A Democratic exchange asks "who
are Grants friends" 1t is easier to say
who are not his friends. Neither JEFF.
Davis nor J. G. Breckenridge nor the
pirate Semmes Is his frieod very few
ex-rebels, or original secessionists,
hardly any active traitors and no Ku
Klux ; no Democrat who stayed 1T home
during the war to discourage volunteer
ing and promote desertions no Son Of
Liberty who plotted for the release of
rebel prisoners and the burning Of North
ern cities no Democratic leader who
was in correspondence with tho rebel
agents during the war, or who visited
them in Canada, and no Southern sym
pathizer who favored . Northwestern
confederacy % T.. A. Hendricks did.
None Of these are the friends of
GRANT.

This is a year Of political surprises. After
the treachery of Horace Greeley and the con-
sent OF SO many of those who haye enjoyed
the emoluments of Republican success, to as
sist in defeating the party which saved the
republic from dissolution, and to deliver it
into the hands Of the party that sought it's
destruction, and after the bargain and sale by
which few managers agreed to transfer the
Democratic party to the support of Horace
Greeley. there is no sensation left for great
surprise at the Democratic reaction. And
this will make no important change In the
situation in respect to the Republican party.
1t will have the same Democratic enemy to
fight whether it appears with Horace Greeley's
old white coat and hat fixed on pole in
front of its ranks, or whether it appears under
its own leaders and With its old party colors,
and a platform f11ed up in different. form,
but with like deceptive intent. Whatev er
metamorphoses the Democracy may go
through, the Republican party will have no
occasion for change OF front, and it will
meet the Democracy in whatever shape it
may assume with eutre confidence that the
Republican party will score another victory,
and the Democratic managers will add the
Greeley blunder-the worst Of alto their
long list OF confessed blunders.

He took the male bovine by the horns.
Gen. Grant, in some eminent
respects, has shown himself as
much superior in civil as in mill
itary affairs. He has promptly
taken positions and assumed re-
sponsibilities which no mere
politician, of the ordinary run
Of our statesmen, would have
dared to do. Take for instance
his direct announcement in his
inaugural address in favor of Ne
gro Suffrage. The party which
elected him, had lodged the
question in its platform. What
other men, outside of the pro-
nounced Radicals, but would
have followed that example as
President, and lodged, or at
least postponed declaration on
! the subject? But not so with
Grant. An old-time Democrat
before the war, he at once de-
monstrated the soundness Of his
conversion, the frank heroism OF
his nature, as well as the high
est craftsmanship, by taking the
bull by the horns.

The Choice is Between Grant and
Greeley.
Judge Hoadly in his recent
speech at Cincinnati. said he could
not support Mr.. Greeley, and gave
the reasons: Neither his opinions,
his character, the manner of his
nominations, or his surroundings,
entitle him to support. The Ad-
ministration of Grant is at least
entitled to the credit of having i'm
perishably linked its name with
one of the greatest achievements
of the century, the adoption of the
Fifteenth Amendment, which has
given the right of suffrage to every
black man in the nation. 1t has
preserved universal peace with for
eign governments. It has faithful
ly applied the revenues to the pay
ment of the debt. From an ad
ministration directed by Horace
Greeley, supported by John Coch-
rane aad Fenton in New York,
Mcclure in Pennsylvania, Gratz
Brown in Missouri, Yarmouth in
Louisiana, Read in Florida, we
have the right to augur nothing
but distaste. An alliance between
Tammany and Greeley, with Frank
Blair as high priest cond ucting the

greedy scramble after Office and a
rapid depletion of all resources of

called your attention to the fact
that S40O was ALLOW ed for some

two. One ia a citizen of this

dead, and now Judge Gooding re-

called upon him in regard to the
matter he refused to pay anything,
and gave as reason that her
hu.band had volunteered his ser
vices and agreed to pay his own
expenses. I hold in my hand her
affidavit to that fact. The pretcxt
that he had volunteered and agreed
to pay his own expenses is not a
very plausible one.
If it is 50, it is very unfortun te

shows that Judge Gooding got

matter between them. I care

How to Bemove ON Unpleasant Odor

1AOW 10 oCAOSC Ou li0dSdut OuOIs
The unpleasant odor produced
by pe,spiration is frequently the
source of vexation to persons who
are subject to it. Nothing is sim
pier than to remove this odor much
more efectually than by the appli-
cation Of such costly onguents and
perfumes as are in use. 1t is only
necessary to procure some COM
pound spirits of ammonia, and
place about two tablespoonfuls in
q basin Of water. Washing the
face, hands, and arms with this,
leaves the skin as clean and sweet
as one could wish. The wash is
perfectly harmless. 1t is recon-
mended on the authority of an ex-
perisnced physician.

