GENERAL GRANT AT THE REINS From eafly boyhood President Grant ha been an ardent admirer of horses, and since his arrival at years of maturity he has alway; been the possessor of one or more attractive animals. His stable at the Executive Mansion now comprises the best stud? of horses in this District, and the best ever owned by any Pres- ident. Ali of them were his own private prop- erty, purchased or raised by him before his election to the Presidency. Although he never permite any of bis stock to participate in races, he has several excellent trotters which probably cannot be easily passed by any horse in the city. At present be has eleven horses here, most of them blooded animals, besides a number of in- ferior horees on his farm near St. Louis. THE STABLE of the Executive Mansion, while it will not com- pare in extent or magnificence with that of Boss Tweed, or Bonner, of New York, is never- theless a very comfortable and respectable es- tablishment, such as befits a gentleman of modest taste. It is located in the southwest corner of the garden, about two hundred yards east of the Navy Department. It is a brick buil , two stories high, with a front of tifty feet and a depth of forty feet. An addition on Hon in two comfortable apartments” The car. in two com! le . rlage-house ts in the main building, about fifteen feet wide and forty feet deep; the ceiling is painted a light blue and the walls white. Zhe floor is of brick, and the room is spacious enough to contain eight or ten carriages. A wide hall runs throngh the building, at right with the house, ani upon either side of this ‘are two lar, rooms, in which the stalls are ited. At head of stall is an oval window, with acast iron frame or coliar, opening into the above described, givin @ free uilding at all enough to admit the , and it ceems to be the favorite attitude of some of the animais to have their heads constantly out of the window, jazing at their neighbors ee Epes either side of the passage are two smaller rooms, in which the harness is kept in glaw cases fixed to the walls. A portion of the sec- ond story is devoted to the feed, and the other howtler ives: ‘The building is lighted dough: hortler lives. ui - out with gas, and a stove in one portion Keeps the atmosphere therein at moderate tempera- ture. The entire stable is as clean as anew ps, and is kept in this order at all times. The ostler is Mr. Richard Curtin, who thoroughly understands his business, and enjoys the fuil confidence of the President. THE BORGES. The first to claim attention upon entering the stable is @ beautiful chestnut-sorrel stallion, who has not yet received a name. He ix two and a half years old, tifteen and three-quarter hands high, with both hind fet-locks white, and @ patch of white on his face. He can trot his mile in 3.30, and already works well in harness, hut is never driven except to a light sulky. The Byesident values him at a high figure, as he is a thorough-bred Hambletonian, and a powerful animal, of beautiful form, well man- hered and courageous, with superb action. He was sired in Orange county, New York, by the pe n ** Iron Duke,” belonging to Rys- HlORSES. ‘ia.? ASSAgO Cirealse “JEFF DAVIB,” the President's favorite saddle-horse, is a no- ble black gelding, bearing the above name from the fact that he was captured on a plantation belonging to Jeff. Davis, in Mississippi, during the rebel ton, aud subsequt thy transferred to General Grant then commanding in that sec- tion. He is fourteen hands high, and an excel- lent pacer, — his mile in three minutes easily. Nothing ts known of his pedigree. He very. ent, and is never used except under e saddle. “Royrt” ia a dark bay gelding, sixteen hands high, and fourteen years old. He is a famous trotter, and can make his mile now in three minutes. The President bas owned him since 1861, but nothing is known of his pedigree. His hind fetlocks are white, and he is regarded as one of bg a hen horses in the etable. He was formerly driven to the family carriage with “CINCINNATI,”” anotber dark bay gelding, thirteen years of age, sixteen and a half bands high, perfectly gentle, and the son of a great sire, “Lexington.” Cin- cimnati is the old war horse of the President, ag aes ridden by General Grant since 1862. ‘The General purchased him in Cincin- nati that year, from which fact ke was christened after the aye He is now one of the carriage horees, and is diiven with “st. LovIs,” his mate, a brighter bay than Cincinnati, though avery good match. He is sixteen and a half hands high, eleven years of age, and a trotter ot some note. The President purchased him in St. Louis in 1667, and like Cincinnati he was named after the cit¥from which he came. ‘These horses are much admired and perfectly geatle and of very eary and graceful action. “ MaRy,” a bay trotting marc, about twelve years of age, fifteen and three-quarter bands high, was pur- chased by the Presidentin New York four years ago for $1,200. She makes her mile in 2.40 in single harness, and is prettily marked witn one white fetiock joint before and one behind. She is never used except for the buggy, and is now driven to the pole with “: SRNNIB,” a bright bay American trotting mare, of 2:30 speed, twelve years of age, fifteen and a half bandshigh. She was purchased with “ Mary” in New York, for the sum of $1,300. This is iwaye attracts attention, though tts vety set alwa: dom used.

