Gen Grant and His Maligners.

—A- MM.* U TM quiei wiiV in wnicn rremaem Grant ton •bout nla work, la k perpetual No sooner have they invented and published a programme for the Ai’tninU(ration than they find It has adopted •om ething else, and by the time that is well abased, they go offoa some new tack, only to find that they neither know, nor have known anything on the subject, nor mafia a rational guess at it This perpetual fell ure is humiliating; somethin* has to be done to redeem their feeble sagacity from ridicule, and, as each feflure fevelope Itself tbey beUk e thetnSblves to a column or two of epithets to hide their chagrin. This is the true explanation of all that rant the press spouts so copiously from time to time. Rational men take a different view of the Administration. They know it commenced its labors under extraordinary difficulties, and they were not silly enough to expect miracles. They see a elow but steady advance made toward the settlement of greet national problems They see nearly restored order, peace, and prosperity throughout the South. They see that the great victory of freedom over riavery is fully achieved, and the question of ages settled. They sea the national debt steadily diminishing, and a purpose to adopt measures for Ha final extinguishment, as well as for a proper reduction of internal taxes. They see apurpose to put the currency on a more mature and solid basis, and to more fully equalise the burdens ot the nation. And, in all this, they see a wise statesmanship, not attempting rash or startling projects, to magnify the personal importance of some individual men, but the safe, if alow, measures of a real retrenchment, and a return to the ways of economy, and solid prosperity for the whole people. » The Democratic party managed so well When in power, that it plunged the nation into a sectional war, and as was to have been expected, took the wrong side in the contest. The Republican party have managed to restore peace, good will, and an enduring prosperity; and naturally took be side of liberty and progress. The Democracy are still looking back to Buqhanan’s time as the eml odiment of their patriotism, and as the happy end of their highest efforts. The Republican party looks upon that time as one of national shame and disgrace—as the worst period in the history of the Republic -a scandal on manhood, and a libel on the honor of the country. With such diverse views, how can it be expected that the parties can agree on the present Administration T The antipodes are not wider apart than Buchanan and Grant, and there is scarcely a public measure now that bears a resemblance to those when Democracy blossomed and bore fruit Even measures of the same nature have grown to that magnitude that the similarity is scarcely apparent. The Democratic legacy left the nation was war and debt . The Republican legacy will be peace, but taxation to pay the Democratic debt. Hence it comes with illgraoe from that party to clamor about a debt of their own creating, and a taxation of which they sowed the seed. The people may well congratulate, themselves that they have a President who does nothing for show, but everything for the substantial interests of the country. All his “fail wet" (?) have been successes, and he will leave his great office lamented by the honest and patriotic masses of men of all parties He has a fixed and honest purpose, and a strong will to do right, and all the jeers of the Democratic press won’t move nim an inch from the path of rectitude he is following.—Chicago Republican.

Haar uv Eain B’ixxw, } Sixth Wabd, Noo Yosx, I April 30, 1870. | A bute hez fallen onto the Sixth ward! Last nite at precisely 3 o’clock this morein, ez near ez we kin learn, Patsey McGroggin departed this life. Dimocrisy hez lost a pilfer— my bar a constant and prompt paying customer, and Father McGrath a paruhner wich never refoozes his mite to religious purposes when his finanshel Operashens hed proved successful. Patsey McGroggin is gone 1 He met his fate m attemptin to get out uv the area winder uv the house uv abloatid aristocrat in the upper pert uv the city. Patsey and a friend uv hizzen knowd ez English Bill wuz in the house, when owin to alarm wich wuz made they become aware that they wuz considered in the lite uv Introoders. They hed gathered together a pocket-book, some gold watches, silver plate and rich, and wux attemptin to leeve the house quietly, when Patsey wuz sexed by the injoodishus proprietor thereof. Patsey, in self defence, knockt him down with a billy, when the wretch levelled a pistil at him and shot him dead. And not content with this he procoored the arrest of English Bill on the charge nv burglary! Thus two .uv my customers is cut off at Ofiestroke I PaUey McGroggin wuz born in County Clare, Ireland, in the year 1833. He made his appearance in public life in London in 1844, where he wuz arrested ez a pickpocket. and by a prejoodist jury, wich bleeved the statement uv a citizen, who swore he saw him pick a pockit, he wuz sentenced to a pnzen for bovs. On his reFase Patsey went into partnership with a distinguished and brilliant burglar, and after a variety uv advenchers he found hisself in Botany Bay, his goin there insted uv bein hung in England bein a inscrutable mystery wich he hisaelf wuz never able to solve. But Botany Bay wuz not destined to hold him. Killin a guard or two he made his escape on a whaler, and landid uv course in the City uv Noo York, wich he knew wus mostly settled and entirely controlled by that class uv his countrymen wich wood sympathize with one in his sitooashun. Here his career wuz a brilyant one. He imraejitiy jined the Dimocratic party to wich his instinks naterally led him. and he proveda useful and active member thereof

