aREELEY as REFORM CANDIDATE.

| The profanity e. IForace Gxccaey;
the candidate of the Reformers( q
and Tammany thieves, has been as
proverbial as his shocking bad
white hat and his inevitably slouch-
ing necktie. We find in ono of the
leading religious papers of the
United States, the following para
graph fully substantiating our as
sertions
A witness was called who testifi-
ed to the correctness of a published
report he had made of an inter-
view he had with Greeley, shortly
after the killing of Richardson.
The witness said that in all cases
the ideas were Mr.. Greeley's, and
in most, his very words. 81 modi-
fed some expressions" he said.
"What expressions 2" asked the
Judge. s"rhe profane words which
Mr.. Greeley used. In some places
where he used the name of God,
omitted the name ont of respect to |
Mr.. Greeley. l also left out many |
of the Oaths. He swore a great |
deal more than have reported. Ifl
had reported conversation with |
Mr.. Greeley without any profane |
swearing in it, no journal in the |
city would have received it as IA
true report"
The above extract is from the
Observer of May 18th, 1870. and
occurs in an article entitled, "Scenes
in the Nc Farland Trial for Murder"
We commend it TO the serious atten-
ton of our readers. TheSecessIonists
and Tammanyites are united upon
Greeley to man aud are endeavor-
ing to palm him off upon the coun-
try as pattern of morality and
propricty-a sort of model man for
the Presidency. We propose TO I
strip the guise from off the arch
hypocrite and show him up as a ;
bogus standard bearer of Democ-
racy-s vascilating, unsafe man for {
the chief magistrate OF the Union
4 representative of unsound doc
Lrines-the pet of the worst men
North and South. Finally the libel I
ious assailants of President Grant 7
will have enough to do to defend
heir own candidate without find
ng leisure to invent new falsehoods t
lbOut the man who, according to L
"never has been defeated t
Ind never will be."-BuffaIo Eve

EMPORIA NEW S.
FRIDAY, SEPT. G. 1872.
KEEP IT IN MIND.

| Horace Greeley is believer il
the old Calhoun doctrine of Stat,
rights. His past record and his
letter Of acceptance of the Balti.
more nomination prove this. This
fatal doctrine has been the cause
of all our national troubles. II
threatened the disruption of the
nation in Jackson's time; it at
tempted it under Lincoln. To de-
feat its last effort to break up the
Union, cost the nation over three
hundred thousand lives, and at
least four thousand millions of
dollars.
Bear in mind that this was the
fearful cost to the North, while
the expense TO the South must
have been equally great. To IA
vor the election of q man whose
record is tainted by this doctrine
is TO invite a renewal of past
troubles. That Horace Greeley
favored it in 1861, and did much
toward encouraging the South to
withdraw from the Union, is a.
matter of history. That he has
since defended it is n matter of
record. That he believes in it to-
day is evident from the tone of his |
letter of acceptance, wherein he
speaks Of the Federal subvcrsion
Of State rights" and the duty of |
leaving States free to protect their.
citizens in such manner as they
nay prescribe.
We all know the nature of the
protection prescribed by most of
he Southern States, and we as
know that without Fed
'ral protection there would be to
large class of citizens South no
protection whatever. We are
Wiling to let the dead past bury
is dead, but when an effort is be-
ng made to galvanize its worst
into life by holding up an
dvocatc of the obnoxious doc
rine of State rights as a proper
IAN for President we consider it
ur duty to expose the scheme and
enounce its leaders.
Republicans and Democrats
oined hands in 1861 to put down
his doctrine. Side by side thous- 1
nds sleep on Southern soil, and I
heir silent graves attest the sac I
flee they paid to crush out its G
retensiOns forever. Shall it be
,vived? Shall the soldier who
lved the nation be thrown aside
II the man who favored its disso- :
ltion? No. November will find :

NEPOTISM.

