This is the statement which, more or less Dunglingly, some of President Gnant’s friends have made a show of denying ; but a6 yet nothing has appeared in relation to the matter emanating directly from the Presi- dent himself. It is certainly time that he should speak out on the subject. Mr. Govry’s assertion is sustained by the ex- istence of two checks for a thousand dollars cach, paid to the Rawiine fund, when he only had to pay one thousand dollars for his own subscription, What was the other thonsand-dollar check for if it was not to pay Gen. Guant’s thousand dollara? Do President Granv's friends mean to accuse Gen, BurtTenripiy of having obtained it uader false pretences and put the money in hip own pocket? This is out of the ques- tion; and the statement of Messrs. Fisk and Goin ia accordingly pretty sure to be believed, ‘This affair also revives in a very unpleasant manner the recollection of Presi. dont Gnant’s alleged connection with the Gold Ring of last summer and fall, ‘There is one way for President GRANT to clear himeelf of the charge of having had Lis subscription to the Rawtixs fund paid Ly one of the partners in the Gold Ring asa present to him.

The names of several distinguished citi zens have been variously connected with the British mission, Mr, FRELINGHUYSEN, Sena. tar Monton, BEN Wap, Judge Ont, the Hon G. W, Contrs, and Judge Prenneront have all been mentioned in relation to this subject; and two of these gentlomen have even received an offer of the mission, and have refused it. It is evident that President ( ‘rt finds considerable difficulty in select- ing ® man to his mind for Mr. MoTLey’s successor ; but we have a suggestion to make to him which we think may put an end to all his embarrassment. We nominate to President Grant for appointment to thie mission the Hon Jessu KR. Gnawnr, of Covington, Ky., now Postmaster of that prosperous city. Our nominee i¢a man noted for his private goodness, his vital picty, and bis family con- nections. Le is emphatically an American, because he could not nossibly have been born in any other country. He is ok in years and ripe in experience, endowed with great natu ral shrewdness, and able todrive @ bargain and keep all he gets. Lord GRANVILLE could never overreach him iu settling the Alabama claims. He would be welcomed in Eogland as the futher of the President; and even ifhe had not half the cspacity and statesmanlike cultivation which he really possesses, Eng: lish flunkeyism vould endow him with the greatest virtues and the most brilliant genius. Besides, be would be able to set an a ple of genuing fragality and democratic simplic ty that would be useful anony the pomp and glitter of British royalty aud aristocrac ‘The salary—$i7,000 a year in gold—is also much betierthan the present official income of Mr, GRANT as Postinaster at Covington. We throw out this idea, and if it relieves the anxiety of the President's mind reapect- ing the British mission, we shall be glad. It may perhaps be objected that the President ought not to appoint one of his own near 18 to an important office, That view 78 prevailed in JEFFERSON'S time, and nerally been adopted by our Presi but more modern ideas came in with aiveut of the preseat eccupant of the Bosides, having appointed has dents ; the White House, hie brother-in-law to the mission to Copen hagcn, why should not the President appoint his father to the mission to London? So good a thing ought not to be allowed to leave the famuy, if it can be helped. aaa Russia on the Rampage. Baron Brunnow, the present Russian Ambassador in France, used to say that the future contest between the British and Rus- tian forces would not be waged on the thors of the Besphorus, but on those of the Oxus, ‘The probability, however, ia that itmay be w d both in Turkey and in India; and, by a remarkable coincidence, the same tele- gram which foreshadows a rupture between he Czar and the Sultan, also announces the outbreak of disturbances in Northern India. It is probably the fear of a complication in the East which makes Great Britain so re- luctant to commit herself in the Franco. German war Ofcourse she must concentrate ul urces upon the defence of her in- ter the Orient and in Asia, whenever these may be menaced by Russia, as they will be soonor or later.

