NEW YORK, January II.
a correspondent of the Herald recent
| lV hndfa conversation with Gen. Blair
| in Washington, the General still holds
to his expressed opinion that General
| Grant will make n dictator or an Em-
peror of himself before he leaves the
White House his modest department
| is simply deep pdissemulatiOn and one Oi
the measures always used by ambitious
persons since julius Caesar thrice
resumed the crown. The country is
already ruled by minority who
demand the aid of bayonets, and it will
be easy for Grant with his military
power TO make himself supreme.
On Saturday evening DIR. Smart was
summoned to attend two dying wo-
men, Mrs. louisia Cook and Miss Jane
V, Reeland, who reside in South street,
Jersey City. Having had domestic
trou bles which they thought themselves
too weak TO bear, the women had
bought morphine and took heavy
dose, resolving to die together. Hav-
ing been restored to consciousness,
they expressed their Indignation that
they had not been permitted to die.
The Congressional Committee cngnG-
cd in the Investigations OF alleged cleo
ton frauds still continues in session,
being engaged altogether in examining
witnesses. The trouble between Sheriff
y lrlen anu 1dESudII
other United States officials, remains
in statu'quo. The Committee claims that
it has Obtained overwhelming proof of
the charges of repeating and using
false certificates of naturaliZl alton pa
pers i'll the late elections, which are
made by the Union League, against
the members of the Democratic party.
- 1t is now generally believed that Mo-
ses II. Grinnell will be appointed Col
OT This mort hV Gen. Grant.
The case of the United States u.s. Ver-
non *. Stevenson, the great cotton case,
was resumed yesterday morning befol e
Judge Blackford. Witnesses were ex-
amined for the Government, but other
witnesses expected from Washington
not having arrived the further hearing
of the case was adjourned till this
morning.
Int the u. S. Commissioners Court the
case of the United States as. the Messrs.
Ouiteman, charged with custom house
frauds, WAS further postponed till We'd
nesday.
The books and papers OF j. B. Hixon,
importer, Howard street, and OF w.
Hamburger, 35l Broadway, Were yester-
day seized by the Marshal on an order
issued by the District Court on an atfi-
davit alleging that the parties named
had defrauded the custom department
by under valuation of goods consigned
to them.
The Hernld says a sO-called Jewelry
Union in this city proposes to distribute
ga, 900, 600 worth OF prizes ut grand
drawing insMarch next. They publish
in their prospectus an extract of what
purports to be an editorial in the Her
alt, laudatory OF their scheme. No
such an editorial has ever appeared in
the HcyUld, and the whole scheme may
be set down as swiEdle.
Tho EPTOIH saws the DuSSuHO OF the
bill for the repeal OF the tenure of office
act by the heavy vote given indicates
the beginning Ofa decline in the power
of radicalism, and the asCendancy OF
more moderate and cOnCilintOry
councils in Congress than those which
have ruled the two houses in their long
and desperate conflict with President
johnson.
The Tribune says the heavy vote in
favor of the repeal of the tenure of
civil Office act in the House may not be
any indication of the certainty of its
passage in the Senate. 1t has sprung
unexpected, and crowded them with
little debate.
The New Jersey railroad ticket office
in this city, was entered last evening,
and robbed of one thousand dollars III
cash.
The Times snys: The bill to repeal
the tenure of office law, originally en-
acted to hamper Johnson in his ap-
pointments, was passed in the House
yesterday, only ~ members voting
against it. That every one of those 4T
WAS Republican is rather curious
and significant circumstance. 1t shows
that ii Republicans in the House have
less confidence in Grant than the Demo-
Gratis. The repeating bill now goes to
the Senate, where it is not likely to be
so favorably received.
