The Philadelphia Bulletin says that
while Gen. Grant was in the Cabinet,
an incident occurred which adds an
other proof of his worthiness for the
highest honors of the Republic. At
one OF the Cabinet meetings, Mr.. john
son was INDUCING in some of his char
actsrlstic self-glorihcation over the
sacrifices which he had made for the
country, and one or moro of his Cabinet
Joined in the same strain of self praise.
Gen. Grant said: We'll, gentlemen, SO
far as am concerned, 1 have never
made any sacrifices for the country.
The country has always done more for
me than have done for 1t. I suppose
I would be ready to make sacrifices,
but have never had the opportunity /;
and think that as general rule, our
public men get more from the country
than they give to it,

BRICK PoMERoY recently delivere
semblage of red hot Democrats In Dun
kirk, AS the train bearing the crowd of
delegates from adjoining railroad towns
was nearing Dunkirk, red hot Demo-
crat thought it a good time to take n
straw and he did SO. About the last
man he approached was n Clevelander,
VINO played Seymour man, before vo-
ting, and asked the result SO far. 'Sey-
mour SO; Grant 113;' said the canvasser;
and that's pretty rough considering
we're going to a Democratic mass
meeting He thought 1t was rougher
when the Clevelander voted for Grant.

Was ,colra1 a Know-NotnlpE.

10 me -hdG.or Of Lhe Sun:
SIR:-Drri1g the years 1856, '57, and
'5S, 1 was a student in Notre Dame Uni
versity, South Bend, Ind. This was IA
nous Catholic institution in Mr.. Col
fax's district. During the height of the
Know-Nothing excitement MIR. Colfax
was known as friend of the College,
procuring for 1t privileges from the
State government; and literary club
in the College, of which was MEM
Der, had frequent occasion to pass votes
of thanks to Mr.. Colfax for gifts OF
books, newspapers, and Congressional
documents. II mans principles are
to be Judged from his actions, Mr.. Col
fax was certainly not a Know-Nothing
at time when Know-Nothingism was
profitable, and it is not possible that he
has changed since when it would be
disastrous. Respectfully,

Mr.. STANTON made a point in his
steubenville speech in regard to the
finances which We have not seen put
forward by anybody else. The repudi-
ationists say that the public bonds on
their face are payable In lawful money;
that greenbacks are lawful money;
therefore the bonds are payable in
greenbacks. But, replies Mr.. Stanton,
II Greenbacks are lawful money, gold
Is also lawful money; SO that the arsu-
ment with equal force proves the bonds
payable in gold.

Beautiful.

Governor Smith, of Alabama, has vetoed
the bill comforting upon the Legislature
the authority to cast the electoral vote Of
the State. The. following is a specimen of
the talk that followed:
The message created warm discussion
and caused much bitterness. Sillery,
Coon, and other extreme radicals we're Vi
olent in their expressions about the Gov
ernor. Mr.. Coon strongly urged the de-
feat of the veto, and said the object of the
men who were sustaining the Governor
in this matter was to get up war. If the
war must come, let it come. He was
ready for it, and ninety thousand freemen
of Alabama would give the opposition a
belly full of war before it was over with.
He would stand by the Republican party
in Alabama on the war, and victory would
perch on its banner.
Mr.. Jones replied to Mr.. Coon and told
him that his remarks were revolutionary,
but that if he wanted war he could have
war, and the war would last until none of
his sort desecrated the soil of Alabama.
He said he was Republican, but when
war is talked about, and Alabamians are
to be slaughtered, he would be found on
the side Of his own people, those in this
bright and sunny, bnt oppressed land, to
whom this country and the government of
it Justly belongs. He said he could raise
squadron of town boys and whip out
anything the gentleman from Iowa could
bring against him. He could march all
of twenty thousand colored men to follow
his banner in defence of Alabama and AL
abamans. The colored men Of intelligence
knew that carpet-baggers were not their
friends, and that squatter would desert
them in the hour Of peril and need.
The debate was conducted altogether
by Republicans, there being but one Dem.
ocrat in the Senate. 1t is not likely that
the bill can become law over the Gov
crnor's veto.
We like to see such "coons" brough
down, no matter who delivers the shot
but we would ask Mr.. jones if he has no
been one of the opprcssors Of his own "sun
ny land 2" There is hope for him, how
ever. "The gentleman from Iowa" i

Selling, u Dog.

