Thr.t: star route investigation has
proved a mine of discovery - for the

a lsrge gain seen red by a new contract

there may - be such a result as carrying
the excision of Star route to to excess.
Already there come up - complitints . from

it should be understood that these far

more than mere letters and newspaper

General Grant An. ;Tmperiallst.
A t epos let ,Ot One Of 111 e - Chicago
papers had an interview a few days
since with Gen. Grant, on the subj,.it,
of the trtptinent of Mr.Conkling. by
the liresiidleut and Mr.- Blaine, iu which
the General gives, in a plain, straight
forward manner, his view of the' situa
tion. lie says that without Mr. Conk
ling's aid New, York State - .would not
havi. gene Republican at the late elec
tion, and then recites the assistance
Coukling rendered to Mr.. Giirtield,
after his nomination. With. regard to .
the treaty of Mentor, the sensational
reports, of that occurancr, he avers do
not contain a syllable of truth. Not
a iword was said to Gen. •Gartield by
himself or Mr. Conkling while on
visit to the former's hotise, which could
in any manner whatever be construed
into a trade or bargain With the Presi
dent elect. The conversation, was
open, and could be !leaf(' by every One
of the numerous persons present: lie
dellues what he considers: "Senatorial
courtesy," thus:
"That when the President makes - au
appointment in any Stale and i. fails
to diet the approval of the two Senators
fro::: that State, the matter ends there
and the nomination is-rejected. If the
RepUblican Senators from anir - State
object to any nothinations the rest of
the party'is expected to . support them
in the matter without exception. The
same is of course true of the Democrats,
but in this case it was a coalition agairad
Crinkling and - he accepted as such."
The selection of Mr. Robertson for
Collector of New York by the Presi
dent, Gen. Grant considers as . an in
sult t 9 Mr. Conkling, and intended as
such, Robertson being his pe ual And
political i•uemy; and it woul 'liot have
been done if Mr. Blaine had not been
in the Cabinet: The 'interl•ietd shows
that whatever may be said of the course
Mr. Coukling has seen- proper , to take,
it is clear that Gen. Grant stands by
his friends which is somewhat 'of an
amomelY, especially in politics. .

interview with the President this af

was for the Republicans of Virginia to

WASHINGTON
So much has been printed about
rumored disagreements in the Cabinet,
for the purpose of influencing the
public mind; that many uninformed
persons are of thee opinion , that there .
must be some foundation for the stor
-les.. So far as the prosecution of the
Star route -cas . es is. concerned, all of
the Cabinet are agreed that nu stone
should :be left unturned to discoer
whetherithe government has been
swindled Or, not - ;, and if frauds have
been committed`-''' that their authors
shall be severely punished. There is
nova shadow of discord or difference
of Opinion among the President's. ad
visors on the Subject. The .Preside.nt
and his cabinet are working r in com•
plete accord, and . all reports to- the
contrary are totally false.
Mr. NfacVeigh seems to have ',been .
singled out by the members: of the
ring and 'their friends as a target for
maliciously untrue statements. He is
the person most dreaded by the .cul
prits, and they lose no opportunity- of
striking 'at him.. The 'statement that
he wrote a letter toil Philadelphia edi
tor saying that he 'felt the sand slip
ping from under his feet (Meaning
that he thought be would be conven
ed to leave the Cabinet,) . is. utterly
without foundation. No member of
the cabinet has a more Certain tenure
of office than the Attorney General.

