;Illy Grant 11)1t3Rtes flu Jews
The question is often asked, " What has
Gen. Grant against the Jews ?" or " Why
did he issue that notorious prolate:akin driv
ing Jews and otior vagabonds outside
his encampment ?" And, not having seen
published any satisfactory answer, I will
give you what I swipes(' io be the real cause
of his dislike of the Jews. During the
winter of 149 and '6O, while Grant was
living at Galena, he took it into his head to
commence business on his own hook ; and
thinking there was a speculation in buying
dressed bogs and shipping diem to Chica
go, ho moo down to the town of Bellevue,
lying some twelve miles southwest on the
west bankof the Mississippi, for the purpose
of buying of farmers as they canto in town
with their pork, and having it hauled to
Galena. and then shipped on the railroad to
Chicago, or in any other way disposed of so
as to make a profit, which was a very hon
orable, and, if managed understandingly,
could have been made a profitable business.
There lived at that time, in Bellevue, a
man by the name of Roesuthal, who was a
Jew, and who was in the pork trade, and,
of course, would be glad to keep the trade
in his own bands; so he determined, if
possible, not to give Grant much of a chance,
and the first two or three loads of pork
were bid up fir beyond its real value, and
finally sold to Grant.. By this time Rosen
thal discovered that Grant knew no differ
ence between the price of light and heavy
hogs, when, in reality, there is n difference
of at least one dollar per hundred—heavy
hogs being worth one dollar the most—the
hogs already pun:based by Grant being light,
and he having paid the full price for heavy
hogs. So Rosenthal goes to his ware-house;
selects out all his light hogs, enough to load
two or three wagons; gets some farmers
who had wood racks on their wagons to load
on the hogs, drive out of town by another
street, and erotic in on the main road to the
corner whore they were buying. Rosenthal
meets them there by another street, and
commenced bidding against Grant, and of
ter bidding the pork up to the full value of
heavy pork, it was sold to Grant. But, the
joke, or "sell," being to good to keep, it
was not half an hour before every body near
ly was splitting with laughter to see how
the Jew had sold the Galena pork buyer ;
which so disgusted G rant that he went home
that night, and was never seen in Bellevue
after. And that transaction so embittered
him against the old tribes of' Israel that I
doubt now whether he could now bo recon
ciled. And this is undoubtedly the whole
cause of the expulsion of Jews from his
co p. Chicago Tim es.

What We Want.
AN the time approaches for the assembling
of the national Democratic Convention and
the adoption of a platform, it becomes a
question of great importance as to what the
work of the Convention should be. There
are so many policy and expediency men--so
many timid, over-ettutious men—that it is
barely poo.ible they may exert a influence on
the action of th e Convention and fail to iu►-
prove the opportunity thus afforded them
of doing that which is of the utmost ituper•
tame.
It has been the mistaken policy of a largo
portion of the Ihnuocraey to stand on the
defensive for the past few years--to pa
tiently receive the assaults of the Radicals
without treating them to the same kind of
warfare in return. It is now limo to take
the aggressive," and literally and actually
carry the war into Africa." Now, when
corruption and extravagance are the rule—
when ladieal taxation is oppressive and in
creasing—when civil power is going down
before military gag-law and the force of bay
onets---when a mob or ignorant negroes
terrorize over the Capitol of the country,
and other villmien; practices are in full
blast---now, Le rep .at, is the time to attack
boldly the work of the enemy, and waste
HO time in so doing.
We want a pure, unsullied Democrat
one who combines all the necessary elements
to till the high position --for our candidate
for the Presidency.
We want a plain, outimoken platform--
ono that will appeal to the confidence and
g o od judgement or the people.
We have a bold, unscrupulous enemy to
meet, and we must have correct principles
inscribed upon our banners. with brave Olen
to lead our l'ort . e:A. Wu must not assume
negative or mere opposition attitude in any
point. s4ygecujoa is the word. For sev en
terrible years we 'lure btao , l on the 41efeits

enemy the advantage, and it is not the way
to sut-ed.

The negroes in the tielyro Republic of
Hayti are never at re-t. Scone new Revo
lution of a bloody character is always the or
der of the day. The latest news from that
model Miceli governmeat is interesting.—
The war between &hive and the Cacos is
still raging. The Cayes made an assault up
on the chief city of the Island on the Dnn
ing of the ad inst. and were repulsed with
heavy loss. All of the prisoners captured
were butchered by the troops in the most
expeditious' and approved negro fashion.
Seiner° timid endeavored to effect a compro
mise with the southern revolutionists upon
the condition that they should unite with
him in repelling the Cacos. The proposi
tion was indignantly rejected, and the happy
and highly civilized negro republicans were
still vigorously at work slaughtering each
other at the last accounts.
This specimen of African civilization and
capacity for government must commend it
self strongly to Gen. Grant and the support
ers of the infamous Chicalgo platform, which
pledges the Republican party to the estab
lishment and perpetuation of negro supre
macy in ten States of the Union.
THE blirrunr. op IlAcy.s.—Agassiz, in
his lately published work on Brazil, has the
following on the mixture of races :
"Let any uric who doubts the evil of this
mixture of races, and is inclined, from a mis
taken philanthropy, to break down the bar
riers ktween them, come to Brazil. Ile
cannot deny the deterioration consequent
upon an amalgamation of races snore wide
spread than in any other country in the
world, and which is rapidly effacing the best
qualities of the white man, the negro and
the Indian, leaving a mongrel nondescript
type, deti,:iont in physical and mental energy.
At a time when the new social status of
the negro is a subject of vital importance
in our statesmanship, we should profit by
the experience of a country whore though
slavery exists, there is far more liberty. to
wards the free negro than he has ever en
joyed in the United states. Lot us learn
the double lesson, open all the advantages
of education to the negro, and give him
every chance of success which culture gives
to the man who knows how to use it, but
respect the laws of nature, and lot all our
dealings with the black man tend to preserve
as far as possible, the distinctness of his na
tional elinructer6tics, and the integrity of
our own."
The Co,Whip of Blood ad the

