The New York Tribune on GRAM {.

Not long before the Chicago Conven-
ton, the New York Tribune gave its
opinion Of Gen. Grant rs follows:
"Gen. Grant we esteem by no means
q great man, nor even a very great gen.
eral. We want statesman; we want
Mr.. Chief Justice Chase. The Republi-
can party contains no purer, worthier,
no more gifted man. In what respect
does Gen. Grant surpass Mr.. Chase 7
"Is he better Republican |" we ask
Gen. Grant. No reply. If we want to
talk abont horses or tobacco, we may
find him the most voluble man. Not
one word upon the question that racks
the heart of the country! "Take me if
you will, as Ulysses S. Grant, General,
and when am President l shall do as L
please" Perhaps we must take him,
but We do not feel like cheering over it;
certainly not so long as great statesmen
remain in our ranks GIVE US Grant,
because we can elect him." Again that
cowardly argument. Friends, is there
nothing in this great party but office
huugeri Is the chief end of man the
Postoffiee and Revenue service Are
we willing to follow a doubtful leader
into an uncertain battle for unknown
principlesf"

Itis proposed that the carpet-bag leg

If they do, the fourteenth amendment
deprives their respective States OF
representation in Congress. In its sec
ond section taat amendment says OF each
State that
when the right to vote at any elee'
tion for the choice of electors for Presi-
dent and Vicc- President Of the United
States. representatives in Congress, the
executive aud judicial officers of State
or the members of the Legislature there
of is denied to any Of the male iRhabi'
tants of such State, being twenty one
years of age and citizens of the United
States, or in any way abridged, except
for participation in rebellion or Other
crime, the basis of representation there,
in shall be reduced in the proportion
which the number of such male citizen:
shah bear to the whole number OF male
citizens twenty -one years of age IN such
State.n
When the right of voting for Presi
Dental electors is denied to all the vot
ers of State, then the basis OF repre-
sentation in such State must be redncet
by the number of all the voters, which
is to say that it Is to have no basis o

Editors Of the Register:
When l sent you the account of the
disgraceful interruption of our celebra-
ton on the Fourth by A. c. Baker Il
Co., l did not intend to handy words
with him, knowing he would writhe
like any other viper when tread upon,
but subsequent events constrain me to
make further statements, that innocent
men may not be injured through his
outlawry.
Baker publishes q lengthy reply in
the Preston county Journal Of the 18th
of July, and iAdulges in his character
istic slang and egotism, and states that
the celebration was Cotton up by the
Sunday Schools and the G. A. r., and
that it was misunderstanding in re-
gard to the arrangements" Herein he
corroborates my statements. The ar
rangemeut was for Sunday School cell
ebration, and he and his party came
and forcibly took possession; and that
is where the Misunderstanding occurred
nothing more, nothing less.
Then he says Post No. authorizes
him to say lot of balderdash about
Ku Klux Klans and Rebels and Copper
heads and honest, upright white men
in gen eral. Now, that is al! stuff. Two
thirds of the members of this Post con-
denim the infamous proceedings, and are
sorry and sincerely regret that they
were unwittingly his toels on this oc-
casion. He was acting by authority
then and so shamefully abused it that it
only excites mirth to hear him speak of
having authority to speak for them.
They are not such ninnyhammers as to
trust him again, or he might become
the hero (D of some other Fourth OF
July row, as he is now the "bero OF
| York's Run" His references no doubt
suit him, but gentlemen of his own po-
litical creed, and who were present,
substantiate my former statements, to-
gether with hosts of other good citi-
zens of Democratic proclivities.
In answer to his personal abuse heap
ed upon me, will say, l do net slander
INV comrades in arms. for, on the con-
trarv. cherish for them the most en-

Among the last written words of the
generous and gifted General Halpine
were his opinions OF Blair and Seymour:
"On the whole muster-ron Of our army

perately wounded, and no officer has

reluctantly but firmly apply to whom
soever shall question his action and
practical loyalty, the famous words
of the great Radical chief who answers
every charge which he deems unfound-
ed by this striking phrase of the pure
Saxon dialect, "You lie; you william,
you lie; and-what the great Radical
philosopher does not dove are willing
to be held responsible for these words"

From the New York World.
Radical Einnuces.

