GRANT AS A CIVILIAN That General Grant is not a flippant talker (says the Bosun Globe), like the irrepressible Greeley, is very true, and the co.liti,n papers are constantly making this reticence of the President the subject of their petty ridicule. It is quite pro bable that he has no taste or inclination for such egotistical displays, and very little faith in their efficacy in influencing the popular judgment. In this respect there is a wide difference between him and Mr. Greeley. The latter has an overweening confidence in his powers of oratory. and is never so well pleased as when he can get before an audience and air his vocabulary. He is exceedingly vain of his oratorical capacity, and is more than will ing to speechify at all times and upon all subjects. Even his candidacy for, the highest office in the government imposes na restraint of prtrdence or delicacy upon him, but rather stimulates his talking propensity. Accordingly we see him rushing off into the New England and Middle States, and scattering his common place babble among the crowds who are drawn by curiosity to see the show of a garrulous candidate fur President begging votes for himself. Gen. Grant is no Buchman as this, and it is all the better for the country that it is so ; for that incontinence of speech which runs to incessant and inconsiderate stump speaking is no test of statesmanship, and is seldom associated with high civil or military qualities. When occasion re quires, General Grant can speak, and his brief and pointed utterances are to the point. He has at times said wore in a few words than could be extracted from Gree_ ley's infinity of language by boiling down and compressing all that he has ever spa ken or written. When Grant said to the enemy, "The only terms are unconditional surrender," lie made a speech which cheer ed and electrified the whole country, and told what his motves and objects were, as well as though he had made a harangue an hour long. So, too, alien he announ ced from the steps of the Capitol, "I shall have no policy to enforce against the will of the people," that comprehensive declar ation indicated his sense of official duty and his purpose to perform that duty as fully as the most elaborate oration could have done: It is not by words that Gen. Grant is to be judged, either in his civil or military career, but by his acts; and, as a civilian, his administration will compare favorably with that of any President who has gone before him. Enteric' r upon his arduous official duties soon after the close of the war, and when the disordered condition in which that contest had left the affairs of the country had been further complicated and disturbed by the mongrel administra tion of Johnston's accidental Presidency his wisdon and firmness contributed effect ively to bring order out of chaos, and to re-establish national prosperity. The en tangled relations existing between this country and Great Britian have been re stored to a state of harmony by a wise and honorable course of arbitration, the success of which is hailed by the civilized nations of the world as the glory of the nineteenth century. Under this administration, the enfranchised slaves have been secured in their rights as freemen, and upheld and protected in their new career as citizens. At the same time the boon of amnesty has been extended with unparalleled liberality to those upon whom the Constitution plac ed its ban because of their participation in the rebellion. For this wise and gener ous policy toward the conquered enemies of the Union, the country is especially 1 1 beholden to President Grant; for it was in accordance with his direct recommen dation to Congress that it was adopted, and the principle of amnesty was entirely consonant with the humane and liberal sentiments which dictated the terms of Lee's surrender. The financial success of Gen. Grant's administration cannot be too highly com mended; for it is the result of a wise and cautious policy, which is destined in the future, ifnot disturbed, to carry the coun try safely through all its pecuniary burdens, and make it stronger, more united in interest, and more prosperous than it was before the war. While reducing the burden of taxation some three hundred million of dollars per year, this policy has enabled the government to pay off about three hundred and fifty millions of the war debt, and to open the way for funding the balance of the debt at a reduced rate of interest. Such visible and tangible tokens of good administration as this bespeak civic qrialities of a high order in the head of the government, and they should not be lost sight of by people in estimating the propriety of a change of rulers. In the great and essential ele ments of administration, President Grant has done well; and in the time to come may be depended on to follw out the same judicious policy which has thus far effected such good results. Can the same be said of Mr. Greeley, visionary, vacillating, "unstable as water," and surrounded by a set of harpies whose history is a record of ',corruption and public plunder ?

