Since the Baltimore Convention the corridors and
halls OF our leading hotels have been crowded with
politicians from all parts Of the country, whom
business and pleasure has brought to the city. The
Presidential election is the alabsorbing topic Of
conversation. and the names OF Greeley and Grant,
Wilson and Brown, are heard on every side. The
majority Of these incline to the side of Greeley and
are loud In praise Of his virtues and in prophecies
Of his coming triumph. 1t was at first sup
posed that the wealth and capital Of
the country were arrayed against the Phi
losopher but recent events have proved this to be
erroneous, as merchants, capitalists and business
men from every section are daily pronOuncing In
his favor. The politicians from the South are al
most unanimously for Horace, every name Of
prominence being found ON his side. Below will be
found conversations with General Longstreet, the
ex-C0nfederate general, who has deserted
Grant, and State Senator Swords, Of Louis
lana, in which may be found the views
entertained by the leading men Of the South upon
the political prospect

There was no stir whatever at the Fifth Avenue

Some people may regard the desper-
ate efforts made by the leading Rad
icals in Congress to defeat every effort
to investigate the alleged corruptions
in the different departments of the
Government as evidence of the hon.
esty and immaculate purity of the
present administration but there are
people who, in their simplicity, believe
that if the affairs of the Government
are being as faithfully and honestly
conducted as these leaders alIege there
is no necessity for their being so ex-
eeedingly tender-footed upon the
subject of investigation that if all
these charges of frauds and pucula-
tions are base falsehoods, instead of
efforts to stave off and prevent inves-
tigation they should court and demand
it, and when discovered they should
denounce it, aud not seek to white
wash it over and cover it up.

Disastrous Floods in Scotland.

A cable telegram of the 25th, says
Dispatches from Dundee give accounts
of wide spread devastation by the
flood i'll the Valley of the Tay. The
waters of the Firth and the river Tay
overflowed their banks last night, and
poured into the plains on both sides,
sweeping everything before them
from Dundee, at the mouth to APPOINT
above Perth, on the south side of the
River Tay, and the head of navigation.
The level country around the latter
city is covered with water, and por-
tions of Dundee are rendered uiIin-
habitable. The railroad between the
two cities is washed away in many
places, and much of the road-bed must
be rebuilt. In Dundee the damage
to property is immense. The lower
stories of several large warehouses,
filled with jute aud fax, are flooded,
and thousands of bales of flax destroy
ed. No estimate can be formed of the
losses in the country along the river
banks. a

coaches, the tender, baggage, express
and mail cars, anG all were piled to-
gether in one mass of ruins below.

ResolUed, That competency, honesty,

Investigation Demanded.

In recent discussion on the FEEDER
al House of Representatives Messrs.
Beck, Morgan, Niblack and Cox char
ged that the Navy Department lad, in
violation OF law, spent millions on
millions which they had received
from the sales of vessels and other
material, at prices from one half to
two-thirds below their first cost, and
had rendered no account of these most
extraordinary transactions. No sue
eessfuI refutation of these charges
was made by Republican members,
and the House unanimously adopted
resolution calling on the Navy De-
partment for an explanation.
1t must be confessed that these dam
aging charges are not wholly unwar-
ranted by the facts. When the war
closed we had $50 vessels, which cost
the Government S5O0,OOO,O00, while
at the present time there are but l79
vessels of all classes-good, bad and

ton that everything is conducted hon
