Why Gen. Grant Should be Nomi-
mated,

The Central Grant Club Of St.
Louis, through their committee, give
the following cogent reasons for the
nomination of Gen. Grant for the
Presidency:
because he is au honest mau, and
hos proved himself to be a patriot,
because he isa man of the people,
sprung from their ranks and devoted
to their interests; because he is pos.
scssed Of those rare qualities so nee.
essary in Chief Magistrate amidst
the present political complications,
viz; practical common sense, untlinch.
ing determination Of purpose, and
clear discrimination Of men and
measures; because no will practice
aud ouforce the most rigid economy
in every department of the Govern
ment; because his views on the cues.
ton of reconstruction are in har.
mony with those of Congress; be.
cause he will mete out equal and
exact justice to all, without reference
to condition, color or nationality; be.
cause he is magnanimous, aud will
administer the Government on the
literal and progressive principles of
the Republican pa5y; because he can
place our ananeial system on a solid
basis, and Nitatizc our commerce at
home aud abroad; because he has the
will to give weight to our nationality
among the nation, will settle up the
Alabama claims, or "moye immediate.
ly On tho works of the enemy" be.
cause he will see that our lag DO re- |
speo,ed by all other uations, how. |
ever powerful, aud will protect our |
naturaliEed citizens whenever or
wherever their rights may be assail. |
ed or their liberties abridged; because
General Grant is to- day the first
choice Of an overwhelming majority |
Of the Amsrican people for the next /
Chief Magistrate" The formation |
nf Grant clubs in every town aud
State is earnestly recommended.

The Mines Of Oolorado-True Me-
talliferous Vein.

Mr.. o. ]. Hollister, 10 a recent
work on the above subject, speaks as
follows;
"a true vein is a fssure in the
solid crust Of the earth, of indefinite
length and depth, which has been
hlled more or less perfectly with
mineral substances; or, in other words
an aggregation Of mineral matter ac-
eompanied by metalliferous ores with.
In crevice or fissure which had its
origin in some deep seated cause, and
may be presumed to extend for an in.
definite distance downward. True
veins sometimes attain a length of
several miles. They vary much in
thickness, and nobody has ever yet
seen the under edge Of one. They
are the principal repositories of the
useful materials, and their cxplora-
tion is matter of lasting Importance
Involving the employment of both
skill and capital. They are rarely
found singly, but rather in groups,
often in complicated network
crowded into a narrow space. This
is so true of Cornwall and Saxony
that centuries have not fully devel.
oped even the facts concerning them.

Senator Morton's Great Speech.

Tho correspondent Of the New
York Tribune writes as follows Of
Senator MortOu's great speech on the
policy of Congress-
"I'he great event Of the day and Of

galleries were densely iilled with an
audience such as seldom sits through
a political discussion, and not one
who heard the opening sentences left
before the oloseof tho great argument.
The homage of such profound atten-
ton as was manifested is not oiten
paid At the conclusion Of the
speech, tho Senators present flocked
around Mr., Morton in perfect mob |

Reduction of the Public Dobt,

IN his report on the United States
revenue Commissioner Wells makes
tho following gratifying statements
which ought 70 confound Tho dema.
gogues who shriek for reputation and
assert that the Republican party has
Sxtravagantly administered the Gov.
ernmont.
"Tno United Staios is tLe only one
Of tho leading nations Of the world
which is at present materially dimin
ishing It's debt and reducing It's taxes;
and the only one moreover, which Of.
fers any substantial evidence of its
ability to pay its debt within any def /.
nato period, or even anticipates the
probability Of any such occurrence. "
In proof Of these statements Mr
Wells addpces statistics showing that
"Tho United States on the 3fst of
August, 1865, TO the 3lst Of October
1867, substantially y reduced It's liabili.
ties by the sum Of over two hundred
aud sixty-six millions Of dollars. or at
an average rate of over ten millions

RAILROAD PROSPECTS,

eastward from Toledo, and giving that
prosperous city an additional connec.

and indicated clearly that IL would be
completed at an early day, on ono Of
two routes One line proposed, be-.

thence by Norwalk and Fremont to
Toledo. The other route runs from
Toledo direct to Tifiu, aud thence to
New London, West Salem and Mas.

1t 10 proposed to extend tho line
from the latter point, to junction
with tho StcubcnviIle & Indiana road
in Jefferson County.
A Committee has been designated
to meet at Norwalk, on the 18th, to
hear reports as to the two routes, and
determine as to tho line to bo built.
Our people, Of course, arc anxious,
and are doing all in their power to
secure the proposed road Means

1t is understood that the people
between these two places, will offer
TO tho new Company, the road, with
all the work done on it, and a free
right Of wGy from Tiiin to New Lon

we are informed East aud west Of

Secretary Of State.

We are informed that the friends
of General Isaac Il. Sherwood, of
Williams county, will present his
name to the Republican State Con-
veption as a candidate for Secretary
of State. Although this is the first
public announcement of such design.
we have reasons for the belief that
Gen. Sherwood's name will be re-.
ceiyed with much favor wherever
known, and especially in North
western Ohio. OF his fitness for the
place, no acquaintance can entertain
a doubt, while in personal character,
loyalty to the Union at home and in
field, and in sound political principle
none can excell him. Entering the
army as the bearer of a musket, he
served in nearly every position from
the ranks to the command of his reg.
iment (the l1lth), and was mustered
out only when the surrender of the
rebel armies made his services no lon
ger necessary.
We feel every assurance, that
Northwestern Ohio will be unit in
the presentation of the name of Gen.
Sherwood, and in view of tho very
meager representation of this section
Of the country in the State House.
especially uueer Republican rule, we
cannot doubt that such .ss,;ss,s viii mi

one, constitute the entire attention
