THE Chicago Times very sentiment;

tions have been provided for. Gen.
Badeau, for Assistant Secretary Of
Legation at London, being the last

10000 are I'm England, 100000 In
Scotland, and 80, ,00O I'm Ireland. There
are about 100000 OH the continent of
Europe, 300,OO in the United States,
and $1,000 In other parts of the world.

THERE have becn a half million or
more OF applicants for Office under
Grant; but only one offer of place, SO
far, as is authentically known, has
been declined. J. II. Clay, the negro
for Minister 10 Liberia,
has notified the President that he
can't accept. On the borders OF that
far away republic, where the capacity
OF his race to run government of his
own is on trial, the natives have re-
Gently recurred to an old habit of
Of eating each other; and
the shrewd Clay evidently fears that
he might lie heavy on the stomachs OF
his canuibal brethren, and SO he pre-
fers not 10 become tax on their di-
gestive organs.
The st. Louis Republican makes
an editorial commentary upon the
alleged fact that the Hon. George III.

nent Democrats of New York, had
advised the people Of Virginia, Mis-
sissippi ana Texas 10 "have nothing
to do with the question Of reconstruc.
tion AS proposed in the recent enact.
ment, OF Congress. The fact being
of course the commentary
falls to tire ground. Mr.. PendlctOiI
has rendered tire States In question
no advice. He believes they are the
best judges OF their own situations,
and nothing would induce him 10 be-
In antagonism' with them, or to offer
advice 10 influence their decision.
