IN A QUANDARY.
Our Copperhead cotemporaries are in a
Sad quandary just now, as to who shall be
selected as their standard bearer in the
coming Presidential campaign. As the 4th
of July, the day fixed for their national
convention, approaches the comparative
strength of the various aspirants is calcu
lated with increasing anxiety. Each suc
cessive day the agonizing suspense of the
unterrified increases. Johnson, Pendleton,
Seymour, Hancock and Chase have each
had their ardent advocates, and against
each serious objections have been raised.
The latest developments in this family
quarrel indicate that Johnson, Seymour and
Hancock are likely to be shelved, and that the
final contest will be between Chase and Pen
dleton. Pendleton's entire strength seems
to depend upon the popularity of his pet
scheme of repudiation. Chase is urged as
the more eligible candidate by the liberal
leaders of the party, because it is believed
that he will gain some strength from the
FeputliiuD rmajte? naJ e&at ?.uoixifljailOD
will be a direct movement in the direction
of negro suffrage the great bug bear of
copperhcadism. We congratulate our Cop
perhead friends on their prospect of a
negro suffrage candidate. This is a pro
gressive age and though a little slow they
are evidently coming along. The question
to be decided by them now is whether
they will take Chase and negro Suffrage
or Pendleton and Repudiation. The one
will be a forward the other a backward
movement We confidently expect to beat
them by the most overwhelming majority
that has ever graced a presidential victory,
whether they choose the one or the other,
but we still like to sec them face the
music and squarely meet this question
which has so long been a sore trial to
democratic nerves. Now that even Brooks
has gone so far as to be proud of the
privilege of walking, arm in arm, with the
Mongolians of the Chinese Embassy, for
getting his late hcttr splitting speech, it
will be an easy matter for the lesser
lights of the party to glide quietly along,
in the same direction, until, in a very short
time we may expect to see them hob nob
bing with Gumbo and fawningly seeking
bis vote because of old associations. It
is not to be any longer denied that Cop
perhcadism is on the straight course to
negro suffrage, if there is anything in the
signs of the time*. It also turns out that
Mrs Elizabeth Cady Stanton is likely to
be a member of the New York Conven
tion. Truly time works wonders, and no
where more rapidly than in the ranks of
the Copperheads. From the latest devel
opments it does not seem at all improba
ble that their standard bc&rcr in sLc coin
ing campaign will be called to stand upon
a negro-suffrage-woman's-rights platform
of the most extreme type.
What think you, Copperheads, who
have long yelled for a white man's govern
mcnt for white men? You had better be
gin in time to tune your voioes for negro
suffrage and woman's rights or it will go
very awkward for a while after the 4th of
July Convention.
.TFIE democracy are working assiduously
to convince the Jews that Geo. Grant is
, no , j f nd of theirs, owing to an order pub
e j one of his subordinates forbidding
t lcm admusion to his camp, and which was
promptly revoked by the General when
submitted to him. We expect to hear
c weak strain of this Jew's-harp through
rnii 1 \ ent ' re cam P a 'f? n - They may as
oad Y played out.''
.[J"™* oQly two Prominent men in

t >amoc *"*tus Party (; pn ta v
ert L. Lee and George H.
latter is making a strenuous effort to u
nominated for the Presidency. We hop<
he may succeed; let us have a fair fight or
principles, not men. We want to ascertain
how the people have come to regard the
Democratic movement to destroy the Gov
ernment, at this distant day. Nominate
George H. Pendleton or Robert E. Lee, we
WILLIAM B. MASS, Esq., has succeeded
in accomplishing a regular Domination, oil
the Republican ticket of Philadelphia, for
District Attorney. We have regarded the
contest against this corrupt politician with
considerable interest, and we are astonished
to hear of his nomination. If ho ■will force
himself upon the party,, after having re
ceived its confidence, and the emoluments
of an office worth $.50,000 annually for a
dozen years, let him be defeated. The
verdict of the people will be "served him
right."
BONNER has the celebrated trotting horse,
Dexter, in training. Wo presTune that ho
will be ready for a "lieat : ' by tho 4th of July.
We call tho attention of the Democratic
politicians to tbi J fact. Tboy are sadly in
want of a candidate that can make a good
"run," and we do not know any thing on
legs that has ever beaten Dexter. Wouldn't
it be advisable to "trot him out."
GIB neighbor is very anxious to know
whether General Grant is going to resign.
We think uot. It is not customary. Gen.
MeClellan, who was once a Democratic can
didate, only resigned when be was under
the impression that he was elected. Gener
al Grant willcotftrol the Army until, by the
Constitution, he becomes the commander
of the armies and navies of the United
States.
J THE Patriot and Union, we icaru, is out
' for Hon. Asa Packer lor J'resident. How
!is this, friend Meyers? For llancoek up
here and for I'aoker in Harrisburg? Killing
two horses, eh? This won't do. Your
candidates are not so numerous that you
can indulge in so much of the luxury. Or, is
this only an evidence of an intended change
of base ?
CHASE has written a letter, which we
have not seen, explaining his course tip on

