SOME ardent admirer of Grant, who

figures and ciphered it out that Pres

$3.50 every minute since his inangura-

some one in the outskirts ofFthe aau-

the public debt?" The great orator
paused, assuming look of profound
establishment, and replied: The

The House committee on the sales
of arms whitewash Secretary Bel
knap in the most approved fashion.
They find that the act of July 20.IS62,
gave the Secretary full authority to
make his sales. though the act says
unsuitable arms then in store might
be sold; and the Secretary not only
disposed of arms which the French
found perfectly fitted for active SER
vice, but even manufactured ammuni-
ton to go with the guns. 1t is also
reported that no "sales were made to
any known agents of the belligerents )"
but while such sales may not have
been made Secretary Belknap himself
testified that after it was known that
the Remingtons were French agents
thousands of arms previously sold
were delivered. Further say the COM
mittee, mo official of the United
estates government was pecuniarily
sbenefitfed in connection with the
asaless-but where did the difference
between the gold paid by France and
the paper received at the Federal
Treasury go? Filthy, the committee
/ find THAT the only party benefited
h"was the government of the United
estates, in having disposed of unsuit-
f''able arms at the highest market price,
"to the amount of nearly ten millions
f"of dollars" This is a poor way TO
sneak out of the sales by arguing that
as the guns were unsuitable they could
not have hurt the Germans, and yet
the United states by cheating the
French are some SIG, 600 better off.

FINE S1GHTING.-In replying to the
speech of Senator Trumbull, before
the, great Liberal Republican demon
stration at Cooper Institute, Senator
Wilson, of Massachusetts,, said in the
Grant meeting: 5'l ~
"He told you it was contrary to law
for military men to discharge civil du-
ties am sorry that he told you that
for It is not fact. We did not pass
any such law. We have q law that
will not allow military men to be ap-
pointed to civil offices, but we have
no law to prevent men in the army
being detailed 10 civil duties" al
1t will require pretty fine sighting
to discover the distinction between
what Senator Trumbull asserted and
what Wilson admits the law to be. 81.

published letter giving the reasons
why he declined to be q candidate for

The GRANTEES are highly elated over
the meeting held by them at Cooper
Institute, New York, on Wednesday
evening of last week. 1t was evident
ly large gathering, but it was also an
expensive and manufactured affair,
got up by the men who. hold the Off

is estimated to have cost the office
holders OF New York $4,000 to get
up this counter demonstration to en-
deayor to break the force and ever

al meeting few evenings previous.

These are the days of ''shells," another OF
these combustibles appearing in the shape
of bill in chancery, where the plaintiff or
complainant asks the United States Circuit
Court for an injunction that, in short, shall
stop the usual procedure which appertains
to the issue of per diem warrants" Mr..
j. E. Richardson, of Little Rock, Arkansas,
asks the Court, on the ground that he is a
taxpayer in this State, to decree that the
Legislature is an unconstitutional body and
as such is without the power to appropriate
100000 for their expenses; being without
the power the warrants drawn against this
fund, Mr.. Richardson says, are unlawful
and ought to be stopped. Some tall pray
ing is done at the end Of the bill, and the
Warrant Clerk, the Speaker, the Lieuten-
ant Governor and l.. j. Souer are all to be
forbidden from signing the warrants. No
action has been the result of this new move;
no Injunction as yet. The Warrant Clerk
can sign, the Speaker and other parties can
cOuntersigH, if they choose. without any
legislative prohibition. As this application
became known on the streets there was a
natural QlSlncuuaUlOn u udHulo warrants,
and, whether so designed or not all the
brokers looked upon the application for
Injunction as a "bear,' and OF the biggest
sze-a bear which betrayed itself by the
eagerness with which the attorney of the
complainant notified Mr.. Brewster that che
would be served with such and such petit
ton" So the warrants were not much
affected after all. They ruled at the same
rates as on the previous day, and were in
good demand.
Sales of cotton are letting down. The
oracle is again dumb, answering not to any

timated the sales yesterday will not reach
2000 bales.
City certificates are in the same predica-
ment, and are no higher or lower.
Levee stock is the subject of considera-

ordinary at 50.
There were no sales at the Board of
