HOW GRANT HAS BEEN HURT.

The New York correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Enquirer says, Feb. II:
"Before his departure for Washington
Senator Casserly said that the minority Of
the Customhouse Investigating Committee
would urge upon Congress a radical reform
in the rotten custom revenue service here.
He added that people should soon have an
opportunity TO determine what interests the
Chief Magistrate has personally had in the
eXtortions which have oppressed New y ork
commerce.
There is no question that the customLouse
investigation has produced profound SEN
sation everywhere. The shameless cor
ruption brought TO light by this investigation
is telling fearfully against Grant in New
England. The Springfield Republican, a
leading organ Of theparty in Massachusetts,
says in its issue of Feb. ::
"Senator Wilson has gone back to Wash
ingtoD, after two or three DAYS in New Eng
land and New \ ork, in a very alarming
state of mind as to Gen. Grants prospects
of reelection. They tell us from Washing
ton that he SAYS he cannot take the stump
in the New Hampshire election unless the
President first cleans out the New York
Custom-house. Even FOrney has got fright
ened, and takes very gloomy views of the
political situation. There are no better
political baron eters than Henry Wilson and
John w. Forney. They scent danger from
afar, and know well when TO hide from the
coming Storm"
1t is remarkable that since that paragraph
was written, Col. Forney has resigned the
L, flee Grant gave him few months ago
e'Rats leave a sinking ship"

Washington special kilograms indicate
that there is still hope for the passage of an
amnesty bill. The correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial says under date of
the 18th inst:
1t seems, to-day, from conversations with
leading Senators, that there is still a posi-
bility that the Senate will take up the am
nesty bill, substantially as it came from the
House, during the coming week, and its
passage seems to be regarded as only ques-
ton Of time. This opinion is strengthened
by the fact that several of those who voted
for The amendment of Mr.. Sumner to the
civil rights bill, now declare their purpose
to vote against it, if it is again attempted to
be put upOn the bill, and there can no long
er be any doubt that it cannot receive tn 3
necessary two-thirds vote, which is required
for Its passage. Many who would prefer to
vote for it, and who are strongly in favor of
an amnesty bill, will thus be compelled to
throw civil rights overheard for the present.
A dispatch to the Times and Chronicle,
of the 18th, says:
Prominent Senators this morning con-
slider the prospects Of amnesty better than
at any time this session. There are two
House amnesty bills now Oh the Senate
table. Mr.. Trumbull will Immediately take
charge Of the most liberal Of these, and
press it TO a vote. Since Mr.. Sumner de-
ciared bis intention to connect his civil
rights with every amnesty bill rs an amend
m5nt, several Senators who voted for the
civil rights on Friday assert that, while
willing to vote for both amnesty and civil
rights as Independent measures, they are
unwilling further to hazard amnesty by an
UnEenerOus civil rights amendment. They
insist that civil rights, independently, canal
any time secure a majority, but that it can
not obtain the twO-thirds vote requisite for
amnesty.

Ex-congressman Rollins, Chairman of
the New Hampshire Republican Commit
tee, has addressed circular to all the Grant
Postmasters and Federal officials, areqaest,
which amounts to an order, that they must
contribute the needful, If they hope to car
ry New Hampshire. Here it is:
"They (the Committee) have designated
for your contribution the sum of s.,
which please forward in the accompanying
envelope, TO Hon. Asa Fowler, Concord, n .
r., for which a receipt will be returned.
"The necessity Is apparent: immediate
action is Imperative; our success is duty;
and we doubt not that all who receive this
circular viii promptly and cheerfully %
respond
"Please return this note"
And this is what the Grant wing of the
party call civil service reform. The New
York Express says the Customhouse in that
city is also expected to contribute. 1t was
just at this spot Mr.. Grinnell, the New
York Collector who appointed Grants man
Leet, on orders from the President, where
he could plumber the merchants of New
York I'D Itbitoan, stated publicly that he
sent into Connecticut, last March, a Cor
ruption Fund of $4,000 from the Custom
house, to elect Jewell, now up for re-elec-
ton. The Boston Customhouse will be
added to those of New York and Philadel-
phia this year, to save, if possible, the par
ty of Grant and Corruption in New Hamp-
shire.

THE developments Of Il last few weeks
of corruption in the civil service ofthe Gov
eminent, have produced a wonderful rCv)-
luton in public sentiment on the PreSiden-
tial question, and he must be blind who
does not recognize this fact in the move
ments of men who have heretofore been
Grants friends. The Chicago Tribune, the
leading Republican organ in the Northwest,
contend that one of the straws which
marks the turn Of the tide nOw,is the num-
Der of ca ididates brought up in all sections
of the country, where little while ago
Grant had the field to himself. 1t notes
furthermore that the politicians, who three
months ago counted certainly on Grant car
rying all the States, are now querying
about certain Northern and Southern
States, whose detection if admitted, at once
rules the General out Of the chance of
election.

ofMr. Colfax's last letter to poke little fun
atthat great and good man. The Democrat
says IN its issue Of Feb. Is:
"That most retiresome of our public men,
the Hon. Schuy Ter ColfaX, having written
letter to the Indianapolis journal declining
the Presidential candidacy, we trust the
good editors Of the country will let him
alone. If they persist in dragging him I'M
willingly forth again, We shall ask for an
amendment to Summers supplementary

shall be disturbed in his Determination to
seek the shades Of private life, and that af-
Ter a man has said for the forty-first time
that he is not a candidate il shall be a high
crime and misdemeanOr to make him one.

