Thö Washington Capital philosophirally cjipluins tho friencUhip which exists between tho President and .Senator Chandler. It seems that when Grant, tlicn Capt. Orant, was btationed at Detroit, ho une day glipped and fs.ll upon tilo snow-covered sidewalk in front of Chandler's Fésidence. The indignant Captain, who went down in a sitting pcsition with the solid suddonness of a pile driver, and siw stars, and heard peáis of merry 'aughter got up again, ai.d wui ding his hnipiiif wiiy to the nearest inagistrate, enterud coinplaint Bgain9t oíd Yardstick. said Chandler, for failing to kcep his nidewalk cloar of snow and ice, in aooordonce with tho ordinanoe in such caso íuadH and providtd. Now Ul:andler appeareJ s his own atto:íiey and mado deiouso. He stated that the paptni.'s f.ill was not caused by the aci umul ited snow and ice, but by the noble capta n being very drunk. Thia so enraged the ofiioi-r that when the coiuplaint was dismissod he assaulted the eloquent Zuck with a horse whip, aad beforo the admirii!r orowd could interfere, idimii-slui-ed :i : ; i : y castigation upen ! .. ''V-quent defauier. This, accordint; to tho Capital, accounts for the honorable Zack's admiíatioá for and love oí the President. ■ ít is astouishing," s:iid Colonel Lum:is, "howwi man atter we havo fought him." Only o!d Zaek did not fight.
