4 PRESIDENTIAL VIEWS. Interview with Gen. Grant on the Topics of the Day. ‘How Our Republican Chief Spends His Time at Long Branch. His Views Upon the Louisiana and the New York Political Muddles. TAMMANY AND THE RIOTS. The Sphinx When Not in a Hu- mor for Talking. Lone BRANCH, August 18, 1871. The President’s cottage is not gnarded by any very flerce Cerberus, nor ts he at ali imaccessible. You can pounce upon kim ner any morning at about ten o clock, when he sits upon his front piazza reading the papers, aud perhaps all uncon- aclously giving a cherishea SENSATION TO THE JERSEY FARMERS, who pass by in the Ocean Grove camp meeting Wagons and crane their necks fora view at the President's cottage from the moment they turn at the bend of the road at the West End Hotel until they turn agam a few rods below the cottage. At ‘these times he 1s surrounded by his family, but doubt- Jess you could come up the front avenue and inter- view him then ana there. It 1s an ungractous ting, however, to take him away from his morning news- papers or out of the privacy of his family to expose him suddeniy to the pablic gaze througn the camera of a newspaper interview, and Ihave never in- truded upon him at those hours. Or you can see him on lus lawn atearlier hours of the morning; al three or four in the afternoon you can find him ON HI8 BACK PIAZZA SMOKING his after-dinner cigar, ana atsix you can meet kim Yn his strait-backed English style carriage, driving up or down Ocean avenue among the other equi- pages; and sometimes &t train hours you can see hun at the depot.

With all this republican simplicity, however, [ notice that he sometimes takes a drive, he and Mrs. Grant, with two liveried servants on the front seat, Here’s a chance for democratic thunder, A COLORED PHILOSOPHER. “But the best time to see him, sir,’ as the good. ooking yellow boy who answers the door bell, and 4s so uniformiy polite to all comers, told me, ‘the best time to see him 13 about four o'clock, ‘cause den he’s frou dinner and aint gone out riding, and if der aint no gentlemen from Washington here or trom Congress or from de Custom House in New York, or no oder gentlemen in politics here talking wid nim—why, den he’s disgaged.”” “Well it’s four o'clock now,” said L, “Weil, to-day HE'S GONED TO CAMP MEBTING, and ain’t a keeping regular hours,” ‘This afternoon, at the kindly hour of four, I called again, and had tne satisfaction of finding THE MAN OF APPOMATTOX “disgaged.” A carriage was already waiting In the avenue, and I felt almost sure of another disappoint- ment, f£1ther he was busy in consultation with some one or Was golug again to camp meeting, However, | rang the bell, aud my yellow philoso pher agatn came tothe door, all smiles and affa- bility, as usual, It 1s astoniseing tome how litte this “gentleman in waiting’? comprehends the high and starchy dignity of nis position.

CATACAZY, THE RUSSIAN MINISTER, passed out, moved with hurried step to the carriage that was waiting and was driven out the gate and up the road to the West End. Then the donbie doors ‘were opened and I stood facing the President. He Jooked somewhat jaded aud wearted, though still very good natured, but I saw at once that it would be ungracious to subject him to any lengthy inter- view. Yes, he was smoking. “Good evening, Mr. President,” said I. Good evening,” sata ne.

As the camp meeting at Ocean Grove ts yet almost a wilderness of siumpy pines, and numbers teas and ticks in profusion among tls other attractions of surf bathing, boating, Joudly demonstrative exhort- fag and a solitary converted “neathen Chinee,” I felt that I spoke advisedly im commending the faith of the President.

PResipent—Well, I'll have to consider over that when I get full oMecial information from the Rear Admiral. We don't want vengeance on the Coreans only.

PRESIDENT—Well, I don’t think there ts any real lack of harmony among the republicans in New York. Some men there who are repubitcans in name claim that there is discord, and they try to make discord, but don’t amount much.

