while he holds important position among the chief
executive forces of the eoantry.
The sill nee or re,icenee Gen Grant, heretofore.
and which has been a subject of so much comment,
and unfrea uncalled for curiosity, III be
found thoroughly explained upon the score OF the
most statesman-ke prudence aud wisdom
Gen. Grant belongs To that class of great men

rather than in words but he is not found wanting in
vigorous power with the pen in the elega nces of
compact and emphatic style of utersuce in language
In the general huhhub of politics when the small
men and demscog each and all forcing oppor-
tuuites express their views, the silent men who
speak only hen necessity commands, and are apt to
be overlooked, their silence is misnteTpreted. 1t
is desirable, therefore, that rejecting peope-they
upon whose shoulders, more than upon any others,
e dignity and safety OF the Republic after all de-
pend, should withdraw from the turmoil, long
enough at least to study and judge what may be ex

whom no devices de sogues. wies of opposing
statesmen can depose from popular exalta,ion. 1t
becomes then the duty. it vii, be the pleasure of
such to thoroughly study him.
Of the number Of works in the form of biograph

General Grant, confidently believe this will be
found the most acceptable, thorough and reliable Ii
is from the highest standpoint of biographical
inquiry and representation, and must take its place
among the classic literature Of the land.

Editors Of the Commercial:
SIR: After looking over the paper for
several days-at least since ID. w. Voor-
hees was here-I find that it is sliding
into his wake, and find the Republican

is this you will please let an old Re
publican know in Your Sundays issue, or
strike NJ. Davis d Co., now NJ ~ Davis,
from your list of subscribers. We do
not propose to feed and protect the par
ty which cost US SO much blood and

NJ NJ DAVIS.
There it is Told you SO. The Devil
and the Davises are after US. The Com
mercial will hereafter be published now
and then, principally then. Of course
the gentlemen who stop it because it
"has sold out to the Dimmycrats" will
not beg, borrow or steal it from any one
else, and hence we lose the opportunity
Of telling them how bad we feel about it.
In view Of several calamities like that
recorded in the communication above,
we have concluded to shut up our shop
and paste upon the door Of the CONNER
cial office the Irishman's epitaph upon
his dead kitten:

much .sblood and treasure'-especially
blood-because, you see, blood will tell,
if you only have enough Of it.
Speaking of bloods reminds of ca
daverous friend of ours who stopped at
a hotel in Salem during the war He
was aroused during the night by an at
tack Of bed bugs in force. They came
flank and in echiHor. After manfully re
sisting for an hour or two he was finally
compelled to raise the white flag with
red spots on it) and cry copaiba. He
aroused the landlord and stated his case,
standing in cool hail, the gentle night
breeze meanwhile dallying with his
we'll, his drawers, and tanning his ex-
termities on which the bloody bugs had
with develish art marked the Grecian
Archipelago and the Thousand Islands
He said that he had no disposition to
complain of his fare. He was peace
able man. He loved quiet and disliked
confusion. He had endeavored to put
up with a reasonable amount of bed
bugs. To few hundred he should in
terpose no great objection In truth he
did not care much for the biting of the
bugs, but the fact was he was thin
man, Of delicate constitution, and really
he he hadn't the blood to spare.
The Commercial is in a similar pre-

lose a few subscribers, but really we
hadn't any money to spare.

