The Inter Ocean says mot a great
while ago Mr.. Charles O'Conor refer
red to General Grant as "a drunkard,
dragged from the cutters of Galena
and made the last President of Wash
ingten's Republic while yet his gar
ments were besmeared with the blood
of his slaughtered countrymen.'
Saturday Mr.. O'Conor called upon
the President to pay his respects, and
it is said, took occasion to beg General
Grants pardon for his brutal language.
He had arrived at an advanced age,
and did not wish to die leaving behind
him, over his own signature, what he
now believed to be libel ON a great
name
This is very well, and Time is apt in
this way to make all things even. But
there are plenty of others who ought
to follow the example of Mr.. O'Conor;
persons, indeed, who ought to be
ashamed to let this aged and virulcnt
Democrat Guido them in the business
of confession and penance. There are
many such persons in Chicago, editors
as we'll as others, who ought at once to
beg forgiveness for their shameful SLAM
ders and libels on the President. When
will they begin? They are by no
means confined to the ranks of the
Democrats, but the Republican party
is thickly dotted with those who have
for years persistently DETAINED great
name.' Will they follow the manly ex-
ample of Mr.. O'Conor, and confess p

Referring to the talk about the dis
ruption of parties, the New York
Times says no conflict exists in the
Republican party, and nothing indi-
Gates its disruption. The Times adds:
"Having outlived and disciplined real
ly dangerous hostility, it is not likely
to succumb to covert assaults from
some of its disappointed members.
We may perhaps witness strange mu-
tations in the party relationships Of in
dividuals, but the foundations of the
Republican organization will remain

AFTER THE FIRE.
Scenes Among the Ruins of St. Johns.

Scenes Among the Ruins of St. Johns.
last night was an ~incaiculable boon,
there being no gas for either the streets
or houses. 1t is a matter of the great
est surprise to strangers, that twenty
thousand or upwards, OF homeless peo-
pie should have been so successfully
provided for with lodgings for the
night. Only a small percentage were
in the tents pitched in the Chapman
grounds, on Union street, Kings square
and the Barracks Green, but the bulk,
whether rich or poor, might be found
peacefully resting in the hospitable
houses of the poor rs well as the rich
throughout-not merely in the narrow
limits of the standing city, but in the
much more extended suburbs of Port
land, Carlton, Indiantown, Fairville
and other places.
The trains brought thousands OF peo-
pie from Halifax and all intermediate
points, some bearing messages and 9TH
ers substantial tokens of sympathy.
Provision trains continue to arrive.
The saddened citizens and their sympa-
thiZing visitors seem all but choked
with emotion at the appalling specta-
Gle, and clasped hands and free-tiowing
tears serve, rather than words, Il give
vent to their pent-up feelings.
This morning dispatches were re-
ceived and read from various places in
Great Britain and Ontario, announcing
the sympathy and full readiness Of the
people to assist the homeless.
Toronto has subscribed $4,000. The
Halifax subscription has beeu increased
to $40 1000. There need be no fears, for
Il time at least, of any actual suffering.
The scenes during the night We're
heartrending.
Some of the principal provision stores
are being boarded in for protection
against the rush of purchasers of sup
plies. The few hotels remaining do
what they can to feed the multitude
and even supply the special police and
militia with rations.
The artillery has been called out to-
day to batter down with shot the dan
gerous walls and chimneys in the burnt
district.
Owners of safes are working among
the ruins with satisfactory results.
The role of dead now embrace but
ten names, Capt. Firth, a prominent
merchant being among the number.
Offers of assistance for the sufferers
of the great fire, continue to come in
from many American cities, and to-
night special trains from Portland,
Bangor, Lincoln Centre, and other
points, brought lilo barrels of flour, n
lot of blankets and a large quantity of
cooked food. Toronto, Hamilton and
other Canadian cities, have dispatched
provisions. Relief committees have
been reorganiZed and the work syste-.
matized, so that aid may go as far as
of it.

Crossing the Danube,

London, June 23.-Eight Weeks OF
the campaign have left the main body
of the Russian forces still on the north
bank of the Danube, but Il sufficient
Russian force have already crossed at
Ibrail to start n Turkish retreat from
the Dobrudscha. 1t il not supposed
that the main body of Russians will
cross in this neighborhood, but that the
Russian purpose is to concentrate there
Il sufficient force to capture the Kus-
tendje & Kchernavoda railroad. This
accomplished, it is expected the Rus
sian gunboats will advance up the river,
cooperating with the land forces on
both sides of the stream to drive OFF
Turkish gunboats, and thus obtain
abundant room for the safe and sudden
crossing of the entire army.
A telegram from Ibrail announces
that 5000 Russians crossed the Danube
from GalatZ yesterday and took the
heights behind SiveZila, near Matchin.
The Turks have abandoned Natchin.
y sufficient number of Russians have
crossed the river to establish themselves
solidlv. They are not yet cntrenched.
The Russians on landing on the Turk
ish bank of the Danube penetrated di-
rectly into the interior behind the hills,
gaining possession of the heights COM
handing Matchin, after an obstinate
fight with a body of Bashi Bazouks.
The engagement lasted from daybreak
until % The capture of Matchiu
is imminent.
