The revenue cutter Wilderness has been

tives to-day, a number OF Ilted States

| sentatives, four Senators. and the Governor
| and Lieutenant Governor. The effect of
| this was to break the Republican majority
in the House of Representatives.
The object of this war upon Republican
| Governor and Legislature by the Presidents
office holders was for the purpose, as be-
lieve, of controlling the politics of the State

that the Tribune doubts his ability to carry

from the daily observation of the people,
all the result of the utter disregard of the

In order to prove the position l assume
must summon one of the most IMPARTIAL
witness of the country, the atlantic Ho''hty
OF January, 1872, in one of its searching ar

many things, also makes the following
damaging admission:
''As rule military men are not the stun

There has not as yet been given correct
account of the applications made to the
President for troops to preserve order dur
ing the recent troubles in New Orleans.
Shortly after the first application had been
received, Senator kellogg and the members
of the House from Louisiana having once
met at the White House, some Intentionally
and others by accident, and consulted with
the President on Louisiana matters, when
Senator West was not present. Senator
West, not wishing to impose like discOur-
tesy upon them, sent for them u call at
his residence. They responded to the call,
when he charged them with discourtesy
toward him in failing to notify him Of the
fact of their comforting as delegation, and
not giving him an opportunity to express
his views with theirs on SO important
question. They all admitted the discour-
tesy, and he then stated that it was his in
tention to visit the President with reference
to the same subject, and, although he did
not invite them to attend him, gave notice
that they could d2so if they saw fit to en-
brace the opportunity. He was allowed to

Sporting at BydeviiIe.

The long talked of trial Of speed be-
tween the Carlcy Horse Of Poultney and
the Wescott Horse of Fairhaven was to
have come off on the ice, at Hydeyille,
to-day Saturday at two o'clock pm.
The day opened finely, the sun shining
brightly with a mild atmosphere. At
about ten o'clock in the morning the
people began to arrive from various
parts of the county, and at two p. N.
there had arrived on the ice a crowd
variously estimated at from two tothree
thousand people. Turn-Outs of all de-
scriptions. from the most costly to the
least pretentious. Many gentlemen with
their families The ladies seemed quite
as anxious as the gentlemen to witness
the sport We noticed people from
nearly every town in the county, and
quite a number from the State of New
York.
For the past three OF four days a vast
amount Of labor has been expended to
prepare good tracks on the ice, but, not
outstanding the untiring efforts, it was
impossible to prepare tracks that were
safe. The first ice that made on the
lake was about Is inches thick, this ice
had rotted or water had risen upon it to
the depth of from three to six inches,
and shell ice formed on top to the
thickness of about one inch and the
whole covered by a heavy fall Of snow,
so that the extreme cold Of the past few
days did not reach the ice, and when an
effort was made to scrape the ice it was
found that the shell ice would not hold
up a horse and that it was impossible to
make good OF safe tracks, Both horses
We're promptly on the ice but no test Of
speed was raadc, much 10 the disappoint-
ment of all. The horses were in fine
condition, and had the ice been in good
condition we should have been able,
perhaps, to have reported the time down
among the 2.30's.
All passed off pleasantly, no row, no
drunkenness and heard no profane Ian
guage. We trust that the trial may yet
come off. -
