FANCY AND FACT

1t seems the Philadelphia Press has
been doing in Pennsylvania what the
Nashville Press and Times does in Ten
nessee. The Philadelphia Age of the
22d inst, thus exposes its misrepresenta-
tions:
The Press Of Wednesday published an
inflammatory editorial about a riot at Y ork,
Pennsylvania. Here are some choice ex-
tracts:
"York has disgraced the State by an un-
provoked and cowardly attack on Maj
Gen. Logan, who, with his family, was pass
ing through the town in q passenger train
on Monday, en- route to Chicago. At the
depot, while waiting, the General left the
cars, was recognized and followed, and
when he had entered, just as the train was
about 10 start several large stones were
hurled through the windows of the car at
him. Fortunately, they did no more harm
than to break the car windows. One of
them struck Gov. Hahn, of Louisiana, on
the breast. Gen. Sickles and large mum
Der Of Republican Congressman were on
the train at the time. We trust this out
rage will not be allowed to go UNPUBLISHED.
Democracy of the modern bastard shape
simply means mob law aud murder. Up
North it asserts itself in riotOus assaults on
persons and professions. Down South it
revels in Ku-KIux KIans, tar and feathers,
assassination, and blazing school houses.
1t is the duty Of every good citizen to re-
press it."
The Press was rash in making place as
near as York the scene of this invention.
The very next day came the contradiction,
''NOt word OF truth 10 the story" The
officers of the road publish formal denial
of it. They say:
There was no riOting, nor any attempt
made to create riot; nor was any one on
the platform except the passengers and Of
ficers of the road.

Ticket Agent N. C. Il. w. Co.
GEO. w. OGDEN,
Baggage Master N. c. K. w. Co.
Let this suggest to the readers of the
Press that there is just as little truth in the
Klux Khan stories which the Press assigns
at will, to remote places at the South.

A "yERY COMmON HEAD.

. .
When John G. Calhoun was 4 member
OF the senior class at Yale College, It As
related that in a discussion of the guess
ton whether the true origin of gov
ernnent was in the consent Of the gov
erned" invited by President Dwight the
young Carolinian so ably sustained the
affirmative of the proposition against the
argument OF the President himself, chat
in abiding to it, the latter remarked,
THAT young man has talents enough to
be President Of the United States Mr.
Benton afterwards, in one Of his fierce
Senatorial rencontres with the great
Nulli6or, said that the enoOmium Of the
pedagegue had turned his brain, aud
made Presidency hunting the business
Of his life
The enterprising scribbler who wrote
old Jesse Grants early life of my boy
Lysses," having this reminiscenoe in his
mind, determined not be outdOne, and
makes the silly old fellow narrate the va
ticinatiOns of q strolling phrenOlOgist
about the wonderful child, who is now
the Radical candidate for the Presidency.
This descipherer of the language of Graz
NAL bumps, before a select audience in
ten by twelve country school house, by
the light of a couple Of tallow dips, run
his sage and scientific hand through the
hair of the precocious urchin, and graves
ly remarked, without the slightest sus-
picion that fond papa or devoted NAM
ma, were hanging breathless on the re-
suit Of his examination, and of course,
with no desire to propitiate their belief
in and patronage of bumpOlOgy. This
is no very common head" But let the
admiring sire tell this impressive scene
in his own words. Says the Early
Life !"
When Ulysses was about twelve years
old the first phrenologist who ever made
his appearance in that part of the country
came to our neighborhood. He awakened
a good deal of interest 10 the science, and
was prevailed on 10 remain there some time.
One DIR. Buckner, who was inclined to be
officious on most occasions, in order to test
the accuracy of the phfenologist, asked him
If he would be blindfolded and examine a
head? This was at one of the public lee
lures. The phrenologist replied that he
would. So they blindfolded him and then
brought Ulysses forward to have his head
examined. He felt it over for some time
saying scarcely anything more than to
mutter TO himself, at is no very common
head" At length DR.. Buckner broke in
with the inquiry whether the boy would
be likely to distinguish himself in mathe'
matics? "Yes," said the phrenoiogist
'in mathematics or anything else, 1t would
not be strange if we should see him Presi'
dent of the United States" f..
The difference between Theodore
Dwight, and this peripatetic lecturer to
rural audiences, and vender Of phreno-
logical charts, 81 that the former 5 pupil
Calhoun, amply indicated his Auditory
remark, while the world has yet to learn
that Grants is anything but "oer3

WHY GRANT Is AN IMPEACHER.

The New York Tribune made this |
statement as long ago as the Sd Of April:
ave have ASSURANCES from Washington |
that General Grant finds it not incOnsis- !
tent with his duty as a soldier to announce
il as his opinion that the only hope for the
peace Of the country is the success Of the
pending impeachment trial.
When the General Of our Army entertains
this conviction. there is no room for doubt
as TO the duty Of the Senate
When this statement was put forth.
with a flourish Of trumpets by the Tri-
hume, it was doubted that the General Of
the army could 80 Ear forget his position
as to use the weight Of his personal and
official influence to influence the High
Court Of Impeachment 10 convict and re-
move the President Bot The statement
Of the Tribune is corroborated by the
Washington correspondent of the New
York San. ex~Assistant Secretary of
War Dana's paper, who, in speaking OF
the Radical pressure brought 70 bear
upoa Senators on the. night before a vote
was taken on impeachment, said
attention was next turned toward Sena-
tors Anthony aud Wiley. Both were out
early, and both talked better than they did
| on the previous evening. Gen. Grant was
called on and said he had seen Mr.. An
thony, aud had no doubts of him, and bad
assurances that on the second and eleventh
articles, Mr.. Wiley would stand fire."
There is reason why Gen. Grant
sought thus to degrade his superior.
Under Mr. JOhnson's influence General
Grant was, for a while, Conservative. "
According to his own account, he wished
Stanton to resign, and actually did dis,
place him, and took upon himself the
functions Of Secretary of War Ga interim.
But, when he settled matters with the
Radicals, az stated by the Philadelphia
Age, the first step prescribed to him was
the undoing of his own work. He
stopped to trick to let Stanton back
again He did, in politics, what he could
not have done in war-lre deserted
his post, contrary TO the or
ders of his superior officer, and let the
( enemy in President johnson charged
him with duplicity and failure to keep
his promise All the Cabinet officers
confirmed the charge, and, indeed, cir'
cumstances clearly proved it. In the
correspondence about it, Grant found, as
General Scott did, that the point Of the
pen may be more dangerous to warrior
than the point of the sword From the
epistolary contest, Grant came out de-
feated and diseFdited. Hence through
revenge, Grant has worked himself and
sanctioned the announcement Of his viii,
as by the New York Tribune, in aid of
those who were combining all Illicit in
fuences to force a verdict against law
and evidence, from those sworn and act
ing in the double capacity of judges and
jurors. trs.t 1EAfE# o.
Nashville union and dispatch. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1866-1868, 1868-05-26

TINS comments Of the Radical press in
response to the Chicago nominees, are
amusing. They clearly show that the
enthusiasm is hollow aud pinchbeck.
The Tribune says Of Grant: I'VE tried
for while to persuade them that they
could do better, but they would not hear
us" of Colfax, another says, he is "a
beautiful mar" with bird ike quick
ness in his movements Another says
be is a fair specimen Of the average
American citizen, that is to say not
above ornary. 1t might have added that
Grant was not of the average standard.
The fact is, man might shat his eyes,
and 90 through a promisouous public
gathering. and draw out a couple of men
better fitted, On the score Of brains, than
either one Of them
