peror, too, no doubt, was pleased enough
to escape the awkwardDess of an interview
with a distinguished foreign officer who
only speaks English, which the Emperor
says he himself speaks so badly that "not
even an American can understand him." the
implication being that the Americans speak
English SO badly that they ought to un-
derstand bad English, if any one does.
Frederick Grant separated from Sher-
man and Audenried at st. Petersburg,
and went to call upon bis uncle Cramer,
the light of modern diplomacy, at Copen-
hagen. He arrived here only a day
before Sherman left. he dined at Ban
croft's with Sherman, but / think am
able to say that he received no attention
whatever from any German. l presume
he has signifed to Mr.. Bancroft that he
did not wish any, and that be made no calls.
l am very glad of this, for Grant, though
an amiable fellow, is not such specimen OF
arepublIcan prince as his countrymen feel
particular pleasure in exhibiting at such a
coult as this, where people of bis rank are
educated and accomplished to the very
limit of their capacity.

WHY NOE IOLLYP

The-$ew York Tribune makes the fol-
lowing very pointed inquiry: "The Reno
minationists, ever since they discovered
their inability to prevent the Endorsement
of Cincinnati by Baltimore, have pro-
fessed their intense delight in that resul
They assure the public that it is exactly
what tLey wanted-that Grant will receive
many more Democratic than Greeley will
Republican votes-that everything goes as
they would have it-that Greeley has no
chance of election, etc, etc. Then why
are they evidently out of humor? Why do
they rail and rave and exhibit spleen and
bad temper? In short, why are they sigh
ing when all Others are smiling? Why
don't they laugh as they did on hearing OF
the Cincinnati nomination.

SETTLES SALARY.

MANY, very many years ago-in the time
of diplomatic outfits and salaries-it was
said that an eminent individual, nominated
as Minister to China, pocketed his outfit,
spent it to pay off his private debts, gave
ND the mission, and never returned what
he had received. This was one OF the
cases of abuse which led TO the abolition
of the outfit system. Now, the salary be-
gins from the date of the commission,
which is sometimes anticipated for the con-
yenience of the nominee, but in no
Instance have we heard-before the
present administration-of Minister re-
tanning any part of his pay, unless he re-
paired to bis post and performed portion
of his duty. Not so nowadays. A cor
respondent of the New York Tribune states
that in March, 1871, one Thomas Settle, Of
North Carolina-the same who presided at
the Grant Convention at Philadelphia-be-
ing appointed Minister to Peru, drew his
whole years salary at Washington-$1O, ,OOO
in eoId-that he never lefs the United States.
but in March, 1872, resigned his place, and
never to this day has returned one cent ol
the money. And it is such man who, IN
compliment to the gentlemen and honest
men of the South, was selected to preside
over tie Grant Convention l-BaIttRor'
Gazette.

An exchange says that one of the men
who hope TO carry North Carolina for Grant
is Gen. L. G. Estes, a carpet-bagger, ex-
Collector of Internal Revenue for the Third
District in that State. BE was defaulter
TO the amount of $4,000. Some authori-
ties put the sum at S6l 200. Another Of
the men who hope to carry North tarolina
for Grant is Gen. j. G. Abbott, the New
Hampshire carpet-bagger, who tried to get
a seat in the United States Senate, and
ignominiously failed. He was one OF the
sureties of Estes, and is said to have Sc
cretly compromised the whole defalcation
with Secretary Boutwell, by paying only
$4,000. From the report Of the Fraud
Investigating Committee Of the North
Carolina Legislature, it appears that these
two gallant Generals, Estes and Abbott,
had a $4,000 share in the stealings Of
another gallant General, Iittleheld. 1t is
needless to say that all these heroes are in
favor of suppressing the Rebellion for
another four wears.

Points i'm Law.
SARATOGA, July 19-In the Court Of
Impeachment to-day, MIR. Beach, the coun-
sci for Barnard, denied the statement that
one of his counsel had advised Barnard to
resign. He then read plea denying that
the articles of impeachment were adopted
by the Assembly. johnson, clerk of the
Assembly, was sworn and said that If ar
ticles of Impeachment were adopted, he
should have had copy. He never had
copy. After further testimony and algu-
ment by both sides, the court went INTO
private consultation and denied the plea OF
the defense. Recess.
On reassembliDg of the court at P. NJ,
Mr.. Beach submitted plea that the court
ought not, and he doubted if it could, take
coSniZance of charges of acts alleged to have
been committed prior to Barnard's last
election. The election was an approval by
the people of those acts.
Mr.. Vancott controverted the position OF
Mr.. Beach, and said the power OF election
was subject to other powers. 1t would be
a disgrace to let the respondent off on such
plea. Adjourned.
The Bar Association designated Albert
Stickney to act in conjuction with the man
ayers of the impeachment.

