Y The Olathe Mirror Just leaks brine all over,
because GRANT dismissed soldier, Col. R. B.
MITCHELL, and follower of ANDY JOHNSON, from
office, and appointed in his place an ex-rebel OIL
Ger. For the sake of consistency, the Mirror is
yelling in chorus with all the ex-rebels in the
country, in opposition to the soldier who closed
out the rebellion. The loss of that little Office
hurts!

CARL SCHURz on HORACE GREELEY.-The re-
cord Of the convention will not be complete
without recounting what transpiretl during a con-
sultation of the Missouri delegation. At the close
of the first ballot and before the result was an
nonnced, the delegation from that State asked
and obtained leave to retire. Among the other
members Carl Schurz went, the chair being filed
during his absence by Mr.. Geo. W. Julian, Of In
diana. When reporter found his way into the
midst of the delegation, Mr.. Schurz was giving
the members his opinion of Mr.. Greeley. He said
MI. Greeley was tho weakest candidate the con-
vention could nominate. The speaker had known
hiEi for fifteen years, and while he respected him,
it was true, nevertheless, that he was not the
man, with his habits and lack Of administrative
ability, to receive the highest nomination. More
over, he was weak man among the Germans of
Ohio and Illinois, and no one who could not Sc
cure their sufrages could be elected to the chief
office in the nation. Mr.. Schurz was very much
in earnest when he was speaking, evidently fore
seeing the mistakes the Convention was likely to
make. 1t was noticeable fact that in his clo-
sing address he uttered no word of commeDda-
tion Of either ticket or platform. Probably he
did not feel that the statesman he had called for
in his address on Friday had been nominated, and
that the Convention had not been % free from
the tricks Of politicians as he had fondly hoped

How 1T is TO BE DoNE.-GREELEY's supporters
have got it figured out how and why he is going
to get the votes of pretty much everybody in the
United States. As they seem to be perfectly con.
fdent that their calculations are correct, there
can be no harm letting it be known. This is the
arrangement:
GREELEYs grandfather was an Irishman; there
fore, all the Irish will support him.
GREELEY himself was born in New England,
which insures him q solid vote in the New Eng
land States.
His wife, befofe their marriage, was a school
marin in the South, which, in connection with
the fact that he bailed JEFF DAVIS, gives him the
"dead wood" ON the South.
He is a resident of New York, and his parents
spent their last days in Pennsylvania, which set
ties the thing in those State$
His advice to everybody to ego West and buy
land," insures him a united support in the West.
His daughter was educated in convent, which
fixes the Catholic vote for him.
And the Germans will vote for him to q man,
because CARL SCHURz says they must.
If any additional help is needed, he has still
grandfather and two grandmothers in reserve, to
say nothing of his wifes ancestors. 1t is hard to
beat man who holds such hand as that

SIGNS AND OMENs.-SOme enthusiastic Liberal,
on the lookout for propitious omens, has discoy-
cred that the initials of GREELEY aud Brown,
G. b. stand for "GRANr Beat" Now, there are
a good many other things those initials may stand
for, and possess fully as much Significance. Just
look at this-they may stand for any or all of
these things:
Gas Bags, Great Bubble, Got it Bad, Gels Bucks,
Gone Below, Goose Bladders, Grand Bow-up, Gall
Busters, Cab Bluster, Gobbled Badly, Gone Back,
Ginger Beer, Grant Beslimers, Greedy Bummers
Gripping Bowels Graham Bread, Gum Boil, Griu
and Bear it, Got Bit, Good Bye, Getting Blue,
Go Between, Going Bail, Growing Behind, Grief
Beside, Gloom Beyond, Called Backsides.
Then, for luck, you might reverse the initials,
and string out another list of words of equally
significant import, such as Behind Grant, Badly
Gulled, Belmont's Game, Beer Guzzlers, Boiled
Goose, Bloody Garroters, Bedbug's Glory, Ballot
box Grabbers, Bill Grosvenor.
But We desist. There never was such an extra
ordinary ticket in the field. There is no end of
the wonderful things it signifies.

q GREELEY says he hopes the day will come
when the people of the North will regard with
pride the splendid military achievements Of Rob-
ERr E. LEE. The day has come when the people
of the United States delight to honor the man
who Penned up, cleaned out, and captured that
brilliant rebel military genius, and who proposes
soon to move upon the works of the canting eulo-
gist of LEE and SroNEwALI. JACKSON. That
mans name is GRANT.

From the Springfield Republican, May -
As Ii Looks ,EO~Day.

