GRANT ON DELANO.
The Difference between the Presidents and the
PubIic's Estimation OF the Ex-sccretary-
PennsyIvanin to Furnish the Successor.

PennsyIvanin to Furnish the Successor.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-The Presidents
letter accepting Deano's resignation Is, all
things considered, the most remarkable thing
Grant ever did. He says fatty that he believes
that Delano has been and Is being prosecuted,
and that he would not part with him II he was
willing 70 stay. At the same time he admits
that the public IL convinced that change Ia
necessary, and he closes by sincerely trusting
that the future will place him right In
the estimation Of the people who have no
respect for him. This Is the nrst time probably
In bis career that Grant ever made the slightest
concession to the public opinion when person
al friend was involved. He declares tito be his
conviction that MIR. Delano Is an honest man and
that all tho stories to the contrary are simply
scandalous lies. and that the repetition Of thom
by the public press H. persecution but not
wthstandinR this declaration he virtually con-
cedes In the closing paragraph Of bis letter that
the public think otherwise.
This letter Ia remarkable In another view. It
Ia well known that three members OF the Cabl-
confidence IN Mr.. Delano, and that W enever the
opportunity was presented, they so expressed
themselves to the President. But notwith-
standing the opinion OF these gentlemen, the
President slaps them fairly In the face with the
declaration that he now believes that the man
In whom they had no confidence nlled every
public trust conhed to him with ability and In
tegrity.
against Delano and his son John IN regard to I he
transactions with the Surveyor General Of WV
oming were conveyed to the President. 1t Is
equally well known that G.. W. Childs, A. NJ,
Toney Drexel, and Adolph Borie early In
the spring came to Washington, and spent
several days at the white House for
the very purpose Of urging the President
TO remove Delano and appoint William II. Arm
strong OF wiliamspnrt, Pa, in hs stead. They
were confident at One time that they had made
an impression on the Presidents mind against
Delano and In favor OF Armstrong, but before
they went away they reluctantly admitted that
their mission was failure. However, Il seems
to be conceded now that Pennsylvania
will furnish Mr.. Delsno's successor, and
the probabilities are IN favor Of Arm
strong, although the Indian Ring Is con-
ndent that Ned Beal. formerly OF Pennsylva-
mia, but now resident OF the District of Co
lumba, will be the fortunate individual. The
Cameron influence Is secretly exerted against
Mr.. Armstrong, because he Ia nntngonized by
certain prominent members Of Camerons fac
ton, who reside at Willamsport.
II the Cameron influence Is fatal 10 Arm
strong, u Will undoubtedly be exerted for
CamerOn's son-in-law, Wayne McVeigh. There
are strong indications pointing to McNeigh IA
the coming man. lie will OF course be entirely
accept tble to the Indian Ring, and heavy as
scssments could he secured from this source to
put through the Cameron pilgrim ticket.

of dollars were stolen from the treasury and the
people by Huldens carpet bag and negro oflice-

declared by Holden to be la "A state Of insurreo-

Louis OncinIs.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. Elm the United States
Circuit Court to-day Judge Miller delivered an
opinion on the question Of merger raised In
connection with the indictment Of Mcdonald,
joyce Fizroy, and Beds. which charges them
with consplring to destroy public records, and
also with destroying them-tho uTst offence be.
ing a misdemeanOr and the latter a felony. Tho
defence claimed that the lesser offence was
merged In the greater and that the indictment
should have been Tor felony and not mis-
demeanor. Judge Miller sustained the de-
murrer and the Indictment against these parties
for this offence WAS quashed. There are other
indictments against the same persons, however,
which will come up in proper order.
In tho case OF W. &. Avery Of Washington ar
an alleged contradiction on the Indictment
that document stating that the defendant while
an officer OF the Internal Revenue Bureau in
