RE Among the effects of a confidence
woman who recently died in New York
was found the following, addressed to
His Excellency, Gen. U. S. GRANT:
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. "a, 1S70.s.
DEAR GENERAL: This will introduce
to you, Mrs. Jones. of Kentucky. She
has been to see the Surgeon General,
who refers her to you. Her business is
to dispose of some very superior whis-
ky--it is capital, has age, and for the
price is, / think. the best to be had in
the United States. As you are purchas-
ing by the quantity, ! have also referred
her to you. Yours, F. G. DENr,A.D.C.
/ General GRANT doubtless has use for
whisky in large quantities, but it is not
in keeping with his character to pur-
chase it. II Mrs. JONES had seen her
way clear to present him with barrel oi
that "very superior whisky" which, ac-
cording to Gen DENT, was "the best in
the United States," we dare say His Ex-
cellency would not have mortified her by
a refusal to accept; but as for pnrchds
;ng-it isn't one Of his vices.

New Catlle Disease. Z, ] :,

The Warren, Trumble county, Ohio,
Chronicle says that farmers and others
III that section, complain of new dis
ease having broken out, called black-leg
The flesh on the fore legs of the cattle
gradually drops of, leaving the bone
exposed. A gentleman from Lorain
county tells us that the same disorder is
prevailing to considerable extent there,
the fore legs of the animal swell to such
an extent that the skin bursts, and the
flesh drops of, having turned black. The
same epidemic is also prevailing in Can
ada, opposite Detroit; some Of the hor-.
ses there have died with it. The con-
clusion of many who are familiar with
the working of the disease, attribute its
cause to the bite of a peculiar kind Of
black Fly. Some of the, best veterinary
surgeons are ofthe same opinion, Wash-
ing the parts with strong soap suds, and
Applying coating of lard, fish-oil and
sulphur, is given as a remedy.

Popular Vote Conventions.

Every Saturday, in an article discus
sing the evils of the caucus system for
making political nominations, makes the
following suggestion: "a very simple
remedy for most OF these evils of the
caucus system would lie found in an ar.
rangemcnt--eithcr voluntary or Legal
for enabling each voter within a fixed
period of several days,to vote for can
didate just as he now votes for an off,
Ger, under suitable notifications of de-
tail. Thus the real preference of each
voter would be ascertained under tile
circumstances most favorable for its
unbiased and Intellectual expression"
There is nothing new in Epery Satur.
days suggestion The system of Pop
ular Vote Conventions to nominate can
didates for office was inaugurated by the
Democratic party in Monroe County, as
early as the year 1876 The Democrats
of this county have determined to NOM
mate for themselves, and not have set
of candidates nominated for them by q
few men who have axes to grind. The
delegate system is a humbug, gotten up
to secure the nomination of those whom
the people would surely reject in Pop.
ular Vote Convention.

RF The lager beer war between Theo.

EF The lager beer war between Theo-
dore Tilton and Rev. j. d. Fulton, oi
Boston, still RACES. Fulton preached a
long sermon about it, in which he gave
his version, of his interview with TiIton
and his informant. Theodore comes
back at him as follows:
REV. JUSTIN d. FULroN-Si have
just read with wonder the reports in the
New York papers of your remarks to
your Boston congregation yesterday, on
the issue pending between you and me
These reports, assuming them to be cor.
rect, compel me to say in point blank
English, that I stand ready to prove:
First-That you DID go into lager
beer saloon, ard drink lager beer after
preaching and
Second--That your narrative of your
interview on Saturday last with my in
formant and myself is as false as your
denial of the original charge.
Having threatened me with libel, you
now announce the withdrawal of the
suit, This is because you dare not &C
forward with it. I challenge yeu to
meet me- IN q court of justice. M

