GEN. GRANTS DAUGHTERS WRETCIIED
TREATMENT--h relative Of the Grant fam
lily in Washington is authority for the state
ment that the married lie Of Nellie Grant
Sartoris is far more humiliating and un-
pleasant than has yet been made public.
Mrs. Sartoris makes her home with her
husbands father, in the north Of England.
Here, accoring to all accounts, she is treat
ed as sort of poor relation. Two rooms
arc set aside for the use Of herself and child
rem and their meals furnished, but nothing
else is given to them. either by the husband
or Mr. Sartoris. So far, indeed, az the
younger Sartors is concerned, it is said that
be has not contributed q penny to his wfe'S
support for years. It is q well known
fact that for couple Of years prior TO
General Grants death Iemttances of
money were regularly sent TO Nelia
to provide herseI: and children with cloth
ing and other useful articles. When
the General became impoverished through
Ferdinand Ward, the greatest regret he is
said to have expressed was that his poverty
would prevent him from further assisting
Nellie, who was practically supported BY his
bounty. All the member of the Grant fam
lily who still contribute 10 the support of
Mrs. Sartoris and the children have urged
MIS-. SarlOTlS loT years lo separate from ner
husband and return tn America. 1t is said
that Mrs. Grant made such II request only n
few months ago. after hearing of some fresh
indignity on Sartors' part. But the daush-
ter replied that she would moi entertain such
II proposition moment, and added indig-
nantly that she wuulL refuse to sustain rea-
lions of any character with her family if
these opportunities did not cease. Mean
while, Sartoris is racing about England,
spending the mea9re allowance his father
gives him among companions Of his own
kind. The reports which reach here from
New York say that Sartolis has been absent
from his wife since last splng, and that she
bears from him only at rare Intervals.

SOME NORTHERN republican protection
newspapers say, that because many old
whigs and their sons live in the South, pro-
lection must have large support in TINS
section, rs Henry Clay, their idol, was
protec,ionist. But this is gross attempt at
deception. There are not only many ad-
mirers of Henry Clay in the South, but
many supporters of his tariff policy; but such
q tariff as Mr.. Clay favored would be de-
nounced by the modern protectonists as Hat
free trade. Protection to the extent oi Mr..

THE FACT that the republicans OF Mime
sofa, in State convention assembled, have
declared for FREQ trade is not at all strange.
Minnesota, like Virginia, is not mannfac-
turing State, lumber and flour being her
chief manufactures. Her population, like
that of Virginia, is chiefly agricultural. The
price of what they have TO sell is liked In
foreign makcts but that of what they have
to buy is fixed by the eastern manufactu-
rers. and is doubled by the existing tarill.
The republicans of Minnesota having COM
mon sense, and therefore awake to their
own interests, are naturally as much 10
favor of tariff reform as any democrat
can be-

GEN. LOGAN says "he can show that the
defeat of General Grants denomination at
Chicago, in 1880, was effected by the use OF
MONEY!" If he can, and will do it clearly
and distinctly, and give the names OF those
who gave and those who received the mon
ey, he mag not further his own prospects
for the nomination in 1885, but he will GER

FROM A MODEL STATION HOUSE
A one-Lcgged Prisoner Escapes from
the Fifth Precinct.

A one-Legged Prisoner Escapes from
the Fifth Precinct.
Sheriff Murphy, Of Clinton county, N.
c., reached police headquarters yesterday
to get possession Of Frank Merrlck, the
one.legged colored horse thief, arrested
Friday by Detective Carter
"This shows my authority and identity"
said the sheriff, drawing the necessary
papers out of his pocket and handing them
to Lieut.. Swindells. Lieut.. Swindells
looked at the man for minute. He real
ized that the statement that he was about
to let fall would astonish the sheriff, who
had Travelled over 400 miles after his prls-
oner.
~ am sorry to say that your prisoner
escaped from the fifth precinct station
house during last night. He was locked
up in room up stairs that adioins the Off
GERS large sleeping room. During the
night he must have taken OFF the lock OF the
door or unloosened the iron gratings at the
top Of the door and crawled out. How he
gotout is not known. The fact Of his flight
was not discovered until this morning. The
statlonkeeper could not tell how the man
got out, or what time he escaped. We
have been securing the city for him, but
our efforts have not succeeded.n
81 am sorry. Merrck is a slick fellow.
For one.legged man he can harness up a
horse quicker than any man in the county,
and can get over ground faster than any
man you know
"Ifave you any idea that he has friends
here, or where he intended to go after leav-
ing North Carolinam asked, Lieut.. Swindells.
"Philadelphia; so his friends at home
say"
The sheriff spent of the day about the
city searching for his fugitive, but failed to
get him. II MerriclS is not caught to-day,
Sheriff Murphy will return home by late
night train
