Another Of Grants Relations Found and
Provided For.
From the Nav York Herald I

. [From the New York Herald
A pleasing discovery has been made at the
White House:
1t was thought. not only by the Senate and
members Of the Cobinet, as we'll as the coun-
try at large, but also, as far as is known, by
Gen. Babcock, that the last one of Gen.
Grants relations had been some time ago pro-
vided with a satisfactory Office.
Within few DAYS, however new cousin
has turnnd up. His name is Tompkins. His
family live in Charlestown, w. Va, where the
President made them brief visit last year.
Mr.. Charles Tompkins was not at home a.
that time, and this accounts, perhaps, for his
delay in seeking the perquisite Of his kin
ship. Also, he may have spent some of the
intervening time in looking through the regis
tiers and over the map to find proper place
He has now, however, made choice, and
has just been appointed United States Mar
shall in Colorado. Lest it should be supposed
that this kinsman has hitherto been entirely
it may as well be added that. under
the rule Of Mr.. Shepherd, he was interested
in street contracts in Washington

AFTER THE LABORS OF THE NIGHT.

| 1t was about o'clock in the morning when
Lemuel Dogget Robinson, after several vain
attempts, managed to get the hall door open
with his night-keJ, and making his way up
stairs, stood in the presence of the partaker
Of at least portion Of his joys. 1t was the
morning after Mardi-Gra5, not that that has
anything particularly to do with it, and
Lemuel seemed much fatigued.
where have you been up to this time in
the morning, Mr.. R.?" calmly inquired the
matron, taken in her consort with flaming
eye.
last night-for officers and we had-eig hty-
two ballots no body elected -journed just
now Couldn't get home
Him Y said the idol of r. S heart .You
can't make me believe that. Look there !
there sir Where did you get that embroid-
cred and perfumed handkerchief? Where did
you receive that lady's kid glove How did
that toilet powder get on the shoulder Of your
coat; and then, sir, please to let the wife Of
your bosom know" said she, bursting into
tears, chow, how, that ostrich plume came
in your hat -
Lemuel r. was staggered. He dropped the
handkerchief and g.ove, and with the air of
one who has just lost a lucky lottery ticket,
slowly took a long ostrich feather from his
beaver. Madam, majestically detained Lem
uel, 81 scorn to respond to your insinuations.
Who said was at ball last night. I smile
at your cruel words. Those (hic) little arti-
cles belong to the mysteries of my order,
madam, and Lemuel began disrobing before |
retiring when there was shrek, long, loud |
and piercing. Looking in the mirror, he saw
himself tastefully arrayed in lady's blue
satin waist, suitable for one inclined to embon-
point. He didn't go down to breakfast the
next morning, SO the servant intimates, and
the neighbors do say that Mr.. R. was seen at
the window with sticking plaster over his
left eye.

SoARD's New ORLEANS DIEEcroRy. This
City Directory for 1875 has found its way very
generally into the hands of our citizens, and
IS pronounced an excellent one-far superior
to those heretofore issued Great care has
evidently been t,ken in getting it up-more
than one hundred men having been engaged
upon it-and no more comprehensive, com
pIete and reliable directory has ever been pre-
sented to the New Orleans public. Among
other valuable features it contains Street
Guide, furnishing II miniature map of each
street, the importance of which will readily
suggest itself TO any business man. Daring
the past year there have been more changes

since the close of the war which fact renders
former directories useless and the present one
absolutely indispensable. 1t should be in the

Gates what its correspondent guesses abou
the report Of Messrs. Hoar. Wheeler ant

like an attempt to scare Conservative legisla

WASHINGTON, Feb. Is, 1875
The New Orleans Investigating Committee
will hold its final meeting tomorrow night.
The committee will report that the Louisiana
Democracy has, for LACK of majority of legal
voters, resorted to violence, intimidation and
murder of the Republican majorities; that
Kellogg was legally elected in 1872, and
should therefore be sustained. The commit
tee VIII also recommend the suspension of
She writ of habeas corpus.
incidentally the committee have strength
ened Lieut.. Gen. Sheridan's position, though
ais course has been heartily approved here
from the first, by all Of the United States lite
Ealiy-by the President, every member Of the
cabinet without exception, and by every true
Republican Senator and Representative
Members of the committee are free now to
say in conversation that with their present
knowledge, they would approve Gen. Sheri-
dams dispatches even if they had been very
much stronger. They regard his course as
one of great moderation and forbearance,
nnder circumstances that would have justified
vigorous repressve measures. In fact, they
indorse not only his acts but his suggestions.
The idea OF compromise is not entirely
abandoned. Dispatches received from New
Orleans by delegates Burke and Xacharie ex-
press the willingness of the Democrats to ac-
eept n compromise, recognizing Kellogg and
the Senate as it is. Any compromise that the
Republicans Of Louisiana agree TO will be ac-
cepted here.