The Radicals arc sorely troubled in
regard to the exhibit that has been
made of their financial operations. "a
save themselves they have obtained a
special pleading report in regard to the
expenditures during the past year. But
that report commences with the state
ment that all the items of expenditure
have not been returned to the Treas.
ury. How much this includes, or how
large q sum it covers, the public will
not be able to ascertain until next De-
cember, when the annual report Of
the Secretary of the Treasury is
made. Bat with all this special
pleading they cannot get over the
figures which have appeared in McCul-
loch's reports. His official statements
show that since April l, 1865, nine days
before the surrender OF Lees army, to
the first day of June, 1865, the national
debt increased Sli3, ,290,sl0 His reports
also show that from July |, 1865, or
three months, lacking nine days, after
the surrender of Lees army, to October
|, 1867, the Government raised by loan
S1,455, ,3S1, ,745 "a, and during the same
period the Government received from
custom duties, direct and internal
revenue taxes, the sum of 81, l69,-
$50, 9,044 80. Thesefgures are taken from
the official reports of McCulloch, and do
not cover thirteen mouths of the period
since the surrender of Lees army.
Leaving ont of the calculation the
amount of money raised 10y loans, Gus
toms and taxes, during the period from
the 9th of April, 1865, to July l, 1866,
and from October l, 1867, to August /,
1868, the Government has received and
expended S2,55S ,0G9, 1913 23, and yet the
national debt has increased nearly SlIi,-
100000. If we add to tho above the
amount received during the period not
included in the above, or about thirteen
months, tho amount raised by loans
and received from custom duties and
taxes, tho whole amount raised by
the Radicals would, since the surrcn-
der of Lees army, he nearly or quite
s., coo, 100000, or more than the en-
tire amount of the national debt. 10
there any wonder that they squirm
whenever this question is alluded to, or
that they procure special reports to eX-
plain the matter away9 All the above
sums were raised in the time of peace,
and yet the debt has been increased.
What has been done with this money :
How long will the country stand drain
of that kind for the purpose of main
tanning Radical rule, and aiding them
in enforcing negro rule upon one section
of the country Is there any assurance
that the expenses will be less during the
next four years if the Radicals are suc-
cessful this fall Will they not, in that
event, call for large amount of money,
to enable them to force negro Suffrage

Editors of the Register:
In your issue of the 2Sth of July you
call Oh w. L. Stevenson, the Radical
candidate for Governor of West Nir-
einia, to state whether or not lie made
speeches in Ohio, last fall, in favor of
the Constitutional Amendment to give
to negroes the right of suffrage, and
whether he did not address the. people
from the same stand with a negro in
favor of negro suffrage
We have seen no reply from Mr.. Ste
venson on the subject, and presume he
will make none, as he cannot deny the
truth of the questions propounded. But
as the question of negro suffrage is one
of the most important issuessbefore the
country in the present canvass, MIR.
Stevenson's position becomes OF vital
iuportance to the voters of West Nir.
pinia. and they should know in casting
their votes whether they are voting for
the advocate of of the principles of ne
gro suffrage or not. With this view
only, and without any intention of do
ing Mr.. Stevenson any injury further
than his public speeches may be
approved or disapproved by the
voters of West Virginia, we will state
that. Mr.. Stevenson did earnestly advo-
cate negro suffrage in his speeches in
Washington county, and spoke on more
than one occasion with negro from
Oberlin in favor of negro suffrage.
These facts are notorious in our county,
and should they be denied, abundant
proof can be furnished not only from
those who were present and heard him,
but also from the newspapers giving
Mr.. Stcvenson's appointments. and no.
ticing in complimentary terms the sub
ject of his speeches, some of which we
can send You. OHio.
