Grant on the Situation.
NEW YORK, August 22.-President
Grant has informed an ''intervieWar"
at Long Branch that he thinks there
is no lack of harmony among the
New York Republicans, as the dis
cord which so many try to make al
ways closes up when election time
comes; that the New Orleans muddle
is beyond his fathOming; that the
Tammany frauds and Orange riots
will defeat the Democratic party in
New York, and that if we cannot get
from the Coreans a treaty which will
protect our sailors there in future, we
won't force treaty from the COreans,
but will teach them lesson that will
probably protect our sailors just as
well.
