& Its reported that President Grant was asked,
,s5esterday, if it was true that he had ordered
.she removal OF certain ordnance and munitions
f,f war from the ST. Louis Arsenal 10 point
nearer the capital, and that he replied 1T was
s1ruc, and that the difference between his own
!. and the administration Of ex-PreSident Buch.
anan in the face Of danger was, that while the
former sent ordnance and munitions OF Wa7
from The North to the South, he sent such
armament from the South to the North. And
yet this is the same man who entered upon bis
administration with the cry OF 'ict US have
peace" but whose whole term of Office has given
that cry direct contradiction, and who Is COW
attempting TO prolong that term, or falling IN
that,to iuauguratc trauIuleutly elected presl
dent, even at the risk Of forcing civil war up
on the country.

MORNINGS kilograms vas to the effect that
there is bare possibility that the Porte may
yield, though the praspecssis certainly not

doned, even should the conference break up
to-day, but Turkey would thea haze TO buy
peace at higher price than is now asked.
The plenipotentiarieS do not appear to have
abandoned the hope that rupture may yet De
avoided. Midhat Pasha, when visiting the
German anu Italian Ambassadors Gu Tuesday,
adopted somewhat N ore concillatory tone, aud
it is believed the Porte at the sitting Of the con-
ference will not give y formal refusal to the de-.
mands of the Powers.

that he has made no arrangements to resume

is considered Significant For once what the
radicals say about; the President elect is COR
