Grant Festive and Making Merry The

Others Not All serene.
Washington Correspondence Of the New York
Sun.
In the midst of a general depression
in business and much suffering among
the laboring classes, the President is
festive and prosperous. Hard times do
not disturb him in the least, or in any
way diminish his large revenues. His
experience differs from that of all his
predecessors, for he has actually be-
come rich since entering Office, and his
store of wealth is increasing every day.
As an illustration of his resources,
1t NAV be mentioned that the President
recently offered 100000 in ready money
and fine building site on the Thir-
teenth street circle for the property on
| street, now occupied by the British
Legation, and owned by Mr.. Charles
KNAPP, an extensive and fortunate con-
tractor during the war. e
When the Forty. second Congress
doubled the salary of the President,
and voted him $1,000 of back pay be-
sides, not one of the emoluments and
perquisites, aggregating fully $4,000
a year, was touched. Practically, the
additional salary was all clear gain to
him. Every person familiar with life
at the White House knows that Gen:
Grant is not only frugal, but close in
his dealings, and has never expended
more than half the original pay of the
flee.
So far has economy been carried that
ali the principal supplies for household
use are procured from the cOmmissa-
riat of the army at wholesale prices.
This recent practice has been extended
to the principal military officers, so
that in fact branch of thecommissary
has become a vast grocer's shop, which
enters into competition with the regu-
lar trade, and cuts from it n legitimate
custom.
Since the recent elections have fore
cast the final overthrow of Grantism,

A QUEER case Of literary piracy is re-
lated by the Boston AdCertjSer. Some ten
years ago Miss MulOck wrote story for an
English magazine, which was so good that
it was copied in HdTper'S Monthly. 1t was
forgotten in English sooner than it de-
served, but FreDehman kept his eye on il.
Two or three years ago he translated it
changed the names, and appended his own
signature 10 it. A reader Of the ReUle
translated It from the French for Ererv
Saturday IN which il was published with
something Of flourish before the real orr
gin Of the story was discovered.

A GOOD MAN FOR STATE TREAS.
ERER
Trenton NeHs-uazette.


We are glad to know that our worthy
fellow-citizen, Mr.. John H. Glass, is a
prominent candidate before the new
Legislature for the Office of State
Treasurer. From the best information
we can gather, we believe he viii have
almost the united support of West
Tennessee, where he is so well and ia
vorably known, having been, prior TO
the war, a successful merchant in this
city, and since the war, until recently,
the distinguished editor and proprietor
of the Trenton Weekly Gazette Mr..
Glass, while conducting the Gazette,
earned an enviable reputation as d
writer, that made him famous with the
newspaper fraternity of the State. He
is gentleman of great integrity of
character, superior mental culture, and
possessed of considerable executive
ability which would be very available
and pertinent to his success in conduct
ing business connected with the State
Treasury. Mr.. Glass has resided in
our midst for many years, and we
know we viii be fully endorsed by the
people with whom he is so well and IA
vorably known, when we say that he is
the Fright man" for the fright place"

REV John 3. sGIendenning, Of jersey City,
the alleged seducer of Miss Mary E. Pomeroy'
has made a formal request to the Presbytery
of Jersey City for an investigation of the grave
charges against him. The CLERK of the Pres
by.ery replies that the next stated meeting Will
be held in October, when the suject will be
considered. 10 the meantime public lnd'goa'
ton against him has increased to such degree
that vigilance committees are looking for him,
and he has fed to escape falling into their
hands. The death of the unfortunate girl and
her dying protestations, convinced the public
of his guilt, although other proofs are being
discovered. Il has been found that he visited
New York and engaged rooms at a lying.ln
hospital for a lady, whom be said was IN
trouble, and who could have been none other
but Miss Pomeroy. The child is not expected