present State ticket Just so long as por-
ticn of 1t was composed of men obnoxious
to the honest Republicans. A proposition to
change the candidate for Auditor-G General
was not regarded as sufficient remedy;
and finally it became evident that no
compromise could be made. The Presi-
dent and some of bis advisors, however,
were strong in their belief that even if
through local troubles in the Republican
party Pennsylvania should go Democratic
in October, the disafected element would
unite for Grant and Wilson and win the
State back in November. The President
returned to Long Branch, from whence be
came, most privately; and Col. Forney came
to Washington on private business. The
latter declines to converse on the confer
ence, but has, nevertheless, explicitly ex-
pressed himself in the conclusion of the ed
itorial in yesterdays Press, paragraph of
which was telegraphed last night, that he is
not to be swerved from his purpose by the
mistaken friends of Grant. The idea Of
the President that Pennsylvania will in No
yember reverse her verdict of October is
looked on by the old politicians here of both
parties as most amusing, to say the least.
The Campaign I'm Carolina
w. U. Saunders, the colored Maryland
ex-Grant elector, writes from North Caro-
lima 10 Senator Sumner that, from all he
can gather, that State will be carried by
the Conservatives in the election two weeks
from to-day by large majority. He adds
that since his arrival In North Carolina he
has been treated just as well as any white
man, and received all the privileges that
Mr.. Summers civil rights bill proposed to
guarantee. Saunders says he is succeeding
in s'distilling" the colored vote.
Schurz In the Field.
Political advices at hand to-day state that
Senator Schurz is about to open the cam
paign in st. Louis and will follow in the
line of Senator Sumner in exposing and
commenting on Grants record. He pro-
poses to prove that in the Franco-German
war Grant took the side of France and
is therefore entitled TO no German support
in this country. He will further
charge that the President entered into a
compact with some of his friends to sell
arms to France. -.S
The Liberal Causes I'm New York.
1t is telegraphed here that Senator Fen

who has joined the Liberal Republican

things, warmly assailed the financial poll.

DEFENCE OF PRETTY WOMEN.

From the SaUurQay heFleM
Afler all, is the world so ivery absurd in
its love of pretty woman? Is woman sotvery
ridiculous in her chase after beauty? A
pretty woman is doing woman's work I'm
the world, but not making speeches, nor
making puddings, but making life SUMMER
and more beautiful. Man has forswoTn
the pursuit ,of beauty altogether. Does
he seek it for himsei, he is guessed to be
frivolous, he is guessed to be poetic, there
are whispers that his morals are no better
than they should be In society Iesolute to
be ugly, there is no post for an Adonls,
but that OF a model or guardsmen. But
woman does for mankind what man has
ceased TO do. Her aim from childhood
is ia he beautiful. Even as a schoolgirl
she notes the progress Of her charms, the
deepening color OF her hair, the growing
symmetry of her arm, the ripening contour
of her cheek. We watch, with silent
interest, the mysterious reveries OF the
maiden; she is dreaming of a coming beauty
and painting for the glories Of eighteen.
Insensibly, she becomes an artist, her
room is a studio, her glass an academy.
The Joy of her toilet is the joy OF Raphael
over his canvas, of Michael Angelo over
his marble She is creating beauty in the
silence and the loneliness of her chamber;
she grows like any art creation, the result
Of patti ence, of hope, of thousand delicate
touchings and retouchings. Woman is never
perfeci; never complete. A restless night
undoes the beauty of the day; sunshine
blurs the evanescent coloring of her cheek;
frost nips the tender outlines Of her face
into sudden harshness. Care plows its
lines across her brow; motherhood de-
stroys the elastic hghtness OF her form;
the bloom Of her cheek, the quick flash o.
her eye, fade and vanish as the years go by
But woman is still true to her ideal. She
won't know when she is beaten, and she
manages to steal fresh victories even IL
ter defeat. She invents new conception!
of womanly grace; she rallies at forty, ant
fronts us with the beauty of womanhood
she makes last stand at sixty, with to-
beauty of age. She falls like Caesar
wrapping her mantle round her-"burie
in woolen! 'twould a saint provoked" Deatl
listens pitifully TO the longings Of life
time, and the wrinkled face smiles will
something of the prettiness of eighteen

and if England persists in her present course,
she does SO at her own peril.
