Counting Chickens before they are Hatch.

Some months ago Colfax's friends gave,
among other reasons why Grant should
not be the Radical candidate for the Pres.
idency, that he could not deliver an In
augural Address We dod't see that is
any argument against his being candi-
date The necessity for delivering one is
not in the least among even the remote
much less tic immediate possibilities.
The fact is, the Radicals knew exactly
what they were about when they nomi
mated Grant. They wanted some thing
to make q platform Of, and as no Pres
dental candidate of mo lcrn times has
been as largely composed Of bass wood
as Mr. Grant, we think they did emf
nently well in his selection. And, more
over, as it has long been well known
fact that the Radical candidate for the
Presidency will be beaten, the &" Great
Unspeaking" was selected mainly because
he was not likely to make so much noise
as some Of the more noisy ones among
them ?-CMcianaf Enquirer.

persons unacqnainted with the facts, an idea
of the ridiculous basis of Representation in

One of our best citizens was most barbar-

horse belonging to gentleman by the name
ri Burkett. new conner and most cstimable

med out warrant, placed it in the hands of
NE proper officer, who proceeded to the resi-

loor and seeing the officer and another man,
aboth named Wilson. and related to NJ he
Etized his revolver and fired on the officer, who
precipitately fled, NJ. continuing to fire. One
