New York. All.

NEW YORK, Aug. Il.
George Kingsland, book keeper of
the Hudson County National Bank, of
Jersey City, has decamped to Europe,
being defaulter for $4,000. Wine
and women was the cause.
DIR. Howard, who returned from
Spanish Imprisonment, attributed his
release to the efforts of the American
Press, to which he returns his warmest
thanks. He thinks Fish might have
acted more promptly and that the
Government with all the proofs before
it, that he was an American citizen,
might have abbreviated, or at least all
leyiated his suffering. Howard will
go to Washington in day or two and
present his claim, which is for q pretty
round sum, including loss Of Medical
business, at Cienfuegos and property,
the latter valued at $4,000. He will
not return to Cuba. He says he was
loaded with chains OH transport-ship
and lodged in the hold, and when he
wanted water, had to 60 OH deck drag
ging his chains behind him: these ex..
ertions and the bad food gave him dis
entary. The COmmandant of the pri-
son at Cadiz, was brute and thief:
some prisoners there actually died from
eating the food. Howard had to pro-
cure food outside, for which the Com
mandant charged double. No other
prisoners were allowed to converse
with him, no letters or papers were nj
lowed TO reach him, willie the filth
and vermin were terrible.

CRATE BROWNS LETTER.

| Gratz Brown was charged with
drunkenness at New Haven. After a
months silence he puts in this limpine
protest:
| JEFFERSON CITY, Aug. Z, 1872.
NY DEAR SIR Since returning home
my attention has been called to an ar.
ticle in one of your New Haven pa.
pers, that transcends TO such an extent
the ordinary license of political abuse
that am unwilling to rest quietly un.
der its aspersion.
The statement, in so far as it relates
| to myself, is very erroneous, and in SO
far as ii implies that my habits are in.
| temperate, is unwarranted. You and
| | were together most of the evening
| of my departure, and l see from the
press you have already signified that
you recognized no improperly in nv
department, whilst the preceding even-
ing which is alluded to, and which was
spent with my class up to very late
hour, was, as all present will testify,
one of total abstinence on my part
Sharing the room of friend at the
hotel, was only there transiently du-
ring the day, and that when suffering
severely from the beginning of the
disease which Frustrated me SO vio-
lently few hours after my arrival in
in New York city. 1t will scarcely
be considered that the application of
stimulant for temporary relief would
constitute departure from that pur-
pose to avoid social indulgence whilst
in the discharge ofpublic duties which
has influenced me for a long time past.
Indeed, may say, in justiceto myself,
that, whilst have never advocated to-
tai abstinence as principle, yet its
practice by me for many years; at ca
yious intervals, has resulted entirely
from a judgment as to what best COM
ported with the performance of my
own duty in official position. l trust,
moreover, never to be unfaithful to
that duty in the future, as have new
er knowingly been in the past, and
shall leave the record of twenty years
Of public service as the best answer to
those so willing to misconstrue me.
] enclose you herewith note receiv-
ed OH yesterday, which bears on the
same subject.
With very high regard and esteem,
yours, truly, b. GRAFT BROWN.
Hon. JAMES K. ENGLISH.
Mr.. Brown, it will be seen, has some
peculiar notions. Being drunk, at the
college where he graduated, and while
candidate for Vice President, would
generally be deemed evidence Of Sin
temperate habits but Mr.. Brown
links such an inference is "unwar-
lanted." He says further that he has
practiced total abstinence for years,
''dt Ca,ious Intervals This may be
true, but it does not appear that the
intervals" have ever been Of four
years duration. Ii Mr.. Brown intends
his letter as denial, how does he get
along with this statement of the clerk
Of the New Haven House.
u know that sold him six drinks
of brandy, and think that | sold him
eight, and he paid for them. When
he came down to the Office, before 90
ing to the boat, to pay his bill, saw
that he was very drunk"
Is it desirable to have another An

