Grant Supports COnkling.

An interview with General Grant at New Or
leans is thus reported: 1.-THE press and some
people, Governor Young OF Ohio, for instance,
seem to think that should abandon the right
which every American citizen may exercise to
speak his mind on public concerns and the politi-
cal affairs Of the country. The papers abuse me
when give vent to my views ON public matters,
which, however, shall continue to express when
ever | think proper just like any other private
citizen. My opinion about this Conkling affair IL
fully given In the letter wrote to Senator Jones
Of Nevada, as soon as heard OF the way Conk
ling was being dealt with. He has been shame
fully treated, sir, and for no cause whatsoever
that can discover. What has he done or said to
call forth this personal abuse? Did Conkling
make mistake 10 resigning? Certainly not, sir.
1t was the proper thing for him to do after such
treatment. am inclined to think that most Of
these uncalled-for attacks on Conkling, this gen.
eral abuse, have been instigated by white house
influence, but can't say that Mr. Garfield him
urged on the attack. He certainly should be re-
elected, as a vindication Of his COURSE and would
be II had anything to do with It, have already
expressed my opinion publicly in regard to the
presidents course toward Conkling, as certainly
thought had a right to do This Is all intend
to do about it. am not even going to New York
directly, but will take trip first to st. Louis,
then to Galena and Chicago remaining day or

pected at West Point June 10TH but it is scarcely

Sharp Practice.

A correspondent of the New York Tribune,
who is travelling through the south, tells
some things in regard to the mode of deal
ing used by drummers from the north
towards the poor whites and negroes which,
if true, gives ample ground for the assertion
made by southern people that there is a
great deal of what the Chinaman would call
"talkee, talkee up here, but when philan-
thropy comes in conflict with the counting
up of dollars the former is the loser. The
following modus operandi of their business
dealings with these people will show what
is meant They make an agreement in the
winter with negro or white laborer to "run"
him for the season, that is, the dealer is to
furnish all the provisions and supplies for
spring, summer and autumn on credit, TO be
paid for out of the crop when gathered.
While the crop is growing the merchant or
his agent keeps careful watch over that of
each man whom he "runs," and these may
count up to fifty or one hundred. OF course
he can estimate pretty nearly what will be
INC ptOuuCt, 30 Jndt WIleu ihll COIues ue IL
ready to make his calculations. Having
kept an account of everything furnished, he
can go over his books and arrange the price
according to the purchasers crop, and thus
take exactly the whole, leaving the laborel
absolutely penniless. OF course this charge
does not include all dealers, but such prac
tices are common enough now and growing
so in frequency as to be the cause of much
i'll feeling. 1t may be said that there are al
ways enough to take advantage Of ignorance
and if the south took greater interest in
popular education, so that negros aud whites
were more intelligent, they could not &c
easily be overreached. That may be true
but it does not make it any less certain tina
the fact of most of these so-called "mer
chants" being from the north has strong
tendency to intensity the antagonism be
tween the sections.

No MORE OF THE "WEED."-Secretar
Lincoln Of the war department at Wash
ington has, by order, prohibited the use
of tobacco by the cadets of the military
academy at West Point. In this we doubt
not he has done wisely and periodically.
The use Of tobacco is highly injurious, es-
pecially to boys and young men. 1t results
in a loss of vigor of body and mind and
morals, clearly perceptible to those who OBJ
serve its effects for any considerable time.
This is conceded by competent physicians
and teachers who have observed carefully its
effects on body and mind. II soon renders
its use has been for some considerable time
prohibited in the best schools of Paris.
Some of the best teachers in our country
also forbid its use among their pupils, both
because it Is an expensive foolish habit, and
more because it tends to deprave both mind
and morals. We would justify It's Danish
ment from the schools of the state. Inas.
much as the government requires men vigor-
GUS in mind and body for army officers and
the state no less for citizens, it has a right
TO enforce regulations to secure these. The
government has the same right and interest
to forbid the use of tobacco in its schools
that 1t has to forbid the sale of Intoxicating
liquors at its military posts and stations
However unpopular the secretary's order
may be among the cadets at West Point
four-6fths OF whom are said to use tobacco
we believe that the best judgment of oul
citizens throughout the country will sustain
him in this order.

