EI~ The rebels are already begin
ming to discount the "great reaction. y
The ex-slavemaster of Virginia and
the Carolinas, Alabama, Georgia
Mississippi and other Southern States
are preparing lists of slaves held by
them at the commencement of the
rebellion, with view of bringing in
bills against the general government,
for the loss of those slaves, as soon
as the democratic" party comes i'm
to power, which they expect will be
next year. They calculate confdent-
ly on being paid out of the national
treasury for them whenever their
party gets into power.
But it is no occasion for alarm at
having to pay three or four thousand
millions for the emancipated bond :
men, as it will not cost the tax>pay-
ers anything. The way it can be
done is, to settle the claims with
greenbacks and then rcpudidte them.
That is the Democratic method for
paying the national debt. First, pay
the bonds in greenbacks and then
repudiate the greeubacks. 1t is q
handy way of discLarging large OBJ
legations, and must prove satisfacto-
ry to national creditors, and have g
fine effect on public credit

The London Times on General Grant.


The London Times, IN an article on
! American Politics and the next Pres.
idential cIec ion. TINS speaks Of GEN.
eral Grant
There are many forcible recom>
menGations which must recommend
General Grant to the nation above all
other competitors. In the present
condition ofthe country what is more
than anything else is Il strong man at
the head Of the administration. No
man can be that il these days who
has not the good viii Of the people
on his side and the army at his back.
OF weak and compliant Presidents
there haye been plenty, and a firm
President is an obstruction TO the
business Of the country if he repre-
ass egs which are obnoxious to
the majority. General Grant seems
10 combine the necessary advantages
AND Qualifications in his own person
more completely than any candidate
who has yet bee. named. lie has
rendered services to the Northern
cause which can never be forgotten,
and bc has not committed himself to
q sins act which shows him to be
unworthy oftbe fullest confidence
Ills advice would probably be follow
ca when the advice Of no one else
woald be even listened to. He is still
the I#lol ofthe army, whose vote will
haze ne unimportant share III decid>
ing the election There has proba-
bly, never been another man in the
repnblic SO generally popular since
the time Of Washington. His past
services are unimportant, compared
with those which he might now rem
defto his countrymen, for almost any
policy which the President was strong
enough to carry out would be better
than the confusion caused by perpet-
ual hostilities between the Executive
and thcF Legislative. General Grant
is a just man, and his character iusti-
fies the expectation that be would
act, in any position in which he wss
placed, with an earnest regard for the
interests Of his country. What he
decided upon he would accomplish
As affording them relief from the
present contentious and heart burn
ings, q large proportion ofthe peorc
would probably welcome Grant as
their President, and the Republicans
have done wisely in placing a check
upon some Of their extreme organs
in opposition to him. He may be
suppIanted hy another candidate, of
whom the world has not yet heard
whisper, but his defeat could not be
attempted without sacrifices which
the Republicans, powerful as they are
are not prepared TO make

no moro paying our own debts, but
full payment of all the damages suf-

George W. Jones sold to the Illinois

tiers acres of land, situated above the
elevator in Dunleith, fronting on the
river and running back on the bluff.
The price paid was $4,000 cash and
a life pass for himself aud family. A
year ago the land was offered for 375.

railroad company needed the land for
the extension of their track.

Rss~ 1t is good suggestion, made
by Commissioner Wellcs at Toledo,
that we initiate the English govern
ment in the making of appointments
of revenue officers, and Secure to such
their places during good behaviour,
if they have the requisite ability. Our
present system of appointments has
much to do with, not only defraud>
ing the treasury, bnt with corruption
at our elections. We should get rid
of one great source of wrangling
venality, if appointments depended
upon ability, and the retaining of ar
office upon the faithfulness and hon
esty with which its duties are dis
charged,
