TERRIBLE CoMNOTIoN.- Awful to relate
Grant has spoke il public again. His voice
has been heard, and its thunders shook the
scales from little darky's heel This
matchless, grand, glorious and peculiar affair
took place in the sainted city of bad morals
and easy divorces, Chicago, on the night of
the 29th ult At the appointed time, Grant,
the faF-famed eIocutionist and deIineator-
Of horse talk and horse meat-came for
ward, and in his usually well modulated
voice said
" Ladies and GenHemen-I thank you for
this spontaneous compliment. As you we'll
know, l do not make speeches, and l can
hardly find language in the presence of this
immense assem- blage even to express my
thanks. You must simply, on this occasion,
allow me to return from the bottom of my
heart my sincere thanks for this kind call ~

Those Blessed Results

The great argument Of the radicals seems
to be this: If Grant is not elected the re
suits Of the late war viii be lost
The results which these precious patriots
are so anxious to keep, may be catalogued as
follows:
Negro outrages in the South.
Stealing aud defauIting by Government
officers.
Enormous taxation
An overwhelming public debt.
High prices for all the necessaries Of life.
A deprecated currency.
A general stagnation in business.
A total lack of confidence in Government
And a Pandora's box full of social and
political evils, all growing out of the late
war
Those who wish to preserve these results
and multiply them year by year, viii vote
for Grant.

Since I865-only three years-the State
debt of Tennessee has increased eighteen
million forty-four thousand seven hundred
and sixteen dollars. This is the way the
radicals exhibit our prosperity and is one of
the rich inducements held out to immigrants
as well as Immigrants! We predict the
amount viii be doubled should the raddies
retain power two years longer. OF course,
every "loil pilferer asserts that the great
swell in the State debt was brought about by
necessities which the djsloyal forced upon
the Legislator but the disloyaI never
taught them how to steal, and every candid
mind North or South knows full well that
caprice, fraud and theft has been the chief
aim of the delectable legislator ever since
