The Cincinnati Gazette makes the follow
ing criticism upon Grants financial policy
1t is terse and well put:
ain 1870 President Grant approved the
bill adding fifty four millions Of bank notes
to our inflated currency, and putting it just
so much further from specie payment. Last
fall he ordered the issue of greenbacks
which by law were dead, because he thought
the country needed more currency. Now,
he proposes to contract our currency four
hundred and thirty millions in the the most
summary manner.
"When the Supreme Court decided the
note tender act unconstitutional, the Presi-
deut thought this discredit Of the best cur
rency in the world SO vital matter, that
he took care to appoint two judges who
were sound on this question, to reverse
the decision. Now he regards the repeal OF
the legal-tender as the first step to restore
our currency to sOundness"

o. D. A-The second complimentary per
formance of the series of 1874, by the Or
leans Dramatic Association, took place last
evening. at the Varieties Theatre, and not
withstanding the warmth, and, at the same
time, moist nature Of the weather, there
was very large attendance of the beauty
and fashion of our city.
The play presented was Shakespeares
comedy, "Much Ado About Nothing" and,
judging from the cast, as set forth by pro
gramme picked up from the floor, it is to be
presumed it was very well rendered; but of
this the reporter of this paper can not speak
from personal knowledge as the outskirts
of the crowd of gentlemen on hand was
neither good nor comfortable position
from which to view the performance, and
having no special interest in the matter, as
it would seem the members of the associa-
tion suppose he had, this reporter took a
look and left.
These summer entertainments are source
Of much amusement and qualification to the
people of our city, and the energy and gem
crosby of the Orleans Dramatic Association
aud other societies of the kind, can not be
too much commended.

The critics laugh at Mrs. E. d. E. N.
Southworth's novels, but she derives an
income of $1,000 year from their sale.
She is tifty-fve years of age, and has a
beautiful home in Georgetown, D. c. In
early life she taught school, was married to
cruel, improvident husband, who deserted
her, leaving nothing for the support of her.
self and two children. For time she
worked at dress-making, but it did not
prosper. The records of the public school
libraries of Boston show that they are
more read than any other books. All things
considered, it may be presumed that Eden
doesn't care a straw for the critics.

Diplomatic Relations With the Garden of
Eden.

Rev. J. P. Newman was and is a Methodist
preacher, who, year or two ago, was chap
! lain of the Senate. He was also pastor of
the Metropolitan Church, where our pious
President does up his devotions. Rev. j. P.
Newman decided that he ought to travel for
his health. The congregation agreed with
him, and cheerfully gave him leave of alb
sence. Just about tt at time, by singular
coincidence, the President concluded that
our consulates ought to be inspected, and
created an office-that of Inspector of Con-
sulates-for which there was, we believe, no
lawful provision; but it was supposed to be
all right to do it within the contingent fund,
and SO help out the regular annual deficien-
cies. Lord only knows who could have
beeen induced to take this Office if the par
son had not just now been out of a job. 1t
seemed almost providential. Anyhow, New
man was appointed, with an annual salary
OF $500 in gold, and all necessary allow
ances for travelling expenses. Among the
necessary allowances for travelling expenses
was clerk. Mrs. Newman was appointed
clerk, with an annual salary Of $12OO, also
in gold. They started west by way of Cali
tornia and Japan to make the circuit of the
globe and see every cOnsul-who might
happen to be conveniently located for the
purpose. They have been having a
grand time indeed. Wicked worlds

theological dead-beat, and that the ar
rangement is a scandal to the Church as
well as to the Government. But who cares !!
The last heard from j. p. N. and his clerk
they were looking for d consul to inspect at
the junction Of the rivers Tigris and Eu-
pirates, in Asia. They didn't find any con-
sui, but they write that they have found the
Garden of Eden, and all will admit that this
is a great deal better. The Fond du Lac
Commonwealth grumbles little and Insists
that this Government has no consular or
diplomatic relations with the Garden of
Eden. Republican editor ought to look |
at the thing in a more reasonable light. 1t |
only costs about $4,000 a year; we get rid |
Of Newman, and can play this discovery
of the Garden of Eden in the next campaign |
as an unanswerable argument in favor Of a
third term. 1t is much better than any of
those used in support of the second.

Mormon VS.. Military Authority.

SALT LAKE, June 1.-The police arrested
a soldier last evening from Camp Douglas,
for disorderly conduct, and this morning
General Morrow demanded his surrender,
to be tried by the military authorities. The
surrender was refused, and General Morrow
ordered Captain Gordon, with detachment
Of cavalry, to the city, with orders to ask
for the surrender of the soldier, and, in case
of refusal, to release him by force.
The surrender was refused, and the
Captain proceeded to break open the Jail
and released the man. who is now il: con-
finement at the military post. General
Morrow, some time since, presented the sub
ject of arrest by the civil authorities Of SOL
diers, to the War Department, claiming
that, under the articles of war, soldiers are
to be tried by the military aud not by the
civil authorities. The Judge Advocate
General Of the Army approved of this view,
and the Secretary Of War directed General
Morrow to act accordingly. No resistance
was made by the city authorities.
UNEMPLOYED MEN IN CHICAGO-Perhap
no city in the country OF its size feeds as
many idle workingmen as Chicago. A cir
cular just issued by the Workingmen's party
states that there are, during this busy
spring season, 1000 unemployed men in
Cook county, and this estimate probably
falls far short of the actual number. Dur
ing this winter this class, which, at one
time, numbered not less than $4,000 was ex-
ceed;ngly restless, threatening bread riots
through venomous circulars almost every
week. But, notwithstanding our turbulent
population, no outbreak has occurred, and
the police have only been called out once.
But, if this nJn-producing population had
not been. managed with exceeding good
sense and in good faith there is little doubt
that blood would have been split.
