A New York Tribune interviewer has
had CARL ScHURz by the button-hole and
drew from him sundry statements-as, that
he had never tried to connect the President
with the whisky frauds; that he doesn't
believe the President is at all implicated
but that he will stick to those lie has con-
fdence in till they are proved guilty; that
he favored the Presidents views on the
school question, and the influence of the
Catholic church, and believed the beat
thing both parties in Congress could do
would be to adopt BLAINE's constitutional
amendment and submit it to the several
State Legislatures; that the school ques-
tion should not be made an issue in Ma
tional campaign; that he don't believe
GRANT can get third term, nor even
nomination if managing politicians are
smart; and that he does not think the Gu
ban question will lead to a war.

On the l4th inst. the Democrats in the
National House of Representatives were
placed on the defensive in an unexpected
manner. The fact that nearly all persons
holding subordinate positions in the House
who served in tho Union army have been
removed, and ex-rebel soldiers appointed
in their places, is now we'll known. Mr..
Fort, of Illinois, offered resolution in
the House expressing the judgment of the
House that, in the matter of subordinate
appointments, the men who served in the
Union army and received wounds, should
have the preference, and upon this demand
ed the previous question. This fell like
shell among the Democrats, but, true to the
pacty principle, they voted solid against the
previous question, which was defeated by
vote of 1872 to 81, the latter all Rcpubli-
cans.

The Convention held at Columbus on the
9Th inst. TO take into consideration the
best means for the abatement of the tramp
nuisance, did not accomplish any practical
results, unless by their meeting and the
passage of resolutions the Legislature will
be stimulated to give us some practical leg
islation upon the subject. About seventy
FIVE cities and villages were represented
and the general expression was that the
tramp nuisance must be abated. Hon. J.
+. HIBBARD, Mayor Of Richmond, Ind,
was present, and on invitation gave his ex-
perience in the treatment of this class of
people. lie estimated that there were co.
900 tramps and that sufficient money was
spent each year in transporting them
from one locality to another to provide
lodgings for them in the cities where they
belong.
We append below the resolutions adopted
by the Convention:
FIrs-A large class of persons exist In Ohio

ing evil IN ths State, which evil can only be
eradieated by furnishing employ nj 10 ali va
grants in such manner that their labor may be

tees 70 compel iramps asking sims TO work on
the road or elsewhere, in the chain gang IL
necessary, to pay for the assistance they ask
for, or TO form a chain gang and work them
the same.

First National Bank Of Tifin.

, A Washington telegram says: "A qucS-
tion of considerable interest to all stock
holders in National Banks is soon to be
decided in the Courts of Ohio. BY the
disastrous failure of First National Bank
Of Tiffin the individual stock holders have,
under the law, become personally liable for
large amounts. Some of these, holding
that gross neglect of duty on the part Of
the Directors led to the troubles and losses
of the Bank, have concluded to begin pro-
ceedings against the Directors and attempt
to recover the loss of the stockholders from
them. They have taken legal advice, and
believe that the evidences OF neglect on the
part of the Directors are so clear as to en-
able the stockholders to succeed in their
attempt to hold them pecuniarily liable
for the consequences of their neglect.

title OF "The last parting of Col. Hamer

much interest, and do not question the
general accuracy OF its statements, but the
writer is in error when he states that the
"gifted G. j. McNulty was among the
companies from Central Ohio, and was a
Captain"
Mr.. McNulty held no commission, and
after the company left Mt. Vernon reso-
lutely refused all proposition to leave the
ranks. lie had been the victim Of a gross
outrage by the United States House of Rep
resentatives, which had summarily expell-

from his Office of Clerk OF the Honse, on a
charge of embeEzlement. II was clear

the arraigned party, as a protracted and
searching OF his accounts, which was con-
cluded after his death, showed balance
OF nearly $4,000 due his estate, and the
amount was refunded TO his widow.
will state in this connection that after
his expulsion by the House, he was ar
raigned before the United States Court,
and prosecuted criminally, and that the
late Secretary Of War, Edwin NJ. Stanton,
first made his appearance as an attorney
before Washington Court, in the defence.
When the troops embarked at Cincinnati
he was very i'll at the Denison House, and
his physicians, friends and the captain Of
his company then Geo. w. Morgan uni

troops; but when the boat designed to re.
ceive the Mt. Vernon company, was about
in readiness to leave, a few OF 'the boys,

succeeded in placing him, unobserved by
the officers, on board the boat. He died

Cheap transportation, we find, will not
always secure activity in business and a
large traffic. Daring the month of June
the cost of transporting bushel of grain
by lake and canal from Chicago to New
York at no time exceeded ten cents, We be-
lieve, and much OF the time was fraction
OF cent less. AT the same time the Chi
cago elevators were full Of grain and tho
country back of Chicago held large surplus
which it must market sometime. Never
before could grain move 80 cheaply, and
not often has there been more grain to
move at this time of the year, yet the ship
ments have been unusually small
Evidently, there must be something
more than low rates of transportation to
insure large traffic; something more,
even, than low rates and large supply ;
there must be demand also, and in the
case OF grain, this year, the demand is Just
what has been lacking. The farmers have
got low prices, the carriers have got lower
ones, and they have sold little and carried
little-RaiiroGd Gazette.

A celebrated physician of New York
City, in recent communication upon that
subject, says that the worst case of dipso-
mania (habitual use of intoxicating drinks)
can be cured by eating apples. He recon-
mends that when the dipsomaniac has a
desire to drink let him eat an apple. The
remedy is very simple and cheap and is
certainly well worth the trial by those thus
afflicted.
