B. Astor is to be distributed among
his immediate family, except be-
quests giving 100000 to the As

charitable corporations, $4,000 to

from this, also, is only a question
of time. Grant means it. He is
playing, as the children say, "for

Republicans-and they but rarely
dare openly dissent from any po-
sition he takes. They fear the
weight Of the displeasure, and feel
that he would go to any length to
mar their political fortunes IL he
thought they were hostile to him.
With the servility he can and will
enforce from the office-holding ele-
ment, he can disarrange any politi-
cal schemes that willy and ambi-
tious Republicans may have con-
cocted, and with the help Of the
ready tools who will do his bidding,
can drive from the party any in
dividual that is obnoxious to him.
He is the dominant controlling
force in the Republican party, and
woe-betide any luckless wight
who happens to run counter to the
President. '-n
1t was settled by the Sumner re-
moval that, under the dispensation
Of Grant, freedom of speech on the
part of Republican Senators wonld
not be tolerated when the admins
tration was concerned and the
cool treatment which Messrs. Eos
ter and Phelps received at the
hands of the administration organs
after they had spoken the truth
with regard to affairs in Louisiana
and the consequences of the uncall-
ed for administration interferences
in that State, shows that freedom
of opinion on the part of Republi-
can Representatives is not relished.
When the country has Prcsi-
dent who assumes to constitute in
his own person "the government"
and who is surrounded by depend
ants who are willing to conceed to
him all the powers he claims and
are prepared not only to defend but
to extoll any action for which he is
responsible, it is fortunate that il
has also a National House Of Re
representatives. in the contro OF men
are indebted to Grant for no favors.
and who neither fear his nod nor
tremble at his frown. No one can
contemplate the tyranical mastery
which Grant has maintained over
the Republican party since he be-
came President without feeling
grateful that there is now at Wash
ington House Of Representatives
which recognizes him as being
simply the head of t Executive
Department of the nation, and as
such, 'hough clothed with great
authority, the master Of no one,
and far beyond criticism. The
present House Of Representatives
will not consider it impertinence,
much less an offense on par with
sacrilege, to inquire, by virtue of
their warrant from the people, in
to the conduct of the administra-
ton whenever it chooses to do so.
Nor will it be deferred from max
ing inquiry by any regard for the
precedents Grant has established
in debating to the Senate how it
should arrange committees, and in
informing the Attorney-General
that counsel in cases in behalf OF
the Government must treat the
administration as irreproachable.-

Grave charges Of official mis-
management have been brought
against Marshall Packard, one OF
the Presidents pets at New Or
leans. Two of Packard's Office
tools arc said to have disappeared,
and with them $4,000 of govern
ment funds-or at least that amount
IS unaccounted for. Among other
things, it is charged that large
sums have boon entered on the
books for fees when the courts

has teen called to the attention OF
Attorney General Pierrepont, and
m ve.tiga'ion Is to be had. We
warn Pierrepont not to crowd the
investigation too far or he may
share Hcnderson's fate.

the suggestion relative TO its es-

Pacific whalemen have made an
interesting scientific discovery this
season. A few years ago they
reached the whaling grounds in
August only to he obliged to leave
them in September. This year
they remained until October, and
might have delayed longer, so far
as peril from ice pack was concern
ed. They went within eighty
miles of the mouth of the Nc
Kenzie river, where sailing vessels
have never been before, and say
that a steamer, aided by the cur
rents, might have gone through to
Baffin's Bay without difficulty, and
then solved the mystery of the
Northwest passage. They are un-
able to account for the atmospher-
ic change.

Harb0r Of Refuge.

/ n correspondent OF the FREE
Press writes that the work at the
harbor Of refuge at Sand Beecl
has practically closed for the sea
son. There are now over 5000
feet of breakwater in place. Thi:
is nearly one-half of the entire
length to be built, though proba.
bly, not over third of the neces.
sary cost of the completed break.
water. The amount of material
consumed in the work so far is, in
round numbers, as follows: it
Timber, ''H 5,oo0,ooo n, b. m
Iron, 525,Oo0 pounds
/ Stone, $4,000 cords
The projected cost Of the COM
pleted break-water was $4,000,
but the prices at which the last
two contracts have been let indi-
cate that the aggregate cost will
fall far short of that sum.
A lighthouse has been built on
the angle crib of the breakwater
and furnished with fourth order
light, which has been kept burn
ing since the 25th of October
The utility of the harbor has been
very plainly demonstrated during
the present season, although as yet
no charts have been published and
not q buoy set. Captains, know
ing the dangerous nature of the
coast generally, have been extreme
ly wary about entering, though in
fact because of the ample depth of
water there is little danger even
with a stranger. 1t is matter OF
some amusement to those familiar
with the harbor to see shy seamen
begin TO drop their leads in six
fathoms, and keep it up until they
round the pier in twenty-seven feet
of water. Accurate survey of the
harbor has been made during the
present season under tie direction
of the coast survey, and charts on
an ample scale will be furnished as
soon as practicable. The anchor
age has proved much better than
could have been expected. So far
no accidents have occurred from in
sufficient anchorage. The present
capacity Of the harbor is sure to
be underestimate by those pass
ing outside, because the usual
steamer routes are so great a dis
lance from shore. The harror has
not been filed to its full capacity
once during the season.
The total number of vessels that
have taken refuge in the harbor
since May last is $50. OF these
only 1Ol were sailing craft. The
greatest number at any one time is
40.
The 100000 appropriated for
next year will be expended entire
ly in cribs, it having been found
impracticable to put on the super
structure the same season the cribs
are sunk, because of imperfect set
Element. This plan will also in
crease the area of calm water more
rapidly and thus be gain in time
1t will also naturally separate the
steam crafts from the sailing yes
sells 10y causing them to pass fur
Their into the harhor in order L
take advantage of the snubbiDl
J posts which the finished super
structure presents, thus leaving
the best anchorage entirely to thu
sailing crafts. The appropriation
is sufficient to sink about fifteei
cribs. This will increase the break
water nearly 1000 feet, secure {
far better average Of anchorage
and make the actual capacity o
the harbor next November doubl
what it is to-day.
