hcan Journals object to General Gran,
that .he h never sisni6ed his assent te
thsir principles, deserves notice I, and
consideration. OF the steadiness and
staunchness Of Gen. Grants patriotism,
or the uprightneas and solidity Of hi.
character, no man IN the country doubts
or affects to doubt. / The most perfec.
loyalty, then, may stand With the most
absolute Indifference to those objects
which the Republican party regard a.
supreme. Or, to express the same idea
differently, devotion to the Republican
shibboleth is no test of devotion to the
country. On the score Of loyalty and
solid public services, no man in the
country can come into competition with
this llustrious soldier But measure
him By the usual Loyal League stand
ard, and it requires magnifying glass
Of very extraordinary power to. discov-
CT that he has any patriotism at all
The Tribune is clamorous to have Gen.
Grant show his colors and take SIDES
in the party squabbles of the day.. We
rejoice that there is one man in the
country who Is above the necessity OF
such belittling partisanship. We trust
that General Grant loves his whole
country; that he desires the good Of
all its citizens, without regard TO- any
dividing l'nes-whether they be lines
. Of party, Or section, C.. race, or color.
Il L is the noblest reward Of great servi-
ees ike his, that it exalts the character
to Il this high level; that it enables ..
man to act nobly without appearing to
be pretentious. General Grant is under
moral necessity of respecting the
great renown Of his past services. Its
beneath him to play any common part:
IN N; vulgar politics. The Presidency can
be nothing to him /; he has . more v.l-
liable office. But if, in the lands of
Providence, he could be an instrument
for tEanquilizing the country, that is
an honor for which he could afford n
sacrifice ease, congenial pursuits, and
the possibilities of still greater fame IS
= soldier. God forbid that he should
descend into the arena of party contests.
II he cannot be elected President with
out such a descent, he can do no good
in the Presidency. Our torn, lacerat-
ed, exasperated country needs soothing,
needs paci6cation, needs oil on the
troubled waters, which still toss and
dash after the recent tempest. We
would no more have General Grant be-
come . party politician than, if he had
lived in Washington's time, We would
have wished him to give in return par
ty blows. As Washington was elected
and reelected on the strength of his
character and services, without pledges
either asked OF given, We trust that
Gen. Grant will be elected, if At all, in
I the e same way aud with the same gener-.
Gus confidence. Having restored the
authority Of the Government, We hope
that he may add the highest civic to
the highest military fame by restoring.
longg-lost eordiality Of feeling.

to all the people as a straightforward
man, and SO far as can be judged
man well disposed to deal fairly with
the people Of all sections of the Union.
Certainly it such man we're nomina-

Hancock. Grant and Mrs. Surratt.

A radical paper says Gen. Hancock was
the hangman of. Mrs. Surratt. Well, we
suppose if Gen. Grant had ordered Hancock
not to permit MrsS.to he hung, she wouldn't
have been hung. The radicals neglected to
tell Grant to issue any such order. No
doubt General Hancock had about as much
to do with hanging Mrs. Surratt as Gen.
Grant required Of him, but we presume if
Gen. Hancock had had his own way Mrs.
Surratt would not have been hung, but a
few such Union assassinators as Phillips,
Sumner and Stevens would have ornament
ed the platform upon which she stood, and
from which she swung. II the radicals
mean to say that Mrs. Snrratt was hung
uniustly, let them say it. We can agree with
them on that proposition. She was arrested
by radicals, unjustly convicted by radicals
at least Ben. Butler, the rfeanest radical of
them all, says so-and she was hung with
the appreciation and by the consent of Gen.
Grant, the radical candidate for president. -
If, therefore, she was justly hung, Gen.
Grant and not Gen. Hancock, is entitled to
the credit, and if unjustly, the radicals who
ordered her to be hung, are to blame for it.

THE QUINCY HERALD AID AUSTIN
BROOKS.

