G. c.. LIMPERT,

Mr.. George ". Childs, of Philadel-
phia, being interviewed, said that Gen
eral Grant had never mentioned to his
nearest personal friends the subject Of
the Presidency, and they did not know
whether or not he would be candi-
date; that he neither desires or seeks a
nomination; that his intimate friends
are opposed to his being Il candidate.
unless it is forced on him; and that
President Hayes, in expressing his
wishes for Grant as his successor. had
made a good point in calling attention
to the fact that the objections to Grant
as third-term candidate would not
apply In 1880, because, having left Of
fee and the control of Federal patron
age, he was like any other new man
and on the same footing. The story
that Mr.. Chilus is organizing excursion
parties to go to San Francisco to re-
ceive General Grant is untrue. If
such enterprises are organized, they
are probably specqlations Of the rail-
road companies. MI. Childs has re-
celved many letters of inquiry about
this overland trip, and he wishes it
understood that he has nothing to do
with the matter. @t" '4A

rassment to the enforcement of the
laws Of the United States has resulted
from the Institution Of numerous IN
just criminal prosecutions in the State
Courts against the officers of the Uni
ted States by Yiolators of the internal
revenue laws and their friends. Espec-
tally has this been the case in North
Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennes-
see, where in some inctances the State
officers, and even judges OH the bench
have lent the weight of their influence
to weaken the authority Of the officers
and laws OF the United States. 2. The
State officers and State courts, while
often invoked to arrest and punish
United States officers for alleged often
ces, have rarely ever taken any steps
to arrest or indict persons guilty Of as
saalting or numbering the officers of
the United States, '-'~ .--l@ ,-+' :. j..
I have entered into the details Of this
branch of the public service SO as to
show you its magnitude and import,
ance, and to call your attention to the
fact that the efforts for the suppression
of frauds in. the manufacture and sale
of spirits and tobacco, for the want of
sufficient amount Of funds have been
periodical. 4 - # 4> ,+e..
"The practice of defrauding the
Government and resisting it's officers
has become SO firmly fixed that it is
impossible to enforce the laws against
such offenders without the presence of
a force Of, armed men sufficiently
strong to deter resistance, and, if nee
essary, to overcome it. ..'- Ea~ "-
Il have the honor of making the
foregoing remarks the basis Of the fol-
lowing recommendations:
'First-I recommend that an act of
Congress be passed for the punishment
in the courts Of the United States Of
the crimes of murder and assault to
murder when perpetrated upon an Of
ficer Of the United States during or for
the performance of his official acts as
an officer. W.
Second recommend that the APP
preparation for salaries and expenses
Of the collectors of internal revenue
for the next fiscal year shall be 81 ,900.-
900, and, if you concur in these views,
/ have to request that this communi
cation be laid before the proper COM
mittee Of Congress" " ~. suu
Let all loyal citizens reflect upon
this effort Of the Confederate Democ-
racy under the above statement of
facts, to deprive the United States
officer of the right of appeal from the
State to the United States court which
law has received the approval of such
statesmen as Madison, Jackson, Clay,
Webster, Benton and even Calhoun in
his earlier days, before he imbibed the
heresy, Of State rights. A4aE

The Alliance of March 20 says: The
only way to treat a zstng disease IS
through the lungs by the 5,a7aozation of
a nedicated vapor, and any otAer plan
will end in death. We say it with a
confidence drawn from personal in
vestigation, that the consumptive pa
tient, unless fairly riddled by disease,
can be cured by inhalation. DR.. Rob
ert Hunter, of this city (Chicago), has
cured hundreds of cases after tubercles
had formed, and after bleeding at the
lungs had occurred, and we know of
many men and women of this city
whose names, were this a mere adver-

. PUTNAM's DEPARTURE FOR BUNK
Err HILL.--Dr. Frederick A. Putnam,
a granddaughter Of General Israel Put
nam, of Revolutionary fame, tells this
story about the General that has never
before been made public: The Gener-
al was about sitting down to dinner in
my grandfather's, his brothers house,
when the first news reached him that
the British had marched from Boston
to attack the Americans. There was a
roast chicken smoking hot on the Ia
BILE when the pounding of a big drum
was heard out .of doors. All hurried
ont, and big darkey was seen COM
ing down the street crying, "The Brit
ish have left Boston to tack the Amer
leans. General Putnam's horse, a
big black fellow, that would let no one
ride him but his master, was ordered
to the front of the house. Putnam
was urged to stay and eat his dinner,
but he replied that he couldn't wait,
he was off for Boston, Then he
grabbed one of the roast chickens from
the table, pulled it apart by Il e legs,
and mounted his horse. gnawing The

Last Friday week, Gov. Robinson, of
New Y ork, sent in six yetoes of bills
originating in the Assembly. These
Vetoes seemed to be received in better
nature by the Republican majority,
than are those Of President Hayes, bv
the opposite party in Congress. While
the vetoes were being road. the mem
bers gathered around the speakers
desk and laughingly commented on the
wording of the messages. AT last the
crowd burst forth into laughter at the
second announcement of q veto of one
of the bills of a certain member, when
the speaker raped his. gavel sharply,
and said grimly, d" Gentlemen, due
