THE FLOP OF T. W. TIPTON. Some Nebraska Political Incidents— How President Arthur Was Hothered About the Land Offices, Written for the Omaha Bea, General Adam in a recent copyrighted letter, into n discus sion of the chary ties of General Grant as relates to his intercourse with public men, in the discharge of his multifarious duties from Shiloh to Mount MeGregor. There are certain invariable laws of human mature that govern the action of men thatare at once asimutable and as lasting as “The Rock of Ages.'' Gene ant was not an exception to the rule. “‘He loved his friends and he hated his enemies.’ When a question arose for his decision he never hesitated. Where it was possible he clung to his friends, and unless they put themselves— as Joyce, Babeock and Belknap did— within the pale of the law, he held out his helping hand and saved them. No aracter that ever marked the pages of tory more clearly delin sions of human nature than does the car of General Grant. Whilst he was replete in all those better attributes of a great man, 1 have read of none tha sessed the same in nble qual that seem to have been his guardian at all times and under all cumstances. He knew when to talk, and to whom he should talk, and there is no record that he ever made a mistal Most men in every degree and every sphere of life talk too much. He knew when to be silent. CAUGIHT IN BAD COMPANY. In 1868 a man by the name of R. C. Campbell, of Louisville, Ky., had a claim against the United States for one-third mterest in the steamboat R, M. Patton, that General Grant eaptured at the fall of Fort Donaldson. There were three owners of the boat; two of them were rebels, and they took the boat up the Tennessee river at the commencement of the war. The boat was used, worn out and torn up by the government. My father w the attorney to collect this claim. Papers were prepared, and in company with my her we presented them to General Grant for his appr He read them over, handed them to my father with the remark that *“not a dollar should ever aid to Mr. Cam “Why not?” asked my father. general: “He been caught in bad company with two rebels in the owne ship of @ steamboat.” This somewhat angered the old gentleman, and he sai “(ieneral, were you eyer caught company?” *‘No; not with rebel the immediate response, and that termi- nated the interview. This took place on the corner of Seventeenth and G streets m Washington, Once outside I began to remon: e with my father, telling him he had ruined the claim by insulting General Grant, when I was informed by r that *‘he had as much right to get mad as General Grant,” nml that if I did not hush up he would thrash mein a minute. Although I was about twenty- years old and had been through the knew that the combative organ nd ability of my father, so far asI was concerned, were equal if not superior to Grant’s, 50 I had notl ung more to say, If Ihad he would have “moved upon my works immediately.”” ON'S APPOINTMENT. t time 1 nad anything to do or neral Grant was at that mem- rable contest in the senate over the con- firmation of Henry M. Atkinson as com- missione ons. Grant had sent mto the senate Atkinson’s name as com- missioner of pensions. Tipton, then in the senate from Nebraska, wa Atkinson's father-in-law, and had made a speech in the senate on nepotism and the Sun Domingo purchnse. Some one had written the pre letter abusing Atkinson roundl; president told Senator Hitcheocl it, and said that if it was true he would withdraw Atkins ‘The senator came to me with a card 1sl\mf, an audience with the president, and told me about the letter and asked me 1o go to the white house and tell the president that it was a vile enlumny. I went, and upon wd being presented to General ant he admitted me. After telling what business was, he rang his bel mv m he handed me th (llm writer’s name I have never men- tioned). I told him that its contents were untrue and that the writer was o ! aid to me: ‘‘Please put that in wntmg.” 1did so at his table, and informed him that I would get other letters to the same effect, waich I did that day, and took them to' the white house gave them to General Babeock. lhuny Atkinson’s name was not with- drawn and the senate confirmed him, TIPTON’S FLOP. Just before this a circumstance oc- curred that will explain why g republ can Uuited States senator from Nebraska supported Greeley, and finaily went over to the democrats and now is an officer under this administration in a land oflice in this state. I refer to 1. W. Tipton, It about like this: Cu rz and Charles Sumner had begun their tirade on tne recommendation of President Grant to pnrchase the island of San Domingo, and had dragged into the dis- cussion the charge of ‘‘nepotism,’ Thomas Corwin Tipton, a son of the senator, was u clerk at Leeds or Hull, in 1d, I'do not remember which plilce, und the consul in charge, or vice-consul, whichever he was, died, ' The son of the senator immediately asked for the oflice, The senator went to the president and asked for the oflice. President Grant told him he should haye it, and sent the name to the secretary of state to e it sent Lo the senate. There was som ble delay, as there sometimoes name beiy , and the senator went to the seer of stite to see about it. While lulkmg (0 the late R. Chew, then elief clerk of the state department, the scnator took oceasion to denounce the uction of the president on the San Domingo business. Mr. Chew told the or that he did not think he 1 abusing his friend, the in that w: Ay, es| n he was aske ing the uppointment of his son, and that he would \\nhhul\l the name for further orders. The president being informed, thdrew the name at once. I heard eral Grant tell Senator Hitcheock this, and the senator took me with him to the white house so t 1at we could both let it be known whi Tipton was for Greeley and about to beeome a democrat, Let Scnator ‘Tipton deny this and 1 can Prove it, though Genoral Grant, Senator litcheoek, M¥. Chew and Genéral Bab. cock are all dead. Just as he was a friend and clung to ll.-m{ Atkinson, just 50 he disliked Tipton and drove hin into the demoeratie party, wh he belongs. HOW LOGAN \VA!