save seen it, is corrcet, it is the apology ot
mind for the weakness of juattcr. Tiro far

would be President. The latter predomi
nates.
YALLANDIOHAM goes for Chase. The
Democracy in this locality will follow their
leader without a grunt. They did this
during the war, why should they not do so
now? Good-bye, Hancock 1 Yailunuighatu
has settled the question. 1 pgo the hats ;
hurrah for Chase!
IT is said that the President will allow
the omnibus and Arkansas bills to become
laws without his signature. It is more
than likely that the absence of Stanberry
from "Washington, and the "blow up"
with Black lia3 left him without veto
thunder. "My Policy" lacks brains.
THE nc-gro Suffrage thunder of the
Democracy is about to be abandoned. The
Republicans have hemmed them in on all
sides, and at last, will CHASE them into one
of their worn-ouk positions. Truly, the
Democracy move slowly, and we may add,
reluctantly.
THE Democracy hereabouts speak of
Grant as a "butcher and go for Hancock, the
instrument with which the butchering, if
there was any such thing, was performed.
Can these augurers look each other in the
face without laughing ?
GRANT says "'give us peace," but the
Democracy cry, "horse! and CHASE!"
They may capture our old Suffrage out
post but they can only expect to -naff the
results of '' the battle afar off.
' THE Democratic Bond-holders of Pitts
burg, have quietly given the iW tho oohl
shoulder. So much for Greenbacks for
Bonds. Belmont is a power in the land as
the Pos' will find to its cost.
* TIJE Pittsburg Post heads an article thus;
"Wanted, a candidate —also a platform !"
Who can say there is not mora truth than
poetry in this Democratic concession of the
"eternal fitness of things."

States Senators.
THE Lancaster Examiner has the authority
of the Hon. ThadJeus "Stevens for stating that

THE Toronto Globe of last week professes
to have information, on authority beyond
doubt, that another Fenian movement upon
Canada has actually commenced, the raiders
moving from Buffalo. Troops are being or
dered from Montreal to Quebec, and consid
erable excitement prevails.
GEN. GRANT has informed fhe Board nf
Registration in Louisiana, that the subject of
inaugurating a civil government for that
State, is now before Congress, and advisea
them not to issue any proclamations conflict
ing with the orders of the military command
ers, as such action would he a violation of
the Reconstruction acts.
I THE Alabama Democratic State Conven
tion, which met last week and chose delegates
to the New York Convention, passed a reso
lution tendering "the thanks of the Southern
people to Jeff. Davis for the unflinching cour
age aud unsurpassed ability with whieh he
acquitted himself of his official oath to de
fend the Constitution, any paying to him the
respect of the Convention as a patriot and in
corruptible man."
THE President has accepted the report of
the commissioners on the section of the Union
Pacific Railroad between the 580 th aud 600 th
mile posts, and ordered the issue of bonds
and patents for lauds due on account thereof.
A QCESTIOX. —The New York Tribune has
the following good hit: "According to the
Washington correspondent of the Boston Post,
the President announces that the names of
those Republican Senators, who voted for his j
acquittal, will be written iu letters of gold."
V.'e would not be thought officious in the mat '
i ter, but why won't greenbacks do just as
I well?"
J A Paris telegram of the 12th says: It is
I not proposed by the Czar to do away with the
use of all kinds of explosive projectiles, but
only with rifle and musket bullets which bary
themselves in the flesh and then explode. It
is the disuse of this murderous invention
which receives the unqualified approval of
the Emperor Napoleon.
THE STATE MEDICAL SOCIETY has been in
session in Harrisburg for several days. The
-deliberations have been of more than ordinary
interest. On Thursday Dr. Atlee, of Phila
delphia. offered a resolution interpreting the
cods of ethics to allow the admission of female
physicians. Dr. Nebinger, of the same ciiy,
spoke at length against the resolution, and
Dr. Corson, spoke in favor of it. The res
olution was subsequently defeated by a vote ot
37 to 40.
THE Pittsburg Gauttt asserts that it is the
unanimous sentiment, "not only of Allegheny
county but of Western Pennsylvania, that if
Edwin M. Stanton will sutler his name to be
pre: cnted as a candidate for the Senate,
competition, by whatever amount of intrigue
or money it might be backed, could beat him,
and we are so sure of it, that the feeling in
this quarter is decidedly in favor of making
the experiment."
iiox. E. A. itoU-iss, Commissioner of
Internal Revenue, has resigned h;s office.
He is an honest man, but Johnson has forced
upon him a host ot incompetent and corrupt
assistants, throughout the country, that he has
been prevented from strictly enforcing the
•revenue laws. lie sees that the Government
is being outrageously swindled, and because
he has no power to prevent it he resigns.
IT is said that Mr. Johnson's offer of the
Treasury Department to Mr. Groeabeek was
merely complimentary. Mr. Johnson knew
that Mr. Groesbeck would not aceept the po
! sition, knowing that the Senate would not
confirm him. The President meant no dis
approval of Secretary McCullcch's course,
but merely wished to repay Mr. Groesbeek
with a lame compliment for services rende. ad

