What, asks the New York World, is
the name of the man who is now running
on the Radical ticket for the highest
Office in the gift of the American people Z
The convention which nominated him
calls him Ulysses S. Grant. Grants
father says that he named his son Hiram
Ulysses Grant, so that, dropping the
Hiram and conceding the Ulysses, what

count of his initials, ~. S. A super

was something providential about these

he was christened Hiram Ulysses; but
he was always called by the latter name,

patriot hero. Some time preceding the
battle of Richmond, Kentucky, he was
promoted for his gallantry as brigade
commander, the command OF his old
regiment devolviDg on their newly
elected Colonel F., who led them in the
aforesaid fight. The enemy were in
superior numbers, and being posted be-
hind formidable works, made 1t no easy
task to put them on the run. Assaulting
their front, bristling with artillery, was
sure destruction; SO they were ordered
to charge the flank, protected by an
almost impenetrable field of briars and
brambles, which stopped their further
progress. General Smith, seeing
the men of his old regiment in this con
dition, stuck in a wilderness of briars,
rode up to them. The sight of their for
mer commander seemed to inspire them
with renewed vigor. He ordered their
pocket knives to be brought into requl-
sition; in an instant thousand gllslen
in the sun; the briars speedily disap-
peared. With volley, a shout and q
yell, his old regiment pressed onward,
sweeping all before them, strewing the
ground with the dead and wounded, and
driving the blue coats from their strong
hold in utter dismay, and pursuing them
many miles from the field. 1t was a
clean sweep, with a peW knoscn broom.
General S. often asserted, of the many
fields cleared of Yankees, the cleanest of
them all was the battle field of Rich
mond; and, if the same spirit which ami
mated his old regiment pervaded the en-
tire army, the enemy would soon be
swept from our land, and we would be q
free and independent people. And, in
the future, boys" said General s., let
your rallying cry be pocket kniceS and
bayonets p
They adhered to this order as divine
injunction, aud on every battlefield
thereafter, when brought into action,
under the familiar cry of pocket-knives
and bayonets, they always conquered,
and planted their victorious banner on
the highest mound. Their old flag was
preserved through the war, and is now in
the keeping of a noble matron of the
State of Georgia, who cherishes il as a
precious relic Of the times that tried
men souls, and ms an affectionate SOU
venir ofthe Lost Cause.

Arkansas Election.

Information coming in from Little
Rock indicates, not that the Arkansas
black Constitution has been carried by
the vote cast, but that it will be 80 re-
ported. Frauds are now alledged to
have been practiced by the Registrars in
nearly every county, and in many in
stances the returns changed or sup
pressed. What will be the result OF such
a process, and whether it will overcome
the actual and undoubted vote cast,
remains to be seen. The entire regis.
tered voters of Pulaski and Jefferson
counties are unequal in number to the
msiorities the Radicals claim there.
The newly elected Legislature is about
assembling, being doubtless advised that
whatever may be the result of the vote
on the Constitution, they will be recog-
nized by Congress, and as in Alabama,
empowered for the present as the de
facto government of the State. This
election has been going on seventeen
days, and the result in the absence Of
official returns should therefore be ascer.
tanned with reasonable certainty. 1t is
the almost universal belief that in spite
of all the frauds, the constitution has
been defeated by 1000 votes. Ys. the
official report of Radical majority o.
two or three thousand was apprehended
at Little Rock yesterday. What the
Radical party cannot do by fair means
it is no Islander to say it viii do, when it
is practicable, by foul. 1t is not likely
the result Of this election will make any
difference with our Arkansas friends.
The congressional recoustructiOnists do
not intend to be thwarted in their plans
by "rebel votes.

General Howard.

Since this hero of the Freedmens Blu
reau has turned smalgamationist, he is
said to have become very rich and 10
have obtained possession Of immense
quantities of real estate. The Philsdel-
phia Age ascribes his reputation as
soldier mainly to political intrigue. The
Pittsburg Post gives the following further
account Of him:
The most prominent military event Of
his career was the surprise and total rout
of his corps by Stonewall Jackson, at
Charlottesville. This proved that Gen.
Howard was neither a vigilant nor q
skillful commander; rapidity Of move
ment was the only military quality which
he then displayed. We next hear OF
him, on the frst day at Gettysburg. be

nolds, but i'll supplied the loss Of that ae-
