MORE "THUNDER. The Black Re,
publican organs of Chicago, the day
before the election, in that city last
week said: "To.morrow's result in
Chicago will be taken as indication OF
how the West stands politically, and
how Illinois will go in November. f"
Well, Chicago has gone Democratic
by very handsome majority, and
viewing the result from the Radical
standpoint, Illinois and the entire
West will go for the Democratic can
didates in November. The "late la
mented" in 1864 carried the city by
1920 majority, and last year the
bureauites elected their city ticket by
nearly 1000, while this year the Dem
ocrats elected their ticket by 9l2 ma
iority. The old "union savers" are
evidently laundering in the West.
We wonder whether the Deacon has
heard from Michigan and Chicago.

SOUTHERN ELEoTIoNs.-The Black
and White Radicals are mourning
over the result of the so called elec-
tions held in Louisiana, Georgia,
North and South Carolina last week
They have lost nearly everything, ex-
cept in the latter State where there
are three niggers to one decent white
man. The Democrats of Georgia have
covered themselves all over with Clio
ry, by clccting Maj. Gen. Gordon,
Governor and defeating the negro
Constitution In North Carolina and
Louisiana, they have done exceeding
ly well. One election more in these
states will extinguish niggers, bureau
ties carpet bag bummers and loyalists.
These results have given the Radical
oonspirators at Washington a black
eye, from an unexpected quarter.

The stomach and the Mind.

Much of our conduct depends, no doubt,
upon the character of the food we eat. Per-
haps, indeed, the nature of our meals gov
erns the nature of our impulses more than
we are inclined to admit, because none of
us relish well the abandonment of our idea
of free agency. Bonapart used TO attribute
the loss of one of his battles to poor din
ner, which. at the time, disturbed his diges-
ton; how many ofour INSTRUMENTATION
many of our deliberate errors-how many
of our unkindnesses, our cruelties, our acts
of thoughtlessness and recklessness, may be
really owing to cause of the same charac-
ter? We eat something that deranges the
the systim. Through the stomach nerve
that arrangement Immediately affects the
brain Moroseness succeeds amibility sue
ceeds and under the influence We do that
which would shock our sensiblli5y at any
other moment. Or perhaps a gasric irreg-
ularity is the common result of an over
indulgence in wholesome food, on mod
crate indulgence in unsuitable food. The IL
yer is afflicted. In this afiic3ion the brain
profoundly sympathizes. The temper is
soured the understanding is narrowed
prejudices are strengthened generous inn
pulses are subdued selfshness, originated
by physical disturbances, which perpetual
ly distract the minds attention, becomes a
chronic mental disorder the feeling Of
charity dies out we live for ourselves a.
lone we have no care for others. And all
this change ofnature is the consequence of
an iniuditious diet.

the extreme not only 10 the General but TO his sym
pathzing audience; and little jesse his son, seemed
TO suffer the most in this prolonged interval. AT
last his patience was exhausted, and he cried out
Father, why don't You say something
A burst Of applause from the assembly greeted
this speech and it plain that Jesse had said the
right word at the right time. Inheriting some of
his fathers military genius he had made demon
stration which turned the attention of the company
for the. time from the embarrassed General, who,
taking advantage OF the diversion, renewed the on
slaught upon his pockets and brought forth the
written paper for which he mad been searching

simple expression of his thanks set forth in solid

DEAR SR;s had the pleasure Of attending the
Teachers Conyention on two days Of its recent ses-
SION, at Nashville, and was much pleased with the
important and deeply Interesting proceedings.-
One ossct Of che Convention seemed TO be 20 mould
public sentiment by the discussion Of those cues
tons vital to the success Of general educational in.
tefests IN sl our institutions of learning from the
preparatory school TO the highest grades Of colleges
and institutes
The members Of The Convention, representing a
large number Of States eyinced zeal and DISPLAYED
learned ability, which, feel assured, win exert
salutary influence upon Cur whole country. During
the discussion Of tbs wednesday evenings session
an event occurred very happy in its character with
which was so much pleased that ask TO note il.
Major General o. D. Howard was called on for a
speech, and in responding struck the true keynote
Of our present American educational interests II
was this. I Reproduce the substance Of what he
said on that point: Our great American interests
demand large liberalty in the interests of educa-
ton. Our field Of action is great and our efforts
must not be circumseribed by passion and prejudice
We must 90 do'on 70 tie bottom Of society and lift IL
up. Those who are thirsting for knowledge must

was glad 10 sec that Gen. Howard was not only
listened 10 with earnest attention by the Conven-
tion, but that his sharp points were received with
enthusiastic applause. L would like to make this
suggestive inquiry Why cannot large number of
similar conventions be gotten up at leading points
through our State II not in every county, al
least in each Congressional District. Let men Of
large experience rs educators and ability IS public
speakers, be occurred 20 thoroughly discus the most
approved modes Of public instruction. Thereby
vital energy viii be infused and diffused through

and with it wealth will be acquired as it opens the

Letter from w. p. MelIen, Former
treasury Agent.
10 the Editors Of The Eoeaiag Post

- - -''''o y TIC LoeItthy E-O3L
la Saturday paper you express satisfaction that
the SANDER has been denied which accused Gen.
Grant Of venslity or favoritsm in granting 10 Mack
Brothers permit to trade, during the war through
the influence Of his father | can not think that
any accusation of that character against Gen. Grant
needs refutation. But, as others differ from me- ]
will give my testimony for such use as you may
think proper TO make of il. All trade in territory
recovered to our possession by the Western armies
was conducted under my general supervision, sub
Jec to the regulations of the Secretary of the Treas
ury, from the beginning TO the end of the war This
made it necessary that should be constantly con-
terriDg with Gen. Grant and other commanders of
the Western armies in regard 20 their views and
wishes concerning the trade in the rear and also
with the assistant agents Of the Treasury Depart
ment, who issued the permits. j am satisfied that
no permit 10 trade could have been given by Gen
Grant which would not have come TO my knowl-
edge, and feel certain that ne never gave one 70
anybody at any time or for any purpose He steadi-
ly and uniformly refused to have anything to do
with matters Of trade except 70 general regula-
tons and orders which the operations of the army
made necessary. l could name numerous instances
Illustrating his action in this respect. Soon after
he entered Vicksburg he desired TO have the cili-
zens supplied with neCessares without drawing from
bis commssary stores. This could only be done by
traders and the fewer the number the less trouble
be would have in watching them. He therefore
limited the number 10 two. As this would create
monopoly very profitable 70 those who should re
ceive the permits ! insisted that he should name
the traders, but he absolutely refused TO do it, al
though near relative was pressing to be one of
them. At another time, while in Vcksburg, he
thought brother-in-law had been guilty of i'm
proper action connected with trade there, and i'm
mediately ordered him north of the Ohio. II seems
10 that denial Of such SANDER implies that Gen.
Grants character needs defense and this think l
have had opportunity 20 know is not true. A purer,
juster and more incorruptible man never was as
sailed by meaner or falser sccusers. WISH there
fore TO add, that have written this not because
think it necessary 70 defend Gen, Grant, but because
am requested TO do it by other friends of his.
Very respectfully, &C. VIM p. MELl.EE.
