The London correspondent of the Boston Post
furnishes the following additional information
concerning Adah Isaacs Menken :
" Nienken's epitaph, 'Thou knowest,'
brings n..inf.tr thoughts than she ever prompted
durifig,he
r life except id. her intimate friends,
who, to - do her justice, never had an ill word for
her. It is a curious tircumstance that actors,
and especially actresses, are hardly ever religious,
hardly ever infidel, hardly ever have utterry bad
consciences, and hardly ever lose an abiditig sense
of the Infinite mercy of God. All these things
- teasedin—voln—sr, - - -- ,,eppaE - 5 -- rivo - ivords for
her tombstone, and they probably express very
accurately the dill depths of her consciousness
depths which no one would imagine a woman of
her stamp to possess. But what was her stamp?f3ha
ust going to publigh a volume of poems
which by a coincidence she had named "In
(dicta." This will probably tell us what there
was in her. She had laid herself out from early
life to be a female fascinator a role which there
is great temptation in America for a woman to
adopt; and it is quite certain that - though those
who did not meet her, and some who did,
laughed at her fascinations, many succumbed to
them. There is no fiction in the accounts of her
continual grand receptions at Paris. and though
her peculiar public appearances might, no doubt,
account for the private crowds, she could not
have maintained it in. Paris without some con
versational ioowers. She was also a vivacious
and regular letter-writer. Her acquaintances in
_England ranged over many grades of society.
Swinburne was a most constant visitor. This
may have been bravado, or an affectation of car
nality, or an assertion of l'aganism. Swinburne,
great as he is, is not above each weaknesses, but
the intimacy is undoubted, and it did not wear
off. Menken's verse is said to have been very
rhapsodical, and some of it sensuous, to say the
least. An American, well known in Liverpool,
and everywhere respected, was agent for Miss
Menken, and sitting one night in the Neptune,
in Clayton square, he assisted at a discussion
on the private characters of distinguished theatri
cals. This was a , point on which he was very
definite in his persuasions. lie listened in silence
a good while, and then thus characteristically
broke out. Striking the table emphatically, bat
Without violence, he said. Well, my star's
moral; and any one says my star'—meaning
Menken—' isn't moral, I m in fora big fight.
Who-says - the--age-of-chivalry-is-past? - -No
one took up the enthusiastic agent's chal
lenge. So Idenken's morality must be
allowed to have stood the ordeal by battle.
Her most inconvenient, if not her worst fault
was a - habitof -,- wilit expense. She would
buy carriages and diamonds at moments when
she was actually in want of .£5, and , expect her
poor man of business to find the money fo
them. A felv• - • - rejlts ago she was playing her la; t
engagement (at Sadler's Wells), she came to the
theatre arrested, with the Sheriff's officer in her
carriage, and an hour and a half passed with a
crowd surrounding before an arrangement could
be made enabling tier to play. Poor woman, she
was soon to playher last hour en this scene; and
in her death, and with her epitaph in - Uaind, her
figure seems to take other than the, garish:vulgar
hues in which we have all been accustomed to re
gard her."' ' • -

IBEW JEEVSET MATTERS.
Wmaxo Ur.;—There is a general waking up
fimovz the friends of Grant and Colfax and the
Republican party generally throughout the First
congressional District. Arrangements are being
made for holding meetings everywhere; able
speakers are being secured, and an unusual in
terest is manifested. The Democrats, seeing the
absolute folly of their attempts to carry their
ticket, simply content themselves with keeping
up appearances, holding an oceaalonal meeting,
for the purpose of maintaining an organization.
Accipmirr.—A man named John B.• Morgan,
while passing Washington Hall on - Thursday
evening, during the firing of a salute by the
Democratic Association, was knocked down by
the discharge of the cannon and was bidly in
jured. His face was very badly burned. War
rants have been issued for the apprehension of
the persons firing it.
Tim 811ERIPPALTY.—The contest between the
different candidates for the nomination to the
Sheriffalty waxes warmer and warmer, and the
struggie to secure the delegates is amusing and
interesting. Candidates all good humoredly say
that the primary meetings are the places to make
the issue, and then go heartily in to support who
ever is the fortunate nominee.
THE NEW FEP.Wr BOAT.—The new ferry boat
for. the.Wcat Jersey Company is almost finished,
and-the trial trip - Wilt be - arranged foria a couple
of weeks. This is a splendid craft, the largest of
any crossing the river between the two cities.
GLoccasrzn Coo* srry,—The courts of Glouces
ter county will commence their September term at
Woodbury on Tuesday next. It is said that a
number of interesting cases are to be tried.
DEMOCRATIC Ccolvzsrrrox.—The Democratic
Congressional Convention has been called at
Salem, on the 16th of September, to nominate a

