Guess Not.
[From the Springfield Transcript


We are informed that certain High
street would be-politician, invited one of
our city painters to his house TO see what
the cost OF graining door would be, when
the following dialogue occurred: e.
Politician =" What will the granting of
this door cost 2" .--.--..
Painter =" Well, it is considerably blis-
tered, and will have to be worked down a
good deal to make good job, and should
say it will be worth at least six dollars"
Politician" Cheap enough; when can
you do it?"
Painter-"In In day or two"
Politician -" All right but say, (the
painter starting away how do you vote ?''
Painter -" I vote as shot,
Politician :" But who are you going to
support for Congress ?"
Painter-"Jndge Winans." ...
Politician-"I guess l don't want my
door grained just now."
If there is much love displayed in this
dialogue for the working man we can't ex-
actly see it, Springfield Advertiser, 2sth
uN.
The following card has been handed us
for publication, bearing directly upon the
above:
To the editor of the Springfield Advertiser
S1R:-I am the painter referred TO in
your paper of the 2Sth ult.. as having had
a conversation with John HI. Thomas. The
statement made by you that MIR. Thomas
refused to employ me because was Re-
nublican, is false and without any founda-
tion whatever. Although am Republi-
can, 1 am unwilling that you should lie
about a gentleman on my account. You
will oblige me, if you are determined to
publish lies to do it on your oaon account.

f HoLLowAY's PILLS. More than two
thirds of the sickness which occurs in the
summer proceeds from disordered condi-
tion of the liver. Persons of bilious
habit suffer most in warm weather. They
are languid, low spirited, troubled with
pain in the side, headache, and constant
feeling of weariness. The immediate and
certain remedy for these symptoms, and
all others proceeding from biliousness, is
Holloway's Pills. OF all anti-bilious med
icines they are safest, surest and best. Sold

Caught at Their Rascalify.

The Philadelphia (Pa.JAge OF the I'd inst,
says: fEEr.-r
Just as we predicted, no sooner did the
boous "Boys in Blue" arrive i'm the city,
than they at once proceeded to have their
names put upon the voting lists. But the
Democrats were wide awake, and in a short
time three ballot box suffers were arrested
in the Sixth Legislative District, and are
now in Moy ameDsing, where many more of
their comrades will be during to-day, as
thew are known and cannot escape detec-
ton. In other parts of the city, the "Boys
in Blue" were caught in the same dishonest
acts, and the whole movement gotten up
by the Radicals to carry the city by fraud
has proved miserable failure, and will
lose them thousands of votes. Democrats,
look out for bogus "Boys in Blue"

Wants the Government Driven
into InaOlYeRcY.

Tho Journal says that the Democrats
want to Tax farms, so that the Tax can be
taken off of Whisky. which is drunk by
Democrats, and from which large por-
tion of the Revenue for the Federal Gov
ernment is realized. In another editorial.
the Journal calls upon the people not to
drink Whisky or chew Tobacco, and not to
use the articles off of which the Federal
Government obtains its revenue.
If they shall follow the Journals advice,
how is the Government to be carried on
1t is now falling behind at the rate OF over
one hundred and fifty million dollars d
wear.

The Tribnne and she Chances I'm
Ohio.

EThe Neo York Tribune says that the Re-
publicans expect to carry Ohio, but by
smaller majority than that OF 1855, sand
that we, (the Radicals) are likely to lose
two to four Representatives in Congress-"
We incline to the opinion that the Re-
publican majority in Ohio will be less than
that of 1S66-so much less that the majori-
ty will be sunk so low as to leave balance
to the Democracy, and that the Radicals
will lose two to five members of Congress,
with at least ten members added to the
larger number.

