Democracy and Grant.

The vigor and venom with which the
Democratic newspapers are now Rzsail-
ing General Grant ara conclusive evil
dence that Grant is not much of a Cop
perhead. The Cleveland Plain Dealer
pays our great soldier the highest COM
plimeut it can by abusing him rOundly.
1t says Grant has thrown himself unre-
serYedly INTO the arms of the Radicals
and consented to become "the bond
bolders' candidate for the Presidency.
The New York World consigns Ulysses

portfolio. the Presidents organ, the
Intelligencer, blackRuards Grant ia its
stately way and charges him with t'per-

a TRUE Son OF his FATHER.--A Kos
sippy London paper says THE follow
ing anecdote, illustrative Of the conf
cal incidents which now and then in
terWeave themselves with the sober re-
alities of post-Ofice life, was related the
other evening at a literary supper table.
A letter from the wilds Of Cheshire was
received one morning, having the sim
pie superscription, "FOr moi Son Lon
don" After passing through success
sion Of hands. it was at length duly de-
posted, along with a thousand other
letters, at a left-till-called-for office,
there to await the chapter of accidenls.
A few days afterwards a simpls-looldng
countryman presented himself, and in
quired, "Hau yO COTTON a lettur for roe
fra moi feYthur 2" A litter, a whisper,
q significant nod Of the head on the
part Of more than one oficiEl, then a
runlmags amongst the pigeon holes,
and "feythur's letter" was found aud
handed to the son, who looked upon
the whole proceeding quite as matter
of course.

General Hancock, on his was South,
informed Congressman FBrnBworth
that he was no CopperhBad, ana those
who sent him TO New Orleans expect
ing that he would act otherwise than n
strict accordance with the laws OF Con-
gress, would be disappointed. The
rebels must have ssduced him. He fell.
In return, thus far, the Democrats have
barely mentioned his name in connec-
tiOn with the Presidency. We are uu-
der the impression they talked that
way TO Mr.. Johnson when be was
switching of. But the Democratic par
tv never nominate Tylers, or FiHmoreB,
or Johnsons for the Presidency. They
are too smart for that. The practice
was &c Whlg weakness, which, unfortu-
nately, the Republicans inherited TO
some extent.-C Cincinnati Gazette.

Lost Clauss-A Collegiate EdueaHsa stn
no Disqualification TO VOTE.
It is nov. generally understood that
! prior to the departure from the city OF
/ the honorable Democratic mem mbers on
/ Friday last, they formally agreed that
a bill GisfranchisinE all students who
are receiving liberal education in the
/ colleges of Ohio, should be introduced
and passed on their return. A certain
Honorable Mann, 20 whom 1t WAS nos
necessary to leave the city in order to
see his wife Or wives, was delegated and
empowered to draft q bill to exclude
from the privilege Of voting all young
men who by obtaining q collegiate edu-
cation, had disqualified themselves to
vote the Democratic ticket. There was
peculiar fitness and prOprietY in Sc
iecting the Honorable Mann for this
particular work, for the reason that in
himself least of all there was an excess
Of education or the disqualifying
amount Of intelligence which excluded
him from the exercise based upon ignO-
rance.
Yesterday at 2 p. NJ. the bill was
ready to be introduced, but a provideu-
tial suOW-stOrm blocked up the routes
to the Capital. and Mr.. Speaker could
muster but 80 mem mbers in the House,
and Charlie Flood, with all the efforts
of the rgeant-at-Arms Of the Senate,
WAS uudBAC 10 assure AAAH LlEAka kf0H-
ernOr that there were more than ten
Senators present. What was to be
done? Five days were required to pass
the bill through both Houses. Unless
the bill was read the first time yester-
day it could not reach its final passage
before Monday, and hence the students
of the Ohio Wesleyan University would
not be prevented from voting the Re-
publican ticket.
The TuscarOrian Stambaugh raved.
s'de would sit six weeks" and do other
things as bad, if not worse. He had ae-
tually seen Senators leave their seats
A warrior OF the Wyandot tribe raised
his tOmahawk and threatened to dis
patch somebody, but it appears that he
was only anxious TO dispatch the Ser
geant-at-Arms-afte the absentees.-
The Sergeant was dispatched, and has
not been seen since. At this stage of
the proceedings the Wide-aWalze cores
pondents of the Cincinnati press took
possession of the Senate chamber, and
outnumoered the Senators. 1T was
found, after frantic endeavors, that the
number Of Senators could not be in
creased above nine-laCking ten Of a
quorum. So the faithful nine adjourn
ed in disgust. Cause why? They had
not heard the first reading Of The bill
