| when Gen. Grant was first nominated there
| appeared to be n concerted plan among the
newspapers OF the Democratic school to write
him down, TO belittle him. They soon found,
however, that this would not work, aud M y
| Abandoned the attempt. His great deeds were
too well known, and his success In crushing
the rebellion too pAlpsbie before all the peo-
pie for them to succeed 10 this sort OF thing
We observe that several Southern journals,
not vet having the cue from their Northern
brethren to desist from this sort Of warfare,
are pursuing 1t with a vengeance.
There Is an obscure paper published som: q.
where down In Mississippi whose editor gets
of the following diatri6c. This writer, speak.
Ing of our General, says!
"Obscure In birth-grovcling and sensual In

down with the namelcss millions OF his race,
into the depths of unknown obscurity. A

alleys. One may look In vain, through the
whole history Of the war, for any evidence OF

were accidental. His greatness ia myth. II

We should hardly expect to hear such stuff
from Mississippi. Did the writer ever hear OF
NicLsburg, and does he mean to give us to un.
derstand that General Joseph 4. johnson and
the great Pcmberton were fools and towards,
that they allowed themselves to be conquered
by such man as this fellow represents Grant
to be.
Do not these Southern writers see that In
belittling General Grant they bclittie their
greatest and bravcst generals, who allowed
themselves to be conquered by an "ignordni
Oiundrreri" But fire away, gentlemen, you
can't harm our great captain who forced your
General Lee back upon his stronghold at
Richmond, and at length compelled him to
surrender his sword under the apple tree at
Appomattox

Tho Great Boat Race.

WORCESTER, July 2i.-Thc crowd Of spectr-
tors at Lake Quinsigomond exceeded that of
Wednesday last. Long excursion trains, with
two locomotives each, made repeated trips
from this city to the lake during the after
noon. Large numbers Of iadies were present,
It Is estimated that over won, ,. ave thousand
people were gathered AT the variou. points
around the lake. The fr,t race for wherries,
between Tyler, OF Boston, and MeKeel, of
Cold Spring, N. Y, distance two miller, was
won by the former in II minutes and 50
seconds.
The race by four-oared boats, for prize OF
s2eo, distance three miles, open TO all, was won
by the Ward brothers, easily, in twenty min
utes and fifteen aud n half seconds. II was
then followed by the six-oared race for tho
championship, between the crews OF the How
ard and Yale Universities, distance three miller.
As preparations were being made for the start
great excitement was manifested In the vicin.
ity OF the grand stsnd at the appearance OF
the Crews.
The spectators manifested great enthusiasm,
aud the men were loudly oheercd as they
walked down to their boats. Both crews were
In splendid condition. At $40 the boats started.
The Harvard boat got on best, with clear,
rapid dip and strong stroke. The Yale men
were slower, and their oars threw up some
spray. Deafening cheers saluted them from
all along the line OF shore, and from the hills
overlooking the lake.
At the first quarter Of mile, the Howard
boat had the lead by a length. This they
steadily increased all through the race, and
came home one eighth Of mile ahead Of
Yale.
The time OF the Towards was II minut, 3,
lsIS seconds. The Yales, Is minutes, 3slS sec.
onds. Great cheering followed the victory OF
the Towards.
lust ms the University race ended, the rain
fell In torrents, and the immense crowds dis
pcrscd in great haste. Everybody, however,
was well satisfied with the regatta, and the
race between the University boats Is unani-
mousiy considered one OF tho finest ever wit
messed In this country.
