low Horace Greeley. If it We're worth while
to reason with such men, We should saw to
them, it is certain that either Greeley or Grant
will be elected. Greeley is an able, fearless
and honest man, though possessed, they say,
of some peculiarites, but they are all in the
direction Of justice, liberty and mercy. The
Cincinnati platform is a good one, and Mr..
Greeley's letter OF acceptance endorses it
broadly and fully. 1t is impossible to name

Greeley and the democratic party are not

How Logan Happened to Skip over to
Grant

The opposition of John A. Logan to the re-
nomination of Grant, up to within 10 days of
the Philadelphia convention, and his sympa
| thy with liberalism, was so well known, that
| there was no little astonlshment on the part
OF the uninitiated at his sudden skip over to
Grant about a week before the adjournment
OF congress. The matter, however, is very
thoroughly explained and accounted for by
recent revelations.
About month before the adjournment of
Congress the usual Indian appropriation bill
was passed. In it was contained an appro-
priation of 100000 to be used in 'pacifylng'
the Teton Sioux Indians of the Upper Nilsson.
II. Now at least S450,0O0 of this appropria.
ton was an uncalcimined fraud. The entire
tribe OF Tetons embraces less than 80 lodges
say $50 souls. Fifty thousand dollars will!
support the whole tribe year on Astor House
fare. The other $4,000 are, therefore, a
pure steal.
NOW nobody IN the whole nation under.
stands all the ms and outs of the Indian ring
imam John A. Logan. He saw at glance the
gigantic proportions of this steal, and deter.
mined to have hand in it. The projectors
and inventors Of the steal had it all cooked
up that Superintendent Wall, of the Indian
department, and A. J. Simmons, agent at
Min river, on the Upper Missouri, should
squeeze this magnificent plumb but imagine
the establishment of the ring when they found,
about the time John A. Logan was making
his speech in reply to Summers impeachment
OF Grant, that the President had appointed
one Major Wham, a distant relative and OBJ |
sequious toady of John A. Logan, to draw
from the treasury and attend to the entire |
disbursement of this half million for the paci-
fication Of this dozen score of breec' ,less Te-
tons! 1t is believed Logan's share of this
steal will not be dollar less than quarter of |
million. Well may he hurrah for Grant.

North Carolina.

All eyes, politically speaking, are now cen
tered on North Carolina Her state election
occurs on the first Monday IN August, and the
result, it is believed, will largely Indicate III,
general political drift all over the South. The
state has hitherto been strongly republican
except that, at the last election, majority OF
the legislature was elected in favor of the
Impeachment: OF that model thief and Grant
man, Gov Holden. Quite a number, however,
OF the members the legislature who voted for
the impeachment of Holden were republicans.
SO that politically, the state may be regarded
as having been largely republican ever since
the war. Nevertheless the GRANTEES are fear
fully alarmed that the Greeley storm may
sweep over the state at this August election,
and if it does, there would be no hope of
Grants carrying single southern state
But our impression is that at this August
election the Liberal party will be beaten. The
means IN the hands Of the government to c0m-
pei an administration victory in that state are
so overwhelming that mere political honesty
and muscle viii contend against them at fear.
ful odds. In The first place the radicals have
the entire registry machinery in their own
hands, and We have in many cases seen how
unscrupuously that machinery has been used
In the south to compel loyal victories" 1t
Is within bounds TO presume that full u third
OF the Liberal Republican and Democratic
voters will be omitted from the registry but
everything white or black IN the shape OF hu
mainly will be registered on the radical side
Then, under the kuklux law, over a thousand
leading democrats and liberals have been
placed nnder arrest on the charge of kuklux-
ism. These men are threatened with trial and
conviction on the evidence of s0borned negro
witnesses unless they are willing to purchase
release from arrest by agreeing to vote the
Grant ticket; and to procure indie. ments
against these men, perhaps five thous, | wit.
nesses are summoned -ragamutfinsa and afers,
not one of whom can honestly earn dollar a
day, but who, to keep them faithful as GRAFT
men, are paid $3.50 a Cay as such witnesses.
Heretofore, it Is stated that about $1,000 {,
year have paid the expenses OF the L. S. Dis
trict Court in that sta.e; but for the present
year the t. s. Marshal has already drawn
S2S0000, of which $4,000 have been drawn
within the past two weeks to pay "wltness"
fees.
Besides all these means, perfectly irresisti
bic in themselves, one would think, the state |
IS flooded with Grant orators, with Secretary
Boutwell, and Henry Wilson at their head !
and negroes from all parts of the south are
being colonZed in the state to vote at this |
election.
Thus a democratic victory in North Caro-
lima III August would be next to a miracle |
yet we hope for the best, though it Is - hoping
against hope"

Charles Sumner has been interviewed, and

DO Reconciliation, and that If the people Of the
United States north and south, could only get
to understand that the election of Mr. Greeley
meant reconciliation of the two sections, and of
the whites and blacks, they would give him such
a support as no presidential candidate ever re-
ceived.
Hon J. X. Morehead, late Republican Con.

prominent man, has declared for Greeley; so has
the Hon. John w. Riddle, late republican mayor

Hon. William Stewart, formerly NJ. G. from
Mercer, and one Of the most influential republi
CANS in the west, also writes letter stating that
he will support Greeley. He says II think the
time has arrived when it is necessary to break
up the corrupt rings which control Grants al.
