q pyrotechnic display of unusual grandeur.

miles for. He will rest tomorrow. On
Monday he will 60 to Indianapolis, accom-
panied BY q committee from there. which
reached here this evening. Thence he will
proceed to Dayton and Cleveland, on his

WASHINGTON, Sept. $3.50 many depials
have been made regarding the accuracy OF
previous statements as to the beauty and
cost of the Presidents stable in this city, it
il proper to say that the supervising srchi-
tsoi Mullet, in his last annual report, sub
s.Antislly admitted ell facts stated BY the
Liberal newspapers, and admitted that the
stable was built without authority of Con
gress, with money appropriated for another
distinctive purpose, and wholly in violation
of law, and that its cost exclusive of the
site, which already belonged to the Govern
ment, was over $27, 900. 1t is learned
from the builder of the stable that the .Presi-
dent was fully informed upon the matter,
and indicated to the architect the number
of stalls which be should require for his
horses. There are not in this city more
than half dozen private houses which
equal this stable in point Of architectural
beauty and cost.

his nomination was contem plated by myself
and some very imaginable gentlemen living
in the southern portion of this State have
amused themselves BY making up afhdsvits
to prove that his nomination was in some
degres brought about by nv interference.
They made Greeley say that he Was in favor
of pensioning the Rebel soldiers; but, upor
q more careful reading, they found that Mr.
Greeley had written that in 1864, MIR. Chase
