ALL ExpLA1NED-The CourierJournal is remarka.

ary when it relates to anything the President has had
hand in that looks little mysterious to the people
at large. At FIRST the appointment of j. Russell JONES'
who was known to be unfit for anything, to the mis-
sion at Brussels unaccountabe, but soon as the
Journal hrowed little light the subject it
all plain as daylight. Jones not relation,
but he had been giving up present. A Chicago pa.
per says that in book 533 of Deeds at page 452, to
be in the Recorders office in that CITY, there is
deed from j. Russell Jones to o. S. Grant, conveying
hundred of land for the nominal considera.
ton of dollar. The deed was filed for record on
the 29th Of May, 1869, and the Chevalier" started
for Brussels with his Commission almost Immediately
afterwards. Our Louisville contemporary says thai
evidently the design to keep the fact of the gift
secret. This wasn't fair. When good gifts are made
to our good President let good people, by all
means, be allowed the luxury of rejoicing with him.
