This blunt declaration only addjd another mv/spaper writer to Grant's many rnrmfan No one could ever accuse Grant of dissimulation. He was one of the few public men of Washington who never hesitated in expressing his opinions and never pretended a friendship that ho did not /eel. If he had been more diplomatic he might perhaps have been more popular. His cabinet associates nearly all of thorn hated the newspapers, and treated their representatives as so many enemies. There was a military spirit throughout the entire administration. The military spirit is opposed to give any information to the public. Reasons wore rover given for any publio action unless there was extraordinary pressure if public sentiment. The information that tvas forced out from time to time about the management of the departments was secured only through the aid of congress. Where a correspondent was unable to procure information from a department be would go to a friendly member of congress and get him to introduce a resolution of inquiry. There has been no administration since the close of the war which has steadily maintained such a position of resistance and opposition to the representatives of the newspapers stationed here as Grant's.

Grant's health has created great sympathy for him in Washington, whore ho has, perhaps, m«ce personal friends than in any other city in the country. There can be no doubt about the cause of the cancerous tf ouble in hi; mouth. Gen. Grant has for a number of years smoked more and stronger cigars than any man of the most robust health could endure. When he was in the White House he smoked from 15 to 20 cigars a day. They were not small cigars, either. They were of the old Reina Victoria size, and were the blackest of Madnras in color. Very few experienced smokers had strong enough heads to smoke Grant's cigars. More than one caller at the White House has boon mado sick by attempting to smoke with President Grant. Judge Kelley, of Pennsylvania, who had a similar cancerous trouble in his mouth two years ago, has been cured, although he was given up by his Philadelphia physicians when he went to ■Europe for the last operation. The cancer -in the judge's mouth was caused by the excessive use of tobacco. He was not a smoker, but he chewed tobacco constantly. Vp to the time that the cancer appeared he was hardly ever without tobacco in his mouth. He went to sleep with a twist in his cheek, and it was upon the spot on the tongue touched by the tobacco that the cancer developed. There was this difference between his case and that of Gen. Grant's, his was upon the tongue itself, where it could bo gotten at by the surgeons; the cancer in Gen. Grant's mouth la said to be at the roots of the tongue, and in a place where it cannot be successfully treated Ho Afterwards Reviews an Immense Parade.

Washington, March 4.—The president has ordered a genqrnl court martial to convene in this city on the 11th lust, for the trial of Brig. Gen. Hazen, chief signal officer of the army, on charges of conduct prejudicial to good oMer aud military discipline, in having officially and publicly criticised the action of the secretary of war for not following his roeoTimendatlon to send an expedition to the relief of Lieut. Greely in September, 1883. The following is the detail for the court: Maj. Gen. W, 8. Hancock, Maj. Gen. J. M. Schofield, Brig. Gen. O. O. Howard, Brig. Gen. A. H. Terry, Brig. Gen. C. C. Augur, R.

