Nxw York, September 20, 1871.
ew York is rapidly filling np with i
usual fall influx of visitors and returnini
West, and country tradespeople, keep
tho hotels filled to overflowing, while
from the watering places and the sea side
resorts, tho country and Europe, come
the denizens of Fifth, Madison and Lex
ington Avenues, and tho aristocratic “up
town” streets, where “uppertendom’’
sides.
THE CATHOLIC CHARITABLE INTITUTIONS
of New York do an immense amount of
what Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton called
“the fragmentary work of cliarity,” aud
at the same time declared that "reform
ers like the female suffragists had no time
to attend to it” “The Foundling Asy
lum of the Sisters of Charity” is one of
those institutions that bos done more to
ameliorate the moral leprosy of New York
than any charity ever established here.
It has been just two years since it was
opened, and it has saved the lives of over
2000 infants, who would otherwise havo
been sacrificed to the modern New York
Moloch of infanticide, in one or another
form. The endowments from tho State
for this charily have been very liberal,
but for all that, it takes the unflagging
exertion of the noblest and best of New
York’s wealthy matrons to keep the insti
tution up.
It is as amusing ns it is interesting to
visit the asylum, especially on Tuesdays.
On that day the ladies meet who aid the
Sisters of Charity iu sustaining the
house; and while they arc engaged in the
spacious parlors below collecting money,
and cutting and making baby linen for
tho little foundlings, eight hundred littio
ijnbies aro crying, or laughing, or tod
dling around in tho rooms above them.
All tho children cannot bo kept iu the
house at present occupied by the Sisters
ou North Washington Hqmire; but when
the asylum proper is erected, none will
be put out to nurse, but all kept under
tbo same roof. YVlioovcr comes to New
York should spend at least one morning
in visiting tbe Foundling Asylum.
THAT WONDERFUL WOMAN,
Victoria WoodtauU, will never cease to be
tbe nine days' wonder of New York.—
She has emerged from the family difficul
ties that threatened to shipwreck the fair
/’mWenfopresumptive, a short-time
back, and now indorsed by tho
whole rank and file of tbe female suffrage
party, augmented by tbo Spiritualists.—
She'has gone to Cleveland to address the
latter, and probably made ono of her irn-
>ossioned orations before a largo nadi-
licncc of tho mediums in that city last
night
Just imagine Y’ickio to be a coarse,
masculine, strong-minded lookiug indi
vidual She's just the reverse. She’s
iretty—at times beautiful Has Udv-

is mystical and visionary, while her haud-

Washington, D. O., Sept, 21, 187L
The Mixed Commission, appointed un
der the twelfth article of the Treaty of
Washington to settle the claims existing
between tho United States and Great
Britain other than those growing ont of
what is denominated practical depreda
tions by Confederate cruisers fitted out iu
English ports, will meet in this city next
Monday. Lawyers are considerably ex
orcised over what importance the con
struction to be given to President Lin
coln’s proclamation of blockade, issuod
April 19tb, 1861, will have iu this Board,
tho English construction of this
uroclamstion is sustained, than a large
sum paid into tho United States Treasu
ry «ill have to be refunded to the Eng
lish Government It is estimated that
the aggregate of British claims, under a
liberal construction of this proclamation,
will foot up thirty miilious of dollars;
while the Alabama claims, which are our
only offset, amount only to twelve mil
lions.
Thoso members of Congress, who huve
given this subject any atteutiou, think
that Mr. Beck’s resolution, passed on
the last day of the last session of Con
gress, will yet play a conspicuous part iu
connection with this treaty. It will bo
remembered that this resolution declares
that the House will not r insider itself
bound to make appropriations of money
to carry a treaty into effect where the
treaty itself is not submitted to the House
for approval.
It is thought by some of the officials
bore, who are in a position to form
reasonably founded opinion upon the
suhjeot, tLat Major Hodge, the default
ing paymaster, to make such reparation
ns ho now can, to those who are placed
in an undeserved situation of embarrass
ment and censure, through their unwav
ering confidence in liis integrity, will
utor tho plea of guilty, upon his ar
raignment before tha Court Martial
appointed for his trial, ami thus, by
forestalling tho necessity of tho intro
duction of nuy evidence in behalf of tho
Government, supplies the jmssible dis
closures of the extent to which tho con
fidence aud friendships enjoyed by him,
led to the disregard of law, regulations,
customs, and tho ordinary safeguards of
financial trusts and transactions.
In this oonnection the accompanying
extract from tho digest of tho opinions
of tho Judge Advocate General, the au
thoritative manual of Military Courts
will be read with interest:
“It is a general rule of law, that where
tho accused pleads guilty, no testimony
upon tlioTRerits of the cuxo is to bo in
troduced. But it is believed to be es
sential to a proper administration of jus
tice in tho minority of cases tried by
military courts, the prosocution should
offer evidouco of tho circumstances of
the offense, notwithstanding tho plea of
guilty hns been interposed. .Such testi
mony is also nnrossary to enable tho re
viewing officer to pass intelligently aud
justly upon tho whole case. These views
are in accordance with the practice of
the Kogtish Military Courts.”
Tbe Kadical portion of tbe Ku-Klux
Committee nrc iu caucus to-night on the
question of sending a sub committee to
Georgia, for tho pnrposo of finding out
how tho pcoplo stand on the question of
the next Presidential election. There
seems to ho no donbt but w hat a sub
committee will be sent to North Carolina,
Georgia and 'Arkansas—provided, the
committee con raise tho funds necessary
to pay traveling expenses.
CoL Wm. McMichacl, recently appoint

