4 WATER HAUL. A uRuAL

The newspapers which share with each
other Al itching desire to ''set something
on Grant yesterday published sensational
dispatches from Washington to the effect
that the President wss involved in the cor
rupt expenditure Of large sum Of money,
from the secret service fund of the Depart
ment OF Justice. According to the tele.
snms, the disbursements had been made
under pressure Of direct order from the
President, when Col. Whitley and Attorney
General Williams hesitated a. to the pro.
pr:ety Of doing 80, and we were left to
presume that the President ought to be and
would be, impeAched to-day, tried TO NOR
row, and hustled out by tho White House
not later than Monday.
Notwithstanding these Developments "
most people doubtless knew that the story
would prove water haul, ~ it las, the
moment it il brought up to the light. The
money WAS properly, legally, and, it is be.
lieved honestly expended, in New York city,
in taking mesns to prevent the Infamous
frauds which had uniformly been practiced
1t the elections there. U. s. Commissioner
Ohm l. Davenport used it 10 prepare aud
perfect = clean registration OF voters, and
10 organize y system OF detection which
should ensure y fair vote by those who
wore entitled to vote. Mr.. Davenport has
his vouchers. aud will cheerfully show

THE CITY's FLOATING DEBT

Mr. Hsyes's vsledictory caused gnsshing

Of replying to one Of their questions, put
1t the meeting last week, whether the floa.-
ing debt Of the city Was not ~ great year

These figures arc, We presume, entirely

been in the hands Of the present majority

Where the dead are left alone,

But peacefully the slccpcrs lie

And every grave stone hath trace
In darkness on the ground,

Where little child is laid,
1t lightcth up the marble pile
Which human pride hath made.

On the simple and the stern
And showcth with a solemn light
The sorrows we must learn,

On which its beams have shown,

Which broken live alone
