NUMBER 26

Seward was in Lincoln's days. No
negro can vote for Greeley who
values his life or property or cares
for his race. If, by a frown OF
Providence he is elected, I shall
advise every Southern loyalits to
load the revolyers that Grants ar
rest of North Carolina Ku-Klux
has allowed to be laid aside. Ii
he is elected. let the negroes live
in squads of fifty, whom no coward
will dare shoot down, and show no
property at sunset. Lonely men
will be shot at and no black will
own mule for forty-eight hours
if any rebel knows the fact.
AS for Adams, / do not fear him
an aristocrat by birth and a
Democrat from perYersenes-the
love of money makes such a union
possible. He is a Democrat, but
afraid to confess his creed, or to
wear its uniform. If any party
allows him to lead it. he will lead
it to the grave, as all the AdaRses
have always done. Old John
Adams vanity and hate of Hamil-
ton put the Federal party into
to its tomb. John Quincy Adams
Administration was the death blow
of the Wing party, then called Re
publicans. The light which gilds
the Adamses is that of sunset.
They insure defeat. Chatham
said Sir William Young's voice
was the death knell of his country.
The breath of an Adams fame has
the chill of the charnel-house
in it. Let them nurse their money
bags like timid misers, and allow
holder and more unselfish men,
whose foreheads are lit by the ris-
ing sun, to help the world forward
uAdisturbed by their greedy ambi-
ton or their querulous crotchets.
For loyal Administration to
protect the negro, awe the rebel,
and give the working man
chance, Grants little finger is
worth a bakers dozen of Greeley's.
Yours. WENDELL PHILLIPS.

CONDEMNED BY THEIR OWN CANDi-
DATE.

From Charles Summer down tC
the street defamer of Gen. Grant
we recommend careful perusal
of the following from the New
York Tribune, the paper edited by
the mongrel candidate for Presi-
dent. The best endorsements on
record for Grant are from the
Tribune and Sun, two papers
which are now advocating ANY
thing to beat Grant" 1t is true,
as the Tribune says, that tho peo-
pie do not know Grants SANDER
ers. They look at the man and
what he has done for the country.
Read the following and see how it
goes down, We rampant anti-Grant
Republicans:
"Grant and his policy deserve
the very highest credit" -T Horace
Greeley.
"The people of the United
States know General Grant-have
known all about him since Doncl-
son and Vicksburg; they do not
know his slanderers, and dc not
care to know them. - Horace
Greeley.
"While asserting the right of
every Republican to his untram-
meled choice of q candidate for
next President until q nomination
is made, / venture to suggest that
General Grant aciU be far better
qualified for that moRentouS trust
IN 1872 than he qras an 1868"
| Horace Greeley.
1--WE are led by him who first
taught our armies to conquer in
the West, and subsequently in the
East, also. Richmond would not
come to us until we sent Grant af-
ter it, and then it had to come.
He has neceg' get been defeated,
and neUer a0iU be. He will be as
successful on the field of politics
as on that of arms p Horace
Greeley.
Eyes; General Grant has failed
to crafty some eager aspirants,
and has thereby incurred some in
tense hatreds. These do not and
will not fail; and his administra-
ton will prove at least equally
vital. We shall hear lamentation
after lamentation from those achoSe
scish is father to the thought; but
the American people let them pass
unheeded. Their strong arms
bore him triumphantly through
the war and into the White House,
and they still uphold and sustain
him. They never failed, and new
err will. - Horace Greeley.

Horace Greeley wrote in the
Tribune, not 50 long ago that the
passage has gone out of mems
memories: 1.-The people OF. the
United States know General Grant
have known all about him since
Donaldson and Vicksburg; they
do not know his slanderers and do
not care to know them7'

Shad were neyer-at least dur
ing late years-so plentiful in the
Connecticut river as during the
present season. This is owing
without doubt to the artificial
stocking of that river with young
fry three years ago. At the same
time it is noticed that the rivers Of
Pennsylvania, the Susquekanna,
and the Delaware are almost with
ont shad. The Pennsylvanians
now regret that the act of their
Legislature of last year providing
for the stocking of these rivers
failed to become q law by the
want of the Governors signature.

