General Grant and Impartial Suffrage.

The w aShlngtOn CoiItepoha0ho -
the Springfield Republican writes as
follows. under the date Of July 81:
@Jnst before the adjournment OF
Congress. three or four OF the oldest
Republicans 10 il called upon General
Grant. and had long conversation
upon current political events. lie
knew well enough what their object
was--that they desired TO know II be
vas sound enough to run for Presl~
dent. They found ont two very lm>
portant facts, firstly, that ne IS with
Congress in its scheme OF recon-
struction, and consequently against
the President, and secondly, that he
is for manhood suffrage. On this
head he had made rapid progress
Last winter he used TO talk alter this
fashion: impartial suffrage is com
ing, but the prejudices Of the people
are strong, and | would humor them,
aud | confess it does seem a little
hard that we should enforce equal
suffrage upon the South while we
lack the moral courage to enforce it
at home. He used almost this lan>
guage last winter, but he talks in
different strain now. He says now
that manhood suffrage has been es>
tablished at the South, and the North
must follow and make it universal
He believes it impossible to stop now
in the manhood suffrage movement,
and the part Of wisdom is TO make it
universal and as quickly as can be-
But he does not believe Congress has
the constitutional power TO do it,
the States must take the necessary
action upon the subject, that is, the
loyal States. General Grant does
not question the power of Congress
to establish impartial suffrage at the
South.
s@-One of Brownlow's negro mill
Tia captains got on u Nashville street
car the other day, and caused ludi-
crous scene. The white passengers
protested against his riding. and he
was ordered 10 get Off This he re-
fused TO do. The car was immedi-
ately stopped and the white passen-
gers vacated it. The driver thereup.
on declined to go ahead, and left the
car standing on the track. After a
while Sumner got off, the driver re-
mounted his platform and proceeded
on his trip. In short while the
seeding passengers were overtaken
and given their seats. Sumner, see
ing what was going on, ran and sue
ceeded IN getting on the car second
time. The whites again got out, and
the driver refused to proceed. But
Sumner would not bulge. He had
the whole car to himself. and con-
Guided to keep it. Remonstrances
We're IN vain-he stuck to his seat.
The driver at length took his stand
! and drove on. Sumner was his only
passenger. The white folks walked.
CuRE FOR Hoe CnoLERA.-Wc find
the following remedy for hog chol--
era IN the Chicago journal. It is said
by that pa, TO have cured hundreds
OF cases, and will undoubtedly prove
efficient IN very large proportion
Of all cases. Watcher it is valuable
! or not Il trial will cost but little:
Take FIVE pounds OF the painting
material known as Venetian Red.
which can be obtainc at any paint
or drug store; and mis- il with thirty
gallons Of either sweet or sour milk.
Or this material may be mixed in
smaller quantities if the same pros
portions are maintained. This mix
tnro, thoroughly stirred together, is
to be placed in the troughs where
hogs may go and drink freely of it
for two or three days. The hogs
will at once become convalescent.
/ NEAT AND TERsEs- recent cor
respondence between the President
and Secretary Stanton is admirable
for it's succinctness and clearn ess.
Under date Of August 9Th Mr.. Johns
son writes TO Mr. Stanton rs fol-
lows:
Considerations of public interest
will persuade me to accept your res,
ignation if rendered"
On the same day Mr.. Stanton re,
spends to this urbane hint as fol-
| lows:
Considerations Of public interest
have prevailed with me TO hold this
office Tor many months past, and con
siderations of publicinterest will pre-
vail with mo to hold it till the rs.
sembling Of Congress.
IT will be seen that both parties
claim to be actuated by equally hon
orable considerations Of
public interest" which they prob.
ably mean a regard for the gener-
al welfare.
Gy When a counterfeit is presented
at the Bank Of England, the gold is
instantly paid for it. If it comes
from some known person he is only
asked where be got it. If from a
stranger the cashier signals to his de-
tective, always in waiting, and the
officer follows secretly. Before many
hours the bank is in possession OF
the strangers biography. The offend.
or once arrested is likely to be tried,
convicted and sentenced within two
days; wherefore Great Britain il not
an inviting field for this branch of
industry.
