A CoNTRAsT.-How much more to
be admired is the following extract
from the columns of the New York
Ifnaes-an honest, charitable paper
than the malignant attacks Of the
letter writer of the Wisconsin State
Journal and ex-Lieutenant-C Colonel
Beadle, in relation to the Southern
people!
Speaking of the anniversary of the
fall of Richmond, the Times says:
Instead Of moraGzing on the occur
renee OF the anniversary of the en-
trance of our army into Richmond,
we Will merely indulge in an express
sion of qualification that brief year
has done so much to rebuild the ruins
of the war. The Southerners have
neither fallen into despair, nor, as a
general thing. do they nurse malig-
nant feelings They have not sunk
into debasement, as other conquered
peoples have done; nor have their ac-
tlvitles become paralyzed. On the
contrary, while they have accepted
the Issues of the war, they have al
most universally gone to work. All
this must be remembered in favor of
Che Southern people, as its conse-
quences are in favor of the entire
country. For the rebuilding of
Southern cities, the reorganization
of Southern industry, and the re-
sumption Of all forms of activity in
the South, are almost as deep matter
of interest here as there. There are
sorrows of the war that will last
through this generation, and there
are painful results of it that will en-
dure for centuries; but twelve-month
has suf6ced to heal up many of its
scars, and restore many of its ravages.

The Mob at indianapolis.

The Herald, printed at indianapolis,
in stating the details of the mob at the
Presidents reception in that city, says:
General Grant said that the first shot
fred came from a second story window
on the opposite side of the street; that
the ball struck one of the Chinese Ian
terms suspended from the window of the
Presidents sroom, and passed within three
feet of his own head. He oppressed the
opinion that 1t aoas deliberate attempt to
dssassinats Mr.. johnson. Both General
Grant and Admiral Farragut were as
completely disgusted as any of the party.
The Admiral wanted to know what man
ner of people there we're in Indianapolis,
and the General said that, though disturb
ed, it was the first time they had been
snsulted since they started from Washing
ton.'

General Grant Rebukes the Rad
lcaIs at Cincinnati.

The Radicals headed by Ben. Eggles-
ton & Co., in order to snub the President,
thought they would do the "honors" sole
ly to Gen. Grant, and although he avoid
ed them on all occations, they finally got
the General cornered in Woods Theater.
With good deal of congressional pom
posity, Eggleston and others took their
crowd to the Theater, and sent several of
their leaders to convey the intelligence to
the General who occupied private box.
Without giving Captain Baker moment
to say single word, General Grant ap-
preached him and said in firm tone:
"Sir:3 I am no politician. The Presi-
dent of the United States is my Com
mander -in-Chief. I consider this dem
onstration in opposition to the President
of the United States--ANDREW JOHN
SON. If you have any regard for me

formance. I win be glad to see you all

This was terrible punishment, and
Capt, Baker withdrew, smarting severely
under the lash. Messrs. Eggleston & Co.
were crest-fallen and completely annihi
lated, and the entire company retired tt
their homes terribly mortified at the re-
buke they richly deserved and meritet
from the General of the United State
armies.
| At the close of the performance Gene
raj Grant took the arm of his friend AM
walked down to the Burnet House. Or

Summary OF Plants speeeh--Why
He was Choked OF Here.

As few of the people of this county are
likely to have the exquisite pleasure of
hearing Mr.. Plants expound his views
during this campaign,we copy condens-
ed report of his speech, made at McCOn-
nellsville few days since, taken from
the Conservative, published at that place.
Here it is. Read it:
"He voted, he said for negro suffrage
in the District of Columbia, and would
vote that way all the time. He said if
any soldier did not like his course on the
bounty question, that is, giving $500
bounty to the negro soldier and only 500
bounty to the white soldier, and taking
s2,O 900 extra pay Cor bounty for himself,
he might vote against him for he could be
elected without his vote. He admitted
that he had given several votes in Con-
gress for political purposes and to advance
the cause of Radicalism. He declared
that the Southern States must stay out
of the Union until the negro was secured
in his right to vote.
In the course of his speech heattempt.

to the extra pay allowed members OF

Radical Misrepresentation OF the
Issue.


The Radicals urge as pretext for
keeping the Union divided that they are
not willing to admit unrepentant rebels
to seats in Congress.
This is the Himsiest sophistry. No
body is urging the admission of "unre-
pentant rebels" and there is no such is
sue involved in the contest.
The question is not who shall represent
the Southern States, but, shall they be
represented at all? The Radicals refuse
to admit loyal representatives who have
fought for the Union during the entire
war.
The genuine Union men say that the
States are entitled to representatives, and
when this is conceded, and not before,
comes the question as to who are proper
representatives.
There is not Democrat in Congress
who would vote to admit a representative
who would refuse to take the proper oath,
or who did not possess the qualifications
prescribed by the Constitution.

Some Of the Reasons why HIr.
Plants FixzIed.

The following are few specimens Of
the reasons we have heard assigned why
Mr.. Plants didnt say his piece after COM
ing so far for that express purpose:
His Negro equality ideas would not
suit this latitude.
Most of those who would hear him had
already read his speech.
He hadn't seen a Negro since he came
into the county, and concluded he had
few friends here.
But four days notice had been receiv-
ed of his coming.
The town wasn't big enough to hold the
people who would be here.
The rope to the Court House bell was
broken, and it was difficult to ring it.
The enthusiasm for Mr.. Plants was al
ready SO great that they feared an out
break.
He had forgotten something and want
ed to go back afterit.
There was "germ of possibility
that he would have nobody to hear him
There was large "germ" of probabil.
Iity that if he had he would lose votes
by it.
The failure of the wheat crop and the
potato rot were also suggested as reasons
And, finally, the Radicals would be
derned if they wouldn't vote for hin
whether he spoke or not, and the Con
servatives would be derned if they woulc
vote for him whether ho spoke or not.

Prices Must Come Down.

If the Radicals are defeated this fall,
the South will then have confidence that
the Government will not allow Yankee
thieves and revolutionists to rob them of
their labor, and will go to work to pro-
duce, on larger scale, sugar, cotton, rice,
tobacco, molasses, etc., and the price Of
these articles will come down to the old
figures. If the disunionists are success
full, they will feed the negro from the
Government Treasury, and there will be
light crops in the South, leaving prices
high as at present.
