REPUBLICAN DISSATISFACTION Nuns
bers of the republican Journals have manifest
ed dissatisfaction at the character of General
Grants leading appointments. They continue
to Erumhle. with reference especially to the
foreign missions. The New York Times says:
These appointments have heen too gen.
orally treated as coin for the payment Of per-
snnal or pnlitical obligations and evince no
very thorough knowledge of the qualifications
required for effective service in the foreign
Geld. The assignment is cnnspicnously the
'ro"h' IF man "e'c to his special department
-Tf one clearly not familiar with what is
wanted. or with the way to get it."

THE STORY OF CuP.-Donn Piatt writes It 10
said that the vice president, Schuyler Colfax,
rode over by Senator Morton In this contest for
public printer. am of the opinion, however,
that the Christian statesman found 1t beneath the
dignity Of his position to enter into such squsb
bic as this over the printer. / am driven to this
conclusion by my knowledge of this eminent
man. A friend of mine, for example called upon bin
to solicit letter for a gentleman Of high lite AIRY
standing, who had done more to insure the wee
pre- sident's success than any other man in the
country. Skier heard the application, and then
replied, and in his blsndest manner, that he had
made IL rule. since the election not to interfere
with the presidents patronage. He did not think
il becoming his position.
Be the cause what it may, he sacrificed faith.
fol friend, and not only let the drove run over
but never went near, after, to express his regret
and sympathy. Mrs. Defrees was so wounded
that she hunted up the telegram thanking De-
frees for the beautiful compliment Of naming q
son Schuyler Colfsx Defrees, aud the letter that
accompanied the presentation of q silver mug,
and placing the telegram and letter in the mug,
bundled them all OF to the late friend and Chris
tian statesman.
1t Is said that the vice president has the mug,
telegram and letter on his drawing-room table,
and invites visitors to shed tears with him in this
cup OF sorrow, over broken friendship and bad
treatment.
