The WAY IT OPERATES. During the
war every rebel victory sent up the price of
gold and every Union victory caused it
to fall.
After the nomination of Grant gold at
once fell, and Government securities ad
vanced
When the Democrtic Convention met gold
sold TOR l40. As soon as Seymour was nom
mated it rose to 1923; as soon rs his letter
OF acceptance was published it rose to I493.
Since the Vermont and Maine elections
gold has declined, aud stands at about IA.
and Government securities have made
handsome advance.
Let the people ponder these facts

ance with previous arrangements, the Re
publlcans of Osceola and vicinity met at

for the club room, we erected stand ont
side, IN the lot. Our patriotic lady friends
decorated the stand spIendidly with ever
green wreaths, flags, etc One wreath con-
tained the portrait of Gen Grant, another
that of Colfax, and third that of the la
mented Lincoln. The asse,nblage was ad
dressed by I. Fl. Murray, Esq, of Clear
field, and Capt. A b. Hutchison. of Belle
ionte, who held the throng spell bound. as
1t were, by their convincing arguments. for
three and half hours The meeting ad
journed with three cheers for the Republi-
can candidates. and three for the speakers;
after which the people dispersed in good
order, and well pleased with the able ad-
dresses to which they had listened. You
may look for good news from Osceola at the
coming election Yours. RAD.

Carr, and Simon jury, Vice Presidents
and A. L. Hoover, Secretary
Capt A. B. Hutchison was then called
on to address the meeting, and, presume,
he spoke plainly enough ON the subjects of

comprehend the questions, if they had
desire so to do.
L. II. Murray, Esq, next addressed the
meeting, briefly and to the point He was
followed by j. FL Fulford, Esq, who spoke
but short time on account of the ateness
OF the hour, when the meeting adjourned
The people then dispersed well pleased

such as used to be given by Seymour friends
down South after a rebel victory.
Respectfully yours, GIRARp.

Acceptance of Grant and CoIfAx.-
Gen. Grant Makes speech.
He Accepts from a sense OF Duty.
Not from Choice.

WASHINGTON, May GA Commit
tee of the Soldiers and Sailors Con-
vention called on General Grant this
evening and formally presented him
with copy of the platform of princi-
pies OF their Convention. After a
lively hand.shaking, Col Alleman, of
Pennsylvania, delivered few compli-
mentary remarks. General Grant
spoke in reply as follows: "Gentlemen
of the Soldiers and Sailors Conven-
ton, will say that while 1t was never
a desire of mine to be candidate
for political office. It affords me great
qualification TO feel that have the sup
port of those who were with me in the
war. If did not feel that 1 had the
confidence of those, / would feel less
desirous of accepting the position.
The acceptance of the Office is not n
matter of choice but of duty. Hoping,
having accepted the nomination, l will
receive your aid till next November,
must thank you, gentlemen, for the
honor you have conferred upon me-"
The affair took place in the presence
of the Committee of the Convention,
with whom was Gems. Gregg, Rawlins,
Badean, Porter, Comstock, Dent and
Babcock, Coils. Parker, Webster and
Lee of the Generals staff. After few
moments conversation General Grant,
extended a cordial invitation to the
SOhnlLtee 10 Dc present AI MS EeSluence
this evening on the occasion of the
formal presentation of his nomination
by the National Convention.
The Committee then lett the Generals
Head. quarters for the Capitol TO offer
their congratulations to Speaker Col
fax. At two o'clock the Committee
were received by Mr.. ColfaX in the
Speakers room of the Capitol. After
greeting the Committee with his custo-
mary cordiality, and listening to few
remarks by Col. Alleman, Mr.. Colfax
responded briefly with assurance that
If the ballot box should ratify the
nominations at Chicago, his fidelity
to principle and devotion to the Union
would show that their confidence had
not been misplaced. A copy of the
platform of principles was presented
TO the Speaker. The Committee after a
few moments retired, and the Speaker
returned to his duties in the House of
Representatives.
