GarfieId's Letter to Grant.
NEW YORK, June 24.-The Long Branch
special to the Tribune says: Grant has not
yet called upon Garfield. A good deal Of
curiosity is felt to see whether he will al
low his d%isapproval Of the appointment Of
a man as Collector of New York, who did
not vote for him at Chicago, to keep him
from calling on the President. Thus far
he has made no sign of performing the So
cial duty which he owe to his own posi-
ton, as well as that of the President.
Some personal friends say that he will call
before the President takes his departure.
As to the correspondence which passed be-
tween Grant and Garfield after Robertson's
nomination, it may be said on good au-
thority that if Grant wishes to publish it,
there will be no objection on the other side.
The Presidents letter, which is said to
have been very quiet and digniied in tone,
elected no reply from Grant. 1t seemed
to have closed effectually the argument.
People who have seen. both letters say their
publication would produce q fresh political
discussion. Grants letter is known to be
quite similar to the one he wrote some
time since to Senator Jones, and the Presi-
dents reply is a calm assertion of his po-
sition with regard to Robertson's appoint
ment, accompanied with an expression of
personal regard for Grant, and the appre-
citation OF his services in the campaign,
and Of surprise that he should feel ag-
grieved because of the appointment Of a
single man in New York who did not belong
to the faction which supported him for the
nomination last year. There is Q rumor
that Grant is writing a rejoinder, but if be
is, he has not spoken of it to those close to
him in social and political relations.
Auditor French's Visit to the Pa
cI6e Coast.
NEW York, June 24.-The Times says
of Auditor French: Nothing is said off,
cially as yet about the results Of his visit
to the Pacific Coast, but while in San Fran
cisco he saw fit to make q report to the
President of the Central Pacific Railroad
in which he gave assurance that he should
deem 1t his duty at an early day to COM
municate with the Attorney General Of the
United States, with o view to the discon-
tinuance Of the proceedings instituted
against that company in the Court Of the
United States for the Southern District OF
New York. This was q very extraordinary
proceeding, and IL is reported that the Gov
eminent is by no means satisfied with
French's course. As, whatever his conclu-
sions might be, and whatever occasion he
may have found for changing his opinion,
he should have reported the results Of his
investigation to the Government first, and
refrained from giving an assurance to a
corporation against which the Government
had occasion to bring suit for the enforce
ment Of its rights.
