Grant ns a PrOpl e1.

About the commencement OF the year
1864, when the rebellion was still uusub-
dued, Isaac n. Morris, who had formerly
been and perhaps was then member OF
Congress. addressed letter to Gen. Grant
in which he suggested his Grants name as
an available candidate for the Presidency IN
1868. Morris professed to be Democrat,
but his subsequent political career plainly
showed he belonged to that modern schoolot
politicians known as '1riDamerS, with
which this country is so abundantly sup
piled. Grant, as in duty bound, replied to
the loving epistle of his friend and adnfirer
Morris. from which we take the following
prophetic extract The italics are our own.
81 am not a politician, never was. and
hope never to be; and could not write
political letter. In your let
ter you say that have it in my power to be
the next President. This is the last thing
in the world desire I lro,tld regard such
a consummation as being highly unfortunate
for myself, If not for the country"
No man in The United States, except
Grant himself, could have predicted with
such absolute certainty what has come to
pass since the commencement of his admin
istration, both as regards himself and the
best interests Of the country. 1t has been
in existence a little over two years and has
most signaliy failed to command tac respect
or confidence of the political party that in
vested it with the control of the government.
His very first official act was an unpardon-
able blunder, and it has been followed ever
since, in rapid succession, by similar acts o'
folly and imbecility. Under the feeble and
inconsequential leadership of Grant and his
Cabinet, the Radical party, not only in Con-
gress but throughout the country. is weak
cned by bitter dissensions and open distrust.
1t is a house divided against itself, and when
its rotten props are knocked from beneath it
in the Presidential campaign of 1872, 1t will
fall shapeless and unsightly mass, never
again TO be rebuilt. 1t is most significant
fact in the history of this administration
thus far, that no recommendation which
Grant has made TO Congress, except the
moustrous Ku Klux bill, has been endorsed
or adopted by his partsans in that body
On the contrary. they have fallen still born
and have uniformly been treated with cold
Indifference, if not with supreme contempt.
| Whatever Grant may have been at the head
of an overwhelming, we'll clothed an0 we II
fed army. against a one-fourth numerically
inferior foe, mserably clad and scantily
fed. it has been demonstrated beyond al!
cavii or Dispute that he does not possess,
a single one of the high requisites which fit
a man for proper and Intelligent discharge
of the grave and responsible duties of the
Presidency. Such will be the solemn ver-
dict of the people in November. l872.-
Grants prophecy will then be fulfilled and
his election will be regarded, 20 use his own
words, as having been "highly unfortunate
for myself. (Grant) if not for the country"

TIE House of Representatives at Wash
inston last Monday passed what its author,
Mr.. Hale, from Maine, called his General
Amnesty Bill" The vote stood l44 yeas
TO 40 nays-more than the necessary two
thirds 1t relieves the political disabilities
of all disqualified persons in the Southern
States, except officers of the army and navy
who left their posts TO aid the rebellion. and
eS-nernbers of the United States Congress
and members of the several State conventions
who voted for the ordinances of secession
We suppose that this bill is Intended as a
salre to the Infamous and unconstitutional
Ku K,ux law which has passed the House
aud is now under discussion in the Senate.
The prompt passage by the house OF Mr..
Hale's bill clearly fcreshadows that the time
is rapidly approaching when there will not
be man in any Southern State, otherwise
qualified under the law, who will be debarr-
ed from holding any office to which the
people may see fit to elect him. Then, but
not until then, will there be complete and
universal amnesty. If Congress would pass
n bill having that end iD view, it would do
more to bring about peace, order and good
will among all classes in the South than a
legion Of Ku Klux laws. The enc would
produce concord and harmony-the others
nothing but bitter hatred and animosity.

THE Apportionment bill. which seems to
be the devils rock" in the boundless sea of
legislation at Harrisburg. has been in the
hands Of committee of conference for sew
eral days. 1t is impossible to even guess
whether the committee. composed OF three
Democrats and three Radicals. will be able
to agree upon a bill which will be accepta-
bic TO a majority OF the members in each of
the two Houses, although the opinion has
been expressed at the Capital that there is a
reasonable prospect that such a result will
be accomplished. The House bill, which
the Radical leaders solemnly protest they
will never surrender. is more scandalOusly
partisan than the unfair and obnoxiou bill
Of 1864. II was supposed that gerrymau-
der so papably outrageous as that. could not

present Radical bill is ten fold more enor-
NOUS It is based on the false assumption
that the Radical party is in a clear majority
in ths State, and that therefore the demo
cratic patty has no rights in the framing of
an Apportionnent bill which its opponents
ara bound to respect. 1t is perfectly clear TO
our mind that the Radical leaders do not
desire the passage Of 2 fair bill. or indeed
any bill at AL. ds.rins the present session.
Under an honest apportionment they fear

How A SPooL OF THREAD SAVED A LADY's
LIFE.-A few days ago quite little sensa-
ton occurred at Stittvilie, n. 7. During
the afternoon. while very respectable mar
ricd lady was sitting in her house, sewing,
a strange looking man came into the house,
unannouuced OF course the lady was start
led, but asked the intruder what his business
was After staring wildly at ber for some
time the fellow shrieked out. "Anua, you
promised to marry me. and did not do so.
| am going to kill you ~ The lunatic. for
such he proved to be, then sprang at the
lady. with a large knife in bis hand, aud
struck at her breast several times. The
lady escaped injury for few minutes by a
severe struggle. but The fellow finally sue
ceeded in inficting severe flesh wound in
the center Of the lady's breast. Tho knife
fortunately came in contact with a spool Of
thread which the lady was using and had
placed in her bosom, and had cut ithrough
the thread to the wood. After dealing this
blow the fellow ran from the house, and
was not seen again. He is supposed to be
an escaped lunatc from the asylum in Utica
or the poorhouse 10 Rome. The lady never
saw the fellow before, and. as she is not tho
Anna" that apparently went back on him,
she certainly does not desire to see him again.
Her escape from fatal injuries is possibly due
to the knife coming in contact with the
spool of cotton in her bosom.

