Really our distinguished felIow-citizen.
ex-PresidPnt Grant, is becoming an adept in
the art of speech making. His remarks az
Edinburgh yesterday, on being presented
with the freedom of the city, were graceful
and appropriate. And, speaking Of our ex-
President, a dispatch from Paris says the
editor Of a Paris journal 'has been sum-
moned before the correctional tribunal for
publishing an insulting remark relative to
General Grant" The General became in
ured to abuse while President. and it is not
at all likely that he cares much now for the
revilings OF Paris newspaper.

The republican party in New York is In a
somewhat demOraliZed condition, owing TO
the effect Of the Presidents civil service
order, and stands an excellent chance OF being
defeated In the state election this fall. An
ex-republican Congressman from New York,
now in this city, said yesterday, To Illus
trate how the Presidents order works, will
take my own county. Mr.. -, postmaster
at -, was formerly chairman of the county
committee, and was a very active and infiu-
entail man. He spent months in the last
Presidential campaign at his own expense.
and contributed literally for political Pur-
poses. He was by all odds our very best
man. Well, when the President issued his
order Mr. resigned the county chairman
ship, and we finally liked upon another party
to I'LL the vacancy, but he could not accept
because he held the position OF United
States marshal. The result was that We had
TO select our next best man, who, by the
way, is not half so efficient as postmaster
- would be in the same position. In CON
sequence of this the republicans have become
apathetic and don't seem To take much in
terest in the approaching election"

How is this? Some scientific gentlemen
on the Hudson, peering through a small tale
scope, have discovered third moon O; Mars.
When the first two satellites of that planet
were discovered, the fact was attributed to
the enormous power OF our great equatorial
telescope. The discovery of another moon,
through a much smaller instrument, is there
fore matter OF surprise, and the public
would like the astronomers to rise and ex-
plain.

What has become of Boss Tweed? What
with the war In Europe, Chief Joseph and
sitting Bull, and the late strikes. "the Old
man" has been almost forgotten. II is under
stood, however, that mis- case will be revived
shortly by an investigating committee of the
New York board Of aldermen. The commit
lee have directed an application TO be made
10 the Supreme Court for an order command
Ing Tweed TO appear before them. The New
York Ere7airg Post suggests that he may re-
fuse TO answer, in which case the worst that
could happen to him would be Imprisonment
Ter contempt; and he is in prison already.
