from Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi,

The Grant meeting held at Cooper Insti-
tute, New York, on Wednesday evening,
April II, was attended by an immense
throng. The long list of Vice Presidents,
300 in number, was composed of such
names as Peter Cooper, Rev. II. w. Beech
err, Gov. Il. ID. Morgan, George Opdyke,
Robert Hoe, John a. Griswold, Gen. Franz
Sigel, lie Grand b. Cannon, 5. b. Chitten-
den, Theo. w. Dwight, Edwa' DIS, Pierre
point, and others, leading men in every
profession and calling. Hon. VIM. +.
Dodge, one of the most esteemed and emf
nent of the merchant princes of New York,
presided. The leading speech was by SEN
ator Henry Wilson, of Massachusetts. He
replied most effectively to the speech of
Mr.. Trumbull, at the "Liberar' meeting
held few days previous. We can copy
but one or two passages. He said:
Mr.. Trumbull talked about encroach-
ments and assumptions of power. lie is
the author OF the Civil Rights bill that
went further than any and all other meas
nres we ever passed and now he comes
here and reproaches you and me with hav-
ing exercised arbitrary power. Why?
Because we followed the Chairman of the
Committee on the judiciary. These gem
tlemen go to Cincinnati TO get civil service
reform say to you here, that these three
years the departments at Washington, have
been struggling night and day, to improve
their condition, and they have done 1t !; and
never in our history have we had so good
clerks. Never have the offices in Wash
ington been so well filled as they now are
under this Administration. Mr.. Trumbull
tells ~ that we cannot reduce the expense
to any great extent because the office hol-
ders are so powerful. Now Mr.. Trumbull
has been seventeen years in the Senate of
the United States. | want TO say to YOU
here tonight that he has never yet propos-
ed any plan by which even one million of
dollars can be saved and say here, fur
ther, that sixty-one per cent. of all our ex-
penditures grew out of the war. Take
them out, and the expenses of this Govern
ment, measured by the gold standard are
less according to the property of the coun-
try, or according to population, than in the
Administration of James Buchanan less,
largely less, according to population, and
wealth, than they were In 1855. l don't
know where we can cut OIL dollar to-day,
and | tell you here we have reduced the
expenses of the Government nearly $780,
900, 900 under this Administration less than
they were under Johnson. (Applause.)

that there Is school district in the United
States, not one, that has an anti-Grant re-
publican majority. | know that there Is

"A lot of carpenters tools belonging to
workmen employed on the paper MILL
were stolen from the pulp mill last Friday
night. Suspicion pointed to young man
by the name of Garreau, alias Russell, he
having suddenly disappeared on the early
train Saturday morning. Sheriff Taylor
disappeared quite as suddenly on the next
train, he in the meantime having exchang-
ed Geographic compliments with parties at
Fitchburg and Lowell, Mass. Taylor re-
turned on Monday with Garreau in charge,
having captured him with the stolen prop
erty at the latter place Saturday night.
Mo nday afternoon Garreau was brought
before justice Bridgman to answer two
co mplants charging him with larceny, and
was required to give bail in the sum of 5000
on each complaint for his appearance at the
next term of the County Court.

following in regard TO Gen. Stannard
whose defacation and resignation as Col
lector OF Customs we announced last woek;
"liow To account for the losses-that Is.
specifically, is difIicult but to account for
them in general way is not difficult. The
General has been much in tho society of
politicians and ex-army officers, who have
been free lvers, especially when at his ex-
pens'. He Is q generous hearted man. and
knowing that his income was considerable.
he has not hostated TO be liberal. or course
all the details of his accounts have been
Kept by subordinates, and IL is even said
that the General was 50 engrossed with tic
administration of the general affairs of the
Office as not TO even stop to add the balance
sheets to know his standing. Those who
know him best are best prepared to believe
this, for they know him 10 be rs public
spirited as he was brave, and US careless as
he Is honest.
he went into bankruptcy as soon rs he
realized his situation, in order that his
numerous investments may be liquidated
for the benefit of his creditors. His bonds
men are Hon. r. Is. Hoyt of 81. Adams
and Col. l.. b. Plat of Burlington. In
bankruptcy the government is preferred
creditor, so ii is probable the bail will not
be required to raise very large amount to
make the government good. They are
abundantly responsible, so the government
will lose nothing"

We are warned of the approach of
Spring, not only by the song of birds and
peep of frogs, but by the appearance of cro-
quet and coquettes in our streets and yards.
The unsophisticated are again warned of

by those who need not
mix the Kohols jetty dye,
To give that long, dark anguish to the eye,
Which makes the maid, whom kings proud to cali
From fair circassias wales, so beautiful"