This story is ancient, but very good.
The constant reader may pass it if he
thinks he can't get laugh out Of it once
more.
Dick Lazybones was the owner of a
large dog, which it cost as much to keep
as two pigs would have done; and the dog
besides was useless; nay, he was worse
than useless, for in addition to the ex-
pensc of keeping, he took up house room,
and greatly annoyed Dicks wife.
"Plague take the dog" said she; Mr.,
Lazybones, l do wish you would sell him,
or kill him, or do something or other with
him. He's more plague than his neck is
worth-always lying in the chimney cor
ner and eating more than it would take to
maintain three children. | wonder you
will keep such useless animal"
"Well, well, my DEAR" said Dick, ''say
no more about it. lPl get rid Of him one
of these days"
This was intended as mere get-off on
the part of Dick; but his wife kept daily
dinning in his ears about the dog until he
was compelled to take some order on
the subject.
"Well, wife," said he one day as he
came in, "L've sold JOwler."
"EIave you, indeed 2" said she, bright
ening up at the good news. 81 am very
glad of it. How much did you get fol
him, my dear?"
"Fifty dollars"
"Fifty dollars! What Fifty dollar
for that dog9 How glad | am Tha
will buy us good COW. But where i
the money, my dear !"
"Money p' said Dick, shifting his ciga
lazily to the other corner of his mouth. g
didn't get any money, took two pups a
twenty-five dollars apiece"

Lessons of History.

At an immense mass meeting at Frank
fort, Kentucky, recently, Hon, George II.
Pendleton made an elaborate speech from
which we extract the following eloquent
PASSAGE: n
England has had her Ireland and her
Scotland. Ireland was conquered after
many and bloody wars her lands were
confscated to Englishmen her Catholic
subjects were made to pay tithes for II
Protestant Church her Parliament was
abolished; foreigners were sent to rule
over her: u foreign Legislature made laws
for her, and it has been from that time to
this, and it will continhe as long as this
policy lasts, that Ireland will be discon-
tented and unhappy people and a hostile
province. Cheers. On the other hand,
Scotland was the pet child of King James.
Its laws were preserved; its habits were
maintained; its customs were Incorporated
into the laws of the land it preserved its
autonomy it preserved its identity, even
though it was incorporated most closely
into the body of the kingdom. 1t turns
out to-day that Scotland is the most faith
full and loyal subject Of the British throne,

Southern Martyrs.

The New York Herald says of the class
of people who suffer from "rebel atroci-
ties !"
"NIartyrs" are as plentiful throughout
the South as Strawberries in season. The
smashing of radicals nose, the punish
ment of radical scamp or even the kill
ing of radical in personal quarrel
all these are set down as the result of
rebel hatred to the Union. But, mark
you, if the cases be reversed and the radi-
cal smashes the nose for or kills his con-
servative neighbor, we are told, and the
speaker wears benign expression OF coun-
tenance as he tells it, that these things
arise from the just evaporation of loyal
heart-that they are merely the ebulli-
tions of Unionism too powerful for control.
The waters of pure, unsullied and un-
defled patriotism will at times overflow,
and then if an ex-rebel gets smashed or
killed, put the blow or blows down as
having been struck in the cause Of the
Union. t' '''-

Effect ofPapel. Money.

The following are plain figures which
every day-laborer and taxpayer can un-
derstand. "A Laboring Man" writes the
following to the Bangor (Me.l Democrat:
For days work in 1859 | could buy
barrel of excellent -four. For an equally
good barrel now have to work eight days.
For one days work in 1889 could buy
five pounds of tea. dor the same days
work can now buy but two pounds.
For one days work then could buy
thirty pounds of sugar. For days work
now + can get but fifteen pounds.
For days work in 1850 could buy
eight pounds of tobacco. Eor days
work now I can buy but three pounds.
For days work in 1859 could buy
fifteen pounds Of coffee. For a days work
now I can buy FIVE pounds.
For one months work in 1850 l could
clothe myself and family for one year.
To do the same now | ann obliged to work
two months and half, r... ~ ..s,....
might thus 60 through the whole list
of articles that laboring man and his
family consume. The fact is that we are
permitted to enjoy but one half of the
fruits of our labor; the other half goes to
the public treasury.
1t is not time for me and my fellow la
borers, to look around us, ascertain the
cause of this robbery Of labor, and. apply
the remedy! fes sas 5a ls o7s,8

On Tuesday last, says the Press and
Herald, of the 18th instant, two negro men
were shot and killed in Hawkins county,
East Tennessee, by Mr.. Willis, who kill
ed the wretch Sizemore, some twelve
months since. 1t Itappears that these ne
groes went to the house of Mr.. Willis, du-
ring has absence, and demanded something
to eatof his mother and sisters. Their de-
mand was refused, when they made their
way in, against the protest of the ladies,
and proceeded to help themselves to what
they wanted. When Willis came they
we're sitting at the table enjoying them
selves, having driven away the ladies by
certain characteristic and brutally often
sive remarks. A few words sufhced to
explain the situation, when he passed into
another apartment, procured double
barreled shot gun, and returned to the d.
ming room where the negroes we're feast
ing. One started up, and being shot by
Willis, fell dead across the table; the
other ran out, but was shot and killed,
when barely past the threshold. g
