JOE HOOKER ON GRANr.-Geu. Joe
Hooker when recently in Oswego was in.
terviewed by a reporter for the Palladium
The account says:
SIN the course of conversation this
morning he frankly expressed his opinion
of President Grant He tried,' said the
General, to get control of the Grand Army
of the Republic, but we blocked him. II
is my absolute conviction that were you ia
walk the length Of Broadway, you could
not meet man less qualified for the Pres
idency than Grant. We of the army
know him better than the people at large
"When his adjutant, Gen. Rawlins was
alive, the President seemed to be efficient
and successful, but when Rawlins died
Grants bottom fell out. He is now in his
normal condition"
"What are his chances for reelection
General ?" inquired one of the gentlemen
General Hooker-'I am no politician
declined going to conventions, etc., in
1868, chiefly because l regarded Gran,
untitled for the Office of President; but
from observation, 1 now think, candidly
and without prejudice, that Grant cannot
carry a half dozen States, He is very
cheap"

B9~ Horace Greeley, in a speech a,
Galveston, thus alluded to the wonderful
lack of production in Texas of articles o.
which that State is so we'll adapted:
A State whose chief productions are
grass and cattle has imported both hay
and milk. Her herdsmen, as a general
rule, never see either. A purely agricul
tural State that buys most of her bread, a
splendid soil for corn is dcarer to-day than
in New York City, capital State for
growing swine at no cost, yet which has
bought three fourths of the hams univer.
sally consumed by her people-such are
among the causes that have kept the Tex.
ans poor in spite of the remarkable fertility
of her soil. " Milk sells for 81 per
gallon in this city [Galveston1; there is
not quart of it to every thousand cows
throughout the State; and you whiten
your tea or coffee with the condensed arti.
Gle from New York or you don't whiten i,
at all, even at pretty hamlets, in the far
interior, where likely COW and calf will
not bring more than $40.
The San Francisco Bulletin quotes the
above and portrays the fault of California
in the same respect, as follows:
California imports corn-meal, hams,
butter, cheese, pork, goldfish, and even live
hogs and beef cattle-every item of which
thus imported. tends to impovefish the
State. We make the best of wooleu
blankets, and send some of them abroad
but we do not make more than twenty pei
cent. of the woolcn fabrics used for cloth
ing in this State, although we export g
large quantity annually of the most desir'
able grades of wool. Perhaps, one.third
of the boots and shoes worn in California
are made in the State; the other two.third:
are bought in the Eastern markets. Calf
skin boots, are to a considerable extent
imported from France none of the smaller
articles of hardware, except perhaps few
bolts, are made here; we import pape,
enough annually to keep six or eight paper
mills in constant operation; and probably
as much paper stock is sent out of the
State in bales as enters into the paper con
sumed here.
We are compelled also to add Oregon tc
the same catalogue, especially in regard tc
the products of the diary. There is nc
State of the Union better adapted to dairy
purposes than Oregon, and yet imported
cheese and butter are at nearly oil seasons
of the year found in our markets. Oregon
should not only supply the home market
but should export these articles in large
quantities.
