The NOMINATIONS The Repub-
lican nominations made last week
at Chicago, for President and Vice
President, does not seem to suit
the editor of the Louisville Ky. J
Courier. That paper has always
been in the interest ofthe slave hold
ing oligarchy, and has delighted
always to speak contemptuously OF
what 1t sneeringly termed greasy
mechanics, and has always spoken
ofthe honest Industrious portion OF
our worthy fellow citizens, the Ia
boring classes, as being the "mud-
siHs Of Society" In its notices OF
the nomination of Gen. Grant for
the Presidency, the Courier says,
contemptuously;
"By a singular combination of
circumstances, Gen. Grant has been
brought from a tan yard in the
West, up to his present position"
We fail to see that any disgrace
attaches to Gen. Grant, from the
fact Of being brought from a tan
yard, 1t is an honorable condi-
tlon, and it is creditable to any
man to be a proficient in an honor
able trade or profession. Gen.
Grant has proved himself the great
est tanner Of the age, He tanned
the rebels during the late war,
wherever he found them, and he
has now ON hand another job Of
tanning in which he will prove EN-.
inently successful In November
next; and the democratic party may
as well prepare their hides for tho
tanning process early in the sea.

FIVE DOLLARS PER DAY.-When-
ever anything is said about the to.
nacity with which the Democratic
majority in the Legislature clung to
the State Treasury for that five dol
lars day, until the bottom fell out,
that gifted individual who illumi-
mates the columns Of the Register OF
this place, flies into rage border
ing on insanity, and fears are enter
tanned by his friends that he will do
some rash act; such, for instance,
as rending his garments. He talks
about "0ld Opium Jar" and about
business operations for an under
taker, and winds up his highfuluten
touch, in his last issue, 'thuslyi
"The poor fool does not know that by his rant
ings he exposes the viilainy Of his own partl.
sans, who Fixed the per diem Of members and
officers Of the Legislature"
We told our very, gerry gVted
neighbor Of the Register, two or
three weeks since, that that per diem
was not fixed for rogues, but for
honest legislators. 1t was not de-
signed to pay a Democratic Legis-
lature five dollars a day to pass a
law to disfranchise poor, crippled
soldiers; it was not designed to pay
them five dollars a day to disfran.
chise young men over twenty one
years of age, who are making praise !
worthy efforts to gain an education
by attending college; 1t was not de-
signed to pay them FIVE dollars
day for passing a law (which has
been repeatedly adjudged by the Su.
preme Court Of the State to be un.
constitutional )disfranchising class
of persons who are, under our State
Constitution, as much entitled to the
right Of suffrage as is the gifted ed
itor Of the Ohio State Register,
We hope our amiable neighbor
will take no offense at these plain
remarks, and above all, that be will
not tear his shirt about it.

The Soldiers Disfranohisement

Bill
If you have enlisted in your
country's service, and shouldered
your musket and marched in front
of your country's enemies, and by
them have been shot down and
crippled to the extent Of being un.
able to earn your living, and are
sent from a remote corner of the
State to the Soldiers Home at Day
ton, the inhuman democratic Legis-
lature Of this State, by a law they
passed, say you must hobble back
to the place from which you came
to vote, or be disfranchised. When
the rebel, who, perhaps, shot you,
who hes lived in the State one year,
and in Dayton 80 days, walks up
side by side with Mr.. Vallandigham
and is allowen to vote. How do
you like this kind of democratic
Legislation for Soldiers ? Is not
that exactly the kind Of Legisla.
ton that JEFF Davis and his rebel
hosts heartily approve OFF, Could
they have asked more of their but
ternut friends in the Ohio Legisla-
ture? Now, it is just this kind Of

The failure to nominate Hon
B. F. Wade for the Vice Presiden
cy, has been a great disappointment
to butternut Editors who delight in
abusing and traducing the character
of that true old friend and advocate
of human rights. Notwithstanding
their lavish abuse of him for the
past twenty years, their vocabulary
was not exhausted and they had in
reserve for him as soon as he sho'd
be nominated--which they regarded
as certain---a new and intensified
volume of slander and slime to
pour out upon Mr. Wade. But
alas !how often the bestlaid schemes
Of men and mice are thwarted!

The Greensburg Herald enters a
mild protest against the bill author
izing Gen, Grant to enforce the re-
construction laws. Perhaps the af-
flrmation by the hair Of Mick may
be deemed little strong by some,
but it is only put in to ward off and
add force to sentence that would
be otherwise rather obtuse from its
extreme length:
When the time does come, (when

ion, if his Equestrian Mightiness

construction law, he would be seek

GRAIN.
Latest Movement OF the Grain
f--t Markets.

From The Commercial Bulletin.l
The English papers by the late steam
er bring additional news respecting the
movement of the grain trade in that
country. The value of correct statistics
OF the quantity of bresdstuff5 now on
hand, Is now generally looked upon in
England IS a matter of greater impor-
tsnce than it has been hitherto regarded.
Il is beginning to be recognized that a
statement of the probable deficiency, or
rather the demand for foreign grain, con-
stituted the best guarantee for increased
supplies that would keep prices at min
imum. The publication of information
Of this Kind in respect to the cotton sup
ply has heretofore proved of the greatest
service In preserving the equilibrium Of
trade, and it is expected that public re-
turns of the actual supply on hand will
produce a similar effect upon the grain
trade.
A comparative statement of the stocks
Of grain, seed and -four In dock and in
private grsnaries in London on the 3lst
Of August, 1868, throws some light upon
the supplies in what may beeonsidered as
the great consuming center of the Brit
ish Islands. The following are the more
important features:

SAD ACCIDENT.
Nitric Acid i'm a Professors Eyes
Panic i'm the school Room.

From the Louisville Courier OF Mcnday.1
We are panied TO hear Of an accident
to Mr.. Coleman, Professor of Natural
Science in the Female High School.
During the recitation of the junior class
on Thursday, from some cause, the Pro-
fessor dropped q bottle of nitric acid
which he was using, and the fumes Fis-
Ing, got into his eyes and blinded him.
The room was full Of girls at the time,
and when the Professor threw his hands
up TO his face and exclaimed, Now my
eyes are gone,n we can judge Of their
conservation. In q moment the whole
room was III confusion, and the girls,
some screaming and crying, rushed pell-
nell down to the office OF Prof Chase.
The excitement was soon eommuDi-
Gated to the whole school, and the grief
of the girls, upon hearing of the deplOr-
able mishap to their much loved and
respected teacher, was intense. The
teachers fastened to the assistance Of
the unfortunate Professor, and found
him in the room alone, completely
blinded and vsinly endesvoriDg to find
the water bucket. They rendered him
all the assistance possible, and he was
soon 30 far recovered as to distinguish
objects, and though bis suffsrings must
nave Deen intense, ne would nor De SAL
isfsd until he had convinced himself
that none of the young ladies who were
sitting near, and upon whom the acid
had spattsred, we're injured or Liable to
injury from it. Several of the young
ladies had their dresses burned, and the
acid ate the whole sole off the shoe o:
one Of them.
1t was thought at first that the Pro-
fessor would lose his eyesight entirely,
but we are glad to state that at last Sc
counts he was improving, and now the
indications are that his Sight will not be
materially impaired, and that he will be
80 far recovered as to resume his duties
in the schoolroom during the coming
week.
This is the second mishsp that Prof.
Coleman has met with since he has been
in the school, his sight having been en-
dangered several years ago by an acei-
dent during some experiments. We
hope that it will not be long before the
Professor is again among his loving stu
dents, who are sorely grieved in conse-
Quence OF his suf1eripgs.
