A few days ago it was reported that General
Grant had written letter TO General DIX con-
graduating himou his nomination for governor.
The letter is as follows:
LONG BRANCH, N j., Aug. "a.
"My Dear General; | congratulate you upon
the unanimty and enthusiasm of the Utica con-
vention on the occasion of your nomination for
the honorable and responsible position of govern
or of the great state of New York. Especially
do / congratulate the citizens Of that state, al
most irrespective of party, upon your nomina-
ton believe you will receive the active sup
port OF the great majority of the best people of
the state, and the secret sympathy of thousands
who may be so bound up by party ties and
pledges as TO force them to support your oppo-
nent.
"To doubt your election would be to impugn
the intelligence and patriotism of a people by
whose enlightened discrimination such eminent
lv good men as Tompkins, Clinton, Marcy,
Wright, Seward, Fish, King, and Morgan have
been elevated to the chief magistracy of the en-
pire state. With your election, reforms in the
state will naturally FOLLOW, which, all acknowl-
edge, have been much needed for years,
"No one acquainted with the political history
OF New York for the past eight years will claim
that all the abuses Of legislation are due 10 dem.
Ocratic rule, but members, or at least pretended
members, of both political parties share the res
possibility of them
when read the proceedings of the cOnven-
ton of the Dist instant, and of the unanimty
Of feeling in favor of you and your associates
on the state ticket, felt that victory had been
already acbieYed and reform inaugurated in
the state of New York.
Again congratulate you, not upon the pros
pect OF being governor, but upon having it
within your reach to render such service to
your state
ut is happy day when conventions seek can
didates, not candidates nominations. This
dream has been realized in the action of the 21st
instant, at Utica, N. Y.
81 have the honor to be, general, your most
obedient servant, u S. GRANT
General John A. Dix, New York;
The following was the response:
LEAFIELD, WEST HAMPTON, N. Y,
August %, 1872
"My Dear General ! am very thankful to
you for your kind letter of congratuiaton on
my nomination for the office of governor of this
state. You are aware, no doubt, that declined
it before the convention was held. ] am deeply
sensible Of the honor conferred on me, especially
by the manner IN WHICH it was rendered; but
my objections TO the acceptance 1f the nomna-
ton are so strong that 1 would not think of it a
moment were it not for the deep concern ] feel
in the result Of the election, and the great public
interests at stake.
l expect Mrs. Dix to arrive from Europe on
the I'd or 3d proXimO, and as soon as am able
to confer with her shall reply to the letter of
the preSdentoi the convention, advising me of
my nomination.
am, dear general very respectfully and sin
cerely yours, JOHN A. DIX.

Two plugs of tobacco in mans pocket in

in Carroll county, Ky.
Rev Mr.. Saunderson, a Baptist minister at
Rome, Tenn, after praying and reading his text
on recent Sabbath, suddenly dropped dead in
the pulpit. A similar death occurred in the
same church two years ago.
The following notice Of death in the columns
of a contemporary is quite capable of two mean
ings: "Maria b., wife Of Henry b., ESQ.,, aged
eighty years. She lived with her husband fifty
wears, and died in the confident hope of better
life"
A correspondent of the Prairie Farmer says
the live stOck-hOrses, cattle, sheep and swine
sent from this country to Japan early last
spring, all reached that country in good condi-
ton, and gave unqualified satisfaction to the
government.
When Noah T. Pike, whose will is now being
contested in the New York courts, first went TO
that city 1t was as a poor tailor. Happening
into lottery office one day, with his two years
old daughter in his arms, while he was talking
with the proprietor, she picked up ticket and
chewed it up. As it was rendered unstable,
Pike reluctantly bought it, paving $3.50, but
few days afterward he received on it prize of
$780, He died worth half a million.

