GENERAL POLITICAL NEWS.

MIR. Pike is thrown overheard by the Radi-
calls Of the Fifth Maine District, because he
goes in for taxing the bonds. They call him
TURNPIKE.
-Leavenworth held an immense meeting
for Seymour and Blair Saturday night. Hiram
q. Grant passed through the town the day be-
fore, and only the postmaster was so poor az
| to do him reverence.
The State Central Democratic Committee
of Kentucky have issued stirring address Tor
organization and work. Kentucky is good Tor
majority, whereof the puzzle is whe ther it
shall be 90 900 or 100000. We advise the latter.
Then it will nearly be up to that of New York
The Cincinnati Chronicle, the vapidest
paper in theState, says: "Grant us U. s. Grant
should be every patriots prayer" Fthe piety
of the Chronicle does not exceed its punning,
the expected dissolution OF the paper W i'll take
it straight to Thad Stevens penitentiary.
-"Fire your guns" said poor laboring
man in Detroit, while the Radicals were ratity-
ing Grants nomination. 'You can't fool me
any longer. voted your ticket until it takes
three dollars to buy what used to get for sew
enty-6ve cents, and now think it's about time
for change"
| MIR. Greeley declares that the Republicans
are delighted with the nomination of Govern
or Seymour. That's so; many are so delight
ed that they intend to vote for him. Chief
Justice Chase, Senator Doolittle, Senator Dix
on, Charles Francis Adams, Andrew johnson,
and probably Thad. Stevens. are among the

The Cincinnati Commercial, riotous
Radical paper, says:
The Republican party has r: :ached a point
| where it is necessary to face the choice OF
speedy disbanding or an enunciation Of q poll
cy for the government of the country upon
which the Organization can appeal to the peo-
pie with reasonable confidence.
Having reached that point" they have
taken Summers advice to Stanton, and "stuck. :
Hon. John Young Brown, cheated out Of
his seat from the Ninth Kentucky District, de-
|. clines to be candidate because herefuses to
let the Radical party have pretext, as far as
he is concerned, for disiranchising the people
Of his district, by foisting man upon them as
repre- -en.ative who had been rejected by q
majority of thousands. Mr.. Young might as
well run and be elected again. The next
House will be Democratic, and no such crea-
ture as Mckee will be able to misrepresent
Kentucky.
The Chicago Times (Democratic) declares:
sGovernor Seymour does not get drunk; he
never was political apostate." To which the
New York Times lad inter,m) assents and in
quires: But how about the other man ?" Well,
we must refer the Times lad irterun) to Wen
dell PHILIPPE, who declares that 'the other
man" (Grant) cannot stand up before glass
OF whiskey without falling down, aud to Chas.
Sumner, who called "the other man" tGrant) o
whitewasher, in 1865.
The Cincinnati Gazette very truly asserts
that during the war Grant wrote fewer and
briefer dispatches than any other General ,
That's true; he wrote barely any at all. Raw

on this line, if it takes oil summer" &c. The
only order Grant is actually known to have
written is that one defaning the whole Jewish
race, and expelling all the Jews from Tennes-
gee. But as an offset to these slew and briel
dispatches" which Grant did not write, he can
claim the credit Of having lost more men in
STEW and brief" battles than any other General.
