That many Republicans are now COM
ing over to the Democratic side is Gel
tain and cheering. As sample of the
current and influences operating take
the following from the National Intel
lgencer
One member of the Grant family was
not trotted out at the Chicago Radical
Convention. This was Orville Grant,
Esq, brother of the General, and a
prominent and respected merchant In
Chicago. Although SO near at hand
as to render his presence very easily
obtainable, be was totally neglected,
and not allowed to render his tribute
to his great brothers many merits. The
state Of the case as we understand it, is
that Orville Grant refuses to vote for his
brother, considering him unit, by his
character and habits, to occupy the Presl-
dental chair; that he lately presented to
Chicago church, of which he is mem
Der, the sum Of $500, and to the Chicago
Democratic Club the sum Of $1,000
A clergyman who suggested to him that
it would have been better to reverse these
gifts was informed by Mr.. Grant, in reply,
that upon careful consideration of the
state of the country aud the character Of
the two candidates, he thought he ought
to have doubled the present to the Demo
cratic clab 1t is also said that Mr.. Gage,
proprietor Of the Sherman Heuse, at Chi
cago, who would have voted the Repub-
lican ticket had another candidate been
nominated, is now for Seymour, and will
ing that the Democratic clubs of Chicago
should make his celebrated hotel their
headquarters. Another indication Of the
way the tide is setting in that city, was
the presence of FIVE or six hundred Re-
publicans at the Seymour ratification
meeting in Chicago. who cheered as lus
tily as any of the Democrats.

The Louisiana Legislature called on
Grant to protect the State against domes-
tic violence. The Constitution requires
such protection, and an act Of Congress
refers to the President as the only proper
person to be called on In such case
The Governor of the State vetoed on nc
count Of this informally, and the Legis-
lature amended by addressing its resolu'
ton to tho President. That alters the
matter. The President may be more
willing than General Grant would
be to inquire into the facts, and see
whether the applicants for his aid
are net the real insurgents, instead oil
others against whom they are making
their cutlery. The only rebels in Louisi-
ana and Tennessee, the only men dis
posed to domestic violence and breaches
the peace, are those very carpetbag legis'
lators and their followers, which the Pres
ident knows. So that if he ever inter-
feres, either there or here, it will not be
likely to be exclusively in the interest OF
the offending carpet bag rabble.

Suggestions


For the agricultural and horticultural Societies
Of KeaoSha County.
We have been requested by gentlemen con-
nected with the County Agricultural Society,
to suggest for the consideration of both that
Society and the Horticultural Society, the pro-
priety and expedieney of uniting in an effort
for the mutual convenience of each at the
State Fair to be held at Madison. The Ag-
ricGltural Society is the owner of large tent
fifty feet in diameter, and constructed of good
material. 1t is proposed to take this tent to
Madison and erect it on the Fair Grounds. Il
will afford accommodations sufficient for both
Societies. Among the advantages to be de-
rived from this arrangement would be the fol-
lowing
1t would furnish a convenient head quarters
for all who might attend the State Fair from
this county.
1t would afford a convenient place of depos-
1t for all articles not in readiness to he put on
exhibition, or withdrawn from exhibition
also place for the storage of baggage, etc.
1t would render the time spent at the State
Fair more enjoyable, because it would bring
those VINO are acquainted with each other in
one company. 1t would obviate the disagree
ability OF being quartered among strangers at
the hotels, which are usually crowded on such
occasions.
1t would prove a great economy in living
expenses for all such as might regard hotel
living as pecuniarily burdensome. Those be
longing to the tent might procure their meal;
at any of the eating establishments. or eating
and sleeping arrangements might be provided
for in the tent itself, if deemed advisable so tC
do.
The foregoing are some of the advantages
which might be derived from an arrangement
such as suggested. 1t has been thought prop
er to mention the proposal thus early, so tina
there may be time for deliberation and actor
after a full canvass OF the matter.
