We had thus far Transcribed from our Note
Book, the repor, Of all the IsMs in Council
assembled, when We were put in receipt Of
q Geographic notification from New York, to
the effect that a cabal Of distinguished
caba!i<,ic philosophers were engaged in
discussing the expediency Of eliminating
from the worlds traditions, the idea Of q
Creator; and that our s,enograpl'ic services
were urgently needed to complete the imp.
ortance Of so renowned a gathering, and 10
transmit, 10 The latest p%os'eri,y the process Of
solving a problem on which hangs the dsstinies
Of the human race
Feeling assured that onr friends-THr 1sMs
were largely represented there, 10 say nothing
Of the impnlsion Of professional pride, or Of
the attraction Of professional emoluments, we
could no, lorego the honor Of being present
at the iIlus'rious pl'i'oscphic and cabaIi>,ic
congress; particularly, as it was currently
reported that the main Thesis Of the rhiloso-
piers was 10 be predicaied OH the proposition
that Natural Laws are quite snfiicien. for the
making Of worlds aud all %,l,etein; and that
The Natural Laws made themselves!
Our readers will perceive lha, i, would be
impossible for Us 10 refuse the fa.tering
invitation; aud we feel confident, in advance
tina, they will hold us excused.
On our return, il will afford US pleasure 10
resume the repor, Of the proceedings of all
the New England IsMs, in Council assembled.

1t is supposed that Mr. Dana. the editor of the
" y. Sun, reached the sublimest flight Of
eso;ism possible even to him, in publishing the
following paragraph in leading editorial re-
Gently. The italics are Mr. Dana's own:
But toward Gen. Grant as President we con-
fess that we cherish a very profound feeling of
disappointment and dissatisfaction. There were
few men in the country who had taken more
stock in him than we had. During the war
when he was digging canals at Vicksburg. and
was on the point of being relieved of his COM
msnG, Mr.. Dams did what he could to have hun
retained at the head of the army in the Missis
sippi Valley and the effort was successful. But
for his agency Grant could hen hare been sent
back 10 GaieRG and in that euent he could
neither hare become CommGnder-in-C Chief of
the army nor President of The United States.

about over the safe se;ziag 81 such tobacco
found ou sale in the hands Of merchants, and
seaii1g teams about TO collect the .ame together
at different points the ground O. seizure being
the uai1yui sale Of such article and its con-
sequeut forfeiture to Government. For long
time afterwards much was said pro and con.
about the said article being subject or not sub

article previously, laid the case before some of
GO Uusie sans men, who SAID It was p Of tax
s5.e article, AMI they therefore continued for
long time 20 sell IT,
Nov come ,he inquiries which " sh to make,
and hope you or some Of your numerous read |
ers may be able to answer them -
Has the matter ever been decided by our /
United States Courts, or other officers competent
to decide, whether those Cigar Clippings"
were at that tune sold contrary to Jaw?
If so, and they were forfeited, have they /
ever been sold and the proceeds paid over to the
Government Treasury?
SIS the matter yet settled between the par
ties who sold and the parties who seized the to-
bacco,
Are the nerchants who had bought the
.iticie honestly, ami innocently, and paid for it.
% be the losers, and is there no remedy in such
case?
Being one who had bought and paid for the
FOODS. end having failed thus long in getting
my history Of or conclusion of the matter,
ubmit the foregoing.
Yours truly, 4 VICTIM
