Journal of August 10th. narrates an outrage
perpetrated ON General Grant on the occa-
sion of his passage through Gainesville. A
Democratic meeting had been held in town
that day, and on breaking up. gang under
the leadership of some ruffians, repaired to
the depot where General Grant was expect
ed to arrive. General Grant had raised the
window of the car for the purpose of shaking
hands with some friends whom he recog-
nized, when one of the rowdies more impu-
dent than the rest. rushed to the window,
and shouting "Hurrah for Seymour and
Blair" violently struck General Grant in
the face with his hat. This is the result of
the teachings of certain Democratic newspa-
pers, of the Brick Pomeroy style, and they
are morally responsible before the American
people. 1t is little singular that no refer
ence to this gross outrage to public officer
of the Government, has been made by the
telegraph. II adds to the proof that the
preparation of the overland dispatches is in
partisan hands.

DEMOCRATIC INcoNsIsTENcY.-The Vir-
ginia Enterprise has the following in reference
to the Reporters charges against one of its
old friends and fellow workers:
The Sacramento Reporter has suddenly
awakened to the shocking realization that
Allen P. Dudley's reputation for truth and
veracity is not of the most imaculate order.
1t publishes string of testimony to that eff
feet procured during the celebrated impeach-
ment trial of Judge Hardy, in 1862. Up to
this canvass ZAP has been one of the most
honored "war-horses" of the Democracy,
and as long as he footed his horn for the
"Unwashed," the latter were perfectly
different as to whether he was great pre-
varicator or a man of profound truth. The
fact that they are now raking up "APs" rep
utation for veracity is an unintentional hon.
age paid to the Republican party. 1t proves
that truth, even in their estimation, is quail
ifcation of the first importance to a Union
teacher. but perfectly immaterial requisite
in Democratic leader. That ZAP was
great falsifer when Democrat is perhaps as
natural as that he will cherish the beauties
of truth and candor while Union man.
Human nature at the best is weak, and we
are all more or less Influenced by our sur
roundings.
APPRopR1ArE.-The Democrats of Nor
canton, Va, have hoisted the Confederate
flag in that place, with the names of Seymour
and Blair inscribed thereon.
Weekly Calaveras chronicle., 1868-09-05

The Sacramento Reporter. in its issue of
Monday last. devotcs column of abuse to
Hon. A. P. Dudley, simply because that
gentleman refuses to support the Rebel Cen
erals ticket, and has come out for Grant and
Colfax. 1t refers TO the Hardy trial and
parades the names of bakers dozen of blat-
ant secessionists who testified upon that oc-
casion. We have not the slightest doubt
but that an equal number of rebels can be
easily procured to swear to anytlang against
any Union speaker in the State. Copper
head abuse of the witnesses who testified in
the Hardy case did not prevent the impeach-
ment Of that individual, neither will the ii.
rade of invective with which the rebel press
is assailing those who have taken the stump
for the Union cause, have any effect upon
intelligent people. The detection of Mr..
Dudley is severe blow to the Democracy
or they would not vince so under it. Thev
are pouring out their "vials of wrath" upon
his head, but he can come as near standing
it as any one we know of.

A "MATRIMoNIAL OFFICE" has been estab-

towing from an advertisement of the concern:
ssThe entire management and control of this
Office is in charge of the Corresponding Secretary
lady of discretion, mature years, and conscien-
tious Christian principles, united with large expe-
rience and close observation Of society, and of

after satisfactory evidence is given that Marriage
is intended.
We are opposed to this cold -blooded,
matter-of-fact, business-like method of s.do-
ing the business" Without any experience
in such matters, we have always had an idea
that the courtship-the gradual consolida-
ton of the two hearts which are ..to beat
as one"-the little, delicious preliminaries
which generally precede the celebration of
the great event, were about the best part of
the whole institution. It's our candid opin-
ion that fellow who hasn't got nerve enough
to do his own "courting' would make a
poor apology for a husband; and woman
who can't get married without resorting to
