The Herald on Fremon. following

favor of foreign policy.

vocate his election.
g. That he will cheat the Republicans if

What " Daniel come to Judgment"
Reasons why he should not be President
l. He is a renegade Democrat and religion
list, and the man who is false to his principles
and religion should not be trusted.
2. He has been a sponge on the General
Government all his life through the abetting
of his fsther-in-law
otis fine thing to have for father-in.law
magnificent three tailed bashaw."
His transactions In the public employ
| render him liable to serious suspicious of un-
fair dealing.

scrupulous spoilsmen in the country, among
whom is the Herald concern.
5. He has no experience in administrative
| affairs, except such as he derived from furn-
ishing beef to Indians and others, solteh Mev
neUer got.
6. Because he is a sectional candidate.

A Gross Misrepresentation The Rcpub
lican party newspapers are grossly misrepre-
senting the particulars of tho recent affray
between Messsrs. Granger of New York, and
Mr.. McMullin of Virginia As a matter 0,
course, they throw all tho blame for its occur
renee on the latter. In so doing they falsify
| the truth most shamefulIy
Mr.. Granger commenced the misunderstan nd
ing by using towards Mr.. McMullin who'll,
uncalled for and grossly abusive language, anC
was told repeatedly by the latter to desist
and reminded that his greater age precludeC
Mr.. McMulin from Furnishing the application
of such epithcts towards him personally, al
Mr.. G. was using. Whereupon the latte,
secuted the idea that he sought immuu ity fol
his language and bearing behind the shield OF
his age, and was again told and motioned t.
cease his unwarranted vituperation and gc
away Whereupon he assaulted Mr. McMu
lin, and was badly pommeled for his want o.
common sense and his ill manners
The Extra Session.-How long will it con
tinue How long will it continue How lope
will it continue? greets US at every turn
Who can answer? Surely we cannot. Three
hours will suffice to enable the House to re-
pair the injury done to the public interest BY
the faetious conduct Of the Republican party
minority ON the day before yesterday. Yet
the extra session may last until the first Mon
day II December next. 1t certainly will las
until tho army appropriation bill shall have
passed, stripped Unconstitutional legislation
for political effect. Believing that consid
cradle majority of the House are now satisfied
OF the folly OF such legislation as the Repub.
licans proposed, in connection with general
appropriation bill, We anticipate that the ex.
ira session can hardly last over three DAYS; il
more than one, which is questionable.
Another Effect Of ths Loss of the Bill
1t seems to be understood around US that one
effect of the loss of the army appropriation
bill-unless at the extra session the damage
so far done BIO repaired-will be to cause, in
twenty days, the discharge Of all mechanics
employed in United States manufacturing
arsenals and armorics. By that time the bal
ances of various appropriations to pay 70,
their labor will be exhausted.
AChange Of Tactics.-It appears that Sen.
ator Sumner is about to take the stump in order
to =" shrek for freedom" The regular session
