The Republicans took him up merely
for availability, or rather he was forced
upon the party by such utterly selfish
men as Washburne, Horace White and
Russell Jones, in order to advance their
own political interests. Thousands in
the party now see that this premature
forcing of a candidate upon it was most
fatal error. But having gone SO far, it is
impossible at this late day to recede. !
have no doubt Grant himself would glad
ly decline to run at Chicago. He is just
selfish enough to hopelessly wreck the
Republican organization in order to get
himself out Of tight spot, but the
men who control him will not let
him do this by declining the nomination
When Grant consulted the most honor
able and ablest man in his staff General
Rawlins) as to the probability of his de-
clination, i am. informed that that gen
tleman informed him that declination
at this stage of the game, would simply
be infamous. So that Grant must eight

party is so committed to him, and he to
it. that both must rise or fall together.
To this complexion has the Republican
party come. And this is the exact sit
uation7 of affairs to-day. according to the
best information in my possession. The
Radical papers will, of course, gloss over
the situation, but they cannot wipe out
the record as above set forth.

QuittTnE Grant.

sal The Radical press processes to be
pleased with the New York nominations.
This is very gratifying, asit rarely hap
pens that both parties are so well .satis-
fed. The Democracy, from all indica.
tions, accept the ticket with unusual
manifestations Of approval, while the
Conservatives everywhere who have
never actively participated with them
before plant themselves squarely upon
the platform, and go for the ticket with
zeal. Our opponents of the press will
have to be careful lest they go too far in
this assumed qualification, or the defec-
tions from their party win decimate their
ranks. Already in our own midst gaps
have been made by accessions from their
body, and the same result is being wit
messed elsewhere. We have only had
two meetings of our Seymour and Blair
Club, and on each occasion there have
been enrolled the names of former mem
bers of the Grant Club, who decline
longer to support the Radical ticket. To
all such we bid hearty welcome, and
extend the hand of cordial fellowship

A Sons Feeling. Outraged.

A few days since, an old man who
with his son had been living in shanty
near Pentwater, Michigan, was taken
sick and died. The son, a young man,
securing friend to watch the corpse, left
for the village to make arrangements for
the burial of his fathers remains. Re-
turning pretty late in the evening, he
found his friend, whom he had left to
watch the corpse, sitting under a tree
some distance from the shanty, and,
looking at the corpse of his progenitor,
saw that cat had eaten one of his
cheeks in shocking manner, which
fact terribly riled the young mans ami
able temper, and he rushed out, exclaim-
ing with an oath, "You are pretty fel-
low, you are; you have been fddling
away there, and let a cat gnaw fathers
face, so he amt fit to go to hell % 70 e

Testing Wrought Iron by Magnet

When wrought iron bar is placed in
the magnetic equator. that is in direc-
ton at right angles to that of the mag
netic north and south, it becomes tempo
rarily magnetic, one side having north,
the other south polarity, If now a
magnetic needle be placed in front of the
bar ard moved along parallel with the
latter, it will not be disturbed in point
ing due north and south as long as the
iron Of the bar is homogeneous; but
whenever, there is the slightest flaw, its
polarity will be effected and it will devil
ate from a proper direction opposite the
affected part. Repeated experiments
have been made with bars supposed to
be homogeneous, and examination at the
point of disturbance always revealed a
defect. A small pin of steel inserted
longitudinally in a four-inch wrought
iron bar, and welded up, was accurately

In Justice to General Frank Blair. W,

Injustice to General Frank Blair, we
can truly state that we heard him speak
in 1860 in opposition to secession, and SO
bitter was the feeling of the people of
Western Missouri that his life was
threatened, but he needed not the threats.
Again, in the same locality, in 1865, he
spoke in opposition to Radicalism, and
the bitterness of feeling of the Radicals
again threatened his life. But neither
time did he fail to carry out his pro-
gramme. Firm in his convictions, and
bold in the expression of them, he can be
depended upon to do whatever to him
seemeth his dnty.-Bour6on Democrat.

He knows nothing of craftsmanship. He
is a Ounce in bellies Iettres. He is nov

on laws that govern the material uni

and look ,owlish. In this last sentence
YOU have the character and habits of
the, man. Before Grants treachery and
downright falsehood to johnson, the
neopIe considered him frank, honest
soldier, whose word was as good as his
bond. They found themselves wofully
deceived. Ever since that treachery
and deceit to the man whose friend he
had pretended to be, and from whom he
virtually acknowledged he accepted a
prominent position only that he might
betray him into the hands of his enc
mics, Grant has been rapidly sinking in
