Grants admirers call him a sphinx, after a
creature who sat in the road near the city of
Thebes, and propounded unsolvable riddles
to perplexed travellers When these unhappy
persons failed to guess the riddles they were
incontinently gobbled up, and quietly
digested, although history is silent on the
latter point. Finally, gentleman named
Edipus came along and guessed the sphinx's
riddle, on which, as fate had decreed, the
monster laid down and died, or turned tail
and fed. The radicals think that Grant is
enough of sphinx to gobble up everybody
else in the country; but the people have
already found him out, and the Democratic
Edipus will guess him off the track in No
vember We are sorry for the General
commanding our Armies" but it can't be
helped.

mo IONGER SECTIONAL"

II Is not difficult to penetrate to the intent
of the omnibus bill, which has Just passed the
Senate and gone back to the House with
amendments, through the rhetorical vapidity
Of this passage in letter from Senator
Frelinghuysen to Grant ratification meeting
in New Jersey: Our party was once sec
tioDal; it is so no longer. In a few weeks
seven, and hope nine States will add their
large majorities to the party that makes the
Declaration of Independence its platform, and
the elevation of man its object" 1t is need
less to expose the disgusting absura{ty of this
stale cant about the Declaration of hide
pendence and the elevation of man
IN connection with the despotic spirit
and the degrading and barbarizing
policies of the dominant party. The
important feature of the above extract is the
congratulatory prediction that, in short
time, at least seven States In the South will
add their large msjorities to the sectional vote
of that party. And how is this reinforcement
to be introduced? Simply by suppressng
the actual majorities in the States referred to,
and manufacturing Fictitious majorities out of
actual minontes; in other words, by disfran-
chising the opponents of the party in the
South to such an extent as to give electoral
preponderanee 70 an inferior number of It's
adherents. And this is TO be done by
legislation, varying to suit the emer-
gencies of the hour, of the sectional
representatives OF tho party in whose in
terest it is exclusively enacted 1t is in tri-
umphant anticipation Of such a result that
Senator Frelinghuysen exclaims, with exqui-
site but unconscious irony, that his party is
no longer sectional He means to say that
Southern maiorities will cure it of section
atty. But, with the utter triumph of its
policy, there would be no longer any Southern
States to express a political voice. There
would be in the old limits of those States
only system Of rotten boroughs created and
held by the same sectional party which now
misrules the country for the sole purpose Of
maintaining it in despotic power.

FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE II, 1868.

General Sheridan, after carousing through
the North for the benefit of his radical allies,
has at last gone to fighting Indians on the
plains. At one time he thought that he was
especially cut out for the presidency, and 'ln-
deed, he was cut out at last Long before
the convention met the radicals had exhausted
Sheridan and Sheridan had exhausted him

struction of the Pacific railroad.

Senator Trumbull has written letter de-
Tending his course on the impeachment ques-
ton. He says that it was party measure
and that he was not bound to convict the
President of crimes and misdemeanors when
he did not think him guilty of them. This
is excellent doctrine; but the man who utters
it votes for measure after measure which
have no higher inspiration than party ambi-
tion and no other object than party success.
1t is astonishing how deeply radicalism has
corrupted even honest natures

ElectiOn-A Game that Two can
Play ct.

Play at.
Many Democrats believed that the
Ohio Legislature ought to have IA
''recess" until September, and then
meet again in case any contingency
required or justified it. The wisdom
of such cOurse-speaking after the
manner of the Republican Congress
siOnal leaders-is now made manifest.
The Florida and Alabama negro and
carpet-b bag Legislatures have determ-
ined to choose the Presidential elec-
tors. They are afraid to trust even
the negroes of their States in popular
election for the Presidency; and hav-
ing secured the Legislature by bayo-
nets, they are determined now not to
lose the opportunity of patching up
Grants failing chances. In this they
are but carrying out the favorite style
of the Republican leaders for the last
seven years-"do anything to, secure
and hold power" Now, had the Ohio
legislature taken a "recess till the
2lst of September" )" they could, upon
assembling, have "bIocked'' this rev.
olutionary game by providing for the
choice by themselves, OF the twenty
one electoral votes of Ohio, so as to
secure the State for Seymour and
Blair. And why not? Is not "urn
about the play ?' Is not "sauce for
the goose, sauce for the gander ?''-
Why shall the negro and carpet bag
Legislatures of Florida and Alabama
be permitted to choose Grant and
COlfax electors for their States, and
the legitimately chosen white Legis-
lature of this State, not choose Sey-
mOur and Blair electors for Ohio ?
And it is perhaps not too late yet.
Acting according to Republican no
tions, the Democratic majority could
assemble at Columbus at any time,
and rescind the resolution in regard
to the adjournment, and then proceed
with the necessary legislation, and
then adjourn till the 10th of Novem-
Der, and then choose the electors
What could Congress do in that
event? Would it count the electoral
votes OF Alabama and Florida? If
so they must count Ohio also, and,
arithmetically, the case would stand
thus: 2l minus 3, plus s, equal 10
clear Democratic gain by the opera
ton.
We shall certainly carry Ohio on
the popular vote, and thus secure the
State absolutely for Seymour and
Blair. But we desire Republicans to
learn that choosing electors by Legis-
htures is 'game that two can play
at."- Dayton Ledger.
