There is great deal of speculation
at the present time IN reference TO the
policy likely 20 be pursued Nv General
Grant npon his accession 10 Tho prcsi
doncy. Aud IL Is not confined % the
Democrats hut is INDUCED Boa tonstill
greater extent by the Radical press
aud politicians Tho General himself
even since his arrival az Washington.
IS as reticcnt as ever, and every effort
to commit him TO any distinctive line
OF policy has thus far proved abortive
Nor Is he willing that any public de-
monstration shall be made in his favor.
lie seems to keep the leading poiti.
clans OF his party at arms. longih. and
as to the oflice-hunters he appears TO
be utterly callous to their claims So
far he keeps his own counsel, and this
OF itself, causes disquictudo and alarm
among his followers.
We are not much given TO specula-
tion, and are therefore willing TO wait.
Micawber-likc, for something to turn
up At least we shall not pretend to
loreshadow the policy Of the new ad-
ministration until we sec the materials
from which the Cabinet will be formed.
Then, and not till then, can any sensi-
bic or safe opinion be INDUCED in as to
the course things will take for the next
four years. President Grant cannot
please both factions Of his party-Con-
servativc and Radical. He must take
one or the other to bis confidence, and
be governed in his actions accordingly.
If he takes Conservative ground, he
displeases the Radical extremists-
and, Uice versa Which of the two
courses he will adopt remains 10 be
seen, and the composition Of the Cab
met will, to some extent, solve the
mystery that now seems TO cloud the
public mind.
In the meantime the country is
staggering along, as best it can, under
q mountain load of debt, created by
the party that has elevated General
Grant 10 power, with scarcely prob
ability that the leaders have the fnan- |
''' Dh'iii HihNu itHn Jlt hltID integrity /
necessary TO grapple in a statesman
Ike manner with the gigantic ques-
tions which must be met boldly and |
fearlessly, or the Government will be
precipitated into hopeless bankruptcy |
before the next Presidential term is
half round. We hope for the best
but, in reality, the prospect for the
future is gloomy in the extreme The
President elect may be able to stem
the torrent that is rushing the country
to destruction with fearful rapidity
but, so far, scarcely CLEAN of hope
shoots athwart the political sky. The
people willed it so, however, and we
must be content to take things as they
come, with the pleasant consciousness
that the responsibility for the extrica-
lion Of the country from the impend-
ng evils, does not rest upon us.-Ldn-

The idea so prevalent that the soil
Of South Carolina is worn out by til.
lage or exhaused with injudicious
planting does not seem to be borne
out by The statistics. The State con-
tains 100000 acres of land. Only
ono.fourth of this is under cultivation.
The rest, some l4,5O0,00O, is mostly
in native forest. lIalfof the 4,5OO, 600
under cultivation is now for sale. The
extremes Of the ruling prices are Civ
en- at 81 and Sl5 per acre. Improved
farm lands range from 81 to 500 Ex-
oellent farm lands have been bought
during the last year for 81 80, 50 and
So per acre.

WOMAN TO DE HUNG. Kate O OBrien,
who murdered Bridget McDormon in
Buffalo, was on Saturday sentenced to
be executed on the 18th of December
next, She made an incohcrcnt appeal
TO the Court, saying the deed had been
done under the influence Of liquor, and
asking compassion for her two chill
dren's sake. Her remarks wero bro
ken by passionate spells of fcrying, and
when the dread words were pronoun-
ced by the Judge, she gave way to hcr
emotions and sunk upon the court
floor in n helpless condition.

THE SHOWER OF SrARs.-Tho mete-
oric shower, as witnessed last Friday
night by those who were so fortunate
as TO be out at the time it occurred,
was exceedingly grand. 1t commenced
about o'clock, u. m, and continued
until daylight. Its greatest brilliancy
was after four o'clock At five it is
estimated that from twenty TO thirty
meteors were visible, and at various
other times the same number could
be seen Their course seemed TO be
almost directly west, but few moving
in any other direction. Many Of them
left behind them a luminous track,
remaining in some instances for two
or three minutes.

THANKSGIVING DAY. - Governor
Geary dcsignates Thursday, tho 26th
day of November, as a day Of thanks
giving, being the time appointed by
the President Of the United States, a
fact to which Geary docs not advert,
in his proclamation. This is, perhaps,
some remnant of the doctrine of State
Rights, not yet oradicated from his
mind. He recites among the reasons
for thankfulness "our progress in NOR
atty and virtue" We hope this is
true Of us all, and especially Of Goary
The contested election cases of last
year exposed his completely in the
Infamous Fort Delaware fraud We
wait TO sec whether there will be any
like development in the investigation
at the coming term Of our courts II
he is not implicated in the Radical
frauds Of this year, it may impy that
he has made some progress in "mor-
atty" He excludes the Jews, by the
terms Of his proclamation, which arc
unusual but this is, probably, in
courtier.like dcfcrcuce to Grants pref
udioes We trust, however that the
Jay may bo observed by all, and that
from the whole American people there
will go up a united supplication for
divine mercy and guidance

Ron. RnfIcr. as a Pronh.t.

Ihe Nenango Spectator says: Ben
Butlor, whatever may be his partiality
for other peoples spoons and valuables
generally, is man Of good judgment.
Long ago he saw, or thought he saw,
that Grant, if elected by his party,
would be as unmanageable as the Gle
phant which the Englishman won in
a rattle.
1t is certain that there is good
time coming between Grant and the
Skimpoles of the Rump. The blunt
soldier has been flattered so long and
so much by Radical toadies that he
may want to manipulate things at
Washington without consulting Sum
nor or Ben. Butler, or any of their
class When he takes that stand, the
fun will begin. 1t would be in keep
ing with the history which the Radi-
Gals have been making for the last
few years, if the summer of 1869
should witness General Grant under
the FIRE Of Butler and his brethren as
a traitor to the party which raised
him to the Presidency.
But, what we had in view was to
reproduce what Butler said about
Grant little over one year ago, and
here it is:
