The National whisky meter.

The Radical press are very uneasy
about Gen Grant, and desire to shift the
responsibility Of exposing his Incorporate
habits on the Democrats and if they eau
once do that, they have only to claim, as
a perfect refutation Of the charge, that it
il Copperhead sIandcr Gen. Grants
Incorporate habits have been exposed by
sensible and rejecting Radicals. who,
with all their fanaticism and malignity
toward the Southern people, and with all
their loud professions Of love for the ne
gro as man, and brother, and an equal
voter-yet they don't ike 10 see q man
Of such confirmed habits Of intoxication
as Gen. Grant nominated for the Presi-
dcncy. Wendell Phillips was one of the
first to charge this sin on Grant Ii
can't be expected that the Radicals shall
have the monopoly of the discussion Of
the Generals habits. The Democrats de.
sire TO have some fun out of the contro.
vcrsy on the qualities of the heir appar-
ent to the Empire which is soon TO be es-
tablished by the Rcyolutionists at Wash.

Whites as equal voters.
One of the best things we have seen
yet, on the Radical candidate for the Pres.
idency, is the following from the La Crosse
Democrat
The Secretary of the Treasury is try.
ing TO find FIVE competent persons TO Sc.
lect whisky meter to be adopted by the
Government. We submit to candid pco
pie if this committee is not wholly un
necessary; iuasmuch as HIRAM ULYSSES
GRANT is the Government dc facto. Oh
what earthly use would any other whisky
meter be y Nature and education have
combined to make ULYSSES n whisky
meter, and meter competent to pass up
on the merits of fabulous quantity o.
that seductive fluid
In both ends of the Rump there bt
many whiskey meters, and right loya
ones, too, but none that for extent an6
capacity will at all rival Washburn's horse
meat hero.
When Hiram lived on little farm ol
buckwheat patch, just back of Carondo
Let, Missouri, and subsisted by selling
cordwood in st. Louis, he was UNIVERSAL,
acknowledged to be the nearest approach
to walking whisky meter of anything il
that classic region. No other bull team
ster in st. Louis county could stand W
under so large an amount of Pixies Mag
nolia whisky, as could the silent hero.
For three weeks succeeding the surren
der of Pcmberton. ''the greatest Genera
of modern times" had his headquarters
on transport anchored we'll out of rang
Eof the Confederate guns, and was as com
plete a whisky meter as the Honorable,
Secretary would require, though not at al
times perpendicular one.

I This is his greatest military achievement
his principal stock in trade; his warmes
admirers have little to offer in relation Il
his Virginia campaigns, the indusputabl
fact that tho phantom army of slaughtere'
soldiers, consigned to shallow graves be
meath the soil of the Old Dominion by hi
merciless tactics; the fact that this arm
needlessly butchered exceeded the force
of Lee in ratio of three to one, is to

to be disputed.

travagance on the part of Secretary Nc
Colough, to appoint an expensive commit
