This administration is certainly one of
surprises. Sensations follow fast ueon the
heels of each other. The latest is the res
ignation of the New York Senators. Why
those gentlemen have returned to the hands
of its gvers the trust corfided to them by
the people Of New York is not clear; and
until we have heard their reasons for the
extraordinary course they have taken we
hesitate to pass judgment upon them. In
the lig't we now have it looks like a bad
case OF the pouts. Two boys, one big and
one little, are dissatisfied with the way in
which their comrades play the game. and
so refuse to play any longer and want to go
home.
There may be good reasons for the resig-
nations Of Senators Conkling and Platt.

General Badeau's military Biography Of
Ulysses S. Grant," is at last finished An
account of the concluding volumes is
printed in another column. General Gran.
has been fortunate in his biographer. His
mil tary secretary manifests an ardent sensi-
bility to the merits of the great soldier of the
Civil War, but shows calm judgment and
capacious knowledge in treating of the sue
cesses and failures, the mistakes fortunate
and unfortunate, the prominent accidents
and incidents of the great conflict His ad-
miration for his chief does not blind him to
a generous recognition OF the achievements
of Grants subordinates in the fight To
Sherman he gives credit for a daring and an
ingenuity not seen on the field since the
Napoleonic era. For Hancock bis praise is
unstinted. And Phil Sheridans good gen.
eralship and gallant impetuosity excite ad-
miring praise. To other worthy command
ers he is notless just. Nor does he hesitate
to condemn those who proved themselves
unworthy of or unequal to the task put up
edge and wide Information. His attitude is
that of the historian, not of the p,rtisar
And his work must be held as the most val
liable contribution yet made to the military
history of the Rebellion.
The first volume of General Badeau's
work had in many respects more interest
for the West than for us Eastern people.
The second and the third command the
lively attention, will provoke the criticism,
and for the most part win the acquiescence
of two great armies. The veterans of the
army of the Potomac and the army of
Nor thern Virginia will feel their hearts
"moved more than with a trumpet" as they
read the recital of the great deeds done by
them in the sad days of the Civil War. To
us striplings those times are tale, not an
experience: But the story of the dee,ls of
our elders will excite our warmest interest
as long as the war for the salvation of the
Union is remembered by men, or the Union
itself dear to their hearts.
THE Springfield Union encourages Secre-
tary Biaine's scheme Of penny postage.
Speaking of the proposition for the use of a
five-cent instant delivery stamp, it says:
These stamps would entitle the letters bear
ing them to instant delivery by special car
riers as soon as they were received at the
post office. That service would be enter
prising but it would involve quite force of
special carriers to carry it ont promptly, and
it would have no value unless it were done
with the greatest promptitude. Suppose the
be tried first. If the Government can afford
to make rostal cards and carry them through
the mails at one cent each it certainly can
afford to carry letters at two cents.

THE LOSSES OF THE CAMPAIGN.

From the Sth to the 2lst of May the total
losses of Gen. Grant were 1861, of which q
279 were killed. Lees losses are not given by
Gen. Badeau, although among the captures
made by Grant were 1000 prisoners aud twen-
ty guns 1t is a fair presumption tina. the
killed and wounded in the Confederate army
equaled the loss of the Federal army. The
fact however, that this famous Wilderness
campaign, which inflicted a fatal blow Oh the
Confederacy, only cost 1851 men is remark
able statement and puts an end TO the stories
which have been generally accepted for the
last fifteen years, that Grants losses were 50,-
900 or 80 900 at least.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1881-05-17

contrary, his military efforts "ware thwarted
for political or personal reasons" On the con-
trary, he wrote to Mr.. Lincoln on May 1, 1861:
II have been astonished at the readiness with
which everything asked for has been yielded,
without even all examination being asked"
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1881-05-17


