GRANT, ARTHUR AND BLAINE.
Amicable Relations Prevail Between the
Distinguished Gentlemen.

New YORK, APRIL 1S.-General Grant said to
a correspondent, who called on him at his resi-
dence, that the paragraph copied in the Herald
of Monday, from Washington letter, and rep
resenting that he left the capital without re-
turning President Arthur's call, did him an in
Justice. as it was the evident intention of the
writer to convey the impression that he (Gen.
Grant, and the President are not on friendly
terms 1.-THE fact is" continued the General,
THAT soon after my arrival President Arthur
called on me and stayed fully half an hour. I
told him at the time that would not be able to
return in person, because of the difficulty ex
perienced through my lameness in getting up
and down stairs and that for the same
reason l would not do any visiting at all
during my stay 1t is true that one morning
walked over, for the exercise, to see General
Beale, at whose house / have often stayed while
in Washington. and on another occasion | drove
up to see General Sheridan but with these ex-
ceptions | never entered house while was in
Washington. But soon after his call, in com
pany with Mrs. Grant who was visited by Presl-
dent Arthurs sister, and who afterwards lunched
with her, I drove to President Arthur's and sent
in my card and did the same again shortly be
fore my leaving Washington. | also acted in
precisely the same manner towards Mr.. Blaine
who likewise called on me soon after my arrival
Nv personal relations with President Arthur are
nature, though he is by no means my choice for
the presidency"
General Grant is looking quite we'll. He says
he has so far recovered from the injury to his leg
as not to suffer any pain from it at all except
through wrench sudden movement. AT
times he is able to walk about without his
crutches, but at other times he is compelled to
use them.

SOUTH CAROLINA ELECTION CASES.
The Governments Attorney Asks that All
Pending Charges Be Dismissed

CHARLESTON, S. c., April 18-In the United
States Circuit Court to-day, District Attorney
Melton moved to discontinue all cases on the
docket involving charges of violation of the
election laws of the United States. The mo-
ton was granted by Judge Bond without com
ment and all the cases were stricken from the
docket. In making the motion Melton said that
when he came into office he found about 200
cases on the dockets. Realizing that all could
not be tried, he obtained permission from the
Department of Justice to select the most serious
and discontinue the others The result
of the trials was one conviction and one
plea of guilty, the other cases resulting in mis-
trials. The second trials again resulted in mis-
trials. Being thoroughly convinced that in the
present state of public sentiment convictions
were impossible in these cases, he had so in
formed the Attorney general, and had received
from him a letter directing him TO use his discre
ton in the matter, hence the motion that the
cases be discontinued.
Ex-judge Magrath counsel for the defendants,
denied very emphatically that corrections failed
in consequence of the influence of public senti-
ment He asserted that the failure was be-
cause in case proposed by the District
attorney for trial. had there been sufficient
evidence upon which to base conviction, even
had the judge been sitting without jury

NEwBURG N. Y, April 18.-In the African
Methodist Episcopal Conference to-day, Rev. 7.
G. Harper resigned from the denomination. He
did not like this country and said it was only
free in theory. He spoke of the caste spirit and
the ostracism of colored men. He was called
here from his native country, British Guinea, to
become professor in Centenary College, New
Jersey, but, owing to his color, his services were
dispensed with. He said he would enter the
Protestant Episcopal Church, receive ordination
and return to British Guinea. The British
were moro liberal. He added that all knew that
in many things colored gentlemen were not
rightly treated at the South, not being allowed
decent accommodation in the cars.
