Grants Strange Course.

NOTHING TALKED OF EXCEPT THE RE.
MovALs-PERsECUTr OF YARYAN
A Washington despatch to the New
York Tribune says:
A few more removals, such as those
of Postmaster General Jewell, Com
missioner Pratt, District Attorney
Dyer, and Special Agent Yaryan,
would leave the President without the
support of a single respectable Repub.
lican in Washington. AS it is, many
of those who have heretofore defended
him on almost every occasion when
defense has been necessary, or have at
least held til cir peace and refused to
criticize his actions, are to day out
spoken in their condemnation of Gen,
Grants unwise, and to the Republican
party almost fatal policy,
Commissioner Pratt, whose record
as public officer for honesty, efficlen.
cy, and industry has rarely been sur
passed, and who was appointed four
teen months ago for the purpose OF
Strengthening the Republican party in
Indiana, is removed from office with
out any good cause, and indeed for
the very reason that should insure his
retention; and Mr.. Tyner is appointed
to position in the Cabinet. Nobody
has word to say against Mr.. Tyner's
character or ability as public officer,
but it was the almost universal verdict
at the Capitol to day that the removal
of Mr.. Pratt would cause loss of four
votes to the Republican party in Indi-
ana for every one which would be
gained by Mr., Tyner's appointment.

estimated cost, $50. Adopted.
The Public Buildings Committee.
on the petition of VIM. Fl. Bacon, for
permission to place a coal box on the

reported adversely.
Mr., McMenamin said that the pave
mcnt was wide at this place, and that
it would not interfere with anybody to
allow the box to be placed on the side
| walk.
Mr.. Febiger replied that the Council
had recently, by ordinance, ordered
the removal of ali boxes from the side
walks, and the streets were much i'm.
proved in appearance thereby. He was
opposed to making exceptions in favor
of any one man. as in case it was done

Lieutenant Fred. Is Safe.

A Washington dispatch of July 9TH,
says it is not true, as has been generally
supposed. that Lieutenant Fred. Grant,
an officer of the Seventh cavalry, was
with his command in the Indian fight at
Little Horn river. Lieutenant Fred. is in
Washington lamenting that his father S
services during the war do not protect
him from the censure of the Independent
press. Three of Fred's classmates
already fill soldiers graves, having fallen
by bullets shot from the latest improved
arms furnished by the peace commits
sioners, and the Presidents oldest son
has no desire to share such glory for
many years to come.

Letter from the Sea Shore.
Correspondence of the Gazette.
SEA GIRT, Near Souan

SEA GIRT, Near Squan,
Monmouth County, N. J.,
July 18th, 1876. }
EDITOR GAzETTE-Dedr Sir: l arrived
here last Saturday evening from near
Wilmington to take a position in the
Beach Houte, Sea Girt Hctel. AS my
business does not occupy much Of my
! time have leisure to watch the large
waves come in, breaking into splendid
white foam as they come near the shore,
and to stare at the new arrivals. We
have new arrivals by nearly every train,
and some few go away to business or to
their homes.
This is as nice place of the kind as
one could wish for for bathing in the
surf, as we have good, sloping, sandy
beach. The house also is well kept, the
proprietor being L. U. Maltby, Esq, and
[ do not think the guests lack anything
to make them comfortable. We have q
stage meeting all the trains, a telegraph
tween here and Squan Village.
There are about a dozen bathers o.
now "A p. m.) taking the surf. Tbs
begin to bathe when the tide is abb Of
half way down and stay in fol anS s;vea
or SO, when they adjourn and pse .srr
dinner, for which their exercise, nv.
them good appetite. Our dime ho
is from about four until eight. II ~
tel has had two large additions buih !.
it within a year or two and it 10, mas .
capacity of about one h,z,' - gpest
rooms, besides large ofia, I'D tW0 rar-
lors of good size, barber shop, sf0re rom.
&c. The rooms are furnished tfnotlta
style that becomes good hoteLJrWhaa
the cities are over .Leated, we hare it
cool and good flesh breeze from the
sea, with thermometer seventy to eighty.
We had some telegraphic correspondence
here day or two ago to the effect that
when the air was seventy-six degrees
here it was seventy-six thousand in Phil
adelphia. This statement may have to
be garnished with pepper-sahce in order
to make it go down, but city dwelleEs will
certainly yield the point.
We had heavy thunder storm LAST
night, but to-day the face of old ocean
has pleasant smile upon it. There is
a mammals darling here, twelve yearss
old, that weighs about one hundred and
thirty pounds. President Grant has not
yet arrived, but Smith, Jones and Brown
are here with their "brothers-in-law,"
fresh from the Centennial, which is only
a bout two hours and a half from here.
Whenever the people in the cities work
themselves to death this hot wea ther let
their corpses come here to be resi- tored to
life, health and business vigor. Now
may you live in letter press, and in
"Sea Grt" still be famous.

Business Depression in Grea, Britain

LONDON. July 13.-Accounts from
manufacturing and mining centres
continue to be burdened with com.
paints of the business depression. The
employers are taking measures every
where to reduce wages or to extend
the working hours. The workmen in
some districts are preparing to resist,
and it is feared that great strikes will
be the result.