A STRANGE PkEDICTIoN.-1nE Entranced
Girl Wrestling aoih Disembodied Spiris.-
Louisville, Ky, is just now excited over a
strange prediction by young German lady,
Miss Carrie Clein, residing there. She
claims to have been under the influence of
spirits. or mysterious influence, 1T intervals
for twelve years. She was thrown into a
trance, she says, when seven years of age,
and again when she was fourteen, lasting
for seven months, during which she predict
ed the Franco German war and its results.
Recently she has beea thrown into a similar
state, and made the following predictions in
the presence and hearing of reporter of the
Louisville Commercial:
"In seven weeks from to>day March "a }
a war Sign will appear in the heavens, which
will last fifteen weeks and then cease. This
will be forewarning of a terrible war be-
tween the whites and blacks in :he United
States. The frs: battle in the war of races
will be fought in April, 1872, and the war
will be brief but terribly bloody. After this
war has ceased three years another war sign
will appear in heaven. indicating renewal
of the present war in Europe. The war will
last about three years, and all Prussia will
glorify. Nine years after this war ceases.
another sign will appear in the heavens
above the whole world, which will fore warn
people all over the world OF religious war.
This will be terrible. even unto one part as
to another of the whole face of the world
1t will last nine years. and will temporarily
cease for seven years, when beasts wearing
seven horns each of the form of huge saber
will appear il the world in large hum bers.
and the people inhabitng the world will
stand in fear. The oceans will become red
and no vessel can stand upon their face
Men will cease to write. Ten years after
the appearance of this beast upon earth. a
cross will appear on the face of the sun. and
although the people were surprised to see
the moon cover the SUM- they will be still
more surprised when they see this. The
cross will cover the sun for seventeen years.
when God Almighty will destroy the earth.
My friends, take warning"

Nor TRUE.- Senator Ames from Missis-
sippi, during the debate on southern out
RACES in the senate, had read for information
letter stating that school houses throuohe
ont the State were being burned and the
school teachers driven off. Resolutions have
been Introduced in the Mississippi legislature
as untrue and as libel upon the people of
that State. When it is considered that the
legislature of Mississippi is largely radical.
it may be set down OF once that the whole
story is falsshood put in circulation to
help the passage of certain measures through
congress. This Ames is the fellow who. as
governor of Mississippi, had himself and
the negro Revels elected United States sena-
tors, and then himself issued the certificate
OF election Any assertion made by him
has to be taken with many grains of allow

PLAIN TALK FROM RADICAL NEwsPA-
PER.-Not few Republican newspapers
have taken occasion to condemn the action
of the present congress in reference to the
South. The Philadelphia Telegraph seems
to comprehend the situation. 1t says:
Congress is about to pass stringent act
10 suppress the Ku klux of the South. All
right, if it is rightly done; but, however
well-done. the measure proposed falls far
short of the great want of the South and the
great desire of the country. The best way
to stop the Ku- Klux business is to make
amnesty universal. and enlist every intelli-
gent and reputable citizen on the side of
law and government. Give the South am
nesiy. and bayOnets and thieving carpet
baggers will be allowed to leave the country
for the country's good. 1t has been said
that Bntler may be blamed for everything
but being fool. Can't he see that. to res
tore good government in the South, the men
most interested in government should not be
excluded frem participating in it Butler
should look again.

The San Domingo Commissioners, after
a vast deal of backing and filling, signed
their report last week and delivered it to
the President. Grant Immediately trans
ntted 1t to Congress, accompanied by
special message most singular in character
remarkable only for its bad taste and still
worse English. 1t is simply weak defence.
or apology, for his persistent and unlaW ful
attempts to consummate his cherished pur>
pose. He desires that no definite action
may be taken on the question of annexation
during the present session of Congress, but
merely that the report be printed and go
before the country for its Information and
Judgment. This is a tame surrender of his
or ginal selfconfdent and dictatorial posi-
tien. Then he was extremely, if not oiien-
sively, solcitous for the passage in hot haste
of the Joint resolution for the appointment
of the Commissioners, in order that the
Tennessee might at once convey them to
San Domingo and return with them before
the last Congress adjourned, in order that
this swiudling business between him and
Baez might be finally concluded by means
Of Joint resolution. similar to the one by
which the annexation of Texas was brought
about in 1916 But all this is now changed
ami the irresistible force OF public opinion
against the San Domingo experiment has
completely disarmed our Second Washing
tom of all his high sounding pretentions and
made him wiser and more discreet man.
The postPonemsnt of any action on the re-
port of the Commissioners uutil the meeting
of the next Congress may be regarded as the
final squelchiRg of the job and that it has.

There is complete deadlock at the
an nthracite coal mines. The meeting of
miners on. Tuesday, without a dissenting
voice. decided not to accept the proposition
of the coal operators. This disposes of tho
question as to the immediate resumption of
work. Three of the supposed participants
in the late lawlessness had preliminary
examination Tuesday at Scranton, and tive
of them we've held for trial, the third being
discharged.
