Nothing in the political world for some
years has SO startled politicians, both for
and against, as the effect of the Greeley and
Brown nominations. The people were the
first to recognize the necessity for the nom.
nation of men whose names would be
guarantee of honesty in the administration.
The grumblings at the populations Of Off
cial appointees of the present Executive were
confined to no party. Honest men of all
parties looked with disgust at the perloin-
ings of officials, as well as the retention of
these in office whose peculating propensities
we're known. The appointment of men, no.
!orious for want of principle, to prominent
positions was an additional evidence that
honesty and economy were not the trump
cards Of the present administration. Fur
Their than this the effort to keep down one
section of the country, even by a resort to
the bayonet, for the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of a
few political partizans, and the bounding of
the innocent citizens of that section by the
military minions Of a would be despot, did
not have soothing effect upon the rejecting
men of either the Republican Or Democratic
elements of the North. The South once
firmly under the heel of Ulysses Grant, they
felt that the next step would be the "tramp-
ing" out of the liberty and prosperity of the
North, for the benefit Of our peripatetic
President, whose children are now being in
Quoted in the manners and habits Of the
scions of royalty on the eastern side Of the
Atlantic. This had long been hurled into
their ears by southern speakers and writer's,
and, when realized, began to spread until it
has resulted in a grand oblivion Of party,
for an equally grand object, the preserva-
ton of the liberty Of the people, the prosper
ity of the country, honesty and economy in
expenditures, and, as consequence, less
onerous general taxation.
1t is these combined reasons, with others,
perhaps equally potent, which has forced,
at the hands of the politicians, the nomina-
ton Of Greeley and Brown, and produced,
with startling effect, the union Of men, Of
totally different sentiments, in support of
them, with an enthusiasm unequalled since
the campaign Of 1910.
With such an object in view, who can
hesitate in choice of Greeley over Grant p
Surely none, whose prejudices do not over
come their reason, OR whose lealty to party,
perhaps purchased with an office, Or its
promise, is the all absorbing thought.
If there were chance for the election of
an honest Democrat, opposition to Greeley
would be reasonable, but with Greeley or
Grant as the choice, and the only choice,
those who want a return to honesty, econo-
my and purity in the Government, can not
fail to vote for Greeley, for such failing to
vote for him is the equivalent of votin g for
Grant, and the continuance of all the pecula-
ton, enormities, and prosecutions which have
so characterized Grants administration
''Let us have peace" and prosperity, not
oaly North but South This is the plat
form of old Horace Greeley. Let US all
give him cordial support and strike a tel
ling blow not only for the oppressed people
of the South, but for our entire country.

Ex-Mayor Bowen, of Washington, is out
in letter, in which he charges President
Grant with cheating him out of $25, 200
with the GOODNESS and deliberation that
would do credit to any blackleg." Whether
the blacklegs feel complimented we leave
them to judge. Bowen was Radical Mayor
of Washington and the bosom friend Of
Grant, until Grant feeced him of S25, 0GO,
as he says, and to verify it he has brought
suit in Washington Courts. Bowen says
Grant is misery. sordid individual and
will do any thing, that an honorable person
would despise, to put money in his pocket.
As to this and his farming out official posi-
tons we leave for Bowen and Grant to light
out, but the old maxim readily occurs to all,
when they read the above, that "when
rogues fall out honest men get their dues"
We shall wait the developments Of the
Courts, but to be doubly sure, we shall vote
against Grant, since even his own household
proclaim him an unfit man, as we firmly
believe be is, after four years. trial.

The AGRICULTURAL BUREAU-JULY Re.
PORT Washington, July 25.-The July
report of the Agricultural bureau is now
ready. The reports of the corn crops rep.
resent 9S9 counties, including an area usu-
ally producing 700,000,0O0 annually, and
indicate an increase of per cent This is
equivalent to more than three fourths of a
million of acres, and the total area in this
great crop of the country, which nearly
equals in extent the aggregate of all other
titled crops together, is probably about
100000 acres
Of the reports from the 989 counties, 1858
place the condition Of the crop at above 100,
and 413 at below 100 The report from
Virginia places the condition Of the crop at
"a, being six below the average.
An improvement in the condition of
wheat is reported from New York, Mary
land, Virginia, Michigan, Kansas, and to
slight degree in some other States while
small decline is reported in Ohio and some
of the Southern States.
The quality of the Southern wheat will
probably prove as 6ne as any ever produced
in that section. In threshing the fullness Of
the bead, in proportion to the quantity of
straw, causes the yield to exceed expectation,
and may 60 far to Offset the small decrease
in the reported condition. 1t is quite prob
able that the general excellence of the grain
will make the present crop Of equal value to
that of last year. There has been an al
most entire exemption from rust and COM
paratively little complaint of insects.
