There is something ominous about
the way Brick Pomeroy defends the
assassination Of Lincoln, and directly,
and indirectly, from day 10 day in-
cites to the murder Of Grant.
We clip the following closing sen
tience, from . long editorial in the
last No. Of his paper, dated Dec. I'd,
which seems to indicate Gen. Grants
predetermined assassination before
his time expires:
ain proof of which we invite the
public to carefully scan our columns.
for the next four years, or for the frac.
tional part thereof While the General
shall remain in office.
One thing can be depended on, and
that is that if Gen. Grant follows
the way of Mr.. Lincoln, the soldiers
who followed their beloved leader
through SO many campaigns, vii
raze to the ground all the, assassinar
tion printing offices in the country
and hound off the face Of the cart
