The Seeretary of the Treasury replies that his daty Is merely to follow the law as laid down, and that the remedy is with Congress. It is thought the President will cull atten- tion to the matter In his forthcoming mess- age. THERE CAN EE NOGREATER ERROR than the popular one that our President is habitu- ally silent in strictly private life. Those who know him best always speak with en- thusiasm of bis social qualities. The Presi- dent and Mrs. Grant always receive those who bave the privilege of visiting them socially in the evenings, and their friends greauly enjoy. the pleasant converse on such occasions. The President laughs, talks and = showing a decided relish for wit and umor. The class who are forever clamor- ing for republican simplicity shorid be satis- fied when they sce the President taking his relaxation in such simple fashion as an afternoon walk unatlended.—| Washingion Leter to Graphic. THE Ellinburyh Review for October and Blackwood’s Magazine tor Noveraber, (Scott Publishing Company reprints,) received from Warren Choate & Co., are good num- bers of these standard magazines. Black. wood has an article on the “French war preparations in 1870,” designed to show that they were really no pt tions at all. The miserable condition of the French army, de- fences, ete., are exposed, then the magazine adds, as @ moral, that England should look to it that this wofal story Is not repeated in her own history. The inburgh Review has an article upon “Forest Manage- ment,” showing the enormous consumption of the forest wealth of the world and the ne- cessity for restorative measures. The other articles in both magazines are also of cur- rent interest to an exceptional extent. MARRIAGE ANNIVERSARY.—On Wednes- day night last a very enjoyable affair took place at the residence of Dr. R. A. Bacon, 451 F street 6. w., in the shape of the celebra- Uon of the seventh anniversary of the mar- riage of Mr. and Mrs. Bacon. A housefall of their friends were gathered to assist in the celebration, aud being pleasant, congenial people all—entertainers and company—the €vening passed away very rapidly. Dancing was kept up with zest, and those not thus cneaged | found very agreeable occu inspecting the amateur artist work of Mrs. Bacon lining the walls ,and the singularly tasteful display of flowers, ferns, ivies, au- tumn leaves, &e., that adorn the various rooms of this pleasant home. Mrs. Bacon, (in oll) nave been much admired, has within the last year inted some portrait beads that indicate ui bted talent in that direction.

Some of His Last Conversations—His Opinion of the President, of the Political Situation, of the South,ete, During the last iilness of Vice President Wilson, he talked freely on a great variety of subjects, among others with Postmaster General Jewell. On the occasion of a visit of the latter, Mr. Jewell said to Mr. Wilson “that THE PRESIDENT often spoke of him, and always very kindly.” | To which Mr. Wilson replied, “Tell him I thank him, and that I have nothing but the best of feelings towards him. The newspa pers have tried to get up a quarrel between us, but have utterly failed.” On another oc- casion he said to Sir George Bowen: “Grant is a greatly underrated man. He was espe cially underrated by my late colleague, Mr. T had an earnest talk with Sum er when he left the party, and did m3 t to convince him of bis ‘error. But 1 could not move him.” MR. WILEON DIDN'T WANT A SEATIN THE SENATE. Being shown one day an editorial in the Springfield Republican, suggesting that he should be sent to the Senate at the next op- prow, hesaid: “I think they had better let me alone. Jam willing now to let the ambitions of life all pass. Whatever of life remaing to me must be devoted to other uses. THE SOUTH. His mind was chiefly busy, however, with the political problems of the dey. “In my opinion,” he said at one time, “The true Policy tx to divide the south, bringing over the old whig element. There are three hun- cred thonsand intelligent men in the south who might be brought over to the support of the administration if a liberal policy should be pursued. If I had health and the neces. sry power, I could win them over to the ad- mibisiration in ninety days. I know those men. J bave been down there and talked with them and know how they feel. But we have allowed them to mass on us, and some- thing has got to be done or they will get possession of the government and control it for the next twenty or thirty years.” CARL SCHURZ FOR SECKETARY OF THE IN- TERIOR.