liared- under the special direction of

The Albany troubles are no nearer
settlement apparently than they were a
month ago, So much genius, and.skill
and diplomacy ,pending its Strength
for naught has attracted the attention
of that pills , of feinale suffrage, Mrs,
ElizAietli Cady Stautun, who, naturally
enough, protests against this waste of
raw material, which might just as *well
be diverted into the more hopeful as
well as the mote hungry field of wom
en's rights. She appeals to Mr. Con-k
-ling, therefore, iu most eloquent terms;
to draw off his talents' from the New
• York Legislature and .address' • them to
the cause, of female dentistry.
That the Women of-the Empire State
should not be privileged to pull' and

outrage, but such, indeed, appears
_to
be the case. We therefore deeply sym

inquires, with deep indignation, "On
what principle of ! justice and common
sense shall one-half the citizens of this
great-State of New York be told that
if they-wish to pursue the profession of
dentistry they must emigrate to Penn
sylvania? While the Crown - Princess

We shall await with intense interest
the result of Mrs. Stantoo's•intenen
tion at Albany. She strengthens ,her
argument by a personal • appeal tq the
!tell-known chivalrieoafiire of the ex-
Senator and calls upon him while he

has his armor on and his patriotic ;steel
is trembling in the air to hurl his lance
at this monstrous injustice. She shows
him that, the refusal of the New York
Dental College to admit women is "a
far more — momentous. question than
whether Mr. Robertson be Collector -of

Kansas presents an interesting fields
for this stady. And among the most
useful specimens we find gypsum, lime
stone. sandstone, salt, lead .and
silver in small 'quantities, in combina

and gas or burning . wells.
I-Gypsum (or sulphate of. lime) is
found in many placer in Kansa.... In
the western part ot, the State (particu•
larly iu Wallaca county) it is foiled in
the clay shules in beautiful compound

Thousand crystals unite in forming one
leaf-like structure. • These are • said to
be superior in arrangement and beaut
to any Other part of the 11. S..
Near the junction of the Big and
Little Blue rivers lies another heavy
bed of gypsum. It varies from three to
ten feet in thickness and appears to un
derline four townships: Another deposit
is found on the Smoky Hill river.
Covers an area of a hundre4 and sixty
miles. Some of the thin seams con
sist of beautiful pure gypsum, varying
from pink to white. In other !daces
the stratum grows massive, often six
teen feet in thickness, and even more
in some places.
This gypsum when ground is used as .
plaster. This plaSter is excellent for
grasses.and grain and will be of great
value to the farmers. Is particularly
useful in retaining the moisture thus
rendering it available to the roots of
plantS in dry weather and counteract
ing the drying and evaporating effect
of-sun and wind.
When ground and boiled thus expell

to be equal to any found in the Eastern
States.
Limestone is found in almost every
formation. It is the most abundant
and best building material, iu the state.
In the upper. cretaceous it is generally
in the •form of chalk—more or less im
pure isud usually too soft for building
heavy:walls, though' stones of sufficient