Absence of Chief Justice Chase. The Supreme Court of the United States met at the Capitol to-day; all the Judges present except Chief Justice Chase and Associate Jus- tice Nelson. Associate Justice Clifford, the senior judge present, presided. The commissions of Hon. A. T. Akerman, Attorney General of the United States, and B. H. Bristow, Solicitor General, were presented. On motion of Attor- ney General Akerman, Mr. Hill, the new Assist- ant Attorney General, was admitted to the bar. Mr. J. Hubley Ashton presented the proceed. ings and resolutions of the Philadelphia bar on the death of Judge Grier, with appropriate re- marks, to which Judge Clifford, on the part of the court, responded, and ordered that the pro- ceedings and resolutions be entered upon the minutes of the court; and, as a further mark of respect to the memory of the deceased, the court adjourned until to-morrow morning- Mr. D. W. Middleton, the Clerk of the Court, bas received a letter from Chief Justice Chase, dated Narragansett, Rhode Island, October 22d’ in which he says he addressed a letter to Judge Nelson, the senior Associate Justice, requesting him to preside, but regretted to receive a reply that Judge Nelson had not sufficiently recovered his health to enable him to do #0. The Chief Justice therefore wrote, in order that the court might underetand the circumstances of his ab- sence, and that the senior Judge—Clifford— might preside. In concluding his letter Judge Chase says he walked on the morning of the 22d about 20 minutes and was to ride in an hour or two, though he was not regaining his strength rapidly. TBE RESIGNATION OF SECRETARY COX. His Correspondence with ident. Pres Secretary Cox formally retired from the Inte- ‘rior department Saturday, and the heads of the bureaus of the department addressed him a letter, complimenting him upon his efforts for civil service reform, and expressing profound regret at his departure from the administration The retiring Secretary has furnished a copy of his correspondence with the President in refer- ence to his resignation for publication. His letter to the President is as follows : Staten Istaxp, 3d Uct., 1870. My Dear Sir: When adjourned in I was credibly informed that a systematic effort would be made, before their reassembling in the winter. to force a change in the policy we have pursued in the I Interior dey here of ordinarv political patronage ive, boos spl pol as been peculiarly distasteful to many intiuential gen- Uemen in both houses, yok iD jane tag po le uu to carry your purpose out su: ly Lam datistied thai you ought not to be embarrassed by ang other causes of irritation in the same de- partment. My views of the necessity of reform in the civil service have brought me more or leas into collision with the plans of some of our active political managers, and my sense of duty has obliged me to oppose some of their method- ot action throughout this dey nt. I have no doubt whatever that public senti- ment, will soover or later, fully sustgin these eflorts at what I rd needed reforms, but | ought not to overlook the fact that, for the pre sent, they involve ha ear which it may not be for the interest of this administration to pro- yoke, and as my personal tendency is to be rather more than legs persistent in the course to whieh I am committed, | deem it my duty to place in your hands my resignation of the office of Secretary of the Interior, to take effect as soon as you can conveniently determine upon wy succersor. ‘The annual Feport of the department will be made at an early day, and fog this and other reasons I believe the interval prior to the ad- — session of Congress the fittest for such a ange. I trust you will permit me to add that as the original acceptance of the position was an inter- ference with the plans of life formed, as [ think, with prudence, a return to my private business, to far from being an inconvenience or a disap_ pointment, wil) only be carrying out what I have most desired to do as soon as it could be done without embarassment to you and a sacri- fice to publie duty. Indications that you might be already troubled by sug; ‘ions on the sub- ject have induced me ‘to write at once, without waiting my return to Washington. ‘With sincere assurance of my strong desire for the complete euccess of your administration, { remain truly, your obedient servgnt, J. D. Cox. ‘The President replied as follows: ExeccTive Mansion, ? Wasuineton, D. C., October 5, 1870.5 Your letter of the 3d instant, tendering your resignation as Secretary of the Interior, is just received. As suggested by you, it will be ac cepted, to take effect upon the completion o: the annual report of tne department now being prepared to accompany my message to Gon gress. In parting company, permit’ me to say that I highly appreciate the zeal and aiility you have ever shown in the discharge of your of ticial duties. I hope your relations inthe new sphere you have pointed out for yourself wil prove as pleasant as our relations have been ix the past to me, and that you may fally realiz your brightest expectations. With the highes: regards, your obedient servant, U.S. Grast. APPOINTMENTS BY TRE PRESIDENA—The President bas appointed Benjamin F. Farnham. of Massachusetts, Consul at Bombay; Wm.
