What a NeighbOr Thinks.

In long article in the presidential Con-
test" the Toronto Globe, one of the ablest
and most conservative of Dominion Journals
says:
1t may be pretended that the contest is for
Reform and the full and satisfactory pacifica-
ton of the country by the accordance of alb
solute and universal amnesty; but in reality
all feel that it is substantially the old struggle
under new form. The shareholders staked
their all on the decision of the sword, and
lost. They now seek to regain by the ballot
box what they lost in the four years. war;
No doubt advantage is taken of the dissatis-
faction of some Republicans, and the inor-
dnate vanity and ambition of one man, to
give the contest somewhat different aspect,
ana make it appear as an effort to purify the
administration of public affairs, and remove
tne last root of bitterness springing out of
the great conflict. But it won't do. Abuses
tnere may have been in the administration
OF the last four years, and in some resnects
reform may be very much needed hrt ali
the talk about this is the mere hy-ni sS a." of
the struggle, and Horace Greeley i. hit III -,
catspaw of those who are stil hei;o, LIZ
in the revival of the lost cause. The n,a+'
form adopted by the so-called Reformers
shows this. They insist upon universal am.
ne,ty. Now what is the meaning of this
amnesty has already been granted to the
Confederdtes to an ertent neoer knoacn after
such prorocation and such an overthrop.
The magnanimity and generous placability of
the conquerers in this case are very noticea-

Grant at Richmond.

In taking the chair at Republican meet
ing at Croton, New York DR.. P. G. Van
Wyck related the following interesting Incl
dent:
Meeting Gen. Grant at Quebec, in the
Summer Of 1855, observed to him that the
fact of his absence from our army when it
passed through the streets of Richmond, had
been generally and pleasingly noticed by the
Press and otherwise, and in this respect diff
fered from the practice in the time of the
Caesars, when triumph would have been de-
manded by the victorious General; or that of
modern conquerors. in heading their army
IN its triumphal march through the fallen city.
The General modestly replied that he had re.
garded the fall of Richmond as practically
terminating the war, and it occurred to him
that he had better go at once to Washington
and stop the forwarding of supplies and fur
ther recruiting; which he did, remarking he
had not thought at the time of the matter
of the parade, and shonld have
had but little taste for it in any
event. The economy of President Grants
administration was thus foreshadowed."

SUB TREASURY FRAUDs.-Washington des-
patches state that Solicitor Banfield has been
directed to prosecute the brokers engaged with
j. I. johnson, the defaulting stamp clerk in
the New York Sub-Treasury, in spending the
government funds. Secretary Boutwell, will
recommend in his annual report that Sub
Treasurer Hillhouse be relieved of all further
responsibility for the defalcation of Johnson
amounting to $1S4, al. The report of the ex-
aminers show that the Assistant Treasurer did
everything in his power to prevent frauds. In
fact nearly all of the systems of checks now in
use were recommended by him, but as he could
have no control over accounts where he had no
authority to employ an adequate force, he is no
wise responsible for loss The necessity for
officials having more authority, where such
large sums are handled, will also be referred to.
1t is stated that the Treasury Department are
going to begin suit against Daniel Butterfeld
for deficiency of $1,000 in his cash accounts
while in charge of the Sub-Treasury. When he
resigned his commission in the army, charges
were being prepared against Butterfield for
specializing in the public funds and combining
with Wall street operators in Gold, during the
battle of Charlottesville.

The Seabrook Inquest.


The Boston Advertiser Of Tuesday gives the
following interesting account of the testimony
at the inquest of the Seabrook disaster at
Portsmouth. N. H.:
As the inquest progresses it assumes some
what of a sensational character. There was
vast deal of testimony taken which is mere re-
petition and irrelevant detail and yet OCCASION
ally some fact crops out, or some incident comes
to relieve the monotony of the examination and
to make it anything but commonplace. Up to
Friday the drift of the evidence was decidedly
in favor of Dow. The patent sympathy of the
inquest was with him. His intelligent testi-
Im!ony and his honest face made it hard to be-
iieve that he could be guilty of three or four
hours OF uninterrupted perjury Then Benja-
MN Walton of Seabrook, took the stand and
with every appearance of sincerity testified tina
