It has not, however, been satisfactorily ex

rims the Mayfield (Ky.) Democrat, a strong
Greeley paper, speaking of the amnesty bill
lately passed by Congress and of the coalition
ticket, says; •
"We submit with feelings of contempt and
loathing to this royal bounty (amnesty) from
his Leather-Headed Majesty, U. S. Grant. *
We know that the Cincinnati ticket is a bit
ter pill to many life long Democrats, but the
medicine will have to be taken If we ever ex
pect to gain the mcenduncy In this country
again."
The same paper goes on to say that by
"stooping" In 1872 the Democratic party wit

ern pt ople are promised that they shall hav,
things pretty much their own way. Another
Kentucky journal discerns imperialism in the
air, and explodes in the following savage
hishion :
"1t Gant proposes to retain power by force
of arms, we are or accepting the glove and
settling the mailer now, whether the people
of the United States are Irony of free govern
ment."
But It is not the editors alone who indulge
ht ti ls sort of rhodomontide. The orators
speak in the same key. For example, in the
—airse of n into address before a Southern
DI •numental Association, Farther Ryan, fl
,ditical priest who wields a wide•sprea I in•
norm. throughout the South, pointed to the
son which was soli:: g behind a dark cloud,
and dramatically exclaimed :
"As pro sun goes ,down behind a dark
cloud, so went down the hopes of those en
vnged in the unequal struggle for Southern
liberty. But behind that cloud the stars are
still shining, just as the star of hope is still
lighting up th • hearts of our'people ; and as
the• sun will rise again on the morrow, Bushell
eventually rise up in all its splendor the now
down-trodden and partially obscured cause
of not and justice."
In a similar vein is the address of Col. Paul
H. Ibeyne, the poet of the '•Lust Cause," late
ly delivered in Montgolitery, Alabama, and
mlorsed in a card signed by a number oflead
tie citizens who requested It to be printed in
till, "to give an orpo , tunity to those who
lid not attend to pr.fit by its valuable and In
atrnetive teachings." Said the orator:
"The conflict is not over, nor, have its
'issues' perished I When the banner of con
servatisin was veiled at Appomattox, the great
battle was ndjaiutned simply—carried over to
a different field, dominated by different for
ces."
All this may sound ridiculous enough at
present. But how would it look if they who
in 1861 gave to the country four years of des
olating war and a national dent ottwenty.five
hundred millions or dollars, should again oh
'alit control of the government? These an
[natters worthy the gravest consideration of
the peple who preserved the Itherties of the

From the Pitteberith Commercial.
A favorite editorial phrase of Mr. Greeley's,
luring his control of the Tritium . , was the re•
mars of Penelon or some one else, that that
nation was happiest which was most poor in
annals. The veteran editor scented, from the
frequency with which he employed this ob
nervation to point a moral or adorn a tale, to
consider It one of the shrewdest bits of wisdom

this time he probably thinks that the remark
is as true of individu la as of masses, and it is
likely that, it liberty of choice were permitted
him, he would, in view of his present position.

