OplKloa or General Url and Chief J utile OblMi A gentleman who bad an Interview with Speaker Uolfax, In Chicago, writes aDoat It to tbe Journal ol mat oily, lie says: Hume one alluded to tue numerous stories allual concerning Grant's intern per. le habit. Mr. Colfax pronounced them one and all un qualifiedly false, lie has not taken eveu wine jor months, and then but once, In company with fcherman and Bberldan, same time since. To sbow bow slight a thing gives rise to a siory of lartje dimensions, he reiaied a recent story and tbe cause. A gentleman called luto Wll lard's, at Washington, at U'A one nlgbt, and found General Oranl Inside the csuuter. lie spoke to Grant, who Blared at him, and an swered In an Indistinct manner, as the man said, saying he was getting some change, or something of that sort, and was evldeuily the worse for liquor. Tne story got started, and enlarged as it wont. "Gen. Giant baa been setndruuk at Wlllard's on such an evening." It got to tils friends. It troubled them. They broached tbe subjeot to the Gene ral. These (acts were elicited: lie was Just go ing on tbe Fstreet cars, and was obliged to have the exuet cuauge. He found tbat he had no thing smaller than a 820 bill In his pocket, and stepped Into Wlllard's to get It changed. The clerk w as obliged to send a boy out, as the sale was locked, ana tbe regular night clerk was not In. While he was waning, Grant, as was often his custom, slopped inside the counter. While there a inau came In and spoke to him. "Are you the clerk, sir?" Grant very naturally si art d. "Are you the clerk, sir?" the man reit erated. "Mo sir," Grant replied, "I'm here for change" and hence the story, without tbe least foundation. Mr. Col lax is a religious man. and a strict temperance man, but is oiten amused when he Is referred to as an enemy to rum and tobaooo. "I ant an enemy to tobacco," he said; "I destroy all I can of It." He uses only cigars, and says tbat he "cannot afford but one vice." Ue says that Grant did not teach him to smoke. Mr. Colfax thinks Congress adjourned too soon. He agrees with General Bcnenok that the 8th or 9th of August would have been bet'er. Mr. Colfax sys he "hasn't seen Chase since his wonderful metamorphose." Hays tbe In stance is without a parallel where the same man was a candidate for nomination In tbe convention (f each of two radically opposite Sartles during the s ime campaign. As a man e is an admirer of Chase, lie says: "I told him last winter that it was a foregone conclu sion that Grant would be nominated, and he might as well get his little bark out of the way." He thinks that Chase will support Grant. . . . Again referring to General Grant, he re marked: "I have attended receptions with him, and. indeed, I have always been with him when he has been out the past season, and he has nevtr taken wine, even, but has always re- He considers Johnson "a bold, bad, desperate man." In reply to an Inquiry regarding the probable course of the President during the re mainder of bis term, he said: "Those who have heretofore predicted the worst concerning Mr. Johnson have proved themselves the truer propheis. At the present time he is very much uisappclnted that he did not get the nomina tion of tne Mew York Convention, and pro voked with tbe Democracy; for that reason he may not do much to benefit them." Mr. Colfax said that "he had never claimed that Providence ni maob to da with iidma crailc conventions, but he believes that a Higher Power certainly had something to do with the last one, guiding them so as to Insure our success." Mr. Collax had nothing to say about Blair, Perhaps he thought the less said the better. GRANT AND BLAIR. How Frk Intruded upoa tbe Gsaeral la (lie Wast. A correspondent of the Chicago Republican writes, respecting General Grant's tour on the Plains: One of the most noticeable features of the experience from the mountains down was the position assumed by the Democratic candidate for the Vlce-Prestdeucy. He put himself pro minently forward at Laramie, and attaching himself to General Grant, maintained that position with a closeness of Intimacy unequalled by a brother's love. At Cheyenne It was tbe same, andat all points down the road; to such a noticeable extent, indeed, that In passing from the train to hotels, or where General Grant was called out, there was as much of Blair presented to their view as oi General Grant. And all this Intimacy on his own Invitation solely. Now, that the Re publican candidate for the Presidency, and the Democratic candidate for the Vice-Presidency, should maintain the fairest possible foot incrni frlendshlD Is but natural, and consistent with gentlemen of right hearts; and that he wnniii receive a eenerous welcome and reooenl tion from General Grant, Frank Blair well know. Therein lies not the pith of the matter. It Is here: Mr. Blair went West two weeks ago. In company with Democratic speakers.elelegates to tbe Mew York Convention. They spoke la a number of places, and In those speeones un hridieil ihnlr toneues to sneak lies of noordl narv character against General Grant, and to utter lantiuage In referring to him that was as nngentlemanly as It was falne and unjust. Mr. Blair countenanced and seconded all this, and even went so lar as to aua tne capsueai to tnese unbecoming thrusts, in making tne remaru: mat owing to tbe peculiar position In which ho was placed, he was of necessity constrained to forego me enULClttllOU Ol ucnnm )iiiuuilJica nuu muM iii the same connection ! This is what made the altitude Mr. Blair assumed on the present tour f-o inconsistent and unbecoming. Advantage was taken or General Grant's position as a tra vellerhe was not In his own house, where he could manage bis own social affaire. I record this fact aaviseaiy, aua tuereiore know whereof I speak. At Omaha, where Blair bad but tbe week before taken such ex treme and ungentlemanly ground aealnst Gen eral Grant in public, he sheered off from tue party lor the nrst time, ana was not seen wnn them here hereafter. And although be was known all along the line of the Union Paoino Railroad, where ne so Given appearea in com nanv with General Grant, his presenoe called lorth no enthusiastic expressions of sympathy. A PAINFUL DEATH. Vlcar-Grl SpaldlBfr, Of Ioulsvlll, Htuck;,uuma to iimib-a of bis Life. Tbe Loulsvile Courier of Wednesday gives tbe following particulars of the painful death of the Very Uev. B. J. Spalding, Vlcar-Ueneral of the Catholio Diocese of Louisville: Il has been tbe custom of Father Hpaldln g to keep a gaslight, with a sliding tube, burning In his bedroom over night. It seems that at about 1 o'clock yesterday morning the tube slipped down and came la ooutact with tue UiUsqulto bar.

