FAIRS AND FAIRNESS.

From the NJ y. Times.
AS this appears to be the season of ehari-
table fairs, there being at least half a dozen
either in actual operation throughout the
city, or in immediate contemplation, it may
be well to say word concerning the usual
manner of their management. The principle
which apparently underlies them all Is to
extract from their patrons the greatest pos
sible amount of money for the least possible
consideration. Charity, which is held to
cover SO many sins, is, in these affairs, un-
blushingly made to justify absolute extortion.
And not only is everything rated at prices
absolutely above it's real value, but the
most part, of no value at all, or of no con-
ceivable use to any human being. There
are some things, like baby clothes or eofins,
which we may almost at any time safely bay,
with ''Toodles'" trandnil Confidence that
some day or other they viii be handy to have

freedman to work for others, where nine
tenths of the land was at the squa.ters dis
posal, and more than sufficient to supply his
wants. For many years no new element can
be found to replace the negro. The reorga-
nization of free labor will be ask requiring
much skill patience, and assiduity; and no
set of men but the native Cubans, who are
thoroughly acquainted with the character of
their late slaves, are likely to undertake the
task with any prospect of success.
Cuba, then, is not worth much except in
the hands of the Cubans; its value is much
less to-day than it was when the revolution
began; and it will continue to decrease az
long as the civil war continues. The only
sure way of arresting this decline in the
worth of the island is to help the Cubans to
maintain their independence. Let the
United States recognize the Cuban Republic,
or even allow it the rights of belligerency,
and the interests of property on the island,
as well as the higher interests of humanity,
will gain immensely 10y the act.

To the President.

Mr.. Cox's last letter to the President, already
published, is dated October 3. 1t will be observed,
however, that in his letter OF August 70, Mr. Cox
intimates strongly his determination to resign in
case the President refused to support him in his
views about the McGarrahan claim. To this letter
the President m ade reply, thus refusing TO aban-
don the position he had taken on the question of
issuing the land patent With regard to that part
of Mr.. Cox's last letter, which seems to imply an
interference on the part of somebody with the In
dian policy of the Administration, it should be un-
derstood that the President had no issue with Mr.
Cox on that subject nor did he permit any outside
The only thing that could possibly be construed
in this was the Presidents indorsement on letter
from Senator Chandler, of Michigan, addressed to
him at Long Branch, and which was atterward
sent to Secretary Cox This letter presse in earn
est terms the appointment as Indian agent in Mich
igan of Mr.. Brockway, a Methodist clergyman, re-
siding in that State, who had successfully labored
as a missionary among the Indians. He had
already served as such agent and had been super
ceded when the Indian agencies had been put in
charge of military officers. The Presidents in
dorsement on this letter to the effect that the
person recommended by Senator Chandler might
be appointed, as it would not change the policy
which had been adopted in regard to appointments
for that branch OF the service.
The President added at the same time that he
was anxious to meet the wishes OF Senator Howard,
who concurred in Senator Chandler's request. The
Endorsement about the appointment was merely of
the country that President Grant is the author of
the policy now being pursued by the government
toward the Indians, ana the people may rely rely upon
policy SO long as he Is President, no matter what
change may take place in the Cabinet
With regard to the reforms in the civil service,
allusion to which is made in the last letter OF Mr.
Cox it is we'll understood here and elsewhere, by all
who have anything do with the executive depart
ments of the government, that since the Inaugural
tion Of President Grants administration particular
attention has been given TO this matter The Presi-
| dent himself, with every member OF his Cabinet,
has, without any formal parade or show, made it a
condition that no person shall receive an office with,
out first undergoing examination, the object OF
which is to ascertain, first, his fitness for the place
and, second, his character for fidelity and integrity
AS matter of course preference is given to per,
sons who are known to entertain the same political

Despatch 10 the Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.
THE FOLLOWING statement may be regarded as
semi official, and its publication authorized by an
act of Congress, passed July &, 1870:
Considerable discussion having taken place in
Secretary Cox from the Cabinet, and allusion
having been made to the existence of other CORES
pondence between the President and MIR. Cox
besides that covering the resignation of that gen
ties to give to the country the letters relating to
the withdrawal of Mr.. Cox from the Cabinet. 1t
has been intimated that among the reasons for the
resignation OF Mr.. Cox a difference between
the President and himself as to the propriety of
issuing. patent from the Land Office in what is
known as the McGarrahan claim. Upon this point
the following correspondence will explain itself:
LONG BRANCH, n. j., August 22, 1oIO.-Hon. t.
ID. Cox, Secretary of the Interior-Dear Sir un-
derstand that you have appointed one day this
week to hear arguments in the McGarrahan case,
That Is we'll enough, because If Congress should
fail to settle that case we may nave to do IT, and
the sooner we know the points of it the better
However, as the matter had been taken in hand by
Congress before the incoming Of this Admnistra-
tiOn, and as so much fraud is charged and believed
to exist both sides, am not willing that my
name should be signed to patent for either party
until Congress has either decided or declared their
inability to do so.
wish you would say to Mr.. White, secretary for
signing patents, not to put my name to that one
except on special orders from me through YOU He
must not take orders from Mr.. Wilson In the mat
ter. / have grown suspicious of Mr.. Wilson and
will tell you only when go to Washington next.
Yours truly, u g. GRANT.
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, WASHINGTON,

is this morning received, and have given your
directions in regard to signing patent to the new
I1lia Company 70 Mr.. Wkito by lot-3-, he b1il z

on the subject Of the MeGarrahan business itself,