| General Grant has been arraigned
by Sumner and other disappointed
Liberalites as "the greatest nepotist
of the age" To show how ground
less the charge is we give an au-
thcnticated list of all the relatives
of the President or his wife now
holding Office under the Govern
mont:
Frederick Grant, Lieutenant U. s.
Army.
+. T. Dent, Drigadicr General, u.
S. Army.
jessie II. Grant, Postmaster. Cow
in9ton, Ky.
NJ. J. Cramer, Minister to Dem
mark.
Orlando ii. Ross, clerk Third
Auditors Office.
George w. Dent, Appraiser at
San Francisco.
James f. Casey, Collector ut New
Orleans.
Peter Casey, Postmaster at Vicks-
burg.
Geo. B. johnson, Assessor Sd dis
trlct of Ohio.
Alexander Sharp, Marshal Dis
trict of Columbia.
Silas Hudson, Minister to Gaute-
mala.
Frederick Grant, the Presidents
son, was a student at West Point
long before his father became Pres
ident. General Dent is the Presi-
dents brother-in-law, n graduate of
West Point, and has ever since
held a commission in the army.
Grant himself graduated from West
Point. With these two officials
General Grant has nothing more to
do than he has with Sherman or
Sheridan. Jessie r. Grant, the
Presidents father, was appointed
by Andrew johnson to the office he
now holds. NJ. j. Cramer, is a
brOther-in-law; was appointed to
Leipsic by johnson, and transferred
to Denmark on the recommends
ton of Bishop Simpson, Bishop
ayne, and others. Orlando IL.
Ross, the Presidents cousin, was
appointed by the Secretary of the
Treasury to q clerkship through the
influence of Senator Logan. The
President knew nothing of the APP
pointment until after it was made.
George w. Dent is q brother of
Mrs. Grant, and James F. Casey her
brother-in-law. Peter Casey is very
far removed, being the brother of
the brother-in-law of Mrs. Grant.
George b. johnson is also very
distant relative, having married g
third cousin of the President. Both
these gentlemen were appointed on
the recommendations of tho Repre-
sentAtives and Senators from the
States and districts in which the
appointecs live, and the President
had nothing more directly to do
with them than to concur IN the
recommendations. Alexander Sharp
is a relative of Mira. Grant, aud
Silas Hudson is cousin of the
President.
This is, truthful statement OF
General Grants nepotism. The
Sheriff of somo counties We could
name has a larger list of relatives
in Office. When We take into con-
sideration the fact that most OF
these appointments were made by
tho heads of departments, and some
did not even require the approval
of the President, we can sec IN its
true light the foolishness of the
charge against General Grant. Out
of sixty-thrce thousand Offices, the
President has nine civil appoint
ments claiming relationship to him.
Here is ''nepOtism" with q VEN
geancel We trust our friends will
carry this authentic statement in
their pockets, and show it OCCASION
ally to those Liberal gentlemen who
are trying to make capital out OF
gossip and slander.

The STRAY MULE.-At meeting
in q frontier western settlement
several present were stoutly oppos-
ed to the organization of a Sunday
school. Not being able to agree the
meeting was breaking up, when the
chairman said he had a very import
ant notice to read to them. Quiet
was soon restored to hear this rath-
er novel religious notice"
''Strayed-A large black mule.
He had on q halter when he left,
and is branded on the left hip with
the letter S. Any one returning
said mule will be literally reward
ed"
The keen Sunday-school Union
missionary quickly announced. that
he also had very important notice
to give out.
"Strayed, q number of boys from
their homes, near this place, this,
Sunday morning. They had guns
and fishing poles on their shoulders
when they left. They were brand
ed, by a holy God, as Sabbath break
ers- ANY one returning said boys,
and placing them in Sunday school,
will be literally rewarded at the
day of Judgement"
The tact of that missionary car
ried the vote in favor of a Sunday
school, and those stray boys were
duly returned" to il.

THE DOMESTIC TELEGRAPH.

Il Not many evenings ago, an intel
ligent, gentlcmanly-lO looking indi
vidual, presented himself at ou
door and asked, "if we didn't wan
the district telegraph put into oul
house" At the same time he hand
ed over for our inspection very
pretty little instrument, composed
of cogwheels and somewhat reseui.
| bling clock. 1--WE attach the III.
strument to the wall" he said, Gin
some convenient position in your
house, and to II we connect wire
leading to your roof, where it unites
with another wire leading to one OF
our district offices on Broadway"
| Pointing to IA small knob he contin-
ued: ''If fire breaks out in your
house, you just push that lever, and
in three minutes the firemen will be
here. If thieves break in you move
that other lever, and in three min
utes the policeman will make his
appearance. II you want special
messenger to go upon any sort of
business, night or day, you just turn
this little button, and in three min
utes the man will be at your door
ready for service. The signals you
thus make are all received and re-
corded at our Broadway Office,
where we keep a force of attendants
in readiness at all hours to execute
the requirements of our customers.
Your wife or any other intelligent
person can make the signals, We
make no charge for putting the in
strument in your house or for keep
"a g., hUrk
$3.50 per month for its use, and
fifteen cents an hour for the time
occupied by our messenger in doing
your business. When you go away
to the country in summer, you can
haye an attachment put on, so fixed
that if burglars attempt to break in,
an alarm will be sounded at our
Office, when our police will quickly
the house and catch the |
thief in the act"
We rather liked the idea of hav-
ing such a telegraph in the house,
gave the order and it was promptly
put in.
In the course of a week or so af- |
thinks we to ourselves, |
that is our wife and we, "let us try |
our telegraph just for fun, and see |
whether the telegraph folks are as
wide awake as they pretended, or |
whether they are mapping" This
was early in the morning, just be-
tween the getting up time and
breakfast-before business begins
the hour when night hands go home
and day hands have not come-the
time when the manager is probably
not on hand. Now let's see what
this new-fangled telegraph is good
for. So we pressed the knob, and
there followed slight click and
buzz. We looked at our watch,
went down stairs, took seats at the
breakfast table, when we were start
ed by a ring at the door bell.
Messenger from the District Tele-
graph Office. Got your signal.
Wants to know what's wanted"
was the report that came to us.
Looking at the watch we found that
ust two and half minutes had
elapsed since we gave the signal.
We felt q little bit shecpish in being
obliged to tell the messenger that
We had sent for him, ''just for fun,
% see If he was really awake" etc,
md we were entirely satisfied on
hat point, he retired, sorry that we
lad no real business for him to do.