[From tbo National Intolligencer.)
The pretended victory of the Radical ne
gro party is hardly forty-eight hours old,
and we have to record in our local columns
brutal murders, felonies, house breakings by
an infuriated mob, murderous assaults with
out provocation upon unefTentling citizens,
and outrages innumerable. They are only
the tithe of what has been reported to us,
and we include only those which have been
properly vouched for by rot bible wine ,
If we were to publish the list, reported oth
erwise, whole columns might be filled with
the accounts of these outrages. But these
wiil suttee to show what is to be expected
from "I adieal rule"—law breaking, murder
rapine, robbery, and violence without stint
and without punishment. In addition to
the death of one of the victims of the ne
gro riot of Friday night last, returning from
a Radical meeting at the Bity flail, when a
shoe store was sacked merely for plunder,
and its occupants beaten so severely that one
of them has since died, we find recorded the
murder by negroes, on Tuesday night, after
their feast of inflammatory spNehes from
Forney, Bowen and Company, of one poor
victim of their insane wrath upon the most
public avenue of the city ; the severe wound
ing and beating of several others; the wan
ton sacking of drug stores, and the reported
murder of three other unogontiing white
men in various parts of the city. The re:bi
dets:es of conservative private citizens and
Conservative Judges of the el va' were
visited with violence by this mob of irre
sponsible negroes, intoxicated with the
liquor from the stores they bad sacked, and
infuriated by the incendiary speeches made
to them by white men, who dare not par
ticipate in the "playful vagaries" of their
ignorant dupes, and executors of the in
udiatisto they had inculcated. 1% bite
ladies who dared to show themselves at
their windows were subjected to the foulest
abuse, and even the streetcars were assailed
with showers of stows and mis lies. The
negroes were armed with eittlel, razors,
knives and pistols, fuel with them marched
whole cnm mules arm, l with muskets.

rest in the family ; but it is all too brief—
trancient as the outline of a silvery vapor
that floats on the summer sky—for the
rush and turmoil of the troubling world
come back to-morrow. Let not that thought
mar the gentle joy of this sweet day ; re
member, father, there is a "home" whose
peace is never interrupted, whose joy is nev
er broken, whose repose treads on tomor
row, and that a part of the privileges and
happiness of to-day is to secure a place iu
that family whose circle is united forever
more, in our father's home on high.
A LtrrLE DtaLouus.—Genoral Grant's
supporters are fond of quoting certain of his
sayings ; such As " unconditional surrender"
" movo on your works," " fight it out on
this lino all summer," etc., and of apply
ing them to the present political campaign.
Well, now, let us make the application to
the first battle of the canvass, and put it in
the form of a dialogue
Grant to Ike Democracy of Oregon :
"Unconditional surrender, or I will move on
your works."
Democracy of Oregon to Grant :—"Movo
and bo hanged to you."
General Grant "moved" on the Demo
cratic works, and the Democratic works
moved on him, and the first shook sent him
reeling and sprawling and powerless to the
earth.
And ha can fight it out on that lino all
summor—if he likes that line,

Abyssinian Slave Beauties.
On my return to camp, I visited the es
tablishments of the various slave merchants.
These were aranged under large tents form
ed of matting, and contained many young
girls of extreme beauty, ranging from nine
to seventeen years of age. These lovly cap
tives, of a rich brown tint, with delicately
formed features, and eyes like those of the
gazelle, were natives of the Galla, on the
borders of Abyssinia, from which country
they were brought by the Abyssinian trad-
ers, to be sold fir the Turkish harems. Al
though beautiful, these girls are useless for
hard labor, they quickly fade away and die
unless kindly treated. They are the Ve
ntures of that country, and not only arc
their faces and figures perfection, but they
become extremly attached to those who
show them kindness, and they make good
and faithful wives. There is something
lo
culiarly captivating in the natural grace and
softness of these young beauties, whose
hearts quickly respond to those warmer feel
ings of love that are seldom known among
the sterner and coarser tribes. Their forms
are peculiarly elegant and graceful, the
hands and feet are exquisitely delicate, the
nose is generally slightly aquiline, the nos
trils large and finely shaped ; the hair is
black and glossy reaching to about the mid
dle of the back, but rather coarse in texture.
These girls, although natives of Gala, in
varibly call themselves Abyssinians, and arc
generally known under that denomination.
They arc exceedingly proud and high spirit
ed, and remarkably quick at learning. At
Kerte= several of the Europeans of high
standing have married these charming ladies
who have invariably rewarded their hus
bands by great affection and devotion. The
price of one of those beauties of nature at
Gallabat was from $2O to s4o.—Sit Sam