Mr.. Greeley, as he gets farther away from the
restraint Of his timorous and polite New YorB
managers, uses greater freedom of speech. We
expect TO hear that Fenton or some other infiu
entail friend has been dispatched in haste to i'm
plore him 10 hold his tongue, for he has said
enough at Pittsburg TO make his admirers shake
with apprehension when they think of what
license he may venture upon at Cincinnati. He
began his Pittsburg harangue with deliberate
Misrepresentation Of the purposes and DISPOSE
ton OF men, who of all others are certainly en-
titled TO courtesy and fairness, if not to honor,
the soldiers who fought our battles and lately
assembled 10 renew old friendships and express
Their confidence in their former leader, our pres
ent chief magistrate. Greeley says of them.
"a very large number of men were collected
mere az a vast expense with the single purpose
oil rekindin9 the bitterness the hatred the ami
mosities, the antipathes, the fears and exu
lions oil civil war Tor the advantage OF political
parry / take you to witness that the greater
portion OF the journals OF Pittsburg, as well as
the orators on the occasion, have been trying
aielI eest 10 make us, The people, TO hate each
other LOT the sake of partisan advantage"
He knows better than this. He knows that
all this talk Of hate and malignity, this pretence
that he and his followers monopoiize all The
patriotism and all the kindly aud paternal feel
ing Of the country, is sheer impotence. 1t shows
also, by It's contrast with the good humored coo.
tlsm Of his speeches in New England, while his
prospects wore more hopeful look, the rancor
and petuance Of respondent and embittered
man. lie will not advance his fortunes by re.
Wiling the soldiers, nor by disclosing SO plainly
his own disappointment and hopelessness.

= General Banks, Letter.
IFrom the Boston Post.l

The letter of General Banks rings like a
rifle shot. 1t has sent a SILVER through the
whole frame of the party in the State and
the Union. The excitement in his district
and the city on its reception was unparal-
leled among purely political occurrences,
showing in what respect his judgment as a
public man is held by his fellow-citiZens.
Few men enjoy higher reputation for pO-
litical sagacity, and for this reason, too,
his decision between Grant and Greeley
was awaited with the prOfOunder interest
What he says, therefore, carries great
weight with the members of his party.
He has in the present instance not only
given his Judgment frankly upon the ten
denotes Of this evil administration, but he
has likewise pointed in the direction in
which the great popular current is moving.
None see it more clearly than he, whose
long contact with men and familiarity with
the currents of popular opinion give him
peculiar qualifications for reporting Alright
ON great public movements at their incep-
ton. This announcement by SO justly
prominent member Of the Republican
party comes like an earthquake shock TO
those who were satisfied to follow blindly
after the Grant administration. Taken
with Senator Summers letter. it can hardly
fail to be decisive Of the fortunes of the
Grant party in Massachusetts,.
other man of true independence and cOur-
age, who is not afraid Of being called a
traitor to Grant. Let Us be grateful that
there is one more who, when warned not to
WAIVER in support Of q personal dynasty Like
that at Washington, was brave enough at
once to speak out concerning ii as it de-
serves. Unless honest and direct words,
clothed in clear and decided opinions, have
entirely lost their force, the letter Of Cen
In fgyr71- -1e n
effect it has produced on the party When
such a man declares in all deliberateness
that "the perpetuation OF the present policy
of the government is not tor the advantage
of the country" his party may well pause
and consider the extent and depth of his
meaning When he. says further that it is
only by gthe uniting of the masses Of the
people of all parties, sections and
races is it possible to secure the es-
adjustment of the recognized results
of -the war they may conclude that to fol
low this administration any further IS to
throw away the lives and treasure Tor
which the conflict was waged, and divert
the nobIest exertions of unselfsh patriotism
into channels conducting only to selfish
ends. Why ought any Republican to fear
the title of traitor for Judging such an
administration on its deserts Why should
he not first of all refuse to be driven into
silent submission by the application of party
terrorism The example Of General Banks
swill inevitably be followed by thousands
more Of. the Republican party, who require
but to see the real tendency Of the Graut
srlile to repudiate it with equal -manlinesS
and patriotism. They can not reject any
more than he, the union pr0neFea 10 COCO

Father Rxnn,s Poem.

Father Ryan, the "poet priest" read an
unpublished poem" last night, before a
select audience, at St. Theresa's Hall, on
Erato street, between Camp and Magazine
streets The poem was in blank verse, and
was devoted to a description Of one whose
'face was very sad, and one whose great
thoughts and ideas would lead the nearer
to the supposition that he was an unreal
character, had not the poet told the audi
ence at the beginning that he was real. The
machinery of the poem worked smoothly,
and led the listeners onward and upward
through the wide fields Of what might be,
but what is not Three-quarters of the
verses described the mental traits and noble
disposition, the great thoughts and high de-
sires of the subject, and the other quarter
was devoted to moralizing and didactic
explanations.
