Stanloy’s oxpeilition. They. dotail with gront minutences the progressof the Yellow- Btono column, nnd bear dates as lato as July 28. This correspondonce gave an account on tho 16th of the march of Btanloy up to tho 3d of July, and tho record of events iy now continued from that dato: “July 4, the march waa 15 miles, and quite fa- tiguing, owing to oxtrome heart, A tomporary bridgo had to bo constructed OVER DIG MUDDY, and it took throo hours to cross the command. Tho books wero vory ntcop, and, to make the descent, both wheols of the wagons had to bo locked, and men placed bebind with ropea to hold them back. Durivg the crosging, one of the wheol saddlo-mules in o team foll, and the wagon passed complotely over bim. Tho tonmator was pitched head-foromost to tho opposito sido of the creck, As the wagon earried some 4,000 pounds, of course overy one thought the mulo waa killed; but such oxpocta- tion, howovor reasonablo, was not to be roalized, —for, a8 goon as tha coaat wau cloar, the old fol- low scrambled up, shools himself, and scomod ull right, but o littlo searod. “*THE DAY WE OELEBRATE ' was not obaerved, oxcopt to fire tho usual salute of thirteen guns; indeed, under tho circum- stances, that was about all that could be done to rocognizo the National Independenco anmi- versary, #0n July 5 we started out with tho improssion that wa wero to march 11 milos to Knifo Crook, where wo oxpected to find Gen. Custer encampod with bis command. On arriving there, howover, we found Custer had broken comp and gono on_ 9 miles farthor, and we wero ordored to follow. ‘The whole day's distance to bo marched was thus unoxpoctedly incronsed to TWENTY MILES, and wo reached camp st 8 o'clock in the ovoning, vory much exhausted, as tho hoat was at ttmos oppressive, It was o hard day on tho command, tha soldiers haviog been kept on the road from b &, m. until 5 p. m,, twelve bours. When near camp, tho animals exhibited signs of great distress, snd camo in porfectly worn out. One or two of the mules, tired of ox- peditionary 1ifo, tried to dloof colle, but could not mako it go, and rocovered, apparently to thalr great surprige. ¢ On the 6th, wo romeined in camp to rest and rocuperate our snimals, On tho Gth, tho en- gincors bad jolned us, They hnd an escort of cavalry, and wero PROGRESAING FINELY with their survey of the line of the Northern Pa- cific Rollroad.

The now eurvoy is an entira sucoess, making the route twenty-threo miles shorter, and dispensing with many of tho bridges required on the Hart River routo, X wus also told that the now sur- vey would gavo over & million of dollars to the rallrond.

Mr, Ottendorfor—I think thé prosont leaders of the Ropublican party groatly desiro to leave thinga n{huy are, ‘'Llioy would undoubtedly do in 1876 what thoy did in 1878, in order to koop thoe Republican party in powor. ~ Of courae, their intontion must_ not bo rogarded in tho light of absoluto cortainties, A ronzmnnynvomumlfilt ocour which would impol thom to “abandon this l;u and to favor tho nomination of anothor can- 1dato, A Roporter—In caso thoir-counsols should pre- vail, do you think that Gon, Grant will b re- nominated simply by forco of his-merita? ~' . MMz, Ottondorfor—I havo beon always of tho opinion that ho was not olooted by force of s~ individual merits, -but in recogui- tion of tho groat national ovent of which ho waa tho, losding ?]prennntnfivo.

Mr, Ottendorfor—If he really means “to run” for a third torm, thero is po doubf that the powor of tho Administration would have a ve! groat influenco, Tha power, cloverly used, ought to bo sufliclont to compel his nomination. 1, novertholess, boliove that our Amorican poli- tleisna havo too oxlgfnnhd idoas about tho power of patronage. I think the pooplo will profor a good man who stauda upon his merits to_Gon, Grant-with oll_his patronago, nvd I think that such & man will have & bottor ohanos to be oleoted, Tako tho oity, for instance. The power of tho Administration all over the coun- ty ia cortainly-not 80 grant as was tho power of the Ring in this city, and seo_how thoy wero swopt away in & day. And I ceriainly don't thinlk there over will be politiclans more skilitul in tho subtle intricacies of political intriguos than were tho mombera of the dofunct Ring.

