The New To,- Herald on the 12th, has the following interview with President Grant at Washington : Upon being asked what liis solution was of the present situation, he said : "Everything non de ponds upon a lair count." 'J lie charges of curr.ipiion and fraud, made against the Republicans by 1 .- , , . , , : ties, and even lie parties to them to the i 1 But when fairness in elections, . accord iug to tlie l.iwf nl plan is insisted upon, jjreat complaint is made and there is a charge of unfairness. lie-went on to say that in order to be satisfied, as well as to have a similar conviction carried to the minds of the American people, that there would lie a fair Count of the vote lor electors in Louisiana, he had made up his mind some days since to invite to xo to Louisiana public men of responsible character and respectability whose opinions and judgment would cany conviction to tho whole American people. Incidentally he remarked that t l,o co.i.t; ... r, ft... ,"..- ...l. ina and tho ."Southern States had prc- ! dnced a good eii'eet-ond had maintained Iif airo- - When the present trouble and condition o the public mind was reJer- ,-Cl t () jlC f said he did not anticipate anv i ... j troub'e if proper precatitions were taken timo- Ail that a nipt tire of the in I"--ncc liee.ien ior us prevention was firmnos, j'romptness, and decision, as well as having force enough at com mand to nip it in the bud. Here the President for a moment reviewed an important opm in our national history, in the case oflJuebanan in 1SC1.

At one time, had be acted with decision, he might have itopped the w-i,o:; thn.o; with a brijiade i of troops, but he waited" until the mag- l:ii:i'.:e co had got past j i his control. 'Do yon anticipate trouble in the South, Mr. President?" I asked. "Oli lie," he replied with a smile, "I have made it a rule throughout never to anticipate trouble. 1 never look fur it until it comes ; but I believe in being prepared fur it and having the means at command to cheek it." It is evident thechivalry of the South have a different matt from eld lluchan t an to deal with now. :ia xvFAcrrnrxc dkmochaiuc MAJORITIES. A dispatch of the lith says : It has b. en an atixi'.us day in Washington. Mcmliers of the Cahinct have been in session or individual conference during much of the day. They had dispatches from leading civil and military officers in the three close Southern States. An important item of news is that in South Carolina, count'es along the Georgia border and in what is called the up-hill country there have been several des perate attempts to seize the ballot-boxes aiid destroy them. There is informa tion that several ballot-boxes have been broken up in Florida, and that couriers have been interfered with, but it is thought a grc?X majority of returns are in safe hands and carefully guarded. There are intimations ot a purpose to use money with the canvassing board in the interest of the Pemoorats both in Florida and Louisiana. Another telegram to the New York Times, of the same date from Peters burg, Va., enyp, 7,700 Republican votes were thrown out in the -'Fourth- Con gressional fjistr jet. This was done iu open and gross violation, of State law by e'ection officers appointed by Demo cratic judges.. . L'uusual care was taken to draw their attention to Fpecial law providing for such cases but in defiance of it, particularly in Nokawa. Advices have been received of for midable efforts in weral quarters to prevent returns reaching central stations and in South Carolina' of a , movement to take possession and prevent the count in case the Republicans do succeed in getting the returns all in. " Several irapoitaut orders have been issued by the President, all look ing to the ; protection of ballot-boxes and those having them in 'charge, until a full and fair count -shall "have been completed. These orders are as explicit as it is possible to makp them, to the cud. that a fair count of all legal votes may ba had without regard to", party result. Sherman will at once proceed to tl;c South and make Ids headquarters at Kew Orleans. The iufurmation from Florida is that enough of the re turns are safe in the hands of the prop er counting officers to place the result in that State beyond all contingencies of interference of Ku KInx. In South Carolina, certain returns which White Liners had planned to capture were saved by strategy, and are now in the hands of the returning board ol can vassers. There U a suspicions delay in some ef the retu i ns from some or the remote Republican districts." Promi nent Democrats in South Carolina arc conceeding that tha electoral vote is for J Hayes. The main object of the iulen- tion to tamper with the returns is evi dently to secure the election &l Hamp ton. .i i I.afyette boa-sls of its pretty girls. The smal'pox has disapjeared from Eugene.

Down comes the elevations, ten, twenty, or thirty inches, and bull' eyes ar& made,. If the wind is varying, each shot must be fired from the lesson ot the last and the changes in the mean time.
