How VIII the Soldiers Votes

Throughout the War for the Union, the
party which received the vote of every op-
ponent of that War-every one who deemed
it War of invasion and aggression on the
part of the North stoutly claimed the rank
and file Of our Volunteer "Boys in Blue" as
recruited from its ranks and devoted to its
principles. A majority of the officers, it as
serted, might be upholders of the Lincoln
Despotism !" but the men without shoulder
straps were Democrats, as their votes would
prove.
"Then," we suggested, "let US unite in so
altering our laws, and our Constitutions,
too, where that shall be necessary, as to en-
able every citizen who, during War, shall
be necessarily absent from home, whether in
camp or hospital, as a soldier of the Union,
to vote as though he were at home"
Not one single Democratic Legislature closed
aoith this proposition. New-Jersey, Indiana,
Illinois, chose Democratic Legislatures in
1862: so their soldiers were no. allowed to
vote for President in 1864. Nearly every
Republican State, with Kentucky and Mary
land, then ruled 10y earnest Unionists, ena-
bled their soldiers to vote in the field. Gen.
Mcclellan was the Democratic nominee
for President. He long commanded the
largest of our Armies, and was for time
General-in. Chief; he studied to ingratiate
himself with his soldiers, was kind to and
popular with them. If he could not secure
their votes, no other man of his party could.
In this State, the soldiers votes were so
cast that no one could say how they voted
in most States, it was otherwise. Here is
the aggregate vote of the soldiers, in every
State from which we have returns:

Total

INoTE.-Missouri and Colorado soldiers voted nj
previous electons-almost all Republican-but moi
dstinctively for President in '64.
The soldiers of Pennsylvauia, Ohio, Iowa, Califor.
mia, and Wisconsin, voted likewise in 63, as did
most Of them in '62, with results substantially iden.
tcal with those exhibited in the foregoing table of
the vote cast in '64
The soldiers of several States who had
not yet been mustered out of service when
their elections for 1865 occurred respectively
voted again, with results substantially like
the foregoing. In no year of the War, was
the Republican vote less than three fourths
Of all that cast by volunteers in service.
Such being the recorded facts, we submit
that the pretense Of getting up Convention
of Union soldiers to oppose the election OF
Grant and Colfax surpasses all recognized
bounds of partisan imposture. Not that
there are 20 good soldiers who dislike and
oppose him-we know there are such but
they are scarce as white blackbirds. The
bulk of the soldier vote against Grant will
be cast by Confederate, not Union, soldiers
By the men whom he defeated, captured,
and paroled, and who have personal reasons
for preferring such antagonists as Buell.
Franklin, Fitzjohn Porter, and Mcclellan
If Robert L. Lee could be induced to unite
in the anti. Grant call and preside over the
Convention when assembled, he would give
it respectability and force; but Couven.
tion of Union soldiers to oppose Gen. Grant
is too broad joke for the season. 1t was
wise to hold it in this bountyjumping city
where all sorts of meetings can be got up to
order if the proper appliances are used but
the honoraIly discharged Union volunteers
are almost solid for Grant, as the returns OF
next November will prove. A Convention
in 1887 of Revolutionary soldiers to oppose
the election of Gen. Washington to the
Presidency, or of defenders of New. Orleans
in 1928 to defeat the election of Old Hick
ory, would not have been more preposter-
GUS than is the attempt in 1868 to muster
an army of Union soldiers in opposition to
the election of Gen. Grant.-N Y. Tribune

How 10 succeed In Business.

The widc-awake, hard working men are
the most successful business men of our large
cities Neither wealth nor honorable posi-
tions can be picked up in the streets like
lost money. They must be obtained by
steady, uncompromising labor. The New
York correspondent of the Boston Journal
shows how young man of that city work
ed and persevercd until he became cashier
of the bank where he was first employed as
an errand hoy: ...
The cashier of one of our leading banks
resigned some time since, and the paying
teller was Immediately elected to fill his
place. He was quite young man, and was
promoted over the heads of those who had
been in the bank many years in subordiate
positions
The secret of the promotion is well worth
knowing:
He entered the bank when quite young.
lie resolved to make himself useful. Living
farthest away-some miles out of the city
he was the first at his post in the morning.
Having the farthest to go, he was the last
to leave He never was afraid to work, and
never hesitated to lend hand when his
own duties were done. Others would go
out to restaurants aud hotels for their lunch.
He brought his with him and ate it in lit
tie closet. rra. H-.
For his own pleasure he never left the
bank during business hours. If any of the
clerks wanted to go away he was always
ready 10 take their place. He could always
be found aud was prompt at any call: His
spare time was devoted to an intelligent
study of his business. As paying teller he
was very popular. He was never snappish
or ungentlemanly. Growing, gru'mbling,
unreasonable customers could not irritate
him. He overstayed his time to accommo-
date men who were belated with their
checks. ...r ...-,......s.-
AS cashier, he is the same genial, sgrees-
BILE, prompt officer that he was in subordi-
nate life. Men disappointed in their dis
counts take refusal from the cashier with
better spirit than they do an accommoda.
tion from some men. He still keeps up his
habits of close attention to business, and
takes his frugal lunch in his closet, as he
did when struggling for position. Those
who fail in life, or are desiring success, had
better look at this incident and copy the
example.

A CAMPAIGN SONG.

AN rx-"REBEL" writes the following Grant cam
pa;gn song for the Atlanta (Ga) Era: t s
AIR-Bonnic Blue Flag.
Old Maine to California sends
The welcome, welcome word,
And Northward rolling to the South,
The swelling cry is heard,
And men of every age and race
Have caught the glorious shout,
Hurrah, hurrah, for General Grant,
And fling his banner out
HurrahI! Hurrah,
For General Grant, hurrah
Hurrah for the Union Flag
With every Southern Star.
The wave of Reconstruction rolls H
From Old Virginia's hills,
Across the South to Texas plains,
And every bosom thrills.
When this is dono, we'll join the fight,
And 1t is our intent ...
10 hoist the name of General Grant
And make him President.
Hurrah Hurrah, &c.
We swear upon the sword of Lee, I.fE
Beside our Jackson's grave,
To battle only for the man
Who can tho Urion save.
By all the blood tho war has shed,
By all we hope to be,
We'll rally to the standard now
That keeps the people free.
hurrah Hurrab, &c.
They're rsllying North, and East, and West,
Wen rally in the South, f.r
With ringing shouts for General Grant,
Upon each patriot mouth.
Uurrah for Grant tho shouts must roll 81
From every Union lip,
And every man must rally now
To man the Union ship.
Hurrah! Hurrah, &c.