when Miss Laura Ty!ney softly insinuated,

checked Laura off to polka. And that's the
way he generally managed affairs—always
thought of plenty or smart things he. might
have said, when the time for asking is past.
All these mutters was Charley ruminating
over es he stood on the marble paved hail nt
his residence, drawing on a pair of Jouvin'r
gloves, so as to promenade Breadway In th.
height of the fashion, when there came a re
sonant and peremptory ring at the door bell—
a ring which sounded as though somebody
outside had got hold of the bell-knob and
metier. to jerk away steadily until the door wm
opened. Charley obeyed the summons with
Ids glove half on ; he didn't know what might
be the consequence of longer delay.
There stood a lady, angular and vixenish
looking, with a row of little false curls,a share
nose, and a thin, screwed-up mouth. she
held a band-l:ox under either arm, and had n
settlement of baskets, carpet bags and brown
parcels ranged on the door step before her.
Charley eyed her in silent consternation, as
tually not knowing: what to say. The sharp
need damsel, however, was apparently suf
fering under no such embarrassment, for she
Immediately demanded in a shrill voice:
" 1/0 the Warden folks live here r
." Yes, ma'arn," said Charley resignedly.
" Be you Mr. W a lien ?"
" 1 believe that is My name "
"Then I gmess come in," said the lady,
shouldering her parcels, and pushing past our
hero with an Independent manner which there
was no gainsaying. Mr. Warden felt that it
was useless to stem the current of events, so
he opened the d raw ing.room door and invited
her in, as courteously as possible, under the
circumstances.
" Pray take a Brat, ma'am
" Well," said the invader, " I guess I may
as well ; the sooner our little business Is got
over the better. How many of you aro there
in the family ?''
" She can't be the census taker I", inwardly
ejaculated Charley, as he made answer. "My
mother and m SPI f; but. really, I don'tsee—"
" Be you a bachelor ?"
" Yee," said the youth, turning very red ;
Uut—"
" said the lady, "'come from Wes'
Ch.aster enunty. My name is Matildy Ann
Higgins."
"No doubt," said Charley, politely, "qbut
I really don't see in what all this concerns
me I"
" Jest wait and see ; I Leered you won't
married, and hadn't nobody to oversee things
bir you, and your mother was delicate; so I
bought I'd come down and see how I'd suit
you." •
A horrible suspicion began to dawn on Mr
Warden's mind—he butst Into a cold perspi
ration.
"Can it be possible I" he thought, "that this
one of the horrid harpies that Tompkins
alks about, on leap year, to entrap unsuspect

" I'm real handy, I can tell you," went on
he vinegar countenanced damsel, pulling oft
Cr cotton gloves. "I can do moat anything
that ever was heard of—l'in first rate at the
earn of gentlemen's linen, and I can make
capital coffee I"
"Wretch," thought our hero, whose words
were yet vainly struggling for utterance,
"does she think that a man's happiness de—
pends only upon this miserable materialism."
Meanwhile Miss Higgins was chattering
glibly on :
"I can take all the fret and worry, off your
mother's hands, right away. M,ircy I you
hain't no idea how I can fly round and slick
up generally. But it's kind of funny you've
lived to he stiold and 'letter got married yet!"
Charles . Vt ardent was too indignant to speak
—the Wee curls seemed to grow more red anti
xy every insiant, and the greenish gray eyes
more cannibal like. Did she intend to pounce
upon him and carry him off, by main force ?
Was he to be frightened into marrying her in
spite of himself ? This was the year of vi ()-
luau's rights, was it? Well it was lucky it
didn't come but once in four years.
"Well, what do you say, mister? You'd
heft., take me. 1 shan't be in the market
long."
tmarley tried to gasp: "Never l" but only
succeeded in uttering smothered groan. He
was fast becoming powerless under the mug

"But mebbe you don't feel capable to de:

fair Matildy Ann, after a moment's pause.

nothing to say on the subject. Am Ito la

"Wood I" responded the puzzled lady to
whom Mr. Warden's speech, stifled as it was
by wrath, was not perfectly audible. "Oh, 1
don't object to coal tires at all !"
"I decline to entertain any of your prom)