CONSERVATIVE CAUCUS.
Secret Session Still the Order
kilograms From Washington.

The members were called to order by
Speaker Wilt at II o'clock, who thereafter
announced that several dispatches were on
hand for consideration
A motion was then made by Mr.. Land, that
an executive session be held, which being
seconded, was carried into effect. After the
lapse Of an hour the caucus adjourned until
10 o'clock to-day.
What the import Of the said dispatches is,
could not be ascertained precisely, but that
they refer to the re-opening of plan of COM

near the center Of Indiana. in 1850 had gone

was approximately in the center Of the State

The Presidents exact position with refer
ence to the Arkansas business is said to be
this: Arkansas Republicans twit him with
having destroyed the party in that State by
his recognition Of Baxter. He doesn't want
any such responsibility lying at his door. and
will Congress be kind enough to take it
away Springfield Republican.
1t is strange that Grant should take such a
stand in regard to Arkansas, where the people
are satisfied and overwhelmingly elected the
present government, and uphold Kellogg in
Louisiana, where there is bitter feeling and
positive evidence of fraud and illegality.

Tie Prince Imperial Of France,

Prince Louis Napoleon, says the London
!Staadard, has nearly completed his studies at
the Royal Military Acad my, Woolwich, and
is now undergoing his final examination in
common with the whole of the first or "com-
mission class to which he belongs. The
term will close this month, and the Prince
will then quit the academy instead of going
up with his class for commission in the
Royal Engineers or Artillery. His examina-
ton and examiners are the same as those of
the other cadets, but distinction which was
observed in the case of Prince Arthur will be
taken as a precedent in the present instance,
inasmuch as he will be examined privately,
and not compete for place with his fellow
students. During his Imperial Highnesss
stay at the academy he has been most earnest
and assiduous in his studies, especially in the
the sciences Of artillery and fertilization, and
the general opinion of the professors and
masters is that his examination, if its results
could be known, would be as satisfactory as
the preliminary tests through which he has
already passed.

political conclave was in session at Rechabite
Hail. in that city, yesterday, said to be engaged
In making up municipal ticket. Nothing is
known definitely about the meeting or its deliber.
ations or whom the delegates represent, though it
is believed they are the party opposed to sectaran
appropriations, in regard 60 which there is suit
already in the courts. and in favor OF taxing all
church property. While nothing is definitely
known in regard to the convention, it is sup
posed to represent an organization which has
branches in the State as we'll as the city, and
which has been in existence for some time,
though not of purely political character, 1t is
stated a convention to nominate candidates for
the Legislature will be held to-day.

Camp Meeting Accident.

COLLISION BETWEEN TEAMs--A HORSE HERIouHLi
INJURED IN HAsTY RIDE.
On Sunday evening last serious accident
occurred near the Red Lion camp, Of which we
have all the particulars from an eyewitness who
was unable to give all the names. The horse OF
William Thompson had been hitched In the
woods, securely it WAS thought, but during eve
ming service it managed to break away and star
ted for home.
Two young mon on horseback noticing th o
flight of tho horse down the road, and recogn'-
zing it, gave pursuit, and by dint OF hard riding
and repeated waving of hats in the
face of the horse soon brought 1t to a halt. 1t
WAS then hitched to the fence by the roadside
and the two young men put back, post haste, 10
the camp-ground, to inform MIR. thompson OF
the safety Of his team, who by this time had
missed it and WAS on the search Of it. Down
the road the young men dashed until in turning
a corner abruptly one of them came into colli-
sion with horse and carriage, one shaft OF
which struck the horse in the flank and penetra-
ting it sunk in to depth Of about five inches
and broke off. The entire shaft was splintered
from the force Of the concussion.
Here was dilemma. The horse was known
to be injured, but in the darkness the extent
could not be ascertained. But after considers
BILE feeling about the wound was found, and
when it WAS ascertained that tho broken shaft
WAS lodged in the horses flesh the case was CIV
en- up as q hopeless one and the horse turned
into the field at hand to die, while the rider
found another conveyance and went on to his
home in Brandywine hundred. The owner of
the team which was collided with lived near
New Castle.
The father OF Mr.. Thompson, above spoken OF,
his two SONS and our informant, when they learn
ed Of the accident, sought out the horse and
opening the wound pulled out with some effort
the broken shaft, at once giving some relief to
the horse. 1t WIS then driven home to it's own
or, and was living yesterday with some prospect
of racoYarY.