Heoommeneed first ex a humble repester, but the activity he manifested won made him a marked man. One day he voted twenty-eight times, and once he performed the aatoundin feat uv votin six times at.the same polls! His knowledge uv pugilism and his skill in theyooee uv the dub soon put him at the head uv a clan strong enuff to bid the poleece defiance, and his fucher wuz aahoored. Combinin politics with burglary he ■Mos a handsome livin by his own efforts. He was second in more than twenty prize tight*, and wuz an enthusiastic natron of the rat pit. His pet tarrier, Dublin pet, trained by him. it will be remembered, won the match agin Yaller McKee’s dog Terror, wich resulted in a shindy between the principals wich naturally resalted in McKee's deceeae, for wich accident and homy cide jist afterward he served two years In Sing Sine. An important election ok kurrin and his services bein needed he wuz pardoned out Ez the recognized bead of the Sixth Ward Throat Slashers, uv course he held many posishens uv honor and profit Paueyand his friends carried Connect!

Shortly afterward he wux elected Aiderman, he had a contruck for street cleanin, wua made keeper of the butte uv muskets in one ay tie Armories, msd wua, last year, a member uv tike Legtoiacher. Thia last poniehen didn’t soot him, as the other members from the city, knowin the intracies uv the Legislachen better, yoosed to get his vote frekently without payin for It. Wat he liked best wux oontracks for street cleanin. ’Twuz he wich taught me the mysteries uv that Manis. Ho Wanst bed to bid dose agin an unsofliticated contxacfctor, who supposed that streets reely had tv be cleaned, and 1 wins surprised at the low Aggers he took U at. “ Patsey," sex I “ yoo’l lose money on that contrsck. It’ll cost more to do the work than yoo get for it" “It is cussed low," he replied, “ but ex we don’t never do the work at all I kin live at it, es I don’t hev to divide too much.” Patsey wux an ardent friend of Ameriky and its instooebns, partikerly the Dimekratic parly. When he wuz put onto the Skooi Board and wuz at the same time in the Legislacher his heart biled over with love for his adopted country, and he was not backard in expressln it “In wat other country than Ameriky, and in wat other party than the Dimekratic,” sed he, sobbin with emo*hen, “cood I hev attained such grandjerf Why, hed I stayed in London I would hev been hung ten yeers ago." - But Pateey's controllln pashun wuz an intense abidin hatred uv England. He wuz a member of all the Fenian Circles, and collected more money for freein Ireland from the tyranicle rool uv England than any man in Noo York. He alius wept when he thot uv the appreshun the Irish wux a groanin under. But this feelin wuz eclipst by his hatred uv the nigger, ez an evidence uv wich I mite menshun that a circle uv wich he wuz a member acilly appropriated a thousand dollars wich they had raised to free Ireland, to a fund to put down anti slavery agitashen in thia country. Patsey hisself seriously contemplated at one time goin South that he mite heva legal rite to kill a nigger. But he thought better uv it Hecobd do it jest ez safely in Noo York. He led the Throat Slashers in the famous riots uv 1863, and his wuz the hand wich put the torch to the nigger orphan asylum; with his own good right hand he beat out the brains uv two niggers, and wept becoz two more that he had m a corner escaped hitn. His death is lamented by all uv the fre kenters uv my house. Hed he lived he wood hev bin put upon the Police Board and the appointments he wood hev controlled wood hev saved his friends and partners a great deal uv trouble and molestasben. Hed he bin on that Board English Bill wood not now be languishin in a Basteel. The devoshun uv his friends fetched me. It bein Intimatid that money wood be required to hev the proper masses sed for the repose uv his sperit, every one uv bis friends rushed out immejitly to procoor enuff to do it handsome. Two uv em succeeded in goin through a drunken countryman wich strayed into this vicinity, and gettin a watch wich they pawned, and others for this pious purpose garroted a man within a square uv Broadway. Patsey’s fucher is therefore ashoored. Out uv respeck for the deceest I shut my bar and put crape onto the door for jest an hour, wich wuz ez much greef ez I cood afford st that time. Peace to his ashes! It is perhaps ez well that he went hentz. The Fifteenth Amendment is a reality, and hed he stayed he mite hev bin compelled to affilyate with niggers instid uy bustin •uv em, and I doubt whether his nacher cood hev endoored so sudden and severe a strain.

The Richmond Disaster.

