We had the pleasure of attending a
NICE Ing, at Hamdcn Furnace, last
Tuesday evening, called for the pur-
pose of completing the organization
of Il Grant Club.
The meeting was addressed by
Judge johnson, of Jackson, in calm,
dispassiona.e speech of about two
hours length, and he effectually ex-
posed the folly and duplicity OF the
Democratic theoryOffinance. lie econ
fined his remarks almost entirely to
this subject, and made his explanations
and illustrations so plain that "the
wayhring man, though a fool, need
not err therein" We pronounce 1t
the best speech on this subject we have
either read or listened to this fall
We will have more to say of its main
features next week.
Seyenty-tive persons enrolled them
selves as members of the Club. G
w. Jackson was elected President
A. l.. Beard and S. Isaminger, Vice
Presidents: j. Il. Workman. Secretary
and 7. NJ. Bay, Treasurer. This is

The Basket Meeting in our town,
on Monday, Notwithstanding the short
notice given, was Il success.
Want of space will prevent an eX-
tended notice, but the "Plowholders
of Old Swan-tlae plowholders,-the
Brown Township pet-Baggers, the
Hope Furnace delegation, and the
Jackson Township Tanners are de-
serving of special notice.
The load of tan-bark, on top OF

working clothes, plying the trade Of
his illustrious "broJher chip" whom
the people intend to elect President

people.
The speeches of Hon. BENZ. Eggles'

Sanns and the Rebel FIagg

The Democratic Meeting Tuesday evening
was curious affair. John Sanns, Demo-
cratic candidate for Congress, read his piece.
He does not touch the financial question, taxa
ton. or currency. He did not touch the re
construction except in the matter OF unlyersi
suffrage. HIS piece sounded. like "thricc
told tale" poor, weak attack upon the "nlg'
ger and his Bureau" He calls them "meOn
lazy, ignorant semi -barbarous, negroes"
He repeated few f,lsehoods about the cost
of the Freedmans Bureau, and about its OBJ
iects-and said that the Radicals had dlslran-
chised Democrats in Tennessee, simply be-
cause they were Democrats, and that he hon
estly believed the Radicals would disfrarchlse

THE New York Tribune says:
Our Democratic exchanges are
publishing a list of fifteen
Union Generals who support
Seymour and Blair. Two Of
the number have already pro.
nounced for the Republican
ticket. Five more were retired
in disgrace during the war.
One of the number has been
court.martialed and punished
since the close of the war.
Two were never in any engage
ments, one is dead, and of the
remaining four, Slocum is the
only one deserving Of favora-

A Humbug Acknowledged.


A Humbug Acknowledged.
The Democratic Enquirer
says we are so "stupidly igno-
rant that they think the Ohio
Legislature possesses the legal
power to impose a tax on Uni
ted States bonds" 1t was only
last fall that the Enquirer was
telling our people to vote for
Democratic Legislators so that
they might tax the bonds. We
told them then that they were
trying to humbug the people.
Now, they acknowledges it,
They are playing the same
game of humbug this fall. Will
you be deceived twice by the
same trick?

THE JETER PHILLIPS TRIAL-PosTPoNE-
MENT GRANTED.-At the opening of the Cir
cult Court of Henrico yesterday, after the
acquittal of Beverly Williams, Judge Chris
tian stated that he had given the motion Of
Phillips's counsel for continuance due
consideration since the court adjourned on
Monday. At that time he had thought it
impossible to hold special term. Since
then he had received the following telegram
from Mr.. Templeman, and obtained the adj
ditional information that he could not be
here in less than ten days:
"L1ScoLN, ILL.,, April %, 1868.
&c To j. B. Young, Richmond:
s.I have not the means. Send me the
fare, and I will come, as / want to return
/ want you to assure me that the expense
will be provided for. Fare about fifty dol
lars. j. A. TEMPLEMAN.
The Judge then said that whilst, strictly
speaking, the prisoner was not entitled to a
continuance merely on the ground of the
absence from the State of one of the Com
monwealth's witnesses, still he was disposed
to give him the benefit of that witness ii
counsel deemed it important. He had
therefore decided to hold special term,
though at great inconvenience to himself,
for the trial of this case, on Monday the
18th of June.
The witnesses on both sides were accord
ingly recognized to appear on the day set
for the special term.