Gen. Badeau dwells at length on the numer-
cal strength of the two armies in this cam
pagn, about which there has been SO wide a
misapprehension. When Gen. Grant left Gull
peper he had 10000 effective soldiers, Gen.
Lee between 10000 aud $4,000. Before the 4th
of June Grant received 10000 reinforcemen:s,
Lee not fewer than $1,000. During the whole
campaign Grants loss was 59001 OF whom g.
800 were killed and 5000 wounded. Ten. Ba-
deau comDares these losses to other wars, and
shows that the results which Ger. Grant OBJ
tanned were at II less stcrioe of life than SINH
lar campaigns in history, recalling th fact
that at Aspern the French lost 10000, the Aus
trans $4,000; at Borodino the French lost 50,-
600, the Russians 1900; at Waterloo the
French loss was &C, 900 men, that of the allies,
1866; at Gravelotte the French lost IL 000, the
Germans 1900; ut Sedan the French lost 49,
600, the Germans $500. During the seven
days in the Peninsula the \ ,tiusial losses we're
9,14S; at Antietam, 9.i9l ut Charlottesville,
9,993; at Vicksburg, II ,29l; at Gettysburg, 49,

Grant regarded the result of the campaign as
q virtual success over Lees army. Lie had con-
quered the spirit Of the a .versary, and the on
ly question was to force him to surrender.
There is a sketch of the disastrous attack on
Cold Harbor, one of the caases of which-ls at
tributed TO Warrens opening with artillery in
stead of attacking in force. This whole move
ment annoyed Grant; in fact, the only General
who seems to have shown enterprise and abili-
ty in the movement was Hancock. Gen. Ba-
deau gives Gen. Lee high praise Tor his man
agement of the Cold Harbor movement "Lee
watched his anita agonist as closely, as warly as
one wild beast does another before the final
spring. He followed the movements of his ,.d-
versary skillfully he put forth his whole force;
he thwarted many of Grants attempts, but, as
usual, he left every great aggressive opportun-
ty unused" What Lee hoped for after this
campaign, according to Gen. Badeau, was ''to
hold Graut off as long as possible, to tire out,
if neither him r.or his army perhaps the coun-
try at the North, relying on the probability of
English or French interference in favor of the
Rebellion and the efforts of the Democratic
party in his behalf"

The Remarkable Escape of a Young
Lady on Orange Mountain.

A party of young ladies started from
Orange, n. j., on Saturday Afternoon,
for a ramble on the summit of the
Orange Mountain. They visited Eagle
Rock, the highest and most romantic
spot on the mountain. Miss Ella Dean,
II years old, daughter of Mr.. Horace
J. Dean, builder on Hillyer street,
Orange sat down on part of the rock
that projects over the valley below
The others were afraid to sit in such a
dangerous place, and they took ram
BILE in the woods. Suddenly they saw
Miss Dean rise wheel about, and disap-
pear over the edge of the rock. Two
of the ladies tainted, but the rest Of the
party ran to ascertain the fate of their
companion. To their surprise she stood
on the green sward eighty feet below
them, waving her handkerchief and
shouting that she was all right. A
minute afterward she became faint. In
falling, she had struck on her head on
the earth twenty feet below the spot
where she had been sitting. Then she
rolled over and fell as many feet further,
fnally landing at the base of the rock.
A cash four inches long was cut on her
head She was taken to her home in a
carriage and phyeician was called.
Besides the injury to her head, she sus-
tanned several bruises on the limbs and
body.

A Lady biologists Boxes.
New ork Sun.

Among the baggage taken from a
train at the Pennsylvania Railroad de-
pot yesterday morning were number
of cage-like boxes, the property of a
lady zoologist, who had just returned
from the South. A nervous old gen
gleman who happened to pass the
boxes when they were deposited upon
the platform turned pale and hurried
away when he heard loud chatterlng,
followed by hideous laugh, coming
from one of the boxes. The noise at
tracted crowd around the boxes. In
the first box was large ape, which
grinned at the visitors and chartered
loudly. AS the crowd gathered close
he became more loquacious. The next
box contained thirteen small alligators.
which wriggled their tails and winked
upon being disturbed. In another box
we're two cockatoos, and the next box
mad an Australian laughing bird, which
greatly amused the crowd. Another
box marked snakes" was avoided by
the visitors.
