General Grant has found warm eulogist
and ally in the London Times, which, IN its
number of October 81, anticipates with salts
faction the election of General Grant 10 b
second term of Office" What does this mean
It is hardly possible that 1.-THE Thunderer' has
fallen into the delusion that that silly story
concerning the matrimonial arrangements be-
tween Master Fred. and Beatrice has any
truth in it. And yet it looks as though the Dig
clustering journal Of London were trimming
It's sails to catch that breeze.
1t appears that, after all, the new evil
dence expected to be produced In the resumed
Tichborne trial has amounted to very little.
Nearly all the sensational stories told IN the
London papers about new discoveries In the
case are quite untrue. Arthur Orton has not
been found: the sailor who was on the Bella
with Roger Tichborne turns out to be myth,
aud the trial must be fought out on the evil
dence already given, with the addition OF q
little corroborative or contradictory testimony
on each side.
The recent exposures by the New York
daily press OF the reckless management OF
MANY of the New York institutions for saV-
ings, beginning with the Third Avenue Saw
ings Bank, have now caused the suspension OF
two more-the National Bowling Green and
Guardian Savings Bank-which were COM
pelled to close their doors on SATURDAY. II Is
significant fact that the presidents OF these
banks-"Hauk" Smith and BOSS" Tweed
were the leaders respectively Of the Republi-
can and Democratic sides Of the Ring that
lately controlled the destlnles Of New York.
New York is thoroughly frightened. In
stead of one expected welcome visitor-the
Grand Duke-she has two unexpected and un-
welcome ones-the cholera and smallpox. We
have already noticed the arrival OF the Ger
man steamship Franklin, with cargo Of choi-
era, at quarantine In the harbor. Now comes
the no less startling fact that smallpox is rap
idly extending lie ravages in the City, and the
World asserts that there are Two hundred
thousand persons n the community fit subjects
for the disease, never having been yaccinate5.
This seems to be treated as more serious
matter BY the New Workers than the advent OF
cholera. as they comfort themselves with the
idea that the cholera is not to be dreaded in
the winter. The experience OF Russia In Inc

"A translation of the Pope's allocution, de.
uyered in the Secret Consistory on the 9th
ult., is given in the Londen Times. The Holy
Father reminds the brethren Of the attempts
50 long and persistently directed against the
Catholic Church. and declares that although
ssalmost swallowed up In the waves Of that sea
of tribulatlon," he refuses not to endure still
more, and to face death even with JOY, III 1t
shall please the God OF mercy to accept him as
a sacrifice" He then proceeds to appoint
bishops to some of the Italian Sees, which
have long been vacant, and to promise that
the remainder shall be provided for In very
short time. At the same time, he emphatical-
" rejects the gurantees offered him, and says
that he makes use only OF the pontihcal au-
thority which he has inherited. The action of
the antl.intallibillsts is strongly denounced By
Plus TX, who laments the consequent danger
for both the church and civil society; and the
defenders of the Papal authority a.e proper
tional!y praised, including not only the arch
bishops and bishops, but also the great body
of the clergy and laity. And then the allocn-

The Washington correspondent Of the
Baltimore Sun writes The report that the

New York and of members of the Democratic

here favor such course is openly admitted,
while Senator Schurz and other Republicans.
