THE SPIRITS ON GRANT.

The following we clip from the Boston Pos
of the 18th inst:
Editor Of the Boston Posts
L. Jefferson has been interviewed and ex
presses himself, through reliable medium
as follows, relative to President Grants cours,
in Louisiana:
HE has dissolved representative houses
for opposing with manly frmness his invasions
of the rights of the people,
"He has erected Il multitude Of Offices and
sent thither swarms Of officers to harass their
people and eat out their substance"
."He has kept among them, in time OF
peace, standing armies without the consent OF
their Legislature.
dependent of and superior to the civil powerii'
He has combined with others to subject
that people to jurisdiction foreign to their
Constitution and acknowledged by their laws ="
"He has abdicated government there by
declaring them out Of his protection, and
waging war against them"
He is at this time with his armies under
Phil Sheridan) attempting to complete the
works of DEATH desolation and tyranny,
already begun with circumstances of cruelty
and perfdy, scarcely paralleled in the most
barbarous ages and totally unworthy the head
of civilized nation
'In every stage of these expressions that
people have petitioned for redress. Their re-
peated petitions have been answered only by
repeated injury. A President uhose character
is marked by every act ,ol.ich may define tyrant
is unfit to be the ruler Of free people,"
So SAYS T. j.

Other highly entertaining letters could be

voting any space at all to the matter is two

Attorney General Williams is peculiar

present time is more peculiarly peculiar than
usual, As he stood at peanut stall on the
avenue the other day, little chap who had
been trying to obtain comprehensive view
of him tor some time without avail, walked
over to his parent solemnly and said "Oh,
PIP, raise me up SO that can see that man. ;"
His father lifted him up, and, regarding Will
Hams earnestly, the boy continued: "Pop, it

Williams was moving off, the boy took one

turning to his father, asked in solemn tones:

THE TRIBUNE AND HERALD,
Letter from Jennie June to the Baltimore Anne
ricau

rcan.l
1t is rather singular that, although the
Herald was never SO able paper MS now, its
circulation is steadily falling off, while that OF
the New York Tribune is steadily increasing,
standing at nearly double its figures of last
year. News-dealers who formerly took only
forty or fifty copies of the Tribune now take
eighty and hundred, and they all say that
it is encroaching rapidly upon the circulation
of both the Times and the Herald There is
no doubt OF the fact that the Tribune is the
ablest paper We have, and in all intelligent
respects the most enterprising.
1t deserves infinite credit for the wisdom
with which it is working itself clear of the
many embarrassments into which the candi-
dature of good. kind, wise, but, in that one
instance. mistaken Horace Greeley plunged
it. 1t Is edited with amazing industry, vet
with remarkable judgment. discretion and
liberaitT. Mr.. Reid is not dogmatic. nor
even self opinionated, which is wonderful in
so young and able man. He has his coun-
sellers, which constitut- sort of cabinet, and.
it is said. decides upon nothing important
without a consultation. 1t is infinitely to his
credit that this cabinet is composed of such
men as Col. John Hay, Mr.. Ripley, and Mr.
E. c. Steadmah, and that they willingly re-
cognze the quality of their leader

The order of Secretary Bristow, which re.
moved horde of sinecufists from Govern
ment pay in the New York Custom-h house,
will save 100000 year. The men were
employed simply for their capacity to get
votes. In this connection the New York San
says: "The ex-revenue officer asserted that
the weighers had devoted all their time to
politics before the election, and were under
salary all the time. The duties which they
were supposed to perform were done by the
temporary assistants. Many of the latter
made mere pretense of working. They
charged an hours time if they took a pail Of
water to the weighers Office or did the small
est kind of task. Office boys were put on
the rolls as assistant weighers, and got twenty
four dollars week by charging hour rates.

THE TAX on TEA AND COFFEE.

The following is the text of the bill to re-
store the duties on tea and coffee, now before
the House Of Representatives:
''Bs it enacted by the Senate and House of
Representatives of tie United States Of Anne
rica, il Congress assembled, That the duties
and rates OF duty on all tea and on all coffee
imported from foreign countries on and after
the first day of March, eighteen huudred and
seyenty-four, shall be the same rates of duty
as were provided for, and levied, collected,
and paid prior to the passage of the act en-
titled, AN act repeating the duty on tea and
coffee, approved May lst, eighteen hundred
and seveuty-two."
This means a tax of fifteen cents per pound
on tea and three cents on coffee, imported di-
rect, and an additional charge of ten per cent
ad valorem on both when imported from
European or other indirect ports.
