In Indiana the Republican mas
jority for Grant was 9, 572, and the
Republican majority on joint ballot
in the last Legislature was 80.
Gov. Baker was elected by 96l ma
jority. In Iowa, Grants majority
was 46,359, and the Republican
majority in the Legislature was lO7.
Grants majority in Nebraska was
1920, and Gov. Buffers 2,49l. The
Legislature was strongly Republi-
can. In Ohio Grants majority
was Al ,428, and the Republicans
elected Sherwood Secretary of
State last year by 1888 majority.
The Legislature had 10 Democratic
majority on joint ballot. In Penn
syivania Grants majority was 2S,-
sos, andGen. Hartranft's 9,677. The
Republican majority in the Logis-
lature was y on joint ballot. The
Cincinnati Enquirer of Sept. IS
says of the prospect in Ohio:
awe yesterday conyersed with Cen
erals Cary and McCook, who have lately
been addressing meetings in different
parts of the State. They each give the
most favorable accounts of our political
prospects The people are everywhere
disposed to listen to Democratic truth.
There ID prevailing sense of dissatis-
faction with the management of our gOVs
ornamental affairs. All are Disguised
with the shocking corruption which of
late years has so disgraced and scandals
lied the country There is especially an
immense change taking place among the
workingmen. In one town, where two
hundred Of them, headed by the manager
and director Of their labor, marched to
the polls to vote for General Grant last
fall under the American flag, the same
men will this year form a similar pro-
cessiOn and vote for PendletOn. There
is no mistake, the tide is with us.'
The Democrats Of Pennsylvania
are equally sanguine Of carrying
that State. In the event tho Demos
Gratis carry Ohio and Pennsylvania,
the fifteenth amendment will be
killed so dead that it can never be
rcsurrected.

The New York Nation is an in
tensely Radical paper, and one of
the ablest journals of that party. 1t
is certainly not disposed to pass a
harsh judgment on the Grant ad,
ministration unless it be just. In
a recent issue it says of the APP
pointments made by Grant and his
cabinet:
"Granrs administration has not only
made bad appointment but, probably, some
of the worst ever made by a civilized
Christian government Oa this point,
none Of his friends and admirers, and We
count ourselves among the number, can
deny deep feeling and bitter disap-
pointment. One or two of his selections
for high public positions have really worn
the appearance Of q 'negation of God as
was happily said OF King Bomba's gov
ernment-that is a denial that there was
a moral order in the world, and that viz
tue and vice, coed and evil, were anything
better than creations Of the poets fancy,
good enough TO sing of, and write osssys
on, but which Do man of affairs was to be
expected TO treat as realities"

H. G. FOR SENATOR

When the Richmond Wing first
mentioned Horace Greeley as
proper man to represent Virginia
in the United States Senate, it was
considered huge joke. But it is
now beginning to be believed that
the Presidents brother in. law, a
DR., Sharpe, cannot possibly succeed,
and those who wish to propitiate
their Radical majesties, Grant,
Sumner & Co., seriously entertain
the project of sending the philoso-
pher Of the Tribune to represent
the Mother of States in that au.
gust assemblage. 1t is well known
that the distinguished gentleman
they complimentary noticed is a
citizen of the State of New York,
and has been for some years anx.
ious to be elected Senator from the
Empire State. His desires in this
respect have, however, never been
realized, and probably never will
be. Hence, he might consent 10
serve the State Of Virginia in this
capacity. He is a man of decidedly
more responsibility and ability than
three fourths of the present mem.
bers of the Senate, and would Ger
tainly make a more satisfactory
member than the majority of his
colleagues.
1t is true that the constitution of
the United States declares that no
person shall be a Senator who shall
not be an inhabitant of the State
for which he shall be chosen and
the constitution of Virginia requires
twelve months residence. This,
however, can all be adjusted by Mr..
Greeley moving down to the cleo
ton, and when he applies for admis-
sion to the Senate, that body can
remove his disabilities by resolu-
ton, or declare that Virginia not
having been State at the time she
adopted this constitution, the clause
above referred to is not binding
upon Mr.. Greeley.
Is it not lamentable that there
should be any portion of the people
OF the South willing to stoop so low
as to consult the Lords Of Radical
ism in the selection of United
States Senator from any Southern
State?