STEPHENS' OPINION OF GRANT
Alexander H. Stephens met Gen. Grant for
the first time wben the interview took place
netween the Southern Commissioners and
President Lincoln, In the Hampton Roads,and
he gives his impression of this first interview
with President Grant in the second voluine
of his "Histoty of the War between the
States." He had no motive for misrepre
senting and if firant then, and If he had, it
would no doubt, from his position and Inter.
ests at that time. have been of an opposite
character. We quote from the second volume
Hof his history, pages 500, 507 and 598. After
virtu the correspondence that passed between
the Southern Commissioners and Gen. Grant,
Mr. Stephens proceeds to give his impression
of him at this first meeting. The Book is
Written in a colloqual style, In order to bring
out the points in more bold relief:
"In pursuance of this letter we were meton
the evening of the same day, at that part of
the lines at which we had, in the meantime,
been notified to appear at 4 o'clock, by an es
con under the conduct of Lieutenant-Colonel
Bnbcock, of General Grant's staff. and were
conveyed by railroad to City Point. ' Upon
reaching that place we were immediately taken
to headquarters of the Commander in Chie(.
Here, for the first time, I met General Grant
himself.
Major Holster. What impression did Re make
upon you on first acquaintance P How did he
compare with General Lee in your estimation?
Mr. Stephens. Why, sir, the idea of draw
leg a comparison between them,did not occur
lo me. 1 should just as soon have thought of
drawing n comparison h"tween Louis Napole
on and Washington. But in answer to your
question, as to what impression he made upon
me, I will say, in the first place, that I was
never so much disappointed in my life, in my
previously formed opin inns, of either the per
sonal appearance or bearings of any une,about
whom I had read and heard so much. The
disappointment, moreover, was; In every re
spect favorable ant agreeable. I was instant
ly struck w ith the great simplicity and ,er.
feet naturalness of his manners, and theentire
absence of everything like affectation, show,
or even the usual military alr or mien of men
in his position. He was plain ly attired, sit
ting in a log cabin, busily writing on a small
table, by a Kerosene lamp. It was night when
we arrived. There was nothing in his ap
clearance or surroundings which indicated his
0111 ial rank. 'there was neither guards or
aids about him. Upon Colonel Babcock's
rapping at his door, the response, "Come in,''
was given by himself, in a tone of voice, and
with a cadence, which I can never forget.
Hie conversation was easy and fluent, with•
out the least effort or restraint. In this noth
ing was so closely 'noticed by me as the point
and terseness with which he expressed what
ever he said He did not seem either to court
or avoid conversation, but whenever he did
speak, what lie said was directly to the point,
and covered the whole matter in a few words
saw before being with him long, that he was
exceedingly quick in perception, and direct in
purpose, with ti vast deal more of brains than
tongue, as ready as that was at his command.
We were here with General Grant two days
as the correspondence referred to shows. He
tarnished us with comfortable quarters on
b reed one of his dispatch boats. The more I
became acquainted with him, the more I be
came thoroughly impriissed with the very ex•
traordinary combination of rare elements of
character which he exhibited. During the
time he met us frequently, and conversed
freely upon various subjects, not much upon
our mission. I saw, however, very clearly.
that ho was vary maximal for the proposed
Conference to tame place, and from all that
was said I inferred—whether correctly or no,
I do not know—that ho was fully apprised of
its proposed object. He was without doubt
exceedingly an sinus for a termination of the
war, and the return of peace and harmony
throughout the country. It was through his
instrumentality mainly that Mr. Lincoln fi
nally consented to meet us at Fortress Monroe
as the c rreipondoi referred to shows.
But it, lurther response to your inquiry. I
will add : that upon tits whole the result of
this acquaintance with General Grant, begin=
ing with our going to and ending with our re
turn from Hampton Roads, was the convic
lion on my mind, that, taken all In all, he was
one of the most remarkable men I ever met
