The Democrats and Conservatives
have rcapcd a rich harvest OF tho
political fields this month.
In Kentucky ihcrc was no excite

Treasurer and members OF the Legis.
laturc. A worry light vote was polled
The majority for the Democrats will
be near fihy thousand, and the Legis-
laturo noarly unanimous.
Alabama has been revolutionized
Last year the scalawags and carpet
baggcys carried the State by 1000 for
Grant, and tho whole Congressional

tho late election the Democrats and

last fall by 10000. This is a glorious
somersault, and the right road to

Reader, this desirable result has

WHAT Is IT But BRIBERY 2-The
Louisville Journal asks, "What is it
but briberyg Gen. Grant cant be
bribed, they tell us Oh no, he only
accepts tens OF thousands of dollars
from gentlemen, and bcstows offices
upon them equal in value TO the money.
Ancient Pistol scornod the word"steal"
US applied TO himsels and his fellows,
and insisted that the word "convey"
should DC substituted; and il Grants
friends want some other word used in
his case, we respectfully ineite them
to tell US what ono they would sug-
gest. -Four Of the heavy contributors
to his wealth, men that tho country
never heard of, are actually members
Of his Cabinet, and perhaps three
other contributors, not known as such
to the public, make up the rest Of the
Cabinet. We may be told that the
tact Of his selection, as four Of his
Cabinet officers, Of four cf his contrib
utors, was mere coincidence, a hap.
pening, a chance; and that he would
have selected exactly those same four
obscure individuals if they bad never
given him a dollar, but is any man
fool enough to believe this orto expect
anybody else TO believe itl Ii Grant
has not taken bribcs, bribery is but an
imaginary crime.

Il Is no longer question oSdoubt or surmise
that every member Of General Grants Cabinet

wells letter in favor Of General Stokes, the Repub

and desire Of every other member Of the Cabinet.
1t is evident from the result of the
election, that even the niggers refused
to obey the behests of Grant and his
bummers. If Grant and his Cabinet
are unable to control tho black chill
dren, born of their own loins, in their
infancy, how can they hope TO control
them when they grow up TO be men ?

A Taur STATEMENT OF fuE CAsr.-

A TRuE STATEMENT OF TUE CASE
Geary and his coniederatcs are labor
ing zealously to bring about negro
suffrage in Pennsylvania, although
checked a little in their career by late
events beyond tho Potomac. The
mere voting Of the Radical ticket is
not all they are aiming at They wish
ID introduce into Pennsylvania cheap
labor-just what they censured the
South for for over forty years They
know very. well that they cannot
coax or drive the negro from Vir.
ginia, where be has a vote, into this
State where he has no vote. Hence
tho labor Of these zealots is to the end
that Sambo can be brought among
the white laborers Of the North, 80 as
to reduce the price OF labor for the
benefit Of bondholders. A cotempo.
rary very appropriately says;
"If The working men Of Pennsylvania want 10
Good the State with Southern blacks. AZ their
competitors in labor, let thom vote the Radical
ticket This viii secure the ratification Of the
Fifteenth Amendment giving tho negroes the
right OF suffrage in our state, and this right viii
bring negroes BY tens Of thousands from The South.
TO compete VITA the laboring men Of the North

Nor DEAD YEr.-Andy Johnson's
return to the United States Senate, in
view Of the result in Tennessee. is al
most certain. This is not the least
satisfactory result of the contest in
that State Andy is bold, positive
exponent Of that class Of political ideas
that is least agreeable TO the blatant
radical rulers. He has the one grand
virtue that he win not be put down.
and, therefore, discussion in the Sen.
ate will be the less monolonoGs for his
presence. He has a Union record
that no man can impeach. He is a
Southern Senator not open TO the
carpetbag objection He is genuine
in all senses, absolutely fearless and
honest, and will "make Rome howl
from his place in the Senate with
much better effect than ever he did In
his messages He is the first Presi.
dent since John Quincy Adams whose
political vitality has not been exhaus-
ted by the Presidency.

The Mississippi election emJroglio
stands 10 this manner; The Committee
which visited Washington to ascertain
when that State was to be allowed TO
elect its own officers, were assured by
General Grant that If they would
nominate his brother-in-law for Gov
ernar, and in case Of his election send
him IRON the gubernatorial chair to
the United States Senate, they could
have an election on the first of Sep.
tcmber, as they desired The propo-
sition was accepted, Dent was tender Q !
the nomination for Governor, accepted
it, and tho election is postponed until

noting the harmony Of the Republican

The election shows that Grant &
