Guiding that of Judge Strong, in the nIaco
of Mr.. Stanton, on the Supreme Bench
General Grant told Senator yesterdav
that when he had once made nomination
he felt that he had nothing more to do
with it, and that he did not regard the con.
frmation or the rejection of it by the
Senate as rejecting in any way upon him
am glad to know that the Presidents
peace is not affected by the action Of the
Senate. I suppose tie Same philosopb;c
spirit possesses him when his wishes and
recommendations are unheeded or oDposed
by his Radical friends in the Congress Of
the country.
The Radicals are claiming that Ohio will
ratify the Fifteenth Amendment. I think
their wishes are father to the thought"
and, as it is pretty we'll settled TINT
doubtful things arc very uncertain, " We
will know moro of Ohio ana her ratifca-
ton of the Fifteenth Amendment when
the vote is taken.
The New York Bank Note PRINTING
Companies, Secretary BoutwelI's especial
pete, are again behindhand in their work.
The new legal-tendor notes will not be
! ready for circulation for several weeks. It
is thought an effort will be made this
Winter to have ali the printing done at
| Washington, IS was the custom under pre-
vious Administrations. It viii be pretty
big job to pass such law against the
combined influence OF the Companies and
their friend, the Secretary OF the Treasury.
The Commissioner OF Internal Revenue

same number as the old form, 81 They

SCISSORS. It's use will be enforced on and
after the 1st CT February. 1870. will in
this connection, give you an extract from
a letter received from Philadelphia, writ
ten by one thoroughly conversant with the
subject on which he writes. He is o. ram
pant Radical and his estimate Of Delano is
correct: 1.-The whiskey business has gone
up in this place. The West has all its own
way now. The whole machinery Of the
Revenue Department is used to crush out
the East to the advancement of the West
All the bunsby regulations issued by that
ancient fossil Delano are not applied to
the West, but are intended for PhiIadel-
phia almost entirely. There are only two
dietilleries in operation here now and they
will stop. One distillery was ready to
start, having complied with every unrea-
sonable and illegal order, and when there
was no other peg left to hang hat on,
permission to start was refused on the
ground that fraud was suspected and
this in the face of the facts of capacity be
ing doubled, meters, stOrckcepers, guag-
ers, Assistant Assessors and detectives on
the alert, and everything that ingenuity
could suggest for harassing aud distress
ing producers. Step over the Eastern
boundary of Pennsylvania a1d presto!
everything is changed. They are SO hon
est there that the Commissioner don't even
attach meters to their distilleries, for
would not that be a reflection on those
worthy people and ''am not /, the great
Delano, from among them and may
they not be a yoico potential cry
ing Delano for Senator Delano for
Governor ?' The fact is the old ass
thinks his a colossal intellect and that il
has never been properly recognized by the
people. AS an instance Of his wisdom he
has decided salt meat to be q manufacture;
druggists, because they use alchohol, to
be liquor dealers; and the mixing Of one
barrel of whiskey with another, to be rec
tifying. Let him go up head. L see no
salvation for Eastern whiskey manufaC
tnrers. except in Delano's retirement or
in an absolute capacity tax, neither OF
which is very likely" The above is true
to the letter with regard to the whiskey
monopoly, and such is the system carried
on with other branches of industry botG
with regard to internal revenue and tariff
uutil it seems to be the sole aim and end
of our government to foster and protect
monopolies. fDelano has decided to transfer
guagers from one distillery to another, as
provided in Sec. 40, act OF July 20, 1868.
They are to remain in charge of the dis
tilery about three weeks when they vii!
be relieved. The Commissioner expects
great results to flow from this last idea OF
his.
Senator Stewart, of Nevada, will intro
duce blu in the Senate providing for the
giving to Cinnamon the civil rights of cit
liens OF the United States. John China
man only asks to be put on equality with
white citizens in the courts and that they
may be protected in their persons and
property. They never come here to be cit
liens, but always look forward to all
arrangement for return to China during
life, or failing in that, that their bones be
taken to their homes. Senator Stewart Is
bound to see that the Chinaman gets what
he don't want and has not asked for The
Senator's ''buzzum is busting" with sym
pathy and love for every race and color,
the darker the shade the greater his love-
Poor Stewart, he is O restless, uneasy

ingly stolen Summers thunder, as he
knows Sumner is the special protector oil
