THE TURF.
LOngfellOW after Tuesdays Race.


Done for.
NEW YORK, July ia Saratoga spe-
clal says poor Longfellow in his stable this
evening presents picture of misery.
There is complete circle cut from the
centre of his hoof extending round the cor
net ring to his heel. His middle tendon
tonight is three times its natural size. 1t
appears that he broke shoe plate on one
of his hind legs at the half mile pole when
he was tapping B2ssett and cut the fore foot
with it. No doubt exists in the minds of
experienced turfmen that he is completely
broken down and will never appear in pub
lie again. Uncle John Harper is completely
overcome and walks about with sorrowful
looks. 1t is TO be regretted that the ques-
ton of superiority has not been decided,
for Longfellow tonight is as much if not
more the hero than Bassett,

CLEVELAND, o., July 1.-THE first
days races Of the second annual meeting

This hot weather is not unfavorable for
balls. 1t seems to have bad effect on GER
tain infammable natures. At Big Rapids,
Michigan, a few nights ago there was a
dance, ard the weather had such an effect
on a man named Bronson that he got inA'
a quarrel with one Sweeney, and emptied
siy barrels of a revolver into his body. We
would recommend that persons of this sen
sitive and excitRble nature defer all indul-
gence in dancing until cooler weather.

HOW THE OFFICES ARE DIS
POSED OF.


POSED OF.
A correspondent asks the Cincinnati
Commercial for an accurate list of the rel
atives of Grant who have been appointed 10
office, and that paper replies:
"We have not a completelist of the rela-
tiyes appointed to Office By President Orant,
and a perfectly reliable one world be haru
to obtain. 1t is not the number OF his rel
atiyes in Office that marks the enormlty OF
the offense be has committed IN his system
of appointments. He has but one relative I'D
Office in this vicinity-his father;
but three-fourths of the important
Federal Offices is this and adjacent cities
and districts, were appointed directly
through the Grant family influence, or the
personal fayoritism of the President him
self. There was not a member OF the
Grant family, male or female, who did not
have anpointments made according TO their
Measure ,Jand there was not oneof the family
who ever seemed TO think there was any
thing strange or peculiar about their ln-
terfaTence with appointments and meddlIng
with the public business. The President
himself. when pressed by all
the influential Republicans in the Coving-
ton district to re-appoint Col. Rankin AS
sessor CRankin had been removed for refus-
ing to Johnsonize) ended the matter per-
factlv TO his own satisfaction, by saying 10
the Committee waiting upon him, that he
had promised his sister to appoint Mr.;
Linn! Father Grant looked after the mail
agencies in Kentucky aud the postotices in
Ohio pretty extensively. In Western Penn
sylvania the President had relative, and tne
appointments there were regulated accord
inGly. There are about twenty-five relatives
of the President in the enjoyment OF official
fatness, which they owe TO his position and
their ability to make out, as Father Grant
told Cal. Thomas, "a PLAIN case OF second
cousin or something equally commanding
The ofice-holders who owe their position
70 family connection and favoritism are
quite numerous. They may be numbered
by hundreds. 1t is their happiness to kno"
members of the family intimately, and they
have thrived upon their friendship"

Correspondence Of the Cincinnati Enquirer
NEW YORK, July Is, 1872.-The SUMS
Washington correspondent telling how
Union secrets were made known to the
Cohfederates, says: "When the rebellion
was in its early stage, no less person than
General Thomas Jordan, of Cuban noto-
,iety, but then Rebel officer, made an ar
ranpement with the notorious Mrs. Green
shaw, who was afterward arrested, where
by she was to forward TO the headquarters
Of thu Southern Army such facts IS wonld
be important for them tc know. Mrs. O..
proceeded TO become intimate with the
Hon. Henry Wilson, then Chairman Of the
Military Committee. This she confessedly
accomplished, and the honorable Henry
was so thoroughly manipulated that every
usan and projected movement known to
him was kno wn by her. The design of the
advance Of the troops to the battle OF Bull
Run was got by her from him before the
fact, and forwarded TO the Rebel head
quarters through the agency Of Tom Hue
lett, the brother Of Mrs. Mason, the lady
who was witness in the French Army in
yes igatiOn in April last"

THE men who bailed JEFF Davis are in
high favor with the Democratic party, says
our loyal Boston Journal. One Of them
.oes upon the ticket as a candidate for the
Ii.hest cfliCe, and another displaces MIR.

miree. The Journal evidently thinks that
these are very reasonable and dangerous
goincs on. But how about another gentle
man whose autograph is understood TO
adorn that historic instrument. We seem
to remember hearing something about Mr..
Gerritt Smith in connection with the Grant
State Convention of New York, and the
delegation from that body to Philadelphia.

THE Cincinnati Commercial says with
much force; eThere is not an intelligent,
or even semi-intelligent Democrat in the
land who does not know that Horace Gree
lev was the bitter but consistent enemT of
his party for thirty years-not one that
does not know, too, tn { he employed the
tersest and most vigorous English in COM
mending it to the derision of the people.
Inasmuch, then, IS the Democrats,
notwithstanding these facts, have
resolved to support Greeley for
President, is it not rather a waste of time
and space for Radical newspapers to hll
their columns with choice extracts from
Mr.. Greeley's writings denunciatory Of the
Democratic party? Having resolved to
support him for the Presidency, The Demo
Gratis are not likely to turn upon him be-
cause of his ability as an editor to express
himself vigorously. Moreover, it is a con-
soling fact that Mr.. Greeley got as much as
he gave in hard words"

FIRE AT LUDLow-Loss OF LIFE
The house owned by Mrs Melina Petit.
grew and occupied by ii. M. Pettigrew
at Ludlow, was discovered to be on fire
at 81 o'clock on Thursday afternoon OF
last week, and totally destroyed. 1t
appears that the family were absent at

by Mr.. Mccoy, and the saddest thing is
that daughter of Mr.. Pettigrew, be.
tween is and Is years of age, of weak
Intellect, was alone in the house, and,
when found, was badly burned, her
clothing, to her waist, being literally
burned of, and her limbs and body
burned in shocking manner. Mr. Me
Coy, on discovering the fire, effected an
entrance to the house, and Immediately
thereafter, Mr.. L. ]. Whitcomb arrived
and found the girl standing by the sink,
with her hands in the water. He wrap
ped a garment about her body and car.
ried her to the residence of DIR. p. Bur-
ton, when three physicians were immedi.
ately engaged in dressing her wounds
and affording relief to her intense an.
guish, but she died the next morning.
Joel Warner was considerably injured
at the fire by the falling of chimney.
The fire seems to have started in the
chamber. There have been several sad
and fatal cases of late in different parts
of New England, occurring by leaving
children aud persons of weak mind
alone in dwellings.

got bewildered and arose, and without
dressing himself or putting on any shoes,
proceeded to his grandmother's house,
about twenty rods distant, aroused them
from their slumbers, stating that there
was great trouble at his house. The
night was intensely cold, and the WON