TURNING BACK THE YEARs.-We take the fol-
lowing extract from Governor Longs Decoration
day address at Boston: " As the dawn ushers 1t
in, tinged already with the exquisite flush Of
Fastening June, and sweet with the bursting fra
GRANGE OF her roses, the wheels Of time will each
year roll back, and 10 John Andrew is at the
state-house, inspiring Massachusetts, with the
throbbing OF his own great heart; Abraham Lin
coin, wise and patient and honest and tender and
true, is at the nations helm; the north is one
broad blaze; the boys in blue are marching to the
'front.' the fife and drum are on every breeze; the
very air is patriotism; Phil Sheridan, the twenty
miles away, dashes back to turn defeat to victory;
Farragut dashed to the masthead, is steaming
into Mobile harbor; Hooker Is above the clouds,
aye now indeed above the clouds; Sherman
marches through Georgia to the sea; Grant has
throttled Lee with the grip that never lets go;
Richmond falls; the armies Of the republic pass
In that last great review at Washington Custer s
plume is there, but Kearney's saddle Is empty
and, now again, our veterans come marching
home to receive the welcome of a grateful people,
and 10 stack In Doric hall the tattered flags which
Massachusetts forever hence shall wear above her

ingalls, on Garfield.


Senator Ingalls, In an interview published In
the Leavenworth (Kansas) Times says of Presi-
dent Garfield: 81 have known General Garfield
for nearly twenty-five years. We were at college
together, and our acquaintance has continued
with more or less intimacy up to the present time.
His nature Ia ardent, emotional and impulsive;
his instincts are generous and sincere he is inca
pable OF meanness treachery or hatred Intellectu-
ally he is the best equipped president we have
had since the days Of the younger Adams He
has great fondpess for literature, reads great
deal and Is thorough student He has many
characteristics that are essentially feminine In the
best and not the worst sense Of that term, and
those who know him best are most thoroughly
convinced that in all his administration he has
been actuated by what he believed to be for the
best interests OF the republican party and the pub.
lie service. In saying that many OF his character
stics were feminine mean that there has been
about his character certain infirmity Of purpose

General Malone.

General Malone was greeted with "thun-
dering ovation at the convention of the
reajusters in Richmond. When the huzzas,
the waving of hats, fans and handkerchiefs
had subsidized SO the general could be heard,
he spoke as follows:
" greet you, my friends and felow-citizens,
with my most earnest compliments, and beg to
assure you Of the supreme qualification which
have at the assemblage Of my fellow-citizens. It
fills the measure OF my loyal ambition to this
people and to this state 1t testies TO me- In words
OF warmth which I will never forget, your APP
prova Of my public conduct. 1t douby assures
me that there exists yet in the bosoms OF this
people a true devotion to Jeffersonan principles

this state in their might and sovereign power are
here to say to the states Of this union that vir-
gna is to be put in cordial relations with the gov

and that of her people to be IDENTICAL aud that
her march is to be for freedom and progress In

is to rule in all matters which relate to men. You
sent to the national capitol your representa-
tive, chosen without solicitation on my part ex-
cept the personal responsibility Of an earnest de-
votion to serve this people wherever they saw fit to
put me- No sooner was called to the capitol to
answer for you than the policy Of terrorism was
put in practice to silence your representative.

that was there to voice the manhood OF this
people, there to oppose democratic bourbonism
which attempted to dictate to the djuster party
Of this state, and that | was not there to do the
bidding Of men claiming to be the democratic

You are here to give effect to equal rights, free
ballot and an honest count to maintain economy
in the state government and support the present
system Of public education. You are here to say
to your representatives in congress that they must
represent the true interests Of the people OF this
state, and not represent democratic bourbon
caucus. You are here to free these people from
bourbon domination and to lift the blight Of bour-
bon democracy which has set in upon u.s. You
are to restore to the old state and her people the
most cordial relations with all the people OF our
common country, and put an end to sectional con-
tests and obliterate race distinctions General
Malone concluded by urging harmony, and that
to whomsoever they gave their banner they should
stand to him to a man in the great fight which is
to be waged for their freedom and the freedom OF
their posterity.
The general was frequently greeted with
applause which at times interrupted the
delivery Of the speech, and at its close he
was the recipient of another grand out
burst of enthusiasm. A resolution endors-
ing his course in the United States senate
was unanimously adopted.