Father Spalding's nlgbt clothes were burnt nearly off uun, auu tie was writning in agony. i was wrapped in a sheet and uiedloul aid promptly summoned, but before ibe arrival of the doctors be became frautlo with pulu, and asecoad lime immersed himself in t he bath-tub. Ou tbe arrival of the Dbvslolan tbe proper remedies were applied to his relief, but to no purpose, lie Uugerou In great agony until 6 o'clock last evening, when death relieved him of his suffering, ills resort to water, no doubt, oanseu meiiii ikbuiu 'i be announcement of bis death last evening, and the terrible manner lu wnloh It hanDened cast a gloom over the whole oily, and there was mourning on every uauu. rue ouurcn bens anlemiilv tolled, and bundredsof our citizens. bowed In deep grief, repaired to the residence or f ather Bpaiuing, aujuiuiug tue catuearai, to mingle their sorrows with the bereaved rela tives of the great and good man. The Cathe dral wss lit up. and the throng nnlted In firayer for the peaceful repose of .the soul of heir beloved priest. The Very Kev. B. J. Spaidlng was born li Marlon county, Ky., in the year IKll.

Shortly alter the removal of the Dlooesan See to Louis ville, he was appointed, under bis brother, the present Archbiwhop of Baltimore who was then Bishop of this See Vloar General of the Diocese. This office be has filled with marked ability to tbe present time. Father Spalding was noted for his goodness of heart; and bis wise counsels to bis people endeared blm to them with that tender love which exists between parents and children. Tbe whole aim of bis life was to do good to all, and he has fulfilled his mission on earth In a manner that will ever keep bis memory green in Ibe hearts of his people. The loss of such a man is a public calamity. He was beloved by all denominations , rich and poor. A SAD STORY. Hie Trials of a Slmpli-mladid Girl A Barlss of Isftmoui Crimes. From the Hartford Courant of yesterday. The telegraph has announced the disappear ance, on Sunday last, of Frances Haythorn. a young daughter of Joseph Hay tnorn, of Tbomp sonville, overseer of the carding department of tbe Kuileld Stockinet Company, and her dls covery In the streets of Bristol, on Tuesday morning. In a forlorn condition. Circum stances fastened suspicion upon one Albert Potter, of Warehouse Point, as being con cerned in her abduction, and on Tuesday morning be was arrested, and Thursday assigned for a hearing of the case. Tbe examination was held yesterday, by O. K. Johnson, Esq., Justice of the Peace; John K. Buck, of Hartford, appearing for the prosecution, and J. W. Johnson of Enfield, for tbedeieuse, Tbe offense charged is enticing a female under age from her parent or guardian with intent to seduce or commit fornication; And the penalty Is a fine of not more than 81000. and Imprisonment not longer than one year, or both. There was Intense excitement in Thorn psonvllle, and a crowd of more than a thousand gathered about tbe court, though lew could hear, and the girl's tes'lmony was taken at ber father's bouse. Mr. Hay tnorn is a citizen of excellent character, and much re spected. The daughter, Frances, fifteen years old, is of a rather feeble and simple mind and defective memory. Potler is about twenty-two years old, a Joiner and carpenter by trade, and rumors of previous affairs have damaged his reputation for virtue. From the evidence offered at the trial, the facts appear to be as follows: Ou Sunday the 2d, Potter, with two friends from Windsor Locks, came to Thompsonville and put up at tbe hotel. Potter met Frances Haythorn lu the street, as she was returning from Sunday-school, about 8 30 P. M. Lat fall ne worked on a house near her home, and knew her by sight. He per suaded her to take a ride with him, and taking bis torse and buggy from tbe hotel, took her up somewhere in tbe outskirts of the village. He drove to Longmeadow, where he called at a bouse where he had promised some work, told the man of tbe house when be was coming to do lt.and excused hlmseii rrom bringing tuegirun, savicK that she wsb a servant girl employed by his mother, and tbat be was taking her to visit some friends. Returning towards Thompson ville be lelt the main road and drove into a pleoe ol wood, wbera. under bin peraaaalon and commands, the simple girl submitted to the scoundrel's purposes. He took her to Fresh water Bridge, near Thompsonville, where he left ber. This Is tbe girl's account, corroborated by several others, except as to what took place In tbe woods. The girl beems to have an Indis tinct recollection of subsequent events. She walked on down the Enfield road, and was overtaken by a stranger; who said be was a baker. He took ber to East Hartford, outraged Yif.r neTsnn on the way. and lodged her either In East Hartford