GRANTS RATONETs AT NEW Oh.
grfAic - LEANS

For the first time Grant employed force
toward members of his own party at the
late State Convention held at New Or
leans. His Long Branch majesty through
his brother-in-law, Mr.. Casey, went at it
and trampled down Republican opposition
as readily and ruthlessly as though they
were the Ku-Klux themselves. 1t would
seem by this, Republicans are to have no
choice in the nomination of a Presidential
candidate. If Republican opposes Grant,
he is rebel and is fit subject to be driv-
en- by the bayonetl
n Grant is likely to famlliarize the Amer
lean people with the Mexican mode of
conducting elections. The Republican
leaders in Congress gave him full license
by the KuKlux bill to use the military
OF course they supposed he would use the
cold steel against Democrats. never dream
ing the autocrat would against his own
party. They little dreamed they were
putting in his hands two edged sword.

PRESIDENT GRANTS FARM.
A Hint for the People Poor Three
Years Ago, and Now $500, 900 in
Hooded stock.
[From the Brooklvn Earlel

A correspondent of the Central Bnptist
alter visiting President Grants farm.
few miles from st. Louis, Mo-, says he was
received by Mr.. Eldrod, relative of the
President, who is intrusted by him with
the superlntendence of property valued at
not less than $780, ,000 The farm includes
with recent purchases, S69 acres, mostly
rolling land" After the brilliant descrin
tlons that have bsen recently published of
MT Iweed's Connecticut palace and the
island homes of Messrs. Garvey, Ingersoll,
Keyser, and the other magnates of the
Republican Democratic New York Court
House ring, the enthusiasm of the BaDt-
astS description of the Presidents blooded
stock, luxuriant arboriculture, and other
items which make up the 100000, read
quite natural.
President Grant went into the army not
worth cent, and has lived quite freely
ever since. His horses, equipages, &c,
are the theme OF admiring descriptions
from correspondents not only at Wash
ington but at Long Branch, and wherever
else he takes up his temporary abode. 1t
Is therefore quite consolatory to find that
out OF his not excessive salary. first as
General and now as President, he is able
to keep 100000 of blooded stock and
such like property idle on a Missouri
farm. Politics appears to pay much the
same IN the White House at Washington
as IN the new Court House of New York.
The boss politician is evidently bound to
be the millionaire of the period. He has
ieund the secret limited at in the Scripture
passage, There is that scattereth, and vet
lncreaseth." These boss politicians, wheth-
er called Supervisors or Presidents, con-
trive to live at the highest point of lux
ury, and on moderate salaries, and vet to
roll up riches.

The Mount sewickley Camp Meeting
Association, of Pennsylvania began their
annual camp meeting August and closed
August 10th. The attendance was very
large and also very large supply ol
preachers during the whole time. Among
those officiating we notice was Rev. w.
K. Brown, of Alliance. proprietor of the
Monitor. The Western Christian AdUo-
cate of last week thus adverts to it:
The religious tone of the meeting was
excellent throughout. though nothing
looking fully like a revival occurred till
on Tuesday evening, when, after a sermon
by Rev w. X. Brown, quite a number
identified themselves as seekers of saliva
ton. 1t was hoped that this was Ahe be-
ginning of gracious work that might
touch and sanotify scores Of souls The
meetiug otherwise was good one for the
church prompting many to renew their
religious vows and lifting mulhtudes up
into higher enjoyments.

The FOUNTAIN in the Court House yard
presents fine appearance. Old Neptune,
the heather god of the sea, with his crown
on his head and his trident in hand, from
which the water will play, stands aloft on
duty. Below him are mermaids ull around
the whole surmounting the elegant stone
basin below. To be appreciated it must
be seen. The eye is the most perfect and
wonderful of all human organs, and one
good view is worth pages Of description.
Let our friends, when they come to town,
look and admire. We learn the entire
cost is about three thousand dollars. For
many long years to come this Neptunial
fountain will be an ornament to our city,
and source of delight to lockers on.
Long may it flow.

The Cleveland Radicals are in trouble.
An independent Republican ticket has
been put in the field. For Senators, Ru-
fus P. Spalding and E. D. Burton for
Representatives, Messrs. Chaplin, Watson,
Sorter, Gallup and Johnson; for Judge,
S. B. Prentiss for Treasurer, Frank
Lynch for Auditor, W. S. Jones; Prose
cutting Attorney, H. B. Dewolf; County
Commissioner, VIM. Hart; Coroner, DR.
Miller.
1t is said to be very strong ticket and
endangers the "ring" arrangement that
has been running there also with high
hand. The Independents are cut with an
address to the people and they are sus-
tanned by some of the ablest Republicans
of Cleveland This movement means
business.

ThIs Shameless AdmInI.tratIon.

1t is announced in the semi-ofieiel tele-
grams of the Associated Press from Wash
ington that ]. G. Bancroft Davis, the
Bribe-taker, is to be appointed agent of
the United States before the arbitration
tribunal at Geneva, which is to act on the
Alabama claims,
. More than year ago this man Davis
was published by the Legislature of Mas
saehusetts, in an official report made by a
Joint Committee of both Houses, as hay
ing received, when q Director and counsel
of the Erie Railway Company, a bribe of
sixty thousand dollars to betray the in
terests of that Company to another cor
poraton, and to defraud it out of a large
sum of money. This act Of bribery and
fraud, as appears by the evidence pub
lished by the Legislature ofMassachusetts
resulted IN the loss to the Erie Railway
Company of over million and half dol
lars and for this Davis pocketed bribe
of sixty thousand dollars. These facts
were not only proved by the sworn testi-
mony taken before the Joint Committee
but, as we have said, they were officially
published by the Legislature. They have
also been admitted by Davis himself; for
he has never dared to interposea denial of
their accuracy, nor has he attempted by
any e8planatlon TO mltlgaCe their helm
business. They have since been spread
abroad before the whole country, so that
to-day few citizens of the United States
who have ever heard of this man are not
also aware of these blasting incidents in
his career.
In the face of these things President
Grant has retained this convicted bribe-
taker in most prominent Office as Assist
ant Secretary of State-an office which
has given free scope and opportunity to
his corrupt tendency and desire to make
money out of any official position in which
he may be placed. And now Grant has
determined to put him in position where
his peculiar talent will have still broader
field for its exercise.
Never before in the history of the United
States was there an Administration so ut
terly shameless as that of Gen. Grant.
Never before were the public conscience
and the public sense of deeeney so iguom-
iniously insulted Never before had we a
President so Indifferent to right and Wrong
that he could appoint a convicted bribe-
taker to high office under his Administra-
ton, and not only keep him IN power after
his true character had been revealed, but
promote him to other places of distinction
where he could gain still greater richess
by similar acts of venality and fraud

On Friday evening ofthis week our city
fathers meet to discuss the gas question
The proposition is to raise the price on
private and public consumption to three
and half and two seventy five. The cost
to the city would be higher than ever be-
fore, and for private consumers as high as
it ever was at the highest period of prices
We learn at Salem it is but three dol
lars 10 private consumers, and in Mans
field the city have resolved 10 build their
own works in oppositlon to the private
works as we have
We had supposed the question settled
by the fair, not to say liberal, action of
the Council last winter, fixing it at So for
private consumption, and 50 so for the
city. We are confident the City Council
last winter intended to be liberal and fair
toward the Gas Company, and gave the
whole question a full and fair ihvestiga-
ton.
We hope our citizens interested will at
tend the Council meeting tomorrow night
and hear the reasons for, this proposed In
crease. 1t win make heavy item of tax
upon our city, and also upon the indiyidu-
