GEN. CRANE THINKS. -Thc ash
ington correspondent of the New York
Hcrd'd Of the 2Sth says
Gen. Grant paid an unexpected visit
to the Capitol to-day. Passing out Of
the building he met Vermont friend,
at wAom he winked knowingly. The
significance of this wink is thus OK
planned by the Nermonter: Some time
ago the Ncrmonter told Grant he want
ed to get President Johnson to appoint
u friend to a certain position in his
State. He succeeded in obtaining The
appointment, and when Ora II met the
Vermonter to-day he remarked, IVY ell,
WELL see you got your friend that APP
pointment. How men who accept APP
pointments under Johnson viii stand
under President Grant . don know
Saying which Grant winked, which
the VermOnter CONSTITUTES to be favorable
to his protege under the next adminis
tration. Such are the tritles men here
grasp at rs indicating Grants inten-
tions.

HORRIBLE DEATH.-Last week, Mr..
s. ". McClelland left his home in
Carthage to visit neighboring town.
He rode along for two or three miles
very comfortably. On the road he over.
took Miss Blivins, to whom he was
engaged to be married. She was also
mounted, and gaily dressed, and had a
scarlet ribbon for a sash. The horse of
Mr.. McClclland seemed to become
frightened at the sight of the dazzling
colors, and became restive. The rider,
however, managed him pretty we'll, and
continued to jog on by the side of Miss
Blivins until that thong ghtlcss young
lady gave him slight tip Of her whip,
when he started off like a streak. She
spurred up her little mare after the en-
ragged horse, but was speedily left be-
hind. The horse rushed madly on, and
in crossing broken part of the road,
two miles from Lebanon, in Wilson
County, he threw his rider violently to
the ground. The riders foot caught
in the stirrup, and he was dragged along
the rough road at the rate of twelve
miles an hour, at the heels of the infu-
rated horse. His bones were nearly
all broken, and he was gashed and man
gled up in most frightful manner
The horse did not stop until he ran
into the square at Lebanon, when no
fell down exhausted, and died in a few
minutes. The mangled lemains of the
rider were gathered up, put il box,
and sent back to his friends.

REPUBLICAN RE-ORGANIZATIoN.-
Following close upon the breach among
radical and conservative Republicans in
Virginia and Tennessee, which resulted
in the recent triumphs of liberal prlncl-
Piles in the South, we have the news
from New York city that the new Re
publican organization, called the Union
Republican Central Committee, has
held an adjourned meeting, and issued
an address to the Republicans of New
York city and State, setting forth the
causes that have led to the present
movement, and detailing the corrupt
practices of other Republican organiza-
tions. The main object Of the new par
ty organization, as set forth in tho ad-
dress, is to express, the disgust the
mass Of the Republicans at the
frauds perpetrated in the district as
sociations in which the little cliques
of thrco or four have kept entire control
of such associations, and prevented that
"reform in the party in New York so
vital'y essential to save it from ruin and
give it prosperity and success"

The expcnse..of taking the census OF
this State, ordered by the last opulent
Legislature, will be at least 100000
according to an estimate of Radical
official. The United States takes the
census of 1870, and it would seem that
reasonable economy would suggest that
separate census might be dispensed
with, especially in the impoverished con-
dition Of the State.

Every one having family dependent upon
him for support should effect an insurance on
his life for their benefit in case Of his decease;
the rich, because they have the means to pro-
vide against the chances of fortune; the poor
man can spare little every year for the fu-
| ture wants of those who may, be left destitute,
the professional man, while in life and health,
finds sure means of support for his family,
| vet he rarely accumulates fortune: the sal
aried man, because none are more exposed 10
the changes and vicissitudes OF fortune. In
short. Life Assurance is applicable to all cir
| cumstances in life.
AN EXCELLENT FEATURE.
The character oil this company specially
provides that a wife can insure the life Of the
husband for the benefit of herself and children,
free from any claims, dues or demands Of his
creditors in case her husband should die in
debt or the estate become insolvent.

cotton consuming nations of Europe to
increase the production of that plant in
India, Egypt and Turkey, have failed
entirely, and that the United States will
find a satisfactory demand for all the
cotton that can be raised in the South.
1t is calculated that if the English cot
ton manufactures had during the seven
years after 1861 increased in the same
ratio,as during the FIVE preceding years,
the hands would also have increased to
100000 over the number employed in
1861, whereas the factory population is
now 10000 less than it was in 1851
From this fact it is argued that India
and Egypt did not fill the deficit caused
in England ty the stoppage of the i'm
portation of American cotton.