The last cabinet meeting of President Arthur was held yesterday, and the diplomatic corps called to take formal leave of him. No business of consequence was transacted at the cabinet meeting, and at its close the president -hook hands warmly with the members of his official family, and expressed his thanks individually to oach one for the rigor and fidelity with which he had been perved. The diplomatic corps then called to pay thoir respects, headed by Mr. Carter, Hawaiian minister, who acts as dean of tlie corps in the absence of Mr. Preston, Haytian minister. Secretary Frolinghuysen stood at the president's right, and tlia members of the legations were acoomjMiu'ed by the ladies of their families, who 4'peared in handsome street dresses. This is identical Mrith the case of Senator 3en Hill. He chewed tobacco immoderately, and while he was seemingly in the prime of health a cancer appeared at the roots of his tongue. He went through the martyrdom of a number of surgical operations, but the result was nothing but a life of pain and endleas struggling. The closing days of Ben Hill's life were very pathetic. He slowly starved to death. From the indications in the reports from New York it appears probable that Gen. Grant is about to undergo the terrible fate which overtook Senator Ben Hill. During the very last days of Hill's life he was able to eat only a small saucer of the thinnest oatmeal. To eat even this small quantity took him fully an hour. Every mouthful caused him the most violent pain. Hill showed great fortitude throughout the closing hours of his life. Although he never had a single moment that was free from pain, his courage was never shaken. He never mado a complaint. Pittsburg Miners on the Verge of Another THE PRESIDENT. Consistent with these preparations for the pleasure of the 10,000 persons who will enjoy the privilege of viewing sufch a pagfeant are the conveniences for their comfort in dressing rooms, supper rooms, and the dozens of other details which go under this head. The diplomatic corps, who en.loy the singular pleasure of coming to the ball on complimentary tickets, it being an old established courtesy to invite the foreign representatives to witness all the simple ceremonies by which Americans celebrate the transfer of their executive powers from one man's hands o another's, have very comfortable resting and robin* rooms adjoining the suite reserved for Mr. Cleveland and his party. Strike. Pittsburg, March 4.—At the joint convention of the miners of the railroad and river districts held in this city, resolutions denouncing the recent award of the Empire works as unjust were passed unanimously. A resolution was adopted Ijjr the railroad miners demanding a return to thq three cent rate on or before March 9. The river miners did not vote on the resolution, but decided to call a convention of river miners at Monongahela City on Saturday next tc discuss the question. Unless the demands ar acceded to Another strike will likely be the result. Resolutions were also agreed to asking the legislature to pass'bills establishing a hospital in the bituminous coal regions, and to compel bimonthly payment of wages and prohibiting company stores. "Washington,March 4. —Grover Cleveland, twenty-fifth president of the United States, has been inaugurate..!. The few simple words which the constitution proscribes the chief magistrate shall repeat have been said, and now the control of the government has passed 'jut of the hands of a Republican into those of a Democrat. Carton's Patent Gas-tight Hot Air Furnace. It is understood that the action of the president in this case was precipitated by an interview with Gen. Hazen, published in .a newspaper of this city, in which Gen. Hazen is represented as placing on the secretary of war the responsibility for the loss of so many members pf the Greely party. President Arthur's luncheon to Mr. Cleveland was the final hospitality of the outgoing president. There is usnally neithei time nor inclination for a formal dinner at the vVIiite House on the 4th of March. President Arthur will go directly from the ball to Mr. Krelingliuyscn's house and will remain there for a week. During that time he and the Frdinghuysens will be invited to dine at the White House formally. At the end of a week or two Mr. Arthur will make up a party and At noon the president and president-elect and suite arrived at the capital According to the programme laid down the escort from ch i Arlington to the capitol was composed inclusively of military, and the sight of tho jay uniforms, gold lace, gleaming swords and Jaucing plumes was a brilliant one. (ton. Holler Arrive* at Kortl. When Gen. Grant was here last spring being treated for injuries received from a fall upon the sidewalk Airing the winter-previous he received a great deal of attention. His rapid recovery from his injuries under the treatment here made him very contented. Those who saw him then say that Grant was never happier in his life than during that last visit. He believed he had a great fortune. He had a largo parlor, with three or four rooms attached, at the'Arlington hotel He sat enthroned during the day in a great leathern chair, with Mrs. Grant near him busfly engaged In receiving visitors, who comprised the most distinguished and prominent people of tb» day. He never had more prominent callers when he was president. People of both parties vied In paying him honor. Had it not been for the disastrous failure in which be was involved he would have been a verylmportant figure in the campaign. The Republicans believe that if Grant had not been crippled by this flnnnfdAl disaster lie would have had more than enough influence to have carried the balance in the state of New York for Mr. Bktine. To suddenly lose all this attention and respect, to have it replaced by a feeling of commiseration and pity, has done more than anything else to break down Gen. Grant's health. The lowering of his system through this depression and disappointment facilitated the earlier development of the cancerous poison in his blood. Geo. Grant has been treated very fairly by the newspapers of the country during all this trouble. His relations with newspaper writers has been upon a different basis since he left the White House. When he was in the White House there were only two of the Washington correspondents who were permitted access to him. The others were his sworn enemies. It is possible that those who were immediately about Grant were partly responsible for this. Gen. Babcock, his private secretary, had a great aversion to newspaper correspondents, and resented their coming to the White House at all. No newspaper correspondents were ever invited to the receptions at the White House given by Gen. Grant. On New Year's day, vfhen official Washington called upon the president, the correspondents who went to the White House to write an account of the incidents of the reception were never permitted to go beyond the anteroom where the liveried servants of the legation people stood holding the wraps of their masters. As a natural consequqpee, none of the correspondents would go to the White House. During the last four years of Grant's administration he was attacked with untiring hostility by the men who had met with such unkind treatment from his hands, or at least from those about him. Korti, March 4.—Gen. Buller has arrived. Most of his force is yet at Galcdul wells. The detachment with Buller suffered terribly, They had to walk long distances through the sand owing to the insufficient number of camels available.