THE Democratic members ot the Washing
ton City Council, having elected a Mayor ad
interim, are now determined on impeach
ment. To-day they will draw up articles of
impeachment against the City Register, Mr.
Boswell, for bis refusal to comply with their
wishes. They will also notify Mr. Bowen,
the regularly elected Mayor of the city.
Meantime Mr. Bowen. Mr. Boswell and the
Republican members of the City Council pay
no attention to these threats, and hold pos
session of their offices.
GENERA!. GRANT is supported by every il
lustrious soldier in the Union —Sherman,
Meade, Sheridan. Sickles, Geo. H. Thomas,
Hooker, Pleassnton, McDowell, Canby,
Emory, Seofield, Mower, Ord, Halleck. Kil
patriek, Logan, Rawlings, and a host of vol
unteer generals, many of whom have hereto
fore been Democrats. Gen. Hancock is the
only really eminent officer who seems willing
to train with the anti war Democracy.
THE Postal Committee of the House will
shortly report a bill in favor of changing the
postal money order system, so that orders
will be issued for any amount from $1 to
$•">0; for the first s"0 a fee of 10 cents: from
S2O to S3O, 15 cents: SOO to $lO. 20 cents;
$lO to SSO, 25 cents. Also a provision to
return all letters to writers free of postage,
when any card or address is upon the outside
of the letter, and when such letters arc not
called for within 30 days.
THE House passed the Omnibus Reconstruc
tion bill, and had it eurolled ready to go to
the President on the 13th, so that the ten days
for which he can hold it will expire on the
21th inst. The members of Congress from
the restored States are all elected, and many
are now on hand, and it is calculated that the
Senators, fourteen in all, will ail be elected
and be "in hand by July 1. Except Florida, all
are expected to send radical anti-Johnson
men, "though great fear is felt lest Florida
should elect one Conservative, most probably
Postmaster-General Randall.
l at; Managers of the Impeachment will re
port the testiinouey taken before them con
cerning the means used to effect votes on the
articles of impeachment during this weak.
They say they will prove conclusively that had
the vote been taken sooner, the president,
would certainly have been convicted; that his
last vote was never "secured" until about ten
hours before the vote was taken on the elev
enth article, and that some of his counsel are
seriously compromised by their associations
and know-ledge of these coruptions. Some of
the testimony will not be very flattering to
Pendleton, who, it appears, was especially
anxious for Johnson's acquittal.
THE President seut to the Senate the
nomination of the Hon. Reverdy Johnson, of
Maryland, to be Envoy Extraordinary and
Minister Plenipotentiary to England, in place
of Mr. Adams, resigned, ft is customary to
refer Executive nominations to the appro
priate committees for examination, with
occasional exceptions of those relating to
members or ex-members of that body, in
cases where it is intended to show marks of
j Senatorial respect, by advising and con
, seating to the Presidential appointment. The
j Senate, on this occasion, dispensed with the
j formality, and Mr. Johuson's nomination
was unanimously confirmed.
t\ HEN Mr. Wooley finally got before the
House, upon the representations that he wa3
ready to purge himself of contempt, and drew
forth a large bundle of manuscript, whieh
indicated an hour's speech, he wore the air of
a conqueror; but when Mr. Covodu protested
1 against his being heard until* he was ready
to answer the questions yes or no, and charged
that he stood before the House as a perjurer
and to Hs contempt, he quailed; and being
directly in frout of the Clerk's desk, where
he could not consult with any one, he soon
indicated his willingness to answer at once.
SENATORS FROM THE SOUTH. —The
Washington cor-cspondent of the Syracuse
Journal writes as follows; It is understood
here that the Senators from South Carolina
will be Dr._ Maokey ol Charleston and
Colonel llobinson of Columbia, or a young
lawyer from the western part of the State—
a Mr. Russell. In North Carolina, General
Abbott of Wilmington, formerly of New
Hampshire, will be one Senator, and General
Dougherty, a native of the State, probably
the other. In Georgia, Foster I'lodgett of
Augusta will, io all probability, be one of
the Senators, aud considerable fears arc felt
that the other may bo the ex Rebel Gover
nor, Joseph C. Brown. Colonel 11. P. Far
row and J. 1. Doming, both sterling men,
are running against him. In Florida, a
Colonel Osborne is to be elected for the lon
ger term, and it is believed Colonel Hart,
* native of the State, and always a Radical
Unionist, will be the other. In Louisiana,
JudgeDarell is the most likely to be elected.
Thomas J. Durant, who was compelled to
leave the State after the New Orleanajuas
saere, has recently returned. He will bo a
candidate.

