Pretty certain we are it will be Sammy Tilden. - Congressman Cassidy, of Nevada, is men who believe that ex Governor Tilden will accept the presi- dential nomination if tendered him by the Democratic National Convention He headed the Pacific coast delegation on a visit to Gramercy : Park, and was out in a long interview giving the inci- dents of that visit. He says that the pub- lished accounts of the visit are wholly fictitious. It was purely a social affair and the visiting Congressmen did not feel to make public what occurred. He furthes states that they found the ex-Governor in robust health, and with intellectual powers as keen and strong as Nothing occurred during the interview, which lasted nearly an hour, which would lead to the belief that Mr. Tilden would net accept the nomination if of- fered him, and Mr. Cassidy says'he came away from Gramercy firm in the convic- tion that he will be nominated and elect. ed, one of the ever, . —t— Every one of the fellows who went up the spout in New York, the other week, In the ruin lies a presidential Had con- [ bill the wicked was a republican magnate. prominently feet up and head in the 1 assed the Morrison tari i on tl boon, nud. gress | blame would have Democrats, 1f - pose Grant gets on the retired list hen looses the $20000 annual in- Sa and come, by another speculation, would it not be in place to give him aspecial pen- gion of another $20,000 per year.

It is now learned that he is here for the purpose of assis.- ing the State Department to negotiate a treaty with Spain for the purchase of Cu- ba. Spain is ready to sell and Freling- huysen is ready to bay. The price is not yet agreed upon, but it is probable that this will be soon settled on. Spain holds Caba now only at a loss, owing to her bad management of the al- fairs of that unhappy island. Twice this Government has nearly purchased Cuba. * Buchanan once nearly bought Cuba for $50,000,000. Hamiiton Fisu once had a treaty all perfect to buy Caba for $350. 000,000, After the treaty had been rati- fied by the executive authorities of the two governments Mr. Fish, before send- ing the treaty to the Senate for final rati- fication, thought in his conservative fash- jon that it would be prudent to send a circular note to the powers asking them if they would object to the purchase, Of course they did, and Mr. Fish never sent the treaty to the Senate. Now the ad ministration has conceived the ida of purchasing Cuba as an of’set to the brill. ignt policy of Mr. Blaine. It is said that Spain is now willing to sell cheap, and that she will take $50,000,000 rather than not sell at all. Cuba might be a fiather in the cap of the Administration.

Beaver without ny further fooling ? am — sain Ward, of the broken firm of Grant & Ward, has been arrested on the charge of swindling. One of the young Grants has gone to Earope. Bail in the actual sam of $300,000 was asked, which Ward did not have much prospect in finding, and he felt a little bad over the turn of affairs. There are some others feeling bad too, Lm 3 AIO Hon.

