and small party, entered the Metropolitan
Church on Sunday and walked nearly to
the altar, but finding no special preparation
made for them, they immediately left the
church. Wherenpon an apology was. made
from the pulpit for the omission, and it was
stated that hereafter o space would be re-
served for the President.
There is much speculation and consulta-
ton over the question of relieving Stewart
from his incapacity to be Secretary of the
Treasury. The desire on the part of Con-
gress not to embarrass Grant at the COM
mencement of his administration will, it is
believed, lead to the action that lie sug-
gests.

THE WILL OF GEORGE PEABoDy.-
The Boston Post, referring to the late
George Pea body, remarks:
During his lifetime Mr.. Peabody execu-
ted two wills. One was drawn up some
years ago 10y Mr.. Rand, a lawyer of this
city, since deceased, but after its execu-
ton Mr. Peabody added so largely to his
former donations that it became necessary
to execute new instrument This was
done at his last visit to this country 1t
is, of course, not yet definitely known
what are the precise nature and mode OF
its b. quests. A prominent gentleman Of
Salem, and an Intimate personal FREUD OF
the family, had a conversation with Mr.
Peabody on this subject just before the
latter's fnal departure lrem America, i'll
which occurred the following colloquy:
"WeIl, MIR. Peabody, after so many
generous gifts, there will no: be great
deal left for your heirs
No, sir was the reply Nor Go l
mean there shall be. | intend to make a
ill further donation towards the comfort
ST the London poor, and perhaps add to
my previous gifts in other directions.
What | leave, however will be clear of
the legacy duties, for it will certainly not
exceed one million of dollars
cit is presumed that the last will and
testament of Mr. Pea body will be admit
ted to probate in the Pferogative Court
of the Archbishop of Canterbury, and that
copy will theretrom be extracted and
filed in the probate office at Salem

TIE lAX ON SPIRITS PROPOSED CHANGE
IN THE CoLLEcrIoN-Hon Leonard NJ y
ers, of Pennsylvania, intends at an early
day at the next session OF Congress to in
troduce bill changing the present system
Of collecting tie tax on distilled spirits
and levying it entirely upon the capacity
Of the distillery. He was the first to pre-
sent this plan several years ago when on
The Darling Investigating Committee. and
still insists that tie gross decentralization
of the present system shows that some
such change in the law is needed. He
contends not only that it will increase the
revenues from this source, but will re-
move the temptation to fraud presented by
the laws as it now stands and abolish
the many regulations of the Department
on the subject, do away with stamps and
metres, and reduce the force now employed
to carry out the law Mr.. Myers will
urge these views upon Congress, believing
there will be generel approval of the
principals embodied in this bill.

Among the States Grant carried in
1868, were Pennsylvania, Ohio, Massa-

Illinois, and California. These gave him
az aggregate majority Of 285 PAT.
Among the States that went for Sey-
mour were New York, New Jersey, and
Maryland These gave an aggregate
majority of ASH. Leaving a total
majority for Grant in the eleven States
mentioned of $40, 439.
These same eleven States have voted
within the last two months, for candidates
Of greater or less Importance, but always

New York, New Jersey Maryland, and
California have this fall gone Democratic,
aud given aggregated maioritcs of 50,
600, against ~ 81 last year. Th is,
instead of leaving Radical majority in
the eleven States Of 30 436, gives the
Democracy a majority 6,5OO
Within one year the Radical majority
