The Canvass in southern Illinois

The reports of the campaign prospects IN
Southern Illinois are of the most encourag-
ing character, and indicate that that sec
ton of the State will roll up majority for
Greeley and KOerner, in November, az
abund ant as its harvests. On the 22d ult.,
an immense Liberal meeting was held at
Murphysboro, jackson County. The large
Court House was crowded, and hundreds
lad to remain outside. Governor Koerner,
who came down in special train filed with
Carbondale Liberals, made very effective
two hours speech, which was received with
the utmost enthusiasm, especially those
portions in which he reviewed Logan's
Cairo speech. The result of Koerner's
speech will be, that the home Of Logan will
give him a rebuke on eection-day he will
never forget. On the 24th ult., Governor
koerner also addressed an immense audi
ence at Highland, Madison County, com
posed mainly of Swiss aud Germans, with
telling effect, Colorel J. l.. D. Morrison,
who has thrown himself into the campaign
with irresistible energy, also spoke on the
same evening,-the two speakers leaving
but few unconverted GRANTEES when they
had concluded. This Congressional Dis
trics, the Seventeenth, promises TO give
$500 majority in November. From all
parts Of Southern Illinois come the same
encouraging reports, showing that the peo-
pie are wide awake and thoroughly in inter
est. The people there are working people,
and, when the harvest is over, they vii! not
only get ready to vote for Greeley and
Koerner, but to work for them, lAlong the
line from Cairo to Springfield. Governor
Koerner, Colonel J. l.. D. Morrison, Hon
VIM. b. Morrison, Judge Cation, Hon. J. c.
Allan, Hon. J. c. Robinson, Governor
Palmer, and General Black all have ap-
pointments in that section, and the most of
these are already on the ground and hard
at work. If the Liberal Republicans and
Democrats of n orthern Illinois go into the
campaign with half the energy and deter
mination of their Southern brethren, Illinois
will give rousing majority against the
Grant ticket in November. The farmers of
Southern Illinois are up and doing and
mean business, and in November will send
in their TALES. corn, and the tallest MAORI
ties Egypt has ever yet produced Chicago

Transporting RObesOn's Horses at the Peo-
pies Expense.
From the New York Sun.


The United States steamer Tallspoosa
has just been employed by Robson, the
jolly and dishonest secretary of the navy,
to transport his horses and carriage to Ports
mouth. n. H., near which place he is repos-
ing from his official labors in paying frsudu-
lent claims.
The TallApoosa is public vessel belong
ing to the people, aud her expenses are paid
by the treasury of the United States; bat
Robson used her for his own private graft
fcation and convenience.
The time required to make q voyage
from Washington to Portsmouth is about
four days. The Tallapoosa on this occa-
sion stopped at New York, 10 order that
Secretary Robesou's horses might be taken
on shore at the navy yard and driven
around sufficiently to timber them after
the confinement Of the voyage from
Washington. 1hsy we're taken on board
again, and the vessel continued upon her
mission.
The cost to the people of the United
States of transporting Robeson's horses and
carriage from Washington to his summer
watering place is about two thousand dol
lars.
If the people like this sort of thing and
wish to have it kept up, they will vote for
/ I. S. Grant. If not, not.
