A SPECIMEN OF r1ExDACIrY.


The Journal, and the Abolition press gene
rally, tried hard to make little party capital out
of the accident which happened to the train which
conveyed Gen. GRANT from Indianapolis to Gin
cinnati. The Journal of Saturday thus allude.
to IN. affair:
LAS Democrats are supposed to have more OF
less sympathy with rebels, and as that part o.
Indiana where this dIabolicsl attempt to murder
the Lieutenant General OF the United States
armies. Is settled largely by members Of that
party, it Is due TO themselves that no effort
should be wanting 20 fully investigate the matter
and II possible discover the guilty scoIndrel
We have doubt Il was member of some
Of the recent reasonable organizations which
hoursbed somewhat extensively for time du-
ring the year 1863"
Here it lie charged that Democrats, not cop
perheads," or sympathizers," had made a
diabolical attempt to murder General GRANT
The Cincinnati Commercial. of the same date
thus squeches out the dirty SANDER. IL says:
The REPORTED ArrKMrr TO AssAssINArE
GENERAL GRASr.-We dispatched a special re-
porter to Gulford Station, on the indianapolis
and Cincinnati Railroad, the scene of the acct
den, 10 the special train. upon which General
Grant was passenger and the detail of the in
formation he was able to gather will DE found
elsewhere. The sum of it is, that It is exceed
ingly improbable that any design upon the life OF
General Grant was entertained by any person in
the State Of Indiana 1t was not known in the
neighborhood of Guilford Station that General
Grant would pass through that night; and the
switch was one that was unattended and not in
good order. We have much satisfaction In thus
clearing up this matter, and the whole country
will rejoice TO learn that instead Of there being
deliberate effort to murder the Lieutenant Gene
raj he WAS merely subjected to one of the risks 10
which travellers by railway are accustomed"
When the matter is Thoroughly Investigated il
turns out that the attempt to assassinate Gene
raj GRANT. was only lone of the risks 10 which
travellers by railway are accustomsd"-and "that
1t is exceedingly impossible that any design upon
the life OF General GRANT was entertained by
any person in the State of Iudiana" The Com
mercial seems to have far more regard for the
reputation OF Indiana than the Journal. and does
not seek TO take advantage Of an accident to ex
hibit its partisan malice or bring disgrace upon
State. Another Abolition paper alludes to the
affair IN connection with al accident which &C.