finow•lton, and Miss Cassia. The other dis
cusses tho much talked of "Decoration in
the Seventh Regiment Armory," and is ac
companied by numerous and detailed' draw
ings by Mr. Brennan of the principal designs
in the Veteran's Room and the Library—the
work of an association of artists which is
likely to have a decided influence upon in
terior decoration in this country. Politics is
,represented by a first paper of •'The People's
problem," by Albert Stickney, Esq., onthor
of " - A True Republic." The writer considers
the Boss system and the Machine from a
hlest.rlool paiuti or tiiay. awl with vigor and
originality. He does not prophesy smooth
things, but shows up American politics in a.
very interesting and alarming way. • In- stfc
ceeding paperalhe will give some suggestions
looking toward a remedy for the present state
.ot attains. In fiction there ere- the conclud
ing parts of•Mr.Cabel's "Madame Delphine"
and Mr. Howell's . "Fearful Responsibility,"
and a-second installment of humorous folk
lore of Georgia, under ; the title "A Rainy
r Day with Uncle Remus—the [titles being en•
titled, "Mr. - Rabbit secures a mansion"—"Mr:
Lion hunts for Mr. Man. anti finds him"
"The story of the Pigs"—"Mr. Benjamin
Ram and his - wonderful Fittlle"—"Mr. Raft
bit's Riddle." "Dr) Dollinger and the Old
Catholic Movement in" Germany" is 'treated
candidly by Prof. George P. Fisher, of Yale
College, and the fide portrait of Dollinger, by
Lenbach, is engraved--by-Fred. Jnengllng,
the size of 'the - Scribner page. An illustrated
paper of special interest is "The Sea-Hortie"
(walrus) by Henry W. Elliott, who was the
first to ;disariminate the Atlantic ftom the
Pacific species, and who writaa from in tiniat e
personal knowledge of the subject. Of par
ticular interest to Philadelphians is Mr. Mau
rice F. Egan's account. of .‘,. I A Day in the
Ma'sh"—such being no local name for the
swampy resorts of railand reed birds on the
lower part of the peninsula, between the
Delaware and Schuylkill rivers: The field is
one entirely now to. the magazines, and the
picturesque and sporting aspects of it are
fully treated by writer and artists. "An Old
Virginian," by-John Esten Cooke, is a study
of the courtly typo of F. F. V., which, he
says, is rapidly passing into, history. "Rail
way, Churchyard, and, Cemetery Lawn-
Planting" is a brief and suggestive illustrated
paper by Samuel Parsons, Jr. Perhaps the
'most popular paper in the number is Mr.
Murfree'a illustrated and descriptive account
of "The Levees of the Mississippi"—a topic
which is just now of special moment to the
central and southern sections of the country.
The writer, however, does not deal with the
economic or scientific 'sides of. the ititijeet,
but with the "big water of 1414," the practi
cal construction of the levees, flc,htineti; cre
vasse, rte.. ,
In the departments, which:bare the !usual
amount dud variety, may be Made of Ili din
cussion of co-operation, by a reviewer who
thinks America an unfavorable field for it, a
sketch of old, New York Bohemiauistn, and
accounts of an improved system of ventila
tion, gas' fuel, combined plow and harrow,
Sprite "Sonnets from the Afwhanbse"
appear in: "Bric-a-Brac."
, • The July number of the Noillt. American
liecietn bears the usual characteristic of
timeliness. 'Carl Ceiturz leads off with a sug
gestive paper on "Present Aspect's of the
Indian Problem," in which he disciisses the
Indian obstacle in the way of the country's
development, the harmonizing of the habits,
occupations - and interests of the red men, the
necessity of educating their youth,the making
of the men themselves small' land proprietors,
and the offering of inducem'ents to them to
sell fur a fair compensation 'the lands they do
not cultivate. Next 'a caustic writer gives
the views of "A Yankee .Farmer" on "The
Religious Conflicts of the Age," to the dis
comfiture of the modern Agnostic, Moralist
and Evolutionist. Another trenchant article
is "The-Power of Public Plunder," by Jatil . es
Parton, which appears to the sons of our nien
of character and wealth, on patriotic grounds,
to enter into politics, and becoine the safe
guard! of their country against' rings and
bosses. Mr. Henry George dwells on "The
Common Sense of Taxation." "The Cost of
Cruelty" is 'preiented by Mr. Henry Bergh,
and "A Study of Tennyson" comes from the,
pen of Mr. Richard Henry Stoddard.
Goodey's Lady's Book for. July. is a gem in
its 'entirety. ; The Fashion Plates, Steel
Plates, general illustrations, and the literary
Contents combine to make this old favorite
leader of the Fashion periodicals the best
that is before the public.' Quite a lengthy
and highlientertaining novel from the pen
of- "Sue Chestnutwood," and the usual array
of stories and miscellaneous matter frdm ex
cellent authors. The July number begins
the one hundred and third volume, which of
itself speaks well for the - hold that the maga
zine has upon the lovers of pure literature.
The beautiful steel plate pictures, from origi
nal designs by F. 0. C. Barley, are alone
worth the subscriptiOn price. Any of our
readers who do not take the Lady's Book can
be supplied, promptly, by leaving their or
ders at this office. The publisher" agree t
start a subscription with any month you may
