The testimony of Mr.. Hiram Calkins, ex-
Clerk of the Senate, yesterday, before the
Postage Stamp Investigation Committee,
showed that the business of selling stamps, of
using them as currency, came in with Crsh-
man and Terwiliger. The beginning of the
terms OF these two men was the signal for
tht mischief to commence.

The report that the water at the Croton Dam
IS running unusually low, and that fears are
entertained of an insufficient supply in this
rily next Summer, should prevent any inter
ference with the law authorizing the Commits
sioner of Public Works to draw upon the lakes
md ponds of Putnam County in case of emer-
gency. The evils of water famine in city
ike New-iork are so serious that the most
thorough safeguards against such contingency
should be- constantly maintained.

What appears, on IFS face, to be n shameful
and wicked attempt to levy black-mai from a
reputable clergyman, is published in THE
TRIBUNE this morning. There are, undOubt-
edly, many similar cases in the community,
the sufferers in which lack the courage to make
them public. When a man does boldly con-
front IA judicial tribunal, in order to bring
these wretches to justice, he should have the
moral support of the public; such an attempt
to expose and punish a vile impostor requires
a good deal of sturdy innocence, as well as
pluck.

In the Senate, yesterday. the curious specta-
cle was presented of the Presidents policy
being defended by the so-called boiling
Senators" reinforced by Democrats
The shifty Senator from Wisconsin, who is
usually in the van of the superserviceables,
made an attack on Civil Service Reform, the
Presidents pet scheme, and was assisted therein
by the usual phalanx of pro- Administration
men. Luckily for the Executive, there were
enough conscientious liberal Republicans to fill
the breach thus made in Reform, and the res
.oIutiOn of Mr.. Carpenter was defeated. This
only shows that Messrs. Conkling, Carpenter
g. Co. do not believe the President is in earnest
in his advocacy of Civil Service Reform. These
constant attacks prove their unwilingness TO
give the President the powers which he asks.

VVearher-wIse Animals.

An interchangeable meteoroIogist has
gathered some curious observations on
certain animals who. by some peculiar
sensibility to electrical or other atmos-
pberic influence, often indicate changes
of the weather by their peculiar notions
and habits. Thus:
ANTs-Au universal hustle and &C
tivity observed in aut hills may be gen
orally regarded as Sign of rain; ants

Grant aud the Union Generals.

The Grant party proposes to hight ouT
war over again. Its orators and editors
declare that the bullet has only given
way to the ballot They appeal to the
passions and prejudices eugeudered by
the late unhappy civil strife and to the
autagonism OF races for success, aud con
tend that the same people and the same
party are now supporting Graut that
crushed the Confederacy. 1t is cot like
/ ly the people can be imposed on by such
stuff Not only were Greeley and Brown
consistent and Jealous Union men, but
their Liberal supporters we're without
exception of the same way OF thinking
aud acting. The fact that Grant was a
Union General can not be considered as
making his the Union party, especially
when We fnd arrayef against him so
many of the old Union Generals. Among
those who have declared themselves Tor
