opinion Of Grant
If we nominate Grant, we shall

Concerning the sort of candidate
that the Republicans ought to nomi
nate, DR. Greeley expressed himself n,
as follows:
"All | want is to have a good mar
nominated, who if elected will consent
to give up the Office at the end of hi,
term. Besides, want to nominate ,
man who if elected will elevate the of

Publisher, was 6oyned on Saturday last
and several friends were present at the
accouchment. 1t is medium m-sized
paper Of six columns to the page, is
well printed, and edited with consid-
cradle ability. 1t is Republican in

"to do good and make money! 1T
may do good but how it can make
money is not SO very clear to us, es-
pecially in a County where there are
so many mammoth sheets Of that faith

thinks that the same high road that

for the low-back-car, and that his

The NeqrO Vote.

The figures of the last or new cen
sus show the negro population of the
country to be (or was in 1870 1880,
O09. This is almost exactly one eighth
Of the whole population Of the country.
The voting element of this class Of our
people is estimated at u total Of S79,-
40 voters. This is quite a significant
fact considering that not one in ten Of
this class on an average can read and
write. Quite dangerous class of vot-
crs to hold the balance Of power in a
country like ours, and to be made the
tools and dupcs Of unplicipled, heart,
less, political demagogues. But this is
the "stuation of the United States
to-day, and we confess the alarming
fact with shame and regret.
