The Peoples Nan.

The Springfield (Ills) Journal prints
the following good article:
General Grant, though not politician,
has a parenthetical way of stating great
truths and sententiou8 facts which is re-
markable.
AS early as the second year of the war,
in "a letter to Mr.. Washburne. he writes !;
Il never was an Abohtionist not even
what could be called anti-slavery-but
try to judge fairly and honestly, and it
became patent to my mind early in the
rebellion that the North and South could
never live in peace with each other ex-
cept as one nation, and that without sla-
very"
And again, GAS anxious as I am to see
peace established, [ would not, therefore,
be willing to see any settlement until this
question is settled"
In his general order to his soldiers af-
ter the capture of General Lee, in refer
ring to the enforcement of the emancipa-
ton proclamation, he calls slavery the
cause and pretext of the rebellion.
In his famous letter to the President,
while acting as Secretary of War ad i,ste-
rtna, he says: 81 stated that the law was
binding upon me, constitutional OF not
until set aside by the proper tribunal
doctrine that will do to stand by.
In his testimony before the Impeach-
ment Committee, he says: 81 have al
ways been attentive to my own duties,
and tried not to interfere with other peo-
pies, And again, I never was il
favor of general amnesty until the time
should come when it would be safe to give
it."
In his correspondence with President
johnson in reference to the removal ot
Gen. Sheridan from the district of Louis
lana, he says "Fhis is republic where
the will Of the people is the law of the
land. L beg that their voice may be
heard"
In MS speech to the committee ap
pointed to inform him of his nomination
he said IF chosen President, [ shall
have no policy of my own to enforce
against the will of the people"
In his letter accepting the Republican
nomination, he says: Purely admins
trative officers should always be left tc
execute the will of the people, I have
always respected that will, and always
shall.
These are only samples of Gen. Grant 5
manner OF expressing great truths, ,culled
at random from our files; but they are
apples of gold in pictures of silver,
and show to the people the manner OF
man he is.

Miles O'REILLEY.-Gen. Halpine,
editor of the New York Citizen who is
now working for Chase, very strongly in
Inmates that he will exert all his influence
to defeat Pendleton, if that great repudi-
ator is nominated at New York. He
says:
What the loyal Conservative Soldiers
Convention at Cooper Institute may do
or may not do, is left TO conjecture; but
we hold the truth to be indisputable,
that it Will not indorse any copperhead
candidate or platform. Give us Chase
or Hancock and we are with you heartily !;
give us any loyal Democrat and we will
support him but the Democratic soldiers of
the Union will not sustain any candidate
whose election would be a censure
of the four most important years of their
Gves-the years in which they served
under the flag of our country.

prised and pleased to see such stirring
/ times. We had thought Mamtowoc a
smart town, and had considered the
chances in favor of Milwaukee for being
the largest city in the state, when com
pared with US, as rather doubtful, but on
the whole.think our town will have to
grow a little more. Milwaukee men are
waking up to the fact that liberality is
an essential element of success, and never
have they put that maxim into practical
exercise to a greater extent than when
last week they opened their doors to
receive the knights of the quill and
scissors. Nothing which could be done
to make our stay pleasant was omitted
Westepped into West & Co.'S, and found
that firm doing a good trade, all the result
OF industry and straightforward dealing
| That house aims to be one of the best in
the country and we think it will. We
also called at Nazro Il Co.'S. This gen
tlemanly firm are ambitious; they are
not satisfied with supplying this state so
they advertise in Chicago and propose to
furnish the whole Northwest. Good ;
nerue will win. But we wander, though
this article is expected to contain little
of everything.
The banquet at Milwaukee furnished
by its leading men was splendid success
They know how to do things about right
:.l the Newhall House, and on this occa-
sion no pains were spared to make the
occasion one long to be remembered. On
the bill Of fare everything that the taste
could crave was named and the whole
repast was served in the most magnificent
style imaginable The scenes and Incl
dents which trarspired at that table were
well worthy of record. Matt Carpenter
Esq, responded to the toast ''Our Coun-
try In speech Of great eloquence and
power and Tx Governor Salomon respon-
ded to TheArmy and Navy in ia manner
which brought down thunderous ap-
plause. 1t was one of the best speeches
of the evening. Judge Hubbell made a
neat witty speech which the editors were
nightly pleased with. Lutte Taylor
responded to ''The ladies'" making
some glorious hits, convulsing the whole
company with laughter, and as he finally
brought his remarks to close his hearers
broke forth in loud uproarous cheers.
The banquet terminated with hearty cheers
for Milwaukee, and ensconced in Pull
man palatial sleeping cars we started
on our way to St. Louis at midnight well
pleased with our entertainment ''as far
as we had got" We hope to get further
with this article next week.