STATISTICS OF THE PINE TREE
STATE.-The Boston Transcript
publishes the following statistics:
The whole area of Maine is about
10000 miles, of which the great
primeval northern forest contains
about 10000 square miles. It is
largely composed of tall pines.
There are about 1880 lakes in the
State, covering nearly 3, 900 square
miles. Nearly all these lakes lie
at the head of the rivers which
run to the sea, and their great
altitude gives to their descending
waters an immense power. Range
| II Lake is 1000 feet, and Lakes
lUmbagog and Moosehead are each
over ], 900 feet above the level of the
sea, and the whole surface of the
i State is on an average, 600 feet in
elevation, so that the water of the
lakes and rivers must fall that dis
tance. It is estimated that the
total water power of the State is
| equal to the combined working
energy of $4,000 men, laborine

BOARDING HOUSES.

For the first time we learned that
the city of EmpO-ia is collecting
rent from the Normal students for
the use of the two old dilapidated
boarding houses connected with
the school. This Is all wrong. A
nominal rent should be charged for
the rooms furnished to students
and the proceeds applied to repair
ing the buildings which need paint
whitewash, cisterns, sc. Miss
Brewer submitted to the Board a
its recent meeting plan of personal
supervision of the Boarding house
providing for a common table fol
the occupants, both ladies and gen
tlemen, and cheap fixed rate fol
board instead of the present detest
able cold-victual regime 'of sci

Maryland Railroad

The Baltimore Gazette says: eve learn
from undoubted authority that sixteen
miles of this road is already graded, and
that the engineers have reached the Balti-
more and Potomac Road with their line.
The company confidently expect to have
their road open from this point and run
ming as far as Leonardtown by the LIST OF
January next, and by April or May, 1878,
to complete the line to their station on St.
Mary's river, where they intend to estab-
lish great coal depot.
''The company will push their work
from the Baltimore and Potomac Road
to Washington without loss of time, and
by their connections at that point will have
short and direct access to the vast coal
fields of Cumberland and Pennsylvania
A glance at the map will show the great
geographical advantages of the location on
ST. Mary's river of great distributive coal
depot to all parts of the world. 1t is situat-
ed about midway on the line of our coast
is open to the sea by broad and deep and
short navigation-St. Mary's river being a
harbor perfectly land-locked, extensive
enough, and with sufficient water to ride
the natives of the world. Whether from
climatic causes, or because of the sadness
of the water, it never freezes. In view OF
the recent events in England touching the
coal interests, this enterprise of the South
ern Maryland Railroad becomes invested
with more than usual Importance, and the
day is not distant when the attention OF
those Immediately connected with the
various industries in England will be call

West Virginia Election.

The Clarksburg San, in referring to the
result of the late election in West Virginia.
says:
Enough is known to congratulate the
Democracy on its success. The Constitu-
ton is CARED by at least $500 majority.
This is triumph worthy the stern efforts
of the Democracy of West Virginia. Every
shaft of the enemy was aimed at its defeat;
every device that Ingenuity could devise.
Men lent their personal popularity to the
opposition; but all failed. The Comstitw-
ton securing popular rights and guaranteeing
personal liberty is adopted-is now the fun
damental law of the land. In the ratifca-
ton of the Constitution the Democratic
party have in one particular aspect achiev-
ed an important triumph. We have secur-
ed an able and incorruptible Court of APP
peals. This court has been the strong for
tress, the entrenched position of the Radical
party of this State from its organization to
the present time"

Important to Straight-Outs.