with. and that his career in life, if his days
should be prolonged, was hardly entered upon
and that his character was nut fully develop.
ed ; that he himself was not aware of his own
power, and that if he lived, ho would in the
'more ex , rt a controlling influence In shap
ing the destinies of this country, either f r
cond or for evil. Which it would be, time
and circumstances could alone disclose. Th t
was the opinion of him then formed, and it is
the same that is un if, rmly expressed by nu
ever since. This, Major Heieter, is all I can
now say in answer to your question."
SUMNER'S SERIOUS CHARGES.
Virgil Misguided—Was It Attempted to
Bribe the President T—Fallacy of the
Charges of the Massachusetts Senator.
[Prow the Independent.]
Mr. Sumner's charges against President
Grant in the matter of the gifts made hitn,and'
of the appointment of two of the givers ti
high ofllce, will hardly hold water. In order
.hat a gift may vitiate an appointment, there
must be clear .connection between the two
ir theactions. If an ofce•sesker makes a gift
to a dispenser of office, and he therefore be
stows the office, It is plain bribery and corrup
tion, and cannot 1 0 too severely reprobated or
too condignly punished. But the fact of a
President having accepted a present from t.
friend and admirer Is surely no reason why
he latter should be put under eternal taboo,
and the president be therefore deprived of his
services, If lie thinks they would lie useful to
itlinself and the country. The morality and
legality of the transaction depends entirely on
lie relation to the cause and elect. Now, In
the cast' of filr.Stewart and Mr.Borie, we will
lie bold to say that no two men in the nation
were more surprised than they when they
found they were appointed members of the
Cabinet. The Idea that either of them made
the contributions they did to the sum Intend
ed to make General Grant easy In his circum
ilances for the purpose or with the expeeta
thin that they were to be paid lay official dig
attics is a - Simple absurdity. And the absur
lily he comes a compound ono it It be suggest
ed that General Grant nominated them under
tile Influence of their gilts. The choice mad
or may not be the best that could be made ;
, iut the American people will never hellcat
that it had a taint of corruption, actual or con.
iructiye about it.
And, as to the gifts themselves, we must all
emember with what satisfaction we heard of
their being made at the time. They were but
a very moderate and insufficient acknowledg
went oldie services which Gen. Grant hao
done the country. t-ince It is contrary to the
volley of the country (unwisely we think) to
make any sufficient provision for public ear
vents after their service is over, that.duiy
averts to the private citizens ; and It is highl3
uonorable to them that they contributed so
liberally to officers who had done so much to
4ive them a country worth living in, and to
the families or those whose lives wore shorten
~ ( 1 by their public labors. No loyal man ever
dreamed of their being anything wrong or in
ielleate in the giving or the recelv'ng of the
houses and funds contributed as a slight re.
turn to Gen. Grant,for saving the country al
the time of the transactions themselves. And
d is rather ungracious at this late date to make
use of them to destroy the confidence of hie
f..ilow citizens In him. It will be of no effi ct,
however. The American prople care nothing
atom the matter, or only wish that the pro
vision made for the man who crushed out the
rebellion had been more than It was.
In his zeal to Wince his impeachment of
the President, Mr. Sumner in a degree mie
recollected his Virgil. It was not the fact of
he Greeks making a gift to the Trojans that
.roused the suspicion and remonstrance-
La icoon,but the character of the Greeks them•
selves. Ile did not eay, as Mr. Sumner seems
to have remembered it, .` limeo Danaos bona
ferentes"—l fear the Greeks bringing gins ;
out "7 imeo Lianaos a bona ferontes"—l fear
the Greeks although they bring gibs. There
is as much virtue in that little • conjunction
"et" as Touchstone says there in "if." It
was not the gifts, but the character of the
givers, that made the transaction suspicious.
Should Tweed and Connolly and Sweeney
approach President Grant with,the offer of a
million dollars he might well suspect their se
cret motive and reject their gift, because he
would know that It was meant as a bribe,