or Hartford, at what, from her description, is probably .a nouse oi lu-iame. Monday morning she wandered about Hartlord, desirlnu loco home. She took the railroad track and walked In the wrong direction, on through New Britain, reaching Plainville at night. Another stranger overlook and accompanied ber, and for the third time she was a victim. About daylight on Tuesday morning she en tered Bristol in his company. A Mr. J. Griffiths who knew her aud ber family, saw the couple. ordered the man away and made the girl go home with blm. He telegraphed to her parents, and upon their replying, took the girl home on Tuesday. The main facts of tbe story she ad heres to, but of her later wanderings her recol lections are indistinct. Medical testimony was not called, but physicians were ready to testify that be bad been most Infamously treated. Tbe Justice bound Potter over to appear before the Superior Court, requiring ball In the alto nether insufficient sum of t8oo. 0 BITUAR Y. Btephem Luablngtoa, D. G. t P. O. Another link in tbe cuainof illustrious stutes men and ieelsts. who have oonneoted the actors and events of tbe past century with those of the present, has been severed by the death of the dlfclinguisnea jurist wuose loss we curonicie to-day. Stephen Lusiungion, jjaan or Aroaes, Judge of tbe High court or Admiralty, unan cellorof tbe Dioceses or London and Uoohes ter, a Privy Councillor, and the possessor of many other positions which testified alike to his great ability aud patient Industry, first saw light in the city of London tome eighty-six years since. Having received an excellent preliminary education, he was sent lo Oxford, entering bis name on tbe books of the well-known All Souls' College. After gradu ating be won a fellowship, which be held until he was called to the bar from tbe Inner Temole In 1806. Selecting at that early stage in his career that department of law In which he afterwards became so famous, he wa admitted an advocate at Doo tor's Commons as far back as 1803. In that year bis University conferred on blm tbe degree of 1). C. L. Then as now the legislature offered the highest Held to every young lawyer's ambi tion, and tbe surest reward of energy and Intel lect. Mr. Lushlngton therefore sought a seat la tbe House of Commons, and was fortunate to find one before he bad completed bis twenty fifth year, lie soon made for himself a name lu the House, and during tbe thirty-four yeais of bis Parliamentary career he ever maintained It, supporting by his voice and vote tbe Liberal party. His reputation at the bar did not suffer by his attention to legislative labors, and we find him gradually llslng in his profession, step by step. In conse quence of his high position as a pleader and tKlll In conducting Important cases, he was se lected as one of the advocates of the unfortu nate consort of George IV, In 1828 he was filaced in charge of the Coetistorial Court, and n 1838 was made Judge of the Admiralty Court and a Privy Councilor. For thirty years he discharged these functions, and to the last was distinguished for great clearness of Intellect and remarkable lucidity of expression. Deatb of an Indlaa P -.

Money continues easy of access at 48 per cent, on call, with lare sums seeking invest meut at these flgureo. Capital, in fact, is la a quandary what to do with itself. It prefers to be earning eooiethiug, rather than to lay idle, but if customers will not come there can be no gain made. Iu fact, in this country, everything dependent upon business ia ia an unnatural eon dition, in consequence of the uncertainty which attei48 the future. Until the fresldentiul elec tion over, no one wno desires to ne governed by prudence will undertake any considerable enierprirte. There is no such thing junt now as discounting for the future. Nobody desire to borrow without clearly un lerbiaud ii);: how ho will bo able to pay, aad until the political situation is settled, allccting the future. 8o too, industry Is half paralyzed. It worts from baud to mouth. It keeps on band no lareo slocks. Hence, it can mach easier demand good prices for what it baa on hand. The luborer must have great watres to keep up with tbe consequences ot inflation of prices. The consumer lurnlshes blm with the means. But capithl is worse off than all, because It has to meet btffh prices without high profits to cheer up its iplrlts, Indeed, capital without employ ment, subject to be drawn upoa lor the daily needs of lite, diminishes rather than increases, and is in the uupleasaut conditlou of tbe horse wbo is figuratively Bald to ' eat oil his own bend " lhe Stock Market was very dull to day, with out much cbauge from yesterday's quotations, but at the close it was appareut that the "bear" iutlucnce was in tbe ascendancy.
