GENERAL. GRANT Here is the best
description of General Grant we have
seen
General Grant is one of the most re-
markable of Americans in more than one
respect. He is unconsciously brave, in
corruptibly honest, wonderfully unambi-
tlous, magnifcently simple in his tastes,
magnanimously generous to rivals, sing
ularly sagacious as judge of character,
as obstinate as a mule in doing what he
thinks is right, terribly unsparing in his
practical severity upon humbugs and ex-
travagance, and with the most amazing
power Of keeping his mouth shut and
minding his own business, which-if we
mistake not-has yet been known in the
history of the world, in any man having
such temptations to talk and to NEEDLE
1t has been charged against him that he
is not only not teetotaler, but that he has
often yielded to the temptation to drink
to excess. We have made thorough in :
qulry in quarters whence information may
be del ended upon, and we are gratifed to
be able to state that whatever Gen Grant
habits may, or may not, have been in
former days, he has been for long, is now,
and may be depended upon to be, a
thoroughly sober man. He does smoke
which, for his sake, we regret.-Bos-
ton COnGregationaI.Ss.

DARING EXPRESS ROBBERY.

An indianapolis dispatch, to the Chi
cago Tribune, gives the following account
of the daring express robbery, which took
place in Indiana, Friday night, May 22d :
1.-The night express, on the Jefferson
vile road, which left that city at lime
o'clock Friday night. and which was due
here at 2:40 Saturday morning, brought
out with it, as usual, the car of the
Adam Express Company, intending to
transfer 1t at Seymour to the Ohio 4 Mis-
sissippi road for Cincinnati The mes
senger in charge was E. G.. Hardness, or
Louisville, and, in addition to the usual
amount OF express freight, he had three
iron safes-one from Nashville and one
from Louisville; both containing money
for Cincinnati and the East. The third
contained money packages for this city,
the North and West. Near Marshfeld,
some twenty miles south Of Seymour, the
train stopped to take water. The engin-
eer got off, and was examining his engine,
when seven men got aboard Of the engine
and express car, knocked the fireman
senselcSs, and threw him overheard. The
engineer coming up attempted te get
aboard, when he was knock ed back. Con-
ductor Wheaton saw nine men endeavor=
ing to uncouple the baggage car from the
express car, and called out to them to de-
sist, when one Of the robbers fired at him,
the ball passing through his coat. The
conductor returned the fire, when the
robbers again fred at him, the ball pas
sing within a few inches Of his head.
While the firing was going on, the loco
motive, which was doubtless in the hands
of an experienced engineer. darted off at
high rate of speed, taking with it the
express car and the robbers. leaving the
baggage car and passenger car on the
track. The messenger was knocked in
the head, thrown overheard, and died
from his injuries about noon Saturday
The engine and car were run up to With
in half mile Of Seymour, where they

THE WHISKEY RING.


We have heard Of powers behind the
throne greater than the throne itself. We
have in this country power behind the
Government greater than the Govern
ment, and, Ii eaVen save the mark, how
low we have come-this power is the
whiskey ring The nation was able to
subdue the rebellion, but it is unable,
and has been for years, to collect the rev.
enue on wniskey and our government lies
PROSTATE at the feet of this accursed gang.
We are an object Of contempt to ourselves
andsto all other nations, because of our
powerlessness to collect our revenue from
this source. 81
How will our credit stand abroad when
it is clearly seen that we cannot collect
our revenue? United States Bonds will
be as unsuitable as are the Bonds Of the
Confederate States We do not wonder
that they are below the Bonds Of the gov
eminent of New Zealand now. Our
Government is good for nothing if we
cannot go on and collect the tax as at
present imposed. Beside refusing to pay
revenue we shall not be surprised to have
it demonstrated that the whisky Ring de-
feated impeachment. IF it runs the Gov
eminent in other matters WhV NAV If not
here. We shall have its money and
whisky to fight in the coming campaign.
We must be prepared for an amount of cor
ruption this fall in our election such as we
never saw before The nation will have
its choice between Grant and the " Risky
Ring. We must elect Grant, then the
United States revenue will be collected
of the Whiskey Ring as we'll as every
one else.
