The President Upon Removals from Once
None but Competent, Faithful Oaicials to be
Retained.
From the Evening Postl
A gentleman who spent an evening recently with
the President at his request, says that ne talked
tie dlspeasure at the manner in which he had been
imposed upon by men whom he had thought could
be trusted, by whom ne was induced
into making appointments many Of which
had since proved to be improper ones. The
remedy was in his own hands, however,
and he would hesitate to 1t to purify the SER
vice from incompetent dishonest men. In the be-
ginning Of his administration he had made the mis-
take Of promising under strong political pressure
candidates were totally unit for the positions they
sought. In future no one would know whether he
was to be appointed until his commission was
signed unless 1t was some person whom he personally
knew, 1t was his duty to have one in Office even in
a subordinate capacity, who is not rully quained to
perform its duties In the best possible manner. In
order to do this 1t would be necessary to remove in
many cases of1cers only recently appointed but he
would not hesitate TO end their official days though
in doing so he probably would be severely censured
bv many leading republicans. Whether his admins
tration was successful would depend much upon
under the management OF Secretary Boutwell,, he
felt assured would II possible be done.

splendid land in the northern section of
our city, for which they have lately been
offered $780, 900, and which they refrls-

are rising, on the direct line to Newark,
and are already meeting with ready

DEPARTURE OF A CUBAN EXPE-
DTTTON

We published, a week ago to-day, the
fact of the departure of an expedition
for Cuba from this city on the Wednes-
day night previous, together with other
exclusive intelligence concerning the
activity of the Cuban agents in New
York. We have since learned the fol-
lowing interesting and important par
ticulars of this expedition The YES
sci was the famous fast-sailing schooner
Grapeshot, memorable for the part she
took in the capture of Lewis Baker,
indicted for the killing of William Poole.
She sailed from Hunters Point, where,
for a week previous, she had undergone
extensive repairs on the marine railway,
foot of Seventh ST., under the superin-
tendence of Messrs. Boggs & Davis. As
her object and destination were kept
perfectly secret, she excited little or no
curiosity among the few frequenters of
that neighborhood.
The schooner was heavily loaded
with boxes containing arms and NUM-
tons of war, consisting of muskets,
rifles, fixed ammunition of all kinds,
howitzers, harness, &C., besides mum.
Der of barrels containing about ,000,-
600 rounds of cartridges. These were
placed in the hold, taxing it to its ut
most capacity, while the deck was load
ed with boxes containing harness and
other light articles, with the necessary
water casks for the voyage. On the
night of her sailing, so men were taken
on board, together with the necessary
provisions, and the vessel quietly sailed
on her hazardous undertaking under
the command of Capt. Kempton, form
erly Of the United States Navy. The
Grapeshot has probably reached her
destination ere this. The vessel, it is
understood, was fitted out under the
auspices of the Cuban Junta of New
York city.-[Tribune.

rea.. Our merchants and tradesmen,
of course we have reference exclusively
to those who advertise in the DAILY
MONITOR, are doing their best to re-
tain all trade at home, where it right
fully belongs. Therefore it behooves
our people to give them all the encour-
agement possible, in order that they
may be enabled to do still larger bust
ness, and sell atstill lower prices. Those
who are most prosperous, can afford to
sell lower than the dull cold fogy,
who never advertises.
