GRANT IN THE YosEMITE.-A dispatch
from CLARKE Station, on fI,a H..
semitic, says General Grant and family arl1v-
ed here at 6. 45 o'clock last evening, after an
eventful ride from Madeira, which they left
at Z. 10 A. M. Previous to his departure from
Madeira he gave brief reception to the citi-
zens and residents of Fresno City. The coach

1t seems impossible to break up the lottery
business, so long as such States as Kentucky

however, intends to try one more way to
make 1T difficult matter to carry on the bus
mess, and that is by declaring that letters adj
dressed to lottery companies or to individuals
as agents of companies are unavailable per Sc,
and by instructing postmasters to refuse to
register such letters. 1t is not to be expected
that this order will break up the business !;
there are too many ways of evadino its effects.

TILDEN DEMONSTRATES. - A prominent
Democrat, name not given, who has spent
two days with Mr.. Tilden, at his country
seat, says that Mr.. T. is not particularly anx-

without reference to his own chances. His
highest ambition is to ruin Tammany Hall
and put an end to its corrupt and baleful
domination. The reasons he assigns for being
at least Indifferent, if not adverse to the Pres.
idential nomination are curious. The CONVEX

South, and the brutal system of ostracism
practced on Republicans and Independent
Democrats, is at once soldifying and augment

must have a motive. Three explanations may
be given, and each has its believers and advo-
Gates.
In the first place he may be sincere in the
belief that the Solid South has ruined the
Democratic chances in the North or, second
that voice of warning coming from him at
this time may put stop to the outrages for
the present, and give the North time to forget
that sleeping tiger is only outstanding
strength which would answer his purpose
very well. And, third he may be making
bid for Northern Conservative support, which