Reply of Mr. Conway to the Ca- sey-Packard Messages. The Actual History of the Whole Affair. The following letter has been addressed by Mr. ‘Cnomas W. Conway, State Superintendent of Public Education in Lousiana, to President Grant:— To Hts EXORLLENOY ULY6se8 S. GRANT, PRESIDENT OF ’ TATE g leave to reapectfully present for your con- siteration a few thoughts concern ing the recent effort of the Tepublicans of Loulsiana to hold a State Convention. 4 Tebanced to come from New Orleans last week in com pany with a gentieman who was the bearer of messages con” cerning the same matter, the said esaagea having the signa’ tures. of J. F. Casey, Collector of the Port of New Orleans ands. B. Packard, United States Marshal for the District of Louisiana. The bearer of said messages seemed quite eage to make their contents known and volunteered an exhibition of them to a group of gentlemen on the train, of whom 1 was one, saying us he he did so that be was a New York democrat and took no interest whatever in thi veray between the republican factions of Loulsaina, he was loterested with them solely on the score o! friendsnip for Collector Casey. read aloud on the railroad car, aving been made public before they could reach Your Excellency, T'do not consider myself restrained from alluding to their contents nor from promptly branding every statement con- tained in them as ulterly false and groundl ‘of men who know themselves to have committed a gro Hiteal blunder and outrage, second only to the atte seceasion of the States late y in rebellion, though seemingly Of less original magnitude, These men, and the other federal officials who entered with tue into The project of strangling the freedom of the Con- vention, seemed utterly regardless of the damaging conse- uence f their action,not only to your adminis lun but to the republican party of the country. The messages which they forwarded. to Your, Excellency, and which were pub- ished by their Bearer on the Northern-bound train, state that it was evident that the friends of Governor Warmoth were determined to use violence to overawe the del ‘tes; that the Custom House was chosen for the mecting of the Convention because the Governor's friends had hired every hall in the city, so that the State Committee were compelled to resort to the United States Court room to enable the Conven- tion to assemble; that the majority of the delegates were pledged to denounce the State administration, and were in Ganger of personal violence from Thugs and Cruisers in aympathy with the Governor and under his leadership; that the public property could only de protacted by calling upon General Reynolds for a tnilitars force; that though there were soldiers 1h the Custom Hoitse and Gatling gins. placed Rear by neither were used, and were ouly intended to exer- cise by their presence a wholesome moral influence; that United Stains Senator West bad deolared that unless the Gaited ait eis Teouersuea:. thee Convention "thers Mavi be bloodshed; that the Governor made an incen of the day on which (aw House Sain, nave morning in the course of which he denounced The national adwiiii- tration, and that boch he and his friends were eneutes of the President, ac. Before noticing each of;those statements separately aliow me to say that there is nota man in the South to-day who has done more hard work, faced a greater number of dan gers, been more soundiy abused for personal, per- elf-sacrificing devotion to the — priuctples republican” party and the —_suiece Congressional plan of reconstruction — th: myself. My apology for this personal allusion Is that yo Excellency may understand that no partiality for Governor Warmoth’s administration, or for the Custom House officials, could suffice t« lead me now to an endorsement of any course of conduct of one party or the other which, in my opinion, would tend to endanger the success of the republican party inthe future. [ am convinced from personal know- edge of the fucts that the statements made by Mr. Cassy and Mr. Packard are at variance with the truth; and, since falsehood can only damage your administration and work injury to the cause of the republicans, I venture to invite your Exceliency’s attention to the naked truth toucbing each of the aforesaiq allegation: Fird-Ae to the charge that! friends of Governor Warmoth intendec to use violence to overawe the delegates to the Con- Yeution, tt will suffice to say that it was notin the power of Collector Casey, Mr. Packard, or any one in sympathy with their project to know that anything of the sort was contem plated; and asnirediy no one will presime that politicians Whose ‘sagacity was the meaus of carrying the State last year against both the democrats and the State Commitiee (I allude to Governor Warmoth, Senator West, State Senator Pinchback, Judge Dibble and others) would be likely to resort io any mersure go impoiltic aud absurd as that predicted by yand Mr. Packard Jo their communication, That rge would be weil founded if made against themselves the history of the memorable day on which tne Convention met will abundantly prove. That Mr. Packard, Mr. U Mr. Duna, Mr. Lowell, Mr. Stockdale aud thelr friends tended to use violent means to force the Convention to their vicular terms, caring, as they did, far more for the of the State government than for the effect which their conduct was likely to have on the national administration and the national republican party, the facts abundantiy prov ‘The evidence on this point isthe fact that early in the day filed with armed me, troops js, ready to do the bidding of the T personally know, and stand ready tom: affidavit in support of my statement, that Governor moth, while Tully aware of the convempiated outrage whien the Custom House officials. were projecting, urged all hie friends to conduct themselves with the utmost reeard for the pence and good name of the community; and that at no time did he contemplate, or did any of bis friends contemplate, atight save the readiest submniasion to the wishes of the Con vention, atter the same should be fairly and freely expressed. ‘Srcund—As to the charge that the election of the Custom House for the meeting of the Convention was because the Governor's friends hud hired every hall inthe town, 1 hw this to say: All previous Republican State Conventions in Louisiana had assembled in the Hall of the Mechanica’ In- stitute, which is leased by the State for the use of the Gen- eral Assembly. Mr. Casey, Mr. Packard and their friends wisbiog to have (be Convention meet ina building suoject entirely to their jurisdiction, where they could vy the use of troops and deputy marshals be the better enabled to force ite re thelr own selfish ends, declined to meet in this ball, and therefore selected the United States Court room, in the Custom House building, ‘The Governor's friends were ready to go eve ubmit to a free ex- prestion of the wili of the He had a right wo suspect, however, that foi dy prepared to strangle the (reedom of the Convention, and, the uttonary je wo that ary chain, d to fetter it, and meet else which were previously fe where, free from wih There are some balls in New Orieans owned by persone who are so prejudiced agatost thr republican party toat they couldn't possibly be hired for the meeting of tue Reput Convention, and I know of bit ove of suitable size w could bave ‘been secured for the purpose.