GOING BACK ON "A WHITE MAN'S
GOVERNMENT. Tho real motive which
actuates the more sagacious of the Demo
cratic leaders, in favoring the nomination of
Chief .Justice Chase, isto get ridoftheblaek
record the party has made the past twenty
years. His nomination would be equivalent
to abandoning every piincipk the party has
advocated the past twenty years. In each!
successive campaign, these leaders sac, tbey
have made more stupid and criminal b:un
ders, until during the war they absolutely:
covered themselves with political iniquity. I
The nomination of Chief Justice Chase
would be a confession that their past cour-e
has been all wrong. Knowing that the re
sult of the present campaign is already set
tled against them, their leaders arc looking
to solid reconstruction for the future, so
that,.with the new movements which shall
lollotv the complete rehabilitation of the
Southern States, they may be rid of every
incubus, and start on an equal footing with
tho republican party. Coming in at the
eleventh hour, and when the work is all
done, they will claim tho full reward of life
long devotion to freedom, equality and
union, and think than the whitewash of the
Chief Justice will have rendered them clean.
The movement for the nomination of Mr.
Chase is simply a movement toward silence
ing, at once and forever, the men who are
Democrat- because tbey believe in it, in the
interest of those who wish to use party a.a
means to obtain public plunder.— Albany

FANNV FKIIN relates her experience with
a female who, from a proud position in
''the fir-t society." had been reduced to the
necessity of soliciting charity from house to
house. In this vocation she could accom
plish the most remarkable pedestrian per
formance, yet was her health too fragile for
any regular form of industry. She rented
a small room, and when funds were flush,
would take her meals at Dehnonico's. Lat
terly her solicitations took the form of mut
ton chops, donations of which she was quite
persistent in soliciting. But woe to those
who'conferred chops. For the mendicant's
appetite grew by what it fed upon and the
receipt of one chop was followed by regular
applications for chops serially and regularly,
until the principal purveyor, a clergyman,
brought the chops to a close "by the remark:
"Madam, if you arc ill and hungry, I will
give you a mutton chop to day, but I can
not undertake to supply you regularly.'"
< )ne lady, rather than he constantly annoyed
by application for chops, paid a week,9
board in advance at a very good house. A
week later the mendicant was obseived to
be again on the mutton chop lay. This
tailing, small donations of cash were accep
ted. and this high bred lady, who scorned
woTk and workers, has been known to accept
a five cent piece as a gratuity.

