Out of the whole number of President
Grant appointments during the last
Congressional session, only two were
rejected by the Senate.
The editor of a Democratic paper in
Indiana died recently. His widow as
sumed the editorial chair, and like a
sensible, patriotic woman, came out un-
compromisingly for Grant.
The following is a brief political BIZ
ography:
CHAP. Geo. Alfred Townsendask-
ed President Grant to appoint him Min
lister to the Hague.
CHAP. II-President Grant didn't do
it.
CHAP. III.-Geo. Alfred Townsend is
writing doggerel campaign songs for
Greeley.
THE END.
The Hartford (Ct) Courant, referring
to the efforts making in certain quarters
belittle the military achievements Of
Gen. Grant, says: 'We shall consider
ourselves fortunate if we get through
the campaign without witnessing The pro-
duction of afidavits that Grant was new
er actually in command of our troops at
ALL"
Gov. Palmer, of Illinois, in a speech
the other day, said that Democrats must
vote for Horace Greeley. "We won't !?
shouted a voice from the crowd. Every
we'll, then said the Governor, as g
clincher. "Vote for Grant" awe
WILL" shouted the crowd, with wonder
full unanimity.
We quote the following suggestive
item from a recent New York CONNER
cial Advertiser:

President Grant is thus Sketchcd b
the Christian Union, Henry Ward Beech
er's paper:
He is not an orator, nor an enthus
asst, nor a snowy man. He has no trick
to catch applause. He is helplessl
silent, unimpassioned, simple; likin
neither public show nor ''taking appear
ances" of any kind. Considered as tn
bait of political fishermen, there wa
never less tempting fly thrown upo

they do not mention any brilliant polit
cal generalship-he has shown none. Br
he is steady, patient, honest minded an

Greeley is just finding out that tt
bailing of Jefferson Davis is calculate
to injure his prospects. His late
dodge, therefore, is to say that Dav
was guilty of no crime, was not a mu
derer, and so did not deserve imprisor
ment. Thirty thousand Union soldier
were deliberately starved to death {;
Andersonville, and as many more
other rebel prisons, while Jefferson Dav
held the helm of the Southern COME,
eracy. That was murder by the Who'll
sale, and can point to Davis as its a
thor. But the gentle humanitaris
who heads the mongrel office-seekers, n
, only has bailed the murderer of soldier
but would pledge him seat in his Ca
met in order to gain Southern votes.
The opposition papers have sudden
become sympathetic friends of Vice Pre-
ident Colfax. They discover in the mol
