New YORK, May 19.-The following
letter from ex.President Grant to Sen.
ator Jones, of Nevada, is published
here: .s - ..s.s,.....,... ....:,-.g ..--.
City OF MEXICO, April "a. ..
Ny DEAR SENATOR 81 see by the
latest dispatches received here from
tho Capital of our country, that the
dead-lo in organizing the Senate 10
not yet broken, and that nothing has
been done by the President to sllay
the bitterness which must be engen.
dered by his most recent appOin-
ments. When the first batch Of nom
nations for New York was sent in, l
President had determined to recog nize
the Republican party, and not a fac.
ton, bat his nomination Of the next
day convinced me that the first act
was but part of deep.laid scheme by
somebody to punish prominent lead
srs for being openly friendly to me.
1 cannot believe that General Garfield
10 the author of this policy. l give
him credit for being too big man 10
descend 10 such msans for the punish
ment of men who gave him hearty
support in his election, and who are
disposed to give him the same support
now-for the offense OF having had q
former preference for some one else
for the office which he now holds.
Bnt Garfield is President, and is re.
sponsibIe for all the acts OF the admin
istration. Conkling and Platt are tho
chosen Senators from the great State
Of New York, and thai, too, against
all the opposition of an Administra-
ton created by the. same, party that
elected them. This should give them
all the stronger claim 10 be consulted
in the matter of appointments in their
State. When 1t comes to filling the
most influential office in the State
without consulting these Senators, il
is great slight. When be selects the
most Offensive man to be found, it be-
comes an insult, and ought 10 be re-
sented to the bitter end. i sincerely
hope the President will see this, aud
correct Lis mistake himself, and restore
harmony to the party. HE owes this
to himself and to those without whom
he could not have been elected. No
body believes that he conId have car
risd the State OF New Yoik without
the active support of her present Sem
ators. Their passive support would
not have answered! Without the
State of New York General Garfield
would not now be President. His re.
warding Robertson is not only offens-
i've to the New York Senators, but il
is offensive to the New York Repub-
licans. f...- ,-... -.,f -
The change of Bsdeau and Cramer,
the two appointments in which felt
strong personal interest, was very dis
tasteful TO me; the fret, because of
our personal relations and my wish
that he should be kept where hts Office
would support him until he finishes
some work he IL engaged upon, and

music during the pleasant evenings of
late for, after SO many months of cold
unpleasant weather, it seems to inspire
everybody with pleasant feelings to be
enabled to enjoy outdoor air comfort
ably. With first rate Cornet Band,
and String Band, Glee Club, Church
Choir, several pianos all engaged at
the same time, in different localities in
our place, and the intel val, if any,
filled blythe energetic Whip-poor-will,
the air seems filled with music till the
ear is satiated.
Within the last few days a row of
naples has been planted on the street
leading south. Every year more or
less of these splendid trees are planted
along our highways, and in a short

Davenport convulsed a good sized
audience with his pleasantries one eye-
ming last week. 1t is sixteen years
since he was last here, but it is hoped
he will shol ten the interval in the fu-
future.
A week ago last Sunday night there
were several victims of misplaced con-
fidence in this place. for while they
sweetly aud soundly slept in the fullest
confidence of safety and security, they
were relieved of all visible va'uables,
or the representative thereof. The
bold burglar,
Like the wolf had come down on the fold.
And his pockets he filled with paper and gold.
and his victims were ignorant of their
loss until discovered by accident. Mrs.
Buckingham's house was entered and
several dollars taken from a bureau
drawer. c. Young was relieved of
fifteen dollars in money and q pocket
knife. The money wa taken from a
pocketbook in h;s pants pocket. The
thief examined the pocketbook at his
leisure, IulIy realizing that under no
circumstances, would any objection be
raised as to his right to do SO, as he was
in the presence of u Christian gentle
man, 80 profoundly engaged with
the god Morpheus, that the small
amount Of filthy trash he was getting
would not attract attentiOn--at least
until necessity required it. He dss.
turbed no papers, and replaced the
pock in the pants pocket. AT
DIR. StanhOpe's the thief took lunch,
but so quietly and SO modestly that his
presence wss unknown until Mrs.
Stanhope prepsred breakfast. Thus
had the DIR. and his wife entertained
an angel unawares. q. 7.
That the visitor was a Republican
there can be no doubt, as the skillIul
manner in which he did his work,
shows him high up in party discipline.
And then he stole the Democratic
Press from Young, which is evidence
that he wanted to know what the op-
posite pal ty said of him. From this
fact also the victims are confident that
their money will be returned to them,
rs the moral instruction he will derive
from perusing it will, without doubt,
lead him into the Democratic fold,
and he will sin no more. Perhaps he
will subscribe for the Press if he does
send him two copies, and great will be
your reward.
The Duke Of Argyle, after several
weeks absence, has returned and re-
sumed the reins once more. There
will be consequently no collision of the

We cheeriully comply, and give OR
readers the benefit OF the foregoing
rather unique political manifesto. We
presume, however, that it is addressed
more particularly TO the hitherto Re
publican supporters Of Mr.. Foster,
since Democrats do not need scrip
turai advice in making up their minds
on the question referred to. Every
Democratic voter in Ohio is fully per-
suaded that Charley Foster is NOT his
choice for Governor, and, therefore, to
cite scriptural reasons why he should
not vote for him. is entirely superfu-
GUS. We are aware that Republican,,
as a general thing, regard the Bible As
q book somewhat obsolete, and many
may net possess copy, and for the
benefit of these we have taken the
trouble to look up the texts referred
to, and quote them here. Charley
Foster is hale fellow. well met in

ton, and the voter is referred to Jere-
miah xiii, q, which reads: Z t'-i# ''is
