Grant opposed to Cotton speculatlons.

The Racine Journal, edited by Col. .
Utley, in referring to the Doolittle
Conatty matter, says:
The celebrated expedition Of
Banks, which so ignominiously fall
ed, and which cost 50 many precious
lives, was simply o notwithstanding
expedItion-sased upon those sutler
dealing permits-and one of the
reasons why Conatty did not get the
tloo million Of dollars, and Senator
Doolittle the too hundred and fifty
thousand dollars, was owing 70 the
TACT that Banks cotton stealing ex-
petition failed. But the true reason
(and the one that we wish our read
ers to reflect UPON was because Gen
erat Grant put has foot upon the a0hote
thing. This is the Gods truth of
the whole matter He saw at a
glance the effect this cotton specula
ton would have upon the prolonging
of the war, and demofalizing the
Union forces, and he not only put
his foot upon Banks, but also the cot
ton speculation. General Grant was
in position where he could have
made millions, but instead of doing it
be gave himself no rest until he had
wiped the accursed cotton traffic out
of existence This is the difference
between General Grant and those
who have outraged honor and decen-
cy in trying to fasten upon him some
petty crime.

A Mob in Cass County, Ill, Attempts
to Hang Murderer. are Thwart-
ed, and then set the City of
Beardstown on Fire.

JACKSONVILLE, ILL.,, September T.
Intelligence reaches here to-day
from BeardStow n that a mob, COM
posed of the friends of Ed MiIsted,
the man who was murdered at Vir-
ginia, in Cass county, Ill.,. on Thurs
day evening last, by G. +. Diffenbach-
err, went last night to Beardstown,
where Diffenbacher is confined in
jail, for the avowed purpose of TAX
ing him from the prison by force and
hanging him. Arriving there, and
finding that the jail was strongly
guarded by band Of brave and de-
termined men, the mob became ter
ribly exasperated and set fire to the
town. Our informant states that be-
fore the flames could be subdued an
entire block of the best buildings in
the place was laid in ashes. The
mob made no attempt to take DIFF
fenbacher from Jail, being deferred
from doing SO by the strong armed
guard around it. Last night indeed
was a night of terrors to the people
of Beardstown. The excitement is
so intense, and the determination of
MiIstead's friends so fixed and strong
to avenge his death, that fears are
entertained that more blood will be
shed and additional incendiarsms
perpetrated.- Chicago Ecening Journ-

HORACE GREELEY's BARGAIN.
Pledges Given to Restore tho Late Rebels 10
Power

At Greeley meeting held 10
Louisville, Kentucky, on the I'd ulti-
mo, General Hodge, democratic from
the state at large, spoke as follows:
81 have devoted lifetime to the
principles Of the democratic party.
| have grown gray in the advocacy
of those principles, and each year
the conviction has grown deeper
that its fundamental principles are
the true foundation stones of this
government. have seen upon the
battle field thousands throw away
their lives in defense Of these princi-
Piles. The graves of the gallant
southern dead who sleep on every
hillside in the South, over whose
graves the night winds Sigh, are re-
minders to me of the love for these
principles which fingers in my heart.
The second passage in Dir. Greeley's
letter means that John @. Bre cken-
ridge and other chivalrous sons of
the South shall be restored to their
former political power and influence.
Looking back upon the once shatter-
ed and fruitless hopes of the South, |
now see that the equal rights and
sovereignty of states shall be restor-
ed and my comrades of the lost cause
have not died in vain. This will be
victory for that for which they
fought. Mr.. Greeley promised to do
all he could to aid US when we get a
majority in Congress. | do object to
Grant because he is a Republican; be-
cause he is member of that party
which waged successfully the contest
against my brethren of the South,
whose orators kept the fires burning
that filled the federal ranks with sol
ders. | have heard i! said by some
that the Democratic party shall have
no part with Mr.. Greeley in the con-
quest; but | feel that they will not
be neglected. Not only will Greeley
not forget those who have helped
him to his position, but pledges have
been given us by him we shall not be
forgotten IN case of success"

HOW TO GO WEST.

This is an inquiry which every one should
have trulhfulIy answered before he starts on
his journey, and little care taken in exami-
nation Of routes will in many cases save much
trouble, time and money.
The Burlington Route'' has achieved
splendid reputation in the last two years as
the leading Passenger Route TO the west.
Starting at Burlington it runs direct through
Southern Iowa 10 Nebraska and Kansas, with
close connections to California and The Terri
tories and passengers starting from Lancas-
ter, on their way westward cannot do better
than TO take the c. B. & q. and Burlington
Route
This line has published pamphlet called
SHOW TO 90 West" which contains much wall
liable information large correct map of the
Great West, which can be obtained free of
charge by addressing the General Passenger
Agent B. & NJ. r. R., Burlington, Iowa.

THE LOUISVILLE MOVEMENT.
sGaight.Out Democrats Determined to Keep
0'COnOr at the Head of Iheir Ticket
Greeley's speedy Withdrawal Predicted.