D. G. Bush, ESQ.,, one of the leading
Democrats of Cont county, Penn, having
been invited to attend the Straight-out
Convention at Louisville, declines the hon
or, and replies to the gentleman rendering
the invation in the following manner:
"No person outside of a lunatic asylum
can imagine that the nominees of the Lou
isville Convention could, by any possibili-
ty, be elected. The only object, there
fore, in holding that convention is to dis
tract our party, direct votes from Greeley,
and thereby directly assist in the re-elec-
ton of Grant. But two classes of men will
take part in such a programme one
natural fanatics adhering to our party, who
are always dissatisfied with what the ma
.jority does; the other, class of corrupt
BILE men who are being purchased by the
money Stolen by Grants administration
from the people. I therefore think you
are mistaken in saying the honor of no
Democrat can be assailed for participating
in such a national assemblage.' see no
particular objection in you gentlemen pro-
testing against the shameful abandonment
of principles'a 'disgraceful abandonment
of political honor which Judge Black,
Judge Woodward, Charles R. Buckalew,
Hester Clymer, and more than three hun
dred thousand other Pennsylvania Demo-
Gratis fail to protest against, especially if
the radical State central committee, Simon
Cameron, and Grants administration are
willing to pay the cost of the protest In
conclusion, you ask me to furnish you with
the address of gentlemen who will go from
this congressional district as delegates to
Louisville, so that transportation can be
furnished to and from the convention.
It would probably have thrown some light
upon the question in whose interest is the
Louisville convention to be held, ifyou
would state who is tSsfurnish this trans
portation. Are the different railroads MAX
ing an exception in favor of this conven-
ton, and giving free transportations Is
this transportation paid for out of this
immense corruption fund, said to be count
ed by millions, which has been placed un-
der the control of Simon Cameron and his
rings to carry Pennsylvania and perpetu-
ate his power in this State? You, gentle
men, not being sufficiently explicit upon

The Louisville Side Show.

The Baltimore Gazette of Wednesday
says:
The Straight-outs opened their side show
at Louisville yesterday, Blanton Duncan
leading the way, arranged what Artemus
Ward would have called the ''fggers," and
after airing his vocabulary, modestly re-
signed his functions. After the show was
organized, Mr.. James Lyons, of Richmond
was made permanent president. We care
nothing for what he said, and we care as
little for what 'the iggers" will do, know
ing well that they are acting in the inter
est of Grant; that Grant officials have sup
piled them with transportation and equip
ment, that Morton, near by, is pulling the
wires, and that the speaking automatons
have been duly wound up to talk about
true Democracy. But the ''fggers" are
evidently weak in the underpinning, as a
suggestion was thrown out that they would
be all the better if they were sustained by
the brawny arms of the Labor Reformers.
Seriously, however, the only matter of
Importance reported thus far, is the letter
of Mr.. O'Conor, which might very proper
ly bear the title of An Essay on Good Gov
eminent. 1t is review of the principles
on which our Government was founded; a
defence of the Democracy as conservators
of those principles; reputation of the
Baltimore nomination of Mr. Greeley, and
as choice between Greeley and Grant Mr..
O'Conor evidently perfers Grant. In the
old Roman days, and in licentious age,
there was no severer moralist than Cato,
and if his craftsmanship had been equal to
his frmness and his virtue, the Republic
Il, L, i - II
ty, have fallen beneath the sword of Caesar.
If history be philosophy, teaching by ex-
amples is not here lesson by which Mr..
O'Conor might profit? He wisely, however,
declines to allow his name to be put in
nomination by the Duncanites, and whilst
sympathizing with the movement, tells
them that Success should, ofcourse, be an
object" which, if taken literally, can only
mean that the side show at Louisville has
no reason to be, if it has no prospect of
carrying its candidates on the basis of the
principles he has enunciated. In this, at
least, we perfectly agree with him.

The Postoaice DEPARTMENT

Has recently made the following deci-
.sions. A letter to be forwarded in the
