Gen, Grant and his Acousers,

Notwithstanding Gen. Grant since his
nomination for the Presidency, has been
slanderously assailed by the Democratic
presses of the country in almost every
conceivable form, yet we have deemed it
almost unnecessary to reply to any of
these attacks. The facts are simply these
up to the time it became manifest, that
Gen. Grant was to be the Republican
nominee for the Presidency, the newspaper
presses throughout the northern States
Democratic as well as Republican, bore
testimony to his honesty, fidelity and su-
perior ability. His praises came from all
quarters, without distinction of party.
Now inasmuch as none of the charges
brought against Gen. Grant by Democratic
journals and speakers, are alledged to
have occurred since his nomination for
President, it must be apparent toany can
did mind, that they are mere fabrications
for political effect IF the witnesses who,
one year ago and more, spoke in terms OF
respect and commendation of Gen Grant,
now traduce and SANDER him, what credi-
bility are they entitled to? The great
majority of those, who are now engaged
in reviling Gen. Grant, were not long
since his friendsand eulogists, Those who
are now the political enemies Of Gen
Grant, pretend to no new discoveries in
his history; what is now known of him
was known before he became Presiden-
tial candidate. If therefore, those who
pronounced favorable judgement on Gen
Grant, now pronounce against him on The
facts Of his history, are they witnesses tc
be believed?

The Mutton hits the political nail ON the
head when it declares that the recent Re
publican gains in Vermont are .because
Hampton and Vallandigham were per
united to make themselves the present
leaders OF the Democratic party" It adds,
practically, the people are asked to saw
that we ought to give tonegro back to his
old owner, and substituted South Carolina
Black Code for the Civil Rights Bill. On
that issue Vermont, at any rate, seems to
have its mind made up The effects will
no doubt be good in Maine, and re dare

Terrible Condition Of Affairs in Tennessee.

AO1llUAo OOuulGAou VI affairs III tennessee,
The accounts from Tennesse, represent
affairs III many portions of the State in a
condition of anarchy, misrule and violence.
An official report has recently been made
to the Legislature of Tennessee in session
in which frightful list of crime is exhib-
tied. Murder, arson and robbery, are
matters of daily occurrance In many
localities, the lives and property of the
loyal whites, are constantly endangered,
and many are forced to flee from their
homes to escape assassination The or
ganization, known as Ku Klux, have be-
come so formidable and SO bold in their
villanies, as to keep the freedmen in a
constant state of alarm for their personal
safety From careful investigation, it has
been found that the past six months have
averaged one murder day These ap-
paling facts are not based on irresponsible
reports, they rest ON the testimony taken
by properly constituted committee.
And who are the men engaged in these
bloody massacres of loyal whites and ne
groes They adopt the Democratic plat
form, and shout vociferously for Seymour
and Blair. They claim to be pure Nation
al Democrats, and are laboring earnestly
for the success of the Democratic candid
ates. These are the men, who are now in
tent on regaining their lost ascendancy in
the government-the men with whom the
northern Democracy, are now united in a
common cause.

PHYSICAL CHANGES ON THE EASTERN
CoAsT.-The Round Table says that re-
cent Investigations reveal the fact that
the coasts Of New Brunswick, Prince Ed
wards Island, New Jersey, and portion
OF the Eastern Atlantic shore are gradual
y uprising, while those of the Bay of
Funday and Greenland are slowly sinking.
Should this phenomenon continue for ten
centuries, the map of the Ameri can CONT
nent would in 1900 present an entirely
different appearance. The Hudson's Bay
and Jersey shores would become fruitful
valleys, with countless inland seas. Where
now the Banks of Newfoundland lie, there
would then be peninsulas connected with
the main land as the banks of St. George
are at present. The passage from Ireland
to America would then take only four days.
The whole Atlantic coast of the United
States would be advanced as far as the
bend made by Gulf Stream, and the small
islands, banks, and rocks of the Bahamas
would fuse into larger islrnds, resembling
those OF the West India group.

CHANCES IN THE w EST.-Lucius Fair

Peter Cooper as follows ''There is no

while in all the young Western States
there are millions Of acres yet unsold,

who will come and take them The man
who comes West with no other capital
than health, and a Willingness to work,
can locate farm under the Homestead
laws" By one years labor he can Law
aside money enough to buy tools and a
team. In three years, with average crops
he can build good frame house and barn,
and have plenty garner and store such
instances we see by scores in every town

West, In our inland cities and villages,
which are growing with marvellous rapid
ity is constant demand for the labor
OF mechanics and laborers of every kind
compared with the prices Of living, they
are paid high wages, and in very short
time they can save enough from their
earnings to buy snug homesteads pleas
antly and BEAUTIFULLY situated, and afford

schools
None who are blessed with health need
remain poor among u.s. The vast resources
of this fertile region have as yet but be-
gun to be developed. Notwithstanding
the great tide of emigration from the
Eastern States and foreign countries,
which has for years been pouring in upon
US, the VESTS still comparatively sparsely

there is yet abundance of room.