for ao fripiert in the world would have gid

then, "I believe I will get about a dollar foji

EXORBITANT RENTS.—Some of the New
York papers think that the landlords of that
city have rather overreached themselves in
asking such extravagant rents, for their
houses and stores. The consequences are;
that ntaDy places remain unoccupied; those
who would have hired tlicm at fair rents
having kept out of business, and gone into
the suburbs for dwelling houses. The same
exorbitance is prevailing in [this vicinity.
The prices of estates and the rents of houses
and stores are frightfully high; and families
who would gladly purchase or hire, are kept
at board, or are driven into tho suburbs;
where they fare a little better than in the
city, though, all things considered, but very
little better, except in tho matter of room.—

COIM'EKHEAD OPINIONS OF GEN.
GRANT HKFOKK 1118 NOMI
NATION.
Some months ago the copperheads were
rather hopeful that Gen. Grant might be
prevailed upon to become their candidate
for the Presidency instead of the Repub
lican. Their opinions of the man at that
time may fairly be taken as honest ones,
therefore we propose to lay some of them
before our readers and from time to time
compare them with such opinions as they
have already expressed since his nomination
and may hereafter express. The Pittsburg
Post one of the most reliable Democratic
papers iu the State, within a few months
past has spoken as follows:
Suppose that, contrary to the wish of
some of the leading Radical Black Repub
licans, who want the office Themselves, Gen.
(I rant should be nominated for the Presi
dency by the Republican party, which course

any other individual in the United States.
We believe him to be far superior to the ma

have been ruling the tuition without bring

He is known to all the people as a straight

a man well disposed to deal fairly with the

The New York World, the leading and
most respectable copperhead paper in the
country, spoke as follows of Gon. Grant in
1805.
LIECTEN A NT- (J E.N ERA L URANT.
From The World, April I], 1865.
Geu. Grant's history should (each us tc
discriminate better than we Americans are
apt to do between glitter and solid work.
Our proneness to run after demagogues and
.-pouters may find a wholesome corrective
in the study of such a character as liis. The
qualities by which great things are accom
plished arc here seen to have no necessary
connection with showy and superficial ac
complishments. When the mass of men
look upon such a character, they may learn
a truer respect for themselves and each
other; they are taught by it that high qual
ities and great abilities are consistent with
the simplicity of taste, contempt for parade,
and plainness of manners with which direct
and earnest men have a strong natural svui
pathy. riyssi s Grant, the tanner, I'ly-sei
Grant, the unsuccessful applicant for the
post of Gity Surveyor of St. Louis, Ulyssei
Grant, the driver into ti.at city of his twe
horse team with a load of wood to sell, had
within him every manly quality which will
cause the name of Lieutenant-Genera!
Grant to live forever in history. His eareei
is a lesson in practical democracy; it is a
quiet satire ou the daudyism; the puppyism,
and the shallow affectation of our fashiona
ble exquisites as well as upon the swagger
of our plausible, glib-tongucd demagogues.
Not by any means that great qualities arc
inconsistent with cultivated manners and a
fluent elocution; but that such superficial
.wmnplishments are no measure of worth
or ability.
Gen. Grant's last brilliant campaign sett
the final seal upon his reputation. l(
i-tamps him as the superior of his able an
"tiist as well as of all the commanders
vho have served with or under him iu the
/reat campaigns of the last year. It is not
necessary to sacrifice any part of their well
earned to his. Sherman and
Sheridan deserve ail that has ever been
said in their praise; but there had never
been a time, since Grant was made Lieu
tenant-General, when anybody but Sher
aan, on our - de, could have been classed
1 ith him. Since Sherman's bold march