Every one knows, for instance, that hardly an old- time Chief Magistrate ever got up to the republican throne without being promoted from the rear rank of foreign envoys—to wit, John Adams, John Quincy Adams, and even such A PETREFACTION as James Buchanan.

He believes parties are on the eve of dissolution; that old issues, burted in the lowest mausoicum of forgetfulness, will leave a vacuum for new and healthy ones; and that his dar- ling hope, America —free; yet still not happy in all quarters—will be reconciled upon nis own canuida- ture. U have lately talked treely with a 'm per- sonal friend of Mr. Seward’s wao met che diplomat da the Ss Mr. Seward Is still youug and fresh and ry MUSCULAR IN HIS INTELLECT, ealing out acute thoughts, sharp and cutting sen- tences, putting the keen edge on every suvject he talks about. He grows marvellous in these powers even as he follows out this marvellous voyage round the world. When he visits a country he Kaows more abeut it than its chief ruler. On Egyptian soil he was able to instract the enlightened Viceroy avout his own aomuntons. Physically, however, Mr. Seward is not what he was. He ts partially para- jyzed aud drawn up, and this, together with the ter- ribie mutilation wrougnt by Payne, the assassin, have given him an air of greater distress than he really suffers, I have seen Mr. Seward’s latest specimens of handwriting, and I can suy that old age has at least taught him the great accomplish- ment of writing badly.

Thus brieny is Mr, Seward presented for the struggle of 1572, and the Americans in Europe will watch with eager interest to hear the result. It is widely thoaght that Greeley might cance) old asperities, because his stock of political novelties is about exhausted.

But we have another candidate over here, who Toust be brought out upon the confidential understanding wiih tne putuic that parties remain as they are, Minisier Washburne Is the man, His capital is about the best im the party. He is much tarked of for the nomination, and strong grounas are urged jor his success betore the Convention and the people. He shares pone of the unpopularity of the unWise Measures of the administration; he has been away from the bad odor of the St. Domingo business, and ali of his relatives in oitice have been political romance, Irom boyhood, a eiected by (he people, and not appomted by the President. Wahile gaining In that direction he has made AN ILLUSTRIOUS RECORD ABROAD.

