As nearly as we can fin1 out, the trouble
is with the Postmaster at Alexandra. who
is miserable Copperhead. He either does
not understand his business or does not at
tend to it. His hatred Of Republicanism
is so great that he does all in bis power to
injure the papers Of that party. and We I'M
derstand that THE JOURNAL is the object Of
his special malevolence. and that he does
not deliver it when he can possibly avoid
doing so. This is not the first complaint
Of this corner-grocery "Nasby" that We
have received, and We would respectfully
call the attention of the Department to his
derelictions of duty.

pL Judging from the tone of the Rad.
ical press throughout the United States,
a great amount of enthusiasm has not
been elected by the nomination of Grant
and Colfax. The members of that party
thought Grant their only hope-it was
Hobson's choice-but DOW that they have
selected him as their STANDARD bearer his
name does not meet with half the appro-
baton at first supposed. Colfax, who
was supposed to be one Of the strongest
men in the party, does not seem to add
much weight to the ticket. We have
seer q prediction 10 one Of our exchanges
to the effect that Grant will be as badly
defeated as Gen. Scott was in 1852, de.
spite his great military prestige. In Or
der that the prediction shall be verified.
the Democracy must be careful 10 their
nominations to make the best selections
from the party roll.

ing made by New Orleans to prevent it,
we do not know, as the press of that city

the prediction that the three cities most
