A GENIUS,

twelve .year-old boy In Louisville,
who has genius In him. built a steam
fire engine a little while ago. His
family were naturally very proud of
his achievement. When the engine
was completed and ready to be set 60
ing. the proud parents invited all the
relations they could muster to see 1t
work. All! but It was a proud day
for that boy, surrounded rs he was by
aunts and uncles. and cousins, and
smiling grandmothers. They said his
name would yet slime alongside of
Watts aud Stephenson. He butt a
nice fire under the boiler, "jist Us
nat'ral," an old aunt remarked. ''as any
steam-injin | ever seed" Then the
piston began to mov and the water
spirit. and then the whistle shrieked.
and then-and then there was a loud
noise. and u ripping Of partitions, q
smashing of furniture. n breaking OF
glass, great dust, and shrieks of
alarm. The boy who had genius In
him was blown out Of the window.
knocking down several neighbors who
were peeping In. An aunt went
through tile floor Into the cellar, and a
sprightly grandmother was blown
clean up the chimney. Cousins and
other relations got badly mixed up
With wheels and piston-rods and
wrecks Of boiler plates. They won't

Among the most pleasing features Of
the present campaign Is to see how the
old liue Democrats r forsaking their
old associates and coming into the Re-
publican ranks. They have sklrmished
about on the Improbable side Of the
political field, and fed on the husks I'M
til they will stand 1t no longer, but
now willingly como In for q morsel OF
tho fatted calf. These new accessions
from the ranks Of Democracy are Of
the most talented speakers, prominent
partizans and leading spirits; just
such men "a should have Joined the
great party Of progress and power
years ago. They could not swallow
Greeley and have squarely repudiated
him. Thousands more will do SO be-
fore November. They see through his
thin hypocrisy and know that all he
wants Of them Is their assistance in
voting him Into the Presidential chair.
From every section Of the Union we
hear of honest Democrats regulating
the sham. The Democrats who agree
to swallow Greeley do not like the
dose, yet they simply take itas the best
thing that offers. Anything to beat
Grant" forces them to swallow it.
Before November, however, they will
look upon Grant with a more favora-
BILE eye. The true patriot will rise
above the ambitious %pretender, and
the people Of the South, as we'll as the
rest Of the country, will see In the hero
Of Appomatox the true friend Of all
sections, and the safest man to trust at
the head Of the nation.
Under the administration Of Grant
the country has abundantly prospered.
and was never in a more prosperous
condition than 1t Is at present. Labor
Is In demand everywhere, and wages
are high. Every ~law.abiding citizen
Is In the full enjoyment of personal
liberty. Our wealth and resources are
attracting to u shores the skilled Ia
Dor and the intelligence of other lands.
Our bonds are equal In value to gold ;
our money circulation Is but a small
per cent. below them. Our credit Is
good In all the money markets Of the
world, and our debt Il being funded ut
a low rate Of Interest. We are al
peace with all the world. Our troubles
with England are being amicsbly set-
tied. The Southern States are rapidly
recovering from the effects Of the
and are growing In prosperity. All
this Is due to a wise and honest admin
istration Of national affairs. The cleo
tlon Of Greeley would unscttlc public
confidence and induce a financial pan-
&c. The people know this, hence thelr
determination to re-elect President
Grant.

SENATOR FOB NEVADA.

Under the above caption tho San
Francisco Chronicle Of yesterday gives
All editorial review Of the Senatorial
situation here In Nevada, mentioning
each candidate and his qualifications.
ETC., separately, and giving each one
jesse" The Chronicle does not
seem to have an exalted idea of any Of
u present or protective Senators.
Mr.. Sharon having withdrawn, leaves
Mr.. Jones as the most prominent as
pirant, therefore the Chronicle gives
him the toughest shot. We extract the
following rs a specimen Of the article:
Mr.. Sharon has had the good taste to
withdraw his pretensions, and we may
drop him from our reflections. John
p. Jones Is a lucky miner, or, at least.
a successful stock gambler. Accident
has given him n bank account, and he
has the amazing presumption to EN-
deavor to purchase for himself the
Senatorial toga. HIS coin buys the
rough political elements OF THIS STATE
and Nevada. Ward loafers from San
Francisco r sent to the ComstocE
aud placed upon the pay-rolls Of mines
to do the dirty work Of the prelim-
mary canvass, for whose services stock
holders pay. Whisky mills and gam-
bling saloons and livery stables are
bought or helped; mining superin-
~tenIemts, secretaries aud o'erseers are
chosen for their political efficiency
houses OF prostitution and gambling
bells are made to do duty In this vile
business. There Is not today a more
d~isgraceful spectacle presented In the
whole length and breadth Of the Amer.
lean Republic than this Senatorial
contest in the State Of Nevada ; not
only disgraceful to the men who thus
endeavor to demoralize and disgrace a
people. but disgracetul to the manhood
and dignity Of the State and the COM
munity that submits to allow such
practices to 60 unrebuked In their
| midst.

fraud practced in Pennsylvania
"When SO large a majority. was declared for
the Republican Slate ticket on the Sth of Oc-
tober, we stated that we did not regard the re.
suit as fraudulent. Orr judgment rested on
the belief that Gen. Grants prestige and the
Generalization of the Democracy in conse-
quence of the surrender at Baltimore had done
the work but every hours subsequent cxpe-
ricnee has proved a system of frauds unparal-
leled in the records of eiectionsin this coun-

30 Democrats-the Senate ~ RAIDS and ii De-

Democratic, but as the opposition carried this
year seventeen Of the twcnty-three counties Of
the State, they have some show Of reason for
their calculation and will certainly succeed un-
less the Democrats take prompt measures TO
counteract their efforts. Most of the counties
carried by them This year MS essentially De-
mocratic as they were a year ago. glance at
the table, in another column, will shew the
vote in all these counties, and will also show
that they were carried for Grant, not for any
particular love for that gentleman but because
of the appropriately Of Greeley, who could not
rally the masses. Is the table it will be seen
that more than Ten thousand Democrats alb
scented Themselves from the polls, making no
allowance for the increased number of voters
who were put upon the registration lists The
