We have been permitted to make the following ex-
tracts from a letter written by Mr.. II. y. Swinton,
Dr., on board the British ship FdrdtOoy. addressed
to bis father in this city, and received per Murray
"OFF IcY CAPE, Aug. I'd. 1872.
"We are detained here by the ice, and | improve
the opportunity to send this by the schooner Urunie.
about to sail for San Francisco. The ice Is moro
open this year than last. The ships Illinois, Trsh
Perry. and r. ". Wood, are farther up than VIC
are. Now in sight of Wainwright's Inlet. are Ave
of the vessels wrecked last year, swinging to their
anchors-the Minerva, Seneca, Inos. Dickason,
Reindeer, and brig Rohoia. A good many of the
rest are seen from where the advance ships are
frozen in. with all spars gone. apd some are piled up
on the beach, broken in pieces We found one man
who left the ships last year and remained among the
Indians. He has a great yarn to tell. but | have
not had an opportunity to talk with him yet. He is
very bad with scurvy, and not expected to live. We
have taken two whales. and have seen n few while
lying here waiting for the ice to move. We think IL
is going to be a good season. The feet has done
very well the first part of the season, both bowhead-

Al INsECTIvoRoUs AT.-On morning recently
about half-past six, we observed a number of per-
sons intently gazing at something in the window of
Strehz & Co.'s drug store, at the corner of Fort and
Hotel streets. Drawing near, We found that the OBJ
ject of attraction was a huge rat, engaged in the
| singular occupation for that animal, of catching and
eating flies. The shop was not yet opened, and the
flies in large numbers had gathered on the inside of
the window panes, and the rat, standing on the
ledge of the frame, was coralling the flies at a rapid
rate, they going into his mouth in a perfect stream,
at the rate, a fguratively disposed b~ystander re-
marked. of four flies a second, two hundred and
forty a minute, and p, 400 an hour. Who will ask
now, what's the good of rats?

POLICE CoURT.-On Tuesday, judgment was given
in the case of Geo. c. Siders. by the imposition of
a fine of $50 and costs for selling spirits to a native.
The mitigating circumstances were, that the liquor
was sold by an employee. and that this is the first
7offense. On Wednesday, VIM. Hughes. proprietor
of the Bartlett Saloon. was also fined $50 and costs,
under very similar circumstances. In the latter
case, the witness for the defense, a native, has been
proceeded against for perjury.

REuREN FOSTER.
THAT WASHLNGTON HOUSE.

General Fitzpatrick relates in his travels in
Maine pitiful story about the manner in
which Eek MAYOR Bowen of Washington was
swindled in house trade by President Grant.
The Portland Advertiser learns the facts
from a respectable source and gives them as
follows:
Mr. J. F. Olmstead, junior partner of the
firm of Kilbourn & Latta, real estate brokers
in Washington, was this morning at the Fall
mouth hotel and after short visit to Mount
Desert intends to return there. Mr. Olmstead
says he was conversant with all the details
of this transaction. After his election to the
Presidency in November, 1868, General Grant
instructed Messrs. kilbourn & Latta to sell
the house which he had occupied as General
| of the Army--the house alone for $40, 900
the house and most IF the furniture, exclud-
ing the piano and few other articles. for
$60. 900; or the house and all the furniture
for $G5 900. Messrs. kiibourn & Lstta con-
cluded trade with Mr.. Bowen, then mayor
If Washington, for the house alone for S40,-
600, and executed contract acknowledging
the receipt of $1,000 advance payment, which
was accepted by Bowen and approved by
Grant. Afterwards, General Butterfield, who
represented General Sherman's friends, call
tu u enquiry dUOuI Tue UOuSc, IeulAIklUk
that he understood from General Grant that
it had not been sold. On being informed Of
the state OF the case, he expressed his regret,
saying that General Sherman's friends were
very anxious to establish the headquarters OF
Grants successor as General of the Army In
the house which Grant had occupied in that
capacity. Mayor Bowen was thereupon con-
suited by Mr.. Latta, and at once volunteered
to give up his bargain, but at the same time
took pains to have the contract recorded so
as to perfect his title. The house and
all the furniture were then convey ed to Cen
eral Sherman for S65 900. the same price or
iginally asked of Mr.. Bowen. The Mayor
delayed the execution of formal release for
some time, but being finally asked to say
squarely whether he ment to keep his word
or not, did sign the necessary papers.
So far, We simply give Mr.. Olmsteads
statement, substantially in his own language
and it may be we'll to add that he is a Demo-
crat and hence cannot be accused or suspect
| ed of any partisan purpose in setting right
this scandalous report. We desire to add
that Mayor Bowen is the gentleman who
made the notorious VIM. A. Cook corpora
ton attorney at Washington that he was a
candidate for Mayor in May, 1869, and was
defeated for good reasons; and that his pur
pose in delaying the execution of the release
he had volunteered to make, appears to have
been to secure hold upon the President by
threatening the scandal he has since made,
and SO control portion of the executive APP
pointments in the District of Columbia.
General Grant being a very obstinate man,
| refused to have any further dealings with
Mayor Bowen, who now takes his revenge
by threatening an impossible lawsuit on the
eve of the Presidents reelection.

