various taloats and virtues of his son-in law.
Mr.. Fremont, than whom no person encrosscl
more OF his pride or thoughts, he was nj
ways accustomed to conclude with the re-
mark that the young hero was destined some
day to be the President Of this country that
he had jus, the qualities for great Prcsi-
dent, and could not fail Of reaching the
emlhenee for which they so peculiarly fitted
him.
These predictions, when made. were re-
sarded by iaany merely as pardonablc ebulli-
uons OF pasernal pride, and nothing more
but the events of the last week. and the en-
thusiastic echoes which the nomination of
Mr.. Fremoat, ut Philadelphia and in this

Union, justify the belief, as well IA the hone.

=" Bully Brooks AND THE LADIEs.-It is
said that the advice OF Stevens and Cobb. of
Ga, and fears for his personal safety, pre-
vented Brooks from attending the Border
Rufian Democratic Convention lately held in
New York City. Ills cowardly brutality has
made him oiious even in Washington. The
Washington correspondent Of the Boston
Telegraph narrates the following incident,
which shows the estimation in which he il
held
"a few days ago he stepped into an omni-
bus on Pennsylvania Avenue, in which were
four ladies. As soon as the ladies ascer-
taiaed whe he WAS, eAes stopped the carriage
and got out. and waited on the sidewalk for
the next omnibus, declaring that they
would not ride in the same carriage with the
ruflian. Gu, of his own particular circle,
even tradesmen refuse to recognize him.''
