Dana VS.. Grant.

Dana, Of the New York Sun, IS carrying on
a vigorous warfare against Grant and his ad-
ministration. He was once a Grant man, and
assistant Secretary of War under Stanton.
Hear him;
We supported Grant when be served his
country faithfully we sustained him even
when, in the earlier part Of the siege of Yicks-
burg, Mr.. LncolnS Administration had be-
gun to regard him as Incapable; and we save
ed him then from being sent back to obscure
" IN GGlena. This we did because it seemed
best for she country that he should be retained
in command Of the army; Just so in 1868 it
was evident that bis election rs President and
the defeat Of the Democratic candidate were
necessary, In order to realize and secure the
fruits Of tie war, and we went for 1t accord
ingly.
But wler, as President, Gen. Grant began
to degrade bis office and to lead the country
the wrong way, we at once condemned him,
and shall continue TO do 50 as long as he de-
serves it, This kind Of independent and faith
fol criticism, pardsans and partisan journals
are unable TO understand; but while the half
million Of people who daily read the Sun not
only understand but approve 1t, the rest makes
no difference

More "Rights" Demanded.

President Grant was waited upon on We'd
nesday by delegations Of colOred people
Speeches were made giving The President the
views of the coored folks on Mr. Summers
Supplementary Civil Rights Bill. The Presi-
dent was asked, if consistent with his ideas, to
send a Message to Congress requesting the pas
sage Of DIr. Summers bill as an amendment to
the pending amnesty bill.
At the conclusion Of the speeches the Presi-
dent remarked that he had no doubt that the
colored people were denied Of some rights and
privileges they had a clear claim to. His inn
preston was that the recent amendments to the
constitution conferred upon them all the privi-
leges Of citizenship, and he thorght the courts
would accord them all their legal rights with
held. With regard to amending the amnesty
bill by the addition of the supplementary civil
rights bill, the President considered that such
action would jeopardizs the passage Of an am
uesty law; while from his knowlege Of Mr.
Summers bin be believed it could pass on its
merits as q separate measure.

National Conservative Parry.


To the Editors Of The Washington Patriot:
There seems to be a political ground-sweh
throughout the country. From every direc-
ton there comes unmistakable indications Of
widespread popular desire for the organization
Of party that will rally to its support the
Isgions Of voters who are as strongly opposed
10 the revival Of " dead issues as they are in
favor Of the maintenance Of constitutional linn
ita,ions-the key stone of our political fabric.
The people seem to be ahead of their leaders
in this movement, which has not yet taken
any definite shape, the general opinion being
that nothing can or will be done until the ses-
sion Of Congress, when statesmen and pOliti-
clans from every State in the Union will rem
dezrOus at Washington. There will, l aPpre-
bend, be no little opposition to the formation
Of a third party, but desire to call atten-
ton to the fact that such party-and pow
erlul one it isis already in existence in one
Of the largest aud most influential States Of
the Republic. refer to The Conservative
party Of Virginia" This party is composed Of
Wings, Democrats, and Republicans who have
associated themselves into political organi-
zation for the suppression Of Radicalism -
a term which eomprehends every political
beresy that can be mentioned or described.
sc The Conservative party of Virginia is
not the Democratic party, nor the old Wing
party revived. 1t is, as have said, the fusion
Of the best elements Of all The pre-existing
parties-one with which any man may con-
scientiously unite who is in favor of constitu-
al government, aud opposed to the ascendan-
cy Of corruption, ignorance, and despotism
Here, then, is nucleus, rallying point, for
s1ch a great party as the country neods--a
" National Conservative party" There is some
thing in a name, and this one certainly sounds
well. Ifmy views are found to contain any force
trust that immediate steps will be taken to
promote the organization Of the national party.
The Democrats Of the North could not regard
the plan with dishvor, for they already recog-
uize the Virginia Conservatives as their allies,
and in all essentials the aim and object OF the
two parties are identical. But, l repeat,
there is something in a name" and my con-
yictiou is, that the merging of the Democratic
party into the National Conservative party F"
is the only sure method Of rescuiug the land
from misrule aud destruction.
From information which has reached me |
am cerctaa that the Conservative State Com
mittee of Virginia Will not take the initiative
steps towards the organization Of national
party but will promptly and zealOusly CO.
operate 10 any well-devsed movement inau-
gurated at Washington for bringing into ex-
istence a National Conservative party" to
be composed Of oh Democrats, Wings, and
Republicans who desire to aid in the reostab-
Hshment of constitutional government and the
suppression Of official venality and imbeciity.

Death of Major General Halleck.

