HORACE GREELEY On GEN. GRANT
" As TO the administration of Gen. Grant,
/ recognize no one as Republican who is
not grateful for its judicious, energetic, and
successful efforts to procure the ratification
of the 18th Amendment, that keystone of
our political arch, whereby the fruits of our
great triumph over rebellion and slavery
are assured and perpetuated. That the
President has made some mistakes in ap-
pointments is obvious-it would be strange,
indeed, if one so inexperienced in the con-
duct of political affairs had wholly escaped
them. Whatever blame may justly attach
TO this falls rightfully on us who took him
from the head of the army and made him
our civil Chief Magistrate, fully aware that
he had never voted Republican ticket, if,
indeed, he had voted at all. While assert
ing the right of every Republican to his
untrammeled choice of candidate for
next President until nomination is made,
| venture TO suggest that General Grant
will be far better qualified for that mo-
mentous trust in 1872 than he was in 1865
Such, gentlemen, are the ideas and convic-
tons which have impelled me TO take my
place among you, and accept the response
bility you have imposed upon me. Let us
and with such evident moderation and
fairness that our friends throughout the
State and the Union shall see and feel that
We are doing our utmost to unite and
strengthen the Republican party, and ami
mate IL with well grounded and sanguine
hopes of future triumphs''

FROM the reported proceedings of Con-
gress on Tuesday, we notice that the Com
mittee on Elections reported in the contest
ed ease of Sheafe VS.. Tillman, of this State
in favor of seating the latter. Mr.. Tillman
has been in the seat since the commence
ment of the first session of the present
Congress, and has made fair representa-
tive of his constituents. Whatever con-
fiicting opinions may prevail as to his right
TO seat, none who know the parties will
doubt that he is far more meritoTious in
every way than his competitor. No man
dares impeach his honesty or patriotism,
or to impugn his motives. Modest and un
assuming almost To fault, yet he has the
courage TO stand up for the right and al

c. L. NALANDIGHAN is mentioned as
the next Democratic candidate for the Gov
ernorship of Ohio. His splendid o. war
record is of such character as to win favor
with the party, and his services in behalf
of the " lost cause have never met with
the recognition which Democracy is want
to extend to men of his prominence. If
he gets the nomination, the fight will be a
square one, and the issues cannot be mis-
understood

A RESOLUTION was offered in the Senate
ON Tuesday by Mr.. Self, of Greene, for the
removal of Chancellor Smith, of the First
Chancery District, for the reason THAT he
is not person of competent law knowl-
edge to discharge the duties of his office, I"
that he is guilty of bribery, and bringing
the high officeinto dispute by his notorious
character as libertine and debanchee, :"
&C. 1t occurs to us as rich idea-that of
thisLegislature arraigning any one on such,
charges. IL none are to least stones" at
the accused Chancellor, except such as are
guiltless of the offences with which he is
charged, we fear there will not be quo
rum left to consider the case.

a BILL is pending before the Legislature
TO attach the 18th civil district of Hamil-
ton county to Bradley. The reason for this
step is, that Bradley county at the last
election for Representative gave a majority
for DIR. Padgett, Republican. The district
in question votes a large Democratic ma
jority. This measure is intended to correct
this little irregularity in the future, by
creating Democratic majority in Bradley
through the process of annexation.

THE PRESIDENT AND HIS CRITICS.

