GENERAL GRANT is not receiving from the
Argus that hearty support which he has
/ ght to expect. A few weeks ago the Argus
was for General Grant, by whichever party
dominated, and now, when the prospect of his
nomination by the Republican party is grow
Tag daily more and more assured the Argus is
suddenly dumb. The Leavenworth Bulletin
4 for Grant. The Kennebec journal comes
cat in double loaded leader for Grant. The
Republican State Convention Of MARYLAND de-
'iares for Grant. The New York Times and
Commercial Advertiser are for Grant. Gov
Grnor Brownlow's Radical Legislature recon-
'nends Grant. The Philadelphia Union Club
iavors Grant Senator Wilson and Represent
alive Washburne are for Grant. From every
eide, as when some popular favorite is called
out at public meeting, there is general cry
oil Grant, Grant, Grant" We haven't named
half the expressions which come to our ears
from Republican clubs, conventions, and pub
lie men. There is the Union club of Column
bus, Ohio, the Toledo (Ohio) Blade, the La
Crosse (Wis) Republican, the Syracuse IN
" Journal. the Concord IN. H. Stateman,
the Republican Senatorial Convention of Che
mung, Schuyler and Stueben counties, New
York, all for Grant-and amidst this general
moderation, the Argus remains dumb as an
oyster. Why is this thus? ID

TEE declaration of the Cumberland Temper
an Association last week, that "ail futnre
es!slaton in this State unfriendly to frohiDi'
tea viii be firmly resisted, whatever aaAsei;
real or supposed may threaten other causes
II exc;tine some discussion. With the resoiu-
ton itse,f wa have no fault 10 And, except that
"a ia a little vague. One OF the speakers on the
sane occasion Is reported az saying that mot
the slightest change In existing laws" must be
permitted, and ifthat were the meaning of the
resolution it would be open co grave objections.
To assume that the Maine law of 1867 is the
supreme result Of human wisdom in this di-
re 3ton, and to pronounce sentence of woe
upon whoever may rashly add thereto or take
th arefrom single word, is to put forward a
claim to infallibility which this protestant
community will be slow to recognize. We hope
tie Legislature will do its duty this winter
without fear or favor. If the working of the
Constabulary law and of the Imprisonment
amendment is found to be satisfactory, " o hope
they will be retained. If either or both OF these
Il atures of the law are found to be doing harm,
W hope they will be modified or repealed, and
no reasonable man will call such action sum
fl iendly to prohibition" People who are I'M
torested in the sale of liquors are not likely to
b. satisfied with any legislation which can Sc
cure the assent of a Republican Legislature
and we hope there will be no attempt to please
hsm. For different reason we hope there
will be no attempt to please people
who have arbitrarily decided that the
PRESENT law cannot be improved. If our rep
resentatives consider this question ON its mer
ITS, and honestly try to do their duty by the
State without regard to threats or supplica
tons, they will do better for themselves and fol
the Republican party than they can hope t.

CLYDE

An Old Aquaintauoe,-Most Of our
citizens will remember man named PIrER
who was here for sometime before the war
and who made a business of swindling every
body. We clip the following from a tsle-
gram to the Chicago Tribune from Madison
Wisconsin: i's-z .i' 10 asue1 sdf
Some senation has, been caused here by
the arrest of man calling himself z. B.
Farely, with abundant curly hair and who
has assumed several other aliases, Edwards
Clark, King, &C., at different times and
place, but whose real name is E. 8. Piper.
The arrest was made for sundry forgeries,
BY which he swindled sundry banks in this
State, Vermont and iowa out Of some $3, 600.
He has been here some three weeks with a
female passing her off as his wife, and cut
ting quite dash, spending money laSishly
on fast horses, betting, gaming, dressing, DC,
getting rid of nearly s., 600 since his debut
here. He was first arrested on Friday, but
released on the ground that the affair for
which he was arrested-on the strength of a
circular issued and reward sent at the time
Of the iorgeries-had been Compromised.
A telegraphic inquiry addressed to the Pres
ident Of The bank in Rutland, Vermont,
which he had been victimized, was answer
ed by request to hold him till officers
could arrive with a reduisition, and he was
Te-arrested yesterday, Just as he was pre-
pairing to leave town. He was taken before
Judge Bryant to-day on a writ Of Hdbeas
corpus which was argued at length, but no
decision has yet been given. 1t is probable
that he will be held I'll officers arrive with a
requisition. He admits that he is the afore-
said Piper, aud boasts of bis swindling ex-
plots. : 1t is suspected that be. may have
been engaged in recent transactions which
have furnished means for his display here.

SIDE BY SIDE.

The Democracy of to-day are marching
side by side with the aristocracy Of Europe
in their Efforts to restrict suffrage. While
the lower classes Of .Europe-the men who
labor in the factories in the shops, on the
farms and in the cities-are denied the
right of self government be ause they are
poor and lowborn, the Democratic party in
Ohio is seeking to apply t. same restrlction
to the colered race because they are colored.
The effort of the people of England to secure
the privilege of taking part in the govern
ment of that country meets with no favor or
encouragement form the Ohio Democracy OF
to-day. The tiue was when that party
advocated the doctrine of the greatest good
| TO the greatest numhe and the largest lib rty
and the most perfect security TO the weakest
classes in the community; but they abandon
ed that article of faith and ATTEMPTED TO
arouse the fears of their voters by appeals
| to their prejudice against the colored man
But the spirit of liberty is too strong to
be resisted, and the day win come, even in
| England, when the ballot of the laborer in
the factory will be deposited in the same
boz with that of the aristocrat who drives
his coach, aud when freedom in its strongest
sense will be the acknowledged birtbright
of every citizen. The course of empire is
onward in the cause of right and justice tc
to all men of all classes, and the mau ol
the party that attempts to stem the tide and
turn it back will be overwhelmed.
| BosBNG FOR RATs.-Put stout line on a
common fsh-pole, bait the hook with Bit
of fresh beef, and get on shed or any placs
| where the rats coDgregate after dark, and
throw out your hook as for fish, and 70,
can soon catch fine string of rats.-Kento,
Republican.
