eraI Sheridan were to have visited Gen
er.l Grant Saturday in 4 body. There
are many rumoEs aiioat US TO what is
going on, and the johnson men are es-
pecially anxious.
TgE Lacrosse De.aocrat is the only
Coppe.head paper iu Wisconsin that
has the ring OF the genuine metal. 1t
is grossly vulgar, blasphemous, OBJ
scene aud pro slavery. 1t has large
circulation in the party because OF its
frank dizavow al OF the decencies of lie.
In lis issue OF July 20 it had II long sr-
ticle OH Abraham Lincoln, and "the
place where he pegged out, i" from which
the following is an average extract:
"Eyerythfng concerning the departed
cuss Possesses fascination ana charm
for us, which we make no effort TO re-
Glst-ge wouldn't il we could've feel
bI- loss more than most people, lOT ne
Was such 4 nice, sweet, beautiful man
possessed OF such winning ways and
charming chaTacteFistics-snd he was
suuffed out OF existence 50 edsy-he was
human irst-class rocket. and every
body used to ad mire him sO-they didn't
him-thaL there was so much OF that
divinity whichIdOIb hedge about &c.
But one day II naughty boy, J. wilkes
Booth by name. came along, ana ne
admired the rocket, and he said: on,

scratched match. and touched It's

fizz. pop, and bang, his soul TO glory,

amusing rocket was a nasty, b!ackened,
broken stick, aud AN empty case. OF nc

The rest OF the article Is in keeping
with this. II is concentration Of all
that is mean and malignant in Copper
headism, disgrace to any party that
maintains an organ which commends
iisoIf 20 its readers by the most inIa
nous assaults upon all that is venera
led living or dead. The missing plank'
in the platform Of the Wisconsin Dem

Ii no uHtus in connection with our wal

Than that Of the man whose crimes have
been wiped out by the pardon OF Mr.
Johnson. This man Blackburn wa,

its author and compel Impeachment.
IT is said that the President has given
out that he will soon begin to give fol

President may be expected to give Il
the public almost any letter except tha
first written by General Grant ubou
the removal o: Secretary Stanton. This
Ingenious scheme Of Mr. johnson may
perhaps nighten away one or two Re
publican politicians, but We suspect
that the loss to the party will not be
sufficiently great To endanger its sue
