~ A correspondent of the Cincinnau
\ Gazette states that colored persons, mostly
children and youths, are held as slaves TO-
day in Kentucky He says that In the
counties bordering on the Ohio River these
children, under the name of apprentices,
are really held as slaves; that they are
worked and whipped during the day and
impriso ned at night, and their parents on
the Obi O side dare not cross the river for
their children for fear of being shot
. eg- The New York Leader of the 18th
says " One of the Tribune staff, who has
very car efully examined the immense
mass of Republican exchanges received by
that paper, says that, SO far as he has gone,
So Journals have expressed their prefer
ence for Grant, 10 for Salmon P. Chase, a
for Sheridan and scattering and that for
the Vice Presidency 10 support William
D. Kelley, Z Schuyler Colfax, 4 George S.

- A. Washington dispatch to the
Springfield Republican says SIS, Nearly
every member of the Cabinet is in favor
of Grants election. There are good rea-
SONS for believing that Seward is a Grant
man, and Postmaster General Randall
does not attempt to conceal the fact that
he is for Grant The most sincere John
son man in the Cabinet is McCulloch.
He sticks closely to the President, and is
one Of the worst negro haters in the coun-
try. n He said last week, to q Republican,
e You can't elect Grant unless you drop
negro suffrage, 1rs5oq gdT .-laas z
gag The latest joke about Grant is, that
Seward and a newspaper correspondent
treated him to wine, in hopes Of drawing
out of him his political views When they
judged that he was mellow, Seward asked
him, g General, what do you think of Ben
Butler Pr Grant stopped and seemed to
reflect a minute, and then answered. "Ben
Butler Well, don't believe in him
much" =, The eyes, of the reporter glis-
tened, and he took, out his notebook,
"I'n bet my pile that Dexter can beat him
any day. A loud laugh greeted the amia-
BILE duo, and the reporter went off and
wrote to his paper that Grant "talked
horse" IN, -
gW In noticing the late public endorse
ment of Andy j. jSy the National Demo-
cratic Committee, the Chicago Republican
ays: $50 President johnson has been
formally received again into the ranks of
the Democratic party. The National
Democratic Committee have formally in
dorsed him, and he has returned thanks.
Blessed be the party that takes A. j. to
its bosom! Henceforth his measures are
Democratic measures; his sins are Demo-
cratic sins; and his virtues Democratic
virtues. He has his place at last. But has
be Democratic Cabinet also ? Does the
National Democratic Committee include
Seward ct al in their Endorsement ?"
uw How wonderfully the t" Lincoln
rags" have gained in popularity within
five years! Five years ago the Copper
heads turned up their noses at the bare
mention of such q substitute for hard cash,
and declared that in a twelvemOnth they
would not be worth a dollar barrel-and
now, behold the Copperheads resort to
the once-derided greenbacks for the most
effective weapon of their next years pO-
litical campaign With inimitable cheek,
the Cincinnati Enquirer announces q
"poster for the times and the momentous
issues before the people-a beautiful imi-
tation of the greenback, with truthful
portrait of our esteemed fellow citizen,
Hon. George Ell. Pendleton." How George
would have periled his Democratic stand
ing by such an association only a few years
ago = Chicago Tribune. "a rTTg1 n9f 0
~" Tits generally conceded(says the Chi
cago Iri5une) that Vallandigham is gain
ing ground in the Ohio Senatorial con-
test. An important point gained in his
favor is the action of the State Central
Committee, who have called Copper
head State convention to meet at Column
bus on the Sth of January. This is the
day on which the Legislative caucus is to
meet to nominate candidate for Senator.
The object of this movement is to. create
an outside pressure from the Democratic,
masses, with whom he is the favorite. . A
serious breach has unquestionably been
made in Thurman's ranks, and the leaders
who have counted on an easy victory for
him are by no means as confident as they
were. u.4.....
gY The following item, from Brick
Pomeroy's Lacrosse Democrat, is going
the rounds of the rebel papers of the
South as an indication of the political
sentiment in the Northern States. After
speaking of the purpose of the Repub-
licans to admit the Southern States, so as
to vote in the Presidential canvass, either
for that brainless butcher Grant, or the
fanatic Chase" he delivers himself of this
exhortation: s ,t II '-. ear es
We tell you. Radicals and traitors, your
tool shall never enter the Presidential Man
