C. HI. Wolf, a highly respectable merchant OF
Cincinnati has received from reliable cores

tanning the character of Mr.. Cramer, the Unit
od States Minister to Denmark who is broth.

organized conspiracy to defame Gen. Grant ex-
tends across the ocean.
SEWING MACHINE PATENTS.
1t is stated that notwithstanding the previous
decision the Senate Committee on Patents win
hear arguments for and against the application
of A. B. Wilson for a second extension of his
twice re-issued sewing machine patent Mr..
Wilson, who has made $4,000 out of the pat
ent, claims to be distressfully INDECENT, but it
is not for him that this third extension is asked.
The Wheeler & Wilson and Singer companies
are reported to have made from this patent over
$4,000 900 in 1871, or $1OS, 100000 since the in
vention, yet they ask Congress for an extension
to six years.
POLITICAL GOSSIP.
Col. Forney, who is now in Washington, op-
poses the recent manipulation of the Pennsyl-
vania State Convention, by ring of politicians
and censures the action of the convention Sc
verely for presuming to choose delegates to the
National Convention against the rules and pre-
cedents of the party. He disposes of all equiv
ocation by announcing his determination to
stand by the regular Republican organization.
The PRONUNCIATION of the new civil service
regulations excites some COMMENT for it shows
conclusvely that while theorists are merely
talking about reform, President Grant is day
by day giving it practical force and execution
Democratic members of Congress are daily
growing more weakened over the political
outlook. They are utterly at sea with regard
| to. Cincinnati, and have no opinion as to who
the nominee of that convention will be- s.
THE MEASURES FOR THE REVIVAL OF AMERICAN
I COMMERCE.
The section for the revival of American ship
ping in the tariff bill reported Tuesday is not al
together satisfactory to the representatives who
have specially urged the drawback system of
relief on the ground that by it vessels are pro-
hibited from engaging in the coasting trade.
| At the proper time Mr.. Lynch will offer an
amendment permitting vessels to engage for
three months every year in the coastwise trade
"a provision which is essential to make the
proposed relief of much practical value. Mr..
Lynch Will also endeayor to call up the bill
which he introduced Monday, simpler and
more direct measure for the revival of our COM
mercial marine than any now pending. 1t re-
tairfs the first section of the Boutwell, bill, ap-
pointing four of the cabinet officers commits
sioners of commerce to enforce all laws con-
nected with and supervise generally this branch
] of our national interests, takes the drawback
section from the tariff bill and provides that
the government may buy or charter the vessels
| at fair valuation. - t.,,- ,..,-.t

THE TRIBUNE in its issue of June 30th 1869,
thus endorses the administration of President
Grant Mr.. Grceley's friends were then in
Office and the Tribune and Collector Murphy
in full accord:
dency, great number of those who had sup
ported his election, with some who had not,
sought office at his hands, or expected him to
bestow it unasked. He was unable to crafty
their aspirations. Most of those whom he
found in Office claimed that they gave him their
votes; some of these he saw fit to retain; while
the laws of which he was servant required
him to reduce materially the cost of the public
service and the number employed in it. ''
Our great civil war had rendered necessary
large increase of minor functionaries; the set
Element of claims to pensions, &C., had excused
the retention of hundreds in place up to the
close of Mr.. Johnson's term; but now law and
justice alike demanded that they be dismissed,
to their own very general disgust. Their la
mentations, mingled with the bowls of the dis
appointed, made up a doleful discordance
whereof the only meaning deduclble runs thus !:
Gen. Grant is found wanting-his Admins
tration is failure p'
"Failure?" how? in what? Have we not
peace and plenty in the land? Is not our flag
displayed and respected in every sea? What
foreign foe molests or threatens us? Who
fears instruction at home, or invasion from
abroad? In which of our thirty-six States are
ing?
Consider our financial condition. Nearly
every state and municipality are paying debts
incurred in raising men for the war, while the
NATIONAL debt has been reduced nearly thirty
millions in the four months that Gen. Grant
has had his hand at the helm. The public ex-
penditure is falling off on every side, while the
revenue is up to high-water mark Even In
dian wars, If unavoidable, must be considera-
bly, reduced in cost by the facilities for moving
Railroads.
Yes; Gen. Grant has failed to crafty some
eager aspirants, and has thereby incurred some
intense hatreds. These do not and will not.
fail; and his Administration will prove at least
equally vital. We shall hear lamentation after
lamentation over his failure, from those whose
wish is father to the thought; but the American
people let them pass unheeded. Their strong
arms bore him triumphantly through the war
and into the White House, and they still uphold
will?' N''N' -o' q

are almost wholly mechanical, as he no longer

the most irhSome that have ever fallen to his

Mothers-in-law are, 1t may be set down az
q rule in general, whatever their size, great
bores to sons-in-law. But in Jamestown.
New York, there appears q mother-in-laW
who has acted rs never did mother-in-Iaw be-
fore her, and from experience it, Is perhapa
justifable to believe that mothers-in-iaw viii
never do again. The son-in-aw of this odd
mother-in-law committed murder, and was
arrested. The proof was strong against him.
But here the mother.in-law came forward
and accused herself Of the crime. She related
with minute detail, corroborated by her
daughter, how she had surprised Bachman

assaulting Mrs. NARROW Cher daughter),
had struck him with hammer. and
killed him. The two women, alright.
ed ut this unexpected result, had has
tily thrust the body into the furnace Of
the brewery, and resolved to keep the occur
renee a profound secret. So well was the
story invented, and so stoutly sworn to, that
the lawyers were puzzled and the jury disa-
greed. On the second trial, however, a more
rigid cross-eXamination broke down Mrs.
Ortman's 1.-THE mother-in-law) constancy at
last, and with it her singular invention.
Marlow's guilt was clearly proved. and he is
under sentence to be hanged on the 29th
proximo. III the records of crime this case
is probably unique. Doubtless it was the
blind devotion Of maternal love which
prompted the old woman's singular impulse
of self-sacrifce, but the act Is none the less to
be added to the credit of mothers-in-law for
ever after. 1t is hard to imagine father-in-
law displaying similar magnanimity.
