What Grant Admits and What lac Don't

The Haprorei Times Of yesterday contained
what 1t called an authorized denial nom President
Grant that Fisk and Gould paid his thousand-dolar
subscription TO the Rawlins frnd. A SuS reporter
callei on Col. Fisk In the course of the day and
finding LIN immersed In study OF the map OF
Eastern Asia, eoughed to attract his attention. and
when lie had gained bis point, Immediately plunged
into the subject by saying:
"Colcnol, what have you TO say about that article
in the Times this morning, In Which President Grant
is represented TO have denied the pay mput by YOU
and Nj. Gould Of his subscription to the Rawlins
funds'
What have 10 say to that" replied Col. Fisk,
ais, that It is denial OF statement AZ all. The
fact that Mr. Grant paid $4,000 suscription-if it
be fsct-has notAing 10 do with biz not paying q
81 600 subscription. We don't know anything about

and am not going to allow hin to hijo from public

The yacht America has been Withdrawn
from all the match races Of next week for the sill
yer cups offered by Mr.. AsuDuRr, Of the English
yacht Cambria. This change in the programme
has been brought about by the effective voice Of
the independent press. Admiral PoRTEn's ex-
pcnsivc habits have SO often been commented up
on by TnE Sun, that the Administration no longer
feels like permitting the luxurious sea loungcr TO
continue bis eJtravagant career. So il has suggest
ed that the gallant Admiral shall no longer in
dulge in yachting, which is an amusement ex-
tremely expensive to Uncle Sam Hence the dec-
sion that the yacht America shall not enter for the
races. The America, It is understood, is to be
ordered TO Annapolis, to be used as II practice
boat by the midshipmeu. 1t is rumored that she
may be sent to the lsthnus Of Tehuaniepec TO
join in the surveying squadron soon to rendez-
vous there, under the command of Capt. SnU-
rELDr of the navy. She can be made very useful
in that way, and fully repay the cost Of keeping

Gratis who are there TO serve themselves and their

good work was doue in the Court Of

arrant knavc who lived by nssaling, private
ly, the regulations of worthy men, was con.
victcd, and sentenced TO undergo the extreme
penalty provided by law for his offence
three years imprisonment in the State

Tbs is Just what WEST deserved. He
pretended TO 10 the President OF an Anti

quence of the gambling habits of those in

whereas it WINS, in fact, simply scheme

elected much commentator, not only from

II Is said that preparations are made TO
renew the crusade against the Wholesale whiskey
dealers in this city on accoun, cfthe frauds which
they committed while the war was in progress.
We hope this IL not true When the Whisky
Ring was first attacked for having committed
those crimes, they paid large sums of money TO
Interested lawyers TO get the charges set aside,
and that was done. When BAILEY came up the
second time, the Ring were excited. They met
almost nightly up town in private houses or in
hotels. and large sums Of money were subscribed
II seems 10 Us that if the crusade is renewed
now, it will principally cause the Ring 10 spend
money for the benefit Of unworthy people. Ad.
hitting that all the crimes which unques,ionably
werd committed could be proven, how much
revchac would the Government get after oil the
expenses Of Re prosecution were dclu,tcd9 In

rially benefit tie Government or awaken r high
respect for the internal revenue officials would
il be wise to reopen tie subject? We think not.
In the opinion Of several historians, the
