The British Reply to Ptah's Note-Our Attitude. * WASTNOTON, April 2. Ear! Granville's letter to Secretary Pish waa read at the Cabinet meeting to-day. It ls very long, and consists of both manuscript and printed matter. The letter is argumentative against the position ol the United States on the aupfect of the Alabama claims, but expresses the hope that the two countries may eventually settle their differences according to the spirit of the Treaty ot Washington. The tone is firm but friendly. Some days will elapse before Secretary Fish will reply to this more than usually long diplomatic letter. Our govern? ment adheres to its proposition to submit the ?mire matter of claims, direct and Indirect, to the Geneva arbitrators, and 19 willing to abide their decision. HO, FOR CINCINNATI! South Carolina Not Pledged to Grant. [From the New York: Sun.] The Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune asserts thai tbe South Carolina delegation to the Philadelphia Convention ls not Instructed to vote for Grant. He says that a colored member ot the delegation has .expressed great dl&sattsfacllon at the course of the President in retaining in office in that State persons who have interfered in State and local politics in such a barefaced manner that their removal has been asked for by tbe almost unanimous voice ot the Republican party, aa expressed through committees and -conventions. General Grant has given no at? tention to the repeated requests for the remo? val of these officers. The Republicans of South Carolina wbo are opposed to Federal Interference in local affairs need not hope to deieat the renomination of Grant by the Philadelphia Convention. If they wish to see tbe reign of robbery and cor? ruption in National and State governments brought to an end, let them send to the Cin? cinnati Convention a body of delegates fairly representing the honest Republicans of their -Commonwealth. AN IRISH VOICE FOR WAR. O'Donovan Ross? Wants to Plght. In the Irishman is a letter from O'Donovan fossa, in which the following passage occurs: In case he (Mr. Gladstone) goes to war with Grant he goes to war in earnest. It is not an invasion of Ireland the earnest Irishmen would meditate, but an invasion of England. Yee. there Is no place to s tri se England lairly but In England. I recognize that myself; and if I got a chance I would be tempted Co go there, while It may be with reluctance I would Join an expedition to Ireland. Granted that we may be swallowed up in no time, it would be a satisfaction to see with my own ruin the ruin of all the big cities of England. People will Bay bow wicked I am. Ye3, I am wicked. English prison treatment bas made me so, and tbe English governing people may know thal there are Irishmen at this aide of the Atlantic to-day who believe there IB no way to fight England but by fighting her with her own ?weapons. When I Fay that in case ol a war with America there are thousands of men here that would be found in tbe heart of England with the Intention of acting ID a manner that would oblige the government to keep their soldiers at home. Yes, tbese men would burn down and blow np in case Gladstone was sending bia troops to Ireland, and I would ad? vise it, and saying this I am discharging my best duties as an American citizen, for 1 am ?doing what will go furthest to make the British Government do all we want them to do. t 1 DEATH OF PROFESSOR MORSE. NEW YORK, April 2. Professor Morse slept quietly through most of the night, but died this mornlDg. The Father of the Telegraph. Professor Samuel Finley Breese Morse, whose peaceful death after a long and hon* ored life is recorded In the few brief words above, flashed in an instant from bis bedside to the remotest parts of a sympathizing world by the agency of his own immortal invention, was born in Charlestown, Mass., April 27, 1791, and consequently lacked but a few days of being eighty-one years old. In his early manhood he was an artist of repute, and in 1813 his colossal picture of "The Dying Her? cules," and his plaster model of the same subject, received the prize in the Royal Academy of England. Fifty years ago he practiced his profession in our own city, and he removed hence to New York City In 1822, where, among other works of art, he executed a full length portrait of General Lafayette, then on a visit To this country. It was In 1832, while return? ing from a visit to Europe, that he conceived the Idea of conveying verbal messages from distant poiats by means ot an electric cur? rent, and, by laborious study and careful and prolonged experiment, he finally Invented the present system of the electric telegraph which has wrought such wonderful results in the his? tory of the world. In 1840, Professor Morse perfected his patent at Washington, and in 1814 the first line of telegraph In the United States (between Baltimore and Washington) was completed. He lived to see a more ample fulfilment of his immortal conception than be could possibly have realized, and he died full of years and of honor. His has been the lot, rare among Inventors, of witnessing the full triumph of his genius, and of receiv? ing the hearty plaudits and the sub' stantlal rewards of a grateful world. On his eightieth birthday, April 27, 1871, a beautiful bronze statue of Professor Morse, by Mr. Byron M. Pickett, was unveiled in Central Park, New York, In the presence of | the representatives of the telegraphic fraterni? ty of New York, by whom lt was presented to the city, and of a large concourse of people, who will not readily forget the Imposing cere? monies of the occasion and the venerable ap? pearance of the honored Inventor. His last, public appearance in New York was at the unveiling of D?Groat's statue of Franklin, In Printlog House Square, to which he was at? tracted to pay his tribute to the memory ot the philosopher who first caught from the clouds the lightning flash which he himself bad chained to the charlot wheels of commerce and Intelligence.

