Arrest q tie Dsisish Vice CoasoH ~
-. Lsai., ChasgeA with Eabe..le-
neos.
From the ST. Louis Republican. June 10
On Saturday q warrant was sworn out be-
fore Justice Jecko against Mr.. John F.
Cooke, British Vice Consul at this port, BY
Dr.. Thomas Graham, charging him with
embezzlement. Mr. Cooke and his counsel:
Col. r. E. Bland, and Gen. Baker, learning
Of Mr.. Graham's intention Of having Nj.
Cooke arrested, waited on the former With
the request that be would do 20 At an early
hour in the day ~ possible, that Mr.. Cooke
might have an opportunity to give bond and
escape the necessity Of lying in Jail over
Sunday. They received no satisfaction in
the matter, and il appearing to them prob
able that the arrest would be made design-
eddy at . late hour on Saturday night, Col.
Bland invited Mr.. Cook to take refuge At
his house until Monday; which be did.
The event turned out rs anticipated, IN Of
ficer With the warrant presenting himself ut
Mr.. Cookies house at . late hour ON Satur-
day evening. Yesterday afternoon Mr..
Cooke went voluntarily to the office Of JUS
tice JeckO, and waived an examination,
gave bond in the sum OF s., 900 for his ap-
peaFance before the Criminal Court to an
swer to any indictment that might be brought
against him. His securities were d. .. Kalb,
Alex. McElhenny and Benjamin Williams.
the CIRCUMsTANCEs OF THE CASE
appear to be n follows: Mr.. Cooke and
DR.. Graham were formerly co-trustees for
some s., 900 held for the benefit Of Mrs.
Graham and her MINOR son, the money hav-
ing been bequeathed by deceased relative
Of hers in Australia. A few weeks ago, Mr..
Cooke resigned his trust to DIR. Graham and
turned over to the latter all the trust fund
except s., 400, for which he gave his note,
payable in one year. Subsequently, DR..
Graham, for reasons hest known to himself,
presented this note and demanded the money
at once. Mr.. Cooke paid $500 of it and de-
clined paying the remainder, claiming that
he had information that justified him in
believing that DIR. G. intended to convert
| the money to his own use. He was not will
| ing to paw the balance unless directed to do
90 by Mrs. Graham. DIR. Graham there
upon swore out a warrant against him as
above stated. The next Grand Jury meets
on the first Monday in July next, and the
case will probably rest until that time.

From the Chicago Journal.
The farmers movement against the reign
Of transportation monopo,y and extortion
has, as we understand il, specific purpose,
entirely outside and independent of partisan
politics. So far, 40 good. II this original
purpose will be strictly adhered to, il will
continue TO he successful, for the farmers will
have the cordial sympathy and support of all
classes Of producers. workingmen and mer-
chants, their interest in Oh. matter Of oppo-
ing mono;olics and excrbirance being com
mon one.
But a seTioIs danger Threatens which tie
farmers must guard s.ainsi. That danger l.
from the professional poii ieian-, who. .ee-
ing it, az they think, chance for their own
personal advantage, will rush INTO it with
suspicious zeal-especially the cla-s Of poll
ticians who belong to that faction or party
which has for some years pa-t been on the
unpopular and losing aide. We advise the
farmers to beware Of all such-indeed, TO be-
ware of all housing, professional politicians.
They can't be trusted under any circum-
stances, only 40 far as their selfish personal
interests may be snbserved.
Let the farmers and other friends of the
new movement" give political hacks wide
birth, and push on, regardless Of the politi-
clans, with the one grand purpose that now
animates them. The Republican purity will,
We feel confident, be ready to indOrse and
help on their cause, a. it has every other
great and just cause Of true reform and real
progress in the past. We believe the Re.
publican party can be trusted in this matter
but should its politicians, or any politicians,
attempt to use the farmers movement for
their own selfish or partisan purposes, only
to sell il out in the end. then give them the
go-by. Stand by the Reuublican party if it
will earnestly champion your rights; il not,
not Tha; il our advice-and it is the
advice Of one whose devotion to the Rspub-
licAn party is very great, and whose conf
dence in that party il very strong-but one,
too, "a the farmers of Illinois have excellent
reason to know, whose sympathy with their
cause is not matter of the least question.

CRAMPS DRUNKENNESS.

From the Grand Rapids (Nlich } Democrat. >, ~.
We take no pleasure in publishing we'll
authenticated facts OF Grants frequent
beastly ntoxication, for it is very l,umilia.l
ting to any one possessed of no more than
ordinary pride Of country to know that the
Chief Magistrate is often SO drunk in tho
public streets that he can not walk alone,
but it does no good to walk backwards and
throw the mantle of charity over him !;
much less to deny what everybody knows.t6
be true. Since Grants reelection his old
habits have been coming back until he 10 but
little better to-day than a common drunkard;
In Chicago the other day, which he visited
on his way from Geneva, Wisconsin, where
he was 80 drunk in the streets he pulled of
boys hat and began to strike General
Sherman over the head with it. Grant un,
dertook to receive the guests at reception
given him by the Pulmans, formerly Of this
city, but he was SO drunk he could not rec
ognize friend, and he became so dis susting
that tile ladies were actually forced to keep
away from him. This is no hearsay story.
Nor is it Democratic lie. II can be at;
tested by hundreds of the best citizens Of
Chicago, and even Mayor Mcdbll has been
forced to admit his gross misconduct.
But what of it He was reelected
when It was known he was often drunk.
lie was voted for by temperance men when
they must have known he is often no drum
he is no better than slobbering fool. Not
only this, but he was reelected after thd
exposes Of the San Domingo job, the Leet
Custom House frauds and his partnership
with Jim Fisk and Jay Gould, by which
Mrs. Grant received $25, 900 as her part OF
the profits Of this black Friday conspiracy.
Why should he blush, or any Of his friends
for him, for getting beastly drunk. He was
chosen President after all these exposures Of
villainy and corruption which he has the
right to understand was an endorsement, by
a majority of the American people, virtual
license to get drunk as often as he pleases
and engage in any other acts hitherto re-
garded disreputabel We don't see how any
Republican can justly complain. They vo-
ted for his reelection with their eyes open:
They have got the man, a poor droolins
drunkard, they voted for. He is just as
good to-day, just as honest and just as vir-
tuous as he was on the 5th Of last Novems
ber
we have been surprised to find many
Republican journals finding fault with Grant
for appointing Credit Mobier Bingham. Of
Ohio, Minister to Japan; but why should
not a President who endorsed the Credit
Mobilier robbery by withdrawing letter td
Colfax, and who actually lobbied the salary
grab steal through Congress, and signed tho
bill that put 500, ,0O0 in his pocket. ap:
point Bingham to a lucrative office? 1t ID
just like him and we do not see what the
Toledo Blade and other Republican journals
are going to do about it.
Of course, we understand that such Jour
nails as the Eagle, Of this city, having only
calves brains for the discussion of any sub
ject, will deny the fact of Grants drunkep-
ness with brazen-faced impudence, but tho
fact will remain for all that.

A book I seized. and sought awhile
To Danish far thy haunting smile;
In vain-for every page
But cleaned with love from age to age.

lpaced my room in solitude,
And dark and httul. gloomy mood.

burst away, and check sigh-

Then bounded to the garden bed,
To trim rosebud's thorny head;
A rose and lily-lovely pairt--
In dswy fragrance mingled there.
While one recalled thy cheeks soft bloom
Thy blended tints did both assume;

From out the canvas beamed thy face.
And music's charms walked in vain
