GRANT. His Arrival in This City—Reception at the Metropolitan Hoetel—Promineat Visitors Future Movements=—The General Will Go to West Point To-Day. Without any previous announcement General Grant and Mrs, Grant arrived im this city ab Dine o'clock yesterday morning, en route to West Point, at which the son of the President elect is @ cadet, The General, with his stat—General Adam Badeau and Genera! F. T. Dent—at once repaired to the Metropolitan Hotel and took possession of room No. 114, and Mrs, Grant went up town to the rest- dence of Mr. A. T, Stewart.

Mf. John Jay, the president of the Loyal League Club; Professor Lieber, Judge Dick Busteed, Colonel Crofton, United States Army, and Miss Reade catled at the Metropolitan during the absence of the Genera! and sent up their cards, General Grant returned from bis visit at ten o'clock, and remained undisturbed and unbored for some ume. The fact that General Badeau is generally understood to be the breastwork to Grant's defences deters aspiring candidates for pace from being in- trusive, and protects the General from annoyance. A continuous stream of visitors poured in and out of the hocel all the forenoon, and it was interesting to notice that among aspiring politicians of good or bad characier, generals of great reputation or no reputation, the President elect was the most molest and uapretending. ‘The cojored walters seemed to be greatly tickled. As the day wore on the excitement in the neigh- borhood of the Metropolitan increased and there was @ perfect rush ot visitors to tne hotel, The Genera. received all very kindiy and gave (he briefest possi- bie answers to tie Inevitabie questions put to him by the inevituble bores, ihe General receive, up to four o'clock, over 5.0 visitora, among whom were Judge Piercepont, with his brothers Hilton and Davis; ex-(ioveruor Fish, Generals Butterileid, vhilip St. George Crouke, and @ host of subor- dinate oliicers. In answer to a question put by one of the visitors Genera! Leut, speaking for General Grant, said that the President elect would noi receive any pubic demonstration, and when he would retura from West Point would also deciine any popular ova- tion. General Grant, sald General Dent, does not believe in popular demonstrations and consequently will not accept them, Ifany person asks him toa good dinner he did not think that the General was me man to refuse, but nothing of a public character, General Grant drove out with Mr. Kobert Bonner in the afternoon, and expressed anew his admira- tion of the horse Pocahonias, whom he pronouuced & paragon of speed. He asgumed the reins in Hur- lem tape and made the metties:me animal ‘push things’ in excelient style.

The horses got the word to an even start after three at- tempts; but soon afterwards Rosa was pulled to a break and the gelding led to the quarter pole in forty-four seconds, The mare was brokeu up by her driver twice on the backstretch, and the gelding allowed to lead to the half-mile pole in 1:23, ‘Ihe mare broke in on the lower turn and was two Te behind st the three-quarter pole. She was he up tne homestretch, but too close to the Iding to lose in case iife latter should make a mis- ‘¢, which he did by breaking when close to the stand, and the mare had togoina wiuner.

The J es then pretended they were in consultation ut some nice = and nally the most impudent of the trio announ that age 4 had won the race, the mare being distanced, The crowd were taken by surprise for the moment; but in a few moments rwards they made a rush for the stand, and but for the timely ap- pearance of an oficer at the door of the stand aum- mary ven ce Would have been meted out to the judges. ‘Lhe fellows, however, to save themselves, to reverse their decision, aud thus gave the mare the heat, and came out of their bigh places to make room for more honorable men. ‘The latter then called up the horses for the Third Heat.—The gelding the best of the send off, but the mare soon took sides with him, and they went to the quarter pole in forty-four seconds. ‘The gelding then broke up, and the mare leit him and came home an easy winner by half a dozen lengths in 2:56. And thus ended this rive attempt at awindiing. TAOTTING AT NORWALK—THIRD DAY. ‘The attendance at the fair grounds at Norwalk, Conn., was larger yesterday than on any previous day. The weather was cold and dry, but the track was not in the best possible condition. The Fairfeid County Agricultural Society, under whose auspices the fair was held, made every effort to render yes- terday's proceedings interesting to its patrons, and certainly succeeded. The trotting was, on the whole, good; betting was very lively, and much interest ‘was manifested by the spectators, many of whom ‘were ladies, in the different events of the day. Class 13 on tue prosremme was the first event of the day, being for all doubie teams, mile heats, best three in five, in harness—$200 to frst, $126 to second and $75 to the third tn the race.

WASHINGTON. THE ALLEGED WHISKEY FRAUDS. District Attorney Courtney Not to be Sus- pended at Present. WasuIncton, Nov. 13, 1868, Mb. Courtnoy’s Case Disposed OF. ‘The dotision in the case of Courtnoy has beer made, President Johnson, after reviewinz all the testimony and duly considering the arguments made on both sfies, has determined not to suspend the District Aitorney on the charges as at present brought up, but atthe same time has authorized Judge Ful- lerton to mntinue the prosecution and accumulate further tegimony. In short, the situation seems to be this, thit the caso ws stil} in abeyance, and though the accusid parties go home relieved in a cer- tam degree of the fear of punishment, still their agony js by no means over. ‘ihe whole cagewas considered at tho Cabinet meeting to-day, McCulloch and Evarts being the principal talkers on tle subject. Mr. Evarts gave his opinion in opposition te suspending Mr. Cuuriney from office, and McCulloch is understood to have coin- cided with tae former fully. However this may be, it is certain that late in the afternoon, after the ad- journment ¢@ the Cabinet meeting, Mr. Evarts wrote to Judge Fhilerton asking the latter to call at his oMice on important business, Judge Fullerton im- mediately rmpaired to the Attorney General’s office, and was thete informed by Mr. Evarts of te Presi- dent's determination. Courtney and company re- gard the ction of the President in refusing to suspend as a complete vindication of their characters; but Jydge Fullerton and those acting With him take an opposite view of the situation, and contend thatas Mr. Courtney has not been acquitted fully he has ittle, indeed, to boast of. Javdge Fullerton to Continue His Investigation. Judge FPulerton ia determined to prosecute the work with @lthe greater energy now, as his own character has been attacked by the New York organ of the whiskey ring in a series of articles lately, and in the attempt to procure his indictment by the United States Grand Jury for conspiracy to black- mail off and mtimidate public officials. Animated with this desire he will proceed to hunt up all the additional evidence to be obtained, and thus fortified will keep up an unceasing warfare upon the parties alleged to be implicated. In the meantime the air is filled with all sorts of strange rumors, the most re- marsable beiag that the cause of the non-suspension is @ compromise between Courtney and certain parties who have been very prominent in bis prose- cution. While this view of the case is being urged it seems to be forgotten that such an arrangement would necessarily have to include the President himself and Attorney General Evarts. Of course this view is entirely extravagant and not to be thought of fora moment. if the President has made an im- proper decision it is because he has been misled by members of his own Cabinet or because he has yielded to his habitual slowness of action, an infirmity which has frequently beset him at important junctures when prompt decision was most needed. Fullerton and many of those who came here with him left on the nine o'clock train, but Courtney remains here still. More Delay in the Appointment of Super- visors. Secretary McCulloch and Commissioner Rolling had another interview this morning on the subject of appointing supervisors, No definite conclusion regarding the points of difference between these gentlemen was reached, and uo appointmenta or nominations were made to-day.
