self>defence should be fostersd and cherished,
and | recommend that an appropriation be
made to establish national puglistic school,
at the head of which [ should appoint my
esteemed friend John Morrissay.
TIE NEW YORK FRAUDS.
These frauds have attracted a great deal
of the public attention. | don't know what
they are, but [ know that notwithstanding
our party carried the election in that state by
making use Of these frauds, many Of my per
sonal friends have suffered by the exposure
Of them. l would recommend to congress at
an early day to esta ablish a government for
New York city, vesting in me the power TO
appoint mayor, &ldermen, coun cimen, and
chief of police In this way &lous can the
frauds be managed.
TOM MURPHY
[ have been obliged to displaco this dear
friend of mine from the New York custom
house. This should not bave done had the
New York Sun not kept up a continual
broadside upon him and me. The Sun is a
dangerously disloysI paper. and tho wonder
to me is that loyal people will permit its
continued publication. I would recommend
that congress pass an act permitting me TO
suppress it. 1t worries me continually.
shall, after the firm establishment Of the new
ordsr Of things. to WHICH We all look hope
fully forward, have all such newspapers
promptly suppressed. In Murphy's success
sor. however, we have good man. He is
right under Toms thumb, and there has
really been no change at all.
THE LONG BRANCH ESTABLISHMENT.
My cottage at Long Branch viii, next
summer, need refurnishing, and unless con
gress shall make an appropriation for that
purpose, ! shall be obliged to make impor-
r. ~ hi
order to enable NE to do it properly. Dur~
ing the summer l had several calls from
General Butler aad General Neal Dow, the
great temperance lecturer. Since that time
sllver~ware at the cottage has been scarce.
| make no iusinuation6 against those estima-
ble men. / merely state the facts as they
are, leaving you to draw your own inier~
ences.
TIE FLUCTUATIONS IX THE GOLD MARKET.
The fluctuations in the gold market have
not been so profitable TO my family as they
wsre year or two ago. Mrs. Grant real~
lied handsome profit on the "black Frs
day panic" | have urged the secretary Of
the treasury to so shape his fnsncaI policy
as to get up another panic. These panics
always result in good 10 those who are in
the ring, and those who are outside ought to
suffer.
NEPoTIsM
/ never knew what this word meant until
looked over the dictionary. had noticed
that it was frequently used by copperEead
and djslOyal papers when speaking of me.
! must say that am proud Of the fact that

my wife's relations ? | consider it nobody's

it impertineut Ia such dslCyal sheets as the
New York Sun to make so much ado about
this. | offered the editor of that paper
good office to keep him still, but he wouldn't
have it. This is another reason why papers
of that stripe should be suppressed. What
It says about the head Of the government is
disgraceful.
CONDITIoN OF THE SOUTHERN STATS.
! have no doubt that the udiciuus enforce
ment Of the ku klux law will enable me to
secure all the delegates from the southern
states to the next republican national con-
vention. The manner in which my brother
in-law treated the discontented element Of
the republican party in Louisiana, last sum
mer. ia to be highly commended. 1 woald
r ecommend that congress pass a vote of
thanks 20 him. lie already hGs my personal
thanks. | would recommend that the south
ern states be kept under military rule for
on indefinite period. Perhaps it would be
we'll enough, just for show. 20 remove tic
disabilities imposed upon the intelligent class
es Of the south by the fourteenth amendment
I! they are removed, we can, under the op-
eratioas Of the ku klux bill, arrest and im>
prison every one Of them and hold them un~
til after the presidential election, when they
can be released on parole. / think this sug-
gestion will meet with the hearty approval
of the loyal north.
NY SON FRED.
When 7 was boy, the impecunioUs con-
dtion of my venerable father precluded tie
possibility of my travelling abroad ''strange
countries for TO see." Now that am well
of, l am determined that my son Frederick
shall labor under no such embarrassing dis
advantages. So | have sent him to Europe
in charge of General Sherman. I desire that
he should become acquainted thoroughly
with the workings Of the governments of
the old world, as you we'll know that we are
trying to remodel ours on the European plaC
ald Of course under those circumstances
Frederick would be my successor. Conse-
Guently he should have that experience and
education which would enable him to fill the
position with that dignity which l know
nothing Of / would recommend that con,
gress appropriate the sum Of fifty thousand
dollars to be forwarded at once to my son.
in order to enable him to travel as becomes
the son of the head of great nation.
MRS. CATACAZY.
This lady's outrageous conduct in pressm-
ing to force herself into the pure atmosphere
Of Washington society when it is well
known fact that she was divorced from a
former husband in Europe. has resulted in
the recall of her husband, who didn't amount
to much. He is not nobeman. My friend.
the emperor of Russia. promptly recalled
him at my request. Had his wife never
been divorced from her former husband. bit
had taken up with Catacazy on the Wood
hull plan, her conduct would not have out
ragged the sensbilities Of our first society
here. They are both gone aud am glad of
