BUSINESS AT THE WHITE HOUSE,
The Washing on correspondent of the
New York Times thus describes the
working OF the present regime ut the
White House: There never was an ad-
ministration so completely independent
of control by persons o. Influence As
the present. There was never time
probably, when the executive mansion
was so free from hangers-on and kitchen
cabinet ARRANGEMENTS generally. After
/ O'Clock i'll the afternoon the building
assumes the appearance OF a private res
idence. The President refuses to see
callers on business in the evening. The
people who do call pay their respects or
spend the evening in the private parIor
with the President and Mrs. Grant; and
the intercourse on such occasions is
never allowed to approach business, save
when some public necessity brings u
proper representative Ofthe departments
or OF Congress, with mission to tbs
Importance OF which the President him
self fully recognizes. y pure atmosphere,
inspiring u conviction of honesty and
TRUTH, prevails at the White House;
and only those who know what contain
inati0n prevailed under the previous oc-
cupant can fully appreciate the change.
Never was n President more free to do
what is best for the country and the
people at large: and never was Presi-
dent apparently more determined TO per-
form that duty.

THE ELECTIONS.

Elections were held on Tuesday in
New York, Massachusetts,, Minnesota,
Wisconsin, Illinois, Maryland and New
Jersey, but up to the timefo going to

failed TO make its appearance on We'd
