The Democracy came with all kinds
of special pleas this fall, the principal
one being, the support Of the Admins

in thei, light. They begged for votes
in the most imp'oring manner; candi.

fully identified with the Democratic
party, the late election in this county
shows very plainly IN what kind Of esti
nation it is held by our people 426
for and 1o12 against 6l6 Republican
majority. This county never gave such
a maiori'. before, and never one SO
great in proportion to the vote cast.
TIE second important fact eluui1ated
is that onr county has greatly increased
in population within the pas. year. The
vote is but little greater than last year
bat It is well known that a great many
voters did not attend the polls, and this
assures us that we have had vety re-
spectacle increase in our population
within the past year.

media'ely and accept only such terms
as Grant gave to Lee and his army.
This Independent act Of his, which was
really a blunder shows one Of two
things, and these are that he either had
an undue sympathy tor the rebels and
intended to be lenient with them when
i. was discretionary with him to be so,
or that when left to his own intellectual!
resources 10 map out his course which
had not been previously planned, he
was incompetent for the exigency. But
he is undoubtedly bold and hazardous
man ready to execute fearlessly what.
ever may be planned for him. And per.
haps it is for this trait Of his character
that the President has selected him for
his Secretary of War. Should the Pre-
sident ever sec fit to arrest or seize Con
gress or epdeavor to enforce any Ct his
strange dogmas by the army, it is such
a spirit that he wants 10 control it un
der his direction. And who knows but
this may be the secret motive Of this
appointment We hope not, but some.
times think it may be President John.
son has said that he easily might have
made himself Dictator-although VIC
doubt it, yet for this very expression ii

If the Sacretaryship be offered to
General Sherman and he should see Git
to refuse It, he will be understood "A
refusing 10 endorse "my policy" and Of

The whole story however If his ap
pointment may be a ruse on The part of
the President and his friends, in order

vote on the siie that they are endea.

stands, and thus secure the election Of
few Democratic Cong, g,essmen that
would otherwise be lost. Our soldiers
were not fools in the time of the war,
and the majority Of them will not be
now.

General Sherman as Secretary
