but it would seem to be anybOdy's business

ducing him to his countrymen under his true

Let me add that he is q stalwart, good
hearted, strOng-handed boy Of pioneer stock;
and that he has gone back to his fathers

amazoo county, Michigan, hung up his sabre,
which has shone on many battle-felds and
clanked along many hundred miles Of weary
march, and betaken himself to the plow and

The Virginia Candidates.

A political meeting was held in Winches-

the candidates for Congress from that dis
trct made speeches. One of these was Mr.
JAMES II. Cox, of Chesterfield, whose re-
marks are reported as follows:
lie did not seek Office, and thanked God
that he had no political aspirations on earth
1t was his misfortune to have been a member
of the Convention. He had stood out against
secession as long as he could stand-until he
was instructed by his constituents to vote for
it. He did not believe II would disqualify
him-thought that he might take the test
oath. Mr.. Cox proceeded to say: But, gen.
tlemen, did sympathize with the cause.

boys to the war, and told them to fight, and,
If necessary, to die for the country, and this

taking the oath, then cannot nor will not
take it. Gentlemen, have a Southern
heart, and would starve before would say
that did not sympathize with the Southern
cause in the late struggle.

A dashing young woman named Nellie
Otis, alias Curtis, was arrested in Boston for
the larceny of Sc, 400 in money and Govern
ment bonds, from man in New York, on
Friday night last The woman arrived in
Boston on Saturday, and created cOnsidera-
BILE excitement among the sporting fraternity,
exhibiting $4,000 at time, visiting the
races, and paying for thirty.two bottles of
wine, and other liquors. She placed 81, 900
in the hands Of young man to keep for her,
and upon refusing to return 50, 700 of it, she
made complaint at the police office.
The man was found, and So, 500 returned

York then made his appearance, and rccov-
cred less than one half of the So, 400, but re-
fused to prosecute the woman.

The Hon. WILLIAM BAYLIEs, Of West
Bridgewater, died Wednesday morning, at tho
residence Of Mrs. Frances Baylies, in Taunton,
Mass. He was born in Dighton, September ID,
l776; graduated at Brown University, in l7s5,
and after completing his law studies with Judge
Padelford, commenced practice at West Bridge
water in 1899. In 1906. he was elected to Con-
gress, but his seat was given to contestant,
Charles Turner. The speech of Mr.. Bayles, In
advocacy of his claim, was a brilliant effort,
which attracted the attention and won the ap-
plause Of John Randolph. In 1878 he was again
chosen Representative to Congress and served
for two terms, entering upon his Congressional
career with Daniel Webster. He again served In
Congress duriug tho sessions Of lSSs-34; after
which he retired from political life.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. 80, 1855.
DRIVING BUSINESS NoRTHwARD.

The following facts are somewhat signif-
cant A wealthy merchant of Baltimore
whose trade before the war was almost en-
tirely with the South, and who was a credi.
tor to Southern merchants to the amount of
four hundred thousand dollars when the re-
bellion broke out. is about to embark again
in the Southern trade and, in order to do so
proftably, has removed his business to New
York. He has just completed a handsome
mansion in Baltimore, where his family in.
tend to remain. An inquiry into the reason
why this gentleman leaves his luxurious
home, to visit it only when his business in n
distant city will allow, elected some facts
which may interest those who are singing
peans to the amiability of the reconstructed
insurgents.
1t appears that the Southerners have de.
termined to punish Baltimore for the loyalty
of her Union citizens, by withdrawing their
trade from that city and transferring it to
New York, where the atmosphere is more
congenial to the amnestied than that Of the
Monumental city. The SOutherners aver
that the returned rebels have been badly
treated by Baltimoreans, and they are bound
to revenge them by spending their money
somewhere else. Consequently the Southern
trade of Baltimore has been transferred to
the Empire city, and the Baltimore mer.
chants who have valuable Southern business
connections are following it there.
This docs not look much like the spirit OF
Cancellation. 1t is, rather, an extremely
vindictive spirit, and one which shows a
deep-rooted hostility to Union men. 1t
shows, too, that the southerners are but men
after all, and not angels, as some of the press
are attempting, inferentially, to prove. 1t
is not in human nature for conquered insur-
gents, while smarting under the wounds Of
the conflict, to love those who have aided in
their subjugation, and consequently they
should be dealt with carefully until their
passions have had time to cool

Negro Troops-what Gen. Grant Say.