The telegraph reports the death of Major
General Henry W. Halleck, Of Louisville, KY,
last Tuesday General Halleck was gradu-
ate of West Point. and had attained the rank
of captain in the army when he was sent to
the pacific coast at the time Of the Mexican
war. When California was annexed Captain
Haleck resigned and remained in civil life I'M
til the outbreak of the late civil war. lie had
been the author of one or more military trea-
ties, and commanded the confidence of the
administration. At one time he was assigned
to the position of general-in-chief Of the
Federal armies, with headquarters at Washing
ton. General Halleck's favorable reputation
will rest upon his contributions to military lit
erature. General Halleck was Of the same
New York family as Fitz Green Halleck, the
poet. He leaves widow and one son.

The Fisk Murder.

Col. James Fisk, Jr., the " Prince of Erie,
was brutality assassinated by E. 9. Stokes, at
the Grand Central Hotel, in New York City,
on Saturday afternoon last. Stokes was
promptly arrested and committed to Jail.
The Baltimore Gazette says;
"The assault appears to have been most
cowardly, and creates sympathy for the fate OF
one whose notoriety was otherwise of an unen-
yiable character. Fisk was peculiarly an
American production, sharp, reckless, unscru-
pulous and prodigal. Beginning his career as
Yankee peddler, he passed through all the
ups and downs of life with wonderful buoy
ancy of spirit and exhibited as little anxiety
as to his business affairs when handling mil
lions as when he first drove his cart-load OF
notions over the hills of Vermont. His vulgar
love of ostentation and of notoriety displayed
itself, however, in good way. Many
persons were benefited by his kindnesses, al
though his course in business was utterly I'M
scrupulous. 1t is alleged that rage and jeal-
ousy prompted Stokes to the commission of this
crime. He is said to be thoroughly infatuated
with Mrs. Mansfield Lawlor, and to have been
greatly enraged at the result of the suits which
she and himself had brought against Fisk
These had broken down, and it is reported that
the Grand Jury had found an indictment a
gainst himself and his confederate for conspi-
Tacy to extort money.
A Washington City contemporary says;
"Mrs. Mansfield Lawlor, the beautiful wo-
man, ex-mistress of the Prince of Erie, who,
woman-like, appears TO be at the bottom of
this tragedy, seems by the record to be Cleo
patra-like adventures, woman heartless yet
sensuous, fond of herself, Of money, houses,
gold, and diamonds; a butterfly, who was al
ways gorgeously arrayed, yet who neither toll
ed nor spun. She must have been woman
of powerful personal attractions, who drew
other women's husbands to herself and made
them her slaves. She is well remembered here,
where she has spent much time in past years,
her last stay having been, we believe, at the
National Hotel, while her then husband, Law
Tor. was fulfilling an engagement at the Ma
tional Theatre. She is described, by those who
then knew her as a handsome brunette, with
black ewes and raven hair, rather short. with
a splendid form and graceful carriage. She
is said to have been modest in appearance and
to have lived very quietly, generally occupy
ing a seat in the orchestra at theatre when her
husband was on the stage.

The Court engaged in the Wharton trial adj
iourned on Saturday morning last until Mon
day morning, on account Of the death of the
wife of Mr. Stephen L. Beard, one of the ju-
rors. Mrs. Beard, who resided in the second

lis about o'clock Saturday evening, accom-
panied by the SherifTs deputies and bailiifs, IN
four carriages, for Mrs. Boards residence
where they remained over night, and after at

SHERIDAN AT CHIcAGo.-The special CON-
mittee of the Illinois Legislature on the mill
tary occupation of Chicago by General Sheri-
dan, on the occasion of the great fire, have
just made their report. They show by the
evidence given before them that there never
was any necessity for Sheridan 5 interference
that the police authorities had their force III
tact and on duty, with reserve of $50 men,
the very day Sheridan ordered the regiment
which killed Mr.. Grosvenor to be enlisted
and that they strenuously protested against
the declaration Of martial law as being I'M
necessary, unlawful and humiliating," that the
regulars, on being turned loose in the streets
drank to excess, broke open liquor stores, in
terfered with the police, and in numerous cases
insulted and abused peaceable citizens-in
some cases even leveling their muskets upon
them.

Burial of Col. Fisk.

There were imposing funeral ceremonies in
Brattleboro', Vermont, whence the remains Of
Col. Fisk were taken for interment All along
the line from New York to Battleboro' i'm
mense throngs Of people gathered at the rail-
way stations and villages, and thus atiested
their admiration Of bis genius for money-mak-
ing and their regret at bis sudden taking-od.-
The murdered Colonsls virtues were eulogizsd
by the officiating minister-tbe chaplain Of
the 9th Regiment. lie was buried in Cull uni
form, with sash and sabre. Whilst these
scenes were enacted, quarters were being
fitted no in luxurious style for the occupancy
Of the assassin. So wags the world. In all
this We have another yerifcation that the
love Of money is the root Of evil
