Sun. 4


The New York correspondent Of the
Springfield Republican says that the rea-
son he has not got an Office Is that ne
"did not happen TO be born in the Dent
family" It is singular how universal
the impression, has become that General
Grant confers Offices on his relations,
without much regard to their fitness,
and with no regard at all to the pro-
priety of thus using his official power.
But, speaking of the Dent connection,
we suppose that the remark above
quoted does some injustice to
that highly respectable family.
There is not one of them
in the Cabinet, and there cannot be
more than seven or eight on whom mi
nor offices have been bestowed. The
Collectorship of New Orleans, now held
by Mr.. Casey, who married Dent, and
the Office of Assistant Private Secreta-
ry to the President, occupied by that
gallant soldier and most courteous gen.
tleman, General Frederick t. Dent, are,
we think, the most important places
that he has given them. So that, con-
sideriug the number of offices which
they hold, we regard the filings at the
Dents which have become SO fre-
quent in the journals lately as exces-
sive and upjustifable. Nor is there
any good reason for singing them out
as favored beyond the blood rela-
tions of General Grant in the distribu-
tion of these rich official favors. When
we take into account the nomination of
the Hon. Silas A. Hudson, of Burling-
ton, Iowa, to be Minister to Guatemala,
a nomination whose sole reassn is that
Hudson is first cousin to the President,
we must admit that General Grant ex-
hibits due impartiality among those
having claims upon him, and selects
with just as well as liberal hand,
from all who are connected with him by
marriage or by birth, those especially
worthy to enjoy the public dignities
and emolnments that are in his gift.

Horrible.

The New York World insinuates the
horrible suspicion, that the "Quakers,"
appointed by GRANT with the two mil
lions of dollars in their pockets, to civ.
ilize the Indians, are not genuine broad
brims and sbadbellies, but lOil "blud-
tubs" who have assumed the garb of

THE TOMB OF AARON.

In the unbroken rest
Of dreamless Death, he sleeps,
Upon the mountains crest,
Where melancholy eve first weeps;
The vesper star of ages hath looked down
From her translucent throne,
To light the holy memorable sod,
Where lies the great High Priest
He, of the Flowering Rod.
In misty distance lies
The vale or Arabia,
Beneath the arching skies;
Joyless and drear, as on the day
When Earth's resounding voice sent back
the tread
OF IsraePs tribes, each led
By valiant warriors, strong ia faith and
sword,
With their Respondent Priest, ...
The chosen of the Lord.
From chimes, where dying day
Sinks in the western wave,
The traveller comes to pay
a tribute Ger that lonely grave;
And oft the Moslem bends with reverence
there,
While breathe his lips prayer
O'er him who laid his glorious Vestm ents
down,
Breastplate and mitre blue
For an eternal crown.

900 people. Congress thinks
we are unable to take care of
ourselves as a State. When we

Senator Trumbull concluded
the dialogue by remarking that
the laws, at all events, must be
obeyed and upheld, and that
the Chicago party was here on

cal Grand.

In the afternoon the exeur-
sionists visited the four Walker
brothers, ex-Mormons, and the
leading merchants in the Ter
ritory. We received a prince
ly entertainment. Toasts and
speeches were order for a hours.
Most of the Federal officers
were present, besides 4, many
leading Gentle citizens. There
was some plain talk, and all
agreed that the national rail-
way renders it now entirely
within the power of the
government to enforc e
the laws and protect American
citizens here, which has not
hitherto been the case, and that
Grant is just the man to en-
force the laws of the land.
To-day we all went TO the

Brigham Young has not re-
turned the visit of the excur-
sionists, or called on any of
the eminent gentlemen in it,
nor do his disciples seem to
care about cultivating trade
relations with the Gentle mer-
chants. They treat the excur-
sionists with cold and distant
po11teness, anu repeI rather
than invite advances.

beats for us alone, whose tire

interests only, whose fervent
fancies wrought its miracles
solely for our enrichment and
renown.
