a Charge to be Refuted.

1t is charged, says the Albany Argus-
and the official records of court OF justice
are present to support it-that Grant,
while in command at the South, and when
this Government reserved the right to
purchase cotton from the rebels for It's own
advantage, gave his father the privilege
to buy cotton. On this capital the elder
Grant went into speculation with parties
who agreed to furnish money to carry on
the trade. Mir. Grant, ST., was to have
one-fourth of the proceeds for his interest
in the business. 1t appears that the mon
eyed partners refused 10 make good their
stipulations, and declined to divide. MIR.
Grant entered suit to compel them to
share their ill-gotten gains, but it appears
he was turned out of court, under the old
law axiom, that he did not come into ii
with clean hands; in other words, that
the privilege his son secured him was one
he had no right to give, aud was, On It's
face, illegal and fraudulent.
Tie Brooklyn Eagle suggests that Gam
pie time has been given to refutc this
grave charge, if it be possible to do so. No
answer is forthcoming. We assure the
Radicals that this accusation cannot be
disregarded. No man, we think, will enter
the White House as President OF the Uni
ted States while under accusation OF an
offence winch in the military service would
lave been punished by the edict of a drum
head court martial, which in civil life
ought to be rewarded by free quarters,
not in the White House, but in an editice
of quite different character. If Grant
should be elected President, the party OPP
posed to him expect to be able to treat
him with all the respect and Difference
due to the occupant of that exalted posi-
ton. If the charge made against General
Grant cannot be answered in a satisfactory
manner, the Radicals owe it to their OPP
ponents, and certainly owe 1t to themselves,
to substitute, even at this late day, another
candidate for the position of Chief Magis-
trate OF this Republic !''

CAUGHT IN THEIR OWN TEAP.-lt is pro-
posed that the carpet bag legislatures elect
the Presidential electors. If they do, the
l4th amendment deprives their respective
States OF representation i'll Congress. In
it's second section that amendment says of
each State that
"When the right to vote at any election
for the choice of electors for President and
Vice President of the United States, rep
resentatives in Congress, the executive and
judicial officers Of II State, or the members
of the Legislature thereof is denied to any
of the male inhabitants ofsuch State, being
twenty one years of age and citizens of
the United States, or in any way abridged,
except for participation in rebellion or
Other. crime, the basis of representation
therein shall be reduced in the proportion
Which the number of such male citizens
shall bear to the whole number of male
citizens twenty one years of age in such
State"
When the right of voting for Presiden.
tial electors is denied to all the voters of a
State, then the basis of representation in
such State must be reduced by the number
of all the voters, which is to say that it is
to have no basis of representation at all.

spirit would have been perhaps more mark
cd. The zeal and energy ofthe conserva-
tive masses spring from Il desire to make a
change of political policy and from the
confidence that they can carry out their
purpose.
In this faith they are strengthened by
the cooperation of the great body of those
who served in TIE Union army during the
war. Having given nearly 10000 COM
missions to the officers Of that army I
know their views and wishes They de-
mand the Union for which they fought.
The largest meeting Of these gallant sol
dicrs which ever assembled, was held in
New York, and endorsed the action of the
National Convention. In words instinct
with meaning. they called upon the Coy
ernment to stop in its policy Of hate, dis
cord and disunion, and in terms OF fervid
cloquence they demanded the restoration
of tho rights and liberties of the American
people.
When there is such accord between
those who proved themselves brave and
scf:sacrifcing in war, and those who are
thoughtful and patriotic in council, [ can
not doubt we shall gain political triumph
which will restore our Union, bring back
peace and prosperity to our land, and will
give once more the blessings of wise,
economical and honest Govermcnt.

How TO MAKE POPULAR PAPER.-The
way to make a popularpaper, is to pitch in.
But it must be no ordinary, weak, wishy-

fiery, rearing, tearing, rip,snorting, sky
cavorting and eartl-bursting pitching in.
You must rant, roar, how, yell, below,
bawl, and finally blow an awful, uncom-

The Radical Comptroller-General

The Columbia Phenir gives the follow
ing bit of history in the life of DR.. J. L.
Neagle, ComptrollerGeneral, so-called,-
Such exposures have only one tendency
to commend the individuals exposed to
greater favor among the Radicals:
CHARLOTTE, n. c., Aug. 10, 1868.
Dear Sir:-In replying to your favor of
the 9Th instant, making inquiries III refer.
ence to the character of DR.. j. /. Neagle,
| will state such facts as know, of my
own personal knowledge, in as brief and
concise manner as possible.
In 1854, j. L. Neag gle, with several other
young men, Gncluding myself), boarded
with Fl. S. Pharr, Esq, near Harrisburg
Depot, Cabarras County, North Carolina,
and went to school to Mr.. S. Lindsey.
Neagle vas beneficiary of Concord Pres
bytery, and was being educated for min
ister The first three or four months,
his department was excellent; he prayed
regularly every morning and evening, and
observed strictly every Sabbath. In fact,
his great object seemed to be to 10 the
will of Him who said, "Thou shalt not
steal"
After the time referred to, pocket-books,
money, &C., began to disappear. Neagle
professed to lose money. Our landlord
suspected Neagle, but no one Of the board
ers did. One morning after this, Mr.. ii.
5. Pharr and wife started for Concord,
about the same time we started for Seileol,
Neagle said that he was sick and remained
at home When we returned from school,
we found that Neagle had robbed several
of the boarders' trunks and lett for parts
unknown. He did not take his trunk with
him, but left nothing of value in it. Some
time after this, on returning from school !,
we were surprised to lind that our landlord
had Neagie in duress. Neagl had returned
to get his trunk, and our landlord, torlu-
nately being at home, persuaded him. to
remain until we returned from school,
Dnrlng tile evening, j. L. Neag lie confessed,
voluntarily, in the presence Of Messrs. IL.
S. Phar., w. w. Alexander, J. S. David
son, William Davidson and myself, that
he committed all the thefts charged against
him, demurring only to the charge of WI
liam Davidson-stating that it was not
five dollars and eighty cents that he took
from him, but fre dollars and seeentyfre
cents
Neaglc begged us not to expose him,
promising that he would replace the cloth
ing, and refund the money as soon as lie
arrived in Charlotte. He said that he had
credit at Fulling & Townly's clothing
store, and had relative i'll Charlotte from
whom he could get the money. After con
su!tation, we decided to accept Neagle's
proposition, and ]. S. Davidson and my
self were selected to escort him to Charlotte.
On the next day, we took the train for
Charlotte. Neagle appeared to be SO NOR
tilted, that we did not guard him closely.
He succeeded in making his escape from
lis, and never heard of him again until
the fall of 1860. His history, since that
time, suppose you are familiar with.
Very respectfully,
S. b. ALEXANDER.

A friend of ours has two boys, aged

"A friend of ours has two boys, aged
respectively six and eight years. The
Younger was partaking largely of the good
things of this life at the dinner table, i'm
mediately on their return from the Sabbath
school on Sunday. The elder, after eyeing
his brother for some time, said, "Charlle,
if YOU were to eat much more, and 1t should
xiii you, you would weigh so much that
the angels couldno carry yon to heaven" !"
Little six.year old hesitated fol moment,
and then, looking up, replied, "Well, if
they couldn't do it alone, God would send
Sampson down to help them.''
