C. A. Mack, clerk of the steamer In
dia, furnishes n late Detroit paper the
following account of a remarkable phe-
nomenon which WAS observed on Lake
Erie: On Sunday morning, about 9H
o'clock, while about ninety miles from
Erie, and nearly abreast of Cleveland, on
our course to Detroit, we saw an immense
water-spout, which at first looked like
the heavy black smoke of steam-r 1t
gradually took the shnpe of co umn,
aud arose to the clouds. seemingly draw
lug up and discharging an immense
quantity of water. Soon after this spout
arose, others came in sight, in the
same direction, and six were visible at
the same time, all apparently within two
or three miles of each other. They
changed locality great deal, and two of
them passed each other. While these
spouts were in operation, they appeared
like long black clouds or columns, dis
charging immense quantiti S of smoke,
which appeared to be caused by the fall
ing water. Vivid lightning could be seen
beyond these spouts, and by the aid of a
glass it could be plainly seen that the
lake in the vicinity was greatly agitated
The India was about six miles distan,
from these spouts, and perhaps little
more. They lasted over half an hour.

While the older mines are yielding at

These deposits are now being examined
by competent expert on behalf Of some

Nrw YORK SOCIETY. Jennie June in
tba Sas Francisco Chronicle thus dis
conrseth of social matters in the good
city of Got ham:
Society is becoming very costly lux
ury in New York city, and only those can
participate in it to any extent upon
whom fortune has rained down golden
shower. Parties are obsolete, but
A grand Reception" involves a cost OF
about 81 900, exclusive of dress and with
all the appurtanences of wealth at COM
mand. You may have staff of six or
eight servants of your own. but they
have nothing to do upon an occasion of
this kind, except put the house in order.
About 3 p. m, the fashionable restau-
rateur takes possession of it, carpets the
steps and sidewalk, over which he
spreads an awning, and sets half dozen
to dozen colored walters (who through
the summer figured at Saratoga
or Long Branch) to work at the
table and the door-bell. China, silver
and napkins, if need be, are furnished
with the quail, the oysters, the boned
turkey, the sandwiches, the chicken
salid, the epergnes of fruit ano
flowers, the Charlotte Russe, the jelly
the maccaroons and the ice cream. The
wine may not be supplied from the above
source, but in addition there are always
side-tables with tea and coffee lemonade
cake and claret punch. In this respec
the reception does not differ from tn,
party proper, but it is widely different il
the manner in which it is constructed
There is none of the old-fashioned stiff
ness and formality of the party; peopl
come and go, walk about and chat, occa
sionally listen to music, and sometime
to a song from some society prima dona
but the staple of the entertainment i
conversation, varid by glimpse of
stray lion or artistic star.

The land-grabbers are hard
at work in Washington, end
eavoring to gobble up what is
left Of the public lands fit for
settlement. The Senate, a
few days ago, passed the grant
to the st. Croix and bayfield,
road, over which Proctor
Knott made the country laugh
in derision a year ago. 1t is
now working its way through
the House, backed by a power
ful ring representing the
combined interests Of the land
grabbers. General Boynton,
correspondent of Cincinnati
Gazette, says, in late letter
that the land-grabbing bills
introduced in Congress up to
the middle of February will
cover two hundred and tweuty
five millions of acres, or 35l,
900 square miles. He then
adds these significant figures
by way Of comparison; "Ohio
has 39,S04 square miles or sec
tions, Indiana 33,S09, Michi-
gan 56,234, Illinois 55,405,
Iowa 50,814, Wisconsin 3d.
924, Kentucky 81, 600. Total
or $4,000 square miles less than
the area granted by the bills
which were pending two weeks
ago"

The Ohio river rises in wes-
tern New York, and joins the
Mississippi at Cairo, Illinois,
on the shores of Missouri
When considered the Ohio is
1900 miles in length, and passes
through, or borders on eight
States, but its great tributaries,
the Cumberland and the Ten
nessees pass, through two other
States, so, that in point of fact,
ten States are traversed by the
Ohio and its tribu taries. These
ten States contain nearly half
the population of the United
States. But deducting that
part of those States not inter-
ested directly in the naviga-
tion Of the Ohio, there yeC re-
mains eight millions of people
directly interested.

