The contradiction, reported by the tele-
graph to be official, of the statements made
by a correspondent of the New York World
concerning certain alleged expressions of
opinion in regard to public men, by General
Grant, was simply an editorial paragraph in
the New York Tribune There is no guar
antee that it emanated from Gen. Grant, or
that he authorized its publication. The fact
that it appeared in the New York Tribune, a
paper with which the president elect has no
sympathies, is enough to discredit its au-
thenticity.

Cunning OftIIc EuN.

A certain Jagare, who was one
morning keeping watch in the for
est, saw fox cautiously making
his approach towards the stump of
an old tree. When sufficiently
near be took n high and determined
jump on to the top of it, and after
looking round a while hoped TO
the ground again. After Rcynard
had repeated this knightIy exercise
several times, he went his way. but
presently returned to the rpot tea..
ing pretty large and heavy piece
Of dry oak in his mouth, and thus
burdened, and as it would seem for
tho purpose Of testing his Wanting
powers, he renewed his leaps on to
Tie stump. After n time, however,
and when he found that, weighted
as he was, he could make the ascent
with facility, he desistcd from fur
thcr efforts, dropped the piece Of
wood irCh his mouth, and cpiIins
himself upon the top of the stump,
remained motionless as if dead. At
the close of evening the old SOW and
her progeny five or six in number,
issued from ncighboring thickct
and pursuing their usual track,
passed near to the stump in Qucs-
ton. Two of her sucklings follow
cd somewhat behind the rest, and,
just us they neared his ambush, Mi
chcl, with The rapidity Of thought,
dartod down from bis perch upon
one Of them, and in the twinkling
Of an eye, bore it in triumph on to
the Enstncss he had so providenlial-
ly prepared beforehand. Contound-
ed at the shrieks of her offspring,
the old SOW returned in fury to the
spot, and until late in the night
made repeated desperate attempts
to storm the murderer's stronghold;
but tho fox took the matter cooIiy,
and devourcd tho pig under The
very nose Of ite mother.

SHERMAN, sept. 3U, lS69.
Editor of Comrier-Lctters are
pouring in upon me, asking who
and what is Captain John G. Con-
ner. l answer through the press
briefly. Captain Conner is a resi-
dent of Indiana; was born and
raised in the same town in which
/ spent my early life. He is an on
" son Of one of the wealthiest
and most influential men III the
State. His father was for years a
member of the Legislature and State
Senate of Indiana. Conner has
had every advantage that wealth
could give. He is true Democrat,
and canvassed the 9Th Congression-
al District for Seymour and Blair,
and is considered, at his home, one
of the brightest intellects, of his
age, in that State. These latter
facts / state from knowledge OBJ
tanned on my visit 20 my old home
last spring. And those who do not
know me / refer to Senator Hen
bricks, of Indianapolis; ID. w.
Voorhees,, Terre Haute; General
David Moss and Judge Earl S.

will verify every word here stated.

FEDERALABpoINTMENTs IN TEXAS.
Flakes Bulletin claims TO have been
the first paper in Texas to favor the
election of Gen. Grant to the Pres
idency. The same paper now uses
the following language in reference
to certain Texas appointments to
office:

WHOSE presence would disgrace any
parlor, and whose names would de-
stroy the credit o. any business

gentlemen will not associate, and

This is notorious. This fact has
covered the Administration in Tex

can remove, and has made loyal
men and Republicans shame to own
their connection with the party.

THHE "SwEET" QUININE IMPos-
TURE-ITs AUTHOR ExPELLED.-At
the annual meeting of the National
Apotheearies' Convention of the
United States, held in Chicago last
week, the following resolutions
were adopted:
WHEREAS, A member of this As
sociation has put forth a nostrum
called "sweet quinine," which con-
tains no quinia, and is therefore a
fraudulent imposture; therefore,
Resolued, That Mr.. Frederick
Stearns has, in this So called "sweet
quinine," and in the advertisement
concerning it, violated the sense Of
moral rectitude of this association,
and has violated it's constitution
and the general purpose of its Or
ganization.
ReSotred, That for these offenses
Mr.. Frederick Stearns be expelled
from this association.

the fact that he had discovered an