The Republican State Committee ten ders i:s hearty thanks to the Republicans of the State, for the devotion they have shown to their principles, and the firmness with which they have mantained the in tegrity of the party against the fierce as sault made upon it. We cannot, without being invidious, select individuals for special mention, but our thanks aro pa titularly due to the chairmen of the several Republican pun t), committees for their faithful and efficient co-operation, to the many gentlemen throughout the State who have given their time and talents to advocating our cause on the stump, to the able speakers from abroad who aided us, and to the Re publican newspaper press of the State, which has, by its zeal and ability, com mended itself anew to the confidence and regard of our pe The November battle yet remains to be fought. Practically, its result may be said to be known beyond doubt; but touch re mains to be done to make that result cer tain. We go into the fight with our hearts cheered by the great victory just won ; end we must win for GRANT a still greater triumph than that we have just gained for HARTRANFT. In carrying on this struggle to its cer tain and triumphant conclusion, some who have fought us bitterly and taken active part with the enemy, will attempt to re, gain in our ranks the places they have wilfully forsaken. No one has the right to say that these men shall not now come in and vote for GRANT; but we have the right to say, and we trust that the chairman of every Republican county committee in the State will unite with us in saying, emphatically and irrevocably, that no one who fought against HART RANFT shall be permitted to make a; speech under our auspices for GRA: T. Let them hold meetings of their 'own, if they will, but not with our aid or permis sion. Very Respectfully, RUSSELL ERRETT , ATTEND TO THE ASSESSMENTS, All extra assessments before the Presi dential election should be made before the 24th day of' October. Letter from Gen. Lane. SHIRLEYSBCRO, OCt. 21,18T2 Mn. DURBORROW:-Permit me, through your paper, to make a statement of facts concerning Senator Scott's frank and mixed tickets. Having been asked by many of my Demo cratic friends to furnish them with my name, and in some instances with the name of Abra ham A. Barker, on the Democratic ticket, I finally consented to do so, as a matter of convenience. I got said tickets printed in the JOURNAL office, and took them to the office of our county committee on Thursday beforo the election, and not having a sufficient list of Democratic addresses at hand I asked the chairman of the committee, (Mr. Tyhurst,) for his list of addresses, that I might send tickets to active Republicans, who would give them out to Democrats that wished to vote for me. I also asked Mr. Tyhurst if I could use some of the envelopes that I saw there, with Senator Scott's frank on them, as they seemed to be there for the benefit of the campaign, and be said I could use them. I proceeded at once to address said envelopes, but before I got through with the list ofaddresses, Mr. Tyhurst said he was afraid that I would not leave en velopes enough for his purposes, so I address ed no more of them and I left a portion of those already addressed as be could use them in sending out other matter. As there was not time to write a letter to each person, I enclos ed some of my pesters in nearly every case with the mixed tickets that the parties receiv ing them might know who had sent them and that they were to be given to such Democrats as wished that kind of tickets. These are the facts, and I considered that! had good author ity to use the envelopes already franked. As to fielding out mixed tickets, I did just what has been done by candidates for years. I am amazed to find that this whole matter has been misconstrued, and that parties who knew nothing about it have been censured and mis represented, and that I have been charged with committing a fraud upon the party. I deem this statement duo to myself and to all whom it may concern. Yours, truly, F. H. LANE. ~ i a ~ H 2765 25771 4434 3685, 29731 78981 4263, 7443 Lotter from 3ellefonte. BELLEFONTE, PA., Oct. 19, 1872. The political excitement in Bellefonte, during the las, month, has been greater than ever before known. The Republi cans had a Wigwam erected to hold their meetings in, and the wide-awakes were out with torch and cape as high as three times in a week. The very air seemed transform. ed into fire and music. While Governor Curtin stood trembling on the political fence, his friends here were in the greatest suspense, but his letter of acceptance trans formed that suspense into eternal hatred. On his arrival here he was met at the de pot by a leading member of the Democrat ic party and conducted to the Bush If °use through a large crowd, some of whom look ed with pity, others with hatred, on that once admired and stately form. His warm est friends and givatest admirers hereto fore, now pass hint without a look of re cognition or a word of welcome. Members of both parties seem to stand aloof, where as had he come clothed in his right mind. he would have received the grandest recep tion that Bellefonte had the capacity to give. The brass band alone announced. his arrival. A powerful effort was made on the part of the Democrats to give him a reception on the following evening, even free transportation was given all who wish ed to come from Lock Haven to partici pate therein, but notwithstanding all this, only a few hundred were found in line, and a great many of these were too drunk to keep step to the music. To say the least, it was a sickly effort when compared with the Republican demonstration of disappro val on the following Friday night. There were about two thousand wide-awakes in line, it.terspersed with sixty-five wagons representing different vocations in lifb, the whole enlivened by sweet strains of music from many bands. . 1317160 353387 317761:1 12855961 35627 On eleCtion day business was on a stand still, and in the evening crowds of people were on the streets, in the Bush House and in tiie Wigwam, shouting, yelling and ginging at the top of their voices : 'Take the news to Andy." "Bellefonte, the home of Curtin, the traitor to his party and best friends, gone for Hartranfr, with 1:::7a gains over the last Governor's election !" The excitement was indescribable. Every Republican seemed perfectly wild in their demonstrations of joy. Men, who at other times were considered the personification of dignity, were there found singing and cheering, hugging one another, smashing hats, pushing one another, etc. Men who were strictly temperate heretofore were found showering invectives on Governor Curtin and the Town Council; the first for deserting the party, and the second for permitting the pavements to fly up in their faces. When the news came from Philadelphia the excitement was intense, and after which a leading lawyer, who had not touched anything intoxicating for ma ny years, was seen standing on the bar singing, in chorus with about fifty others, "Rally round the flag"—poor Curtin, meanwhile,- sitting like a condemned man in his room overhead, solitary and alone, reaping the harvest of his ingratitude. It may be truly said of him, he lived to die— had he died he would have lived in the hearts of the American people and the party which raised him to position and opulence. The people here are very bitter in their feelings toward him. He should be pitied, but the people here do not. Trai tor involuntarily escapes from their lips when his name is mentioned. and his for mer friends turn from him disgusted.— Among those jubilant over the news were Curtin's brother and relatives, and two of his brothers were Vice Presidents of the mass meeting on the Friday evening fol lowing his return to this place. It is sad, indeed, that the work of a lifetime should bo canceled by one improper step. This campaign has written his obituary; there fore peace to the ashes of the "great war Governor." W. S. Mc.