TINKERING THE TARIFF. The House Stande Upon Ita Rights and Charge* the Senate trlth Violating the Constitution. WASHINGTON, April 2. In the House of Representatives to day, Mr. Dawes, from the committee of ways and meaoB, offered a resolution declaring, in | j effect, that the substitution by the Senate, under the form ot an amendment of the Sen? ate bil), entitled an act to reduce internal I ' taxes. Ac, is contrary to the provisions ot the j ; constitution, and ls In conflict with the true intent and purposes of that clause of the con etltutlon which requires that all bills relating to the revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives, and that said substitute for the House bill do lie on the table, and that the clerk Inform the Senate of the action of the House, together with the rea BOOB therefor. Dawes said a conflict of this , nature should always be avoided if pos- i albie, and should never be made upon < trifling matters. He bad not offered the reso- < lutlon Just read without due regard to the sub- < Ject matter and a desire, lt possible, to avoid the difficulties suggested by it. He had not offered this resolution as his own, but with the advice and direction of the committee'of ways and means. He proceeded to address , the House, urging the importance of the IJ question, and claiming that the Senate, In | sending back practically a new bill with even the title changed, had Infringed the clause ot the constitution. Messrs. Cox, of New York, Garfield, of Ohio, Butler, of Massachusetts, and Maynard, of Tennessee, supported the resolution. The resolution was adopted-one hundred and fllty-three to nine.

Ia the Senate Mr. Robertson submitted a letter addressed to himself and Mr. Sawyer, from Generals Wade Hampton, Kershaw and M. C. Butler, ot South Carolina, denying that they were connected with the Ku-Klux organ? ization, or ever bad been. Senator Blair re? marked that the senator from Vermont, Mr. Edmunds, bad, In the same debate, and at the same time that these gentlemen were re? ferred to, charged that the counsel employed to defend the prisoners lu South Carolina, the Hon. Reverdy Johnson and the Hon. Henry Stanbery, had become digusted with the crimes which were proved against their clients, and had abandoned the case. He then Bent to the deBk to be read a letter of date February 19th, 1872, addressed by Mr. John Bon to General Wade Hampton. In the letter, Mr. Johnson refers to the statement of Mr. Edmunde, which he says Is utterly Incorrect and unfounded. So far irom having abandon? ed the case, he says that Mr. Stanbery and himself remained at Columbia until their mis? sion was consummated. He also says that there was neither the slightest testimony nor suspicion to connect the three-gentlemen to whom allusion was made aa having any con? cern with the Ku-Klux movement, and he is satisfied that Mr. Edmunds, whom he knows would not consciously do an injustice, bad been egregiously wronged. Edmunds said that common report had said that MessrB. Johnson aDd Stanbery had abandoned the case, and he believed lt then, and, with all due deference, be believed lt now. Concerning his statements as to the three persons alluded to, he had been- credibly Informed that evi? dence to criminate them was in the posses? sion of the officers of the government and would be produced at the proper time. Sen? ator Blair said he was flallstied that there was no each evidence, and that these gentlemen had come to Washington demandiog to be confronted with the charges. Edmunds said that he only repeated what he had been inform? ed, and that ll the gentlemen could -prove their innocence he would be very glad of lt. A RUSH OF COTTON. LIVERPOOL, April 2.

THE GIRL OF THE PERIOD AT THE PIANO.- I Che Poet of the Breakfast Table gives this vivid iesclption of tbe manner in which a girl ot the period makes ready to play and plays her -rand piano: "It was a young woman, with as nany wblte muslin flounces round ber as the ilanet Saturn bas rings, that did it. She gave .he music-stool a twin or two, and fluffed down )0 to lt like a whirl of soap suds In a hand-basin, rhea she pushed up her c ufi's as if she was go? ng to fight for the champion's belt. Then she ?vorked ber wrist and hands, to limber'em, I suppose, and spread out her fingers till they ooked as though they would pretty much cov ?r the key board, from the growling end to the ', ittle squeaky one. Then those two bands of ! ier's made a Jump at the keys as if they were i couple of tigers coming down on a flock of )lack and white sheep, and the plano gave a -real howkas if Its tail had been trod on. Dead ' nop-so still you could hear your hair growing, rhen another Jump, and another howl, as lt tbe j llano bad two tails and you had trod on both ot em at once, and a clatter and scramble and < itrlDgs ot Jumps, up and down, back and for- 1 yard, one band over the other, like a stam? pede of rats and mice more than like anything 1 t call music." THE LESSON OF LIFE.-A worthy Scotch cou- I pie, when asked how their son had broken ' iown BO early In life, gave the following ex? planation : "When we began life together we worked hard and lived upon porridge and mch like, gradually adding to our comforts as )ur mema Improved, until we were able to line ofTa blt of roast meat, and sometimes a joilt chickie, (chicken;) but Jack, ourson, he worked backward, and began with the chickie Irst." THE progress of population and settlement s so rapid that a ''good old house," which loes not advertise, ls in danger of losing much lound custom. 8ome people think lt smacks )f dignity to say that they can liva without idvertislng. They may iiueupon this kind of lignlty, but live is one tbinsr, aod success in ife ls another. A good reputation in business neans tbat you shall be widely as well as fa? vorably known.- A good advertisement ls von h a good price. A bad advertisement is worth nothing.