Thx bells had just tolled the hour of 11, and death like silence reigned, as Mr. Starke, the Clerk, entered and placed his books on the table. Judge Joynes was in his seat Mr. Starke, leaning over the railing, was talking with him, while the rest of the judges were in the conferenceroom, not. quite prepared to enter upon their day’s duty. The counsel for Mayor Ellyson, Messrs. Neeson and Meredith, had taken their seats and were ready to proceed to business. Ex Governor Wells and L. H. Chandler, Esq., were also in their places, and the reporters of the Enquirer, Dispatch, Whig, and State Journal were at the desks set apart for their use and accommodation. The moments were spent In pleasant conversation by the spectators present. Various were the speculations as to the final result, when, all at once, a panel piece of ceiling fell, and then the girder, which is represented by the line of partition between the Clerk’s office and the court room, gave way withan awful crash, and precipitated the spectators who were in the gallery of the court room to the main floor, and the additional weight in one single moment’s time crushing the court-room floor through. The mass of human beings who .were in attendance were sent, mingled with the bricks, mortar, splinters, beams, iron bars, desks, and chairs, to the floor of 'the House of Delegates, and in a second more over fifty souls were launched into eternity! The whole atmosphere was thick with a dense cloud of dust from the plastering, and the human beings sent up a groan which will ring forever in the ears upon which it felt In a moment, a few survivors clinging to the windows and fragments of hanging timber, and the bare and torn walls, were all that remained to mark the place where, only a moment before there was a scene of life, vigor and hope. The scene about the Capitol building just after the sad occurrence was one of terror. The first notice that those who were in the building had of the impending evil was the premonitory rumbling as the floor was settling. Then there came a fearful crash, accompanied by a cry of human agony and terror which smote the hearts of ail who heard it. Id a moment the frightful situation was realized. The few who had been so fortunate as to be able to get into the windows shouted aloud for help for those who had fallen, and called for ladders. In a short time the bells were tolling, and the hook and ladder truck being brought upon the spot, the ladders were put up to the windows, and the work of humanity began. The blinding dust within prevented any one from seeing anything, and the rushing of persons within the building and the erics of the wounded were all that could be "heard. - ‘

|n the House of Delegates there was a Scene that fairly made one’s heart' bleed. As the dust cleared away a little, a mass of timbers and rubbish of every description was descried, and the reflection of the numbers of human beings crushed beneath its weight, dead and dying, was sickening, . Add to this the crick and groans of those who were there, many in the agony of death, and there is a picture to make the stoutest hearts quail The entire hall was flooded with the ruins, ex eept the space under the gallery. Desks, chairsand tables were crushed completely, showing the .force of the falling wreck. The work of removing the debris was a difficult one, but was undertaken by thoee present with a will, and it was not long before the unfortunate meh were being rescued from their palnftil position. The doors and windows of the hall were

thrown open, and within were soon collected the busy workers, who, amid their own shouts and the agonized groans of those they were seeking to rescue, were removing Cha timbers As th* wounded and deaa were reached, they were brought out and placed in the Senate Chamber, or else under the trees in the square, where they were attended by our city physicians and others, who were on hand with such appliances as could be, obtained. As the men were brought out, they were so covered with dust that they could scarcely be recognized, and for a while the anxious inquiries of the bystanders, “ Who is he T * could not be answered. One by out they were borne out—the dead and dying. Here was one man gled tod silently enduring, another crying aloud with pain, while the still form of a third told too well that its spirit had fled to another world. In one moment the gray hairs of age could bo descried upon the head of some dead one, while in the next the tall, manly form of one who had been cut off in the full bloom of life was being borne past. It seemed as if sickening horrors would never cease, and ages seemed to pass in the performance of this sad duty. The tolling of bells, the rushing and shouting of excited men, and the news of the fearful calamity, which spread like wild-fire over the city in an incredible short space of time, brought an immense crowd of all classes, ages and colors, to the square. Hundreds of wives, mothers, and friends, were constantly filling the grounds, who, with wringing hands, sought, in despair, to know if any of their loved ones had been of the number mangled. War, with its horrors, its agonies, its sad separations, its ghastly wounds, its horrible deaths, pictures to the mind no such scene as the one which was yesterday enacted in the square.— Richmond Diepatch, April 28.

HENRY CLEWS.

