The GRANT FAMILY AND CoRBIN.-The Washington
correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial under
date Of the 29th gives little gossip about family
affairs, which, considering the important position and
standing of the family, is net without interest. He
gives his word that the President and Mrs. Grant
have ceased all social connection with their rela-
tive, Mr. A. R. Corbin, of New York. for his duplcity
in connecting them with the New York gold conspr-
acy. This gossiping correspondent says that when
Grant sold his house, in Washington City, to General
Sherman he gave his wife twelve thousand dollars of
the proceeds, which she forthwith transferred to Cor
bin, then present in Washington, on his bridal trip,
to be used in New Jersey real estate speculation.
This is the only money ever given to him by any of
the Presidents family, and is not improbable that
he used it for the purpose to convey to Fisk and Gould
the impression that he was the broker of the Grant
family It is certain that he did convey such i'm
preston to them and that they greatly influenced
by it in their operations The sale of gold finally dis
PEELED it. and disclosed Corbn in all the hideous du-
plicty of his character.

which would have as much business as they

which would have as much business as they
could accommodate.
Hon. John Lynch, in response to question,
said he understood that survey of the route
from Rochester to Concord had been COM
meneed. and so far it had the most favorable
character.
w. G. Ray, Esq, thought the projected route
from Rochester to Rutland would be more
direct one than the Portland and Rutland
route, as he could show by the map. He was
in favor of building both routes, and also that
the Ogdensburg route should be built. The
more roads Portland has to connect with her
the greater will be her business and prosperity
7. c. Hersey, Esq, was satisfied that the
proposed road would be good one, bringing
business to Portland. Still he thought that
Portland was SO deeply engaged in other i'm
portant routes, that 1t could not be expected
she would offer so much aid to the Conssrd
route as she would otherwise. But they had
the sympathies and best wishes of our people
in their undertaking.
On motion of A. X. Shurtleff, Esq, the invi'
taiion of Mayor Stevens for committee to
visit Concord and other places on the proposed
route was accepted, and the President was re-
quested to appoint committee of eight for
that purpose.
The President appointed Hon. William L.
Putnam, Hon. VIM. P. Fessenden, Hon. John
Lynch, Gen. s. j. Anderson, A. K. Shurtlef,
Esq, 7. G. Hersey, Esq, Hon. I. Washburn
Jr., and. Jonas H. Perley, Esq, as said com
mittee.
The committee will leave here in the first
train for Rochester on Monday morning, june
14th. From Rochester they will be taken, in
carriages, 10 Concord, arriving there on the
same evening. Tuesday they will 60 to Glare.
mont and Cavendish, VT, and thence be taken
by special train to Rutland, arriving there
Tuesday evening.

Coon SfAoxo Exdrtst. Mr. Martin Green
of St. Joseph, Michigan, is an intelligent and
enthusiastic cult;vator of fruit His influence
and example have done much to promote
fruit-culture, in that part OF the State where
he resides. We have heard him mentioned by
some OF his fellow citizens, in terms of respect
and admiration, on this account. He has
extensive orchards of plums, peaches, apricots,
cherries, pears, and apples, which have at
tracted much attention, and which are very
valuable. 1t is stated in the Michigan papers,
that, one night last week, about fifteen hun
bred of his choicest trees were cut, hacked,
and girdled by sneaking, cowardly wretches,

MASSACHUSETTS LEGIsLATIoN.-Democr
rule in Boston has SO corrupted the police that
the Legislature has been compelled to inter
fere, and a metropolitan police bill has been
introduced in the House. New York was long
ago obliged to take its own metropolis in hand
by similar means. A few more years of Dem
ocratic rule in Portland would no doubt i'm
pose upon our lawgivers at Augusta like du-
ty. A similar measure having reference to
Hartford and New Haven is already being dis
cussed in Connecticut.
The senate has at length passed the liquor
law, leaving lager beer under the ban with
spirituous liquors. Cider alone is exempted
from the operation of the law.
The sensitiveness of the Boston ear has he
come SO great in consequence of the approach
ing unprecedented "noise,' otherwise known
as the Peace Jubilee, that the denizens Of that
promising burgh have induced the Legislature
to pass an act which empowers the municipa,
authorities to regulate organ-grinding and
other street minstrelsey. A bill to enfranchist
the Indians in the State has been introduced
in the House.

THE most comical thing that has occurred
in the newspaper world this year is that af-
forded by the English Saturday Review, which
charges the grave, imperturbable, passionless
New York Nation with exhibiting "a blind
and hysterical fury" whenever England is
mentioned. Only the constant readers of the
Nation, can duly appreciate the joke and the
perplexed reply of the Nation which says that
cit is difficult to know how to deal with as
sertions of this kind"