General Grant, if he should de not to go before the country With the mistakes ty has made for a Second tert, would in gratitude be compelled to advocate Ministe Washburne, American-European sentiment is decidedly in favor of Mr. Washburne.

Quarantine Affaire and the Approaching Cholera—Two United Stntes Vessels Placed at the Disposal of the Health Ofticer~How It Was Brought About. Extraordinary efforts are being made at Quaran- Une Lo prevent the introduction of pestilence. Dr. Carnocban, our most vigilant and able Health OmMcer, aided by his clever assistant, Dr. Read, has made such arrangements as must surely prevent the introduction of cholera into our city through the port. It the citizens insist upon the cleansing of the filthy piaces of the metropolis by the proper au- thorities, as it is to be hoped they will, we may be abie to regard the march of the dread destroyer with reasonable composure. Atameeting of tne Board of Commissioners of Quarantine, held at their oitice in this city on the 14th inst., a letter from Dr, Carnochan was read and favorably considered, 1. was conceded by the Com- missioners that the Health Oiticer’s suggestions were TIMELY, WISE AND MOST PRESSING in their ature. The Board adoptea them at once, ‘The following is Dr. Carnochan’s tetter:— HEALTH OFFIORRS” DEPARTMENT,) Quarantine, S. L, August 14, 1871.

Ihave tne honor to pe, jon, In accordat with tie recommendation of the Health Officer the Commissioners appropriated $25,000 for extra bulidings at Quarantine, and Dr. Carnochan immediately proceeded with the work they autvorized and he nad suggested. The neces- sary works are now nearly completed; but the Health Officer saw that SOMETHING WAS REQUIRED. The general government having, in 1866, placed at the disposal of the State authorities the ship dilinois for hospital purposes, Dr, Carnochan thougnt that it would be possibie to obtain from the pre- sent administration one or more — ships-of- war, suitable for the reception ot persons coming rom infected ports. He acted promptly and with effect. A representation to the Commissioners of Quarantine resulted in the appointment of Dr. Beil, of the Board, and Charies H. Haswell engineer to the Commission, as a depa- tation to proceed to Washington and represent to the authorities there the urgent necessity of agree ing to the wise proposals of the Heaitn Oilicer. The Commission accordingly waited upon the Secretary of the Navy yesterday and placed the mat- ter before him. The action of the general govern- ment was immediate and judicious. The President knew that it was not an affair of politics, buc an affair of possible pestilence. ‘he following ESPATCH 10 THE HERALD shows how Dr. Carnochan’s ideas of how qnaran- tine in New York should be conducted and pesti- oe guarded against 1s appreciated at Washing- on:— WASHINGTON, Auguat 21, 1871, ‘The Secretary of the Navy bax tendered to the New York Quarantine Commissioner the United States steamers Albany and Delaware for nse tn preventing the infection of cholera. ‘They will be placed in the outer bay, where parties arriving here from Europe, who uave been exposed to the malady, will be quarantined.