Negro Troops-whht Gen. Grant Says.
The Springfield Republican,, a sort of
Bunsby among New England country news
papers, undertakes to settle the value of ne
gro troops as follows:
THE truth about the matter is, that on
several occasions the negro troops fought
we'll. Taken together, they were not equal
to the same number Of white troops, and no
reasonable man ever supposed they could
be-"
Would the Republican, perhaps consider
Gen. Grant n reasonable man, " his opinion
being quite different on this point Gen.
Grant said of the negro troops, "For guard
duty and picket duty, on the march and in
an assault, ! consider tho negro troops sur
passed BY no soldiers in tie porLH, and
eqmaAed By very Jeic."
"But," queried listener, "does not that
include all you can say of soldier"
'ANearly, but not quite oil, " responded the
Lieutenant General; "What remains is the
ability to endure the steady pounding of
protracted campaign ~ "Yes,n said another
questioner, "but if the negroes are good for
everything else, why not for that t' 81
don't say they are not, rejoined General
Grant; 81 only say they have not been
tried
The parties to that conversation were Gen.
Grant, Edwin NJ. Stanton, and Henry Ward
Beecher, and we had it from the lips of the
latter. We don't think the negro troops are
in need of n certificate, even from General
Grant, but we print the foregoing for the
benefit of such papers as like to be sure Of 0
respectable Endorsement before they make W
their opinions.-N. Y. Tribune.

Attempt to XIII Lieutenant General
Grant-Assassins not All Hung
special Train Thrown from the
Track.
Lieutenant General Grant, in order 70
crafty the wishes of the people Of Indiana,
visited Indianapolis on Tuesday, where he
was received with that enthusiasm which has
greeted him everywhere on his round Of tray
els through the United States. He was con-
yeyed safely to the capital Of Indiana by
special train on the Indianapolis and Cincina
natl Railroad.
Desiring to return to this city Tuesday
night, q special train, cons sting Of loco
motive, tender, and passenger coach, was
placed ut his disposal. This started from
Indianapolis late in the evening, and no mis-
hap was experienced until II reached Gut
ford, about ten miles west Of Lawrencebulg
at O'Clock, q. m. At this point, just before
reaching the bridge, the switch had been
partially displaced The engine, tende,
ever, kept the track, but the hind truck Of
the latter was thrown of, and was dragged
over the cross-ties and across the bridge be.
fore the train could be checked. There
being heavy curve at this place, the engi-
neer had fortunately checked the speed Of
the train, and It was moving slowly at tho
time of the occurrence, so that the displaced
car remained on the bed of the road. The
General and party Eero then transferred to
the engine and brought safely to Lawrence
burg, where another car was provided.
The President Of the road, II. G. Lord,
Esq, on hearing Of the occurrence, immedi.
ateiy proceeded to Guilford to investigate the
matter. 1t was found that some Infamous
scoundrel rs wicked as Booth, but with less
courage, had broken the lock from the switch
and turned the latter with view Of throw
ing the train from the track. Fortunately,
the work was bunglingly done, and to this
fact the escape of the train from being
smashed is due, the locomotive and tender
having, as described, kept the track, and
thus prevented the car containing the Gen
eral from going over,
1t was narrow escape, and while the pub.
lie will rejoice that this dastardly attempt on
the life Of the Lieutenant General failed,
they will regret that there is little probabil.
ity of finding the scoundrel who would plunge
the nation into mourning a second time for
another Of its great and valued men. The
occurrence took place as stated about one
o'clock yesterday morning.
1t was not far from this place, on the same
road, that train containing Gov. Morton
was thrown from tho track some time ago.
There are, doubtless, sneaking rebels, of the
meanest Northern type, in that part of the
country and now, since n second attempt has
been made to take the life of q man who has
been a chief instrument in suppressing the
rebellion, vigorous measures should be taken
to apprehend the author of the crime.-Cin

The Massachusetts Democracy and the

approve Of any movement having for its aim
their elevation, comfort, and well-being,

pathiEe with any measure by which the true
interests Of the employer and the employed
can be promoted and secured.

Democrats that they cordially sympathize

WORK FOR GOVERNOR ANDREW,

We learn that Governor ANDREW, Of Mas.
saohusetts, is To be the head Of powerful
Southern Emigration Aid Society, organised
somewhat upon the plan Of the company
which defeated the iniquitous intentions of
the oligarchy and brought good out Of evil,
by making Kansas free State In spite Of
the Nebraska bill and its authors. We are
glad to hear this. As we have often had oc-
oasion to say, scarcely beginning has yet
besn made in developing the resources Of the
Southern States, and, now that slavery Is re-
moved, they offer the most tempting prizes
of any section Of the country. In the contest
with arms the civilization Of the Puritan
Commonwealth has come out victorious. It
remains now that her ideas shall be promul-
gated by peaceful emigrant missionaries.
For the head Of this system of propagand-
ism no better selection could be made than
that Of Gov. ANDREW. Thoroughly imbued
with New England spirit, pluck, and energy,
his influence, and that Of the glorious old
Commonwealth Of which he Is eminently
representative man, will, by this means, be
made power in the land which win tell with
immeasurable force in the work Of regenera-
tion upon which the American people are
now entering. And for Gov. ANDREW we
know no more important duty to which he
could be called.
