THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY OH
GRANT

The Atlantic Monthly would be nothing
II not Radical, but it appears that even il
has become SUBJECTED of Grant. In the po-
litical department of the January number,
that magazine thus discourses about Grant
and his administration
aNeither the Cincinnati Commercial,
nor the Chicago Tribune, nor the Spring
field Republican, northe New York tribune,
would be displeased if Gen. Grant failed in
securing denomination. There are many
reasons, too, why Gen. Grants cOntinu-
ance in the office would be regretted
BY other people. As q rule, military
men are not the stuff to make good states
men for an unmilitary and COM
mercial society. For the most part they
entertain a professional contempt for law,
even when they avow their loyalty to it.
OF this popularity Gen. Grants admins
tration has given at least one signal illustra-
ton. Declaring himself firmly opposed to
intervention in the affairs of foreign nations,
he has for some time past maintained pro-
fectorate of San Domingo, which is in reali-
ty an illegal war against Hayti, carried on
in the teeth of distinct provision Of the
Constitution. Again, Gen. Grant seems
ignorant Of the elementary principles Of
economical science to the extreme of be-
Iieving that the chief source Of the wealth
of this country is to be found in the mines
Of California. His system of appointments
has been unintelligible. Appointments
such as Mr. Murphy's and Consul Gen.
Buffers are possible, we see, because COM
missions have been issued to them; but
how the same man who appointed Mr.. Muir
ply and Consul Gen. Butler should also
have appointed Mr.. Fish and Judge Hoar,
is inexpicable. Besides all this, he has
shown singular want of delicacy, to say
the least, in receiving innumerable presents,
and indirectly profiting himself out of gov
ernment contracts. To own stock in a
commercial enterprise is one thing, but to
own stock in corporation which is daily
shaking valuable contracts with the depart
raents at Washington, is, for the President
of the United States, quite another. We do
not impugn his honesty. He is no doubt
innocent Of all share in the management of
the administration quarry but such a
scandal ought not to be possible"

the testimony of Charles l.. Ketchum in
regard to Mrs. WhartOn's claim of having
paid the note for 81, 600, and of having given
to Gen. Ketchum bonds for conversion.
Mrs. Helen VanNess was called and testi-
fed she was the wife of Eugene VaDNess.
She was at the house of Mrs. Wharton from
June oath, nursing her husband who was
sick there. On Sunday night after she had
retired she was awakened by Mrs. Wharton
coming into her room. Mrs. Wharton was
opening the door of the washstand She
said Gen. Ketchum was sick and she was
going to give him paregoric and mint. She
could not find the paregoric and left the
room to look for it but returned in few
minutes and said she remembered Nellie
had used it. The Doctor ordered wine
glass full of milk punch for the sick man her
husband. Mrs. Wharton and others were
present. The witness made the punch and
Mrs. Wharton suggested that a double
quantity be made. She made it in tumb-
Ter and poured half into the wine glass
The tumbler containing the remainder /
put in the nursery refrigerator and stirred
Mr.. Eugene VanNess was called and in
reply to question said he did not see Mrs.
Wharton in his room Saturday, Sunday or
Monday night. Saw her several times in
the day time,
The prosecution explained that this was
to show Mrs. Wharton not engaged in
nursing Mr.. VanNess during that period.
Benz. w. Brice was called and testified as
follows: Am Paymaster General of the
United States Army. Knew Gen. Ketchum
well for thirty odd years. His health was
remarkably good all his life. He was a
strong robust man, and of careful and regu-
lar habits. Was not addicted to the use of
drugs. Was Total Abstinence man du-
ring the whole of our acquaintance. Never
noticed any change in yigOr and clearness
of his mind. Gen. Brice detailed the cir
eumstances of Mrs. Wharton's visit to his
office in company with Charles and James
Ketchum in regard to $4,0O0in bonds. His
statements correspondent with the testimony
of other witnesses in this case.
Charles l.. Ketchum recaIIed-He is adj
ministering on his fathers estate. No claim
has been presented against the estate by
Mrs. Wharton. On cross examination, he
stated that Mrs. Wharton told him that his
father had made viii which had not been
found. The Attorney General stated that
he would move the case for the prosecution
tomorrow. Adjourned.

The Complaint Of She United States.
NEW YORK, Dec. 18.-At the meeting Of
the tribunal of arbitration appointed to con-
slider the treaty of Washington, the case on
behalf of the United States was represented
by Hon. D. G. Davis. After reciting the
provisions of the treatment, the statement
proceeded:
The United States have the honor to-day
before the tribunal arbitration, this their
pointed, case accompanied by documents,
the official correspondence and other evil
dence on which they rely. They propose
to show by historical statement the course
pursued by the British Government towards
the United States from the outbreak of the
instruction in the Southern States
that there was on the part of
that Government a studied unfairness
or fixed predisposition adverse to the United
States, which furnished a constant motive
for several acts Of omission and commission
hereinafter complained of as inconsistent
with its duty as a neutral. Having ad-
duced the evidence of this fact the
United States will next endeavor to
show what they deem to have
been the duties of Great Britain
towards the United States in respect to
several cruisers. The United States will
then endeavOr to show that Great Britain
waited to perform these duties both gener-
ally and specifically as to each of the cruis-
ers, and that such failure involved liability
to remunerate the United States for the
losses thus inflicted upon them, on
the citizens, and upon others
protected by this flag. Lastly the United
States will endeavor to sytisiy the tribunal
Of arbitration that it can find in the testi-
mony ample material for estimating the
AMOUNT of such injuries and will ask the
tribunal to exercise the power conferred by
the treaty Of awarding sum in the gross
to be paid by Great Britain to the United
States for all claims.