WABOINGTON, Aug. 28, 1868.—The New York
Hera/dislyesterdey contained two outrageoludY
Incorrect statements respecting the Treasury
.Department. The first was that a $l,OOO co_ unter
felt seven-thirty bond had been , re
deemed by Gamut Spinner, 11. S. Treasure; and
converted into a five-twenty.
,
The other story was that a, $5OO 12per cent.
interest note,llaued by Rowell Cobb, which had
been pronounced counterfeit when first presented
5t44.-Treasiary, and was subsequently redeemed
and the full amount paid, with interest.
Desirous of ascertaining What truth there
might be in these statements!, I'waited on Gen.
Spinner,•and in regard to the first story—the re
•deniption of the alleged cotinterfelt seven-thirty
bond—he declared it to be absolutely and unqual
ifiedly false. He said not one of the alleged
counterfeit bonds,- about which so much noise
was made a year ago—had been preauted at the
Treasury for several 'months past perhaps for
six or dght months—and as for converting one
Into five-twenties, the time had passed during
which this could be done. •8o much for that
As for the other story, he said there was some
truth in it, but the main facts were incorrectly
stated, in so far that he had pronounced the $5OO
note genuine, which he denied, The discussion
of these circumstances brought out some inter
esting facts touching the manner in which How
ell Cobb, of Georgia, managed the affairs of the
Treasury Department dating the latter part of
James Buchanan's administration, that I feel in
clined to give the history of this note, so far as
disclosed at this interview, to show what ideas of
honor and honesty actuated the "chivalrous"
Cobb, who, just now, is declaiming against the
"profligacy and corruption" of the "Radical ad
ministration"—meaning the Radical Congress—
for Johnson, as an Executive officer, is the pink
of perfection in the eyes of Cobb.
It is well known that before the rebellion com
menced, Cobb did all he could to destroy the
credit of the Government, which he represented
as bankrupt in money and credit, and one of , the
means allowed him by Congresslo raise money
was the Isaias. of intesest-hearing notes, which
were sold to bankers, brokers and capitalists, at
ruinous ratescCobb-himself fixing the rate of in
terest from 5 to 12% per cent. per -.annum,
and he issued these. notes in almost unlimited
quantities. On one occasion, les went to New-
York with a "carpet-bag" fall of these notes.
which he sold to brokers and others, at their own
rates, mostly at" twelve per cent. interest; w,hen
the Government could reidily have obtained all
the money it needed at ,aix per cent.' There is
a strong suspicion that the unfaithful Cobb
pocketed a very handsome sam by this operation,
slob be either appropriated to his owns pr ivate
purposes, or turned over as "assets" to the "rebel
government at Richmond. These notes amounted
in'the aggregate to a large sum, all of which has
since been honorably rWeemed by our Govern
ment, at the usurious rates contracted for.
The note referred to in the Herald was pre
sented several years ago forredemption, but pay
ment was , refused, on the ground that, although
it was printed from the genuine plate, it hiid
been tampered with, by the number being al
tered, which was proved by comparing it with
the "stub" bearing the same number in the book
showing the number of notes leaned; and, be
sides, the piece remaining in the book had a
small "nick" or irregular , edging, which was
done when the note itself was removed from the
book, and the note presente:d for payment
did not fit the "stub' in• the book., which
proved conclusively that it did not represent
the number which it purported to do.
Under these circumstances, General Spinner was
opposed to redeeming it, and the matter remained
unsettled for a year or more, when an opinion was
given by the Comptroller of the Treasury that.
us the engraving of the note was genuine, and it
had evidently been issued from the Department,
and been circulated, the government was in
honor bound to pay i t. The Secretary of the
Treasury acquiesced in this decision, and the full
amount -of-the face of—the -- no .-, n: year s
interest, $6O, was paid to the holders, a New
York firm, against the opinion of the Treasurer,
General Spinner, who held that the note was
void, on account of the figures having been al
tered. So this is the history of that transaction.
Nobody pretends to deny that the holders did
not pay the full value of the note. but the pre
tlimption is strong that this and Many other
evidences of Government indebtedness were ap
propriated by Cobb to his own personal use, or
taken with him to Richmond to assist the rebels
in their revolutlonary movements.
During the latter part of his administration, he
scattered these notes around lavishly, as he never
expected they would be paid, because the rebel
lion watt then culininating, and he felt confident
the - existing government would be overthrown.
cowl KNOWS THE .DIFFEBENCE BETWEEN SHEEP
SKM AND CALFSKIN.
As an evidence of the reckless manner in which
Cobb managed the affairs of the Treasury Depart
ment, I might mention that on one occasion he
and Gen. Spinner had a fierce dispute as to the
difference between calfskin and sheepskin for the
binding of the account books used in the-Trea
sury. Cobb had let the contract to certain
parties to bind these books with calfskin, which
is more expensive than sheepskin, but after the
lapse of some time Gen. Spinner discovered that
the books were being bound with., sheep
skin, which cost much less money.
He called Cobb's attention to this, when
the latter said, impudently, that Spinner
did norkriow the difference between- the two,
which "riled" the bluff old Spinner considerably,
and he retorted in his honest, characteristic style. _
ThisTkowetlirThlid - dro no effectupon Cobb, who
allowed-the-frand-togo oni-and - absolutely paid
the contractors the contract price for their
work, notwithstanding they had furnished an in
ferior and cheaper material. The only inference
is, that he divided the-spoils with his favorites,
for no honest officer would be guilty of permit-
tintir winking at, such a dishonest transaction.