A thought that on . day like this

When in your dark and soulful eyes
read your love in glad surprise
Read through tears with bliss replets-
The story ever new and sweet.
And you will come again some day,
Some golden day-not far away
While summers breath is on the air,
And ere the woods are brown and bare.
And when we meet-O Joy complete!
In quiet lane, or crowded street,
Say, will you look. dear love, the way

When through your eyes, your love-lit eyes

But you will come ere die the flowers,
And will count the tagging hours,
With trustful prayers for you between,
Through al!th days that intervene
Like some sad, "solemn suited" arn,

A GOOD SIGN.

The young men of the nation are
largely in favor Of Grant and Wilson.
This Is . good sign, for it shows that tho
future Of the Republic will be in safe
hands.
Young men growing up amorg the
living issues Of the present are free from
those prejudices which cause many citi-
Gems to cling to party on account Of its
old traditions. There are thousands in
the 'snd who vote the Greeley ticket for
10 other reason than because it was
nominated at Baltimore. They have
been Democrats all their lives, and are
willing to swallow anything that is la
beled Democratic. They are blind to
their countryis interest, and go for their
party ticket, fright or wrong"
From this blind partisanship the
young men of the nation are free. They
judge the two parties before the people
for what they are, not what they have
been. They know that the Republican
party has done and is doing we'll for the
country. They know that the party
that has adopted measures which the
Democrats have ceased to oppose and
now profess to accept must be the best
party to continue in power. II its work
has been good, its guardianship over that
work ought to be equally beneficial.
We are glad to welcome the young
men Of the Republic into the ranks OF
our party. They have the fire of youth
and make earnest workers. The cause
sustained by young men can not fail. It
grows in strength with every year. It
has vitality that no opposition can
check. Its destiny is onward and up
ward. We lay no claim to those old tos-
sells who are welded to the empty shell
OF Democracy. With Young America
ossring our standard we have no fears of
the future. Our victory in November
| will be the promise of still greater tri-
umphs in the future. As long as the
Republican party continues to be as it is
now-the party of justice, honesty, econ
omy, and loyalty-the young men of
America will be enlisted in its service to
fight its battles, win its victories, and
uphold its banner of universal liberty.

= tfhe following are the particulars in the

sas. short Geographic account of which we
have already printed. We find them in the
Kansas City Bulletin of the 9th ult.;
Last Saturday desperate shooting ARRAY
took place in Salem church, about six miles
east of Independence, in this county, in
which George Webb, young farmer of that
neighborhood, lost his life, and James and
Jacob AIDE, two of his neighbors, received
painful wounds. The particulars OF the at
fair, as related to the reporter by an eye wit
ness, are as follows:
Last summer Mrs. Webb, the mother OF
the murdered man. while in church and dur
ing the services. alleges that she heard AIDE
saw to James Hammondtree that he-Ade-
was in constant expectation of being assassi-
mated. She repeated the remark. AIDE de-
MED having said anything of the kind, and
Mrs Webb reiterated her assertion. Out of
this grew quarrel, and AIDE and Webb meet
ing came to blows over it, Charges were pre-
ferred against the three by one of the deacons
of the church, of which all of them were
members, and the trial was set for last Satur-
day. While it was in progress dispute
arose between AIDE and Mrs. Webb as to the
testimony, and almost simultaneously young
Webb and he drew their revolvers, and
scarcely ten feet apart, commenced firing and
interchanged ten or twelve shots. Webb re-
ceived several shots in the body, and AIDE one
in the hand and one in the arm. in the elbow.
His brother, Jake AIDE, rushed in, and in the
endeavor to separate them received ball
through the hand.
While the ARRAY between Webb and AIDE
was at its height, Matt Hammondtree, who
espoused AIDES side of the quarrel, drew his
revolver and fired two shots into Webb's
body. David Hammondtree, boy of eigl-
teen, says that he fired one shot at Webb.
After he had emptied all the chambers of his
revolver, Webb started for the door, walked
a few steps, staggered and fell dead, his body
pierced with six shots, one of which was
through the heart. AIDE mounted his horse
and made his way to Independence, where
his wound was dressed. He then W ent to the
farm house of Nelson Cook, where he was,
later in the day, arrested by Constable Hope
Hammondtree made his escape and is still at
large.
Webb was a farmer,a young man Of twenty
eight years of age. He leaves wife and one
child. The parties to the ARRAY were near
neighbors and members of Salem Church, of
the Baptist denomination, of which Rev. Mr..
Hampton is pastor. The affray has created
great excitement in the neighborhoOd
