Blanks for this purpose are now being sent out.
3 A CABINET MEETING
was held yesterday, and the friendly note" of
Earl Granville to Secretary Fish was read. A
request for copy of the note was refused, not
even the substance of it could be communica-
ted. Hon. Charles Francis Adams, one of the
arbitrators came to Washington simply to pay
his respects to the Secretary of State. He did
not believe that the Washington treaty would
be failure, and saw no reason why this coun-
try should not present claim for consequent
tial damages. This Government takes the
ground that the arbitrators have the power to
exclude the American caseif, in their judgment,
the protocol and treaty show that indirect dam
ages was not question TO be submitted for
their action. There seems to be- but little
doubt of the pacific intentions of the British
ministry, notwithstanding the vaporings of the
English press. Grant & Co. would be delight
ed at the blowing of war cloud, as it would
be an opportunity to make political capital,
and his friends are sadly out of stock, having
on hand nothing but Ku Klux stuff Of an old
pattern, which don't take near as we'll as it did
when it was the fashion.
ALL IN THE FAMILY.
Report hath it that in order to break the
force Of the Congressional Investigation Com
mittee's report as to the New Orleans muddle
with regard to the doings of Collector Casey,
Grants brother-in-law, the President has NOM
mated w. B. w. Bernard, of St. Louis, in his
place. Mr.. Bernard's wife is Mr.. John Dents
sister-in-law. Nepotism is sufficiently strong
word TO express the filling Of offices with rela-
tives, but O. new word must be coined to give
any definite idea of the way in which Grant
takes care of his relations
FIRE PROOF MATERIAL
for safes, vaults, &c., &c, a new invention, was
tested at the Navy Yard, under the supervision
of the Treasury and other Departments, and was
conducted by Edwin Fittrian, Chief Engineer
U. S. Navy. This invention is of the utmost
Importance to the entire community, private as
we'll as public In this trial two iron boxes,
each one foot in diameter, with q lining of four
inches of the material, inside of which was q
wooden box four inches in diameter, were
placed in an air furnace and subjected to an
intense heat for three hours, when they were
taken from the furnace. Another box 16 inch
es in diameter, with filling of six inches of
the material, was placed in blast furnace and.
subjected to an almost continuous blast for
three hours and was then left in the furnace
till the next day, thus subjecting it to much
greater heat The boxes were all opened about
one O'Clock the next day, and the contents,
consisting of bank bills, lucifer matches, &C.,
were found to be in a most perfect state of
preservation.
"i DOWN HEARTED.
The Radical State Committee of New Hamp-
shire have determined, as the Republican Of
this city, Grants organ, says, "to revive the
tagging interest of the laboring classes in the
Importance of protecting industry" and to ac-
complish this stimulation they are circulating
"Pig Iron" Kelley's protective speeches in that
State. In common with all who read the signs
of the times, I knew that New Hampshire was
lost to Radicalism but with the load of Kel-
ly's speeches to bear, the Radicals have no
chance left to win. PALMETTO.
