The Lafayette Journal says of
the Sub soil Can Adate:
"Mr. Greeley came, spoke, and
went, and with him went many
personal 'God-bless-you's' and
5000 of the Tippecanoe AEricul-
tural Society's money"
We feel certain that that the last
clause of the above sentence is q
base slander and fabrication, pub
lished for the purpose of injuring
Mr.. Greeley's Presidential chances.
That he would take S20C from the
poor farmers of the Wabash for
his lecture on silk -bearin. sheep.
short,borned potatoes, and dapple
gray cloihes-horses, is so utterly at
variance with his we'll -kncwn char
acteristics, that none but hir,ling
free traders and light plowers will
believe ii. Nothing is more noto-
rious concerning Mr.. Greeley than
the fact that be carrs nothing what
ever for money, except 3 means
Of relief to the deserving poor
and if be accepted the 5000, we
have no doubt that he has ere this,
given it to some promising young
man to enable him to 60 West and
buy q farm Il Chicago Republican.

Has she sunlight ceased to shine
Is the earth in darkness shrouded,
Would's st thou at thy lot repines
Chser up. brother, let thy vision
Look sbove, see f! light is near,
Soon will come the next transition,
"Trust in God, and persevere."
Brother, has lifs's hope receded,
Hast thou sought its joys in vain :?
Friends proved false when mostly needed,
Foes rejoicing at thy pain Z
Cheer up, brother, there's blessing
Waiting for thee-never fear;
Foes forgiving, sins conisssing,
"Taust in God, and persevere."
Brother, all things round are calling
With united voice, "be stroug p
Though the wrongs of earth be CALLING,
They must lose their strength ere long
Yes. my brother, though life's troubles
Drive thee near the dark dispair,
Soon twill vanish like q bubble,
"Trust in God, and persevere.f'
He, from His high throne in Heaven
Watches every step you take,
He will see each fetter riyen ..s..
Which your foes in anger make
Cheer up, brother, He has power
To dry up the bitter tear,
And though darkest tempests lower,
"Trust in God, and perseyere."
Brotheg there's quiet slumber
Waiting for thee in the grave;
Brother, there's . glorious number
Christ in mercy deigns to save;
Wait, then, till life's quiet even
Closes round thee, calm and clear,
And, till called from earth to Heaven,
"Trust in 0odj and persevere."

Much. if not most Of the clamor
raised by the Democracy against
President Grant, has been on &C.
count OF his appointments. He
has been accused of appointing
relations to Office, and exhibiting
too much favoritism in his distri-
button Of public favors. No class
of people have complained more Of
the President on this account than
the Democrats who support Hen
bricks for the Presidency. Now it
is q notorious fact that Col. Charles
w Hall. formerly of this city, and
proprietor OF the Democratic State
organ. was duly charged, tried and
convicted as . government swind-
Ter, and was sentenced to the infa,
nous punishment Of six months
imprisonment in the penitentiary,
and fine Of ten thousand dollars
These facts were all known to Mr..
Hendricks, who was Halls friend
and attorney. II is equally noto-
rious that Senator Hendricks, by
his personal solicitation procured
Halls pardon. There may have
been nothing wrong or discredita-
BILE in this, so far as Mr. Hendricks
was concerned, as he was the po-
litical and personal friend Of Hall,
and may have exerted himself in
his behalf from motives of pure
friendship. But what was thor
oughly discreditab,e in Mr.. Hem
d-icks was the fact that, through
his personal efforts and at his ear
nest solicitation, he procured Pres
ident johnson to appoint Colonel
Hall to high office in the Revenue
Department: where the facilities for
rascality and peculation were al
most without limit. Mr. Hendricks
di l this with tho full knowledge of
Halls character and villainies. Mr.
Hendricks will not deny his agen-
cy in procuring Halls pardon and
appointment to office. Before
Halls pardon was granted, his
friends in this city were offering
to pay ten thousand dollars to any
one who would procure it, bu. we
have no evidence that any money
was paid to Mr.. Hendricks FOR his
influence. He probably did what
he did out Of motives of pure
friendship for q distinguished Dem
ocratic friend for whom he doubt
l less cherished high regard. The
use we make Of the matter now, il
to remind Mr. Hendricks support
ers that it 10 not exactly in good
taste for them to criticise the
Presidents appointments until they
can show that he has put a con-
victed and pardoned Government
thief in a responsible office. This
Mr.. Hendricks did, and he will nc
deny it Ind. Journal.

in his sincerity and honesty and
for this reason, also, he has ene-
mics, chief among whom are the
Tammany leaders. Pomery has
this advantage over them, however,
that he is in no way connected
with their robberies, and is too
outspoken to withhold the convic-
ton Of their rascalities. Here is
what he says Of the Tammany
thefts:
If tho head sachems of Tan

corruption, profigacy, extravaganza
