When General Grant arrived at the ho tel at Houston, Texas on his way North, it was noticeable, writes a correspondent of the St. Louis Globe Democrat, that among the colored people who flocked to see the General were many old negroes who had been slaves, and naturally, in their humble way, come to express their gratitude to one who had so much to do in knocking off their shackles. As Grant stepped on the platform such expressions were heard from those poor creatures as they strained their old eyes to catch a glimpse of General Grant: "Hat's him; bress the Lor' I'se seen him." "Dai's de boss; God bless his soul." "Hat's the ole j man what'll make 'cm stan' aroun'; he ain't afearcd o' none o' 'em." One old ne gress, half blind, said; "I'se seed him 'n my prayer done been hear'n ; dat's de las' I'll see of the Gineral." An incident occurred while the proces-! sion was moving that caused much talk. A young resident of Houston, who had never smelled gunpowder on either side during the war, approached Gen. Grant's carriage and shouted at the top of his voice, "Ilurrah for Jeff. Davis." Colonel Tracy turned to General Grant and said: "You see, General, that in a city like ours, with a population of 25,000, we have at least one fool." General Grant replied: "Yes; there are fools all over the world " It may bo added that the young black guard was heartily cursed be the ex-Con federates present, who were among the first to extend General Grant a warm and hearty welcome to their State and city. The outrage upon the colored cadet at West Point is utterly abominable. The young fellow whose only crime is the skin which his Maker gave him, is found on the floor in the barracks, bound hand and foot, with one ear cut off and the other gashed, and his head bruised. His story is that three masked men entered the room during the night, jumped upon him, choked him, and finally tied his feet to the bedstead. One of them remarked that the proper thing to do was to mark him as they do hogs in the South. So they then got to work at his ears. General iScliolield must go to the bottom of this business. If the three men who did this thing are cadets they should be dismissed from the service, and branded with the words "Coward and Bully." ' A remarkable funeral scene was witn essed at Calvary (Episcopal Church, New York, yesterday. Robert N. McCurdy and Herman 1). Aldrich, two old mer chants, who had passed their entire lives in each other's company, and w ho died on Monday last almost at the same moment, were buried together. The Des Moius County (Iowa) Republi can convention yesterday elected sixteen delegates to the State Convention. A res olution was adopted by the convention that while preferring the nomination of Gen. Grant, it was opposed to sending an instructed delegation. The convention was enthusiastic for Grant. A Salt, Lake dispatch says that Repub licans, dissatisfied with the action of the Territorial Committee of Utah, in assum ing to appoint delegates to Chicago, have called a convention at Halt Lake for April 20th, to elect delegates to Chicago and a new Territorial Committee. The Republicans carried Hie city of Springfled, 111., and Sangamon county by a large majority, for the first time since 18G0. This appears to be a good year for Republican returns. BUSINESS LOCALS.

During the coming Presidential year The Tribune will he a more effective agency than ever for telling the news best worth knowing, and l'or enforcing sound polities. From the day the war closed it has been most anxious for an end if sectional strife. But it saw two years ago, and was the lirst per.-Ist ently to Proclaim the new danger to the country front the revived alliance of the Solid South anil Tammany Mall. Against that danger it sought to rally the old party of Freedom and the Union. It began by demanding the abandonment of personal dislikes, and set the example.' It called for an end to attack h upon each other instead of the enemy; and for the heartiest agreement upon whatevrc fit candidates the majority should put up against the common foe. Since then the tide of disaster has been turned back; every doubtful state has been won, and the omens for National victory were never more cheering. TILE TRIBUNE'S POSITION. Of The Tribune's share in all this,- those speak niOft enthusiastically who have seen most of tlx' struggle. It will, faithfully portray the Yarning phases of the campaign now beginning. It will earnestly strive that the party of Freedom, Union and Public Faith may select the man surest to win, and surest to make a good President. Hut in this crisis it can conceive of no nomination this party could make that would not be preferable to the besi that could possibly bo supported by the Solid South and Tammany Hail. The Tribune is now spending much labo and money than ever before to hold the distinction it has enjoyed of the largest circulation among the best people. It secured, and means to retain it. by be coming the medium of the best thought and the voice of the best conscience of the time, by keeping abreast of the highest progress, favoring the froces discussions, hearing ail sides, appealing always to the best intelligence and the purest morality, and re fusing to carter to the tastes of the vile or lite preju dices of the ignorant. SPECIAL FEATURES. The distinctive features of The Tribune arc known to everybody. It gives all the news. It has the beat correspondents, and retains them from year to year, It is the only paper that maintains a special telegraphic wire of its own between its ollice and Washington. Its scientific, literary, artistic and re ligious intelligence is the fullest. Its book reviews are the Vast. Its commercial and financial news is the most exact Its typo is the largest; and its ar rangement the most systematic. THE SUM I-WEEKLY TRIUUN Is by far the most successful tieml-Weekly in the country, having fonr times the circulation ol' any other in New York. It is especially adapted to the large class of intelligent, professional or business readers too far from New York to depend on our papers for the daily news, who nevertheless want the editorials, correspondence, book reviews, scien tific matter, lectures, literary miscellaney, etc,, for which The Tribune is famous. Like The Weekly it contains sixteen pages, and is in convenient form for binding, TIIE WEEKLY TRIBUNE remains the great favorite of our substantial country population, and has the largest circulation of any Weekly issued from the ollice of a l>ai!y paper in New York, or, so far as we ktiow, in the United states. It revises and condenses all the news of the week into more readable shape. Its agricultural de partment is more carefully conducted than ever,and it has always been considered the best. Its market reports are the oflicial standard for the Dairymen's Association, and have long been recognized author ity on cattle, grain and general country produce. There are special departments for the young and for household interests; the new handiwork department already extremely popular, gives unusually accurate and comprehensive instructions in knitting, crochet ing, and kindrid subjects; while poetry, lietion and the humors of the day arc all abundantly supplied. The verdict of the tens of thousand old readers who have returned to it during the past year is that they find it better than ever.