The Practice Ships Constellation, and Saratoga at Newport. Annual Three Months’ Cruise—One Hundred and Forty Midshipmen Preparing for Naval Triumphs—Soenes in the Har. bor—List of Officers. Newronrr, R. L, August 21, 1871, ‘The little forest of masts seen on approaching: this harbor has recently been augmented by the arrival of the fine practice ships Constellation and Saratoga. Running down tu a steamer from the Beaver Tail Light to our anchorage, before aun- down yesterday, the spectacle presented was one of rare beauty, and awakened expressions of admira- tion from all on board, The port was crowded witit splendid schooner yachts, whose tall spars tapered in the air, each with its distinguishing signal and the flag of the New York Yacnt Ciub futtering in the gentle breeze, The city itself Beemed all quict- ness, for it was the day of all others on which fashion delights to take repose, The Constellation and Saratoga lay at auchor opposite Fort Adams nota cable's length from each over, From morn- ing till sundown visitors crowded thelr spacious decks, and were recetved with all the courtesy characteristte of the American naval oftcer, The dapper little middies were in their element, and, arrayed in thelr handsome and appropriate wae forms, contributed to make the visits of all as agreese ble as possible. With crews of able seamen cuttors from the ships fitted about the yacht fleet most of the day, and altogether the scene was very pice turesque, ‘The Constellation and Saratoga leit Annapolis in company on the 17th of June last, on the regular three months’ practice cruise which follows the examinations at the Naval Academy. Hlerevofore it has been the custom of these or similar vessels 10 proceed to the European squadron; but after due consideration it was decided, and not without good reason, that the practice cruise should be con- fined to our own coasts and vicinity; for tt was thought that the students would be afforded a mach better opportunity of learning their profession, as the vessels went more trequently tn and out of port. Thus by cruising along the coasts, not far from land, most of the dangers and dificulttes against which a vessel has to contend are made more ap- parent and familiar to the youthful mind than @ dozen ocean voyages could posstbly present, Piea- sure and instruction are happily combined ou these crulses, for while entertainments mark the progress of the vessels nothing 1s left undone that can tu any way contribute to the nautical Knowledge of, per- haps, the MOST WILLING PUPILS in the world. Indeea Annapolis is an institution of which the country may well feel proud. The four years’ course there, although exceedingly severe, is nevertheless well calculated to fit the student for all the duties he may be called upon to fuifil, during his career, not excepting any emergency thal may arise. Even the very recreation allowed to the young men at the Naval Academy is turned to good account in the way of drilling, fencing and exercise on board the men-ofl-war that are coutinuousiy an- chored adjacent to the institution. But it is unne- cessary to dilate upon the value of a system so welt known both here and abroad. Considering the paing and methods taken to linpart a full Knowledge: ot wis profession the graduates from Aunapolis ought 0 be FIRST CLASS OFFCIERS { and educated gentlemen, ‘There are at present eighty-flve midstipmen ow the Constellation and sixty on the Saratoga, com- prised of the first, second and third classes, with @ Tull complement of officers and men attached to each, Up to the present both vessels have kept in sight of one another, and will probabiy continue doing 80 until the termination of the cruise. They arrived at tlalifax on the 9th of July ast and re- mained there a week, after which they satled for Cape Cod Bay, the midshipmen meanwnile being thoroughly exercised 1n the arts apperiatning to the proper handling of a ship. At Portland the ciuzens gave a ballin honor of weir visit to that locality, whica was gracefully returned on board the Con stellation, Whose spactous deck afforded any room for the most extensive — terpsichorean festivity. Both the Consteliation and Saratoga then saued for Gardiner’s Bay fur general exerctse, ‘The practice ships subsequently putin at New Lon- don for thelr mails, and after a short cruise througn Long Island Sound revuroed to that harbor, where both vessels lay at anchor until Thursday last, when Commodore Worden having joined the Constella- ion, both she and the Saratoga cleared for Narra- gangett arriving thare the following morning. Only @ short stay Was made al thal jdshionavie watertn: place, and towards noon the two suips round Beaver Tail Light and came to anchor opposite Fort Adams. General Hunt, commander of the post, paid an oficial visit to the Constellation, Up to the present no actual festivities have taken place on board either vessel, Sunday having iniervened, but it is higaly probable that before they leave tne MIDDIBS WILI, DIS ISH THEMSELVES. During the day both the Constellation and Sara- toga were surrounded by gigs, cutters aud sailboats, which had conveyed visitors from the shore. The splendid order, cleaniiness, discipline and gener: aspect of the two ships were most creditavi Everything had a cheeriut look from stem to stern nothing seemed tw be in the way, though the ladter at times gazed in wonderment at the many hovetties which the vessels presented to them. Crowds of midshipmen strolied through the cliy the livelong day, not a litde proud of the favorable impression which, naturally enough, they thought they mace all round. But “the-dear ittle fellows,’ as the tates say, suffered something of a disappointment, since, aller six days of fashionable driving, bathing, dress- ing, dancing and everything else that 18 tashton- able, Newport generaliv takes @ “pap’’ on Suan- day with closed siiniters, Besides the yachismen are rather ahead this time, and the naval officers will have to look sharply aiter their proverbial powers of fascination. It is hard to say il, but the fact is patent.
