NEW YORK. October Q.
In a letter to a friend at the East. dated
San Francisco. September 28th, General
Grant explicitly says that he approves of
all that has been done towards organizing
an American company for constructing an
inter-oceanic canal, and is ready heartily
to cooperate in the work. Il approve"
he SAYS, .of what has been done, and il
the people Of the United States will take
hold Of the Nicaragua route in earnest, the
only practicable route comparatively, will
give all the aid in my power. l shall not
start East before the 9th Of November. if
even then. l do not expect to go East of
Chicago before the holidays, but if l could
do any good for the canal enterprise by do
ing so l would go earlier
The Times special has this on the pro-
posed Grant reception in Illinois: 1t being
known when the General will reach Galena,
the citizens nave taken hold of the matter
Of his reception with great spirit, and the
most extensive preparations will be made
to give him a hearty and generous well
come. 1t is already known that not only
the people Of 10 Davies county, but all
along the line Of the Illinois Central
Railroad as far south as Dixon, are
making preparations to be present in i'm
mense numbers. Further than this, people
from Dubuque and Jackson counties, Iowa,
and of Grant, Lafayette and Iowa counties,
Wisconsin, have signifed their determine
ton to be present. An enthusiastic meet
ing Of the citizens of Galena, irrespective
of party, was held this afternoon for the
purpose of making the preliminary arrange
ments for the reception. Washburne and
Campbell have visited the residence Of
Grant, and fixed everything in a state Of
preparation to receive its owner.
The Worlds Washington correspondent
tells the story thus: Chief Clerk Brooks,
CT The Indian Office, speaking to-day Of the
Ute outbreak, said hat not long ago two
| gentlemen interested in mining brought to
the Interior Department several specimens
of rich gold ore, gathered from the center
Of the reservation, and advised Secretary
Schurz to lose no time in negotiating for
the free use OF that district for mining
purposes. The visitors were informed that
such negotiations would involve the abro-
cation Of the treaty, which expressly pro-
| vides that the reservation shall not be tres
passed upon, except by the authorized
agents Of the Government. well, if you
won't open the way to these mines for us,
we shall open one ourselves" the visitors
replied. "That," said Brooks, sis the spirit
Of the white people out there. With utter
disregard to treaties, they raid upon any
section that they think will be profitable,
and no doubt the Utes have been provoked
to warfare by white incursions."
The Independent Republican Executive
Committee address a letter to the Union
League Club, asking the cooperation of
its members as recognized representatives
of the real strength of the Republican
party in their endeavor to elect the Repub-
lican State ticket and defeat Cornell and
Soule. The letter is signed by r. r. Bow
ker, Chairman; F. w. Whitridge, Secreta-
ry; A. z. Sabriski. Treasurer. and six
others, and say " We have tried, as in rs
we saw you try, to influence the Primaries
and Convention by our protests, and have
met only such s~cornful defiance as Cornell
gave to your patriotic words. We decline
TO submit to the scornful dictatorship
which he proposes to use us for in the graf
ification OF bis private revenge Of a Scna-
tor, who has done nothing to represent
in the councils Of the nation the true in
terests of the chief State in the Union, and
who has shown efficiency only when his
personal interests were at stake"
The Times calls on the Republican gen.
tlemen who are responsible for the last Of
the Republican Inspectors Of Election, con-
frmed by the Police Commissioners to ex-
plain how it comes that Tammany Demo-
Gratis are found among them.
Notwithstanding the apparent unanimity
OF the Republicans, at Conkling's mass
meeting in Brooklyn last night, several
leading Republicans have organized an in
dependent association in Kings county,
with the object Of defeating Cornell and
Soule. The Executive Committee COM
prises A.. w. Milbury, E. w. Low, Edward
| Packard and pfhap snEna-ttal r,.. al
among the leaders Of the movement are
Rev. DR.. John W. Chadwick and Rev. Edw.
Eggleston. Beecher followed Conkling, at
the meeting last night, receiving . hearty
ovation. He opposed scratching.
The World cautions Delesseps that he is
dealing with a project in which the impe-
rial interests Of the United States are even
more affected than were those OF England
by the Suez Canal project. India is not
so vitality connected with England as Cali
fornia and Oregon are with the rest OF the
American Union, but connection is SO close
that Palmerston was clearly in the right
when he strongly objected to the construc-
ton OF the canal between the Red Sea and
Mediterranean under French auspices.