firough (ieorgia, and his capture of Savan
tah and ( harleston, there have been many
'ho, in their strong admiration of his great
phieveineuts, inclined to rank him as the
geater general of the two. That judgment.
*e take it is now reversed by the court ol
nal appeal; not by dwarfing the reputa
ion of Sherman, which suffers no just
batement. but by the expansion into graud
r proportions of that of Grant.
Grant rtands preeminent among all the
'tenerals who have led our armies in the late
var. in that he has exhibited the utmost
trength of will of which the highest type
•f manhood is capable. The defenses of
• icksburg and the defenses of iliclimond
ere both deemed impregnable, and were
ef'endcd with a proportionable confidence
nd obstinacy; but they both yielded, at
Ist, to Grant's matchless persistence and
nequaled strategy. And, in both eases,
fc not only took the long contested po.-i
--*>n, but compelled the surrender of the
hole force defending theui. Nothing
I'uld be more clean end complete, even in
iiagiuation, than (fen. Grant's masterly
tecution. He did not merely, in each
tse, acquire a position which was the key
( a wide theater of operations: ho did not
rerely beat or disable the opposing force;
b left nolragmcnt of it in existence except
s prisoners of war subject to bis disposal.
If any body is so obtuse or so wrong
eaded as to see nothing great in Gen.
•/'ant, beyond his marvelous tenaneity of
ill, let that doubter explain, if he can, how
has happened that, since Grant rose to
iigh command, this quality has always
seen exerted in conspicious energy precisely
it the point on which everything in his
vhole sphere ofoperatioas hinged. There
las been no display ol great qualities on
mall occasions; no_ expenditure of herculean
! flort to accomplish objects not of the first
jxiugnitude. It is only a very clear-sighted
/ana a very comprehensive mind that could
always thus have laid the whole emphasis
of an indomitable soul so precisely on the
emphatic place. How, if he be not a
general of the first order of intellect, as well
as of the mo>t heroic determination, does
it happen that in assigning great and bril
liant parts to his subordinate commanders,
ho has never, when the results of his strategy
were fully unfolded, appeared in the picture
except as the central figure? However it
may seem during the progress of one of his
great combined campaigns, it always turns
out at last, when it reaches that complete
ness and fiuish in which lie contrives to
have his campaigns end, that we see him
standing in the foreground, and that the
grouping is always such that the glory of the
other generals, instead of eclipsing his own,
gives it additional luster. It is this surenrss
of judgement which sees precisely where lies
the turning point; which sees precisely what
are the objects that justify the utmost
stretch of persistence; it is this ability to
take in the whole field of view in just per
spective and due subordination of parts,
that is the mark of a superior mind. Gen.
Grant has taken out of the hands of all
i-rities thequesticn whether it belongs to hitn.
He has won his greatest triumph over the
uost skillful and accomplished General on
ie other side; over a General who foiled him
.usg enough to prove his great mastery of
tie art of war: and the completeness of
defeat is a testimony to Grant's
g t rius such as victory over any other Gen
er.l of that Confederacy, or eveu au earlier
viiiory over Lee himself, could not have
gi\Sn, Apply to Gen. Grant what test
yo* will; measure him by the magnitude of
tht obstacles he has surmounted, by the
valte of the positions he has gained, by tho
fae of the antagonist over whom he has
triumphed, by the achievements of his
mist illustrious co-workers, by the sureness
wth which he directs his indomitable energy
tothe vital point which is the key of a vast
fidd of operations, or by that supreme test
of consummate abiy, tlio absolute com
pleteness ot his re ML & rid he vindicates his
claim to stand ta^Bi after Napoleon and
Wellington, among T eat soldiers of this
century, if not on a !<%with the latter.