A COOP LOOKING SET-The Wiscon-
san say it was generally remarked by the
ladies of Milwaukee yesterday that fin
er looking set of men than the editors of
Wisconsin and Minnesota could not be
found in any profession, and we believe
the ladies were correct. Those who ex-
pected to see a hungry looking, poorly
dressed, pinched faced, out-at the-elbows
set, were agreeably disappointed. Evil
IDENTIFY the printing business has been
good the last year, for the editors looked
plump and hearty, wore the latest styled
clothes, had rosy cheeks, and not rosy
noses, and looked men in the face with an
honest, intelligent, Independent yet pleas
ing gaze as if to say ''the world wags
well with me- 1t is pleasure to look
at such body of men, and our people
hope to see them often. Those who had
contracted strange ideas Of the "press
gang" have them no longer. The editors
are men, and the right kind of men too.

Nearly all the great captains of the
war the real fighting men, are in favor OF
Grant and Colfax. Among them are
Sherman, Meade, Sheridan, ,Sickles, Geo.
H. Thomas, Hooker, Pleasanton, Nc
Dowell, Candy, Emory, Schofeld, Now
er Ord. Halleck, Fitzpatrick, Logan,
Rawlings, Hawley and Crawford. Many
of these were formerly Democrats, but
they know the worth and greatness
of their old leader, and give him cor
dial support. The Copperhead press
will have hard job to convince these
men that Grant is either knave or a
| fool.

WELL PUT-At Holly Springs, Miss,
recently, while General S. L. Alcorn was
urging the rebels not to vote down the
constitution, as they could not tell what
would be the evil results, Preacher Mar
tin interrupted him with the remark,
Wen risk it. With mingled look Of
sorrow and reproach the General replied
eyes, you'll risk it, but remember you
risk it for me as well as for you. You
risked it in '6l, and you risked it then
for me as well as for you. My sons, as
well as yours, came not back from the
wars my fields, as well as yours, were
destroyed : my property, as well as yours
was destroyed.

Germans were victorious, having eject

particulars of the above riot we are in

his information from passenger resid-

through the streets to the sound of the

We clip the following from the Du-
buque Times of abe 26 tn:
a fearful tragedy has recently been
enacted at Alma, a small town on the
Mississippi river, ten miles below Wa
bashaw, resulting in the death OF two
respected and useful citizens, and dan
gerously wounding number of others.
Last Wednesday afternoon number
of raftsmen, of the toughest and most
impudent type, entered the town we
have mentioned for the purpose OF
indulging in drunken carousal, having
first secured their raft to the shore
They entered some of the saloons IN
large numbers and calling for whlskey.
Knowing their object and fearing the
consequences that must inevitably ensue
the saloon keepers refused to give them
any. Enraged at this the raftsmen or
ganized themselves together in body,
and proceeded to the task of demolish-
ing every drinking establishment
in the place This was soon accomplish
ed when fred with rage and wishing to
wreak still further vengence, they attack
ed the stores aud private residences, and
maltreated the inmates, besides commit
ting other outrages too numerous to
mention About three colck when
the riot was at its height, the sheriff of
the county. accompanied by his deputy,
appeared on the ground and attempted
to restore order, when some of the RATS
men drew their revolvers and shot him
and his companion dead and then fired
promiscously into the crowd dangerously
wouuding number of others By this
time it began to look like pitched bat
lie, and alarmed for the safety Of their
homes and property the German citizens
constituted themselves into a vihgance
