LETTER FROM NEW YORK.
neutrality-suspicious. fthe Monitor.l
Neao York, Apr7, 2.
The two American Ex-Presidents,
now that the furry of the Vanderbilt
ball is over, are engrossing the atten-
ton of the world of business and
society. Grant and Diaz are visit
ing the various exchanges, taking
luncheon at Delmonico's and this
evening Mexico is being honored in
the person of her representative by
a dinner at the Union League Club,
at the exclusive expense of their own
Ex-President. The latter is chap
eroning his friend and guest with
that bulldog pertinacity which char
acterizes all of the old warriors
doings. He did not 90 to the rail-
road depot to meet Diaz, but hardly
had the latter taken off his overcoat
at the Windsor, when Grant called,
took possession of the Mexican and
all of his movements, laid out a
programme for him, which did not
give living soul a chance to pat
ronize the newcomer during his stay
in New York, and ever since Grant
has stuck to him with that same per-
severance with which he hung on to
Lees TANKS in 1865. And no won
der, if all is true of what I hear about
the Mexican commercial prospects
which Grant has in view, he, indeed,
has bonanza which he does not
care to share with any other fellow
in the street. One thing is sure: of
which any one can convince himself
by going to Pier No. 3, whenever a
Vera Cruz steamer is loading; never
before in our history have so many
wheelbarrows, carts trucks, axes,
spades and other implements been
shipped from this port to one single
point as are now leaving here steadi-
ly for Mexico. Indeed, l begin to
believe that Grant will yet live to be
the real conqueror of Mexico, so far
as opening grand market for oul
manufactured products is concerned.
The next sensation for which all
New York, the whole of Brooklyn,
and in fact the entire suburbs is pre-.
pairing is the prospective opening Of
the great bridge. Now that this
great engineering work is nearly
completed, we all acknowledge it t.
be big thing. Even Chicago would
say SO, if it had one of its own like
it. 1t is intended to open the con
Meeting link between the two larges
cities on this continent with all thu
pomp and circumstance when New
York, always with the exception o
Chicago, of course, knows so vel
how to manage. The veterans com
posing the Grand Army of the Re
public are endeavoring to have th
great celebration postponed till Ma,
80, Decoration Day, when the pro
cession will move across the bridg
to the various cemeteries, but reall
the bridge can be got ready for trav
ell and traffic in two or three weeks
and the trustees are anxious to thro,
it open 10 the public. There will b
no toll for foot passengers, bu
beasts of burden, of which there al
a goodly number round about here
will be compelled to pay their tribut
: in the shape of few coppers.
Our Hibernian fellow citizens, VIII

not generally known is, that quarter
