Ex-Governor Claflin, of Massachusetts,
seems to have made an accurate definition Of
the trouble with Stanley Matthews: "He is
very indiscreet man, who talks too much and
writes too much. He 'sloshes' around too
much" The last clause sums up the whole
case. A mutual friend always ''sloshes"
around too much to be of any benefit to either
party.

evldes an answer to what The BULLETIN
has charged upon the authorities of Ballard
county. Besides being as they certainly
are. lax in the enforcement Of their own
laws, it appears that they are in full SYM
pathy with the law breakers, for we repeat
that ample evidence upon which to base an
arrest, in the shape Of atfidavits andtheprcs-
ence of the witnesses who made them, has
been in the possession of Ballard county
official for two weeks and over, and this fact
is as well known at Blandville as it is in
Cairo. The rutiians who threatened the
lives of unoffcnding people, and who at
tackled and drove them from their homes,
are still at large in the county, notwith-
standing all the necessary legal documents
are in existence there for their ar
rest. THE BULLETIN has made no state
ment about this whole affair that was not
carefully examined into before publication,
and its means of information were uneX-
ccptionable. The assertion, therefore, that
the object of THE BULLETIN was to create a
sensation for some purpose unknown to any
one Int its editor is purely pratui-
tous, and is without the shadow Of
foundation in fact. The truth is that
the attempt being made in Ballard to

WRITING from Washington, under date of
the Sth inst, correspondent OF the New
York Sun says this Of the movement being
made to bring Grant out for a third term !:
money alone can furnish the driving power.
And that money the knowing ones aver is to
be forthcoming, They point with PRIDE to
Mackcy's oriental reception Of Grant in
Paris. They say the silver and railroad
kings of Nevada and California are alarm
ed. They fancy that the labor reformers
will dcspoi them Of their wealth Mackey
makes no secret of his fears, and Stanford,
Crocker, Hayward, Jones, Sharon, and
others are prepared to follow his footsteps.
With Grant in the chair at the White House
they think theiraccumuations would be safe.
No constitutional barriers would stand in
his way when his friends were in danger.
He has frequently used the army without
authority, and would not scruplc to do so
again. In conversation in Virginia City
last spring, Mackey isreportcd to have said :
i will give a million of dollars to secure
Grant the Republican nomination, and an
other million to compass his election. And,
once in the White House, I will give a mil
lion to keep him there for life He added
that this might seem strange talk, but he
would put up the money, knowing it to be
a good investment. A man ought to insure
his house against fire. Grant is the insur-
ance company for the Pacific railroad rob-
berries, land grabbcrs and manipulators of
mineral lands. And they are prepared to
take large blocks of stock in him."