Hon. j. B. Stallo, Cincinnati !:
Ny DEAR SIR-I have \ob-
served with pleasure the Gard
Of Messrs. Cox, Matthews,
Hoadley and yourself, publish
ed in the Commercial of the Sd
inst, approving the call of Nhe
late Missouri convention, for a
ational Mass Convention of
Liberal Republicans, at Cinch-
natl, on the 1st of May next.
Being with you in sentiment
and opinion, / will endcavor to
be there with you in person.
1t seems to be foregone
conclusion that General Grant
is to be the nominee Of the Re.
publican Convention, to be
held in. Philadelphia, ID June
next. Considering thevast of.
fetal patronage pertaining to
the office of President, and the
manner in which that patron
age has been employed, this
foregone conclusion is not a
matter of wonder, although it
is to me, and | doubt not to
thousands of others, hitherto
members of the Republican
party, a matter of deep regret
and dissatisfaction. As for me,
whatever else | may have been,
| have not been; nor do | in
tend to become, the slave of
any political organization
Born, so to speak, a member
of the old Democratic party, I
continued to act with it until l
thought, and still think, it had
degenerated in to mere subser-
viency to ding interests
and aspirations. For this rea.
son, and this only, and failing
to fud any indications of re-
formation in this respect, I left
the thereby, as to my
self, abandoning every pros
pect and hope of political pre-
ferment in the future: and
thenceforward l co.operated
with the Freesoil party, until
it was merged, on the basis Of
its own principles, in the Re-
publican party, and with that
| zealously acted until after the
Inauguration Of General Grant,
and up to the developments Of
his personal and political ad-
ministration, which are. the
foundation Of my objection to
both.
Under a Republican Gov.
eminent, attention to politics,
must work through the medi-
um of parties. But parties are
made for men, not men for
parties. They are instrument
alities-not dictators. On no
other ground than this can the
existence of political parties be
justified; and the man who ad-
heres to a party when it has
ceased, in the main, to repre-,
sent, or has become antagonis
tic to his own convictions as tc
what is just and wise, aban
dons alike his freedom and his
duty, and voluntarily assumes
the position of slave.
AS to the personal admins
tration of Grant, | do not like
| his accentance prior to HIS in

Am EXTRAORDINARY snit.

An extraordinary case was
lately brolight by one Bartho-
lomew. G, CALVIN against Mr..
Boutwell,, Secretary. of the
Treasury,to recover So, 100000,
alleged damages for nonfuIfll-
ment Of contract. The plain.
tiff sets forth in his complaint,
which he seems to have drawn
up HIMSELF that he had, a GER
tain financial. scheme which he
had devised, and which lie
offered to the Secretary of the
Treasury in June, 1869. This
scheme had eighteen points; all
of which are duly set forth in
the complaint. BY its opera:
tion a stop was to be put on all
gold gambling; it was to save
to the mercantile community
sixty millions annually, to ex.
tend the national commerce to
the same amount, increase the
Customs duties twenty five
millions, save one hundred and
forty millions, by paying duties
in gold instead of currency;
and cause an annual saving to
the individual public, in the
price of their daily food, equal
to twenty-five cents on the dol
lar daily, or an annual saving
to whole population collective.
ly of $3,935, 100000 yearly, or
nearly once and a half the ma
tional debt. In addition to
these trifing items Of the
scheme, there are numerous
0thers in relation to contrac$
ton Of the currency, national
banks, gold deposits, etc. This
scheme the complainant offered
to the Secretary of the Treas.
ury, and the latter,it is alleged,
took it, and after full examina.
tiou of all its provisions, told
the complainant that he would
pay him the value of it, and
give him a place Of trust in the
Treasury Department. All tile
sales of gold, and the buying
of bonds, the reduction oftaxes,
and the raising of loans, by the
Secretary, the complainant
alleges, were the results of his
scheme; yet, Notwithstanding
this, the Secretary has refused
to pay him anything, or give
him the promised place, and,
therefore, he brings suit against
him for $2, 100000 DAMAGES
The case was brought in the
State Supreme Court, but re-
moved to the United States
Circuit Court, as the complain
ant was a resident Of this State.
1t appeared, however, that Gal.
vim is a resident of Canada,
and subject Of Great Britain,
and that he only came to New
York to prosecute this suit
On this showing, Blatchford,
yesterday, rendered decision
remauding the case back to the
State Courts, where District
Attorney Davis will answer in
behalf of Mr.. Boutwell,.
