DISGRACE.

Never before has an American Presi-
dent been so severely handled by the
press as Grant has been. This, from the
Courier.Journal, is but specimen Of
hundreds: General Grant, it is said, has
notified all olIice-seekers that he is not
to be bored by them during his stay at
Long Branch, and that all parties having
axes to grind will find the proper grind
stone for the business at the head of
some one of the departments at Wash
ington. lie has gone TO the whisky and
watering place on the shores of New
Jersey in search Of ease and pleasure,
and his serene repose Of body ard
mind is not to be disturbed by the
wild hunt after Office. But Of course IL
YOU want anything in his line and will
approach the gift cottage on the beach,
bearing in yonr hand the deed to the
real estate you propose to give, or what
ever the qUid pro quo may be, Why then
you don't belong to the Troublesome class
of men the President wishes TO exclude
from his august presence, and you are
welcome to enter and stay as long as
you please. Business ia business, even
amid the roses and raptures of the
Branch; but pleasure always before bust
ness with the common herd who come,
not to give, but to receive only.

MINERALS IN TENNESSEE.

The Union and American says the
East Tennesseean has seen a letter from
Cumberland county which mentions the
recent discovery of rich mineral deposits
in Laurel Valley. or the route Of the
proposed Tennessee and Pacific rail
road, consisting of silver, copper, lead,
zinc. iron and coal, aud also some indi-
cations Of petroleum. The first named
metal is said to be most plentiful A
shaft is being sunk TO test the value Of
the discovery as regards the silver de-
post The location Of these discoveries
is in valley lying between Obed river
and Dodge's creek, on the Allegheny
range Of the Cumberland Mountains.
The discovery was made by a geOlogist
who was employed by the owner Of the
land, and has caused no little excite
ment in the neighborhood. The moun-
tAins and hills and valleys Of Tennessee
abound in all these minerals, and it only
needs capital and enterprise to develop
them to make this one Of the wealthiesi
States in the Union.

RnrTEH mol THE CORE.

A Washington dispatch has this start
ling statement:
A circular was issued from the Inter
nal Revenue Bureau yesterday In winch
il is attempted, by ex-parte statements,
TO reduce the defalcations of ex-collee-
tors to $3,000,000. In an official doc
ument communicated to Congress by the
Secretary Of the Treasury, these deialea-
tons are represented TO exceed S2O,O0O,-
900, and yet no case has been prosecuted
with yigor and success. The bondsmen
arc either straw bail or are politi-
clans in collision with the collec-
TORS 10 rob the Treasury, and
hence they are mot prosecuted. Some
Radical Senator or Representative asks
for postponement, and that is usually the
end Of any attempt as legal remedy.
Take a case which recently occurred.
Collector Speer, of Kansas, defaulted for
Sl5s, 900, when a prominent Western
Senator and an ex-Representative had
the case compromised for $ll 900, thus
making a clean profit of sl47, 900 on the
speculation. 1t is believed that II the
secret archieves Of the Administration
could be explored, 100000, 600 would
not cover the defalcations Of Government
officers since Grants Administration
came into power.

The Cincinnati Enquirer says; The
anniversary of the battle of Bunker
Hill-the 18th Of Jlne-was an eventful
one to Mr.. Vallandigham. Had the
horoscope Of fate cast its influence upon
his belief, he certainly would have re-
garded this day with superstition and
apprehension. 1t was on the 18th OF
June, 1863, that he ran the blockade
from the South and encountered the
dangers of exile, the sea and death.
On the 18th of June, 1864, year to a
day exactly, he reached his own home
and made q speech at Dayton, then
laboring under an apprehension OF re-
newed military arrest. On the 18th Of
June, 1871, he died a victim to anun-
lucky accident from his own hands. 1t
so happened that it was seven years
after his return, and in year in which
the figure seven so prominently appears

BUrLER ON DIGNITY.

Ben Butler has issued pamphlet in
which he defends himself from the fiery
darts of Davis and Farnsworth. In con-
clusion he says:
propose never to allow myself TO be
called again into personal controversy
ON these topics, certainly not with the
gentleman from Illinois, who, by his
conduct in printing a calumnlous speech
as if delivered in the House, and DIS
tributing II under his own frank, has, so
far as am concerned, put himself out
of the rules Of civilized warfare. HIS
tongue nor pen can never hereafter be
deemed by me SANDER or libel upon
any one, certainly not upon myself.
How sad AID it should not be sad
either So pure man should produce
no sensations but those Of pleasure. AT
first it seems to the country that 1t
is a melancholy fact that he will
never again enter into row with
Farnsworth; but when it is reflected
upon properly it turns out to be
ouite the reverse. Why should he soil
his spoonless hands with such an antag-
onist2 Let Farnsworth rage. Let him
throw dirt as much as he pleases. The
spotless patriot of Lowell will cover him
self as with a garment Of serenity and
LET him slide. A man who can gobble
spoons, rob banks, insult the highest
ladies Of the land, and afterwards go TO
Congress from Massachusetts,, and be-
come the bosom friend Of Grant, should
not debase himself by contact with such
a man as Farnsworth.

Hospitality.

ance of an intolerable bore, Old A.
was known to every one as Cabling,
meddIesome creature, without grace or

every Office in the place, peered into pri-
vate papers, always gave his opinion I'M

brief made a chronic nuisance of him

CT determined TO give the party such
