George Jones and the Grant Fund.
IOkhe Editor OF The Ereninl UritIc.

Tho revelations made by jay Gould, as re-
counted In THE CRITIC OF yesterday, In regard
TO the Grant Fund, and the connection of
George Jones, OF the New York Times, there
with, are simply astounding As read, It Is
very doubtful II General Grant ever received
the fund contributed by those who are grate
ful for his great services TO our country; or, II
he received part, he has not received all OF
It. The account between Jones, the con-
tributors OF tho fund and General Grant has
never been stated TO, or audited by, anybody.
SO far as the public can learn General Grant
would never say anything aboutit; It is too
delicate subject for him to SPEAK OF In pub
lie. But others may speak without hesitation,
and somebody should speak out, and should
not speak "with bated BREATH" but should
give all the facts, 30 that the public may know
what the real state OF the case is. II Jones has
been using the name OF u s. Grant to MI his
own pockets with 1t is timo the American peo-
pie should know It. Give us the facts.
GRANT REPUBLICAN.
THE facts, briefly stated, are that George
Jones, chief stockholder and editor OF the
New York Times, collected s250,000 from Jay
Gould and others ostensibly as a fund for Con
eral Grant. This fund has never been ac
counted for either In whole or in part.-Ed

A CINCINNATI Republican interviewed
by Sun correspondent predicts the election
of ex-President r. B. Hayes to the Senate
as the outcome of the quarrel between the
Hon. John Sherman and Governor Foster,
and adds:
''shermnn Is not tho only man who is seek
ing revenge in Ohio" said another Repub'
Iican to-day. "Amor Smith 70 not entirely
satisfied yet."
SHOW Is that?"
"well, Tom Young and Dutterworth turned
Smith out OF the Internal Revenue enice
Smith took his revenge out on Young by defeat
ing him for tho nomination. Do not be sur
prised II you nnd that he has knitted Butter
worth In the election"
While Amor Smith is whetting his knife
for Ben" Butterworths scalp, hadn't he
better look out lest he at the same time
sharpens "Tom" Young's scalping knife?

THE New York Tribune is greatly exer-
cised because certain churches permit un-
dertakers to nail their signs on the church
walls. 1t pertinently asserts that "the
union of church and trade is certainly as
reprehensible as the union of church and
state" There certainly are no better
reasons for granting this privilege to under
takers than to any other tradesmen, milli-
ners and tailors for instance, who supply
wedding garments or baby clothes.

greatly encourage their naturally fcroclous
and bloodthirsty dispositions. That the
colorod people arc naturally savage and
murdorous raco Is demonstrated by tho way
they rioted and killed their masters
wives and children during the
war, when tho great majority Of
tho able-bodicd whites were of fighting to
continue tho bondage of the blacks. Tho
awful conduct of the colorcd slaves during
the rebellion gives credencc and confrma-
tion to the tales VIC now hear ofhis melting
riots and mobs, forcing the whites every
election year to kill few dozen blacks in
order that there may be quiet, peaceful
and fair election and an honest count. 1t
Is so hard for the whites to maintain their
rights in the face of the opposition of the
blacks, who evidently are seized with tho
belief that white men have no rights black
men arc bound to respect, that the poor,
downtrodden white men are compelled to
murder some dozens or hundreds of blacks
according to the exigencies of the occasion
every election year. Really the blacks
should strive to subduc their ferocity to
the end that they may pass through an
election without being killed. All they've
got to do to secure peace and quiet is to
vote the same ticket the whites do, or else
refrain from voting, and all will be lovely !;
peace and quiet will reign the same kind
of peace that once reigned at Warsaw and
If anybody has got to be killed, the whites
will fall to shooting one another.

THE CRITIC feels it its duty to commend
the example Of the Messrs. Langsburgh in
giving to Washington the entire benefit of
the money expended in the erection of
their magnificent new business house.
Everything entering into its construction
was purchased in this city, and the labor,
even to the construction of the splendid
showcases, was done by Washington me-
chanics. This is proof incontrovertible that
it is not necessary to go away from home to
spend money, for finer or moro perfect
building cannot be found even in New
York than this monument to Washington
pluck and enterprise. Let everybody fol-
low the example of the Messrs. Lansburgh
and we will hear no more about dull bust
ness and hard times.

A GENTLEMAN who writes from the Windsor
Hotel desires us to answer this question:
"If lady agrees 10 become the wife OF a
man for 1ve years, and signs legal papers TO
that effect, can she hold the man after the i've
years."
No lady can agree TO become tho wife OF n
man for Ave years or for any other limited
time. Matrimony is n contract which is III
ways for life. Moreover, the signing of legal
papers by the lady In question would not hold
the man unless he also signs them, since 1t
takes persons own signature TO bind the
person.
Under tho law OF this State IL q couple ap-
pear In public as man and wife, processing to
be such, and II they are known In the com.
munity as such, that fact is prcsumptlve evil
dence of a legal marriage, whether any writ.
ten contract has passed between them or not.
We arc surprised that the idea Of q Ave.
years marriage should bo entertained by any
intelligent inmate OF the Windsor Hotel.-Ne,O

stoned by his peculiar ideas about marriage

1t is long lane that has no'turn, says
the old proverb.
The New York Sun for years has been
exceedingly fond Of attributing the very
worst motives to public men when their
acts or opinions were not such as coincided
with its own. 1t has never been able to see
any reason or excuse for public men, whose
public acts did not happen to meet with
its approval, but has, on the contrary, been
remarkably ready to ascribe improper or
corrupt motives for such actions. Con-
Quoted with signal ability and pandoring
to a certain morbid taste, the SUl has

extensive crop of lies, innuendoes and
insinuations, all of which join with great
unanimity and alacrity in ascribing the
action Of the Sun to very questionable
motives. The baldest untruth, perhaps, is
the one just quoted from the st. Louis
Post-Dispatch, and is a very brief and broad
departure from the truth. 1t is so sweeping
