GEN. GRANT ON NEGRO SUFFRAGE. =
General Grant, both from his position as
head of the army and from the prestige he
has won, is likely TO become as important to
our Government for the remainder of his
life as the Duke Of Wellington was to the
British Government in the latter half of his
public career. His views, therefore, will
always be of interest. In this connection,
we give the following from the Chicago TFi;--
bne:
General Grant in conversation with his
friends, says that it is too soon to declare
that the loyal blacks in the South shall not
be allowed to vote. Aside from the abstract
right and the legal problem of what authori-
ty can confer or withhold the franchise
whether it be Congress or the States-the
question may assume the shape of politi-
cal necessity The Government and people
may have to choose between keeping a
standing army ofl00, 900 men st an expense
of 500, 900, 900 year to the tax payers, to
support the white minority in the South
against the white Rebel majority, or OF
enfranchising the blacks and thereby enabling
them to support the white loyalists. Gen
eral Grant foresees that the suffrage ques-
ton may take this form.

basis of public credit" The greatest
burden Ct local taxation arises from our var
deb,s. These amount 10 the aggregate Of
state, town, county and city bonds in this
state, propably to over 100000 600.
Tie amount Of capital invested, and to be
invested in national securities wiz be be-
tween three and four thousand millions
Of dollars, al exempt from taxation. The
whole taxation to pay principal and inter
est of local deb,s cheated solely for the pa
tioual government is therefore thrown
upon the other property Of the state. The
injustice Of this IS gross and pa pahle. It
can be and should be remedied, and their
are modes in which il may be done With
out the slightest breach Of public faith
Congress has power to assume these war
debts as part Of the debt OF the nation, and
thus relieve the localities. 1t has also full
power to tax the income from the govern
ment bonds to any extent that It may
deem necessary and proper.

Forty Person Poisoned by Adulterated
Cal0mel.

LFrom the St. Louis Republican, Oct. IL.
We heard Of an awful tragedy that
transpired last week in the town OF SiIlo
Randolph county, Ill. 1t appears that
two physicians, Dra. Campbell aud Min
ner, OF that place, recently sent to the
drug store Of 4. \. Anderson. in Chester,
for q quantity Of calomeI. In one dag
the medicine was administered to 10 pa
tents, when it was discovered that with
the caIomei there was mixed corrosive
subima.e, a violent poison.
All Of the patients were taken with
alarming symptoms, and in cases Of seven
0! them the result had proved fatal at the
date Of our adyices, and it was feared
that others would not survive Among
those whose death ensued were q family
named Me.linger, consisting ofman. wife,
sud child. 4 sister of DR.. Campbell,
an intelligent and intereres:ing young
lady died III few hours after having TAX
en- the dose prescribed by her brother
The calomel containing the poison was
put up in the ordinary way and had no,
been tempered with atel leaving the store
of a wholesale druggist IL ST. Louis, by
whom it WAS imported from England
The presence OF corrosive Subiimate was
probably due to culpable carelessness
rather than design, at the laboratory OF The
manufacturer. If this hypothesis is cor
rect, it is terrifying to lhiDk Of the possible
consequences in other parts Of the country

The Douglas Monument.
From the Chicago I


For more than four years the grave of
Stephen A, Douglas has been left without
so much az simple tablet to tell the pill
grim the name of him who rests beneath.
On spot near the margin Of the lake,
little beg ond Camp Douglas, lies all that
is mortal OF the great statesman and
orator, Illinois own son, whose memory
all Americans delight to honor, 1t is
enclosed by plain wooded palisading,
which is slowly falling into decay, OF dis
appearing peace-meaI as relics to remind
strangers OF their visit 10 the spot. For
nearly four years a number Of ladies and
gentlemen of Illinois, the intimate personal
friends Of Douglas, have been engaged in
raising funds for a suitable monument to
be erected over his resting place; and
/ about year ago a beautiful design pre-
! pared by Mr.. l.. w. NoIk, the scui ptor
was adopted by the board Of trustees
The design has been widely circulated,
and has been approved by the public, but
the first stone OF the monument has never
been laid. Perhaps the responsibility Of
! this deiav rests not so much upon the
trustees, as upon The excited state Of the
country. The var broke out soon al. q
the movement was originated, and the
public had other important mPtters 70
occupy their attention. But now that lie
struggle Is over the people have once
more begun 70 turn their attention 10 the
subject. The Dougla: mouumout has not
