BOURBON, Nov. 8

BOURBON, Nov. ..
Ed. DEMOCRAT:-
To use an entirely original expression
I record with reference to our condition
generally, that
Everything is lovely.
And the goose hangs high"
This satisfactory state of affairs we at
tribute mainly to the absence of the le-
gal profession who are in attendance on
court at Plymouth. Our j. P.'s have
been absent, too, most of the time for
week past, and as consequence we
have been free to pursue the even tenor
of our way with none to modest or make
us afraid. A good many of our law
abiding citizens have also been absent,
judging from the fact that about one
hundred railroad tickets to Plymouth
were sold during the week. This item
shows plainly that we are having entire
ly too much litigation. The custom of
taking every petty little grievance to
court for settlement should be abolished.
Nine cases out of ten costs double the
the amount in dispute, and could be
settled by the use of little of the spir-
it of compromise by the parties con-

The Lapse Of Years.

The Detroit Free Press places In
juxtaposition two remarkable features
in the career of General Grant: -"On
Wednesday President Grant arrived in
Pittsburg, and was Most obsequiodsly
received by his radical friends and sup
porters. Just three years 20 a day
anterior to that time he was in Pitts
burg with President johnson, and was
publicly insulted by the very politicians
who are now so ready to even lick his
boots in consideration for his fayors
The difference rested in the fact that
i'm 1866 he was understood to be the
friend and supporter OF the reconstruc-
ton policy then advocated by President
johnson, and that supposition was true
Now he is the Chief Executive of the
nation, elected as compliment to hin
for his infdelity TO the principles ant
policy he then supported. 1t was the
treason these men felt called upon II
compliment. not the traitor"

GRANTS ENEMIES.

General Walbridge, of New York, In
an address to the president, a few days
ago, said that more than half of the ma
tional debt would be paid before the ex-
piration of Grants second term.
Tn reply tho r-os;3e-.s cid. - cab
stance, that he was weary of the office,
and impatient for bis term to expire
This has produced for him many ex-
pressions of sympathy and coincidence
from the republican press. He is rep
resented as man worn down by the
cares and responsibilities Of the chief
magistracy. and stung by the assaults
and ingratitude of the democratic news
papers.
If his skull is not as thick as that ofthc
average 'man and brother and his inte.-
lect ofabout the same order, he would
perceive the irony underlying the meth
DDS taken by republican newspapers to
profess friendship for him, and defend
him and keep him before the people"
Not many days ago the New York
Tribune gave his military reputation as
savage a stab as could well be inflicted
on 1t, under pretence of criticising
McClekan's. campaigns against Bich-
mond.
The New York iSxa recalls the i'm
parchment of his veracity by President
johnson and his cabinet, in saying that
it is well for Grants reputation that he
has denied that he was a party to the
gold conspiracy, because without such a
denial the circumstantial and other evil
dence against him would condemn him
The Sun adds: The people will be-
lieve the president" How can this fail
to bring to mind the manner in which
he was branded for fslseEood and peril
dy BY johnson and his cabinet?
In speaking of the cares and response
bilities of the president, the republican
press ironically speaks of the easy man
ner In which those cares and response
bilities have been put off They do not
accompany him to Long Branch, or to
Newporo or to Saratoga. They were not
with him when learning to dance In
crowded bathrooms. He banished them
from the horse-racesy which afforded
KIN sincere delight. He left them at
Washington when he attended the we'd
ding of Bishop Simpsons daughter
They were far from him when he and
Jim Fisk make pleasure excursions and
had sweet and friendly converse togcth-
er. They were absent when heand, Jay
Gould debated financial policies in the
pleasant parlors of the very pious Cor
bin.
Hamlet complained that they fooled
hln up to the top OF his bent or made
hin, play the fool to the extent of his
capacity, and this seems to be the in
tention Of numberless "loyaP' men in
regard to Grant They entice him to
make himself ridiculous, and speak of
him in such manner, while protesting
warm esteem for him.. as constantly to
recall his incapacity as general and in
civil life; his "great want of veracity:"
his itching palm, and the proofs that he
has gambled with the peoples money,
and won, because he played with loaded
dice.
In all this the republican press seems
to make sure that GRAFT shall not be

it no blessing to overweight those whom
he benefited with sense of their de-
pendence, and argued to himself that
the good done would be Ill the greater
by making the poor free agents in it.
He would not maintain paupers, for
that was the work of society by other
means; he wished TO help tho poor to
help themselves. Consequently, he
thought it wise to charge rent below
the average, but to give far better &C
commodations than ever private land
lords could offer. He might also have
reckoned upon creating desire to build
a better kind of dwellings than have
usually been erected for tenants.
-Four great buildings, known by the
name OF Peabody, have been erected in
four Of the poorest quarters Of. London.
They seemed not TO have quite filled
their builders design. In the Shad-
well quarter, it was said that two rooms
in private house could be had fw as
little as those in the Peabody bsilding.
The former were dirty, thelatter clean;
but the tenants of Mr.. Peabody were
required to keep their premises ciean,
and did not like to do it.
They had to scrub rooms and places
in common and grew to think that this
benevolence of compulsory cleanliness
