AS we expected, the Grant and Ross
affair is not SO bad as at first reported
We intimated as much in our account
last week. 1t was not like Grant or Ross
either to have such a war of words, and
then the fact that the principal accounts
came from those two unreliable papers
the New York WOrld and St. Louis Re.
publican, Was enough to stamp the &C.
counts as exaggerations or wholesale
falsehoods.
The Missouri Democrats Washing
ton letter puts the matter right in the
following language:
Senator Chandler, who was present
when Senator Ross had the intervie "
with the President, of which such SEN
satioD was made by a. New York paper,
says that the conversation on each side
was in very low tones, and with no APP
parent excitement; that when il closed,
Ross took leave in the most courteous
manner, TO which the President respond
ed rs courteonsly. Its understood that
the President declined TO do what the
Senator desired, but, beyond the earn
est presentation of case ON one side.
and refusal On the other, and all couch
ed in proper Language, there is no foun-
datiou for the story in circulation.

While the world wonders at the pa
thence that pays nearly million q year
for bad government, one of its subor-
dinates-a mesh, as it were, of the huge
net-having in charge thief, prison.
ward bound, let him go. This is what
the over scrupulous said, and it being.
even in New York, Il crime to Illustrate
law BY giving criminals the slip, the
offending deputy sheriff, Moran, was
called to account. Aud now comes the
queerest part of the story. Moran
threatened the sheriff with an exposure
of the workings of his office, thus
promising 10 throw a light upon very
dark subject The sheriff up to the
hour of trial defied his mutinous dep
uty and challenged the exposure which
the latter threatened. But deep con-
sulEltion between the attorneys for
either party resulted in a plea of
''guilty" from Moran, on the condition
that his pardon should be procured
from Gov. Hoffman. The judge then
sentenced him to four years imprison-
ment, from which it is proposed to res
cue him by the Executive intervention.
Thus will the secrets of the Sheriff's
Office be kept inyioiatc and the rascally
Moran be allowed to persist in his law
cheating. With Reals escape from the
we'll mcrited gallows, this additional
illustration of the ease with which
crime mocks the efforts of justice in
New York, should be embalmed as
growth of Democratic Chi
cage Republican.

SENATOR ROSS MAKES A POINT.

1t was stated bv the kilograms last
week that j. L. Worden had been ap-
pointed postmaster at Lawrence in
place of J. X. Rankin. The appoint
ment ofMr. Wortlen, however, failed to
be confirmed, Senator Ross fighting it
bitterly. The telegram furnishes the
following account of the matter:
''There was heated debate over the
confirmation ola man for Postmaster at
Lawrence, Kansas, nominated at the
request of Senator Pomeroy, in place of
tho Republican already in the the office,
supported by Senator Ross. Senator
Pomeroy tried i'll his usual oily way TO
GARY his point, but Senator Ross rested
his case upon the custom and etiquette
OF the Senate, and claimed that lac was
perfectly justified in insisting that Sena-
tor Pomeroy's attempt to control every
ti.ing should not be sustained. After a
long debate the Senate sustained Sena-
