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 ?

CONGRATULATORY.
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,

dential election should be made before the

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.

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. .

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.