SAM WOODS SPEECH AT LAWRENCE
The following we quote from the
Lawrence journal:

The following we quote from the
Lawrence Journal:
The country was saved again
last night, the preservative process
being performed by Colonel Sam
Wood, and the place of rescue be-
ing the court house.
The night was dark and cloudy,
and the audience was not large,
but deeply solemn. Few funerals
could lead it for a good solid arti-
Gle of detection. Col. Wood is
well known in this State, having
arrived here in the early part OF
the present century, and since that
period there have been very few
pies cooked in which he has not
inserted one or more fingers.
Col. Wood has had much prac-
tice as a speaker, practicing usu-
ally frem two hours to two days
at time, without food, sleep or
water. His voice is, if possible,
worse than Clarke's. He com
mences his sentences in a moder-
ate tone, and ends them in loud,
hollow voice, as if he had sudden
" stuck his head into an empty
barrel. There is no sound in ma
turc comparable to it except the
voice of the sea lion in Barnum's
show. The effects of this species
Of melody on n small audience in a
dimly lighted room on a rainy
night, may well be imagined. AS
We have said, the melancholy
which reigned was profound.
The matter of the speech was
but little better than the manner.
The speaker began On the princi
pie of the Dutchman, who took 4
start of three miles to jump over
u hill. He commenced with the
formation of the old Wing and
Democratic parties, and infinitely
explained all about their doctrines
and so advanced in very leisure
ly way till he reached our time
and struck Col. VIM. A. Phillips.
He proceeded to shake Col. Phil
lips name and fame as a pup docs
an old boot, and then, after con-
densing some more ancient histo-
ry, picked up the regular Demo
cratic State convention, better
known as Mr.. William H. Peck
ham, and did a good deal of heavy
sea lion business. Then came an
other volume of political remin-
iscences, and he took John Speer.
After churning that gentleman
about fifteen minutes, he reviewed
the career of Senator Pomeroy.
On this truly fragrant subject he
spent few happy moments. and
let the vivid lightning play around
the bald scalp of our truly good
Senator with amazing effect. He
closed with a brief description of
the. nature and habits of Clarke
and Cobb. He said they were just |
alike, but he applied the curry
comb more particularly to the
CALLED places on the sides of Cobb.
He ended his speech with Cobb.
After Wood had thus seasoned
himself, q Mr.. Taylor, of johnson
county, attacked the feeble rem
nant of the audience, but we learn
ed no particulars of the oratorical
outrage. A few gentlemen, who
were nervous and could not sleep
for the talking, thumped the floor
with their umbrellas in a rather
desultory and irregular manner.
No levity of any sort was allowed.
This meeting, we are free to
say, was the worst yet, and we
cannot see any use in our having
crushed out the unholy rebellion
if this sort of thing is to be en-
dured by free people.

WHERE AN ADVENTURES STOOD
TO HAVE HER PICTURE TAKEN.-A
very daring feat was performed yes
terday on Lookout Mountain by a
young lady from Nashville. It is
customary for all strangers visiting
the height to have their photographs
taken at the gallery situated on the
point" or extreme verge of the
mountain overlooking the Tonnes
see river. Timid persons are gem
orally content with a position rang
ing from three to four feet from the
edge OF the precipice which iuts out
above the trees several hundred
feet below The young lady IN ques-
ton was not satisfied with the com.
mon custom, but with the assistance
OF the photographer and a friend
climbed over the verge and stood
on the projecting fragment of 8
rock only six inches square, within
q few feet Of the top of the bluff,
and looked calmly down from the
gfddy height until her picture was
taken. One jostle or mis-step and
she would have gone down through
the trce-tops and into the valley
below. No other lady has ever at
tempted the feat and probably never