Howover, Joux Rovoxus will know better next time. ————E Mr. GREELEY earnestly seconds President Gnawr’s denunciation of the movement of Grats Brown Screnz in Missouri, This movement, in Mr, Grexuey’s opinion, is nothing but “an effort to disorganize the Republican party without cause,” What does Mr. Gneetry k of the nomination of Stewant Woopronn Is that anything but an effort to digorganize the Republican party without cause? And ought Republicans who aro attached to their pfinciples to support such an effort by voting for Woonrorn? While Mr. Guenuer is thus en- deavoring to beat Brows and Scuvrz in Mis- eouri, why does ie not lift up his voice against the disorganization of the Republican party in New York? oe The cost of Spanish military operations against Cuba is pretty accurately stated in a letter written by a Spanish officer from Puerto Principe, dated on the 24th of July last, and pub. lished in the Universal of Madrid on the 24th of August. The writer states that in answer to questions from several deputies, the Minister of War confessed at the end of last year that 40,000 troops had up to thet date been sent to Cuba; and he suggests that i¢ would be we'l for the same Minister to furnish the country with an account of what has become of those men. Tle asserts that from carefully compiled data be can prove that the losses which the Spanish army in Cuba snffered from October, 1869, to May, 1870, summed up over 13,000 men and more than 600 officers ; and be argues from this asccrtained loss what the losses must have been in the preceding thirteen months. His object is to rectify th public belief that,'in order to conceal the real state of affairs even from the home Government, Cuban officials continue to draw pay from the treasury at Madrid fur both men and officers who have long ago"gone to their last accovnt. ‘The writer goes on to prove the absurdity on the part of the Government of Cuba of calling the Cubans mere bands of robbors and incendiaries ; an absurdity wl ich Pre: made his own in L's infamous Spanish mess June Inst, ‘This absurdity, as the writer justly says, is proved by the ver, ds of that Gov- ernment, How, he ashs, w rebbers resist the eflorts of 0, owk of tue volunteers ld disciplined men, not to # and mobilized troops who bave taken the He thon very ably reviews the attempts to suppress the insurrection which the Government has made in € » Re ern Department, fn the Villns dist: where, and asserts that in ¢ very encounter, with outa single exception, the adeantage haa been twith the Cutan, from the facts that the t, and else behind intrenchments or ia ambush, they know the country so much beit enemics Thi » letter, be it rem officer and y journals of the 8 The Hon.

Moreover, Stewart can well afford to give # million of fraues instead of a paltry twenty thousand wo each of tue belli- gerents, considering that he will gain immensely by the war. This he will do by effecting his purchases of French and German goods at low panic prices, while with bis usual cuteness be continues to charge the old. xtravagant prices to the families aud dealers who confidingly honor him with their patronage. He has made o vast fortune out of French aud German goods, and uow is the time when he ought to appropriate @ good share of it for the benefit of the poor French aod German soldiers’ widows and orphans. pubdibiientEt oie Mr. Moriey would hardly have tele grephed to Washiagton about the Prussian Gov. ernment’s intentions if he had aot been requ ed to do so by Count Berssroarr, at the instig tion of Bismance. It is remarkable that Mr. Baxcnorr should have boen thus slighted, and that information which ough: to have passed through his hands should be communicated through the medium of Mr. Moray.

Or has the Fulse- Reporting Tribune only made another false report? Mr. Basser is to ap- pear before the people in Cooper Institate this week, and he owes it to himself and to the whole colored race, whose pioueer in diplomatic honors he is, to explain this seeming discrepancy. He should also seize the occasion to remove the impression which has gone out that he moulded his Washington apeech to please his master’s lin- cering hopes of succeeding with the corrupt St. Domingo job. This he can do by impressing on the public the eapability of the black race for self-government, and the strong desire of the Do- minicans and Haytians not to be annexed to the United States; both of which questions he has had every opportunity of examining. And let hitn at the same time candidly express himself on Baez, whom he has doubtless learned in Hayti to hold in hatred and contempt. Silence in this case would be criminal both to bis own people and to every othor citizen of the United States; while a bold, straightforward, manly statement of the true condition of affairs in Hayti and St. Domingo will drive the last nail in th: coffin of @ gross swindle, and will earn both for Mr, assert and his race the honor aud respect of the entire nation, white and black alike, for evermore, dition—Indiference of the Ma Correspondence of The San.

The inhabitants of Ontario were patarally indignant that “ treason” and open rebellion should bo encouraged by mon who were profeesedly loyal to the British Crown. Indignation meetings were heid throughout Ontario denoaveing Kiel and bis coadjutors, and calling on the Dominion Government, then in session, to send an armed expedition to the Northwest Territory to subdue tho rebels, and to take possession of tho lund. 80 unanimous was tho CRY OF VENGEANCE FROM ONTARIO that the Ministry were reluctantly compelled to comply with the demands of the people, in spite of the protestations of the French population to the contrary.

The popularity, or what is left of it, of the Adminis- tration was seriously affected ; and it is not strange that the Navy Departient has willingly seized upon the occasion of the public funeral in Now York to exhibit a desire to add to the pomp of the occasion, It is understood that the eor- vette Guerriere, Capt, Stnvans, will bring the coffin containing Admiral Farragors corpse from Portsmouth to New York. The corvette California and the sloop of war Brooklyn have been ordered to act as an escort, All the sailors, marines, and regular troops in and around New York, aud the crews of the little squadron bear- ing the remains, will march in procession with our citizen soldiery on the day of the funeral.
