Gea. Gen0a oaA the 0exhea0 treaty
NEW YoRx, Jan. 3.-GsueFal Grant
has written latter to the Washington
having beeo published that Gen Grant
| A. the United States Commisoioner, had
personal interests in Mexico vhioh
would be benefited By the passage Of
the proposed Mexican treaty. General
Grant says: "Ne. Romero and myself
mover had In our lives auy pecuniary
transactions, ,or transactions of any kind
since the close Of 0ur rebellion and the
expulsion OF Manhattan from Mexioo
There has been a warm sympathy be-
tween Romero and myself, our views
being coincident "a to the relations
which ought TO exist between Mexico
and the United States. We have Goth
devoted much time 10 bringing about
more init nat. rs1 tons between the two
repoblics, aud entirely grataitousiy On
our part. ] myself have had nO pecu
mary interest in any improvements
which are takiaR place in Mexico with
American capital, bat feel great inter
est in their success. 1 believe its Eati-
ficAtion would be a great step toward
establishing those reistions between the
two o0asiQuOus republics which ought
70 exist and would be 70 their mutual
advaosaee." General Grant states that
the argument used that under the treaty
II will b an easy matter to ship Cuban
sugar 70 Mexico and reship il from
Mexico thus evadinR the duties. ID IN
tenable because Mexico has 4 higher
tariff upon sugar than the United states,
and il is only crude sugar which is ID
mitted free under the treaty while tue
difference betwesa Cuban raw sogaf
and Mexioan raw sugar 10 % great that
II would not even require an expert to
tell the difference. The 0eneral Says
he is writing from sick bed and hence
osnnot enter into details. He says be
has spent thousands Of dollars OF his
own money and a great deal Of tune to
advance the Development Of Mexico by
United States capital and by American
indoenoe. He has no pecuniary inter-
est in the oountry save that be has Sub
scribed to railroad shieh lies wholly
70 the south Of the City Of Mexico. and
the success Of which is very doubtful
ut this time wh.n is 10 10 difficult to
raise capital for ans such enterpRiss.

CHICAGO, Jan. 3-During the trial OF
Jas. H. Melville for alleged embezzle-
ment, in the criminal court before Judge
Howes yesterday. the prosecution de-
sired to prove that part of the money
was sent to Melville through Western
Union telegraph Company money or
der. The clerk Of the Telegraph Com
pany declined to produce the original
message, on the grounds that the mes-
saRes could not be made public proper
~. The court ruled that telegraph CON-
muuications could not be considered
more confidential than others. and that
no communication could be excluded
when the cause of Justice required its
production.

lightful tour among the soldiers Of the
south west, and I find the army in splen.
did condition"
do think the next Presi lent will
be a Democrat? certainly do. unless
the party commits greater blunders
than can possibly be anticipated. The
tariff question 10 naturally coming up
again, and is destined to out broad
figure in the political campaign. I
think Carlisle il going to make himself
the greatest Speaker Of the House. and
his tariff views will undoubtedly become
the Deu ratio party's platform. Yes,
there is every reason to believe We will
win this tine."
General Hancock has visited nearly
all the army headquarters in Texas and
Arks. cas-, remaining several weeks In
each State. He will make call upon
General Sherm-n aud family this after
noon, in order to pay his respsots 70 his
