The ResGlt of His Administration in
Six Mopths-~An interesting
Statement of the New
Policy of National
Economy.

9lis statemcnt, contained in the New York
Times Washington dispatches published this
Mforning, is one OF the best evidences of the in
&'reasing prosperity of the nation under the
guidance of President Grant,
To all assaults, to all criticism, come from
whence 1t may; to all argument however spe-
ciOus or logical, President Grant and his admin
istration need only reply in the presentation OF
the rrcFutabc facts and the demonstration OF
the ncxorable results of policy which speaks
in unmstakable language, and is suited to the
comprehension of the plainest understanding.
Two complete quarters of the present admins
tration, from April to September So inclusive,
are now recapitulated by the proper officers,
and the result exceeds the most sanguine en-
PEE tati0ns.
Ii is nothing less than the magnificent show
ing that for the first clear half year of General
Grants administration, as compared with the
same period in 1868, the increase in the revenue
and the decrease in the expenditure aggregate
the'enOrmous sum of iifty-siX millions Of dol
lars This is not an estimate, ii is not guess
work, but it is shown by figures which will be
abundantly verified when the official reports are
made. / can now briefly support the statement
by showing which cannot be refutcd The
following statement shows the receipts from all
sources for the two quarters OF the years 1868
and 1869, comprised between the 3lst of March
and the Both of September in each year,

New YORK, Dec. 20, 1869.
The fat mems ball came OF at Irving
Hall tonight. It was the huReat SEN
sation Of the period. Nor was It lack
ing In brilliance. Diamonds flashed
from hundreds OF gigantic shIrt.bo;
SONS. The ladies who attended were
dressed In the Rayeat attire, which 1T.
erally sparkled with dazzling jewels.
Many of them were comparatively as
obese ,as their gentlemauly partners,
and severel Of them, Il ls safe to say,
could tip the scales at two hundred and
fifty pounds. The scene was novel and
stunnlngly Immense. II proof were
wanting before, that oorpul6nt human
'ity can dance, the fat mems ball has
supplled II. The order OF dancing diff
fefed In no material respect from that
followed at all the terpsichorean fetes
that are held here every winter. There
were wAltZes, mazour kas, schottlsches,
Quadrilles, reels and even jlgs perform
cd by the fat men. OF course the scene
afforded rare amusementto the dWRrfs
who Witnessed and participated In the
festive proceedings. II was certainly u
novel thing TO see 80 many human be-
Ings OF elephantlne proportions cutting
their pigeon-wlngs and doing their
break-doWns in the liveliest and most
artistic style, and the fat men enjoyed
themselves; In fact, they enjoyed It the
most, It was their ball, and despite
their obeaeness they were resolved 10
make the most OF II. It is true that The
exercise produced flood OF persplra-
lion, and rendered the use OF handker-
chiefs matter OF constant c0nsldera-
tlon, but the mountains OF heBh had
prepared for this, and kept as cool as
possible under the circumstances.
There was large number present from
various places In the West. Mr.. J. A.
p. Fisk, the President o { the Fat Mems
Association, whose weight approx.
lmntes that OF ythe Cardiff Giant,
led of In the hrst quadrille,
and acquitted himself with i'm
mense credit. He evidently felt very
big on the occaslon, and vas very dig.
nified when he condesoended to hold
conversation with the $50 pound In
fanta around him. Mr.. Lawrence Il.
Kerr, another big bug, who doesn't
weigh quite as much 40 the equestrian
statue OF Washington.ln Union Square,
distinguished himself by the accom-
plIshed manner In which he waltzed
and polkaed with his plump partners.
President Flsk and Mr.. Kerr are the
biggest men In the pool, although there
are many whose weights are almost as
remarkable. The affair was a big auc-
cess. No accident occurred TO mar the
festivities oG the hour. The floor did
not break down-a fact owing to Its
extra proppIng up for the occasion. AS
the inaugural ball Of the largest asso-
citation In the world, It passed OF with
satisfaction TO everybody who was
present, rJ. .......U
