this is peculiarly book for the times" 1t will
be "a textbook from which men may learn what
Democratic principles are" by ''the most emf

the volumes fill this long felt want, the writer
of the announcement is warranted in making
his confident prediction that 'Ameri-
can citizens, of whatever polti-
cal faith will welcome this work "
What could be more welcome9 The 'time-
honored Democratic principles" which so many
platforms and orators have sworn to uphold,
have become DINNER and DINNER, and 'Arneric-
an citizens, Of whatever political faith" will
read a clear statement of them with as keen an
interest as they read Doctor Schliemanns enter
tanning volume on Troy. The most salient
points in the philosophy of the Democracy in re-
cent times as the unlearned public remembers
them, are-the war a failure; the amendments to
the Constitution an insult internal improve
ments unconstitutional; free trade a panacea;
fraud fraud! reform for Offices. A well
ordered political philosophy" into which these
doctrines shall! be wrought, will keep the mem

maintained leading charitable institution in
New \ DIRK by the proceeds resulting from similar
osculatory affairs. Mr.. Howson assures us that
the offers made him by young and beautiful

and mail communication with Mr. Legate the
latter being furnished with the formers route.
Mr.. Willard, of Leavenworth, also participated
in this correspondence, sending and paying for
messages to St John from Legate Your corr6
spondent is also informed that Mr.. Legate has
written to Mr.. Clarkson, the Iowa member of
the Republican national committee, telling him
the whole story in detail, and marking each
page confidential" This is probably the letter
Mr. Clarkson refers TO as being unable to make
public. The friends of Mr. st John have, in en-
deavoring to shield him and lay the whole mat
ter on Legate's shoulders, placed that gentleman
in position to be accused Sf attempting to OBJ
tain $25, 900 out of the Republicans and then
telling them to shut up or he would expose
them.
This is of course, not an enviable position for
Mr.. Legate. and he feels it very keenly. Some
of his friends who are acquainted with the facts,
have advised him to make clean breast OF the
whole matter He hesitates to do so, however. as
he says others will be complicated whom he does
not wish to draw into the matter. He is also
said to hesitate, as an avowal of the truth would
iniure him with the Prohibitionists, who would
take St Johns word as they do Holy Writ
Your correspondents informant says that Mr.
Legate has proof in black and white from Mr.
St John However, he may, if the atmosphere
gets little warmer, come out with the whole
matter, when, of course. the friends Of St John
would defend him by crying forgery. Mr.. Lee
gate also probably realizes the force of this,
knowing the Prohibitionists as he does and con-
sequeatly feels himself in such muddle that he
can't see the way to better himself by taking
the advice of his friends and telling the truth.

GRANTS PERSONAL EXPECTS.
Why the Movement for Raising Fund for
Their Preservation Was Stopped.

New YORK, Jan. 12-The following state
ment made by friend of General Grant, makes
clear the action taken to protect the General,
and why the movement for raising fund was
stopped:
Two or three weeks ago, there appeared to
De danger of a sherifFs sale of general Grants
official commissions, swords, medals souvenirs
OF foreign countries, and other precious personal
effects Hearing of this, and with what ap-
peared to be sure evidence before them that
the danger of such sale was
imminent, some of General Grants
friends resolved to protect these histor
and treasured objects and his other personal
effects, by buying them at their appraised valua-
tlon or at snch sale, if opportunity offered, and
they would have furnished money for that pur-
pose. In looking into the legal points of the
case, it was found that the contemplated sale
was friendly sale on the part of Mr. Wander
bllt to obtain legal title free from any further
lien. and, after acquiring possession, to preserve
such personal effects and souvenirs for General
Grant. In view Of these facts, and of the letter
of General Grant to Cyrus w. Field, further &C
ton in the matter was dropped. The generous
offer of Mr.. Vanderbilt just made known, pre-
serves to General Grant and the American peo-
pie the treasured objects it was the purpose of
his other friends to protect"
