Miles O'Reilley and Gen. Grant.

MILES O'RErLLEY (Gen. HALrINE) Editor of the
New York Citizen, who is anything but Republican,
thus refers to the charge of intemperance against
Gen. GRANT. After stating that Gen BUTLER is the
author of the stories recently set aaoat-which may
may not be true MILES says:
81 have conversed with at least score of officers
who are known to me as gentlemen incapable Of
fasehood, and who from their positions, have been,
for the past six eight months, in daily-some of
them hourly Official relations with General Grant,
from O'Clock A: NJ until O'Clock every afternoon,
Sundays excepted, and by every one of them-three,
at least, being known to me personally and poi-
cally opposed to Gen. Grant-the slanderous state
ments of the Independent Anti- Sacery Standard and
Mr.. Wendell Phillips have been ndignantyi and ve-
hemently contradicted. have also conversed with
numerous ladies upon the point-and the experience
of every falliable husband or brother with HON

out every night IN society at balls dinners or Ger
with Mrs. Grant, and his habits have been
temperate in the extreme-even so much as glass
of champagne being rarely tasted at the dnnertable
or at supper. 1t is humating-and so felt by the
wrter-to be obliged to correct such partisan false
hoods in regard to the chief soldier of armies,
butts it not thousand fold humiliating to such
men as Theodore Tilton or Wendell Phillips, that
they should have allowed themselves, without snfi-
cient examination to have been made General Buters

such atrocious libels

"The Democracy attempted to inaugurate the

the Republicans on the defensive; but their val
or did not hold out. They got up quite Juror
over their convention aud the nomination of
Hendricks for Govcrnor.-They affect to be-

the brains, greatness, elements Of popularity
and craftsmanship in their party, when in fact
he does not possess any of those qualities in a
greater degree than do many of his party as
sociates, and the Democracy have heard SO
much of his strength and greatness that as
soon as he taxes the stump and enters upon \
canvass his WEAKNESS will be apparent, and the
disappointment of his party friends very CREST.
He has been in political life for twenty five
years, and is not the author of single speech
or public act that will live six months after his
death. His whole life has been study o! how
to avoid rather than meet An issue. In fact
he is . most perfec: personitication of "Olly

The Editor Of the Cory (Penn.) Republican,
who claims to be personally acquainted with
Brick Pomeroy, gives his readers the extracts
from the La Crosse Democrat on General Sher-
man and the clergy. which he called sometime
ago. and then proceeds to paint Brick thas:
"The author Of the above outrage was born
minus the moral attributes Of . manly charac-
ter. He is . thief liar. drunkard, and wife,
heater, to our personal knowledge. We have
known him to beat his wife and children un
mercifully without the least show or provoca-
ton, and forbid the merchants to trust them
for the necessaries Of life, while carousing in
dens of prostitution. And such thing is the
leader of the Democratic party! We have
known him to sing bawdy songs and crack OBJ
scene jokes over the remains Of his friend and
companion who was strangled to death in an
attempt to drink gallon Of whisky on a wa
ger. in the city of Milwaukee. And we have
heard him curse and defy the power that sus-
tanned it. We could chronicle thousand 9th.
er instances. but it is useless, as the extract
we present delineaes the degradation of the
wretch better than we are able to do.