The celebration of Decoration Day at
Harper's Ferry, Virginia, was striking
event, this year Frederick Douglass deliv-
cred a eulogy on John Brown, one Of the
most eloquent productions ever heard from
him. He was respectfully listened to by a
large crowd Of Virginia and Maryland peo.
pie, and among those who stopped to con-
graduate him for the success of his speech
was General Hunter, who, as states attorney,
successfully prosecuted Brown. A fugitive
slave, holding high federal office, was in
yited to praise the agitator, who for his anti
slavery doctrines was hanged near that spot
only twenty-five years before, and with the
applause, perhaps, of the very men who now
formed his audience.

Teas in Our Market.

AS is well known, the department of ag-
riculture is making great effort to have
tea cultivated in this country, and with
strong probability of success. In California
the plant Aourishes admirably, and there is
no doubt but that it will elsewhere in the
southern states. The next thing of impor-
lance is to have it well cured, and without
the adulterating and coloring which is en-
ployed in China and Japan, and which so
materially Injuries that brought to this coun-
try. In the last consular report published
by the government, the United States con-
sui at Hiogo, Japan, gives some facts in re-
gard to the coloring of teas which are of
considerable interest. He says that formerly
the Japanese prepared the teas for imp orta-
ton to this country just as they did for
home use, the only manipulation beside be-
ing a process of "reiring," which was
necessary to enable them to retain their
qualities through transportation and while
in store. 1t required considerable outlay,
but the result was an improvement to the
leaf, while it was really aud honestly " I'M
colored." Strange to say, consumers in this
country and England began to call for a
higher color, and in the end, Japanese ship
pers, much against their will, were obliged
to resort to artificial methods to produce the
desired appearance. The materials used
for the purpose, the consul says, are usually
nothing worse than indigo and gypsum, but
while these are not absolutely pernicious,
perhaps, they diminish the excellence of the
tea while increasing its cost. The japanese
themselves consider the leaves as prepared
for the American market an abomination,
and, looking upon it in that way, regard the
quality of what must be subjected to such
treatment as not important. This accounts
for the deterioration of the crop, which has
been gradual but continuous ever since the
coloring process was begun. If consumers
would select teas according to their strength
and excellence and not according to their
color, an improved quality would be again
brought into the market from Japan, and at
lower prices. This, too, would have ten
dency to check the authorizations and color
ing in China, and bring the finer leaves in
stead of so much that is coarse for the gen.
eral use of the people. A cup of tea would
not be so often the abomination that it is
now, even when it is carefully prepared.

PHILADELPHIA Press: "Mr. Conkling's
enemies could never have brought him to
such sorry pass. He was too strongly en-
trenched to be dislodged by any ordinary
political attack, even with all the weapons
of patronage turned against him. There
was no evidence of any disposition to cripple
him, and even if there had been it would
have been impotent without the most
amazing faulty and perverseness on his
own part His defeat comes from his blind
and stolid defiance of popular sentiment"

WoRLD's FArR.-Another large and en-
thusiastic meeting of the "Solid men of
Boston " has been held to consider further
the scheme of holding worlds fair in that
city in 1885. The sentiment was all in favor
of the fair, but spirit of caution prevailed,
and the question, for the purpose of more
full and deliberate investigation of all the
matters relating to it, was put into the
hands of large committee whose report
will be awaited before the city finally com
mits itself to the project. The railroads
centering in Boston and many private in,

contribute literally to the contingent fund
required.

JEFFERSON DAVIS was much pleased and
touched by the friendly fashion in which
citizens of Chicago greeted him on the
streets the other day. General w. c. Wright,
an old classmate at West Point, says Mr.
Davis is perfectly content and satisfied with
the result of the war, and wouldn't have
slavery restored if every negro in the south
would beg TO have the old conditions re-
newed. General Wright says also that Mr.
Davis is very poor man. He has leased
his plantation to his old slaves, who never
make more than living from it.
