Ex.Gov. Lewis z. Parsons Of Alabama
has, it is said, been appointed by Attor.
ney Gen. Alderman an acting assistant
attorney general to 90 South aud prose-
cute Ku. klux cases. He will probably
be sent to his own state of Alabama.
Only few years ago Parsons claimed to
be leader Of the Democracy, but the
Radical bait Of promised preferment led
him over. He lately testified before the
Ku klux commettee, and was most bitter
toward his own people and 10 view of
his undisguised prejudices, his appoint.
uent is looked upon in conservative cir,
cles as gross outrage upon the people Of

Grant was kind enough to inform q
Herald correspondent at Long Branch
that 10 Dsce ember next be should recon. :.
mend the "taking off, Of "forty more
millions Of taxes" This is considerably y
less than half the amount of the taxes
which have "been taken of" by the de
falcations Of government officials since
Grant came into power. That amount is
openly stated at Washington to reach the
sum Of at least zone hundred millions Of
dollars" In . single recent case, Colec
tor Spere, of Kansas, defaulted for $685..
900, the defalcation being promptly "com.
promised" by Radical influence for Sll,-
900, thus leaving nearly $3.50, 600 oftaxes

We might (says The Courier.J ournsl)

the Democratic column, for We believe
they are thoroughly Democratic, II any.

be warmly contested. Whatever may be

or two Congressional districts. The
chances are that she will be oil right

that no one can say with confidence how
she will cast her electoral vote We
have put IIliuois in the doubtful column

resolution is in these words: I'VE regard
the three several amendments to the Con.

and that the same are no longer issues
before the country" In another timely
resolution they demand the rule of strict

There is . great work before the De-
mocrscy between this time and the fall
Of 'seventy.two, in order to purify the
politics of our country, and to rid it Of
the corruption that has gone hand 10
hand With Radical rule; . work that re.
quires the aid and influence of every
Democrat 10 the land. Grant will prob
ably be the next nominee Of the Radicals.
The opposition to him will not be- formi
dsble enough to defeat him 10 the national
convention and although be may not
command the enthusiastic support that
he did in the last Presidential race, be
will, nevertheless, armed with the bayo.
net election Laws and tho provisions Of
the Ku klux bill, which be will not hesi.

pends upon it. make very formidable
opponent to the Democracy. Then let US
not depend too much upon the weakness
Of his party, but upon our own strength
exertion and united purpose. Let no,
the minor Issues Of tho day, or the con
stitutioDal amendments, lure us away
from the main object Of the Democracy
We can do nothing with these amend
ments and like outrages now; they ar
only branches Of the great Radical tree o
corruption. If We can strike down tn
tree, oust the Radical politicians iron

why Gen Grant Ran fsr Prssidsst,

A correspondent Of the New York Her.
aid reports . miscellaneous conversation
held with che President at Gong Branch,
recently, from which we extract 90 muoh
as refers 20 his Exeellency's caudidacy.
IL will be observed that . discreet sileaco
10 observed respecting the e3OO, 900 or
100000 which il cas- currently asserted
ana believed, Ia 1868, Vere paid to the
"Con assdsr u Chief Of the Army" for
the use Of his namN spd person. We
quote: ....
"Will you excUse ne sie, for calling to
your recollection . statement that ap-
psared some time since to the effect that
you we're sorry for promising to bo the
Republican cadidate Cor TAO Presidency
l don't think thss Il was ever contrsdie.
ted"
The President laughed aud threw away
his cigar.
II Was very sorry to be . candidate,
for was very sorry to leave the command
Of the army. There appeared to be
upsnlmity 10 the public mind before the
nomination vas made that | should be
the nominee Of the Republican party, and
il seemed to me that it would be impos.
sible to concentrate on any candidate.
OF course, ! won't say that any other
candidate could not be elected BY the
Republicans but my acceptance certainly
relieved the party from the danger Of dis.
agreement and dissenslon and made it
solid and compact. I consented 10 give
up life Office for q temporary, though .
higher one, for good reason I believed
that if .. Dsmoora candidate was elected
there would be little chance for those who
fought for the Union. They would GER
tainly have got rid Of the Office of COM
mander in chief of the army, and 60
shelved me. Believing this, I went into
the contest in earnest. These were the
motives that actusted me. l think thcy
we're correct. At least I'm not sorry
that l acted on them.
