Grants Expenses in Phiiddel-
phia.


n. Y. Sun.
Before the city of Philadelphia took
any official action respecting the recep-
tion Of Gen. Grant, the president OF the
common council was informed that if
the city would receive Grant in its cor
porate capacity, two or three of Grants
personal friends would pay the expenses
attending that reception. Upon that
assurance, "the hospitalities of the city
of Philadelphia" were rendered to Gen.
Grant, and a reception upon a grand
scale-planned by Mr.. George W. Childs
was given him.
After the city had undertaken TO re-
ceive Grant, it could not back down
without dishonor, because the "two or
three personal friends of the general"
failed TO farnish the money to pay for
the reception. In consequence, the city
was forced to make an appropriation Of
$4,000 TO pay for the royal entertain
ment given Grant, but what is the most
singular Of all is, the city has just paid
out of its treasury the sum of 800 for
music at the residence of Mr.. George
W. Childs on the evening Of his dinner
to Gen. Grant, Secor Robeson, Lam
daulet Williams, Gen. Belknap, and a
few others, as the following true copy of
bill attests.

Letter From Senator Conkling.

Senator Conkling has written letter to the
editor Of the Burlington, Iowa, Hawkeye, in
which< after Ecturing the present prosperity
Of the country, he says:
fnDuring the war, with large part of the
Democracy otherwise engaged busy where
they lived in breaking up the government by
war and revolution, their political associates in
the North arrayed themselves on the wrong
side of every measure which has tended to
Against the northern wing the Republican
party was able to hold the fort. Now the
southern wing has returned from the battle to
the ballot-box, and both wings confront us.
This increases the dar ger. first, because of
numbers and the way numbers count, and
equally because of the kind of domination to
which it subjects the Democracy. AS surely
as the light end of Che balance kicks the beam,
the small, light North end of the Democratic
party must obey the motions Of the great,
heavy South. end. In Congress- Cabinet, eau
Gus and convention this is thef rule as inflexi-
BILE as the law of gravitation.
The immense interests which make up the
amazinYtotal OF our strength, and wealth and
primacy reside chiefly in the States which are
not solid, but which tolerate free thought,
free speech, free elections, and equal rights.
For these States, comprising as they do such
an overwhelming proportion OF taxpaying,
laboring, producing, and property-holding in
terests, the pending political question is very
plain. 1t IS whether they are safer with cur
rsncy, taxes, tariff. appropriations and other
vital affairs, in the hands of those who repre-
sent them and their ideas, ard are identified
with their interests and history, or in the
hands of a party the governing majority of
which is so radically different in tradition,
history, methods, motives and aims. In
joint stock association all stockholders and all
classes of stockholders should have their full
share and full rights; but whenever those who
own the bulk put the whole into the hands of
those who own but little. there is much unwis-
dom in it. This is especially true where in
known matters of difference opposing judg-
ments and interests exist. Where man 5
treasure is there is his heart also.' Where an
administration, a Congressional majority or
party represents those who do most Of the
paying, who carry on most of the busi-
ness, who feel most of the loss or gain,
who have done most and given most, and
have in all things most at stake, that admins
tration, that majority, that party is a safer
agent to trust than an agent more deeply in
terested for somebody else. Which of the two
parties now striving for success a wise man
should support, for the sake, not only of the
North, but in tho end and equally for the sake
of the South, can be judged without going be-
yOnd the one view already suggested"

The Ohio Mining Disorders.