ROKna Ann rAxrs

There is paid into the treasury of
the United States annually from
customs about S1S5, OOO, 600, in gold.
1t takes s120,OO0,OOO of this to paw
the interest due to the bondholders
The remainder is put in the treasury
vault to be used at the will of the
Secretary of the Treasury in cons
trolling the gold market. Suppose
instead of paying this $120, 600, 600
in gold to the bondholders and ins
stead of locking up the remaining
sos, 100000, the whole of it should
be converted into greenbacks. EST
mating gold at premium of33k per
cent. the sIS5, 100000 in gold would
bring S246, 666,6662. With this
the $4,000, 600 of interest which
is now paid to the bondholders in
gold, can be paid of, and leave res
naming sl26,66 ,666S of currency.
This can be appropriated to buy up
outstanding bonds, used 10 establish
a sinking fund or otherwise diss
posed of as may be deemed most
advantageous. This would in less
than twenty-five years pay the
entire debt. But we are met with
this objection: The contract re-
quires that the payment should be
made in gold. Admitting for the
sake of the argument that it does,
still if the life of the nation requires
that the Indebtedness should be
paid in currency instead of coin,
then it must be so paid. The debt
was contracted to save the life
of tho nation. So if necessary
hereafter to preserve the life
of the nation, VIC must resort
even unto reputation. The hold
ers of these bonds have no moral
claim on the government. They
took advantage of the necessities
of the government and paid for
these bonds in greenbacks when
greenbacks could be bought for
much less than they can now.
Greenbanks are worth far more to-
day than they were when the bond
holders paid them to the governs
ment for the bonds upon which
they now demand gold. In the
meantime they have been receiving
six per cent. per annum in gold,
moro than nine per cent. in cur"
rency, while their wealth has been
untaxed. They have been consum0
ers, not producers. They have
been the drones who have lived
upon the honey made by the work
ing bees.
No government can prosper, no
government can long exist under
such a policy. Common sense and
sound political philosophy require,
in order to make a people prosper
Gus and contented, that the mons
producing wealth ola nation should
be taxed and the producing capital
be left as free from taxation as the
necessities Of government will per.
nit. Our government is pYsuing
directly contrary policy. If per-
sisted in by Radicalism there are
but two alternative results; one,
Reputation; the other, Military
Despotism by which to force the
collection of taxes too onerous to be
paid by a free people.

A WRITER in the New York World
is terribly severe on the New Eng
land female ghoul. Hesays: False
to herself, false to her husband,
false to her children and dOubly
false 10 her gifted halE-brother, to
what an infinite depth Of degrade
ton does Mrs. Stowe send Mrs.
Leigh, woman on whose fair fame
no breath of SANDER had ever
rested, whose good name, fame
and reputation were never before
suspected; but whose ever steady
love for her orring and wandering
brother is now made argument
to prove her q very fend incarnate.
Mrs. Stowe may believe the story;
she may believe it because she may
know its possibility; but no man
believes it, nor does any true, pure
woman" The verdict Of honest,
fair-mindod people will be, severe,
but Just.

The Washington correspondent
of the Philadelphia Inquirer says
" considerable feeling has been
aroused there 10y the death Of a
lady clerk employed in the internal
revenue bureau, who was suffering
from typhoid fever, and remained
at her work until she had to DO all
most carried home. She was poor,
and the fear of being locked for
lost time :mpelled her to remain
on duty till she was so far gone that
her recovery was hopeless. The
Philadelphia Age strongly but just
lv condemns the rule which made
a victim of this poor woman, while
Gen. Grant and members Of his
cabinet we're feasting At Cape May,
dancing at Long Branch, junk
citing al Saratoga, and enjoying
themselves At the public expense
IN all parts Of thh Union. They
had no fear "or being locked for
lost time" Their ample salaries
were promptly paid, though absent
from their posts for months. But
a poor woman with family to
support, and death~stncken with
the typhoid fever, is compelled to
toll on until nature could endure
no more, and death onsued. She
would be deprived Of pay if absent
from her desk for a single day, or
even 4 part Of one. This is q
sample of the manner in which
affairs at Washington are managed.
The heads of the government do as
they please--tho employees are
murdered at posts, as was the
case of the poor woman.

A PARAGRAPH has been going the
the rounds that a couple of enter
prising citizens Of Knoxville had
proposed to subscribe $4,000 each
to establish a manufacturing es-
Enlistment of scme kind in that
city. The Knoxville Wing dis
poses ofthe story after the follow
ing fashion:
We can readily understand how the
idea obtained currency that one hundred
thousand dollars were recently subscribed
by two prominent gentlemen of this city
to some manufacturing interest. Col. Gro
z;er WAS called out by one Of them to repro.
sent him in q speech, and fsceiiously re.
marked, upon takirg the stand, that, as he
was the representative of the gentleman,
he would pat him down $4,000. Mr..
Thornburg did the same thing with the
other gentleman. This is the whole Of it,

THE Radicals in Mississippi are
growing desperate. The Memphis
Avalanche states that secret circu-
lars, breathing falsehoods, are be-
ing scattered through the North,
appealing for money to carry the
election. One Of these circulars
asks for twenty-five thousand dol
lars to enable the Radicals to carry
the State. This is the argument
that is to be addressed to the ne
groes of Mississippi toinduce them
to vote the Radical ticket. The
money will probably be raised
among the Northern Radicals, but
it will not save the party from mer-
tied defeat.
