CIIICAGO'S PETER FUNKS.



The Chicago Nail, discussing the Funk
fraterntity of that city, says;
II is amusing to see how these auction
eers will handle a crowd of men who
generally believe that they can't be taken
in-oh, no, not they He will tickle them
into good humor by acting as clownish as
possible, playing the accordion and sing
Ing, and sometimes by dancing.
In the meantime he will extol the merits
of some worthless article, and the amused
specta ors will, seemingly unconscious,
run a lively race with one another In bid
ding for it, until the cheater himsclf is
compelled to stop for breath, and "knocks
down. the article for price twice its
value. He always takes good care that
the article he sells brings'far more than its

tons of the Greeley conspiracy BY
the Binghampton Republican, the
Pittsburg Dispatch says
Now We wonder at the afYectio
which the Democracy all at once
evince for Mr. Greeley, or that the
infamous Saunders has become his
bosom friend. Here We have the
secret. Elect Greeley, a Demo-
cratic Congress. and the loyal north
is to be made 10 pay for the lost
limbs of the traitors who had tried
to dis troy the Republic. Do this
and the next step would be 20 pay
them for their slaves, and either
assume their debt or repudiate our
own. We are glad these thugs
have come to light. They show
the patriotic men Of every party
the d aDgers ahead, and will raise q
storm Of indignation which should
sweep Greeley and his safe llites in
November forever from the arens
Of our politics. Let the fathers
and mothers Of our heroic soldiers
ponder over Mr.. Greeley's infam-
Gus proposition.

The Chattanooga Herald says that the
statement that all the southern states " i'll 90
for Greeley and Brown, the nominees of the
Baltimore convention, is grave error. Our
chances of success in Virginia, South Caro-
lima, Alabama, Mississippi and Arkansas, are
by no means discouraging. As for Louisiana,
it is doubtful. and neither party can, with
propriety now claim. it. II our Republican
friends in those states do their duty without
the fear of the ku- klux before their eyes, We
shall have no concern As to the result. Cour-
age and well. directed work will remove noun
tains and bring success. Republican princi-
pies must sooner or later triumph in the
south. Thousands Of Democrats, who are
sick Of contention, turmoil and war, viii
quietly cast their votes for Grant and Wilson
in the coming struggle. No longer ago than
yesterday An old Democrat told us that the
hope Of the south was in the Republican
party, and that Els friends need not be sur
prised II he voted for Grant.

WHEN Greeley was clothed and
in his right mind, he talked sensi.

the Tribune Of Feb. 6, 1871, about
Gratz Brown and the Demo cratic
party:
I'VE learn with pleasure that
quite number of tho Democratic
leaders have resolved to push b.
Gratz Brown, the new Governor
Of Missouri, for next President.
We do not see how they could bets
ter this choice. Gratz isn't much
to look At, bat he has ideas in his
head, and is rather honest for q
successful politician He was a
good second rate editor, makes q
fair speech, is a radical free trader,
and can get some negro as well as
some white Republican votes;
whereas any known Copperhead
will get none Of either but those
who can't help themselves. If the
Democrats we're in the ascendant,
they wouldn't touch him with q
ten-foot poIe-tEat we all under.
stand-but they are the UNDER
dog at present. and must resort to
strategy TO get uppermost. We
assure them that they might select
. much worse candidate than Gratz
Brown; and since he just helped
Frank Blair into the Senate, We
assume that the Blair family will
60 their length for him. They
mustn't attempt to put him of with
the vice-presidency, tor he has al
,, ready . better place; but il they
will suppress their Ku Klux, put

to run q clean Copperhead ticket

A IIard-casea Nepotiss.

Then Look at Gooding's case !; it
70 one Of the worst on record.
David is not q bad sort of man
considering that he il a Demo-
craf. A. o babe we understand he
gave NO remarkable sign Of human
dcpravity. He was a happy, roll
licking boy, and, though not re-
garded as an infant phenomenon,
was considered to be as decent o.
the average juvenile Hoosier. Yet
We are obliged to admit that his
case has taken q very bad turn:
/; He seems to have lost all sense of
pRopriety. and his memory 10 to
his own record is wholly UNDER
mined. For instance, he charges
President Grant with nepotism,
and does not hesitate to make that
. strong point in his speeches.
Now, what are the facts in David's
case : Is the house he lives in 80
wholly free from the vitreous ele-
ment a. to justify him in throwing
any considerable number Of stones?
We fear not. We fear that the
future historian will be compelled
to record that David Gooding at
tempted to establish q personal
government and an internal rev.
enue despotism in Hancock county.
ANY how the fact is that while this
bitter enemy of nepotism' occu-
pied the lucrative position Of Mar
shall for the District of Columbia
under Andy johnson. no had one
brother-in-law appointed Assistant
Assessor of Internal Revenue in
Hancock county, another Deputy
Collector. another Postmaster at
Greenfield, and two brothers to
positions in Washington. This
was all very nice, and we DONE
blame David for taking care Of his
kin, but it Is calculated to make
an honest man feel like vomiting
to hear him abusing Grant for
nepotism. when, OFT Of sc, DOC
offices, Grant has scarcely more
relatives in place than David had
