Grant Meeting in New York-Speech of Henry
Ward Beecher.

New York, April 10.-A mass meeting
oil friends Of President Grant was held in
the brooklyn Academy of Music tonight.
The building was well filled. N. B. Nor
gan presided. Letters were received from
). b. Chittenden and Governor Jewell. of
Connecticut, iavoring the denomination of
Grant and Colfax. Resolutions eulosizing
the administration of Grant and Colfax
were adopted amid hearty applause.
Henry Ward Beecher was the principal
speaker. He said in order to have good
government men of standing in the COM
munity and sincerity in politics should
come forward, ministers as we'll as law
men /; but it was impossible to administer
government without politicians, and this
should be no reproach to them. The
coming campaign was not 80 much between
the Republican and Democratic parties as
between the Republicans themselves.
Mr.. Beecher spoke highly of Sumner and
Schurz. No one could surpass him in graf
ltude to Sumner for the great work of his
lie, and he was glad our emigrant popula-
ton had representative as pure, wise, sa-
gaciouss, and eloquent as Schurz, and how
ever he, Beecher, might dissent from
him he believed HIM an honest
man The same was true of Sena-
tor Trumbull. Now they propose to meet
in Cincinnati. What the result will be no
prophet can foretell. If they can make
certain great features of policy clearer. if
they can bring out into strong light certain
Impending necessities you and and every
man Will go with them, and we say in
advance, "If you can raise up a moral
power there SO acting upon the con-
yention of Philadelphia that it shall
lift its platform higher than it would have
been without you acting, we will hail your
administration and accept. your influence.
[Great applause.1
Mr.. Beecher defended the Republican
party at length. While he thought the
Administration had been guilty of some
shortcomings and mistakes. he claimed
that on the whole Grant was the best man
IN the party to occupy the White House.

African EXPLORATION.

The research into that dim region,
Chat world still lying obscure while ali
other worlds roll into light, and even
Japan breaks the seals of Its mystic
seclusion, is passion, an enthusiasm, a

later life and death absolutely and for
ever lost, when he is suddenly greeted
in his own language, by man of his
own race, who has come straight from
the outer world to find him. But even
in that moment, which was indeed a
resurrection, he still turns the lotus
upon his tongue, and its taste is sweetel

( During the month of October, beside
reducing the public debt S5,228 All, in
dependent of the greenback question,
the Government put into temporary cir
culation S4,566,664 of legal-tenders
The explanation is simply this A law
of Congress authorizes the Secretary of
the Treasury to call in per cent. certif-
Gates. Thedesign was to neither contract
nor expand the cure ncy of the county
while granting the added banking facii-
ties required by the increased business of
the country. The exchange was author
lied to the extent of $4,000, 900. In carry
ing out the provisions of this act the Secre-
tary found during last month that the
retirement of three per cents. exceeded
the issue of new nation al bank currency
$4,566,6 64, and, as the money market
was close, he rightly judged that the
Government ought to remedy that slight
temporary contraction. He accordingly
put in circulation enough reserved
green backs to make good the deficiency
That is the long and short of the whole
| matter.
Of the $54,0OOOO0 of these per cents
there are only about FIVE millions left
and these will soon be displaced by non
| Understanding currency. The annua
saving to the Government by the retire
ment of these certificates will be 81 ,620,
900. On the last day of the present
calendar year 81, 250, 900 more of these
certificates are to be surrendered. Tae
