gan will 60 for Grant by the usual majo-
rityl At least, that's what the faithful
say, Of course for outside effect. But
behind the curtain the thing is different.
John J. Bagley, candidate for the nomi-
nation of Governor, came to this city to
urge Vioe-President Colfax to stump
Michigan for Grant and the regulars. ;
Why said Colfax, with evident sur
prise, you don't need any help in Michi-
gan, do you?' Yes, by G-ehosephat,
We do replied Bagley, we want all the
help we can get, and We shall need oil we
get, too. tell you"
A horrible charge is now laid at the
door OF the Democratic Convention,
which, it is expected, will arouse fury
OF opposition at its action. The stage
carpenter at the Opera House where the
Convention was held, and who arranged
the scenery. was Spangler, who was tried
Tor the murder Of Mr.. Lincoln. This
unfortunate man, it will be recollected,
served long term of imprisonment at the
Dry Tortugas for exhibiting N accom-
modating spirit in holding Booth 8
horse. the while entirely ignorant OF,
and entirely innocent of, any completely
in the plot.
The WatcAman and Reflector thinks it
is noteworthy fact, in these days of
personal abuse, that mp to this time no
one, friend or enemy, has accused Ho.
race Greeley OF dishonesty or immortality
OF any kind; but, on the contrary, all
parties unite in admitting his integrity,
fearless advocacy Of human rights, tenn.
perance. law and order, and his deep
seated desire to do good to all. Is not
such candidate an anomaly?"
1t is stated upon the authority of Col.
Ethan Allen, Chairman of the Liberal
Republican National Committee, that
Charles Sumner has consented to deliver
half dozen speeches in favor of Gree
ley and Brown in the Southern States.
1t begins to crop out that the carpet
baggers will not be able to carry the
oolored vote of the South for Grant 80
unanimously as they and their employer
expected. The intelligent negroes are
finding out that the "Union Leagues"
are leagues for the promotion of the self
ish interests of unsorupulous white
Radicals at their expense.
SOMEBODY TO VoTR FoR.-A Boston
colored man, OF Southern birth, writes
TO the Post:
SAT last the blacks of this broad land
have man to vote for whose record as
their friend and the friend of labor is
unimpeachable. God bless the day
when the great Democratic party nomi-
true to all-black and white alike-in
spite of opposition. Every mar of color
who values his manhood will vote for
Horace Greeley. Atall events, the world
may bet it's life that will"
The foolish New York Times is like
the Field Marshal, General Broum, of
the famous army Of the Grand Duchess
OF Gsrolstein. Whenever q messenger
arrived. or any other commotion arose
among the troops of that realm. although
the cause might be the most peaceful,
that great warrior drew his sword with
immonaeIaourish, and, shouting Fenneme,
rennen'e. prepared to plunge headlong
on the foe. So the Times, whenever it
hears the name OF Greeley or any OF his
supporters mentioned, shonts Tammany,
Tammany, and rushes at its imaginary
adversary.
Washington dates of the 9th instant
tell us that General Breckenridge, of
Kentucky, heard that the Department of
Justice was exhibiting unusual activity
in sending down such spies and inform
ers as Whitley to North Carolina, in
order to cause reign Of terror, and thus
carry the State election on the 1st day of
August next. On that date lie went to
the Department OF Justice and examined
the books to ascertain this increased ex-
penditure. for merely partisan purposes.
He found that, instead of the old sum of
$4,000. formerly appropriated to the
uses of the United States Marshal, they
had this year given L. T. Carrow $223,-