DRIFTING APART.
• Broad Is the sea where the vessels are sailing,
Fair are the breezes that waft them along,
Clear Is the sky that above them is smiling,
Brilliant the sun that le lighting them on.
Ever the billows are playing around them,
Knaing their sides as they speed them away
O'er the wide ocean that Iles all before them—
Ocean to cross era they enter the bay.
Sometimes two vessels will sail on together,
Seeming each other to help and to cheer,
Giving assistance in trial and danger,
Passing the shoals and the rocks without fear ;
Then ' as they Journey, a cloud gfthers'o'er them,
Head winds assail them,wide tossing each bark,
Splinter the masts,rend the sallsand the riteging—
Waves roll between them,iind they drift apart.
Oh, there are hearts sailing out on life', ocean,
Banded together by friendship and love,
Giving assistance In trial and sorrow,
Fearing no dangvr as onward they rove.
Then, as they journey, a storm bursts upon them,
Severs the couplings that bind heart to heart,
Lashes the sea till It foams in its madness—
Waves roll between them and they drift apart.
You that have friends that are loving and tender,
Wham you can trust with the hopes of your ;soul,
Lot not the trials of life bear asunder
Those who can aid on the way to the goal ;
Cling to them always In darkness, In sunshine,
And when to Jesus In prayer g. es your heart
Ask that Hie blessing may aver rust on them—
Prey Him to keep you from drifang apart.
AGLORIOUS LETTER, FROli HON-
EST OLD BEN. WADE.
THE RIGHT RING
Suicide of the Democracy—Greeley tho
"Pooreat,Weakest, and Most Vacillating.
Republican In the Country.
The following letter from ex-Senator Wade
was addressed to the Committee of Amino.
meets of the Grant and Wilson ratification
meeting, in Washington, but w s asreceived too
:ate to be read :
"WASIIINGTON, June 24, 1872.—Wm. A.
Cooke, Esq., and Gentlemen 'nf the Commit—
tee of Arangemente : I v ry much regret that
IL shall be ouliged to leave too city before your
ratification meeting takes place, and therefore
must decline your kind and complimentary
levitation.
"It would have afforded me great pleasure
to have been present to testify in person to
the true and intelligent Repubilcans of Wash
ington my unwavering devotion to the princi
ples of the Republican party, and to declare
Low heartily I approve the action of their
great Convention at Philadelphia. We do
not expect the Democratic party or the mere
selfish,disappointed bangers on of the Repub
lican party to approve the action of that Con
vection. It is as natural for that party to hate
General Grant as it Is for all true Republicans
to honor and admire Lim, and why should
not that party hate him above all men—yea,
and fear him, too t Did not the Republican
party under his leadership in the field meet,
overthrow and utterly destroy that party or
ganization with the only principle it ever had
—that te, to lord it over and trample down the
weak and the oppressed, and to extend the
curse of human slavery over the entire Con
tinent, and thus to erect an odious oligarchy
4m the ruins of our free and glorious Repub
lic.
No wonder they hate the man and this par
ty through whom their nefarious hopes were
crushed. The civil Administration .of Gen.
Grant his been as beneficial and suce , msful as
hid mill dry a octal was efficient and decisive.
When was the country more prosperous in
every department than now P Look at the re
duction of the taxes and the public debt at the
same time, and then tell me, grumbler, of
what you have to complain. Waere is the
man since Washington who has rendered
greater or better service to the Republic than
General Grant P Name him if he to to be found
and I will help to make him president. But
if no such man is to be found then I am for
Grant against the world.
As to the second man on tie ticket, Henry
W ikon, he is well known to us all. He is an
old soldier in the cause of Republicanism. Ho
served it faithfully and efficiently from its or
ganization. Ho is the very incarnation of the
genius of America. In no other soil under
heaven could such a plant take root and flour
ish. Born and nurtured in poverty, obscurity
and destitution, experiencing in his own per
son all the hardships and privations incluent
to such a condition, he knows well how to
sympathize with the laboring portlen' - 'of the
people, and to his eternal honor be it said,
t tat in the days of his prosperity he has never
for ono moment forgotten his associates in
poverty, or ceased to labor for their elevation
and prosperity.
"When we reflee; upon what the Republi
can party has accomplished since Its organi
zation, we may well be proud. No other body
of men within the range of history has done
so much to advance the welfare of mankind,
to establish the great principles of justice,
liberty and equality. Yet their mission is oy
no means accomplished. There are many Im
portant governmental questions yet to be set
tled, and no other competent to the task. To
douut the success of such aparty, when pitted
against the broken cohorts of the old slavery
party, lean insult to the intelligence and vir
tue•of the American people.
When a great political party has become so
consciously depraved that they feel there is
so hope at reform, suicide way, perhaps, In
such a case be a virtue, and such si ems to bo
use condition of the Democratic pasty at this
time.
By adopting Mr. Greeley as their standard
bearer they deliberately admit (It they are
honest) that the poorest, weakest, most vacil
lating and uncertain Republican is an improve
meet on anything to be found. In their own
party. But let us stand by our own noble
canoldates as faithfully as they have stood by
tile principles of Republicanism ana our..trt
mnph is certain. B. F. Wens.

The Frankfort Yeoman says : A young
Kentucky physician, who bad been regularly
educated for his profession, was called, to the
nedside of a patient that he had boon attending
with his care fur some time, but who obstinate
ly grow worse and worse, until now the end
so med vary near. "Doctor," said the
man, "I am dying—l am certain I am dying,
and I believe you have killed me." The doe
tor seemed to think very earnestly for a min
ute or two, acd then quite gravely and seri
ously replied :
"Yes, I see that you are dying; and, on re
flection, I believe that you are right—l believe
vim I have killed you; but, I have taken my
oath that, if God will forgive me for having
unintentionally murdered you, I will never
murder another—l will never give another
dose of physic professionally so long as Hive."
And he kept his oath ;he at mice quit medi
cine entirely, turned his attention to the study
of the law, obtained license in due course arid,
after a few years' successful practice, tit. Ame