THE GAME OF LYING AND RpAG

A sensational and manufactured despatch
in the Boston Herald of yesterday includes
Hon. Reuben Foster OF Wateryile among the
followers of Mr.. Lang in this District The
telegram received from Mr.. Foster
last evening, needs NO comment
WATERvILLE, 81.
To the Editor Of the Journal:
Please state on my authority that the state.
ments in to-dsy's Boston Herald in the Au-
gusta despatch, so far as it relates to myself,
is false and groundless.
REuBEN FosrrR.
1t is very courageous policy on the part Of
Mr.. Lang's hackers, to have Restaurant des-
patch about beating Mr.. Blaine and then to
have them afraid to bet even 800 that Mr..
Blaine's majority will not be increased. The
penny subscriptionists" did manage to take
800, in which all risks were limited to dol.
lar, but the second 500 remains untaken.
We understand that Mr.. Lang's friends are
passing around a subscription paper in which
the risk to each Is to be reduced to 80 cents.
1t takes long time to get it up in this way.

The Philosopher of the Tribune held his
last love feast at Chappaqua on Saturday
when he made pathetic speech to circle of
sympathizing friends lamenting that the ex-
igencies of politics would no longer permit
him to receive his admirers and make little
speeches in that charming rural retreat, whe re
he has been wont to display what he so pro-
verbally "krows about farming"
The Portland Oregonlan says that not one
half the Democratic voters of Oregon will
vote for Greeley. The dickering politicians
will support him, but the great mass of the
voters will not.
Mr.. VIM. A. Richardson, Acting Secretary
of the Treasury, has answered very clearly
the falsehood of the Democratic papers con-
corning the expenses of the Executive De-
partment." These candid critics had under
taken to prove that the expenditures of this
department, which they had represented as
specially under the control of the President,
were fifty per cent. greater during the first
two years of Gen. Grants administration than
during the last two years of Johnson's admin
istration. 1t now appears that, beside gross
ly misstating the actual amounts compared,
they included under Grant S3,S04, 1871 for re-
placing fractional currency, an expense which
under johnson was accounted for under
different head. The truth being brought out,

Anybody who walks through our streets.
or takes the trouble to make few inqui-
ries among democrats may see or find out
that Horace Greeley is supported by the
entire gang of Tammany democrats.
From Tanmany Hall his flag is flying.
The Tammany which supports Greeley is
the same ~ that which robbed the people.
Respectable democrats are everywhere
holding aloof from him.
But the Tammany which sis for Gree
ley" to-day is identically the same body
which so abominably plundered New York
and which was defended and advocated
by the very newspapers now engaged in
defending and advocating Greeley.
When the announcement Of his nomin.
alton ut Baltimore reached New York,
Tammany ordered salute of 100 guns TO
be fired in his honor. The Tribune itself,
on the following day. made the follow ing
boasts in its most prominent columns:
SIN the City Hall Park was displayed a
large banner bearing the inscription Tam

two ten-pounders were put in position little

verberating roars," SC. &c. Upon the re-

GREELEY AND THE REBELS.

The second leaf from the secret history
Of the rebellion is rich with developments
concerning the operations of rebels to
entrap or compel our government into dis
graceful measures for peace. 1t tells the
story of Mr.. Greeley's Niagara pilgrim
age. 1t seems that articles In the Tribune
attracted the attention Of the jeff Davis
government, and led to the opinion that
Mr.. Greeley was not much in favor of
fighting the South, and that he might be
used as an instrument to promote the aim
of the Confederacy, which was peaceful
dissolution of the Union.
Accordingly Mr.. Greeley was invited by
Holcombe, Sanders and other rebels to
meet them at Niagara TO talk about peace.
Mr.. Greeley went to the Falls and con-
sultation took place, of which the public
knew something at the time, but not what
is divulged in the report of Mr.. Holcombe
Fortunately President Lincoln had the
good sense TO understand the nature of
the negotiations proposed at that time and
the probable result, and snuffed them out
in summary manner. The time was
well chosen by the rebels. They were
nearly exhausted. The armies of Grant
and Sherman were preparing to wind
about Richmond the fatal coil. They knew
the COnfederacy must succumb if the war
continued. SO they sent for Mr.. Greeley
to save them.
1t is now impossible, in the light OF
these late developments from rebel
sources, coupled with what was be-
fore known OF Mr.. Greeley, to come to
any other conclusion than that he was two
faced In the war; that at heart he was in
favor OF allowing the South to depart in
peace, as he announced in the Tribune in
certain articles. but that he was kept TO
the support of the war by the loyalty of
the republican party, which he dared no,
face with secession arguments and appeals
to let the maynard sisters depart. We
find him at the opening Of the war ex-
pressing opinions favorable to secession.
Net with indignant rebuke he endeavored
to regain favor with his party by raising
the cry Of "On to Richmond, urging the
prosecution of the war and the arming Of
the blacks. Next We discover him en-
gagged in efforts to bring about q peace, as
II narrated In the rebel report which we
publish. which would have given the reb-
els all they fought for. and made northern
sacrifices to preserve the government
