A Trinket IN Diamonds and Pearls
Differing Stories.

Gen. RUFCs INGALLS, has made answer
TO the article recently published in tins
journal, touching his present of very
costly watch 10 the wife of the President
of the United states.
His statements, as they appear in differ
ent journals, vary not a little, one from
another.
First, he assures correspondent OF the
Herald that il was presented to him. But
he furnishes to the same correspondent
what purports to be copy Of note from
himself to Mrs. GRANT. which he says he
sent 10 her with the watch. In that note
he tells Mrs. GRANT that the watch cost
him little. Well we should say, not much,
If it was present to him!
But how does Gen. INGALLS, reconcile
either Of these statements with the assur-
ance he gave at the time to person in
this city TO whom he spoke on the subject,
that the value of the watch was four thou
sand and eight hundred dollarsI
The following is the full text of the note
10 Mrs GRANT which Gen. INGALLS, says he
sent with the watch:
MApAy; Animated BY az ujn,ecsn snec ION Tor
IMAM thirty years with very high reg rd for yourself
the liberty to hand you ihs trlnket whicn beg
"Rufus INGALLS,"
A trinket--a mere trnket-that is all !
How strangely this contrasts with the
elaborate description of the watch which
Gen. INGALLS, admits he had printed on
satin before he sent it to the White
Housed Then it had been "manu-
featured for presentation TO Her Maj
esty Queen VIcToRIA." "Instead Of
figures on the dial, twelve letters are
substituted, Deu mon Droit. Each
letter is made OF onyx and diamonds, set
in crystal. On the reverse is shown the
Order of the Garter, with the Rose.
Thistle, and Shamrock, in diamonds" +
"The chain consists of black enamelled
armor plates linked together with rubies
and diamonds" Then there was "a lone
star of pearl" ION the reverse side is the
letter & In diamonds"
All this constitutes mere trinket-that
IL, n thing OF little value! To another cor
respondent Gen. INGALLS, stated that the
cost of the watch was only one hundred
and eighty dollars Decidedly cheap, we
should say for such watch-as cheap as
the brass with which this giver of presents
tries TO face the thing out.
Does any one believe that Gen. INGALLS,
really sent the note, pretended copy of
which he furnished to the correspondent
of the Herdld2 If he dd-f lie
sent the elaborate and glowing de-
scription of the watch, printed on
satin, and this note calling 1t a trinket,
both together, he did thing too incon-
sistent and contradictory in itself, and too
stupid, for people to be expected TO be-
| lieye very readily.
Finally, to clinch the argument in sup
| port of his innocence, Gen. INGALLS, de-
clares that the watch never kept good

weight of the circumstance that Mr.. NoE's
watch was found in his possession, think

Fred's Exodus.

Various reasons are assigned for the sud
den and unexpected departure of the Pres
ideuts hopeful son, FRED GRANT, from
Washington. Up TO the time of the BEL
KNAP explosion he was n conspicuous fig
ure in the shoddy circles and an ornament
Of the White House, taking his ease on
years leave of absence, pocketing the pay
Of lieutenant colonel In the army.
though holding only the rank OF second
lieutenant, and carrying on the business
OF a banker. as the chief of the firm of
GRANT and SHERMAN.
Like flash he was ordered or, upon the
Presidents suggestion to Gen. SHERIDAN
by telegraph. Was he connected with any
of the jobbery with which the inmates of
the White House have been smirched?
Was he mixed UP with the BABcocR busi-
ness? Was he sent West TO warn post
traders who had bought their privileges TO
get out Of the way or not To tell their ex-
perience, on penalty of dismissal?
These and other questions are constantly
asked, and have not been answered. Per-
haps the truth will be dragged from the
bottom of the well before long. GRANT
& SHERMAN have been ana are large
holders of the 3Gj bonds which the Wash
ington Ring and their confederates have
been issuing by the million during the
past few months, until Congress recently
turned the screw. JOHN SHERMAN was
among the most ardent advocates in the
Senate for the payment of these bonds,
without any investigation of the alleged
frauds, upon the technical ground that the
faith of the Government was pledged.
This zeal may perhaps be explained by
interest for his nephew, a son of Judge
SHERMAN, who was forced to resign Fed
eral Judgeship or confront impeachment
for corruption in office. The belief is gen.
eral at Washington that JOHN SHERMAN is
either silent partner in the firm of GRANT
& SHERMAN, or that he advanced the cap
ital to his nephew. Considering his po-
siton rs Chairman of the Finance Com
mittee, and how much he has to do with
shaping legislation by which immense for
tunes have been made, hemotive OF his re-
cent urgency for the 1865 bond bill seems OBJ
vious enough. This Senator is one of the
many patriots who entered Congress poor
and will 30 out very rich.

The more carefully the circumstances
attending the reported resignation OF Mr.
scHEScK as Minister to England, and its accept
ance, are examined, the more suspicious does
the whole business appear. Mr.. ScHENcK left
London after announcing over his own name in
the public press that he was going home on "a
leave of absence" to confront charges made
against him. Under cover Of his diplomatic
privilege no was enabled to avoid arrest by re-
ferrlnR the bailir who served the writ to Lord

successor was nominated by President GRANT

He could not have resigned on the ocean f;
therefore, either his statement alleging leave
