Shame.

The Detroit Free Press refers to
Gen. Grant as 1.-The staggering Gen
eral." Such use of that epithet is a
shame and disgrace to any Journal.
Whether General Grant eyer "stag-
gered," we know not; but we have
good assurance that his habits in re-
spect to the use of Intoxicating liq-
uors, for years past at least, have
been better than those of the aver
age Of public men. It certainly
does not become the Democratic
press to indulge in criticism of that
kind. How far would the Free
Press have to go in its own party to
find staggering" men? Would it
have to leave Detroit? We doubt
it. @ -t..-
It will be borne in mind, that while
the, Democracy were looking with
hopeful eye to Gen Grant for politi
cal aid and comfort, he was a very
proper man-altogether model in
his public and private character.
They never so much as suspected
that he could "stagger." 1t was
only when the gallant leader of our
victorious "boys in blue" had made
sympathies for the Republican party
clear and unmistakable, that the hy-
pocritics of the Democratic press
were able to discover that he was
not sufficiently abstemious for them
in his beverage. His refusal to be-
come the tool of President johnson
seems to have turned every Demo
cratic editor in the land into tenn
perance advocate of the strictest
Maine-law sect. The very thought
of Intoxicating drinks, is repulsive
to them, while the idea Of "stagger
ing' utterly abhorrent. We are
glad to see it. 1t is good sign,
and Gen Grant can well afford to be
the occasion of so wonderful re-
formation in that quarter-provided
always. it be maintained. Of course
we don't question its genuineness
or expect relapse-not at all. We
must look for the Democratic Ma
tional Convention to nominate a

The Memphis rebels were not
only beaten in the municipal cleo
ton Of the 7th inst, but they were
outwitted by colored voters. The
latter were told by their secession
ist employees that they must vote
the CONSERVATIVE ticket or lose
their places. They professed great
zeal, and were much petted by the
men who hoped to get their ballots
When election day came, only one
hundred negroes, out of about five
thousand, supported the anti Re.
publican, candidates, and the one
hundred, as the Avalanche scorn
fully admits, cost the "Conserva-
tives'' $5,OOO.-Cin. Gazette.

The New-Hampshire Election.

5 =
The Republican triumph in New
Hampshire has marked effect on
the temper and spirit of the Repub-
licans, and will make itself felt on
theiraction in Congress and through
out the country. IT was the first
opportunity for an expression 1ot
popular sentiment concerning the
recent acts of the Republican Party,
its measures of reconstruction
and especially its impeachment Of
the President. The Democrats
have predicted, with great conf
dence, and many Republicans have
feared, that, whenever the people
could get a chance, they would give
an overwhelming and emphatic YER
dict against the policy of the party
on both these points.
The result does not vindicate the
prediction. The Republicans have
held their own in the first State call
ed on to judge their measures
Neither impeachment, nor the strin-
gent policy which has been adop-
ted for the readmission Of the
Southern States, has weakened them
in any important degree. They
are quite as strong in both branch
es of the Legislature as they were
last year, and their majority of the
popular vote is not materially chan
ged. The Republicans of New
Hampshire are united in support OF
the reconstruction policy Of Con
gress and the impeachment and
trial of President J johnson; and the
party in Congress certainly has rea-
son to infer that they will also sup
port the Presidents deposition from
office, and the adoption of. such
measures as Congress may deem
necessary to bring the Southern
States into the Union under work
ing Republican majolities.-N: Y

Possible Candidates.

The telegraphic report coming
from Albany that Admiral Farragut
is talked Of as Democratic candi
date for the Presidency, will be read
by those who know the gallant Ad-
miral, with irrepressible laughter.
A more uncompromising Republi-
can and outspoken Radical is not
now living. While in Columbus,
Farragut frankly and freely made
known to many of our leading citi-
zens his political views, and declar-
ed in unmistakable language his de-
testation of the policy and princi-
pies of what he termed the ''Cop-
perhead' party. ,.aa -~:.
It is an unlamentable fact that
the terrified Democracy are sorely
pressed for suitable candidate for
the Presidency. Seymour's record
is too heavy load to carry in any
State north of Kentucky. Pendle-
ton has, by means of persistent per-
sonal efforts ard incessant letter
writing, succeeded in inducing the
politicians of a few States to indorse
him in their Conventions, but he
has no hold on the masses of the
people and his name does not ex-
cite the slightest enthusiasm. He
has done nothing and made no rec
ord since he was defeated on plat
form which pronounced the war a
failure, and was himself the worse
half of a ticket which proved in
point Of success most stupendous
failure. z... r.-.
The most reputable and decent
Democrat, and one who is qualified
to fill the office of President is Gen
eral Dix. But he probably from
the very fact Of his fitness is not
talked of. Senator Hendricks, of
Indiana, is, next to Seymour, the
best representative of the brains of
the party, and being able, resolute
and aggressive, would probably
conduct a campaign with as much
success as any other party. But
no candidate would be so sure of
getting every Democratic vote, or
so certain Of arousing unbounded
enthusiasm, as Robert E. Lee. Lee
is to day more popular than Pen
dleton in every State in the Union.
Let him be nominated so that we
may have a square fight.-Colum-

The Cleveland Leader concludes
an article on the New Hampshire
election as follows: ..- .
This election is the more signif-
icant because it is the first which
has taken place since the impeach-
ment of the President, and it may
be taken as in some sense popular
endorsement of the impeachment
proposition. The people recog-
nize the justice of the measure, and,
as the people always are, they are
delighted with it's boldness. 1t
proves popular measure with the
people. o.. s44 -.

IMpEAcHMENr.--The President

2 IMPEACHMENT.--T Presidents s
counsel appeared before the i'm
parchment court under the lead of
Mr.. Stanberyr and asked for delay
Of forty days in which to prepare
batteries and breast works for the
defence. We doubt not the Presi-
dent would appreciate delay of
eleven months and twenty-on days,
but it is really an imposition upon
the American people to grant him
eleven hours and twenty-one min
utes. However, the court is very
liberal, and after due consideration,
it was ordered that the President
file his answer on the 23d inst. We
hope that the court will not be pre-
vailed upon to grant further time.
The country demands speedy trial
and prompt expulsion Of the rene
gade. rssg t.er .s qay s.f. ..s-..

"Against all drawbacks, the Re-
pAblicans of New Hampshire held
their ground. They triumphed in
the late election over all these OBJ
structions in rallying under the flag
of General Grant as their candidate
for the next Presidency. This was,
in fact, the initial fight for testing
the popularity of General Grant as
a Presidential candidate, and the
result shows that he can not be bea-

noble evidences Of the ability OF