the 15th of October next, vacating tho
office of Solicitor of Internal Revenue, to
which Mr. Charles Choslcy has been ap
pointed und who will, on that date, as- 1

Michael is the son of Hon. Morton Mc-
Miohael, proprietor of tbo Philadelphia
North American. Since his appointment
as Solicitor of Internal Revenue, ho has

cured, by hia personal influence over

W YSII INGTON LETTER
Cii :t itt um| lUrlau now Check l»y Jowl;
but what ilnilau Said of Grant In
Y« ROM# hy.
Washington, D. C., Sept. 23, 1871.
Tbero is nothing truer than the old
saying tiiut “Time produces inuuy
change:!,” or that "Politics make strange
bedfellows. ” The greatest and most per
fect illustrations of the above sayings
who belong to tho present ego, arc Sena
tor Harlan, of Iowa, and Columbus De
lano, of tho Georgia State Bead Lease
Company, sometimaa called “Secretary
of the Interior." Senator Harlan is to
day, perhaps, tho most obsequious of tho
hInfant friends of that great American
traveler, “Useless 8. Grant” Harlan
Believes Grant to be not only the hope
of the Republican party, hut tho only
man who can, with tho assistance of the
tax payers, pay off the public debt, and
savo tho country from fitter lain. Har-
lau is devoted to Grant iu every way,
aud to Grant’s Ban Domingo scheme in
particular; though no ono lias over ac
cused Horton of owning nuy ourucr lots
or wharf privileges at Humana, or else
where within tho territory blessed hy the
administration of . Proud ' "
dent Bauz (au
otlier intimate and very particular friend
of “Useless S. G.”) Grout
ly devoted to Harlsa; so u
lie is uaiDg all hia infiuonco to have him
(H) re-elected to tho Benato from Iowa.
Grant has ovou goue so fur us tempt
James F. Wilson to withdraw from the
canvass by tlio offer of a Foreign ap
pointment; but Wilson couldn’t sec it,
and consequently there is great tronble
and tribulation in tbe Harlan-Grunt
family.
TheBev. Dr. Newman—tho spiritual
adviaer of Grant—lias [been called upon
to assist iu soothing the troubled politi
cal waters of Iowa. The Doctor has ad
dressed letters to several prominent
Methodist ministers iu Iowa, urging
them to throw the might of their influ
ence in lot >r ut Harlan; in fuet every
thing that money and infiuonco can do is
bring dune iu favor of Harlan, simply
because he is a friend that Grant can use
in any manner ho secs fit. But there w is
a time when no such devotion e .lstrl
between these two worthies, and the
memory of that unhappy time renders
Harlan, at least, [very unhappy—while
Grant grows furious ut tho halo mention
of it Consequently every effort is mode
to avoid any allusion to old times.
But, tho Congressional Globe—the great
judgment book of Senators and members
of Congress—bears the record; and just
now is considered a proper time for re
producing some of those old romances.
I havo embarked iu tic business, and, as
I have selected Harlan and Delano os my
heroes, I shall pay my respects to them
only.
lu the United States Senate, Friday,
May 9, 1862, tho following resolution was
called np, and occasioned a lengthy de
bate;
regiment At Fort Donelson, the right
wing of an army which was under nis
immediate command, was defeated aud
driven back several mil«i from the ene-
mio’a works. Now, sir, with sneh a
record, those who continue Gen. Grant
iu mtive commuud, will, in my opinion,
curry ou their skirts tho blood of thou-
sim-ls of their slaughtered countrymen.
With my convictions, 1 cun neither do
it myself, uor silently permit it to bo
done by others."
Unfortunately, so much of tho space
of this letter has been devoted to Mr.
llorlau’s opinion of General Urant, that
I am compelled to defer prominent a
lion of tho Uou. Columbus Delano,
another letter.
Iu pardoning Bowen, Grant Beems on
ly to havo made eonfusiou worse oon-
foundod in Booth Carolina politics.—
While he has made a friend of Bowen,
he haa converted Do Largo into an un
compromising enemy. Influential Re-
pnbfienrs from South Carolina say that
Bowen has no political standing whatever
down there, either among whites or
blacks, and that tho liberated bigamist
stands no elutneo whatever of getting the
gubernatorial nomination. Tbe Federal
offices have been so distributed througu-
nattbe State that they have weakened tho

