THAT LETTER

There was published in our last issue a
letter written by President GRANT to the
Cincinnati Go.Htte, relating to his second
term of office. Now it appears that the
President gave his consent to the publ
cation of the letter, saying that, though
it referred entirely to the term which he
is now filling, yet it embodied the ideas
which he holds towards third term, and
to say more on the subject, "is inconsis-
tent with his sense ofpropriety." Well,
that sounds very strangely. If it was
not consistent with his sense of propriety
to explain his position, he should not
have alluded to it at ALL but if he does
not feel that his dignity Is impaired by
giving this non-committal statement OF
his sentiments, surely it could not be less
disturbed, by saying at once and. openly
what they really are. This letter means
nothing, unless, indeed, it means that he
does want third term. For, First, us
is acknowledged, it was written short
time before his second nomination, which
he did not decline; and Second,
in it he says that he made a
great sacrifice in accepting tie
Presidency the frst time; that he did
this because his party wished it, and that
he was willing, if for the good Of the
party, to make the sacrifice again This
is about all. Wherefore, we can only
infer that he means to say now that, !
tie party again ,oishes ii, he is willing to
be sacrificed again, and Ito say more than
this. is inconsistent with his sense ofpro-
priety." Nothing is more obvious than
this Interpretation, and nothing is more
obvious than the fact that large faction
of his party does desire the "sacriticc.'
The similarity TO CESAR in this con-
duct is quite remarkable. lie refused the
crown three times, "each time gentlel
than the other" but finally was willing
to accept. GRANT declines the Prcsi-
dencv three times, but gently hints that
he will accept it yet, if demanded by his
party.

Autumn Fancies.

From the Cincinnati Times.
Autumn leaves.
The matron's lament-let us sweep.
Now the cannibal cow eats her fodder.
The rranares are corned-that is to
say, full.
Blank that blank stovepipe to blankety
blank.
Horribly out of tunc-Bedsteads that
won't cord.
Regardless of the Faculty, Nature is
hazing the skies.
Now extravagant clerks consume their
celery ut IL sing lie meal.
The trees have undressed, and stand
shivering in their bare limbs.
Now the persimmon ceaseth to pucker
and sour mash may be taken straight.
Country editors are looking in their
pigeon holes for THE Beautiful Snow"
81 do think that husband that makes
his wife get up and build the fire Is u
beast
The "American Marten' feels his skin
hanging loosely upon HIM, and seeks
consolation in his scent bottles.
The lingering mosquito tuneth his
harp, fondly fancying that like Hcze-
kiah. ''backward runs the shadow OF his
days"
Now plant buckwhcat cakes, chestnuts,
walnuts, hickory nuts, and rejoice IN
furnishing crop Of pimples and boils.
Now make molasses candy and set it
out on the porch to cool where the
Thomas cat can lave his hide in its sac
charine flood
How furs are taken out from their
summer hiding places, and the fearful
sneeze of be-peppered husbands is heard
in the land.
The barberry bush is crimson, the dog
wood is berry red, the sumach and pep

As the mornings grow cool, and win

xORTHERNERs IN THE SOUTH.

The Cleveland Herald and the Louis
vile Co,tyier-Joa,rnaL have been having
an editorial tilt on the subject of the
Southern people not according to North
crners who settle among them proper
social position. The Cowier-Jo"rr'dt
comedies the point. but says that 1t is
most natural, because these Northcrners
do not assimilate themselves to the Gus
toms of the Southerncrs; but Haunting
their riches before the people, attempt an
air ofsuperiority which is very distaSte-
full. The Herald in reply says that this
is not the reason, but il is simply because
the Southerners hate the Northerncrs.
II further remarks that this is not pretty;
and that the Com'ier-Jowndt ought to
tell its readers so; that the Northerncrs
arc q nice lovable folk, and should be re-
ceivcd rs such.
Now the truth is, both papers are
wrong. Southerners do not, as a rule,
cut Northerners, nor do they fail to as
cribe to them proper social position.
To the contrary, they delight to associate
with. and honor by high position, any
Northerncr who, like ex-GovcrnorWALK-
FIR of Virginia, comes among them for
the purpose-not of preying upon and
robbinc them-but ofdoing all they can
to assist in the material prosperity ofthc
people.
But as to the class Of northerners which
principally go down there-they are a
"nice, lcvable people, to be sure. Such,
for instance, as PACKARD of Louisiana,
AMEs of Mississippi, PATTERSON ofSouth
Carolina, BUSTED of Alabama, and
MANY others of that style. And how
dearly they do love the Southern people
So dearly that they always like to keep
them in their clutches, and lest any
should get away and leave them, they
fondly have troops ordered down there
to arrest and keep them in DURANGO, and
if specially obstreperous, so great is the
affection felt that they had rather see
them handcutied and manacled. than run
the risk of losing them.
And how it does hurt the tender, atiec-
tionate, sensitive hearts of these same
Northerners that the friends upon whom
thew are so anxious to press their love,
should vote against them; therefore, to
prevent the heartrending occurrence, how
devotedly do they have these arrests e'-
fected just about election time.
And then their fondness is so touching
They are so anxious to remember their
dear misguided friends, who ,ciil reject
their love, that they strive to procure
from them little keepsakes, such as two
or three hundreds Of thousands of dol
lars. or a matter of that. Just little
"reminiscences, which are doubly priced
from the fact that they are wrung from

ESCAPING CONsCRIPTION.