EFOut ON the Pacific Railroad There
can hardly be a doubt about the truth
of the story, not long ago o Kickapoo
Indian saw locomotive coming down
the track toward HIM at the rate of for
ty miles an hour. He thought it was
an imported breed of buffalo, and was
anxious to secure it, so as to take the
prize to the annual exhibition of the
Kickapoo Agricultural Society. So he
fastened one end of his lasso to his waist
belt, and when the engine got neal
enough he threw the moose nicely over
the smokestack. Perhaps it is not nee,
essary, but we may as well relate thai
the locomotive did not stop. The en-
gineer and fireman witnessed the mos
successful attempt to do the flying ira
peze made by any Kickapoo Indian up
on the plains since the first of last Jan
uary. There was an aboriginal fanera
at the next station when the train arrived

passed, and, perhaps, not eguaied Man.
haitian Island, with splendid river on each
side and the finest water front, with mag
nificent bay at it's Southern extremity, and
few miles only from the broad Atlantic
ocean, seems to have been designed by ma
ture for this destiny. 1t is the outlet OF the
trade Of vast continent, and the CONNER
cial emporium of a mighty nation. Nature
has done everything possible to make this
city well drained, we'll supplied with water,
healthfll and beautiful. Nor is there want
ing wealth, public spirit and ambition
enough to accomplish all this We only
need ability and taste in the men who are
in power. The Legislature has given, under
the new charter ample authority to the city
government to make New York what it
ought to be. Will those having control of
the matter understand the work before
them, and that is expected from them
That ia the question. That has to be seen.
What is true of New York in essential
parts is true of New Orleans. 1t is the
outlet of the trade Of vast continent
the commercial emporium Of a mighty
nation. Nature has done much to make
it this but something is required of. her
public men to help her fulfill glorious
destiny. In the meantime every citizen
can help to contribute toward the cleani-
ness and beauty Of the city by keeping his
own premises in order; by displaying a
taste that is not only comfort to him
and his household, but pleasure and
source of inspiration to others to go and
do likewise

ON CARONDELET STREET.

The business of the street offered no
points Of interest yesterday. No move
ments of significance took place with ref
erence to any stock. We can not record
any real change in prices, nor are there
any indications of operations likely to
affect present rates. Holders Of Slaughter
house are generally willing to retain their
certificates, trusting to the enterprise and
good management of the officers of the
corporation to a considerable extent, but
relying far more on the business forced
upon it by the peremptory orders of
our State courts. Now and then
some one who has pledged his
shares, or who has bought more than he
can pay for, is compelled to disgorge, and
there is SO little money now looking for
investment, that the effect of these forced
sales is to put down the price temporarily;
but without something more decided than
we have seen during the last few weeks,
we can not report a real and damaging de-
cline in Slaughterhouse. It stands now
at say from $40 to S19 so, and although
the figures We give represent its present
commercial value, it is an absolute impos-
sibility to state the actual worth of the
stock. Several lots of Ship Island
have changed hands at usual
rates. No movement has been made by
the new direction Of the Canal Company,
to inspire any increase Of public conf
dence in the enterprise. AS the stock is
all out, it is not likely that the direction
can take vital interest in its current
value, unless with view to prolonging
their lease Of authority in the manage
ment Of the company's affairs. If
they put the work through Of dig
ging the canal, they must rely on
some new source of credit for the where
withal. Some course must be taken rela-
tive to the stock, under the present aspect
of the companys affairs, if the whole thing
is not to 60 down without remedy.
The subscription for the new netional
bank, in the hands Of Mr.. Bendix, is pro-
crossing very favorably. The stock is
thus far principally taken by our German
| citizens.
The business Of the day as far as re-
ported is covered by the following list:

BELGIUM WARLIKE.

. If war takes place, it is probable that
innocent, unoffending Belgium will serve
as the battlefield. According to inter-
national law, she must, if neutral, defend
her neutrality by preventing armed troops
from crossing her territory. In this re-
spect she will be held to strict account
by the rest of Europe, and with her in
sufficient force of one hundred thousand
soldiers at most, the task will be terrible
between two such powerful armies as those
of Prussia and France.
The courageous little country, how
ever, is undaunted in her attitude. She
is already preparing for the contingency
by withdrawing fnrr..oughs, and sending
troops to the frontier, with orders to de-
stroy telegraphs and railways in case OF
invasion. Thus, she is determined to
march to almost certain defeat, in COM
pliance with what she conceives to be her
duty.
Let us hope that if France and Prussia
are determined to fight, that they may
reach each other elsewhere than on the soil
Of the model government Of Europe-Bel-
GUM. She has already been the victim
of one Waterloo, and to suffer a second
time thus for the sins Of others, would be
to the last degree cruel.
