The Chicago Tribune says: "There
never was an administration with better
intentions or less aptitude for carrying
ing them out"
And the New York Tribune says:
1.-TWO months have passed away, and
it can not be affirmed that We have a
strong administration. Its moral pow
er has bceE frittered away by small alb
surdit;es."
OF the Cabinet it says:
Secretary, Fish has come down to US
from a.former generation, but he is not
the man to conduct. our diplomacy
The Secretary of the Treasury has abili-
ty not above mediocrity, and if he should
remain at the head Of the Treasury De-
partment during his natural life, he could
do no more than drift with the tide and
avoid the breakers from hour to hour as
besthe might. Secretary Rawling is IAN
invalid in health and unqualified by train
ing and experience to take the leading
position which circumstances have for
ced upon him in the national administra-
tion.s Secretary Borie SIS, by common
ton or council The balance of the
Cabinet a-e set down 'as, probably com.
petent TO discharge the clerical duties Of
their Offices"
AFTER this summing up and raking
down, the Tribune adds:
1His first mistake was in mot perceiv-
ing that statesmen are required to fill the
places of statesman The second was
his eagerness to appoint relatives to
Office.

The procession at Louisville on Thursday
last in honor of the convention was on more
extensive scale than any ever before witnessed
in Louisville, if not in the West All the va
riOus branches ofmercantile and manufacturing
trades of the city were represented. 1t is es-
timated that the expense incurred by this
grand display was not less than $4,000. There
were 1880 horses and about 500 wagons in the
procession. 1t was in motion two hours, and
passed over distance Of six or seven miles
The only parade Of the sort at all comparable
10 it was that in honor Of General Harrison at
Dayton, Ohio, in the memorable year ls40;
even that great political outpouring was in
ferior in all respects to the vast display in
Louisville. Prominent in the line was what
is said to have been the largest and the finest
ombibus in the world, furnished by the Louis
vile Transfer Company, and drawn by ten
horses, each sliced accompanied by colored
footman, in Turkish costume. On the top of
the omnibus was q temple Of liberty, within
which sat Miss Mary Glass, attired as the God
dess of Liberty. She was supported on either
side by lads representing the army and navy.
Within the omnibus were over forty young
misses. all dressed in white, with wreaths OF
fresh flowers and badges bearing TIE names OF
the States and Territories.

GRANT IND THE GOLD RING.
A Pleasant Assurance from the Prcsi-
dent of the Republic.

Mr.. Robert Bonner, of New York, recently
wrote to General Grant asking him to make a
s.brief denial over his own signature ofall fore
knowledge of the gold combination, in order
to relieve himself entirely from all response
bility for the acts Of Others" Mr.. Bonner
added that those who knew General Grant
personally required no disclaimer; but the
public. whose minds were liable to be warped
by the determined and persistent efforts to
iniure him, would be at once satisfied and
quieted by such statement. The President
replied in the following letter:
WA .INGroN, D. c., October l3.
Robert Bonner. Esq:
DEAR SIR-Your favor of the 18th instant Is
received. have never thought of contradict
inc statements or insinuations made against
me by irresponsible parties, as those as alluded
to in your letter; but as you have written 10
me on the subject, in so kind spirit, d. will
say that had no more to do with the late gold
excitement in New York City than yourself,
or any other innocent party, except that
ordered the sale of gold to break the ring en-
gagged, as l thought, in most disrepnlaDle
transaction. fthe spectators had been sue
cessftl you would never have heard OF any one
connected with the administration as being
connected with the transaction. Yours, truly,
u. S. GRANT.
P. 81 have written this in great haste, and
without exercising judgment as to the pro-
priety of writing it, but l submit 1t to your
Judgment. U. S. G.

THE LAST OF THE PRIFATEEER
CUBA.

