GENERAL GRANT
Greatly Irritated Over the COnk.
ling Affair
ReafirmS His Letter to Senator
Jones.
No Truth In the JeweIry Story
Success I'm Mexico.

NEW YORK, June IA New Or
leans special says: General Grant is
greatly irritatsd over the Conklin2
affair, and eagerly reads all dispatches.
He says Conkling has been shameiully
treated and should be reelected to
the senate, He thinks the newspaper
abuse of Conkling is instigated by
White House influence, but not by
Garfield. He reaffirms his letter to
Senator Jones'. of Nevada, but will
take no hand in the fight. He pro-
nounces as untrue Governor Young's
statement Of his connection with the
United States National bank and
Marine bank, and says there is no
truth in the story about lost jewelry.
His mission to Mexico was also highly
successful. He got all the concessions
he wanted, the only opposition being
from rival subsidized railroads. Gen.
Grant will go to st. Louis, Galena and
Chicago after leaving here.

The Popular Judgment.

1t has been justly remark ed that the
popular judgment, deliberately made
up, is correct and reliable. 1t stamps
with its own peculiar seal whatever it
approves. The reputation which sur
wives its searching and critical tests is
established on a firm foundation.
The really meritorious article finds
favor at first, but slowly and with
many rebuffs; its inherent virtue con-
tinually asserts itself its elasticity
rebounds higher with every check
until it reaches the height of favor to
which it is entitled.
Burnett's Cocoaine for the hair and
Burnett's Standard Flavoring Ex-
tracts for cooking purposes are articles
in point. They have been before the
public many years; one by one they
acquired friends, then they counted
their hundreds; then their thousands.
Success created rivals; competition
assailed them, but their sterling mer-
its Yithstood all opposition, and the
popular verdict vas largely rendered
in their favor.
These, tcgethr with Burnett's
other Toilet Articles, are now house
hold words" and in household use
throughout the states and in many
foreign countries.
They are Of such admirable make as
to combine substance with elegance
the supply of a genuine want with an
appeal to the Imagination in the poetry
of their composition. And for these
reasons Burnett'S Preparations will
enjoy an ever-increasing sale, and an
ever Frightening reputation.

THE CHICKS AND PORTERS.
Some Talk Of Their Meeting in
Huntsville, After all.
A Hearty Welcome in store for
Them.
Huntsvillo Independent, 2d.I

Huntsville Independent, 2d.1
The Porter Rifles captured the grand
military prize in Nashville, last week,
over three crack companies. including
one from New 0rleanl. The Chick
asaw Guards, who were down on the
bills for a contest with the Porters in
Huntsville, one rainy June day Of
several years ago, were not psrtici-
pants in the contest at Nashville; so,
these two rival organizations have
never, since that memorable day of
failure i in Huntsville, measured
strength with each other. They
shouldered their guns and lett Hunts
vile, each company full of the thought
that it was superior to the other in all
the maneuvers of the company. But
the disputed superiority remains to
this day an unsolved problem. The
Chicks" have since then had tri-
umphal tour over the northwest,
conquering all contending arms.
The POrters, too, have had their
victories. and both companies are
to-day in fine feather, ready to en-.
counter the best in the land. We
have met, at different times, quite
number Of the members of the two
companies and they always expressed
themselves as desirous of Having
out" the original programme as ar
ranged to take place in Huntsville
several years ago. They thought, too,
in each instance, that they could not
afford to meet each other unless the
meeting took place in Huntsville,
where they had been so Hospitality
treated, and where they had disap-
pointed large, expectant crowd.
We are glad to learn that there is a
proposition to bring these companies
together again in Huntsville, to con-
tend for handsome prize. We can
assure them that our city will give
them hearty welcome. We will give
them splendid ball; we will show
them the loveliest daughters (their
own sweethearts elsewhere accepted)
and the most courteous sons that they
have seen since they were here before.
Ii they cannot arrange to meet earlier,
it would be splendid arrangement to
have them meet during our fall fair.
But we will not dictate the time. If
they will only come, we will leave the
time Of coming to them. Now, gen
tlemt n, let us hear from you.

Diam on dis in south Carolina.

SENECA CRY. s. c., May 28.-
There has been much excitement in
our community for the past few DAYS
caused by the discovery of diamonds
in an old gold mine. For years gold
mining has been carried on to a
greater or less extent in this vicinity
Some two or three years since Colonel
John Cochran mined quite extensive.
ly, with what success, was not gener-
ally known.
Some two weeks since Mr. joseph
Blanny, hailing from England, comes
to Seneca on his way from western
North Carolina, prospecting for mica,
and was induced to % down and look
around where Colonel Cochran had
been mining for gold. He went to
panning on a farm adjoining the Coch-
ran mine, and was rewarded by wash
ing out several diamonds. He sent
one of them to Tiffany & Co., of New
York, and one of their experts came
out and pronounced them genuine
straw cOlored diamonds, equal to the
African diamonds. Mr.. Blanny has
purchased 800 square feet from the
owners Of the land for $4,000, and pro-
poses to go regularly into the business,
not as a stock company, but OH his own
account

LONDON, June 3.-The Times con-
demns the governments inactivity in
Ireland.
President Grevy distinctly denies
that he authorized anybody to express
an opinion on the scrutin de liste bill
in his name. The ministers have re-
solved to stand neutral in the senate,
as they did in the chamber of deputies,
on that question.
1t is reported that all the mountain
tribes around Mateur and Tunis, have
submitted to the French.
LONDON, June 3.-The house of
commons adjourned over from the
4th to the 10th inst, for the Whit
suntide holidays, and the considera-
tion of the land bill in the commons
will be postponed from to night to the
18th inst.
The Earl of Camperdown has
been offered the governorship Of the
Madres Presidency.
DillOn's letter to the speaker Of the
house of commons, from the Kilmin
ham Jail, is published. Dillon inquiries
whether the question of privilege does
not arise on his arrest, and says the
chief secretary for Irel MI has read
his (Dillon's) speech. He declares
it did not afford justification for his
arrest. The speaker, in reply, says
that as Dillon's letter did not relate to
any matter Of privilege, he has not
thought it necessary to lay it before
the house.
The Daily Telegraph says: 1.-THE
government has received such serious
news from ireland within the last
few days that measures calculated to
deal with the exceptional state of
affairs there Is, we believe, engaging

Garfield for Two Termu

Special to the Courier JOurnal.l
WASHINGTON, June Last Feb
ruary, at time when talk and specu.
lation over the coming cabinet selec-
tions were rife, Senator Allison. of
Iowa, whose name was frequently
spoken OF in connection with the Sec
retaryship of the treasury, said to a
friend II do not think it would be
a proper thing for any man to accent
a cabinet position who would, from the
beginning OF the administration, be
opposed to a second term for Presi-
dent Garfield" During the same
month, one of the most prominent re
publicans of Missouri, a man of nation,
al reputation, had several conferences
with Mr.. Blaine, and he came from
those conferences thoroughly convinced
that the policy of the president and of
his secretary of state, from the begin.
ming and throughout the first term,
would beso shaped as to effect, if pos
sible, the denomination aud re election
Of General Garfield
There is every reason to believe that
this is the theory on which the admin
istration is now run. There can
scarcely be a doubt about it. The
frequent assumption that Blasne, as
the master spirit of the administra-
ton, is busily engaged in laying the
wires for his own nomination in 1884,
is plausible, but it is altogether fanci-
lul. The administration is to be a
Garfield second. term administration.
Nobody understands that better than
James G. Blaine and Roscoe Conk-
ling. Blaine acquiesces; Conkling
rebels.