WHO KILLED AMNEsTY2

On this point the New York Tribune
says in its issue of Feb. 10:
"There will be no very general feeling of
surprise at the action of the Senate in re-
jecting the amnesty bill. The course of
the juuta Of men who are proud of being
considered administration whippers-in has
all along indicated what would be the fate
of this wise and statesmanlike measure, so
far above the comprehension Of the average
politician. Those who dishked amnesty
pretended TO favor Senator Summers I'M
fortunate supplementary civil rights bill,
bHt only long enough to load down the ORR
ginal measure with what was an unpopular
and, possibly, unconstitutional proposition.
This done, they disingenuously killed am
nesty because it was saddled with civil
rights. This trick will deceive nobody; it
is diaphanous. Butwe hope that there will
be a Congress of the United States wise
enOughRnd broad enough to give us univer-
sal amnesty, though the prospect is not
now brilliant for the wisdom"

And being the only Registering Gauge
now Manufactured

and offered to the public, filling the require
ments Of said rules and regulations, we, the I'M
dersigned, respectfully call your attention to the
fact that we are the sole owners Of the right to
manufacture and YGnd said Gauges, and are now
ready to fill orders therefor in any required num-
be OF superior Workmanship, and to have been
tested by Standard Mercury Column before
leaving the factory.
This Gauge is specially adapted for application
to all boilers in use for land pun poses, it being
the first invention in the history of the world
brought out at any time for the purpose of regis
tering steam; thus giving to all parties who are
using steam for land purposes, not only protec-
ton TO life, but absolute protection to property;
affording positive knowledge as te whether their
boiler, under excessive pressure, has at any time
been strained, which no steam gauge now in use
except this has been able to give. Parties who
are using steam can readily appreciate its i'm
pOrtance, and we cordially invite all such to cali
upon our Agent, who will be happy to show them
the Register and its operation under pressure.
In proOfSf their merit we insert the following
testimony:
WASHINGTON, D. c., March %, 1s71.-Rear
Admiral John A. Dahlgren, q. S. N, Command
ant-Sir: In obedience to your instructions of the
18th inst, 1 have examined and tested the Regis
tering Steam Gauges invented by Mr. e. CLARK
and respectfully report that it is exceedingly
simple in its construction, certain in its action
reliable in its indications, and liable to little or
no arrangement. l think the device complete
for the purpose intended to be Accomplished

THE ABBOTT CAsE.

The Senate Committee on Privileges and
Elections met on Saturday, and discussed
at some length the case Of Mr.. Abbott, of
North Carolina, who claims seat in the
Senate in place of Gov. Vance, but no acs
ton was taken. The committee adjourned
to meet on next Saturday, when Gen. Ran
som, who has recently been elected Senator
from that State, viii be heard. The Wash
ington correspondent of the Louisville
Ledger says: "Abbott has so disguised
Republican Senators by his tactics while
here of working in his own interests that it
is probable that Ransom will meet with
favorable consideration from majority of
the committee, although Morton, the
Chairman, is one of Abbott's most jealous
friends" The Washington correspondent
of the Cincinnati Gazette (Radica) say,
under date q Feb. u:
DIN the Abbott case the Senate commit
tee have some new light in the shape of as
surances that those who voted for Vance
did so on a promise from Senator Pool that
his disabilities should be removed before
the time for the election"
Abbott has sent his case to the New Y ork
Tribune and asks that paper to consider its
legal aspects. The Tribune responds:
ave know right well that Vance was
elected Senator and that Abbott was not;
as for any legal aspects that are alleged as
reversing this choice, they are TO our mind
simply detestable. The Senate has com
mitted a blunder that has the effect of a
crime, i'll forcing Gov. Vance to resign the
seat; it may proceed if it will to duplicate
that error by seating Abbott; but fifty Sem
ates could not make this other than the
outrage which all who do not profit by it
must know it to be-"

THE New York Express calls attention
to the fact that when Martin Van Buren,
was President there was an extraordinary
agitation and threats Of impeachment over
the report that somebody in Europe pro-
posed to make him present. Had the
present been made, he would have been
impeached. Since that day We have had
several years of Republican rule, and now
the President receives presents of horses,
farms, bonds and pups, and any person who
suggests there is anything wrong is called
disloyal. What a changed

In New York, Philadelphia, Washington,
and elsewhere, the Connecticut Democratic
nominations and platform have created a
profoundly favorable impression. The
New York Tribune says
''The action and resolutions Of the Con-
necticut Democratic Convention have
aroused the attention of the press Of both
parties throughout the country, and there
is but one verdict, that Of cordial approval
Cfthe enlightened and liberal policy marked
out for the Democracy"
The Springfield (Mass) Republican, a
Radical organ, says:
"The movement of the Connecticut De
Iaocracy is, indeed, startling and inspiring
tne. It is a warning that the Republican
llarty cannot disregard without fatal con-
tequences; it is the bold beginning of a po-
ltical revolution that viii either drive the
Republican party from the denomination Of
Grant, or defeat him in the Presidential
election"