AN exchange says that a hen has the ca
pacity of laying six hundred eggs, and no
more, Usually they lay a few the first year;
from three hundred and twenty to auto
hundred and seventy in the next three
years ; and the rest from the fifth to the 9th
year inclusive. The true economy, there•
fore, is not to keep hens after the fourth
year.
NUMB ER Si
Influence of BMWS.
A smile is, indeed, a thing of beauty..
Whether living on the lips of gladsome
youth, or flickering on the dying features of
worn out age, it holds its beauty still.—
Whether making hardiness yet more win
some, or rendering ugliness less repulsive
than its wont, a smile yet hold its nature—
yet it is beautiful. Magic lurks therein,
and sways the human heart as words never
can—quickens it quiet pulse, or soothes and
calms the hurried throb as they may need.
And beneath the encouraging influence of
one sweet, upholding smile, the heart itself
may change its mood—may yield its mad
intent, if not east out forever its evil prompt.
ings and its dark propensities. And so may
the smiles of derision madden beyond what
the utmost words can do, even as the smile
of praise will spur humanity to great, noble
deeds beyond the 'approach of all other
promptings. Its silent power sinks in the
heart, and heals some new made thrust, as
falls the mysterious dew from heaven. And
the smile of love ! It beams in the mother's
eyes as she sees beauty in her infant's lime,
and a silent laugh of unknown joy frem her
darling babe. It plays wit stronger and
more thrilling magic on the maiden's lovely
countenance, as her heart's idol meets her
farseeing eye, and draws near to lot her looks
of love loose none of its precious value in
needless distance between them. And with
deeper, purer joy, it comes to the wife's
glad free when her husband's fond gam tells
how much is gained shier, he first wiled her
wife. Holy, beautiful indeed, is the smile
of fathomless and perfect love. Too seldom
indeed, does it have birth—toe often does
it soon leave life's pathway, even if fairly
born and dearly welcomed there.
THE NEW TAX BILL —The Jourwt/ of
Commart is showing the utter incapacity
of the Rump Congress to legislate intelli
gently even on questions of revenue. The
new tax bill it says, ism pe,rfect marvel of in
tricate verbosity, and Icsoei sight entirely of
the principles upon which such an act
should be founded.
`'Simplicity in this matter isnot only true
economy, but the secret of success in rail•
ing a large revenue. The provisions should
be plain, concise, and apply to a limited
number of subjects. There should be no
exceptions; but this does not imply that,
everything should be taxed. It does imply,
however, that everything of the clam indi
cated should be included in its tertto.
"If sales are to be taxed, all sales should
be subject to a law. ir manufactures are
subject to a levy, no manufacturer should
escape. The interest whie!► is left to sear,
where legislation is controlled by politicians
and concessions arc made to popular clamor,
is certain to be the one least worthy of suech
a fate. As to the bill now Wine Congress,
we can hardly suppose it possible that it,
can pass both houses at this session, but
the members of those august bodies are
more "uncertain" than the average of white
men who first earned the title from the In
dians, and it is safer to predict the weather
than the result of their attempts to legis-
late for the country."
THE WHOLESALE CHEAT.—In seven out
of the thirty-one districts in South Carolina
which were said to have given ten thousand
majority for the bogus constitution, the
Democratic elections foot up fourteen thous
and. This singular change excited much
comment, and is variously ascribed to the
ability of whites to controle the negro vote,
growth of black conservatism, and so forth
and so on, all of which, in our poor opinion
is so much bosh. The scret is that these
ocrunty elections Congress bad nothing par
tieualr at stake, and the returns were not,
therefore, manipulated to suit. With car
pet-bag candidates to act as judges of election,
and servile tools at headquarters, who would
report that two and two made an hundred if
so ordered from Washington, the very
thought of an election in any of the South•
ern States is a farce, and it is our firm be
lief, for which we have good reason, them
has not been from the beginning to the end
of this reconstruction business one single
fair count of the ballots.

The predominating influence in the Dem

of the New York Legislature in adopting
resolutions in favor of the Pendleton doc

dleton has yet made, and it looks now as

A If:Yr.—At the Republican Convention
in Chicago, at Wade's headquarters whiskey
was free, and Wade's managers were nearly
all drunk. At the Colfax headquarters lion
John Defrees, of Indians, was manager--
not a drop of liquor was allowed there—th.:
men were all sober—and by clear heads 6.1
cured the nomination of Colfax, even against
the advantage Wade bad at the start.
