by the excited populace.
The Greeley papers of the North are

Of the Greeley orators of Kentucky.
The Greeley orators of Kentucky say
things that they ought not in prudence

The funniest thing Schurz did was
threatening to chastise Mast for carica-
turing him. The artist actually roared
with laughter. The joke of it is that
Mast is a broad shouldered, double-fst-
ed fellow, whose fighting weight is 160
pounds, while Schurz is-well, look at
Harper's Weekly.
Newsfiom the South African diamond
fields continues favorable. The yield of
diamonds at the Cape of Good Hope

Advices from Belfast, Ireland, dated
the 18th inst, relative to the recent riots
there-an extended account of which
will be found in another portion of this

rioters destroyed over two and a half
million dollars worth Of property.
The report from the observatory at
Washington, states that the mean tenn
perature during the 40 days preceding

vatory, shows that the period was warm

Most of the Massachusetts, papers not
only refuse to follow Sumner, but throw
little left handed compliments at him,
like this, from the Boston Globe: mo
representative of the people who was
ever sent to Washington has cost the
United States SO many millions of
dollars, by bitter and useless discussion
and general opposition, as Charles
Sumner"
Ex-Atterney General Alderman, in
writing to the Chattanooga Herald on
Southern lawlessness, says: "Should
Grant be reelected, the offenders will
cease to hope for impHnity in crime. and
will betake themselves to better ways
or to other countries. Should Greeley
be elected, they will feel that their side
has triumphed, and in the intoxication
of victory, will break out in violence,
the fercer from long restraint"
Nj. ]. K. Rukenbrod, editor of the
Salem Republican, has invented and
patented anew mailing machine, which
we believes superior to anything of the
kind now in use. 1t prints the names
of subscribers very rapidly on the mar
gin of papers it is very simple in its
construction and is operated by the
hand. We think it superior to the
Dick and Warren machin es, while it
only costs about half the price of those.
That was a very discouraging Greeley
mass meeting which was gotten up
among the Germans of Troy. Two men
originated it, and about one hundred
and fifty Germans gathered. On the
Chairman putting the question, it was
found, to his great surprise, that every
man present, with the exception of the
original two, was for Grant. The plan
of action was slightly modified, and a
very enthusiastic Grant and Wilson
campaign club was organized then and
there.
The Democrats and Liberals of the
Sixth Congressional District are at
loggerhesds. They met in Toledo OIL
the 2lst inst. to nominate candidates for
Congressman and Presidential elector.
The Democrats held their convention
separate and apart from the Liberals
and fatty refused to V jointly.
They did the nominating and run the
machine, greatly to the disgust of the
who, after repudiating the
nomination for Congressman as made
by the Democrats, adjourned in high
dudgeon without effecting anything.
And now the New York Liberal Re-
publicans are in trouble, they say the
Democrats don't treat them fair. Her
aid political correspondent, who has
been canvassing the State and picking
up political news, says that the Liberal
Republicans complain that, while the
great body ofthe democrats are all right
they are not working at all for the sue
of the ticket Greeley and Brown.
They are letting us Liberal Republicans
do all the ploughing and sowing and
hoeing, and they sit on the rails of the
fence and look on. They don't turn out
at our mass meetings and they do not
US with speakers" If this fatal
disease of general apathy has fallen so
soon upon the reconstructed Democracy,
will il be ill Noyember 2