Ii lie much easier to tear down than build
up. In politics as well as in mechanics is
this true. We notice with regret certain
class of newspapers professedy friendly,
criticising unjustly, unnecessarily and un-
fairly the administration of President
Grant, and the policy of the Republican
party. Some of these papers, though in
fiuential are encouraged to this course by
the temporary notoriety it gives them. 1t
is very easy to find fault, but not always
as easy to suggest remedies. A paper be-
lieved to be in sympathy with the Repub-
liean party, can very easily obtain cheap
notoriety in Democratic circles by indis-
criminate and undue fault-finding with its
own party leaders. Such notoriety is often
mistaken for an approval and endorsement
of independence, and is sought after by
a large class of journalists.
Now, true independence and fearlessness
in newspaper is always commendable
and always admired. 1t needs no adver-
Using for All intelligent people can, and
always will discover it. But there is a
vast difference between the independence
of the press, as called forth by protests or
exposures of wrong and corruption in high
places, and continual fault-finding and un-
due criticism of public men and measures
which can result in no good, because not
suggestive of remedy, or prompted by the
right motives.
What would be thought of the friend
ship which would prompt one friend TO
continually and unfairly upbraid another
in public for mistakes honestly committed ?
The class of papers referred to can not be
sincere in their friendship for the Presi-
dent or his party, or their criticisms would
be tempered with kindness; their fault
finding with moderation and justice.
Admitting that the President has made
mistakes-and what President has not p
is he likely TO be encouraged in his efforts
to do right by abuse and petty ridicule? OF
are the evils resulting from such mistakes
to be remedied by breaking down the pub
lie confidence in the Administration, and
making that want of confidence the step
ping-stone for the success of party with
,
dangerous policy of the Democracy: We
certainly think not.
We believe that every fair minded man
in this country has confidence in the per-
sonal integrity and good purposes of Presi-
dent Grant. His Administration has thus
far resulted in the reduction of taxes, in an
increase of the revenues of the nation, and
has been satisfactory to the people of the
country. What we need in high places is
not so much brilliant men as honest and
faithful men. These qualities Gen. Grant
certainly possesses, and so long as he con-
tinues to give us an Administration based
upon these principles, so long will he con-
tinue to have and merit the confidence ef
the people-the ridicule, abuse or criticism
of pretended friends Notwithstanding.

On the 9th instant the steamer Talisman
took on board, from Nashville, one thou
sand plows, which were made at that place
and were being shipped for Arkansas, Mis-
sissippi, Louisiana and Texas. This is a

Tennessee, ana would certainly pay. Why
wewill persist in importing our agricul-
tural implements, when we have among

THE New York Ere,aiRS Pos, which has
not been very warm of late in its support
of the President, says, after a lengthy re-
view of the AIotley-Fish correspondence,
but two points have been established by
this correspondence first, that Mr. Motley
was no longer desirable representative of
the nation in Great Britain; secondly that
General Grants views on the Alabama
claims do not include any absurd or ex-
travagant pretensions towards England:
that he is ready to recognise the perfect in
dependence of every Government, i'm all
that is necessary for the protection of its
own subjects, and for the enforcement of
their neutrality; and that the claims of
our Government against Great Britain are
now limited TO the damages actually suf-
fered by us in consequence of her viola
lions of the neutrality she 20 loudly pro-
claimed. In this, the United States are
now in accord with the best public opinion
on the continent of Europe, and their
claims have : very strong support in the
views of several leading English statesmen

About Words


It has been calculated that our Ian
guage, including the nomenclature OF
the arts and sciences, contains 100, 600
words; yet of this immense number,
it is surprising how few are in common
use. To the great majority, even OF
the educated men, three-fourths of
these words are almost as unfamiliar
as Greek or Choctaw. Strike from
the lexicon all the words nearly OBJ
solete-all the words Of special arts or
professions-all the words confined in
their usage to particular localities
all the words which even the educat-
ed speakers use only iR. homeopathic
dOses-and it is astonishing into what
a Lilliputian volume your BnObding-
nagian Webster or Worcester viii
have SHRINK. IL has been calculated
that q child uses only about one hun
dred words; and unless he belongs to
the educated classes he will never en-
ploy more than three OF four hundred.
a distinguished American scholar
estimates that few speakers or writer's
use as many. as ten thousand words;
ordinary persons, of fair Intelligence,
not over three OF four thousand. Even
the great orator who is able to bring
into the field, in the war of words,
half the vast array of light and heavy
troops which the vocabulary affords,
yet contents himself with far less
imposing display of verbal. Even the
all-knOWing Milton, whose wealth, OF
words seems amazing, and whom DR..
Johnson charges with using Baby
lonish dialect,n uses only 5000; and
Shakespeare himself, "the myriad
minded" only 1900 These facts
show that the difficulty of mastering
the vocabulary of a new tongue is
greatly Over-rated; and they show,
too. how absurd is the boast of every
new dictionary-maker that his vOca-
bulGTy contains so many thousand
words more than those of his pre-
decessOrs.- Lake side Monthly.
