THE GRANITE WORKS. rumors
which were in circulation in the city yes
terday afternoon concerning affairs at the
granite works on the other side of the
river, had their origin in the discharge by
the superintendent, Mr.. Il. W. Smith, of
quite large number of carpenters and
others. 1t is significant fact, too, that all
the men discharged are Republicans in pol
itics, which, perhaps, furnishes the true
reason for their discharge.
We have authority for stating that Major
Joseph Walker, a substantial aud reliable
citizen of Chesterfield, was this morning
appointed by the government to be assis-
tant superintendent at the granite works.
This appointment will give complete salts

fullest trust and confidence from the gov
ernment which he sacrificed SO much to
maintain.

THE GERMAN VOTE OF NEW YORK

Upon this point the New York Evening
Post says:
No element of our population as yet dis
plays more activity in the Presidential
campaign than Il Germans. The Ger
mau Tammany leaders, who, after the dis
astrous overthrow of the ring in Novemb,r r
las, disappeared from public view, are
making extraordinary efforts to reor-anize
the old German Taumauy clubs, but have
hitherto met with but very indifferent sue
cess. Having been challenged by their
Republican opponents to produce the orig
iual of the address which Governor Hotf.
man presented at Baltimore, and which he
said was signed by fifteen thousand German
voters of New York, they have hitherto
observed suspicio S silence, and even the
potent voice of the Stats Zeltung and the
damaging charges wbichit preferred against
the Governor in regard to the address,
have thus far not elected any reply from
him. 1t is now believed that no such ad-
dress as the one presented at Baltimore was
circulated among the Germans at all, out
that the signatures were those which the
Germans several years ago appended to "a
protest against the excise law, and that they
were pasted on a declaration In favor OF
Greeley and Brown.
AT any rate, nothing can be more certain
than that maj jority of the German vote of
New York City will not be cast fo: the
Observation-Disclosures ticket. The German
press of the city is now unanimously
against Greeley and Brown, with the ex-
ception of the New York Journal, which
in 1871, defended Tweed and the ring to
the end, and which has lot recovered the
circulation and the influence it lost at that
time The Stats Zeitung, the organ of
the great mass of the German voters, Is as
strenu,us in its denunciAton of the Gree
ley ticket as ever TIE Demokrat, the

The BALTIMORE FRAUD DESoUNCED
-Ex-Mayor W W. Wheaton, of Detroit,
and late Chairman of the Democratic State
Central Committee, has addressed to the
Democratic National Committee a letter
repudiating the Greeley business. In it
be says: Those who expect Democrat
ic Administration from Horace Greeley
must assume him to be shamefully dishon-
est in politics, which, if true, should be rea-
ST enough for every Democrat to withhold
his vote from him. He must be recreant
and false to his record and his whole past
life not to disappoint such expectations.
As Democrat | have always recognized,
and still do recognize, the binding force
upon every member Of the party Of the ac
ton of the regularly constituted Conven
rions OF the party, so long as such Conven-
tions themselves keep within the party
organization but | do not yield to the
proposition that such Conventions have any
claim to the obedenc or acquiescence of
the members OF the party in the deliberate
sale to their political enemy. This IS what
was done at Baltimore, and this leaves ev-
cry Democratic not patty to the fraud free
to act and vote as he may choose

mile Desert, east of the lower sink of the

tall sand columns moving about over the

that they come together. but when they do
they dart forward like two flashes of light

Our FOR GRANT,. E. Lloyd, dele
gate to the Georgia Democratic Conven-
ton, in communication to the Atlanta Sun,
dated July 18th, thus declares fer Grant,
as between him and Greeley:
| now think the time has arrived when
passion should give place to reason; when
truth should triumph over falsehod, and
when honesty should be the best policy
With this feeling and these ideas, ap
peal to the sober second thought of the
people OF my native State.
As delegate to the Democratic Con-
vention just over, have been quiet OBJ
server of its deliberations, and am free to
confes, that the Convention acted with
wisdom in throwing aside the Cincinnati
Baltimore platform. They should have
gone another step, and repudiated chiefest
of radical sinners Horace Greeley. This
done, the glorious work would have been
complete, and our proud old party saved
from annihilation and disgrace.
As between Grant and Greeley, shall
give my humble support to the gallant
soldier who so magnanimously paroled
General Lee and his brave war worn
veterans, believing that this is the surest
road to peace and bright future.
I will never vote for Greeley, who,
above all others, is responsible for our
deep distress. ask our people to pause
and and reflect. l feel that we have
nothing whatever to gain in the election OF
Greeley, and in my opinion much to lose.
and believe that this will be the verdict of
a sober second thought of the people
Greeley wanted the rebels punished, but
General Grant wanted them forgiven
Greeley was vindictive and bitter toward
General Lee and his brave veterans
General Grant was humane and generous
Greeley is the "make up" of all isms and
prejudices General Grant is a soldier
and gentleman.
Believing thus, Ishall give him my hum
vote. With those who differ with me, !
have no quarrel. With the disruption of
our noble old party, we each have the
right to choose whom they will support
| choose to vote for Gen. Grant.

From the Trinity Journal
A TRUE DEMOCRATIC STAND.

The Journal does not desire to knowingly
mis-r, present the political views OF any
gentleman, and therefore cheertully gives
place to the following letter from Clay W
Taylor, Esq whom we erroneously classed
as supporter of Grant. We think the
stand taken by MIR. Taylor is the only one
which a Democrat who is one from princi.
pie, can consistently take.