NEW York, September 1.-THE decision
of the Louisville delegation, in regard to the
candidacy of Charles O'Conor, is understood
to be definitely made up, and that he will be
kept as a candidate at the head of that ticket.
Major Moreau starts soon for the South where
he will take the stump He says that his sup
port in Maryland is immense, and he feels as
sured that Greeley will be beaten there by at
least 10000 majority, but whether by the
straght-out Democrats or by the Republicans,
he will not say. He says: "Greeley will be
compelled to withdraw in a few weeks. He
would now be deserted by every Democrat in
the country and the Liberal Republicans, dis
covering the certainty of his defeat, would re-
turn 10 their allegiance to Grant for the sake
of saving the old party from destruction.
One vote, he claims, is already secured for
O'Conor-that of the capitalists and mer-
chants of the cities and towns. The Louis
vile movement is the real tidal wave OF re-
form that is now sweeping onward, and
Charles O'Conor will be our next President.

Another Liberal Lie Nailed.

Senator Morton makes the foil ow-
ing statement in response to the false
charge that he was figuring in the
interest of the Louisville "straights"
81 do not know anything about Mr.. Dun
cans convention except when l see the pa
pers, and ] do not care anything about it, for
we can beat Greeley whether that convention
meets or not. We have nothing TO do with
IT."
All the talk about the louisville
convention being Grant side-show
is stuff aud nonsense. As we'll say
that Mr.. Douglass ran for the Presi-
dency ia 1860 in the interest of Mr..
Lincoln.

Arrest Of Forester the alleged Muir
derer of Nathan.

WASHINGTON, September l2.-Quite sem
sation is created here by the arrest of man
against whom the strongest circumstantial ev-
idence exists of being the murderer of the
banker Nathan. in New York two years ago.
He was tracked all over the country to New
Orleans, VIII ere he succeeded in hiding him
self, and sent word TO the police that if let
alone he would come out and tell all he knew
about the murder of Nathan at the same time
denying that he committed it, Billy Forces
Ter alias Billy Marshall, alias Billy or Frank
Campbell, alias Frank Harding, alias Frank
Howard, the suspected murderer, was arrest
ed in this city this morning by detectives Jar
vic, McDavitt, McElfrest and Miller, who
have been on the watch for him the last few
days, believing him to be here. He acknow l.
edged himself to be Forester. The rewards
offered for this man amount TO $4,000 outside
OF the Nathan murder, which he is suspected
of, but which remains TO be proven.

Allen Warden Democratic candidate
for Congress.

The result Of tho democratic Re-
publican Convention" at Mineral
Point last Wednesday, was the NOM
ination Of Mr. Allen Warden Of Oar
1ington, as Democratic candidate for
Congress, in place Of Hon. j. Allen
Barber.
This selection does honor TO the
double headed party that he now
represents. 1t is an endorsement of
the maxim, "prompt pay to new re-
cruits." Old and couaistent party
leaders take back seats. Fresh
apost&tes to the front. The merits
of q dozen of the best of the old Dem
Ocratic wheel horses are eclipsed by
those of some CALLED and jaded nag,
that Republicans voters have Gin
spected and condemned" branded
81. g." and turned out to grass to
wander across the lines. Mr.. War
don; like Mr.. Greeley has labored
hard and done good service in the
Republican cause. He held joint
discussions with NJ. NJ. Strong in
1868, aud no one could be more ear
nest in praising Grant and con denim
ing Democracy. Hs has been stand
ing candidate for Congress for sever.
al terms. He sought to secure Gen.
Cobb's seat, the last time that gem
tleman was nominated. He made a
stronger effort, two years ago at
Spring Green and was so badly boa-
ten that he lost his temper, harang-
ued the convention in very impru.
d9nt manner, and made some excited
statements that cost him the loss of
many friends.
We have many facts and docu-
ments in regard to Mr.. Wardsn's in
satiate desire for certain offices, both
large and small, and yet for some
reason ne has failed to secure them
vhilo adheriug to his Republican
principles. Being now unburdened
by any principles save the purpose
TO attain his ends under any pretence
he may run better in Conventions,
but we are satisfied he will not at
the polls. The persistent efforts used
TO get certain Offices have in them a
good deal of the ludicrous, and his
tory of them is due to the readers of
the Herald some day if circumstances
should make it advisable.
1t is not courteous to call our OPP
pononts "sorehesds," but we are at
least justified in saying that had
Allen Warden received some one of
the many official positions he has
coveted, it is very probable that he
would still have found Repubicanism
as patriotic and virtuous as he pro-
claimed it when he obtained the hon.
or of Presidential Eector as ster-
ping stone to Congress.
We heartily indorse the following
from the Mineral Point Tribune:
"No nomination could have been made by
the Democrats more TO our liking than that
Of Allen Warden. To defeat him Repubh-
cans will work harder than they would 10
defeat any other man in the District. They
know him, from association with him, TO be
ascheming, interruptions demagogue, and in
November will bury him under such a ma.
Jority as will forever crush political aspira-
ton out of him. He will not carry a coun Nv
III the District, except possibly Crawford"

THE N. Y. HERALD's PREDICTION.
Judging the facts as they are, the
States which voted for General
Grant in 1868 will all, or nearly sll,
vote for him in 1879, and there Will
be no more change in Indiana, Penn
sylvania and Ohio in October than
there has been in Vermont and
Maine in September.-Ne,0 York

has believed that Greeley would be

did in 1868 he will be very fortu-
