NOT SUITED.

NUT SUITED.
Our friend of the Courier does noti
ike Grants appointments. 1t is
very. shabby of Grant not to endeav
or to suit Glessner q little better in |
the matter of distributing the execu.
tive spoils for it seems from the
Courier that Glessner and Grant have
been co-workers in the great work of
saving the country. That paper, of
a recent date, says: "We waged q
four years war to keep certain states
from going out of the Union" That
is, Grant and Glessner. Now, We
submit that Grant is not doing the
fair thing by disregarding the wishes
Of his co-laborer, in selecting his own
appointees.
Glessner has furthermore made the
discovery that there is q widow fill.
ing a post-office in this county, who
thinks she is as good as 8 niger"
Well, we have no reason to gainsay
the widows opinion in the premises,
but would suggest to her and her
friend Glessner, that if she is really
las good as a nigger,' people will
ind it out without publishing it in
the columns of the Courier.
We have no reason to doubt that
the widow estimates her goodness
at it's proper value, and we would
also be willing to believe that the
same widow is better "man" than
the editor of the Courier. Admit
ting the former proposition, it would
be useless to deny the latter.
Glessner had best take matters
coolly. Grant has determined to
make clean sweep of the Judases
and Esaus who sold themselves TO
Andrew Johnson, and the whining
of Democratic editors as well as the
wry faces of the bread-and-butter
brigade will 60 for naught.
Other things being equal, we are
in favor of soldiers for the offices in
the gift of the administration. but
we do not favor the retention of any
man in Office, who, for the sake OF
ssbread and butter,n followed the
apostate johnson into the Demo-
cratic party. Those are our senti
ments, neighbor.
THE ludicrous little episode in the
Senate between Senator Sprague OF
Rhode Island, and Senator Abbott
of North Carolina, which SO seriously
alarmed Senators and amused news
mongers, has happily ended in smoke,
and scarcely deserves notice, except
for its very righteousness. 1t is idle
to speculate as to the cause of the
late outburst of the Rhode Island
Senator. Whether he has become
sober, or is more than usually drunk,
is mystery. Some say he is mad
if SO, we can only say that he has "a
strange method in his madness"
There is, however, another notice.
able feature in this matter, which
cannot but excite some attention.-l
We refer to the mock chivalry of
Mr.. Abbott, the details of which
carries us back to the palmy days OF
slave rule in Congress, and reminds
Us of the pomposity and gssconade of
Bully Brooks. II dare not 90 back
10 my native state after suffering
such insult" says the mighty South
Carolinian. II dare not face my

a mongrel puppy" says
the New Hampshire carpet, ,bagger.
And, again, "the inhabitants of the