brief history OF the present trouble in Sum
day Creek Valley and its causes finds proper
place here. The coal company, to avoid the
strikes, resolved to establish lscale of prices
that would at all times be equitable and per-
manent. They agreed to pay the miners for
their labor Just one-half of the market value
of the coal. In other words if they got 50 for
hauling the coal to market and selling it, the
miner should receive ST.. The miner has an
equal chance with the operator. For once Ia
Dor was bringing just as much as capital. For
time this was ALI satisfactory. The company
were selling great deal of coal, and the min
ers were making large wages. But it was not
long before an organization terming itself the
miners Union" began to thrust its hand into
affairs. Here was a new territory promising to
give employment to thousands of miners, and
it must perforce, be under the control of the
mighty Miners Union" 1t made no differ
ence to them if the Sunday Creek miners were
making more money than they WERE They
wanted control.
They began operations by going over into the
Central mines and persuadingsthe men to stick
to the Union, and the fellows who had that
which was good thing did not hold fast to it.
First they wanted Union prices from the oper-
ators-about a cent per ton more than they
were getting. Colonel Lemert, superintendent
of the Central Company, refused to give those
prices, and stuck to the scale Of equal division.
Finally the Miners Union induced the men
to leave the mines-strike. OF course it would
not do for the immense capital Of the Central
to lay idle, both the mines and the railroad de-
pending upon the output of the coal. So Col
onel Lemert, by his agents, went into West
Virginia and hired about one hundred an6 for
ty, at different times, of colored men, and,
bringing them into the valley, put them to
to work in mine No. 3. This was about three
weeks ago. Occasionally some of the colored
men would want to 60 back to their old homes,
and, as per agreement, they were sent. The
Miners Union at first resorted to their old tao
tics, and attempted to induce the colored men
to join the Union, and leave the mines, or to
leave anyway. This they refused to do Then
the whites began threatening to drive them
out by force. Colonel Lemert Immediately
threw out guard lines and armed the colored
men, and directed them to keep the whites
away from the premises. Since then the wrath
of the white miners has been increasing, and
although it has been very cloudy at times and
the negroes were in constant danger of their
lives, it was not until yesterday that the State
| troops were sent to the protection OF the col
ored miners and the immense mining property
of the company.-Corresponde Cincinnati

One day a Fox, who had wandered afar

stream of considerable depth and current
He could not swim, and cudgeled his brain in

Donkey
"See what beautiful long legs you haver'

"Do you really think so?'
And such beautiful long ears? If ouly

The fattered Donkey began to gambol and
show off, and the Fox continued:
"Across the stream and beyond the swamp

to behold you and hear your voice. They have
heard me tell of you, and they cry for you.
One of them is ill, and cannot let him die
until he has seen the greatest Ass in

A little more fattery and coaxing quite won
the heart of the Donkey and he agreed to CO.
AS he entered the stream the Fox leaped
lightly to his back and passed over without a

1t opens with rich paper entitled Fashion in
Deformity, by Professor Flower of London.
He takes up fashion, not in dress, but in bodily
mutilation, and practiced through long
periods by whole communities and a curious
chapter of human folly it certainly is. Pro-
fessor Flower deals with his topic systematic
ally, first treating Of the deformities Of the
skin and its appendages hair, nose, lips, ears
eyes, nails and teeth. He then describes the
deformities of the skull, and lastly the de-
formities of the feet and the waist. The prac-
tices are prehistoric in origin, and survive vfg-
orously in civilization, the bodily,mutilstions
of Christians being just as absurd as those OF
the Feejeeaps. The article is profusely illus
trated. AS the most important question in
civilization is now the labor question, and as
the most important labor problem is that of
cooperation, every reader will be deeply in
terested in most instructive article by George

In Arkansas, wherever it suited them,
the Democratic canvassers have thrown out
sufficient Republican votes to give them the
county officers. In regard to the repudia-
ton amendment, it is stated that it has been
adopted, but will probably be counted out;
in any event, the result will not be an
nounced until after the Presidential cleo
ton, for the managers know that if they de-
clared the amendment adopted it would in

The significance of John l. Davenports
resignation as clerk of the federal court at
New York is that he is to devote his whole
time to defeating the ends of the Tammany
and Irving Hall election bulldozers, in his
capacity as supervisor of elections. Hereto
fore he has been hampered in his political
supervision by other official duties. The
New York city election is to be carefully
supervised this time, and the line will be
drawn rigidly on the old-time frauds. The
result will be reduction of the Democratic
majority, so that there may be some hope of
the Republican majority in the State over
coming the Democratic city majority, thus
giving the State electoral vote to Garfield

Democrats gives the Republicans some hopes
of carrying it. The State in the northern
part is well organized, and careful canvass
is being made Throughout, which will be
compesst ston. The Democratic candidate
for G6@1SesS and the leaders in that party
are openly Rposed to the free school system
and take stFe grounds in favor of free
trade. As ths$Eon, coal, salt and manufac-
turing interests OF the State are its principal
support, there is great detection among the
men engaged in these pursuits who have
heretofore supported the Democratic ticket.