WILMINGTON october 19.
The steamer Cuba was libelled to-day, and the
United States Marshal boarded her and demanded
the surrender Of the ship into his hands. Commo-
doreHiggns declined to surrender his ship except
to an offlcer of the United States Navy and under
a direct order from President Grant. After some
delay, Lieutenant Commander Pierson, of the
United States gunboat Frolic, went on board the
Cuba and demanded the surrender Of the vessel
showing an order direct from the President for
the Cuba to be turned over to him. Commodore
Higgins then surrendered his sword and vessel to
Lieutenant Commander Pierson, and himself
prisoner OF war to the Navy of the United States.
The Cuban flag was then hauled down by the
United States authorities, and the entire crew
sent ashore in penniless condition. The affair,
in some Of its aspects, is regarded here as an out
rage, especially the turning loose in our city OF
over one hundred sailors and marines entirely be-
yond the constraint and control of their officers

DIR. A. w. Hall. in lecture last week be-
fore the Polytechnic branch of the American
Institute on the cause Of auroral lights, took
issue with Professor Loomis and other scient-
lists who attribute these phenomena to electri-
cal action. DR.. Halls theory is that the boreal
display is produced by the rays OF the sun,
which are reflected from clouds surrounding
the pole to the ice and snow of the Arct.c re-
gions, and thence again reflected to the
clouds. and so back and forth until 1t comes
within our range of vision. The giancing and
flashing of The columns Of light, he
nolds, are caused by the motion OF
the clouds, an exact correspondence being
traceable, the Doctor contends, between the
movements of the light and those of the
clouds. In confirmation of his theory the
speaker cited the cases of similar displays OF
auroral light in the east just before sunrise,
and in the west just after sunset, when there
are banks of clouds visible from which the
SUMS rays are evidently reflected. The arches
or bows often seen in the north are also easily
explained according to this hypothesis, while
by the electrical theory they are ineXplicable
The detection of the needle and other mag
netic effects, sometimes observed during an
auroral display, are attributed by Dr. Hall to
the fact that the state of the atmosphere most
favorable for these successive reflections OF
sunlight from the pole is also favorable for the
action of the electrical forces which produce
the magnetic disturbances.

next question to come up will he on the merits,
which must necessarily involve the validity OF the
Reconstruction acts, partially at least. With the
very organization of the court at the mercy Of
Congress, there is well-grounded fear perhaps
that the case will be disposed of upon some tech
nical point. The executive and legislative
branches of the government being in manifest
and unchecked conspiracy against the vital prin-
cpes OF the constitution, it would perhaps be eX-
pectng too much, in the opinion OF some, to con-
clude that the other utterly powerless branch
would enter into contest which would probably
end in its own Reconstruction" according to cur
rent Radical usurpations. Yet there are signs in
dicating that majority OF that august tribunal
will do their full duty, irrespective Of its personal
bearing. In apprehension that the writ will not
only be granted, but the petitioner turned over to
the courts upon grounds touching the powers Of
Congress, Forney's Chronicle, the recognized
organ of the administration here, thus threat
ems:
ar asjs now apprehended, the majority OF the
Judges Should assume, In granting this writ, to
declare the acts OF reconstruction unc0nstituton-
al, grave duty will devolve upon the Executive"
The same paper has heretofore declared 1t. to
be not only the "duty," but one that .triu be
cheerJttlly performed by the President III other
words If the court shall decide, twhat it has al
ready, in fact, decided in the Milligan CASEY that
military upstart and his shabby staff cannot in
this country, string up or shoot down at random
citizens, guilty or not guilty, In the midst of
peaceful people amenable to civil legal courts
confessedly open, and where justice according
to the constitution and laws OF the United States
can be and constantly is administered, and shall
further order that the present cuprit shall be
turned over to the proper legal tribunal for trial,
that In that case his EXcelency will issue military
orders to his military satrap, that the mandate

The Radicals have been guilty of many abomina-
tions, but have never yet essayed so glaring and
impudent an assumption as this.
