ORVlLLE GRANT.
His Wonderful Financial Scheme
Which Fell to the Ground.

There is one astounding incident, says
John Swinton's Paper, never yet told of
the two Grant brothers, the truth of
which is assured by incontrovertible ties.
timony. General Grant, as all the world
used to know, had a brother Orville, and
it was in Orville's store that Ulysses was
employed at the out break of the war.
When the nan to whom Orville once
paid his weekly wages became President
in Washington, Orville tried In many
ways to feather his nest through political
jobbery. There were numerous gross
scandals grew out of these jobs, as every
body who read the newspapers at that
time will recall, and the trancing of the
scandals in which Orville was a partner
always led straight to the white house.
General Grant was reelected for his
second term, which began in March of
1873. Orville then took part in a scheme
more ambitious and more startling than
any that he had ever before got hold of
"a scheme that involved nothing else
than the selling out of the United States
government for private profit. He came
to this city and sought out one Of his old
Galena friends, through whom he pro-
cured an introduction to q party whom
he believed to be able to render him the
peculiar service he required. Orville
Grant was anxious to enter into nego-
t~iations with ok. Governor E. D. Morgan,
the great banker Of Wall street, and so
pressing was he in his appeals that means
were taken to bring about a meeting be-
tween them. To reduce the transaction
to short terms, it turned out that Orville
sought to know whether in csse Presi-
dent Grant should nominate Governor
Morgan to the office of Secre-
tary of the Treasury at
the opening of his then approaching
second term he (Morgan) would enter
into a stipulation to appoint OrvilleG rant
as financial agent of the United States
government in Europe, or else give him
control of the government transactions in
bonds and other financial business in
this city, the latter, perhaps, preferable,
as these transactions were large and pro-
ftable. Orville had given his introducer
to understand that Morgan would have
the treasury; these were the conditions
that he sought to attach to its acceptance.
Ii Orville did not speak with authority it
is evident that he spoke with assurance.
Suffice 1T to say that Governor Morgan
listened to the astounding proposition
with surprise, and that he answered the
presidents brother in such q way as to
bring the negotiations at once to an end.

II find that in addition to the pure
pirits contained in their composition,
they rontain the extracts of hops and
other we'll known and highly approved
medicinal roots, leaves and tinctures in
quantities sufficient to render the article
what the makers claim it to be, to wit, a
medicinal preparation and not a beverage
unit and unsafe to be used except as a
medicine.
'From a careful analysis of their for
mula-which was attested under oath
/ find that in every wine-glassful of Hop
Bitters, the active medicinal properties
aside from the distilled spirits are equal
to a full dose for an adult, which fact in
my opinion, subjects it to an interal rev.

Easy on Aspiring Tars.

Owing to the fact that in the exam;-
nation which was to have been held
last Saturday for the cadetship at the
Naval Academy, from the Ninth Con-
gressional District Of New York,
algebra was one of the branches TO lie
tested in, very few Of the applicants
could compete, and only three pre-
sented themselves before the board.
The examination has been postponed
until next Saturday, and Assistant
Superintendents Mcmillan and Good
win have announced that algebra
will be omitted at the examination,
since that branch of study is not in
the public school course.
Young men who now aspire to
naval honors must either be a grad
uate of some cosege or be possessed
of superior nat5Tal talent to enable
him TO cope with the professors of
that institution before he can enter
it. 1t is not like it used to be-young
men were sent there to secure an
education, now young man must
be educated before be can get into
the Academy.

A Faithful Stale Official.

When public officer has faithfully
performed the duties of his calling,
he is certainly deserving, not only of
the emoluments attached to the Office,
but, also, to the thanks of the COM
munity. This is evidently true of
the worthy official who, at present,
occupies the Messengers Chair in
the Executive Chamber of this State
Mr.. S. w. Brooks, the present guber-
material messenger. has filed that
position since the incoming admins
tratIon OF the late Governor Hicks,
up to the present time, including the
official terms Of niue Governors Of our
State. Courteous, accommodating
and obliging, Mr.. Brooks has been
the deserving recipient of high COM
mendations from each OF the outgoing
Executives of the State. May the
shades Of life never grow dark around
him, but bis future be as bright as
his past has been useful are tae best

Is Tie County to- Foot the Bill !

In the making up of the county
tax levy, it is stated that the road
supervisors Of the eigth dist let, of
this county, alone expended $5,534.16
in one year, exceeding the evy bv
$4,334.19. Now this piece of news
presents an interesting question to
the taxpayers, of this cor lty, and
that is, who is to foot the bill and
make good the deficit? If the road
supervisors have, in this instance, ex-
ceeded their authority, certainly the
county cannot be held legally respon-
sible, nor have the County Commits
sioners any right or authority to as
sumo the obligation of including in
their levy for the present year any
such unwarranted expenditure, and
if persisted in by them a little law
in the nature of an injunction, might
be very advisably applied for

Now that our Western Maryland
counties have, through the persistent
and energetic perseverance on the
part of those interested, secured the
long wished for fast daily mail tacili-
ties, we think it is about time that
those interested in our county should
also 90 TO work and endeavor to Sc
cure daily mail facilities throughout
every part of it. The limits of this
county extend about 10 miles in
length and 30 miles in breath, and the
numbe- of Postoifices contained there
in are bv no means Vulnerable. Still
we see no reason why our people, no
matter in what part thereof located,
should not be enabled TO receive their
mails daily from the Genital Postof-
fees of Washington. Baltimore and
Annapolis. This presents good op.
portunity for Mr.. Holton to enlist his

ter, and we feel assured that those of
our present most worthy and ever ac-
commodating Post Master would be
cheerfully given TO the securing of
this most important object.