For = slaunch Democratic organ -
one Of the leading papers Of that party
the Albany ARGUS is strikingly hetero-
dox on the subject Of finance, as incui-
Gated by Pendleton and his hackers.
After deprecating the narrowing OF the
great struggle between the parties dawn
to . mere financial ISSUE it declares:
"Nor do we believe that the New
York Democracy, educated in the creed
OF jefferson, and impressed with deep
convictions upon the subject by the long
warfare under Jackson, will ever consent
to seek the solution OF our financial
troubles in the issue Of deprecated pa
per currency. No matter under what in.
direction its course is concealed, or by
what sophistry defended, the deprecia-
ton Of the currency is the direct tax
upon labor. The upper classes turn the
crisis of transition of values. which it
brings about, into an opportunity for
amassing great wealth while the whole
burden Of loss is thrown upon the PEG
pie. We do not deny that the debt is to
be paid in the currency of the country,
such az II shall be when the occasion
comes to pay it, or any portion of it.
We deprecate only the policy, which for
the sake of anticipating the necessity Of
payment should deteriorate the whole
volume OF the currency of the people"
If the high reputation OF the ARGUS
as powerful organ Of the democracy
were not established beyond question,
we should begin to suspect its fidelity to
the party. We have nowhere seen a
more forcible statement of the substan
tial views of the Republican party on
the financial question than is embodied
in the above brief quotation from the
ARGUS. 1t strikes at the very vitals Of
the Pendleton theory-the issue Of vast
volumes of greenbacks-which any man
who reasons clearly must see, can lead
to nothing but universal bankruptcy.
But the point to which attention is spe
cially directed is that which relates TO
the redemption of bonds. intelligent
Republicans everywhere, agree with the
Argos that the payment of the bonds is
not present question. They cannot be
paid until they are due. Not one of the
2Os will be due in q sense that will re-
qui,e redemption, until 1882. BY that
time the country will have renewed spe-
Gle payment, and then a dollar of paper
will be as good as a dollar in gold. and
no man will whatever may be the
letter and spirit Of the contract wheth-
er the bonds he holds are paid in gold
or currency. We do not ask any fairer
admission than that of the ARGUS, that
the substantial Republican doctrine upon
the redemption of the bonds is right,
to.wit: 1--WE do not deny that the pub
lie debt is to be paid in the currency of
the country such as it shall be when the
occasion comes to pay it, or any portion
of it," And this too, we take to be the
doctrine of Mr. Horatio Seymour, both
from his recent speech, and from the
fact that the ARGUS is the recognized ex-
poDent OF his views

Gov. Vance, on his way home from
the Democratic Convention, made q
speech in Richmond, in which he ex-
pressed his confidence that what the
Confederacy fought for would be won by
the election of Seymour and Blair We
heartily agree with him so far; but the
people who beat the Confederacy on the
field are not to be beaten by it at the
polls. If Lee could not whip Grant,
We don't believe Horatio Seymour can
do it.

An Excellent Snake Story.
Thursday Morning, Nov. rs. 1868

a friend of ours in Benton coun-
ty, mot more than a hundred miles
from Pond Grove, is exceedingly
fond, of getting a joke upon his
neighbors, and enjoys a laugh even
at his own expense. The tables
were lately turned 60 nicely upon
him, however, that we doubt
whether he will try his hand at a
joke again for long time.
He was lately crossing a field on
his premises when he felt a pecu-
liar sensation in his trowsers leg,
and in an instant the terrible sus-
picion fastened upon him that there
was a snake there. Putting out
his hand to ascertain, it came in
contact with what he supposed to
be the head of the reptile. 1t
flashed across his mind at once
that the only hope of his life lay
in his ability to grasp and firmly
hold the head until he could obtain
assistance and extricate himself
from his unpleasant predicament
Seizingit, therefore, with one hand,
he started at full tilt for the house,
about half mile distant. AS be
ran he could feel the reptile wrig
Cling around his leg. He was fair.
ly bathed in a cold sweat at the
thought that it might free itself
from his grasp and give him the
fatal blow while far away from help,
and fear len. wings to his feet. As
he approached the barn, where hi:
wife was at work, he became fear
full OF the terrible effect it might
have upon her to reveal his dan
gerous situation, and he, therefore.
slipped slyly in at the back door
Going in to one corner, he Invested
himself of his clothing, Che had
kicked off his boots on the way
drew forth the cause of his terror,
and with sense of relief hurled
it violently from him. 1t struck
the rafters above, then fell to the
floor and revealed to his astonished
gaze-an old piece of rope, which
he had put, as he supposed, into
his pocket, but which had slipped
down into his trowsers leg. The
movement f walking had produced
the wriggling which had at first
attracted his attention. AS he ran,
OF course the motions became more
violent. A knot on one end he
had mistaken for the head, and
had been holding it as with the
grasp of death.
His wife, good soul, was at first
nearly frightened to death, then
almost laughed herself to death.
The story was too good to keep, and
soon his neighbors were anxiously
inquiring regarding his recovery
from the "snake bite" We have
often heard of persons having
Snakes in their boots" but never
in thatway before Lafayette, Ind,