A Brief Sketch of an Eminent Banker. As nations advance in wealth and numbers, and as their commercial affairs multiply, the character of their private banking firms becomes of the highest importance. Trade watches the manipulations of those who handle its medium of exchange with the keenest and most anxious scrutiny. Distrust tn reference to the processes that transfer money is instantly felt to the remotest extremity of the body politic, and in order to keep the latter in healthy action, the flow must be pure and regular in a business point of view, and must sweep through uncontaminated channels. We have been lead to these remarks by careful observation of some of our hightoned banking firms, and the saving influence which they have exercised over business by the excellence of their example. Among these the house of Henry Clews A Co. has become eminent, of late years, for those qualities that should distinguish the financial calling. Henry Ciews, Esq., the senior partner and head of this esteemed house—a native of England, and about thirty-six years of age—came to the United States as early as 1849, with his father, whose heavy connection with American trade gave the young man an immediate opportunity of noting the active, enterprising and yet peculiarly practical tone of our people. The latter so won upon him that he determined to abandon the study for the ministry, which had been his first intention, and betake himself to business. With this view he quickly sought and obtained a clerkship in one of the most prominent woolen houses of the day, where his untiring industry for a tionary term of nine y^ra=j)^ffiJ7*7r; r y j- ge p Ce , at tJle "S&relSexcellent personal habits and amiability of temperament, gave him solid position, and won for him, literally, hosts of friends. Mr. Wilson G. Hunt, the head of ths house where he was thus employed, bestowed upon him the highest marks of approval as his service lengthened, and, at last, when Mr. Clews sought an independent path, vouched for his ability and integrity. At the early age of twenty-five, Mr. Clews became a member of the enterprising banking firm of Stout, Clews & Mason. After one or two changes of title, but all the while rising in public esteem, the house is now established, and respected, far and wide, under the title of Henry Clews & Co. The same energy, clear-sightedness and. activity, which had given the subject of our sketch his first success, attended him as he advanced. From dealing in commercial paper, he took up Government securities, when heavy loans were continually negotiated for the nation. The needs of the country were pressing, and in the patriotism and intellect of Mr. Clews, found timely help. By his arguments and ready investments, other capitalists were encouraged to step forward at the moment when weaker heads and colder hearts were afraid to indorse the Union loan. To his example, Mr. Clews added the influence of personal representation, and by his agreeable manners, as well as by the resources of his thorough business knowledge, carried many a firm with him in the good work, which otherwise might have stood aloof His faith never swerved in the darkest hours of the country’s trials, and as the clouds grew more somber, his enthusiasm only brightened. At length, in 1864-63, the Clews concern had raised its business operations to several millions per diem, of which the National loan received a goodly share. At last the war terminated, and Mr. Clews and his associates found themselves among the wealthiest and most distinguished of American bankers. This position was easily maintained and steadily improved, until 1868, when all stock operations for members of the firm, either individually or collectively, were, by written agreement, abandoned. As the country, resuming its activity, began to breathe freely again, and the busy hum of railroad preparation was heard from all quarters, making ready for a new development of national prosperity, Mr. Clews found fresh opportunities for beneficial investment, and of these his sagacious mind and acquired experience made brilliant use. The national securities, which he held, were sold by him to an extent sufficient to set free a considerable amount of the capital that he had placed in them, and these funds were, at once, reinvested in railroad loans. At the present time, the Clews firm are the financial agents of some of the most important roads in the United States.

The passing visitor in Wall street has but to glance at the busy throng which hurries in and oat of their spacious offices in the edifice formerly used by the United States Treasury, through the workingday,in order to feel satisfied that Mr. Clews has a large measure of public confldence and esteem. The impression is general, that when his name appears in connection With any projected improvement, all is welt Nor is Mr. Clews unaccuqtomed tp' express his financial opinions with terseness and power. He wields a tranchant pen, and the highest financial intellects in the land nave profited by his suggestions. Still in the prime of manhood, Mr. Clews stands upon an eminence to which fcw others have been able to climb. Behind and around him lie«beautifully ordered, the evidence of untiring exertions, that have sustained and extended the welfare of the country, and filled his own coffers with well-earned rewards. The future brightens at his feet, full of noble opportunities. Who can doubt that the after-career of so gifted and valued a citizen will reflect still fairer honor upon the name of the American merchant, and the estimate in which the world shall hold tlja’oharntterisric type of ths American gentleman.

Persons of bilious habit, instead of throwing the whole glandular system into a state of morbid irritation with mercurial poison, seek relief, and find it. In the operation of that wholesome vegetable alterative upon the disordered liver. ■Nervous sufferers, tremulous, weakand despondent, recruit their shattered energies with a course of the great invlgorant, and bless the day when the adulterated liquors of commerce were superseded by a medicated stimulant, perfectly efficient and entirely harmless. Travelers by land and sea rejoice In the possession of an agreeab’e corrective, which protects them from the evil effects of malaria, from sea sickness, and from the disturbing influences of changes of temperature, and change of water. The weak and debilitated feel their strength return and their spirits revive under its bracing, appetizing. gently exhilarating action. It is the only stimulant which cautious physicians can conscientiously recommend to ladles in delicate health, or to the aged and decrepld. There Is no' a city, town or settlement on the American continent where it is not recognized as a household remedy, and a safeguard against epidemics ; and in short, whenever there is intelligence, Srndence and common sense, Hostetter’s Stomach litters is pronounced a standard specific, for which, in the whole range of pharmacy, theie is no substitute or equivalent.