CURANs COMING TO THIS CoUNTRY-sEvERITY
OF THE EsPANIARDs-ACTIoN OF TEE INsUR-
GENTS-DoCKERY.
NEW York, June I9.-The American brig
S. Owens, Captain Martin, has arrived from
Cienfuges with seventeen refugees from the
drafG. The night previous to sailing the
Owens was boarded by an officer, who over
hauled the manifest of the vessl and searched
for castaways without finding any. An
hour or two later, two boats from different
quarters with passengers drew up alongside,
and Spanish gentleman who came aboard
told distressing tale of suffering which so
worked upon the feelings of Captain Martin
that he consented to take the Spaniard and
his fellow sufferers as passengers. The cap
tain did likewise with the other boat load,
and left Cienfuges. Capt. Martin reports
that the inhabitants are in great terror,
owing to the relentless manner in which
conscription is carried out. Persons of all
ages and conditions are forced into the army,
and those too feeble to shoulder m1skes
are placed on the chain-gang. He frequent
lv saw old men, and BOYS not over thirteen
wears of age, chained to negfoes and work
ing in the street. A Spanish officer was
standing over them, whip IN hand, ready to
apply the lash numerically upon the least
derelictiOn of duty; even Spanish residents OF
the city had become disguised with the in
humanity OF their own race, and were dispO-
sing of their goods and property as fast as
possible to escape from the island. He knew
OF a vessel that left Cienfuges the week pre-
vious to his departure carrying away twenty
refugees. All persons suspected of sympa-
thizing with the patriots were drafted in the
army without law, and of course without re-
dress. The whole country for several
leagues was one vast waste, many of the su-
gar plantations having been burnt by the in
and regulars in the city. The commandant
was afraid to venture outside the stOckade TO
| fight handful OF Cubans and put an end to
the work of destruction. Spanish officers
appear TO be disheartened and dreaded the ap-
| proach of the sickly season now near at hand
| which brings with it tbs dreaded black vomit.

come He had been sick, but he would be
sicker vet before he got through with his
connection with that infsmy. Mr.. TremalD
defended Phelps, Dodge & Co., in regard to
the importation of statuary, and said that
was a stale old story, dug up from the gut
tiers to sustain the rotten cause of Sanoorn
and of Jayne, and to bring discredit on the
name of Phelps, Dodge & Co. -a
Mr.. Butler, commenting on the attacks
made upon him to- night, and upon attempts
to quote Shakespeare against him, said he
would quote Shakespeare against them:
see they bark AT me-" ILaughter.l Does any
other cur want to snap? Laughter. Referring
to Mr.. Tremain's assertion that that statu-
airy story had been dug out of the cutters,
he said that he had it from the congressional
reports, where Senator Merrill of Vermont,
was one of the debaters, where Mr.. Eldridge
of Wisconsin, was another, and where Ihad-
deus Stevens was another, and the latter
had charged it on Phelps, Dodge & Co., as a
swiDdle.
Mr., Tremain again took the floor and
spoke for zen minutes in reply TO Mr.. Bgt-
ler's last speech. Referring to MIR. Buffers
disclaimer of personalities, Mr.. Tremain
sent to the clerks desk and had read, an ex-
tract from the debate on the Geneva award
bill, and in which he spoke of Mr. Tweeds
being hunted by jacksls, not by lions, and
be said that the time had been. when he was
younger than ne now was, ana nau more

sation. and the facts already in their posses
sion, had been committed. When 1t was
opened, the contents fully realized their ex-
pectations. Absolute silence was enJolneo
on all who were in any way cognlzant OF the
facts, it being deemed expedient to
await the future investigation that
should be instituted before max
ing known the facts to the public. In
anxiety and surrounded by feelings OF
doubt and insecurity, they awaited.s response
to their telegram. In the meaptime, every
effort was made to ascertain il the suspic-
ions engendered by acts that were, to say the
least, ambiguous had been well founded.
Enough evidence was elected by their inves-
tigation to satisfy the most incredulous that
they had not proceeded without due cause,
and it will be published at large by the in
quest that will be held to day at house on
Milwaukee avenue.
THE STATEMENTS OF THE NEIGHBoRs,
coupled with the presence of Earll as the
attending physician, leave scarcely doubt
in the minds OF those conversant with its
details that another has been added to the
long list of cases that darken his career in
Chicago. Sunday morning a dispatch
reached headquarters announcing that their
request had been complied with, and that
the dead remains of the victim lay then in
the station house, awaiting orders from the
police of this city as to their disposal. They
were instructed to hold them, and by the
train which left the city or Sabbath night, a
member of Captain Hickey's staff was
borne thither to assume their charge de

mains of her who, in the flush Of health,
and pride. and vigOr. had, as the day was
dawning over this great city, awakening its
inhabitants to activity ard a new life,
yielded up the ghost as a sacrifice to mans
perfi9y. The inquest of Wednesday only
verified the abve facts, and the inquiry is to
be continued. DT. Earll was arrested We'd
nesday afternoon. and, pen5ing the investi-
CATION, is confined in the West Side station d.
IT he is guilty OF this double murder, as the
evidence seems 20 indicate, il is to be hoped
that an exception will be made in this case,
and the crime fastened upon him with the
fullest extent of the law.