Mr. Btono—I do not bellove that Grant has the stuff in him for a Cmsar or an Emporor. It would lead to s kind of party despotism which is a8 bad aa Crosariam, * If Lo ig elocted for o third torm ho will bo for o fourth, fifth, and sixth “torms, and may be for the torm of hia natural life, “And the people would look on .with indif- forence, for what doos your avorage merchant, for instaucoe, care so long as ho ia prosperous and can mako menoy fast? I do not think that Grant is ambitious to bo » Cwsor or in a despob by nature. He is too indifferont and too fond of s onao for that. Hocarea for his own well boing moro than for that of the country, Ho takes his comfort, accepts what comos along, and allows his oronlos to run_the mschinory of the Gov- ernmont. A gentleman of prominonce, a friend of mino, who is an excollent physiogno. mist ss well as phrenologist, had an in- torviow with Prosidont Grant quite ro. contly, Ho told mo Lo studicd his hoad and faco during tho conversstion, and found that the one characteristio feature about it wag cupidity, Ho says he las no doubt if Grant aspires to the position of OwsaP it is not from ambition or love of power, but for tho emolu- menta [t would bring withit. It is quito poa- sible, however, that his third termn may boan im{)rovomunh on hiy socond ; it could cortalnly not bo worso than his flvat ; for his sdministra- tion has been ono of tho most corrupt wo have Lind, though I do not impute cosrruption to him personally, I think, however, that ultimatoly {t would lead to a governmont as despotic and cor- rupt s Cmsarism can bo, until, Laving gons throngh all tho stages of decay, decomposition wouldsok in, and thon thoro would be change for roform and pure govornment.

Smith had road tho Herald's ‘articles on Cmearism, and spoke right to the point ax goon as the subjoct was namod. Ho said : “I renlly don't think tho guopln are taking much interest in it, becansc thoy seono danger to bo approhonded. I don’t think anybody ex- pocts Gon. Grant to be nominated for o third term, and I havo roason to know that ho himsolf neithor expocta nor desirea it. ~ With roforonce to a conatitutional amondment limiting to ons term, I don’t see any nocossity for if.

Mr, Smith—I think not. As far as :{ obsery- ation goes, whon such an attompt is mado sgainat public sontiment it always becomes an clement of weakness instead of” sirength. The chargo was made in 1872 that the Fedoral oflice-boldors renominated Grant. Now, I think, thero never was a.case in which tho voice of the peoplo was mara cloarly apparent than in that year, Grant ‘wag ronominated by the people indopendent of the: ‘rumicllns or office-holders, Tho thing was,| fixed in the popular mind long before tho Na- tional Convention, and was_largely due to tho fact that the opponents of Grant slandored him moat outrageously, Herald Corrospondent—What do you think of Gront's chanco for & third torm ? 3r, Bmith—Woll, I think Gen.

Another Account of Xlis Baggage. Long Dranch (dug, 13) Dispateh to the Baltimors American, . There is much indiguation hero over an atro~ clous agsanlt upon Beuator Carponter, which ap~ Pnuod in tho Now York Zyiwbune of the Btix nst, Tho article la based upon a scandalous tologram sont from this place to the New York Sun throo wacks ago, which was ropublishod in: the Pittsburgh Leader, Scnator Carpontor camo to Long Branch ou the 80th of July to seo Presi- dent Grant, A geatleman and his wifo, intimate frionds of hia_family, accompanied him from Pittsburg to Harriaburg on route for Longi Dranch, When thoy arrived at Harrisburg tho husbaud concluded €o_roturn homo, aud sont his: wifo, who was in dolicate honlth, to Long Branch undor the ecare of Mr, Carponter. They camo here on the ovening of tha 80th, as already stated, and went to the Wost End Hotol. It lspooned that thoro woro no vacant rooms, aud Mr. Carpontor was givon a lottor of introduction to tho proprictor of tha Ocoann House. ‘Bofore ho loft tho West End Hotel he was approachod by o somewhat noto- rious uu‘z?némr ocorrespondent, who bad boon imprisoned at Waabington for 'contempt in ro- {nelns to answor cortain questions propounded by a Senate Committoo, of which Mr. Carpentor was - Chairman, Tho correspondont shook hands with him, but no _silusion wna made to their former difficulty. BMr. Carpenter loft the West End Hotol aud wont to tho Ocenn Houso, wheroe ho presentod his letter of introduction &nd socured a room for the invalid Iady aud a room for himself.
