There are some Democrats who
are NOT So totally blinded by parti-
san prejudice as to be unwilling to
admit the greatness, patriotism and
unparalleled merits of Gen. Grant
A short time since John Quincy
Adams, Jr., the Democratic nomi-
nee for Governor of Massachusetts,
made a speech at Springfield, in that
State, in which he paid the follow
ing voluntary tribute to our beloved
Captain: 19av hi.

a bad General, an incompetent man.

not the honor of his acquaintance,
but when I am told he is no soldier,
I can ouly say "Donelson;'' when
you say he is a dolt, my heart re-
spends, "Vicksburg;" and when !
hear of his intcmperance, can only
quote Mr. Lincoln, and wish he had
more Generals in the army who
knew his tipple. No, gentlemen, he
finished the war, and that is enough
to entitle him to my respect and adj

Rumor says that when G. Berry Jr.
approached certain soldier, with a
request that he vote the Demo cratic
ticket, received substantially the
following reply:
"You threw my vote out when I
was in the army and it is no better
now" To which Mr.. B. rejoined ::
''D-n it, let that matter drop"
We are informed that Vallandig-
ham would also like to drop some
things, but the people of his Dis
trict dropped him so low that it will
require an army of angels to resur-
rect him.
Hurral for Schenck, the patriot
and soldier.

A correspondent of some Eastern
paper, writing from West Point, Ne
braska, says that the statement that
grasshoppers are devastating the
State are erroneous and prejudiced
to the vital interests Of the young
State. The harvest last year has
been very large. The average yield
Of the wheat crop in Northern Ne
braska will exceed twenty eight
bushels per acre, and in some cases
thirty have been threshed.
The oat crop will yield seventy five
bushels per acre. Grasshopper sto-
ries are exaggerations; we have a
few, but they have done US no mate
rial damage.

MORE CoPPErHERD OUTRAGEs.-
The Mansfield Herald oflast week
says:
Another example of Democratic
meanness was given in independence
this county last Thursday night.
Henry G. Hedges, Esq land H. P.
Davis, our Post Master, were an
nounced to speak at that place, and
in pursuance of their engagement.
drove down in covered buggy, on
the evening annouced. A very
large and interesting meeting held
in the Babtist church, sand was prog
crossing favorably, when some mis-
creant commenced throwing stones
from the outside of the building,
through the windows, one earring
away sash and all. Many stones
were then hurled through, and al
though no one was seriously injured
it was certainly not on the good in
tentions of the vandals who perpe-
the assault Considering that Wo-
men and children were present, it
was most dastardly and cowardly
way to display Democratic principles
After the speaking was concluded
and Messrs. Hedges and Davis, re
turned to the tavern where they
had left their buggy, they found the
top had been cut entirely to pieces
and was completely destroyed.
Stones were also thrown after
them as they were leaving town but
without doiEg any injury.

The New York World says the
Blair letter was what did the busi-
nesforthe Democratic party, and that
the party must be cleared of the as
pensions cast upon it on account of
that letter, in order to have any
hope of success. And then it gives
the decided hint to Blair to take
himself off Of the ticket:
The party, as a body, has no 9th
er means of clearing itself of this in
furious imputation than by futil con
tradiction in its public journals but
there are individuals who can eXtin
guish this Calumny in a moment,
and silence it forever, and this must
be done if we want to win the elec
ton. This is time for plain talk,
and we hope we have spoken inteli-
gibly enough for those whom it most
concerns to take our meaning.
The euphuistic person who was
kicked down stairs, described it as a
hint that his company was not agre-
able. This hint TO Blair is as much
like kick as can be done metaphor
ically. 1t plainly means, Get out
with your odorous carcass.

Slow INDEED.-The patience ot
the American people was unneces-
sarily tried by the very tedious pro
cess by which the result of the re-
cent elections was attained. Moth
ing but a total absence of system
can account for this. And it is very
provoking, because with little exer
ton and care, the general result
could be known the following day
after an election.
Now we have a suggestion to
make, which, if adopted, would
avoid even the necessity of the cit
izens ofa town waiting for three
or four hours after the polls ore clos
ed, to learn the result. We would
have four men of recognized integri
ty 1.-TWO Of each party) appointed.
whose duty it should be to count
the ballots, that is the number of
Republican and Democrat, and as
soon as completed, announce the
general result to the public, after
which they may go on and count the
usual way for official reports. Thus
in few minutes, after the closing
ofthe polls, the public could be ad
vised Of the result of elections.--
The account Of the ballots would
give very approximate figures as
but few ballots are generally scratch
ed. There should be a general un-
derstanding and co operation ON
the part of those making out the re-
turns. Whatever may he done.
there is certainly plenty of ro ON for
radical Improvement, in regard to
this matter, and we hope it will be
made. a

Getting Over the Fence.

The rush of a wild bull never
caused greater stampedein q crowd
than has the October elections
among time servers and politicians of
a calculating turn Of mind. Those
astride the fence are jumping down
to the Republican side at lively
rate, caring little whether they fall
head or heels up SO long as they
get down, and crowds Of those on
the Democratic side are scrambling
over with more haste than dignity.
In their hurry they leave their old
principles and professions behind,
and forget even to bring along a
carpet bag.
The army of Office holders and
office seekers in Washington are
jumping like sheep over a broken
gate, finding the Democratic pasture
suddenly bare and the Republican
crop fresh and juicy. The gentle
men of Conservative tendencies who
were prominent candidates before
the New York Convention, and were
willing to do any dirty work to get
Democratic pay, have now become
suddenly virtuous, and hold their
noses as they turn away from the
foul party. Even "old Rosey," who
but week or two since was hob
nobbing with rebels in the interest
Of the Democracy, now abandons
the party in disgust because it is
given over to the rebels c. Herald

CHICAGO, Oct. 16.

The demand of the New York
World with reference to a change in
the Democratic Presidential ticket
has struck dismay to the hearts of
the Democracy hereabouts. At an
early hour this morning the Times
made haste to place conspicuous
poster upon their window, inform
ing the unterrified that 1.-THE World S
coup d'et0t is movement of no
force, and that the names of Sey-
mour and Blair will remain on their
ticket to the bitter end"
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 16.
General Mahlon D. Manson, who
was the Democratic candidate tor
Secretary Of State two years ago,
and the candidate for Congress this
year against Oorth, cannot swallow
the new Democratic movement
He can not now consistently aban-
don Seymour, but will vote for Grant
if he is thrown overheard, and his
obligation removed.
James F. Mitchell, late Democrat
ic candidate for Prosecuting Attor
ney in this district is out for Grant.
