The following correspondence between
the late Gen. U. s. Grant and the pub
fishers of his work will be Of interest to
the public:
New York, June 3Oth, 1885.
Gen. U. s. Grant,
DEAR Sir: We would like your instruc.
tions with reference to the following state
of facts: Several persons either have pre-.
pared, or are preparing books with refer
ence to you, with titles which are
calculated to lead the public to suppose
that they are the personal Memoirs /"
prepared by you. Among the most
mischievous books of this character Is
one published at Hartford, Conn, entitled
Personal History of U. S. Grant," or
" Personal History of General U. s.
Grant" lit is advertised both ways.) The
title is 30 nearly like yours. but one or
two words being changed, that our agents
write us the public are constantly being
misled by the deceptive title, and that
they are greatly embarrassed thereby,
which embarrassment is in no way
lessened by the fact, that the agents in
whose hands it is placed for sale, not
lnfrequently represent it as your work,
and the parties advertising it in the
public newspapers, fail to put the name
of any author upon the advertisement.
We have not consulted counsel as to
whether the manner in which the book
is advertised is an infringement of our
rights, and before doing so, write to ask
you whether in case we have a legal right
to stop these limitations of our title page,
it is your desire that we proceed vigor-
ously about it.
Yours respectfully,
CHARLES L. WEBSTER & Co.
Mt. McGregor, July 4th, 1885.
Chas. L. Webster & Go.
DEAR SIRs: Your letter with reference
to limitations Of the title page of my
/" Personal Memoirs" is received. It
seems incredible to me that anyone
would be unprincipled enough to obtain
subscriptions to book of the character
you name, by leading the public to be-
lleve that it is the one which 1 have
written. But if such is the case, think
the wisest course is simply to let the
public know that this wrong is being
done.
Yours truly,
u, s, GRANT.

An Extra session.

II seems now that an extra session
is very likely to be called at an early
day. The irritation is the alleged in
competency ofthe Oatmanyillc rock to
complete the capitol building. II is
broadly known that operations have
been suspended on the work for some
time, and the fact cxcites no especial
wonder or nervousness. In fact ii
was anticipated long before the adj
journment of the legislature. The
circumstances have not changed in
any particular. The rock is still at
Oatmanville. There is just as much
there as there was at the time the
original contract was made with the
Chicago syndicate, less only the mea-
gre amount taken out for the founda-
ton. The proposition now is to pro-
cure rock at some point in Indiana.
The cost, additional, TO the state re-
mains still at about eight hundred
thousand dollars. or course II is In
tended that this figure is to induce an
acceptance of the Burnet proposition.
II is as plain as the nose ON the human
face. Now the syndicate have &C

THE EXAMINER was al one in its OPP
position to the general Texas interest

many of the wlde-awake papers of the

quired titles to about four
hundred thousand acres of
the public domain already
and the threat of abandonment OF con-
tract is made. Well, suppose they do,
there will still remain two million,
six hundred thousand acres of the APP
preparation eft, and while il would
perhaps be bad bargain to burn
books with them, yet II would be far
better than to add eight hundred
thousand dollars to the original cost
of the building. thence, the EXAM
INER says, "let 'em slide.r To the
original cost of eight hundred thou
sand dollars additional, we would
have to add that OF the proposed eX-
ira session. Lot them go. Call no
extra session. Let them throw up
the contract. Let the state give il to
other contractors to finish the build
ing at the cost originally coniem-
plated IN the first contract made with
the Chicago syndicate.
This whole matter Is an outrage on
the state, and we sincerely trust that
our excellent governor will not weak
EN- on the subject. Let him stand
firm. There is no other provocation
for an extra session. This is the only
excuse. and there is no more cause or
reason for il to day than there was on
the last day OF the regular session
The whole matter is a bluff, and the
state OF Texas holds by far The
strongest hand She can cal

possibly make with the absolute GER
tainty too that il will win. Two mil

Railway Developments Closely Watched.


1t is not strange that the capitalists of Eng
land should closely watch railroad developments
IN the United States as they have invested largely
in the stocks and bonds of corporations.
Their financial writers are INCLINED to indulge in
severe criticism railway management on this
their latest circular, Messrs. A. P. Turner & Co,
of Threadneede street London, have this to say
on the subject:
There probably but comparatively few
railways which will pay full cash dividends from
earnings in 1885, and new capital cannot be
raised from the sale of shares at par,
money must come exclusively from the
further issue of bonds. This all re-
suits from an overproducton of railways,
reducing many grades of rates to improbable
points. There are more direct lines than bust
ness, and as soon as the trunk lines attempt to
20 artfcially support rates, the cireutous all
rail or lake and rail lines not IN the combina
ton, come in at cut just below the pub
iished rate This will last until there is as
much business railway. The public seems to
think that the rate trouble lies at the door of
the West Shore. 1t is not So nor was the West
Shore, now hOpelessly insolvent and unable to
earn operating expenses the first offender. The
Canada Southern built TO be sold to the
