Work lor the Frrnldent nnd Cabinet.
The President, it is said, will pay us a flying
VlBit next week, hold a Cabinet meeting, and ie
off again to enjoy his summer recreation. Ex
cept he propones to neglect important public
buslnens, he may not pet away so soon as it la
expected. There is at least one gentleman here
who Is awaiting bin arrival anxiously, and who
has some business with him and his Cabinet
w hich is regarded as important. This is Colonel
AT. B. Stokes, of Tennessee, the defeated candi
date for. Governor of that State. It Is hardly
probab e that the President will adopt the sug
gestions of Colonel Stokes, and yet it eccnn as
if t omethlu x should be done for the Union men of
Tennessee. There is no disguising the factthatthe
administration and the Republican party are
losing ground iu the Southern States. The
loss of party prestige, however, is nothing to
the deplorable- consequences that ore sure to
follow to Union men. I have had two or three
conversations with Colonel Stokes, and if the
picture he paints of the condition of affairs in
Tennessee, present and prospective, ha any
fidelity in it, there is really cause for alarm. If
anything can be done by the administration to
retrieve the disaster to the Union cause in that
State, it should be done at once. It is a great
mistake to suppose that the cx-Kcbcla are dis
posed to be the quiet, submissive lambs that
some people have pictured them. Put them into
power, nnd they will give youAndersonvillo and
Libby Prison over ngaln, if they get a chance.
They have scarcely got warmed in their seat of
power in Tennessee, and yet Union men are
already beginning to leave the State. Colonel
Stokes estimates that Tennessee has been se
back ten years by the success of the so-called
conservative Republicans.
A Political Itlumlcr.
There can be no doubt in the minds of 6hrewd
politicians, or even of casual observers, that the
defeat in Tennessee was indirectly owing to the
want of tact displayed by the administration.
The anomalous position so long maintained by
the President towards Virginia did the business
for Tennessee. I have the authority of some of
the best Union politicians of that State for this
assertion. For a long time it was difficult to tell
whether the President regretted or rejoiced at
the result of the election in Virginia. His reti
cence, so much praised generally, had a disas
trous effect. Politicians, always anxious to go
with the strong side, hesitated, not knowing
whether (irant was about to head the new con
servative movement, or whether he intended to
stand by the regular nominees of the party that
elected him. The proof of this fact is found in
the fact that the Federal olllce-holders in Tun
liessec were all for Scntcr, the conservative can
didate. "They didnt exactly know," said Stokes,
"where Grant was; that was the trouble." Daniels
of Virginia had sent his impudent despatch to
the President, congratulating him on the suc
cess of the Walker party. Walker himself had
visited the White house, and the report went to
Tennessee, in the midst of the canvass, as it
went elsewhere, that Grant was satisfied with
Walker's election, as well satisfied, iu fact, as if
Wells had been elected. Tins report never
was officially contradicted. It is easy to imagine
thp effect of such an announcement on the
wavering men in Tennessee. The Democrats
and Rebels of Tennessee understood the Walker
movement if Grant did not, and they made the
most of his reticence. Boutwcll and Creswell,
to tie sure, sounded the trumpet, but it did not
have the force that a word from the President
would have had. The conversation with Colonel
Tarbell, of Mississippi, came too late. The
word should have been spoken when ttie Daniels
telegram was received at the White House.
Not Coiiilstont.
Some time ngo the Acting Secretary of the
Treasury issued an order, setting forth that the
clerks of the department must be promptly at
their desks at 0 o'clock in the morning, and that
they must remain there until I' in the afternoon.
Any infraction of this rule was to be punished
with a deduction of the salary of the delinquent
at the end of the month. This was, no doubt,
right in itself. The time of the clerks unques
tionably belongs to the Government, but was it
just the time to issue such an
order when the President, the
members of the Cabinet, and nearly all the
heads of bureaus, were away seckiug pleasure
.mil recreation? if the clerks absented them
selves from their desks and their duties they
merely imitated the example set them by thel
superiors. You could not go into any of the
departments for the last two months without
finding half of the heads of bureaus away
"out of town." As for the beads of departments
thev were not expected to be here, it seems.
Those who have taken the trouble to make the
investigation say there is no more authority of
biw for a hiirh official absenting himself from
his duties than for a miserable clerk.
l)ofn the President Support Pent ?
