The prcside.s a, LONG Branch.

NEW York, June 1.-THE Herald pub.
fishes long letter from Long Branch
giving sketch of the Presidents habits
there and summer life at his cottage.
The Presidents habits are very simple.
He Is reading with some interest Sher-
mans Memoirs. His criticism Of the
book is more considerate and friendly
than any that has yet been evolved. The
supposition that President Grant Will
visit the Bunker Hill Monument celebra-
tion has not been confirmed.
The Herald correspondent says the
discussion about the bills incurred by
the committees who entertained the
President on the occasion of his last
visit has Jared upon his sensibilities,
and not only the President but the men,
bers of his Cabinet resent this treatment
on the part of the local authorities in
New England, and neither the President
nor any of his Cabinet or staff will again
subject themselves to the extraordinary
1ndignity which has been put upon them.
The President, therefore, will not be q
guest OF any more of the Centennial cele-
brations that are to be held in Massa-
chusetts. s..
THE SMALLPOX
Is reported here to terrible extent. The
Board OF Health has become alarmed,
and appointed an extra vaccinating
force Of twenty physicians. The disease
has prevailed here for some months, but
within the past two weeks has increased
TO alarming proportions, and is OF the
most deadly character. Physicians
state that the cases reported now, are of
the type known as black smallpox, a
malady which has not visited New York
principally confined to the east side Of
the city.
In the tenement houses of the 10th,
11th and 18th Wards, several hundred
cases have been reported within the
past two months, and Of late majority
OF the cases have proved fatal. A sys-
tom OF compulsory vaccination has been
established, and a fine of $500 Is imposed
upon any physician failing to report q
case to the Board of Health. The hos
pitfalls are full Of patients.
I'm the Trademen's Bank, has disap-
peared with $4,000 belonging to the bank.
THE THIRD TERM QUESTION.
An interview with Attorney-General
Pierrepont Is published to-day, in which
he says: "Judging from the Presidents
recent letter, he does not desire to be
President again."
In Pierrepont's opinion Grants name
publican National Convention. 1t is
possible the next candidate will be a
person not now thought of. 1t is evil
dent President Grant did not wish to
predict anything but only desired to
overcome present false impressions.
Senator Thurman, says Washington
special, holds that the Presidents letter
is a plain submission to the people OF
the question of the election of the Presi-
dent for third term. Resolutions Will
probably be adopted against such a
course in the North, but President Grant
will have every vote of the Southern
States.
Senator Clayton believes the Repub;
ucan party will not renominate Presi-
dent Grant under any circumstances.
He talks hopefully OF the prospects of
the Republicans in the West.
SPOTTED TAIL AND HIS FRIENDS.

ship of Love and Long, arrived from
Washington yesterday, accompanied by
kheir agents and interpreters. They stay