Trying to Shield Gen. Grant Under

Tryinsr TO shield Gen. Grant Under
ftas M suale of la cR<sOn. lV'
The New York Tribune, in reply to the
objection raised to Gen. GRANT, OF being in
the Military Service of the United States,
says
This obiection comes, from party pro-
fessing to be the identical party which
nominated Gen. jackson for the Presiden-
CIV, and, by the sheer force of his military
popularity, elected him.
General JACKSON was not elected by the
sheer force of military popularity. The
attempt of certain persons in Washington
to disgrace him, in consequence of his In
vasion of Florida, while Spanish Terri
tory, the Governor of which melted the
Indians to acts of hostility against the
United States, and then, when Jackson
defeated them, allowed them to take shell
ter In the Spanish forts, prompted the Leg
islature of Tennessee to present him as
candidate for President. AT the election In
1924 General JACKSON received ninety
nine electoral votes to eighty-four for
JoHN:QuINcY ADAMS. Congress. although
he was minority candidate, elected ADAMS
many States, where JACKSON was the
second choice, and Mr.. ADAMS scarce had
q corporal's guard of supporters, voting
for ADAMS, while others, If we mistake not,
whose electoral vote was for JACKSON, cast
the Congressional vote for his leading OPP
ponent. s ,- ,a,-. .--,
The belief that General JACKSON was de-
srauded out of the Presidency caused him
to be nominated as candidate. by the peo-
pie without the formality of Conven-
tion, and he was elected by an overwhelm-
ing majority.
The fitness of Gen. JACKSON for the
place-the many civil offices, Judge of the
Supreme Court, member of the Constitu-
tional Convention of Tennessee, Senator in
Congress, showed that he had civil as well
as military qualifications for the Office, and
his eight year career as President, made
his Administration famous as one OF the
purest, wisest, and best that the country
ever had. sa.4
Gen. JACKSON, when nominated, held no
commission in the Army ard had no SOL
diers under his command. He was not
educated as a General. but as civilian;
and the objection to Gen. GRANT Is not
that he fought for the country, but that be
is mere military man, without knowledge
or experience as q statesman, and above all
it Is, that at the time he aspires to the
first office in the gift of the people, he
commands the Army, with greater power
given him than ever an American General,
including WAsHINGrON, was trusted with,
and that this Army, instead of being en-
ployed to defend the white frontier set
tiers against the tomahawk and scalping
knife Of the savsges, is engaged In the
South to aid the Radicals in enforcing ne
gro suffrage and Radical measures upon an
unwilling people whose misfortune it is to
have been born white. rt

Giving IL Up.

The Plain Dealer learns that the informa-
ton received by the Republican State
Committee at Columbus, in reference to the
result in Ohio, is of such character as to
produce CONSERVATION in the ranks of the
Radicals. 1t is virtually admitted that
Ohio is certainly going Democratic, and
that all that can be done now is to keep the
majority down as low as possible, in order
to make the fight lively for the November
elacti0n.

The Journal has wretched wood cut,

THE VOTE OF MISSISSIPPI.

The people of Mississippi, or as many as the
registers thought proper to allow, last week voted
on the ratification of the Constitution prepared
for that State under the reconstruction regime.
Strange to say-radicalism has met with an ad-
verse fate in that noble old State for although the
colored majority of registered voters was consider
able, yet the State has gone Conservative-defeat,
ed the bogus Constitution, and rejoices in trium'
phant vindication of her honor and principles.
What is stranger yet the colored voters voted the
Conservative ticket, in many places almost unan.
imously. When we remember the fate of Alabama
whose voters likewise defeated the Constitution
prepared for that State, but was forced into the un
ion under it few days ago, we cannot but feel that
Mississippi may yet be subjected tosome more hate,
full outrage. If the Conservatives have triumphed
and the Constitution is defeated. she will hardly
be admitted to representation, and have the bogus
instrument forced upon her, for that would result
in sending Conservative delegation to Congress
which would be altogether contrary to the "Con.
gressional plan of Reconstruction.

CoLORED MEN IN CONGRESS.

It may be remembered by many of our readers
that during the sitting of the South Carolina Re-
construction Convention, and while the party can
didates were manipulating for the offices, two
colored delegates went to Washington as sort OF
smelling committee to ascertain whether gentlemen
of their odour would be admitted as members to
Congress in case of election. The committee re-
turned in few days, bearing the information that
the colored gem'm must quiet their aspirations
and be content with some of the smaller State
Offices leaving such berths to their white brethren;
and also, that the effect ofnegro delegates in Con-
gress would be highly distasteful to the country,
and baneful to the party. The result was that a
ticket was made up and elected for representations
from the State, and the negroes all left out, al
though they stood in the ratio Of about fifty to one,
in the ranks of their party. -
Now, however, that the elections are over, lest
the colored voters of the party in the South
should take umbrage at such course, and mis-
trust the declarations of the equality party, as
many have done of late, shining light at Wash
ington utters the following manifesto in reply to
communication from Norfolk, Va, on the subject:
s'SENATE CHAMBER, June 20, 1868.
