General Grant, replying to various addresses which he recoived at Sheflleld yesterday, referred to the American tariff, and reminded his hearers that the United States had to raise money to pay off the great Yebt incurred by the war, The revenue {rom imports was regarded solely as the means of attaining that yod. If the United States were to abolish the tovenue from imports foreign bondhoklers would very soon cry out when their interest was not forthcoming, He added:—‘‘We get along well enough with the payment of our debt, and will compete with you im your manufactures in the markets of the world. Tne more of your merchants and mechanics that go to America the better. Nothitg pleases us more than the immigration of the inaustry and inte)- gence of this community.

Nothing but complaints are being neard on all sides of immovable stagnation, On the Stock Exchange, where the grumbling is erally more andible than in other departments of business in bad times, mat- ters are well nigh desperate with a good many whose means are limited. It is more or Jess the same in all aepartiments of trade. At the best only a quict busi- ness is doing. There is, unfortunately, only too gooa reason to believe that the nation, as a whole, like many \odividaals, must prepare for a further struggle af more or Jess magnitude, from a commercial point of view, bofore we regain tho smooth path of pros- perity.’?

The Vation’s porter called upon bim at the Soldiers’ Home early in the mornmg, and the President stated, in reply to ipquiries, that bis trp had been o most agreeable one, freo from all mishaps on the rail- “roads and otherwise; thatthe weather had been ¢x- ceptionaliy fine, and that his reception and that of the excursion party had been during the wholo trip ex- coedingly cordial, enthusiastic and gratifying. In reply to questions the President said that he could say personally but little more than he said in bis speeches, and that bis opportunities of observation were not as good as those of the newspaper men, but that as far as he was able to ,juage, the Southern people are as cnthusiastic and loyal to the representative of a common government asany. The Presideut also stated, in reply to ques- tions, that he hoped there was no particular South; that Southern and Northern interestw were identical, and that the main object to be now considered was the unity of interest in improving the material prosperity of the country. In reply to a question that his trip, being the first of @ President since the war, was venoticial in har- monizing the general interest of the country, the President said that he desired to learn the wants and condition of the people through the Union, and that the people were the best judges of the effects of his Southern visit, He summed up the interview by saying: Nothing could be ploasanter than my trip through- out. The country i# upparently recovering trom its extreme business prostration and the agricultural in- terests of the South seems to have felt the hard times less than the others, and I believe that the era of good feeling betwoen the North und South is entirely per- manent and that they are sincere in their expression of a community of intorost. , eee raeneenneees ALEXANDER H.

The Indians of that agency are mostly farmers and very peaceable people, but have been tor months much excited by a religious quarrel! to whlen the Catholic priest on one side and Agent Stowe on the other were the principal par- ties, The Indian Bureau had already decided upon compeiling the priest, Father Tomazio, to leave the ren jon, but at frst orderod an investigation, which was made last July by Hons.

To these .wentiomea the Indians—both Episcopals and Catho- lice—tmade serious complaints against Stowe, and finuily declared that if be was vot taken away thoy would themselves put him away.

A letter from Punta Arenas, September 6, tn reter- ence tho Kisenstick affair, and the diplomatic ata. culty connected with it, whieh occurred at the Nic araguan capital in June last, puts the whole question ip av entirely different light, and gives a substantially pew version of i, It says:— Mz, Leal, a Nicaraguan citizen, was married to Miss Stedman, stepdaughter of the German Consul After having lived togesher for some time Mra, Leal left the abode of her husvand in consequence of the bad treat- ment received from him, and took retuge tp the rem. | dence of her stepiather, Mr, Kisenstick, the German Consul, The said lady applied to the Ecclesastica, Court fora divorce, and the tatter ordered that while the question was being considerod sho should remain under the protection of her tamily. 4 ROUGH METHOD OF REDRESS. Mr. Leal, wishing to impede the legal proceedings determined on the night of the 20th of November, of last year, to recover his wife by force. With this ob- ject, he asked and obtained from the Alealde of Mana- gua armed men, and in company with thom and some friends, be took a convenient position in which to await the family of tho Consul, who were at the time attending a reunion, When the latter arrived at the lace of ambush they were suddenly atsacked, Mr. Eiseustiick beaten, hts brother severely wounded, and even the indies recoived several biows trom the butts of the muskets which the ¢oldiers carried. The fumily of the German representative was then led through the streets of the city, exposed itaperations of the police the same ag though bo @ lot of assassing or robbers, The injured wishing to obtain redress for the outrage applied to the courts, demunding justice, but these under differ. ent protexts eluded the demand, referring the case {rom one Juuge to another.

The courts, no doubt un- dor direction of the government, made a case in uc- cordance with its views, and without taking the declarations either of the defendants or of their witnesses, but listening to tbe argumenis of Mr. Leal, dictated « most original sentence. It says briefly aa fullowe;:—I'bat Mr. Loal (the culprit) not baving re- ceived avy wound, and not being able to obtain sufll- cient data as to the injuries sustained by the Movars.
