! pointed Mr: Cooke, the President of that
CoMPany, Territorial Governor in Wash
ington,. " thereby enbaucingthe value of
tlee . stock
. of Messrs. Conk°, Grant 4.4
Co." This is • tt total misrepresentation .
of a very -siMple° transaction." Shortly
after - the - .organization' of the Seneca-
Stoneforupany in 1807, nearly a year
before Gen; Grant. seas nominated Presi
dent, he eras invited by Mr. 11. D. Cooke
and otaers.to take'tweuty thousand dol
lars' worth of stock as an' divestment.
. -
He thought well of it, and surely no one
will deny thi4 he was tree to invest his;
money in any enterprise- he choose: lie
had as much right to'ne his money at
his own discretion •as any. other
! citizen.
'Ho invested ten thousand dollars in the

February—stock bought in 18G7; Cooke
appointed 1871—and that appointment
had about, as ' much to do with Seneca
stone as it had with the deposits of-the
Post4erliary period. A
The charge that President Grant quar
rels with Sumner and is friendly V. ith
Nye, &c., and • that he absents himself
from 'Washington during Summer, we
leaye people to form their own opinion
about. The accusation that Somebody
very near to • the Presidential .. person
waS engaged in the "gold gambling"
affair of Fisk and Gould, is utterly re
futed by Jay Gould's own evidence, as
published in the ofiieial report of the in
vestigation, by the Forty-first Congress.
The President himself gave the order to
sell gifid on the infamous -"l3liclr. Fri
day"—that order which
.Ifiought the
conspiracy to ant end. The only man
who everattempt&l to drag-Gen. Grant's
name into' the tmneactiou •vras Jarnes
Fisk, jr.,—a notorious thief-and swind
ler; Is there any respectable 'man or..
woman in this country who would suffer
his or her estimation Of a friend's char
acter to be lowered by anything James
Fisk, jr., might say? And yet the Presi
dent of the United States • is to *con
domed by party papers, on the evideude
of a man Who has committed the worst
hind of. offenses against the law, and
who, to the eternal 'disgrace of the
'judges - tle• administer that law, is - still
revelling in bis stolen nealth, insteadof
breaking stone in' Sing Sing. • .
As to the - objections to Gini.
course on public affairs, we do not pro
fes's to answer them now ; we merely
repeat our 0,15 , 11 4pinioll,,that iii the main
his policy is a sound, wine, and benefi
cial ono. A,,mlin of purer private life
th'an Gen. Grant never' ofeupied the
Presidential 'chair. Is it justis it
worthy'of,the President's position, or of
this great nation—that ho should bo
called to .account at any eminent; by
every disappointed office-seeker who
chooses to invent a now slander against
him? We have replied to theseclarges
because by conktnnt 'repetition, they'
might have imposed upon credulous
minds. The more thoroughly they are
sifted, the-inure shamefully falser and
malicious they Will appear. We believe ;
that the Majority of the people
upon these ealumnies with indigna:'
tion. They have mado thousands'
of friends 'for the President, among
,that quiet and thoughtful Class
;of the community , which rarely basics
itself actively in politics,'but. which ' ad_

"That is the true government," said

of the courts. What I Mean to Alisort in

whole of till's 'ytuntirous machinery

through with mistakes which naafi° it in
a certain percentage of instances the
organ of 'nothing but injustice and,

when he enters the dourt, and I' shall
remind you that the old maxim was
that the' Icing could do no wrong ; and
although- we borrowed nothing from
England butrtain fundamental forma

rage that the State can do no wrong;
and the consequence of it is (which ; I_
might enlarge upon in approaching the

manner, but in picking-up the trifle of
the individual, I am going to cerium)
myself to the courts. • . I served-once as

Then there was awonder of wonders
—the Carlisle Band. - How I "wish I
could listen now with one-tenth- the
delight to Dodstv.b.rtles__or....llassloes,
that I then experienced in' bearing the
strains of that extraordinary group° I

. inbm. about as much pleasure to watch the
Inflated cheeks of Dan Fisher, George
Stnith,:(Gehtleman George,) Joe Givin,
and Jim drover,-as they played on their
elarionetn, or the still greater distension
of those of Levi Wheaton, as he poured
himself outinto his huge bass Sii•pent,
or the white face, turned red, of Sam
Alexander, as 'he labored on his Kent
Bugle, as.it was to listen to the diversi
fled sounds that proceeded from their
various instruments. Then how grand old
Black looked, us-he-leaned-back beyond
the.perpendictilar, 'and with his head in
the air and his Las sdruM on his belly,
poutided awry with - an accuracy Of . time
and a grace of flourish impossible to'he
excelled ! Then 'there was MoGonigal
with his bassoon, and Swartz with his
cymbals, and a boy '" Gtfards"' Uni

pleasure d9rivo4' from the two latter
game -altogether Ilirotiihthe . medium of
the eje ; auricularly, they were like
religion -without- - faith, nothing' but
~ ‘souirding.brass and tinkling cymbals."
Then, not to be forgotten, as alternat
ing with the band when on the march,.!
were 'SSAvney Mitchell and Sam Eaoe,-
With their rattling chum and oar-piercing
fife. Who, that ever heard the inevita
hlawney or the inimitable Sam, cap
forget the shrill and soul-stirring sounds
with which they wore wont to wake up
the old echoes I As for the band, I hear
it now in the cells of my rdeniory just as
it used to Sound % at a little distance, in
my 'boyish years. And I see_Captain
Halbert, with his tall and manly form,
turning to give . the, word 'of, command,
and Orderly Sergeant Jones, the inde
fatigabhs Drill Master, seeing to its
execution.
Then there were the Infantry, a com
pany I never fancied mach—chiefly,
perhaps, because they had no band.
But they were generally held in high
repute, and Bill Morrisoq their drum
mer, was fully equal to Sawnoy.
Then there were the Ilussars, whose
chief attraction was the red-coated bu
gler. Andy Scott usually served in that
capacity, - 11.4gh 0 the place was some
times tilled " by John Sponslor—that
many-talented genius, who could Walk
the wire, stew oysters, blow rocks, keep
sweat-ciloth,
,and do at least a hundred
other things in a style that adrnitted of
no superiority. Doctor Foulke was the
Captain of that Cavalry company, and
Dickey Miles 'was one of its members.
hardly Itnow..how those two man; so
little resoinbling each other, should
stand couiled)in my memory, unleas it
is,
.that I saw the . Doctor' once handle
Richard - rather roughly, because he re
fused to obey an order. . .
Then Omni, was a new company,
formed by, Bill Breckenridge— (excuse
my irreverence—that dias the name he
-Was known by among his cotemporaries)
-called tho Artillery. This company
i3 — bra SS - Ca tiiioh; - ,had•lt s

and, being something of a novelty,.was
very popular with the boys: A.lt 1 those
were haldyon days ! (Though hetween

live over again, I think 1 tsUuld turn
them to better'advantage.)
Then there was the Carlisle 'Dar of