Gen. Grant was nominJLthe same paper

Such is copperhead patriotism! Such,
copperhead consistency! But the successful
General, the gallaut soldier, the true patri
ot cannot be hurt by such mendacity. The
honest expression of their sentiments be
fore being tainted with partisan hatred,
bitterness and falsehood, will be taken by
the people as the true measure of merit,
while the partisan abuse that follows will be
justly ignored as the ravings of disappoint
ed, unscrupulous and despairing party lead
ers trying, but in vain, to tarnish the bright
ness of the fame of the man whom they
were unable to control and use because of
histsterling integrity and devoted patriotism.
A DEMOCRATIC OPINION OF 1118 ".SOLID
PUBLIC SERVICES," THE "STEADINESS
AND STAUNCHNESS OF HIS PATRIOTISM,"
AND TUX "UPRIGHTNESS" OF HIS CHAR
ACTER.
General Grant's temporary acceptance of
the War Department causes a stir in the
Republican party, which confuses the cal
culations of those L'-"'hlicans who. five.
*eeaV ago, counted sceiifep' on his nomina
tion as their candidate for the Presidency. '
Those Republican newspapers, therefore, .
which, like the Times , are trying to identify j
General Grant with the Republican party A
are opposing a strong presumption by the i
thinnest and feeblest of shadowy inferences, j
Gen. Grant, to be sure, favors the execution \
of the Reconstruction acts, but so also does
President Johnson. As they do not differ
on this point, they probably differ on none i
which is pertinent to the present posture ot |
afFairs. President Johnson would indeed
have had no such laws passed as he feels 1
constrained to execute; nor is there any mi- i
deuce that Gen. Grant ever favored, or tried I
to pi ornate their postage. President John
son concedes that Congress has practical J
control of reconstruction hy consenting to '
execute Hit laics it has panned on t hat sub
ject; and Gen. Grant finding these laws in
force, recognizes their authority, without
going behind them to inquire whether they i
ought to have been enacted. There is no !
evidence that the President and Acting |
Secretary of War differ on any important
practical question. The fact that the Trib - j
nne arid other Republican journals object to j
Gen. Grant that he has never signified his j
assent to their principles, deserves notice
and consideration. Of the steadiness and
{staunchness of Gen. Grant's patriotism, or
the uprightness and the solidity of his char
acter, no man in the country doubts, nor af
fects to doubt. The most perfect loyalty,
then, may stand with the most absolute in
difference to those objects which the liepub
j liean party regards as supreme. Or, to ex- !
press the same idea differently, devotion to ;
Republican shibboleth is no test of devotion !
ilO the country. On the score of loyalty and ;
solid public sere ices, no man in the country ''
ran come into competition with this illustrious '
sod" r. But measure biui by the usual
Loyal League standards, and it requires a
magnifying glass of very extraordinary pow
er to discover that hi: has any merit of pa- :
trio/ism at all.
The Tribune is clamorous to have Gener- i
al Grant show his colors and take sides in j
the party squabbles of the day. We rejoice
that then is one man m the eonnhy who is
above tin necessity of such belittling partisan' j
ship. We trust that Gen. Grant loves his ;
whole country; that he desires the. good of
ali its citizens, without regard to any divi
ding lines—whether they be lines of party, ;
or section, or race, or color. It is the no
blest reward of great services like his, that j
it exalts the character of this high level; j
that it enables a man to act nobly without
appearing to be pretentious. Gen. Grant !
is under a moral necessity of respecting the j
great renown of his past services. It is be
neath him to play any common part in vul
gar polities. The Presidency can be noth
ing to him; he has a more valuable office.
llut if in the hands of Providence, he amid
be an instrument for tranguilizing the coint- i
try. tluit is an honor for which he could af
font to sacrifice ease, congenial pursuits, and
the responsibilities of greater fame as a sol
dier.
God forbid that he should descend into
the arena of part v contests. If be cannot
bo elected President without such a decent,
he can do no good in the Presidency. Our
torn, lacerated, exasperated country needs
soothing, needs pacification, needs oil on
the troubled waters, which still toss and
dash after the recent tempest. We would
no more have General Grant become a par
ty politician than, if we had lived in Wash
ington's time, we would have wished him
to give and return party blows. As Wash
ington was elected and re-elected on the
strength of his character and services, with
out pledges either a-ked or given, ice trust
that General Grant will be elected, if at all,
in the same way, and with the same gener
ous confidence, flaring restored the author

add the highest civic to the. highest military
fume bu restating long lost cordiality of jet)-

IN a letter hitherto unpublished, dated
August, 1857, the late Lord Brougham ex
plained to a curious correspondent his now
famous saying, "The school-master is
abroad." lie wrote: "The expression to
which Mr. refers, of the schoolmaster
being abroad, was first used by Lord
Brougham in the debate January 29, 1828,
in the House of Commons. What he meant
was that the schoolmaster was in the field
to instruct the people, and that they had
no occasion to lear oppression from other
quarters. It had been a common"saying
before that the soldier was abroad, and
would have his own in the world."
UItOWIN'; —The newspapers of Philadel
phia. and iiostou are joyful over recent
statistics which show that the commerce ot

number of arrivals this year is two thousand

sponding period of ISO". Many hundreds
of dwelling houses arc also going upiu those
cities, and therein both have the advantage
of New York, where landlords not only pur
up few houses, but drive away tenants by
asking exorbitont rents. — Tin: /'vst.
THE Parisian gossips say that the Mar

from her, and holding even a mortgage on
her wardrobe. The Marquis is very un
popular iu fashionable circles, and nothing
would delight the Parisian aristocracy more

is, that its combustibility is considerably
diminished, while its explosive force remains

