IT seems to be understood that Gov.
Curtin intends to renounce his honorable
exile in st. Petersburg, and to come home
in order to take part in the Presidential
campaign, either as candidate-if that
be practicable-or as an active partici-
pator. Several of his personal friends
have just been removed from the custom
house in Philadelphia for being "dis-
loyal" to the denomination of Mr.. Grant,
which is now the objectionable sin in the
eyes of Collector Forney, who was more
than inclined himself to the same mode OF
thought only few weeks ago. Gov
Curtin still holds considerable influence
in Pennsylvania, and viii be apt to exer-
else it in way that will not satisfy the
military ring in these parts.

MR. CHARLES A. DANA, who was AS
sistant Secretary of War when Grant was
sfoolipg aroundn down On the Missis-
sippi, makes this declaration through his
New York Sun: SIN the first half of
1868, when he (Gran) was digging canals
opposite Vicksburg, we saved him from
being relieved from the command of the
Army of Tennessee and sent back TO
Galena, to remain in obscurity for the
rest of his natural life.n If Dana can re-
call that act, in which he appeared in the
role of a "saver, without the most poig-
nsnt psngs of remorse, his state must be
q wretched one indeed.

The Sad Story OF The Erring Sisters,
os Told by Their Aged Mother.
NEw YORK, May ga morning paper
says that yesterday afternoon, before
Justice Ledwith, in the Essex Market
police court, application was made by
Annie Claflin, mother of Mrs. Victoria
G. Woodruff, to issue a warrant for the
arrest of James II. Blood, alias DR.. ]. H.
Harvey, the CO." of the firm of Wood
hull, Claf1in 81 %. Mrs. c. says in her
affidavit that Blood, otherwise known as
DR.. j. Il. Harvey, occupies the same
bed with her daughter, Victoria, and that
said Blood had been in her family for
the last six years. Since his entrance
into her family, he had made every effort
to corrupt, and has corrupted not only
her daughter Victoria, but through his
Vaccinations and intrigues, has excited
her daughter, Tennessee, and entirely
weaned them from the deponent. And
depOnent says during the time she re-
sided in the said house, she has often
heard the said Blood insist that her
daughter Tennessee should make efforts
to receive the attentions of different
married gentlemen, in order that said
Blood and said Victoria Isnd Tennessee
might, combinedly, make money out of
such persons. And the deponent says
she has known such married gentlemen
who have been taken in and blackmailed
in said house. She had often heard
Blood, who is the receiver of all moneys
that come into the possession of the firm
of Woodruff, Claflin s. Co., say, that no
books or any account have been kept by
said firm till very recently; and in case
any trouble should arise between dealers
with the said firm and themselves, great
trouble would come upon said firm, and
that Broad street would be too hot for
them She further says she believes
that Blood is endesvoring to ruin her
daughters, especially Tennessee, and as
he has threatened her life, che adds that
she did not feel safe from Blood, and
prays that he may be arrested and dealt
with according to law.
The affidavit is supported by others,
signed by MIR. and Mrs Spar, daughter
and son-in-law of Mrs. Claf1in. Mrs.
Woodruff Indignantly denies the asser-
tions, and says it is merely an attempt to
levy blackmail Her mother, old and
weak-minded, has been induced by some
means, TO make the affidavit, which is a
black and infamous lie.

The Washington correspondent of the
Louisville Ledger writes, May 4: ''Ex-
Commissioner Van Aernam, of the PEN
sion Of1ce, retired by Grant to make
room for an official who would not con-
slider it his duty to prosecute Radical
Congressman when they were engaged in
defrauding the wives sad orphans of
dead soldiers through the agency
of that bureau, took his for
NAL leave of his old employees to-day.
1t viii be remembered that this is the
officer who procured the Indictment of
Roderick Butler, of Tennessee, but who
failed of conviction in the Criminal
Court here by reason of the gross negli-
gence of the Prosecuting Attorney,
Fisher. In this connection it may be
stated on the best of authority that Van
Aernam furnished all the necessary evil
dence at the time of trial to insure But
ler's conviction of both forgery and per-
Jury, but that Fisher withheld it 60 that
the Court could do nothing but order
Buffers discharge"

Surmises about Summer.

The report that Sumner is writing q
speech in opposition to the treaty, and
will take occasion in it to explain his un-
friendly relations with Secretary Fish, is
unfounded. Sumner has not seen the
treaty, and will not oppose it unless, after
examination, he thinks it is unwise and
defective. Senator Morton will probably
have charge of the treaty in the Senate.