Senate, or Chief Executive Of the ma

Carl Schurz is disgusted with Amer,

Carl Schurz is disguised with Ameri-
can politics. The trouble with him is,
he said about year ago that he would
not support Grant if nominated, and
because the three and a half mil
lions of Republican voters did not
obey his behests, his vcxed soul crieth
out in mingled disgust and despair, ut
the perverseness Of Republicans. He
is especially vexed at the obstinacy of
German Republicans, because they do
not meekley bow at the wave of his
potential arm. Carl you are cunning
of speech and constitutionally revolu-
tionary, and withal smart in the COM
mon acceptation of the term, but the
German element has tens of thousands
your superior, in good sound practical
judgment and integrity of purpose.
We remember many gallant Germans,
who, while not SO GLIDE of tongue were
not either SO nimble of foot as you have
been. Carts disgust will probably be
quadrennial, so long as he stays in the
country, for we can assure him that he
will find at each Presidential election,
if he stays where he is, millions of vo-
tiers in the Republican party who will
not vote as he tells them nor at his die
tation.

The Chicago Journal publishes this
article, which we re-publish for the
consideration of all concerned:
What did Horace Greeley mean in
his letter to the New York Tribune of
June 8, last year, written on the Sd Of
that month, when he said:
IL am confident that two thirds Of
the men, with nine-tenths of the Wo-
men, who formerly composed the
slaveholding caste, would this day
give half their houses and lands to
have their slaves back again, lust as
they possessed them in 1850
They consider themselves robbed by
emancipation, and would like their
property back, or its value in some
equivalent"
And what did he trieal, BY saving in
the same letter, that "they - the
rebels
propose to renew the fight, but
not with gun and saber. They expect
to regain as Democrats, through cleo
ton, the power they lost as rebels
through war;"
And what did emean when, in the
same communication, speaking of the
colored vote, he stated that
They will seek to coerce enough
of It into voting the Democratic ticket
to give them q majority Of the South
ern electoral vote for next President ~
And what does the following ex-
tract from the speech of Governor
Brown, of Tennessee, at q recent
Greeley ratification meeting at Nash
vile, mean?
He supported Greeley because he
loved the South, bailed JEFF Davis.
advocated universal amnesty, and had
no kinfolk. He did not care what Gree
ley had said in the past against the south
and its institutions. It was enough
for him to know that he was in favor
Of restoring her to her pristine rights,
Greeley, II elected, acould pay the losses
Of the South, and set her people on the
high road to wealth and happiness
And what are the Taxpayers of the
country to infer from this statement OF
Golliday, Democratic Representa-
tive In Congress, made at the same
timc and place?
"Greeley, at the outset Of the war,
was in favarOf letting the swayward
sisters depart in peace and afterward
went single handed and alone to meet
our Commissioners in Canada, to treat
for peace. Not a Democrat in the
North dared 60 with him, or manifest
ed any desire to 60. He was then in
favor of paying the South for her
slaves, and / believe he is still"
These statements of the "Liberal .
candidate and his friends are respect
fully recommended to the considers
ton of all men who believe that their
taxes are already sufficiently heavy,
and who propose that the results oi
the war shall stand as thoy are, un-
tinkered and unimpaired.

Since the days of our grandmothers,
there has never been such a rage for
trimmings upon ladies' dresses and
suits as this year and the most popu-
lar is the SO called French fold, made
from bias material, put upon the dress
in variety Of styles. To trim dress
es at the present day without the vari-
GUS Sewing Machine attachments
would be an impossibillity.
A young man in Chicago has Just
invented an Improvement for all Sew
ing Machines, with which to put on
the fold as fast and as easily as an Or
binary hem can be made. The same
implement is also a practical Binder
and good Hemmer.
1t is being made and sold by the
Leslie Rufiler Company, and is valu-
able addition to the Sewing Machine.
1t is called Comings' French Trim
mer, and will be sold by all Sewing
Machine Agents.-C Chicago Ece,,iag