On Sunday; Angttat B—only a little over a fort
night ago—Franklilair was at St.' Joseph, Mo.,
.on-his way to. the mountains, to . attend to his
duties as one of the Commissioners of the Pacific
Railroad. No train running from •St. Joseph to
Connell Bluffs, he hired some railroad laborers to
take him through on a hand car. With a fhll
supply
: of Frank's favorite beverages • aboard,
they started, but on reaching Hamburg,. In Fre
mont county, of this State, they .had become so
"demoralized" that they laid up for repairs.
Arriting there in the afternoon—and stopping at
the railroad eating home kept by Mr. Sco
ville—the distinguished genius of the new
revolution bad his presence announced
to the faithful, who soon came flock
ing to pay due homage to their chief.
Well, it so transpired that they "homaged" too
much, and by 8 or 9 o'clock the . ..party were as
drunk as even Democrats ever get,and the "head
centre" was the booziest of them all. The noise
of the convivialiets attracted quite a crowd, and
it said that Blair gave them more antics, .cute
_gage, and ground-and-lofty tumbling, than they
had ever seen in the circus. So drunk did he
finally become, that he was picked up from. ,the
floor and carried bodily to bed by two men and
put away out of sight of the tittering crowd.'
These statements are true and indisputable.
We have the testimony of several , rellable men
who saw all we hive related, and more too:
Mr. Scoville, the proprietor of the hotel, expres 7

British Estimate of a eneral Grant.

thus refers to one Of our, own countrymen:
"A biography of General Grant appe.arsoppor
timely, and no doubt intentionally & just on the
eve of the Presidential electioe. But at any time
the record of the life of one really great General
whom the North has produced, must be interest
ing and valuable, not only to his countrymen,
but to the world at large. :Grant's character ap
pears to be that whiclr we habitually associate
- with military berolstu—that of the simple, modest,
unaffected, but somewhat silent and reserved
soldier, apt to disdain civilian interference and
ignorant criticism in matters professional, but
paying to civil law and to-civil authority a true
soldierly obedience."

The Memphis Post says : The rebels of Helena,
Arkansas, are so hard pushed to secure the com

they have been compelled to offer them the

dress of the Democrats of Charleston, S. C., to
the negro voters:
--We-see-and--know-that you are httrrying on
into great and immediate trouble and dang•er to
yourselves and your race. You are proposing to
bring on a conflict between yourselves and'ountelved.
If it comes—if you bring on that conflict, It will
be a conflict between your race and our race.
There are indications that you already think
yourselves prepared - for this conflict. Yon have
for some time practised aggressive and hostile
conduct toward us. You have assembled as a
party or class, and you have deliberately inter
rupted us in our meetings, insulted and assaulted
individuals, among ne, pelted our houses with
stones, insulted our families by vulgar and pro
fane language, disturbed the night quiet by un
earthly whoops and screams, threatening "death
to the rebels"—meaning ourselves; assaulted and
threatened the police and police stations
of the city. You are arming and drilling
In warlike practices, and this for aggres
sion and' attack, not for defence; because
you have no cause or pretence of cause
for expecting aggression of attack from us. You
have never been olisturbed, not even in your riot
ous and disorderly conduct. We, of course,
know that you are urged and enticed on toward
this great danger and - trouble by wicked white
men. We know them, who they are, and all
about them; what they say, and 'what they are
doing, and we also know, better than' they or yen
can know, the sure and swift penalty'which will
fall twee Particular men when the conflict begins;
But this will not then save you. Yon will not
then be excused because you have been deluded
and cheated by these infamous men.

