A DoLEFUL AND LOSING BUSINESS

The Democratic press of the country, as
by preconcerted movement has lately
teemed with assertions to the effect that
President Grant has become universally
unpopular with the party that elected him,
and that by his official acts and improper
appointments he has demoralized the Re-
publican party and broken it into factions
and fragments which are now warning
against him and his Administration.
The object of this is obvious to every
thinking mind. 1t is to deceive the peo-
pie, and cause portion of the Republl-
cans to feel that General Grant is not
available as candidate for the Presidency
in 1872; and this is because these saga
cious but inscriptions journalists believe
that he is the strongest man that can be
placed in nomination, and the only one
who is certain to distance any candidate
whom the Democrats, rebels, copper
heads, performers" and soreheads may
name and put upon the course.
We warn our friends not to be deceived.
We deny that any permanent or any seri-
Gus division of sentiment exists in the Re-
publican ranks as to the policy pursued by
President Grant, We deny that he has in
single instance violated or departed from
any tenet of Republican faith, and here
assert that he has tenaciously insisted on
conducting the Administration on the prin-
ciples enunciated in the platform of the
Chicago Convention, which by a unani-
nous vote placed him in nomination.
1t is true that in some localities there
has been dissatisfaction in the minds of
disappointed Republicans in regard to APP
pointments to office, and some disagree
ment on points not in the Republican plat
form. This, however, has always been
the case Even President Lincoln dissat-
istied many who voted for him because he
could not crafty their wishes in appoint
ments and in some other minor matters,
so much so indeed as to cause the defeat
of the Republican party in several of the
States in the second year of his term. Blu,
all these disaffections were healed, and
when he was renominated the party pre-
scented united front, which was an assur-
ance of victory; and despite the rroakings
of "Conservatives' and "Reformers. and
all the unselfsh predictions and assertions
of the Democratic press, the Republican
party in 1872 will be unit, and if it
chooses. as it probably will, again to pre-
sent Ulysses S. Grant for the suffrages OF
the people, it will in our opinion trium-
phantly re-elect. him, and rejoicingly on
the 4th day of March, 1873, again inaugu-
rate him President of the United States
When the people speak let grumblers
and cunning prophets of i'll stand from
atnder.

The general railroad bill introduced by Mr..
Pike, is copy of one before the Massachu-
sets Legislature, which was recommended by
the railroad commissioners Of that State. II
provides that not less than ten persons may
form a company to construct any railroad,
setting forth in their articles of association
the towns through which the road will pass
and making the capital stock not less than
500, 200 per mile-Sl0, 900 per mile of which
must be subscribed and five per cent. paid in
before the company can file and hold its loca-
ton.
Before commencing the construction OF
their road, the company must lay their con-
templated location and estimates before the
all parties interested. If the commissioners
approve the location and decide that public
convenience requires the road then the COM
pany may commence its construction. The
location must be thus made within two years
from the filing of the articles of association,
and the road completed within five years.
-, At the next election, and biennially there
after, the people are to elect three railroad
commissioners, to hold office for ten years.
The mode in which they are elected is
peculiar, and embodies the principle of mi
nority representation. No person can vote
for more than two candidates, thus ensuring
the election of one person on the minority
ticket.

Cuyahoga made narrow escape from be
ing total wreck at Duluth last Thursday
morning. During light breeze from the
northeast, the steamer attempted to land
at the Citizens Dock, and managed to get
two lines on The dock, but both were snap
ped ike pipe stems, and the boat washed
on the beach, amid much excitement. The
boat while being driven ashore, struck the
dock with much violence, breaking off her
stem, and would have filed with water
there and sunk, but her planIzing stood the
terrible shock admirably. But for the
prompt arrival Of the tug Danforth, Of this
place. experienced lake men say The steam
er would have undoubtedly gone to pieces
on the beach. After three hours hard tug