Farmers will please look at the great advantage
in Thrashing Grain with
GKISKRS' PATENT SELF-REG PLA
TING GRAIN SEPARATOR.
CLEANER AND BAGGER.
With the latest Improved Tripple-Geared Horse
Power, driven either by Hear or Belt.
No. 1 is a eight-horse power, with cast iron
thresher frame and wrought iron and wood cylin
der, sixteen inches in diameter and thirty-ihree
inches long. Trunk has ten inch rake crank and
seven rake? is thirty-five inches wide, and deliv
ers the straw on the second rake, these carry the
straw out on their tops, and deliver it on the
."tack y.T t which will deliver about thirty five feet
beyond the feeder, on a stack fifteen to eighteen
feet high, and can be easily managed to carry
the chaff with the straw, or deliver it in a sepa
rate place. The trunk and fan sides being closed,
10 confine the straw and chaff, remedies all diffi
culties in cleaning grain against windy weather.
It bags the grain by reasonable management, suf
ficiently clean for market, and its capacity, under
ordinary circumstances, is from twenty to forty
bushels per hour, using eight horses and the same
number of hands; but to force the work under
favorable circumstance, it will thresh from forty
to fifty bushels per hour, and with more ease and
agrecableness to hands than any other machine j
now iu common use.
The No. 2 id particularly adapted to the farmer's
use: in intending to apply to any common lever
or railway power: weighs 1,300 pounds; has an
iron threshers frame, and cylinder, 123 inches in
diameter and 28 inches long: delivers the clean
grain in hags, or if desired, in a half bushel. It
delivers the straw fifteen feet from the feeder, or
if desired, can deliver the straw and chaff togeth
er; will thresh and clean, in good grain, ready for
market, from 100 to 175 bushels of wheat, or from
300 to 000 bushels of oats per day. using four or
six horses, and the same number of hands: but to
force the w?.rk, under most favorable circum
stances, good grain. Ac., will thresh and clean
considerable more. The Machine will thresh and
clean all kinds of grain generally threshed with
the common machine, and requires no more horse
power, but in many cases does not run so
hard. It will apply very well to a two-horse rail
way power.
Now here is what the Farmer and thresherman
wants, a Separator to go from farm so farm, to
thrash grain, with more satisfaction than any
other separator now in use, and why is it? Be
cause this separator has a self regulating Blast,
which prevents grain from blowing into the chaff,
and also has a self regulating feeder to feed the
cleaner and it has rollers and combs in the clean
er which prevents it from choaking. Why does
this machine run so light, and give so little trou
ble? Because there is less friction in the Jour
nals, and the rakes and fan arc geared so that you
have no trouble with Belts breaking and slipping,
causing dust to fall into the wheat. Why does it
clean against the wind.' Because the blast has
direct action on the grain and the cleaner is so
well arranged that the wind has no chance to
drive the dirt into the hopper. Why is it built
permanently on two wheels and the front car
riage separate, ready to attach when necessary '!
Because it is more convenient in the barn without
the front carriage. You can turn the machine or
run it from place to place more easily. Why has
it not got Elevators like some other machines?
Because ibe Elevators carry the fifth back alter
nately into the cleaner which must eventually go
into the good wheat or in the chaff, and all know,
that filth should be kept separate for fed. Sc.,
we might as well keep shoveling the Tailings
from under our hand fan into the hopper and ex
pect to get the grain clean. Why is this separa
tor more cleaner aud satisfactory to work about
thap others? Because the Fan and Trunk Sides
are closed up to prevent the wheat chaff and dust
from coming out and scattering over the floor,
causing waist and giving much trouble with dirt
and soie eyes, Ac. Why do Thrcshenuan get
more work with these separators than they do
with others ? Because this separator has all these
advantages and many more, which makes it a
separator suitablo and a paying one for all
farmers and Thrashermcu that have grain to
thrash, whilst in most cases farmers must suit
themselves to the machine, because the machine
will not suit itself to the farmer. In short, this
is the cheapest, most durable, reliably, simple and
most agreeable to work about and the only separ
ator that will clean and hag the grain auflicieutly
clean for market under all circumstances.
Farmers can rest assured that this machine is
no buinhug, and judging front the high recom
mendation of farmers that arc using them, we
must come to the conclusion that it is the very
Machine that farmers want and will have as soon
as they have an opportunity to appreciate and
attst its merits, for which we hope they will give
us an opportunity, as wc arc willing to le respon
sible if it does not perform as represented in this
Circular. Shop prices of Machine* rati ye from
$215, to $540.
jaarWe warrant the machines to be as above
represented; also against any reasonable defects
of material workmanship, Ac.
