coins debts amounted to thirty eight dol
! lars and thirty-one cents. Few things in his
career are more creditable to his character
than this. He was evidently as prudent
and conscientious in his private as in his
public affairs Few men in public life
keep their accounts so strictly in hand.
sB Labor is wanted in the South, but
it appears that it would not be so much
wanted if some of the people already there
would only work. The Memphis Post says;
"About the doors of every corner grocery
in the country towns of this region may
| be found half score of men, smoking
cob pipes, and demanding vehemently,
I : Where the - shall we get labor to raise
our cotton -" p ~ - A--s-
W x. is an Intelligent, genial, cult
waited gentleman. Unfortunately, he has
periodical attacks of dissipation, and for a
week or two he roams in darkness. On
one of these occasions, q day or two before
the late election, he approached a promi-
nent Democrat on the street with :" Look

rN There is to be conference of lead
ing Copperhead politicians, in New York
city, on the 18th of December, to con
slider Presidential matters. The latest sug-
gestions for ticket in the Eastern States
are: General James B. Stesdman, of Ohio,
for President, and John Quincy Adams, of
Massachusetts, for Vice President; and
Robert G. Winthrop, of Massachusetts, for
President, and James r. Doolittle, of WIS

eB- The New York Day Book, the or
gan of the ultra Copperheads of the En-.
pire City, and a sheet noted for hurting
out its opinions regardless of party conse-
quences, had recently an article on the
Presidency, from which we make the fol-
lowing extract. brssr.,{4 ,,zv i3-v}-r}
.We notice that some Of our Democratic ex-
changes continue to quote the foolish and lying
telegram that Grant says he will not accept the
nomination from the mongrels for President
ANY man who thinks that Grant is not in perfect
accord with Congress, is green enough to be eaten
up for grass."ffE aoa.H9is9 500 .siFBt
sY Lieutenant General Sherman was
certainly not electioneering for the Con-
sentative nomination for the Presidency,
in his address to thepArmy of the Tennes-
see on the 18th. Witness the following:
/" How any Southern gentleman, with the
facts Chose of the history of the war;
plain and palpable, everywhere staring
him in the face, and recorded forever in the
book Of history, can still boast of his lost
cause, or speak OF 1t in language other
than shame and sorrow, passes my under
standing; and instead Of being revived,
know that their lost cause will sink
deeper and deeper into infamy as time
more keenly probes its hidden mysteries
and reveals them to the light of day."
We A Democratic paper, in trying to
underrate the services of General Grant,
says that, if it had not been for the war,
he would have been a tanner to this day,
for the simple reason that he never sought
to make himself anything else. To this
the Chicago Post responds: 1T is true
that, but for the rebellion, General Grant
never would have extended his business
to the tanning of Democratic hides; that
branch of the trade was made necessary
and important by the war. He did it ex-
tremely well, though, and the rebel De-
mocracy who oppose him in '6S will find
that he is still an fat in the tanning trade !"
ey Lewis Lindsey, the colored man re-
ported as having made violent incendiary
speech at a meeting in Richmond, writes a
note to the Richmond Dispatch denying
his use of the language attributed to him.
He says: Will the papers of Richmond
never learn to be just and love truth?' I
never made such a declaration, or gave any
such advice to my fellow citizens; nor do
believe the advice you have given them
this day (by indirection) as coming from
me, is proper for them to heed What
did say was that the Examiner said that
the streets of Richmond would flow with
blood, and that if the issue must come to
maintain our rights, we must meet the issue
forced upon u.s." a. -.--,,t7 -a4

must do if they would be independent and
prosperous. It says: -. 60, :
They must seize the plow handle and
spade, and use them with as much energy
as they used the musket and cannon. This
has been done in South Carolina, and scores
of men of gentle blood are gaining their
bread by work that now is honorable in
deed Educated young men may be found
on the wharves, in the cotton fields, in the
barns, fighting against want as they fought
| against bullet and saber."
| If the southern white men would cease
10 be troubled about the degree of industry
Of the negroes, and go to work vigorously
Themselves, they would find their reward
more speedily than in the advocacy of any
possible policy Of political reconstruction.