He was so agreeably sur, he pat on his hat and went to the white house and told the president. The friendship between Grant and L was nevel n relaxed. SYLPH DISPATCH. There was an act in the draw eral Grant's life that settles beyond a question that he was a man of the strongest prejudices, though more often than otherwise d the great fae of concealing the feclings that were uppermost in his mind. When Joyce and l’cl)mml\l were in trouble in St. Louis and on their road to the penitentiary, there was u nussing link, or rather o mystery surrounding the case that scemed insoluble, one for which the shrewdest detectives could not furnish a solution. “Who was it that sent the dispatches signed ‘Sylph’ from Washingtony Just before the trial one of the detectives called on 8 ry Bristow of the treas- who wrote that dis Bristow was indicted nd was cquitted.

AN APPRECIATED APPOINTMENT. On the 1st of March, 1877, three days before Grant's time expir I asked Sen- ator Paddock to give me a card for an interview with the president. I told the ¢ my busines: nd he gave me the aw the president about 11 0’clock 1 told him that my father was venty vears of age; that he had s been a gepublican; that he had held an oftice of emolument, but that I wanted him to have the signature of President Grant to a comm ort to leave to his posterit, they might say that one of ti neestors was an officcholder under ant.

A favorite retreat of the imbecile, however, was Linder: hof, which “is in the mountains on the road leading from Munich to Hohen- sehwangan. It was carcfully guarded night and day, and not a soul was al- lowed to approach iton any protext. Here, carefully hidden aw among the trees, the king kept the famous Indian kiosk, which was such a curiosity at the Paris exposition of 1867, There 18a story that when the king visited the exposition he was presented to the £ mpress Bugenie in this Lun and that on that occasion the boyish monarch indulged in o mild flirtation with the beautiful empress, and in tender recolleetion of that episode le bought the kiosk and carried it to his mountain eyrie. At Linderhof, too, Louis had n peculiar retreat, modeled after the magical cave of KyFhauser. It is constructed in the side of the mountain, and its entrance is covercd by a simple stone. When the King wished to retreat to even greater solitude he touched a seeret i I t stone swinging nois % ing a large apartment in the in' of the mount in, brilliantly illu- minated by myriads of lights shining through colored glass.

The latest cr: of the king was his love of moonlight. He had not for years ventured out of doors in the daylight. Healways traveled atnight,and his moyements were as secret as he could make them.
