The Grant Radicals held jubilee
last night, which was attended by few
white men and the usual preponderance
of negroes. The old warriors OF the
party, Judge Barbour Lewis, Colonel
Eaton, Colonel 7. S. Ayers, Colonel Ed.
Shaw, General W. j. Smith, and a host
of lesser light OF all colers, came to the
front and declared for Grant in a series
of stupid resolutions full of servility and
malignity. Colonel VIM. X. Moore in
dited note to the meeting, regretting
his inability to attend, but declaring for
Greeley unless a Democratic nomination
is made; then Grant is his choice, as he
is with all those possessing the loyal
American heart" The loyal Ameri-
can heart" like the royal Bengal tiger,
Is something to be admired in the polit-
cal menagerie. 1t, OF course, means a
heart that loves Radicalism and Grant,
hates the South, in fact a heart filled
With loyalty-whatever that may mean
N these vile Radical days.

THERE are about two hundred and
seventy-fve thousand voters in Tennes-
see, of whom two-thirds, or over one
hundred and eighty thousand, are Demo
Gratis. The Radical vote reaches about
ninety thousand, leaving a clear Demo
cratic majority of ninety thousand at
least From the Radical party, the
white wing OF it, must be taken the Lib
eral Republican element numbering at
present, say in round numbers, ten
thousand. This element, so hopelessly
in the minority, proposes to place an
electoral ticket before the people, which
ticket will, in all probability, be sup
ported by the Democracy in the next
Presidential contest. The era Of stump
oratory has passed away among intelli-
gent citizens, who prefer to be instructed
through the press Of the country rather
than have the matter retailed out to
them by "stumpers who secure their
information also from the press. This
tearing of passion to tatters and spread
eagleism on the stump belong to a past
age. from which we have fortunately
escaped. it is to be hoped never to return.
The electors hereafter will be staid gem
tlemeu. who will remain at home until
called upon to carry the news to the
electoral college. In Europe Americans
are called a nation Of orators. 1t

GALL FORTH THE HERALD.

The growing weakness in this country
in aristocratic society for heraldic de-
vices and armorial bearings in order to
explain what has been, calls for some
attention from the press. Who is whof
"a most important question in business
matters-sinks into ridieule from the
standpoint Of tomb-searching for ped
igree. Like certain American plant,
the best part of many families is under
ground. Why, then, disturb the ashes
OF the dead2 In New York. a genealog-
ical society, a kind Of herald college,
has been established for the benefit of
the American noblesse who delight in
searching and delying after great grand
fathers who have long since crossed the
Styx. This weakness is growing rapidly
and is pereeptibly spreading westward.
In Great Britain the pages of Debrett
and Burke are enlivened with nu-
merous picturesque family histories,
deliberately concocted, IN order to Sc
duce the average Britain Of poor but
respectable ancestry into the belief that
he is descended from some hero or sage
of olden times. The New York Herald's
college can satisfy those having a weak
ness for great grandfathers. Why not
open turf book for bipeds-giving the
pedigree Of each and every individual?
The best society requires this as an
invaluable aid to parents of phySiolog-
zeal turn Of mind bent on occurring the
health and happiness of their children
by cross on blood. When all this
shall have been established, the armorial
bearings on a carriage or buggy will tell
the tale to all the world without further
inquiry. True, it may develop "snob-
berry and snobs," but what of that
Without either, society would become
dull and dreary waste, and nothing
would be left for sensible people to laugh
at--sensible people, who disturb not the
dust Of the long forgotten dead, who
"aiterilifes fitful fever, sleep well"