Such action would entirely wipe out the disgrace of the presidential steal and acquit the party of the charge of endorsing the 8 to 7 work by unanimously conceding Mr, Tilden the po- sition of chief magistrate of the nation of which he was wrongfully deprived in re- 1876. The Republican party could do no more graceful act or anything to cast great- er lustre upon its organization than to let Mr. Tilden be elevated to the presidency opposition, Mr, Tilden in view of the history of the past without This is due Is the Republican party—which has admitted the equal to such an act of justice, and ready frand was perpetrated — to wipe out the great stain that hangs upon nation? If not, Mr. Tilden will be triumphantly elected anyway with the aid of the votes of thousands of the the Republicans who never endorsed great crime of 1876, le ps FOR THE NOT GRANT. SYMPATHY REPUBLIC: Yi 4 git (ieneral Grant fou well as a soldier in the war, We are quite willing that the Government should put him on the retired list at full pay. We favor the bill for that purpose, not from any maudling sympathy with the gambling stockbrok- er, but from sound sympathy with the honor of the nation which is disgraced by his greedy speculative transactions, In the name of national honor and rep- utation, give the ex-President an income him, and let friends seek, if possible, to keep him out of such business in the future, But while d sermons as that of vy $93 04 + aaliaflv ta sufficient to satisfy his so, do not t by such Ir. Beecher and by of a gushing press and encourage him A» the false sentiment condone his offenses to repeat them, ! He was not simple, dear old fellow, he “God bless Gen. Grant to blame; knew nothing of the wrong.” This is the verdict Mr. Beecher claims for the bankrupt broker and solvent ex President. It is worse than fustian ; it is false, Grant was not blameless and simple when he upheld Belknap and Babeock and stood between them and justice. He was not blameless and simple when he made the Black Friday pool with Fisk He was not blameless and simple when he accepted gifs from peo- ple who would be certain to want favors in return. He was not blameless and simple when he held the Presidency for eight years, defyigg public sentiment and debauching public Wrtue, He was not blameless and simple when for years and years every Republican organ puffed him to the very skies as a great, shrewd, keen, wise man. He was not blameless and simple when he degraded Lis office and disgraced his country by stepping from the Presidency and the supreme command of a nation’s armies into a Wall street broker's business to gamble in stocks, If Grant had ‘made $10,000,000 for him- self instead of losing $10,000,000 for oth- ers in his gambling speculations he would have been just as culpable, just as reprehensible as he is now, His offense is in his disregard of the high dignity of his position as the first citizen and the first soldier of the Republic. He has de- graded his titie, and in so doing has de- graded the nation, What claim has such a man on the sympathy of the people ? So says the New York World, EE A The following extracts from the testis mony of Ferdinand Ward before the re- ferea are significant in showing the methods of business which have been go- ing on in Wall street : “Upon all those transactions of what rate of interest or profit di pay 9" : “From my recollection I never paid less than 20 per cent per month.” . - . and Goal i. ours you “What made you pay sach enormons re nrns for the nse of money 7” “That's hard to tell.” “Well, hard in eae sense, but not diffi eult. You must have some reason for paying 20 per cent. a month for the vee money. You were not making that profit, were yon 7” “No, sir.” “And turned some of it over to Grant & Ward?” “Used it in general business in both accounts. I borrowed it from Peter to pay Paul.” The amonnt of it is, you paid these large returns in the name of profits, or interests, or under whatever names you paid them, in order to raise money to pay denis previonsly contracted 7 a depends upon what you mean by “Well, in order to pay or retain this money you had borrowed or receiv you wero willing to contract to pay per cent. a month 7” “You I think that was it.” aye Sidu's So it for the fun of the ing, did you “ri ito avoid the transactions be- condition that you could not pay your debte withont raiging money at the ra e of 20 per cent. a month ? “Certainly two years, haven't you?” “Yes, gir.” The wool growers, principally of Penn sylvaaia and Ohio, had a convention in Their purpose was to deroand a high tariff on wool, 80 ag t prevent importation and give them a chance to fix the price to suit themselves Chicego last week. A woul-growers convention would natur ally be a sheepish affair, and if the peo- ple who wear woolen goods will allow the wool to be drawn over their eyes all they need, pray for is mild winters, — Reasons why it would be to the pblic good to have Tilden for our next Presi dent, are, that he has a splendid record ar That for the crew of jobbers and He is 80 well fixed in this world’s goods- and himself by a dishonest administration, enter his mind.

The fr on to gel a fish adapted to the neocossitigs of all sections. The evidenoe iz accumulating to prove that in the German carp we have a food-fish cap- able of furnishing 10st unlimited sup- plies at very little cost. This fish is of espocial value to the farmers, as it will live in ponds which become so warm that no other fish can exist in them. It is un- necsssary to enlarge upon the added com- fort it would be to a farmer if he could go out and take from his pond a five or six- pound carp which would give him and bis family a good dinner. Any ordinary pond will do for a carp. An excavation in the course of a creek, dammed at the lower end with a grating. so that a flood will not carry the fish away, answers perfectly. The carp will eat almost any- thing, and a pond of four square rods in extent will furnish all the fish-food a family wants. Carp grow from the egg to three pounds in one year. They mul- tiply rapidly, a single female yielding half a million eggs in a year. They spawn in May and June. In the winter they burrow in the mud and remain dor- want, neither making nor losing growth. In the spawning season they must be fed, or they will destroy the spawn. Af other times they neod not be fed, unless there are so many of them in the pond that the aquatic vegetation and supplies brought down by the feeding stream are insuffi- cient. There is scarcely a doubt that a carp-pond would be a profitable adjunct to neatly every farm.

His pictures, of which he has taken several, show the light of the flash, finder the form of long continuous sparks, traversing the atmosphere. With the spark, the landscape is also well produced, and a means is given for estimating the ‘ongth of the luminous train, which, in one instance, is onlenlated to be 1,700 molres, or more than a mile.