oat tue ottUtt that they nave weakened tut
ltopublicuu parly ana created diasati-sfac
fcion, especially among tlio blacks. The
latter aro so incensed against Grant that
it is asserted the colored portion of the
South Carolina delegation will unani
mously oppose hia re-nomination, even
though no other opposition shorM de
velop itself.
This is alxmt the some state of affairs
that is said to exist in Alabama. The
Executive is constantly in reaeipt of let-
Scnfttor Sherman opened tlio debate
with a thirteen column eulogy on the ex
ploits of Ohio soldiers, and especially
upon tho conduct of General Grant,
whom he credits with having saved the
army, and hy his superb generalship con
tributed to the defeat of the Confeder
ates. Senator Harlan followed. The
followiug are extracts of the most promi
nent points in his speech:
“But that part of his speech (refer
ring to Sherman) which may have* been
intended to bolster up tho reputation of
General Grant, I think, mny have nn in
jurious effect in tho future, and hence 1
rise to repudiate every word lie has said
that may have that tendency. From all
that, I can learn on the subject, I do not
think that General Grant is fit to com
mandagreat army in the field. Iowa
had eleven regiments in tho field at the
battle of Pittsburg Landing. He can
never make ono of thoso men believe
that General Grant is fit to command.—
I will read one or two short extracts from
a letter written by a gentleman of my
State. He says f
“ ‘There is no use iu trying to disguise or
cover up tho fact that our army was bad
ly surprised on Sunday morning. Up to
the time that General Grant assumed
command at PitUburg Landing, General
Sherman was in command and kept his
pickets of infautry aud cavalry out in
front of liis lines for three or four miles;
but after Grant arrived, this was ontircly
neglected, and notwitlistanding scouts,
deserters from tho enemy and citizens re
ported to Gen. Grant that the inuin body
of tho enemy were approaching our
lines, he indignantly scorned the idea of
an attack, saying Generals Johnston and
Beauregard were not d —d fools enough
to attack us here. On Saturday night,
l>eforo the battle, the Confederate army
was moved up so close to our front lines
that, as a Confederate prisoner informed
me, they could hear the soldiers talking
in their camps. At day-light tho enemy
commenced the attack. They rushed in
to some of our camps before our soldiers
had time to fall iuto line of battle, and
while many of out officers were asleep.
M *Ttre trrimimd carelessness, or t*omo-
thing worse, on the part of General Grant,
whereby so many brave soldiers were
slaughtered, admits of no poUiation or
Newsuai>er correspondents may
they please, but fno United voice
of evciy soldier iu Grant’s army con
demns him t and jt is now time that the
• s
ifng sftM: “From all
that I can learn from tlio troops from
Iowa, who participated in this battle,
both officers and nfen, this is but an ex
pression of a conviction made ou the
minds of all 6f them. lo** troops
have boeu in buttle repeatedly under
ammand of Gusepd Grant. They l|ava
no confidence in bis capacity and fitness
for the high position ho now holds.—
They regard him as the author of the
useless slaughter of many hrudrods of
their bravo comrades in arms. It in of
ten os dangerous and us wicked to praise
the unworthy and ineompetont as to de
tract from tho meritorious. If my con
victions are correct, it would be a crime
for me to remain silent and suffer influ
ences to originate iu the Senate Chamber
which may result in restoring a General
to an active command whom I, and the
people I in part represent, deem un
worthy of such a trust.”
After some general remarks regarding
the conduct of Iowa troops, Mr. Harlan
ugain goes for Grant as follows: ’
;,“liut, sir, they believe, and 1 believe,
that a large per cent, of this loss wss
useless, and is justly attributable to the
carelessniias or inability of Gen. Grant.
And he shell not, with mv consent, be
continued in oonunand. There it noth
ing in his antecedents vo justify a fur

, haa satisfied them of the error of their Judg
ment
No exhibition on tbe road haa ever given greater
satisfaction, and none have achieved aa great a de
gree of popularity. Neither labor nor money has
been spared to make U the most expensive and
oboice exhibition in the world, and the almost dally
tremendous audiences applauding the feats of Urn
different artists have served to stimulate the man*

Cape Uretoa and New Fouudland, there haa been
but ono voice from the press and public aa to the
intrinsio merits of this mammoth enterprise.
Messrs. Wootten k Haight fael an excusable pride
In thus referring to repeated triumphs sod praise
of the world which has but one verdict aa to the
high character And superiority at this first-dam
Arenic and Zoological combination.