MEXICO.
Unhappy State of AfaIrs-AnnexatIOn
to the United States Predicted, etc.


CITY OF MEXICO, Dec. 1.-THE revOlu-
ton continues to spreaG. The States of Ca
SAGA, Nueva Leon, Sonora, Durango and
Zac;Stecas are in the power of the revolu-
tionists, and pronGnciamentOs prevail in
San Luis, Vera Cruz and Puebla. Presi-
dent Juarez opened the session of Congress
on the first, with remarkable speech on the
situation. He said the country appears to
be consuming itself in unfruitful struggles,
and the military again opposed the standard
of legality to bring back the time when
revolution signified change of individuals
in power. He counts upon the aid Of Con-
gress to suppress the seditiOus movement.
The Speaker Of Congress replied that Con-
gress trusts peace will soon be re-estabEshed,
and the Republic satisfied with the re-slec-
ton of Juarez, excepting the States of Nue.
va Leon and COsaca, aud bandits who are
robbing the conductors. Juarez has closed
the ports of San Angelo and SOlinas Creme.
He maintains fearless attitude, and speaks
confidently of crushing the rebellion.
The Government troops to the number
Of 1900 are pursuing Por6rio Diaz, who
has 5000 or 1000 men. 1t is supposed,
however, that Gen. Rochas will retreat from
Tehuacan, and viii be the beginning of the
government reverses, as Diaz is the best
general. Escobedo has resigned the Gov
ernOrship and taken the field with ample
facilities. .sr.--
An equivalent to a dictatorship has been
granted to the Juarez Governor Of States.
The journals of the capital are discussing
the probabilities of an American protector
ate. Except among officials and consuls,
the belief in an early American interven-
ton is credited, and considered the only
salvation for the country. Two Republican
journals boldly announce that the present
events are driving to protectorate or an
nexation to the United States.
Levies continue, and the streets are be-
coming thinned of able-bodied men.
1t is reported that Gen. ROehas continues
to retreat, and that several States are de-
clared in a state of siege.
The revolutionary chiefs have repadiated
the Diaz proclamation.
Garcia Gardena, a member of Congress,
and a revolutionary General, was arrested
in San Luis, and viii be brought to the cap
ital for trial.
The Backbone of the Rebellion BrOk-
en-.
NEW YORK, Dec. 1S.-The Herald's city
of Mexico special of 18th states that the
backbone of the rebellion is broken. The
revolutionary General, Diaz, is losing favor
with his adherents, and many military COM
manders considered doubtful have recogniz-
ed President Juarez and yield obedience to
the Government.
LONDON, Dec. 18.-A special dispatch
from Versailles to the Standard announces
that Romero has gone to Washington to ne
gotiate a loan for the Mexican government.

GREAT BRITAIN.

LoNDON-noon-Dec 1S.-Morning bull
letins from Sandringham announce that the
Prince of Wales slept well all night, and his
condition is in all respects satisfactory.
Prayers were offered in all the churches
yesterday for his complete recovery.
p. M.-An official bulletin from San
dringham says the Prince of Wales has
passed quiet day. Blegg, the Princes
groom, died to-day from typhoid fever, con-
tracted about the same time with his ROYAL
Highness.
The Queen leaves Windsor to-day for
Osborn where she will stay during the holi-
days.
A public rejoicing took place at Windsor
to-day over the convalescence Prince of
Wales. A large number were roasted
by order of the London authorities,
and general feast was held, to which the
poor and many other persons were in
vited.
Ex-Empress Eugene sailed from Gibral-
tar on the 10th for England.
Seventeen Seamen Drowned.
The French bark Costa Rica was run int
last night by an unknown vessel off tho
Isle of Wright and sunk, carrying down
seventeen of the crew. A unknown vessel
hurried off and made no attempt to assist.
American Affairs.
The Times of to-day contains an editorial
on American affairs, its topic being Presi-
dent Grants message, and the accompany
ing documents, full copies of which have
been received by mail. The Times article
says it is struck with astonishment by the
exposition of the unbounded facilities of
production of the United States. The
Times expresses the belief that, as general
thing, the propositions of the Secretary of
the Treasury should be adopted. 1t never
theless hopes that the American Congress
will reject Boutwell's proposal for giving
subsidies to persons employing American
built iron steamships. The Times approves
Of the propositions for Incorporating the
telegraph with the PCstofice Department,
in relation to the establishment of savings
banks, and for notifications of the civil
service in the direction of reform.

persons, thus paying debts to the amoant o :
about $50. In these times of closeness in

much good is done when people pay their
debts.
