deemable paper currency.
FRANK.-The MarysvilIe Appeal frankly
admits that there is no enthusiasm for Grant
and Colfax. This is an honest confession
and goes to show that the more Intelligent
radicals have no hope Of electing their ticket
--OH--------
MEMPHIS went crazy when it was an
nounced that Seymour and Blair were nomi
mated. Blair is more popular in the South,
because Of his courage and generosity when

WHEAT.-Tho San Francisco papers con-
tinue to qnote fair article of milling wheat
at 81 so a 81 90 per hundred. The new
crop does not come in as fast as was antici-
pated, and the demand for shipment is great
er than was expected.

at Jackson, Miss, and the organ Of the black
and tau party, has suspended publication.

fairly be attributed to too much negro on the
brain.
Mass CoNvENTIoN.-The Grass Valley
Union suggests that grand mass convention

OF eight hundred and ninety miles.
Nor So.-The radicals of Idaho charge
that james O'Meara, of the World, was q
sympatlizcr with the San Francisco Vigi
lance Committee of 1856. Having lived il
San Francisco at the time, we can bear wit
ness that there is not particle of truth il
the charge The charge that Mr.. O'Mear;
affiliated with the Know Nothings in Cali
fOrnia, is equally false.
-
SOLD OUT.-The radicals at Healdsburg
California, being satisfied that they will hav
no more radical victories to celebrate, hav
sold their cannon to the democrats. Th
democracy Immediately turned the guns loos
for Seymour aud Blair. "Straws show whic
way the wind blows" and parting with thei
cannon shows that the radicals in that local
lty are given over to despair.
-
SEYMoUR's REcoRD.-A standing charg
with the radicals is, that Seymour oppose
the war for the Union, and threw every oil
stacle in the way of the government in put
ting down the rebellion. How does til
charge correspond with the fact that E. n
Stanton, Secretary of War, publicly thanke
Seymour for the promptitude with which /
(Seymour) had met all calls for troopsS
