keeping MIN from taking The stump
against Grant are importing delegations
lof negroes from the south to call on him
as to what he purposes doing in the COM

he will not support Grant, but he does
not say he will support Greeley. He 10

SEIZURE.
Those radicals who we're jubilant over
Carl Schurz signing the call for meeting
to bo held at the New York Finh Avenue
hotel, ut which Il was stated nav candi-
date was TO bo brought forth, are not so
etfervescent MS formerly, since it appears
that the purpose Of the meeting is the
more effectually to unite all the elements
Of opposition to General Grant. Mr..
Schurz is for the candidates OF the Gin.
cinnati convention which, in short
time, will, to radical comprehension, be
painfully apparent.
COTTON TAX REYrNpINo BILL.
Inquiries are being made, both north
and south, - to the status Of this bill.
The bill is still pending action By the
ways and means committee Of the House,
and will be reported by them early in the
December session. Both Houses have
been committed in direct manner to its
passage, and particularly to the uncon.
stitutionality Of the tax. The defeat Of
the Morrill, amendment to the deficiency
bill was the first indication Of the feeling
in favor Of the proposition 10 refund. The
great bulk Of the cases brought before the
court Of claims are cotton claims, and the
fight against the amendment was made
directly in the interest Of the cotton pro-
du ing class. The next and most con.
elusive evidence Of the feeling In the
premises, is to be found In the fact that
the amendment to tho omnibus bill pro.
bibiting the secretary Of the treasury
from collecting the two cents per pound
tax on cotton judgments obtained before
The court Of claims, was passed by the
almost unanimous vote of both Houses,
both political parties accepting and com.
hitting themselves to the position orgi.
nally taken by Mr.. Dawes and others
when the tax was Ars. imposed, that it
was not constitutional. The justice and
wisdom Of this measure is universally ad-
mittsd, and congress beyond question will
pass it early next session.
THE TREATY MUDDLE.
The great Galivsnter and his pressure

i'll next winter. This will be in accordance
With the desire OF the Grant managers

Without having to explain about its
allure to the people. Boutwel 10 send.