The name of Austin Brooks is insepara
bly, connected with that sterling democratic
newspaper, the Quincy Herald, and they
ought never to have been separated. Some
two years ago he left the paper and went to
Hannibal, Missouri. Now, in common with
the democracy of the whole state, and es-
pecially of this congressional district, we re.
IoIce to learn, as we do by the Herald of the
list, that he has returned to his old position,
as chief editor and controller of its columns.
For twenty-five years he labored for the
cause OF democracy, in the Herald and for
the interests of his town. No editor has
done so much for the advancement of demo
cratic principles in Illinois as Austin Brooks.
and no man has worked with more zeal and
effect for the benefit of his town. He has no
equal, as campaign editor, in Illinois, and
we are happy to know that we shall have his
aid, IN the coming contest, in redeeming Ill
lnois and the 4th district, next fall. With
Brooks IN the Herald office, that paper will
again take Its proper position as one of the
leading newspapers in Illinois.

VIM, Sailors Case.

The case of the State OF Iowa VS.. VIM.
Sailor, which has been before the distinct
court for the past two days, was decided TO-
day, the jury bringing in verdict of cum
mon assault. We understand that ma ori-
ty of the Jury were in favor of finding yer-
dict for assault with intent to commit rape,
but the evidence as to intention was not con
elusive. hence the verdict for assault only.
The defendant was fined 500.
This case comes from our nelghb0ring
city, Davenport, where, according to the tes-
timony, VIM. Sailor, fast young man OF
that city, while accompanying young lady
from church, on the night of the 5th OF June
last, threw her down in secluded pat of
the walk and used other violence, from which
he only desisted on account of her screams.
The young lady was employed as nurss in
the family of James Armstrong, Esqr., Uni
ted States collector for this district Her
case seems to have excited much sympathy
The young man, though claiming to e a
member Of the baptist church and rood
templar, appears TO have borne a hard lame
for some time.-Nnscatine Journal.
The Davenport Gazette SAYS: IA the
Young man has been arrested two or ,lree
times before for misconduct, he should en-.
deavor, for the sake of his relatives If not
for his own. to turn over new leaf, and de
termine to tn and be man. He is young
vet, and can BY correct conduct merit the
good opinion of society; If not thus disposed.
he can do otherwise and suffer the conse-
uuences."

A word to Democrats.

The Chicago Times advises every demo-
crat who wishes to promote the success of
his party, and help break down and drive
from power the corrupt organization now
ruling the government, can most efficiently
do so by the circulation of democratic news
papers. The radicals have all the patron
age OF the government to aid them and are
taxing Office holders of all kinds for the pur.
pose of flooding the country with their cam
pnign documents.
The democratic party was formerly noted
for its tact in managing political campaigns,
but its successive defeats of late years have
seriously impaired the effectiveness of its
organizations. The elections of last fall, BY
the good ground for hope they afford Of a
decisive victory next year, should encour-
age every s,ember of the party to work dill
igently for its success. For the reasons
named, its opponents will start with advan-
tages which can only be overcome by sacri-
ices by individual democrats. The truths

Stamps in Her Stockings.

A gentleman was travelling in the south
unattached and unincumbered, and, in order
to gain admission TO the superior comforts
of the ladies' car, he used to assist some
incumbered lady travelling alone, and nay
her such respectful attentions as her helpless
condition seemed to require.
Once, going from Jackson, Mss, to New
Orleans, he had assisted a very buxom wo-
man with a quantity of small parcels, and
had otherwise rendered her such small ser
vices as any gentleman, having it in his
power, would render to lady travelling
alone.
On arriving at New Orleans, the same re-
spectful attentions caused him to find him,
self seated next to her in the omnibus.
Preparatory to starting, the conductor re-
quired his fare. When her turn came, after
several mysterious struggles and plung es.
with her lap full of traps, she raised her head
and said "Mister, guess you're preach
er, bent YEP guess there amt any harm
in you. When l travels | alters carries my
stamps in my stockin', cause you see nothin'

here that I'd thank you, old man, Just to

Out of Employment.

From all parts of the United States We
hear reports that great numbers of p@ple
are being thrown out of employment in con
sequence OF dull times in the leading tasi
nesses of the country. In the city of New
York not less than FIVE thousand emplo7ees
were set adrift on New Years day, and the
aggregate number of persons now out o. en-
ployment in that city is estimated at eighty
thousand. The mills of New England and
many of the great manufacturing establish.
ments in various parts of the country are
discharging help and cutting down wages
