b. Gratz Brown a Duelist.
From the Cleveland Heraid.l

GALLON, July Is.
EDS. HERALD: All the candidates for
president and vice president are now in the
field, unless the straight-out Democrats make
a ticket. 1t is a good while until the presi-
dental election, and until that time it is inn
portant that we study well who and what
these candidates are. When we get all the
Information we can, we ought to select the
best and discard the others. Mr.. John q.
Covert, editor of the Gallon Democrat, Was at
one time Q citizen of st. Louis, and became
familiar with the history of B. Gratz Brown.
Democratic and Liberal Republican candi-
date for vice president on the ticket with
Greeley. In his paper of May 70, Mr.. Covert,
in speaking OF Mr.. Brown, says:
lie was once challenged to fight duel by
Lieut.. Gov. Reynolds, Of Missouri, and ac-
cepted the challenge, choosing rifles at dis
tance Of 100 yards. Reynolds was q near.
sighted man, incapable of distinguishing q
man from a COW fifty feet of, SO he naturally
objected to the arrangement and requested
that pistols or swords be employed. To this
the valiant Gratz demurred, and Reynolds be.
gan to insult him every time the two met.
They never encountered each other in the
streets of st. Louis, in public library, or
any other place, but Reynolds heaped insult
on insult upon the un chvalrous Gratx in or
der to provoke challenge from him. At last
matters grew SO hot that Brown could not
| staod it longer. All St. Louis looked on
him with contempt, and he finally summoned
up courage to send friend to Reynolds to de-
liver challenge and make the preliminary ar.
rangements for q duel. Two days later the
men met on Bloody Island in the Mississip-
pi river, pistols in hand, and Brown came
away in . carriage with a dangerous v ound
in his leg. He carried q cane for the next
few months, and in this, his first and last en-.
gagement, received his only scar
Now. is this true? Is this aspira mt for the
vice-presidential chair in fact a duelist? By
the laws of most of the states of the union
dueling il made crime. Has it come t.
such pass that duelist--a criminal-mus'
be elected to the second Office in the nation
Is the moral sentiment of the country so low
as to do this GreeleJ and Brown and theil
friends claim to be reformers. How is tbi.
for reform Is such a man fit successor t,
Mr.. Coltax? Or can there be any compart
son between duelist-a criminal -and sucl
. man as Gen. Wilson, of Massachusetts,, tn
Republican candidate for the same Office
Let the comparison be made between Gov
Brown and Gen. Wilson. Let the purity ii
life and character of Gen. Wilson be place
in contrast with the dueling and political sin
of Gov. Brown, and let the people say who i
most ft for this high Office.

CHARLES SUMNER says, "GRANr can't

that he was Illegally confined, and SO

story, the lawyer said with . confident
smile "Pshaw! man; they can't put
you in jail for that
Can't they thought"

ferrous. They can't put . man in Jail

"But that they have, though urged
the prisoner, who fully agreed with the
lawyer that they couldn't do it, but
was unable to get it out Of his head that
he was in Jail, nevertheless.
II tell you, my dear fellow, it is i'm

charge like that, it's against the law"

The MIscHIEF. CARRIER.-Tbe
slandcrer himself is not more
odious than the person who carries
to the ear of one friend every in

.oRArraAND HIS AccUsElls.

From the Cinciunati Gasetts. -
Maybe one Of these days the
journalists who make it their par
ticular business to traduce the
President will become discouraged
at repeated failures, and turn to
some more honest pursuit. Gen
Grant, from the beginning of his
career. has been persistently as.
sailed in the most shameful manner,
md after every assault his charac-
ter has shone forth not only un-
tarnished but brighter than before.
For his first military successes he
he was rewarded with calumnles,
which threatened for . time to de>
stroy him he held his peace. and
false testimony broke down Of IT,
self, leaving his reputation higher
than ever. At every critical
period of the war he Vas attacked
again; before Vicksburg, the Wild.
erness; at Petersburg, and perhaps
we shall never know how near We
came to losing his services At
moments when he alone could
save our armies. Under these
trials he was still silent. and the
people, penitent for their tempor-
ary Injustice, honored him after
ward with all the more enthusi-
asm.
When peace had been declared
he was traduced with redoubled
malice by all classes Of his po!iti-
cal opponents from Andrew John
son down to the World, and the
result was his election to the Pres
idency by most magnificent ma
jority. In his present elevated
position the attacks have been in
cessent, but though he has kept to
his sensible resolution of holding
his tongue, his enemies have
been uniformly and imme.
diately confused. =
We never knew the propagatorE
of such stories to acknowledg,
their faIsity after they had beer
proved, but this makes little prac
tical Difference, for the peopl'
know the truth. and will homo
their president all the more for th'
: obloquy Of which he has been th,
victim Judging FROM the pas
we should say that Gen. Grant
enemies are taking the best course
. to insure his elevation for anothc
term.
. -Of the foregoing We did no
t write a word. but it is % good an
just that We endorse it, and as evi
dence of our appreciation of til
sentiments it expresses i. is print
ed in editorial type. If any Gree
: ley paper dares to question th
l judgment Of the writer, or 10 dis
t pute his honesty, we will complai
OF him to Horace Greeley, for
was Mr.. Greeley who wrote tn
