THE CLEws investi cation bids fair to
be as damsging to Grant as that which
laid bare blsck Friday. In addition to
the exposes that have already been
made, in which Judge Dent figures so
disgracefuly, George Wilkes, OF the
Spirit of the Times, teIls that in the
spring of 1859 he was apprised
by confidential letter from Washington
that General Grant had chosen him for
United States minister to Mexico, and
that in few days his appointment
would bs proclaimed. On the day fol-
lowing this communication Mr.. Page,
Of the firm Of Dent & Page, lawyers Of
Washington (Which Dent, by the by, is
the came Louis Dent alluded to in the
Cheever case), went to New York,
and applied to the treasurer of the
Lower California company, in which
Mr.. Wilkes was largely interested, for q
fae, In order to aid Mr.. Wilkes in MAX
iug sure of the Mexican mission; and
for this service the said Page & Dent
were willing to take money and stock
Of the Lower California company.
When, however, this Communication
was made 10 Mr.. Wilkes, he promptly
refused to entertain it, and even de-
clined to have an interview with Mr..
Page. This overture from Page & Dent
was made on Friday; on the neyt day
Page returned to Washington, where,
doubtless, he made his report on Sunday
to the parties who had sent him, and
the result was that, on the next day,
Monday, the name Of Mr.. WAkes was
removed from the diplomatic slate, and
an unthOught-of person appointed in his
place. Subsequently a second attempt
was made upon Wilkes for the same
mission, but he treated it and Mr.. Page
as in the first instance. Shortly after
this Mr.. Wilkes went to Europe on a
pleasure trip, and while in Paris, in the
middle of July, Mr.. Arson Burlingame,
minister from China, came to Mr.
Wilkes's room, st the Grand hotel, &C.
companied by other friends, to congrat-
ulste him upon the unmistakable news
which had just then been received, that
General Grant had chosen him for the
Chinese mission. Mr.. Wilkes, however,
quickly cooled the Enthusiasm Of his
friends by rensrking that he must take
the liberty of doubling the consumms-
ton of General Grants complimentary
intentions, as he had left no one behind
him in the United states to deal with
Dent Il Page. HIS judgment proved 10
DC correct, for soon sttergari another
psEson Ess appointed 70 the Chinese

in view, there aTe Republi-

Mr.. COMsTOCK, Of New York, who

FATHER LEUKEN, who has for long
time been pastor Of the church of st.
Peter and st. Paul, al Springfield, Hi
nois, was married at Cincinnati, Ohio,
by Justice Of the peace, few days ago.
l. appears that two years ago the good
father, who has tined of celibacy, visited
Europe with Miss Laugemsnn, whom
he has married, and was followed by
rumors more or less Of scandalous ma
ture. 1t seems, however, that these ru-
mors were not justified by the facts.
But that there was q cOurtship going
on, is fully justified by the facts, for
over two weeks ago Father Leuken Wis
tied Bishop BaItes, at Alton, and asked
to be released from duty. His re-
guest was not granted, and upon
this refusal was based Mr.. Leu
ken's determination to elope, The
clothing and other personal effects of
himself and Miss Lsugemann were
shipped away from Springfield go as to
eIude suspicion, and a few days after
they both left, and are now husbaud
and wife, as Father Leuken himself
writes. A report that he took
with him q portion Of the church
fund is stated on the best authority to
be incorrect. He had some money Of
his own, and Miss Laugemann was
worth not less than four thousand dol
jars. 1t is the old, old story over again.

THE judges Of the supreme court o
Michigan are as wise aud as solemn in
their wisdom as Jack Bunsby. They re-
Gently decided that an inn-keeper is not
liable for the loss of his guests goods
unless the l1ss is caused by his negli-
gence, but that he is held 10 guarantee
the good conduct of his servants and all
other persons in his house. Hence,
when the goods of guest are stolen or
disappear in an unexplained way, the
loss is presumed to be in consequence of
Of the inn-Eeeper's negligence. Proba-
bly, the average inn-keeper will gain a
great deal Of consolation from such de-
cision. He isn't liable unless through
his own neglect, but whatever Losses
may occur through the csrelessness Of
his servants are presumed to be through
his negligence. Wise conclusion.

cultural, aud other interests Of Canada
would have resulted from the adoption
of the treaty. All Of which reads like
