Novel Sale of a Trotting Horse.

The celebrated trotting stallion bashaw,
Jr., whose record throughout the west as
"footer and stayer" is unequaled, was yester-
day purchased by Mr. A. T. Fawcett from
his owner, David Kelly. The purchase was
effected at the stock yards. where Bashaw is
stabbed, and it in its details was certainly a
pecular one. In the course of the converse.
ton relative to the merits of the horse, a
proposition to buy was made by Mr.. Fawcett
and Mr.. Kelly was requested to name his
price. In a jocular manner he agreed to
sell the horse at Sl4,50 per pound, after the
manner of disposing of cattle. Mr.. Fawcet'
Immediately accepted the proffer, the horse
was weighed on the stock-yard scales, and
lifted the weights at l,040 pounds. The
amount thus given for the hose, as will be
seen, is Sl5,0S0. The novelty of the sale
the promise of the horse, and the amount
paid, make the transaction one of the most
remarkable in equine annals.
Mr.. Fawcett, as everybody knows. was the
recent owner of Dexter, and, as his career
upon the turf has been unusually Successful
it may be safely presumed that Bashaw, I'm
der his care, viii develop points of speed no
hitherto witnessed. Bashaw is certainly ont
of the best horses in the country, and the
price paid for him is not dollar too much
He is quite young, and has trotted bette

From the Quincy Herald Jan. q
NOT ALL FOR GRANT.

The radicals are not all for Hiram {.
Grant as the radical candidate for president.
Some of them are decidedly of the opinion
that he can't be trusted-that he might prove
a John Tyler, Willard Fillmore or ANDY
johnson on their hands. One of these anti
Hiram radicals has furnishedth newspapers
the following facts for publication:
at is pretty generally known, at least it
should be pretty generally known, that some
years ago Hiram I. alias Ulysses Grant, sudden
ly got out of the United States army, in which
he was serving. There was much speculation as
to the reason of his hasty exit, and it final
ly ascribed to his dissolute and drunken habits.
This was so TO a certain extent and his drunken
spree. led to the performance of a trick which
settled the case of the ignorant hummer.
"While Hiram serving on the western from
tier, as lieutenant in the regular army, it was
his custom with other officers to have many nice
and hilarious times'-caled by some, sprees.
Daring one of these times, when Grant was more
goriously drunken than ever he made a conven-
fence of soup toureen of the mess room. For
this slight offence on the part of the besotted
lieutenant, the commander of the post, Col Bu-
chanan, called court martial to try him for an
offense unbecoming officer or gentleman.
Before the court could convene, however, Lieut..
Hiram Z alias Ulysses s., resigned his com
mission, and went into the tannery business at
Galena."
1t may be, now, that none of the matters
and things here stated are true. If not, it
is certainly very wrong in radical politi-
clan to furnish them for publication, merely
because he doesn't like Hiram. The state
ment that Hiram made convenience of a
soup toureen in the mess room,' Is doubtful.
Some pieces of queensware are conyeniences
and some are very necessary. 1t is here
stated that Hiram made q convenience
and not a necessary of the soup toureen.
On the whole, however. we dou't know that
1t makes great deal of difference whether
he found 1t necessary to make "conven-
fence of the soup toureen, or convenient to
make necessary of tive presume the
other facts are just as stated, that is, that he
was ordered to be court-martialed, and rath-
er than face the music or stand up to the
stink he had raised, resigned and got out OF
the army

Poor Dick Yates.

Poor Dick Partly from public reports
but Il ostly through reliable private sources we
are assured that Senator ates has fallen to rise
again while life lasts. Intemperauce.
" like a strong man armed" has finally forsad
him to an unconditional surrender, physically
and m entally. These hard words and we
grieve to write them; but the truth had better he
told frankly, since conceament, if ever desirable
is no longer possible. We hope he will re-
sign at He owes that much to honor. He
has broken the promise of reformation upon
which the state put him in the senate. He has
ceased to be entitled to his position. He has be-
trayed the confidence of his constituency. Let
him yield the charge they placed in his hands.
Sad as Is such punishment, there is ether al
Tentative. Patience has passed the point of en-
durance.
Poor Dick! Gifted, generous, frank and brave
we pity while we must condemn! His past
services-his brilliant appeals in behalf of free
dom, and his earnest and untiring efforts towards
the overthrow of slavery-can never never be
forgotten. Would to God his fame had not been
snliied by such fall Poor Dick Quincy
htg-a radical paper.
There is nothing new in the above ex-
tract-nothing that was not known to the
radicals years ago. Dick Yates is no more
OF drunkard than he was ten wears ago.
Yet the radicals, for the purpose of receiving
fair share of what they are pleased to cali
"the whisky vote," ran him for governor, Sc
cured that vote, and elected him. They af-
forwards put him up as the whisky candi
date for United States senator. He received
the vote of every drunken radical in the
legislature, and was elected. Having thus.
tor eight years past, used his popularity as a
whisky candidate, to promote their own sue
cess with the people, they now turn upon
him and denounce him as drunkard. In
one thing, however, We agree with the Hhio
whether Yates is a drunkard or not he
ought to resign. He ought to resign, be-
cause ne misrepresents the people of Illinois
in the United States senate. 4 large ma.
jority of the people of Illinois are onnosed
to radicalism In every shape in which # can
possibly present itself; Every radical vote
that Yates gives in the senate, is given in
opposition to the will and wishes Of large
mojority of the people of this state. And
yet, what would the people gain should he
resign9 Why, the governor would appoint
some meaner radical than Yates could be if
