GENERAL GRANT AND THE PREsrDESr.-It il
given out from Washington that General Grant
the other day had long consultation with the
President on Southern restoration, and that In
this consultation the General earnestly opposed
the scheme Of an amnesty-suffrage compromise
"as an utterly unsafe basis Of reconstruction,
tending to restore rebels 10 absolute power in
the rebellous sectIon,p and that "he urged
Mr.. Johnson to accept and recommend the pro-
posed amendment to the constitution as q fair
and just plan Of reconstruction, taking the
ground that the people had declared TOR 1t. and
Tat i would be unwise 10 disregard their
wishes" We have only to say here that what
ever may be the facts in regard to this reported
consultation aud conversation, we have no doubt
that the views above given are the opinions Of
General Grant and OF the great body Of the
Union soldiers Of the war, and that Congress,
thus sustained, will hold fast 10 The amend

Its approval by the legislatures Of three-fourths

Tho New York Press Association and the


Country Journals.


The Executive Committee Of the Western As
ISOLATED Press, in an interview with the MEM
bers Of the New York Association on the 28th
inst, demanded privileges and terms which 1t
was impossible to grant, and they withdrew
from the conference and made the best terms
possible with spurious concern started by
q former but now dismissed agent Of the New
York Associated Press These gentlemen
assert that the entire Western press will join
them in this movement, but by their tslsgraphic
explanations and apologies to their "consti-
tuents,"s copy of which we have received
would seem TO fear otherwise. t8E


We imagine that the press Of the country
willnot be in haste to accept the advice and
take the unwise step Of the agents Of their
association. It is . matter Of time and Of much
money TO- establish an association like that Of
the New York press, and one at all adequate to
answering the demands Of the press and the
people of the country. Expensive local Offices
have to be established, with experienced sala-
ried agents In charge an equal number Of
foreign correspondents have to be employed at
still heavier expense, news boats maintained,
and hundreds of other similar expenses which
the country papers have hitherto not been
called upon to sustain. The expenses Of the
HERALD alone in this respect will foot up many
thousands Of dollars per annum, and those Of
the other papers make the aggregate mon
strous sum. All the news furnished by those
hundreds of private correspondents Of the New
York papers has been furnished gratis TO the
country papers, saving to them not only
the expenses and salaries of the correspondents,
but the heavy cost Of Its transmission by the
cable. The spurious association which is
struggling to establish itself proposes to fur
nish this same news second hand, half day
after its publication here, thus giving the small
evening papers in other cities the benefit of
the news in advance ofahe larger and more
important morning journals. This clipping Of
news from the New York papers is species Of
cheap enterprise not likely to be appreciated
by the morning journals or the people Of the
country, and they will have to turn to the New
York association for full and prompt supply
of the Americans indispensability The
old association is determined to excel even itself
in the character and completeness Of its news
and in despatch in its transmission, and II
necessary to the maintenance Of its superiority
the special kilograms Of the HERALD and other
papers from sll parts Of the world will be do
livered to the country press simultaneously
with their publication in this city.

Now, as to the mockery of this scheme
of Mr.. Stevens to effect restoration Of
representation in Congress. In the first
place, the requirements are such that
not-three efourths-probably not half-oi
the States will ratify these scandalous
propositions Of amendment of the fun
damental law. That Mr.. Stevens ex.
poets this can hardly be douted, since
that by the proposed amendment, as we
understand it, several Northern States
will lose in the number Of their represen
tion by the exclusion of foreigners and
others from the basis of representation.
Of course some of these States will not
do aught to abridge their power in Con
gress for the sake Of elevating the negro
of the South to the hurt of the whites
there. We are speaking of the effect OF
things, not upon their abstract merits.
And if the requisite three-fourths would
ratify them, they cannot do so for long
period, since that the several legislatures
will not soon be in regular session. Be
sides, who can say that future Radical
Congress, acting in the bitterness OF
spirit exercised by the present one, will
not see abundance of reason for keeping
out Southern representatives, upon the
pretence of not having fulfilled to the
letter provisions which have no donbt
been cautiously worded for that express
purposes

A CospI ANT FROM THE MARKEraES.-
We have heard Of frequent complaints
from the marketmen coming to this city
concerning rule existing in the markets,
inrbidding any marketman TO tie his horse
TO his cart, and requiring him TO carry him
oil the market street when unhitched. BY
thss rule they are compelled to carry their
horses out OF their sight, where they are
liable to be stolen, or to 20 To the expense
II putting them in u stable, which few
"t them are able To do. Why is this II
there is 4 class which ought to be afforded
every market facility, and TO be relieved
Of any sort of oppression, 1t is those who
supply our citizens with fruits and vegcta-
hlcs. Most of our best people are now
compelled TO send every little they can
raise to the markets, and many Of them re-
turn home with n small pittancc Of two or
three dollars as the fruits of hard labor.
The rule complained of may bc necessary
for the preservation Of order, or 10 prevent
the blocking up of the streets, but it GER
tainly seems that some other rule might be
made to apply Just As we'll. We hope that
those most excellent officers the clerks Of
the markets will not cOnstrue what VIC
lave said as complaint against them, for
we do not mean it as such. This is 4 mat
ter for the consideration Of the Committee
on Markets. Market gardeners should
have every inducemcnt to bring their pro-
duce to market, and no rule which wonld

Since that was written two more nave dled
Zone this morning) by this terrible disease.
The symptoms seem in early stages to be similar
to typhus fever, headache, pain IN the breast,
aching in the muscles, paleness OF lace, etc.
The ham of which they eat was cured by son
living in the country, and seemed to be sound.


Alter the nature OF the disease was proved,
piece of the same cured meat was given, as an
experiment, to SOW in pen. She devoured 1t,
and in three days had the so;called hog cholera
(prevalent in the West Tor the last year.. She
was dead in q few days, and pieces of her
muscles we're examined under the microscope,
and disclosed the TACT that the triChina and hog
cholera have one origin. Yesterday we had
the rumor here that another family of seven,
some miles north of Marion, are down with the
same disease.


TRICHMA.-Our community has, with reason,
been considerably excited on the subject of
trichina during the past week. family named
mis-, residing in Marion, consisting OF eight
pereons, seven of whom had eaten raw ham,
were taken sick. The peculiarly of the disease,
and the fact that the one which had not eaten
OF the pork was not sick, aroused suspicion that
their sick ness was in some way connected with
eating the pork. The meat was examined and
great numbers of the worms were found in it.
A portion OF the muscle, taken from different
parts of the body OF the first one that died. was
also examined under microscope, and trichina
IN great numbers were plainly discovered. At
the present writing three OF the family have
died, and the remaining four are In critical
condition. We examined O portion of muscle
taken from one of the bodies, and are satisfied
there is no mistake about it. We saw the worms
as plainly under the microscope as we ever saw
mageots in flesh with the naked eye. They are
ugly-looking customers, aud we feel no desire
for forming q more intimate acquaintance with
them. Heretofore we have been rather incredu-
lous concerning this question, but now we are
sufficiently convinced as to torego the pleasure
