Is not mt TO be Citv Auditor OF Cincinnati.
His most important accounts are in confu-
sion. The investigations referred to were
not worth malediction. If the Republic
an members # the Legislature do not un-
derstand these things they are singularly
slow OF comprehension. The dirty rings of

OF the fact that there was gale
on the Gulf of Mexico, and GEN.
eral Grant and party were on
the way from Vera Cruz to Galveston.
This was quite sufficient to authorize the
newsbo!s to cry, "All about-th drowning
OF General Grant in Mexico" There is no
serious reason to think that the General

assurance that tie country is not in danger
