One thing Ia very true. Grant has been
consistent. He made no promises to the
Radical politicians who elected him. He
refused to be bound by them, and the facts
which have demonstrated themselves dl-
ring his administration prove that he had
reasons for this refusal. Another fact Is ap-
parent. Grlnt ais not seeking reelection.
He SO expressed himself during the past
winter, and it Is very evident that he were
not in earnest in expressing that sentiment
he would be more careful Of offending the
only party which would lie likely to re-
nominate him by giving the best offices to
men for whom the leaders have not and
never have had close affiiati,n. TIMoN.
DIsABILITIEs.-Int the United States Senate
Friday MIR. Johnston presented the petition
Of w. &. #. Nelson and Lewis a. Boggss, Of
Spotsyivania James Hitter, Of Louisa !;
William E. Robson, Of Woodyilfe, Kappa
hammock and Mr.. Lewis presented the Pc
tition of Joel Fields, Of Russen-au for the
removal Of Political disabilities. Referred.
He also presented the petition of Mary ID.
Anderson, of Portsmouth, Va, for PEN
sion which was referred to the Committee
on Pensions.
THE New Acknowledgement. = The
friends of Alderman admit all Of this to be
true, but say that he volunteered on the
staff of General Robert Toombs to avoid con-
scription, and that he never performed any
service In behalf of the Confederate cause
while in that capacity, and declare that as
an old friend, though q staunch Union man,
General Toombs protected him in that way
from CONSUMPTION. 1t is iurther brought up
against him that he is among the warmest
friends of General Toombs and Alexander
II. Stephens. Among Radicals Of the Sum-
ner type these are very potent objections to
the confirmation of Mr.. Alderman.
SPIRIT METERs.-A new set Of regulations
relating to spirit meters have been adopted
and will shortly be issued from the Revenue
Bureau. The credit meter is discarded, and
the only meter to be used is the sample me-
ter and the automatic meter, when adapted
for use rs sample meter. The meter will
be required ut each distillery, which is to
be SO arranged that all the spirits manutac-
tured shall pass through it. The Tice me-
ter is the one adopted for use, and the dis
tiller is compelled to remove within nine
ty days the meters discontinued.
The Senate bill reduces letter postage to
two CENTS It will hardly become law.

well, and l Lhf TX is much better thar
ordinary corn. Mine was planted til,

gathered tho seed from the growing
corn, that was ptntcd the latter part
Of April; it bciO, hard enough tc
plant again. August I'd it was up, SC
that it could be scdn from ono end tc
