Yours very respectfully,-

Washington, Aug dear Sir: | have
read your letter with amaZement and in
dignation There is but one mitigation to
the perfidy which your letter discloses and
tht is found in the fact that you confess
YOU share in it. | don't know whether you
are a Democrat or not, but if you are the
crime which you confess is the more unpar-
donabe The idea that this administration
pledged to give the people better govern
ment and better officers and engaged in a
hand to hand fight with the bad elements
of both parties, should be betrayed by those
who ought to be worthy of implicit trust, is
atrocious and such treason to the people
and to the party ought to be punished by
Imprisonment. Your confession comes too
late to be of immediate use to the public
service and 1 can only say that while this
is not the first time | have been deceived
and misled by lying and treacherous
representations, you are the first one that
has so frankly owned his grievous fault.
If any comfort is to be extracted from this
assurance YOU are welcome to it. Yours
truly GROVER CLEVELAND.

4 scoRCHER FROM THE PRESIDENT.

One Of the recent incidents in the presi-
dents experience with political applica-
tions seems thus far to have escaped Obser-
walton and report. The correspondence
given below, and about the authenticity of
which there is no question, explains itself
Cincinnati, O., July 24.-To thepresident,
Dear Sir: This community read the an
nouncement of the appointment of ---
to the -- judgeship with establishment
and regret, if not pain, and none were
more astonished than those who had signed
his petition, and | regret to say that my
name is to be found upon it. l have
refused several whom | knew to be unfit,
! but | signed this one, thinking it would
never be considered and not for one moment
/ believing the appointment was possible.
1 When first presented to me, L put him oil
/ and hoped TO escape, but he came again
with it and others and signed it, thinking
/ there was no chance for its reaching even
/ a consideration. 1t was signed by many
/ prominent men who hated to refuse and
/ hoped and thought it would result in
nothing.

THE NATIONAL GAME.
Important Action at Yesterdays Meeting of
the Arbitration Committee.

PHILADELPHIA April 3-The base ball arbi
tration committee met here day. Powell and
Fulmer, of last seasons Peoria club; Clarence
g. t'Kid"l Baldwin, of the Quincy club; and H.
G Blaisdell, of the Lynn, Mass. club were re-
instated. 1t was shown that Chas. Lewis, of the
indianapolis club was recorded on the black
list through clerical error, and he was declared
in good standing and reinstated. All were de-
clared eligible to contract and play at once. J.
Sneed of the Indianapolis club, ap-
piled for reinstatement, and his case
was referred to the American Asso-
citation. Henry McCormick's like application
was referred to the Eastern League. The names
of p C. Larkin and John Cozler, both of the
Rock Island club, were erased from the black
list, and the rules were so amended that players
of minor organizations cannot be expelled
without the sanction of the arbitration commit
tee. Messrs. Mcknight, Rodgers and Scanlan
were appointed trial committee. The second
section of the national agreement, which relates
read, "Oct 20,' instead of 'Oct. TO-" as the
date on which players may be engaged for the
following season. The subject of To-
eating an Eastern. club at Balti-
the argument of the Eastern League in its
avor, the committee decided to ratify the plan
adopted by the American Association in prohib-
iting club being formed there The election
of officers for the ensuing year resulted as fol-
lows: Chairman, N. E. Young; secretary, o. r
Caylor; treasurer, III. H Diddeback
The Office of vice-chairman was done away
with. Messrs Bullard, Day and Barnie were
appointed q committee on forms. There was no
communication from III. V. Lucas, of ST. Louis,
and the subject of reinstating Dunlap, Shaffer
ct al was not brought before the committee
The Western League was admitted to the protec-
ton of the national agreement. The committee
adjourned to meet at New York in November
1t is understood that the Quaker City club, of
this city, which is composed of professional
players, viii. be transferred to Wilmington, Del,
and admitted to the Eastern League, to fill the
vacancy in that organization caused by the re-
fusal OF the arbitration committee to permit an

G. w. CHILDS'S "REMINISCENCES,
How General and Mrs. Grant Received Theil
Last Bit of Good News

How General and Mrs. Grant Received Their
Last Bit of Good News.
Interview in Philadelphia North American.
The last time saw General Grant was on the
4th of last month. He realized that mis- life was
drawing to close, but seemed to regard the ap-
proach of death calmly and without the slightest
fear. He hoped to be able to finish his book be-
fore he died. While we were talking of the
efforts of his friends to have him placed on the
retired list he testified how kindly he felt toward
them, and spoke of the pleasure he felt at the
kind remarks of the newspapers advocating his
retirement. While we were chatting, / observed
that it was 1l:30 o'clock, and the General said:
II suppose the Senate is adiourning nown
Just then received a telegram from Mr. Drexel
saying that General Grant had been placed on the
retired list "There, General" said I, "read
that" A smile of pleasure illuminated his
countenance and for moment he appeared un-
able to speak Mrs. Grant entered the room,
and told her the news. With beaming face
she cried out: They have brought us back our
old commander" The scene was very affecting.
The General could hardly express the delight he
felt at the compliment which had been paid him.
He bore not the slightest ll-wll toward those
who opposed the BILL for he is the greatest sol
dier that ever lived; he is as kind and gentle as
woman. He frequently told me how much it
panied him to be accused of butchery He said
he was always overcome by feeling of sadness
before battle at the thought that many poor
fellow would never return from the field. He is
generous to a fault, and has given away
fortune iE charities In this, as in everything
else, he was modest.
The same modesty that prevented General
Grant from asking for an appointment or pro-
motion caused him to remain silent concerning
his gifts to the needy l remember that when
he was on one of his visits to me during his
presidency, good many people called here to
ask favors of him. Not caring to have him
worried, refused admittance TO all whom j
suspected of being on an errand of that kind.
One day lady who lived in the same block in
fact only a few doors from my house, called and
asked to see him. you may see her. General
said |, laughing. II guess she is not after an