Cauipuzzi, who is assisting in getting up the Inauguration ball supper, one of his handsome table ornaments to add to the attractiveness of the display. It is a gilt apergne—the design of a group of eagles with outstretched wings holding up an oval plateau on which is to rest a wonderful fancy structure and the pieoe de resistance of the feast ■Galantine of capon a la Murray hill. Indeed, one of the best sights in all the preparations going on about the ballroom is to watch the movements of the French cooks, dexterously putting together the elaborate set pieces which are to be the center of attraction on each of the supper tables. A small menagerie of stearin* animals, bevies of tallow beauties and choirs of white angels will be usqfi in those designs, and no traces of the ignoble materials will be left, shimmering as they do with diamond and silver dust. But gorgeous as was the sight of the military, a more interesting one to the thousands af tpoctutors was the carriage containing I'resident Arthur, Presidect-eloct Cleveland, Senators Sherman and Ransom. In the carriage immediately behind sat Vice-Preeidontslect Ilendricks, Vice-President pro tem. Edmunds and two members of the executive -ommittee of the inauguration ceremonies, rhen came the members of the National Democratic committee and the 16 membors of the inauguration executive committee.

W., March 8.—Yesterday was observed as a general holiday, on account of the departure of tho volunteers foi the Soudan. The governor, in addressing the troops and the crowds who had assembled to witness their embarkation,, dwelt upon the fact that for the first time In the history of England a distant colony was sending troops to aid in maintaining the empire. He was proud that this honor and confidence had been shown to New South Wales, and he also regarded it as a proof, to the world of the devotion of British oolonists to the mother country. The fund raised by voluntary contributions to pay the expenses of transporting the volunteers to Buakim now reaches (22,500.

All the society people will attend the ball, and many elegant costumes will be seen. The ladies of Mr. Cleveland's party will be Miss Cleveland and Mi's. Bacon, Mr. Cleveland's second sister; bis cousin, another Miss Cleveland, from Ohio; Mrs. Hendricks, Mrs. Lamont and Mrs. Daniel Manning, and possibly Miss Van Vetchen, of Albany. The ladies of the cabinet will be few. Senator Bayard's wife is a great sufferer from neuralgia, and never on any account goes to balls. His daughters, however, Miss Bayard and Miss Nannie Bayard, will be with their father. Both Senators Garland and Lamar ore ifidowers—Mr. Lamar so recently a widower that he will probably not go to the ball at all. Mrs. Vilas is hero, the guest of Mr. L. Z.

Whitney Is tolerably well known here, but it is not even known whether Judge Endicott has a wife or not. Miss Van Vechten, of Albany, is a handsome' brunette, and lias most graceful and dignified manners. Mrs. Manning and Mrs. Lai flout are wellmannered, pleasing women, without anything distinctive about them. Mr. Cleveland is said to be on more intimate terms with Mrs. Lainont than any other lady of his acquaintance. Miss Cleveland will bo the lady of the AVTiite House.

There was tho scarlet and gold of Great Britain, the white of Austria, the blue of Germany, the double eagle of Russia, the rich, flowing robes of China's plenipotentiaries, while court suits, naval uniforms and jeweled orders abounded. Many of the diplomats were accompanied by their wives and daughters, who were handsomely dressed. In tho other galleries woio many naval and military officers, all of whom were in full dress.

The doctor and the baby were taken to the Oliver street police station, where the doctor was held on suspicion, while the coroner viewed the remains. Mo Kenzie was almost too drunk to talk, but exp'.a'ned that he had several students in Fairmount, where he was going to exhibit tho dead child to them. He refused to say where he obtained tho body.
