ANYBODY THAT CAN BEAT GRANT

ANYBODY THAT CAN BEAT GRANT
There is rumor afoat that before the o.
tober elections nineteen Republican senators,
who are opposed to the reelection of Gener.
al Grant, gave in their adhesion to the
''passive policy" which the st. Louis Re.
publican advises the Democracy to pursue
in the presidential canvass next year. 1t is
also stated that after the election last month
some of the malcontent nineteen showed
themselves weak and wavering, but that
since they have studied the returns more
carefully. and made re-survey Of the polit-
ical field. they are again disposed to favor
the nomination Of a candidate in opposition
to General GEant-if they are allowed to
nominate him, and the Democracy will con-
tent themselves with polling the full vote Of

Gov. CAMPBELL, OF WYOMING, ON Wo-
MAN SUFrRAeE.-The telegraph has men,
toned that Gov. j. A. Campbell, Of Wyo
ming, in his message to the Legislature, on
the 9TH inst, had endorsed the favorable
working of woman suffrage in that territory
The Governors language is as follows:
Women have voted in the Territory,
served on juries and held office. 1t is sim.
pie justice to say that the women, entering
for the first time in the history of the coun-
try upon these new and untried duties, have
conducted themselves in every respect with
as much tact, sound judgement and good
sense as men. While it would be claiming
more than the facts justify to say that this
ex pertinent in limited field, has demonstra-
ted beyond doubt the perfect fitness of
woman at all times and under all circum-
stances for taking part in the government,
it furnishes at least reasonable presumptive
evidence in her favor, and she has right
to claim, that SO long as none but good re.
suits are made manifest, the law should re-
main unrepealed."
The telegraph reports that bill has been
introduced into the Legislature 70 take away
from women the coveted privilege.

The DEMOCRATIC OUTLOOK. With re-
ference to the conference Of leading Demo-
Gratis upon the approaching Presidential can
vass, a letter was shown us to-day from a
party manager in Ohio, who says the con-
ference is invited to come off in New York
during the latter part of this month that
much has already been done towards an ur-
Outstanding, through correspondence that,
singularly enough, the most pronounced
sticklers for the party organization hereto
fore are now favoring coalition Of the Dem
ocrats with Conservative elements outside,
and the nomination of candidates for Presi-
dent and Vice President to represent this
coalesced organization. Among those who
advocate this is gentleman who had very
strong support in the National Democratic
Convention in 1868
The writer of Thu letter doubts the practi-
cability of this scheme, and thinks the pow
WOW of self-constituted representatives Ct the
Democratic party will result in confrma-
ton of his views, and the end will be the
close organization of the Democratic party,
and the nomination of candidates within that
organization. Washington Correspondence

The Cincinnati Commercial has made an
elaborate arithmetical calculation of the
travels of President Useless S. Grant since
he was nominated down to the present day,
and finds that out of about eleven hundred
days that have elapsed since his election, he
has been absent from the seat of govern
ment five hundred and one, and has travel
ed about the land to the ex tent of thirty sew.
en- thousand six hundred and twenty mine
miles, to attend horse races, fairs, railroad
openings, fishing frolics, and other events
The next calculation the Commercial ought
to undertake is the statistics of Grants pa
rents and the number of mansion houses,
horses, libraries, four-t Thousand pound oxen
cottages at Long Branch, bull pups, veloci.
pe5es, and SO forth, that have been sent te
him as testimonials Of regard and earnest o.
desire for appointment to Office.

WILL THEY SPEAK OUT IF fifty of the
leading Republicans in the country who are
known to be decidedly hostile to the renomi-
nation of Gen. Grant would only speak out
promptly and boldly on that subject, they
could render his defeat in the next National
Convention feregone conclusion beyond all
DeradVepture, But if for two OF three months
longer they pursue the shilly-shally course
which they have pursued for the last sig
months, Grant will stand good chance to
be renominated in spite of their atter-day
opposition.
But. though Grant may be renominated,
he a0iN not be re elected and moreover, he
will be defeated by such an alliance and un-

tration policy in the South the General
said
~ don't care to speak plainly ON these
matters. 1t is not in my line Of duty.
think, however, that when the war was end
ed warfare against our brethren Of the South
should have ceased. The negroes are we'll
disposed and kindly people, but they are
not, as class, posted in the science OF gov
I eminent they are apt to make mistakes
and behave rashly. But have no doubt
whatever that everything will turn out all
right in the end. The Union mea in the
South were never very fine class of people,
and some down there now would be better
out Of it, but their presence in the late in-
surrectionary States affords no proper excuse
for acts Of lawlessness "
"Then, General, You do not approve of
the repressive acts of the federal govern
ment 2"
Il think mistake has been made. They
are not all rascals in the South. The ma
jority Of the people are the best citizens OF
the republic. The young men that followed
the retreating Confederates into Texas the
men of the army Of Virginia and the lads Of
the West who leaned toward the South were
) capital fellows, though mistaken. These
in my opinion, should have been appointed
to position under the government as mar
shals, postn asters, internal revenue collec
tors and to other federal and State Offices
instead Of being driven into opposition.
really believe that these young men repre-
> sented the South, and that they were read,

: ment. l am sorry they were not treated
I properly. But it will be all right in tn

four of its locomotives new style Of alarm

seldom heard by the engineer or fremen or