Gen. Rosecrans is in constant communication
with the President, and one of his Secretaries
said to me, this evening, that he (the Secretary)
had the whole'plan in confidence from General
Rosecrans before he started for White Sulphur
Springs. the General evidently stands on the
-pewee-platfo.o indicated - in - 1M Blair letter, and
has no hesitation in saying that the negroes_
should not vote in the Southerg States. From
this resume of the General's 'sentiments it is easy
to see that the document, if one should be put
forth, will be a genuine anti-negro, Copperhead
production, intended -to !Mister up Seymour and
Blair, defeat Grant, and float the ex-Rebels of the
North and-of the South into;power. •-

About 4 o'clock yesterday an alarm of Ere
called all the available force , f the fire depart

discovered that a terrible tire watrunder full head

The:firemen lost not a moment in commencing
the battle,' butfrom the first it was apparent.
- the drug hotumFwat "gone up," and they, there.
fore, exerted .themseives to confine the games
within as narrow bounds as possible.
The Are , worked' its way southward into the
second story of NO. 208, the lower part of which
building was occupied by Hughes, Chance it
Fletcher, wholesale dealers in wines, liquors and
cigars, and the upper floors as a store.honee by
Brown, Weber ct Graham, consuming everything
- within its path and reach. The -flames, after
fairly " - eating up" building No. 210 and contents
and the upper stories of 208 and contents, at
tacked the rear of 206, occupied by J. Merryman,
wholesale dealer in sugars and syrups, and agent
of Belcher it Co. They managed to- get a little
headway here, but a flood of water quickly placed
the ruthless destroyer hors du combat at this point..
The fire also hit the rear of No. 116 Pine street,
occupied by Messrs. Stolle' it Benson. wholesale
tobacco merchants, but their loss will be slight;
by water alone.
Losses - Awn emmuecz.
Messrs. Brown, Weber, it Grahani estimate the
valve of their stock at nearly' $lOO,OOO. They
think they_ may be able to save from $5OOO to
$lO,OOO worth from the wreck. The safe was
covered by debris, but it is confidently believed
that all the books and papers of the firm are in
a good . state of preservation. Messrs. Brown,
Weber Jr, Graham were insured for $80,500 in the
following companies :

OBITUARY.
' TD L. t-C •% I aLa IngElliott.
The body of Mr. Elliott, the distinguished ar
tist, which arrived here from Albany on Thurs
day was convoyed to the National Academy of
Design, in Twenty-third street, where it lay until
2.30 o'clock yesterday afternoon. During the
day a very large number of persons availed
themselves of the opportunity to pay the last
tribute of respect to the deceased. The
coffin, a very handsome rosewood one,
with ornaments of frosted silver, was placed
in the last of the suite of rooms on the first floor
of the building. At the foot of the coffin wits an
anchor, formed of japonicas, the gift of Mrs. S.
P. Avery. On the wall were placed . the palette,
brushes and mall stick of the deceased, with his
certificate as a member of the. Adademy of
Design dated 1853. This palette was presented
to Mr. Elliott about twenty years ago, by Mr.
Cafferty, and on Elliott's decease his. family re
turned it to Mr. Cafferty's keeping.
Among the artists present yesterday we noticed
Messrs. T. Addison Richards, Eastman Johnson,
S. J. Guy, W. J. Hays, W. H. Powell, Latuit
Thompson, David Johnson, J. F. Weir, and
Messrs. Paige, Palmer, Baker , Cafferty, Boyle,
James _Hart, Hicks, , Magrath Fiser, Blauvelt,
Lang, Thayer, Fagniani and Calverly.
At 2 o'clock, Rev. Mr. Birch, of whose congre
gation the deceased was formerly a member,
made a-brief address, in - which . he - arookirtortheT
deceased's love of religious exercises, and of his
of temper; and .
simplicity
of character. Notwithstanding the fact that he
had attained so high a position in his profession
he appeared to be unconscious of his own merits,
and to the tyro in art he was ever a firm friend
and kindly adviser. He died while at
:mpting-te-give-u . :I et : :spree on
relation to the profession he loved so well. The
reverend'gentleman concluded with a brief prayer,
- after, which the friends of the deceased gathered
round the coffin Ao take a last look at the features
of him they , had known so well. The countenance
presented a rather emaciated appearance, indi
cating thitt the deceased had suffered much dur
ing his' last:illness. -
At 2:80 P. M. the body was borne from the
Academy and conveyed to Greenwood, where it
'Offish° deposited temporarily in the receiving
;vault.
