Nellie Grant 9 Troubles.

For several weeks stories have been I'm cir
culaton in Wash ngton about the unpleasant
condition of affairs between Nellie Grant-Sar-
toris and her husband. Long and infinitely
detailed histories of the difficulty and the
probability OF a divorce have been In various
eastern public alton ot es for some time, but
no pub icaton OF of these stories had been
made In eastern ape until tie story first APP
peared in Denver Local papers in Washing
ton had several olumns on the subject from
day 10 day. The Critic OF ate issue contains
the fol owing which throws more light upon
what had been already printed: Newspaper
gossip about the unpleasantnes existing In
the married relations OF Mrs. Nellie Grant-Sar-
toris and her husband does not surprise
those familiar with Their courtship. They
look upon these repors as the natural sequence
OF an uno ongenial-to use I'll phrase-alliance.
Miss Nellie was girl OF sweet disposition and
gentle manners, her fathers idol, while Sar-
toris was rough and coarse-grained English
man. His general conduct In connection with
the fact that he had exhibited some of Miss
Nellfe's letters to him, accompanied with gross
remarks to persons In a Wis, oasin town, where
an accomplished young lady rejected his ad-
dresses, caused solicitude among many of Gen.
Grants personal friends, some of whom were
consulted as to the propriety of informing him
of Sartoris' conduct with q view 10 regain
ing possession of Miss Nellie's letters
Senator Matt Carpenter finally con-
scented to breach the delicate subject
and in the most delicate manner possible
commenced relating the current scandal as
to Sartoris' notorious conduct, when the gen.
cral quietly remarked. THAT will do, sena-
tor. My daughter is engaged to Sartoris and
the wedding win take place" Senator Car
penter, in sp- aking of the interview, said he
never felt 50 charmed as at the presidents
abrupt closing OF the conversation, and he
would never again und,r any circumstances
attempt to advise about the domestic affairs of
any one. 1t was well known that Gen. Grant
was opposed to the. alliance, but when his
taughters affect ons were engaged he &C
qulesced and would listen 10 no argument or
suggestion TO the contrary. When Gov. jew
| ell was r,turn'ng from his mission at st.
Petersburg to accept position in Grants cab
ined he stopped day at Southampton to call
upon the e,der Mr.. and Mrs. Sirtoris, parents
OF Mis- Nclle's husband. He was cordially
received by lem, but in the course If con-
yersation, Mr'. Sartois astonishe1 the minis

Residences I'm the State.

There is abroad in the State press a
restless feeling regarding the nomiua-
ton of Mr.. James w. Tate for State
Treasurer by the Democratic Central
Committee. which argues the existence
in the State of new interest in the prob>
lem of State affairs. The nomination
of Mr.. Tate by II group of committees
men, just after some of the State papers
had been teemiDg with rumOrs of mis-
management of the treasury, is i'm ques-
tionable taste at least, and gives the
dissatisfied provocation to claim that
the meaning of this proceeding is to
keep the books out Of sight. We do
not believe that Mr.. Tate is anything
but an honest and efficient officer, but
there is 10 State officer whose claims
are so strong upon the people thai he is
entitled to an autocratic nomination
without the people themselves having
word to Commercial.