It Is difficult to ascertain the real truth with
regard to Judge Deut's status with the Presi
dent. As a Republican President or course
Grant could not publicly countenance the course
of his brother-in-law. And yet Dent in private
nnveisation persistently maintains that the
Pretldent's sympathies are all with him. Fur
tiierniore. lie asserts that while the President
cannot very well do anything to aid his election,
he will do nothing to help the regular
Republican ticket iu Mississippi. I have
nn means of ascertaining whether theso
statements are correct. I give them on the au
thoritv of Judge l ent, lie has made them ru
peatedly to various gentlemen. Dent says that
the Prefidcnt, In conversation with him, said
lmt if be thouirht the Southern men were In
earnest, and would keep faith, be (the Presi
dent would give the conservative movement
liU 1'imiest support. His sympathies were all
lmt he was afraid to trut the South
enters. 'This same Judge boasts, with a knowing
mink of his expressionless eye, that houtwell s
reign in the Cabinet will be brief. He also 1;
th.it a majority of the Cabinet are conserva1
but when asked why they don t make the ad
ministration conservative, he says it is owing

this it must be inferred that Boutwell Is some-

From Oar Oxm CorrmpomlenU
New York, August SO, 18C!.
Yesterday afternoon, In one of tho Third Ave
nue cars, I saw
A Womnn'n Hiiffrnup Woman.
She was one of that kind which is made toorder.
She was dressed In brown Holland and a brown-
strnw hat of the form of an Inverted soup plate.
Half the people who Faw her asked who was that
man dressed as a woman, nnd the other half In
quired who was that woman that looked like a
man. No one knew. Of all around her she seemed
totally unconscious. She was busy writing. Her
article was entitled "Crowing Hens, and when
that Is published It will probably bo followed by
another on "Hatching Roosters." She used
small slips of brown paper, and composed with
a blending of feminine facility nnd masculino
malignity. She was the sort of woman whom
you would not like to offend, although in her
youth she might have realized the portrait which
the authoress of "Passion Flowers" in "Pen
dennis" paints of herself at that period:
"A violet slirinklnir menn'.y
Where blows the March wind keenly
A timid fawn,
lly wlldwoixl lawn,
Where oak boughs rustle greenly."
The days, however, when she was a fawn and
a violet have long since elapsed, and life, for
her, has settled down into writing strong-minded
editorials in city railroad cars.
In one of those peregrinations which it is my
pleasure to indulge in occasionally, I stumbled
the other day into a certain piece of ground
which is to the rear of a house on the Bowery,
and found
A Hort of Private Me lingerie.
It is the property of a man engaged in the
wild-beast business, of which there are several
representatives in New York. These gentle
men are naturally fond of wild beasts, and de
vote nil their time and money to Importing
them. The bnck-yard in question is dark and
dirty, overshadowed by the dead walls of
houses intersecting one another, and lined wit'a
cages which contain wild beasts. Upon one
side of you, you hear a lion roar, upon the other
apes gibber nnd leopards change their spots;
for if they don't like one they go to another.
In brief, this place Is one of the most celebrated
wild-beast rendezvous lu New York. Here arc
caged and fed the beasts that subsequently form
the most attractive features of travelling me
nageries and circuses. If you visit one of these
places you vi.-it them all. They have their
good and bad seasons, their agents
and correspondents, their lluctuations of trade,
just as people iu all other businesses have. The
scale of prices of wild beasts in New York is
regulated by their rarity, size, species, and the
expenses attendant upon their capture and keep.
The hippopotamus and the gnu arc tho most
highly prized of all wild beasts. Showmen, in
deed, may be said to be always on the lookout
for something gnu. It brings about $1800; a
hippopotamus brings $5M)0; a lion, 2000; an
elephant, t-iliOO; a giraffe, sf :i()00; a Bengal tiger,
$2000; a leopard, !K)0; a hyena, $500; an os
trich, ifliOO. Within the last threo years one of
the foremost houses have sold six giraffes,
two hippopotami, twenty lions, twelve
elephants, twelve ostriches, and eight hyenas,
making an annual business of about $40,000.
One of the chief occupants of tho menagerial
premises into which I introduced the reader a
few sentences back is a female monkey, who is
the most celebrated pickpocket in New York.
Her name is Vie, and she can whisk the watch
out of your pocket w ith the imperceptible touch
of a Robert Iloudin or a Blitz. Most of these
beasts are cannibals of the deepest dye. A large
trade likewise is carried on in mon
keys, which nre valuable according
to their various capabilities. A boa-constrictor
fetches $:J."0, a black snake $40. These
snakes, like the C hinese, are fond of rats: but if
they are overfed their temper becomes inde
scribably malignant. Their food appears to
affect their brains, and their disease may be said
to be a rush of rats to the head. The bird busi
ness in this, as in all large cities, forms a dis
tinct trade in itself, and shall be treated of some
day iu a separate letter. The nationality of
most of those engaging in the beast business is
German. The principal firm in this city is that
of two brothers in Chatham street. In all New
York, not more than one lfundrcd people, all
told, are in any manner connected with this
unique vocation. Am B.wia.