A CRISIS AT THE RED CLOUD AGENCY The commissioner of Indian affairs to-day received a dispatch from Dr. J.J. Saville, Indian agent at the Red Cloud azeney, sxy- ing: “To-day (22d instant), without provore- Ugn, & young Indian shot at Geo. M. Bosle while bringing in a herd of cattle. To-mor- row I shall demand the surrender of the nia for punishment, which will undoubtedly be tefused. 1 respectfrlly request full and deti nite instructions what course to pnrsue in case of such refusal. Shall I stop issuing rations and place the agency under guard uatil he is given up?” On receipt of this tele gram the commissioner telegraphed to Sa ville, saying: “The Indians must be com- pelled to surrender the guilty party. Ifthe military will stand by you, stop ratios’ until the surrender is made.” The Bosler shot at is a brother of J. W. Bosler, the beef contractor for the Sioux Indians. ENGLAND'S NEW PHASE OF EASTERN PoLicy.—The London Times, referring to the purchase by the Br'iish government of 177,000 shares of the Suez Canal, says the purchase was rade for political reasons, tbat the ithportance of the step can hardly be overated, and that England will be regarded by ali the world as Prelne| entered upon new phase of Eastern icy. The Times further says that should insurrection or in- trigue, ‘ion from without or corrap- tion within, bring a litical as wellas a nancial collapse to the Turkish Empire, it might become necessary to take measures for the security of that part of the dominions ofthe Sultan with which England is most nearly concerned. It is also hinted that Eng- land will become possessed of the entire pro- perty by buying up the rest of the shares and paying the two loans, amounting to £4,330,- 000, by the company. BUSINESS F AILURES.—A Boston dispatch anuounces that Royal eT & Co., exten- sive coal and lumber dealers, in Watertown, jass., have failed, With liabilities estima: ted at $250,000, The failure was caused by their inability to collect from a large nun berof master builders and carpenters in- debted to them.

TRIAL OF EX-CHIEF CLERK AVERY. In the Avery trial yesterday in St. Louis, 8. D. Thorp, United States storekeeper, re peated his testimony given in the McDonald ease, with the addition that Joyce frequently showed him letters purporting to be fr Avery or Babcock, relative to crooked whi ky. Witness didn’t know Avery’s hand writing, therefore conidu’t tell whether they Were really written by him. Fitzroy once showed bim a letter, bearing Avery's signa- tore, but did not tell him what it contained other than it said that everything was al right. Alfred Bevis, of Bevis & Frazer, tes- tified to about the same thing as Thorpe: also that Thorpe, on several occasions, showed bim letters Uggtertmeed to come from Avery and Babcock, notifying the ring of the com- ing of the agents. He could not, however, identify Avery's bandwriting. Three letters, and also telegrams, were shown to give tue distillers confidence that they would be pro- tected in illicit distillery. The famous dis- patch received here four days before the seizures were made last May, came from Mr. Barnes, a traveling agent of Now*rad, Buchanan & Co., of Louisville, who semi to know all about it. On cross-examination, said that he had been informed that Secre- tary Bristow was interested in the firm of Newcomb, Bucaanan & Co. This createt A SENSATION IN THE COURT, and General Henderson said if the defense would show that Biistow was a member of the ring the prosecution would have him in- dicted atonce. J.T. Josephs, chief clerk of the division of accounts in the office of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, testi- fied: Ieent Avery toSt. Louis in 1872 to ex- amine the accounts of Revenue Agent Gun- ther; Avery made @ verbal report oa iis re- turn, that Guniber's accoants were probably correct; met Avery on the street in Decem- ber, isi2, and he remarked that Joyce was going to send usa Christmas present; in Feb- ruary following, Avery handed me A PACKAGE CONTAINING $100; I told Avery cant Ishould return it to Joyce, assrmii tit came him, to which Avery replied, I need not do that, asit was sent in such @ manner that po trouble could come of it. I immediately bought a draft for $100, and mailed it to Joyce at St. Louis, and the eyed to Deputy Commis- "i return his money also, which I understand he did. The draft was returned to mein a few days, with the endorsement erased and without @ mark of explanation. MYSTERIOUS TELEGRAMS.