1t is now plain enough that there is to
be an earnest and more or less persistent
and rcsOlute attempt to change the issue
in this years contest. There are good
many republicans who do not want to
vote for Gen. Grant; there are a good
many liberals, and a still greater num-
Der Of democrats, who do not relish the
idea of voting for Mr. Greeley. The
field as now made up is not satisfactory,
and in both our political Israels there is
noticeable amount of sulking and con-
sulting in the tents.
This discomfort with the actual situa-
ton, this desire for something better. is
not confined to the politicians. 1t is
widely shared by the voters. 1t is
bound to make itself felt at the a3-
proaching conventions. 1t may moi
come to the surface at PhiladtIphia.
But it will be there. all the same 1t
will find expression in the preliminary
caucusings and canyassingS and bedroom
conferences, if it is dumb upon the con
yentiOn floor. There are many reDubli-
cans of position and influence within the
party organization who dislike General
Grant and deprecate his denomination
who only need to see a reasonable pros
pcct of success, to urge and compel his
withdrawal and the substitution of Mr.
Colfax On the other hand, the anti
Greeley mOvent is evidently gaining
Roadway and momentum. The free
trade brethren feel their political home
lessness and Orphanage acutely, and re-
sent the hOmilies of those disinterested
counsclors who would have them dis
play a Christian resignation. In their
oil fCr. tho Now N1Tly
deed refrain from any formal declara-
ton of war against the Cincinnati ticket,
But that they are belligerently dispSsed
is evident to every intelligent observer.
They have been counting noses, and the
result has encouraged and emboldened
them. The New York EUenj310 Post
has now committed itself so thoroughly
against Mr.. Greeley that it cannot well
recede. It tells us Carl Schurz is in the
same boat. 1t says it has ''the best posi-
bic reasons" for asserting that the great
Missouri Senator will not support the
Cincinnati ticket. It's democratic allies.
such papers as the New York W0rZd and
the Chicago Times, such politicians as
Voorhees, and Kerr and Randolph. are
of late nearly or quite as outspolxen
After what they have said, 1t is hard to
see how they can come around to the
support Of Mr.. Greeley; certainly, their
would have little moral weight
or political value Now the anti-Gree-
ley movement means Charles Francis
it cannot mean any one else.
There are people, -hoW many remains
to be seen, still believe his nomin-
alton and election possible notwithstand- /

will undoubtedly put in an appearance I
at Baltimore. 1t may not present itself I

We are gratified to assure your read
ers. that the services of our faithful
Principal Otis S. johnson, have been
secured for another academical year,
commencing with the fall term. This
places our school on a solid foundation
during the second year, Of its existence,
and renders It's continued prosperity an
assured fact. Since he took charge Of
the school he has labored necessarily to
build up its best and highest interests.
He is rigid disciplinarian and at the
same time honOred and beloved by his
pupils. He takes high moral ground in
all his instructions, and teaches them,
both by precept and examples to love
truth and honor. and reverence things
that are pure and lovely, and OF good
report.
For testimonials of his success a. a

of his pupils. wherever dispersed. 1t is
the aim of our committee to always
keep him ably seconded by competent
assistants.
Our village school made a noble adj
vance step in the way of progress dur
ing last week. Said ''step" being the
supplying the schools with splendid
globes and wall maps The globes are
the latest style, containing all the facil-
titles for every geographical and astrOno-
mical demonstration. The wall maps
are GuyOt's series, embracing nine large
maps with rollers for the grammar
school, and full set for each Of the
other school rooms. The maps for the
school cost upwards of eighty dollars.
and the whole expense of this acquisi-
ton to our school cost nearly two hun
dred dollars.
1t is the aim of our committee to fur
Their furnish the rooms with apparatus,
and during the vacation after this term,
to thoroughly repair the rooms and pat
the house in order for the fall term.
Our committee are thoroughly inter
estcd in the school, and viii spare no
pains to make this one Of the best insti-
tutions of learning in our State. The
citizens are also awake to the import
ance Of the school, and many OF our
best families are now ready TO open
their houses for the accommodation of
students. on terms that are reasonable.

This is the only question to be discussed
by candid men. That it is desirable is q
proposition that neither needs nor will
bear discussion. The substitution of
Adams and Colfax, as opposing candi-
dates, for Greeley and Grant, would at
once lift the canvass to a higher plane.
The offensive element of personalism
would be eliminated. What now threat
ems to be the most acrimonious political
struggle ever known in this country.
would be transformed into a rational
and temperate discussion of principles
and politics. Such a substitution would
clear the atmosphere of our politics :;
every voter would feel its wholesome
and bracing influence. Nowhere would
it be more jOyfully welcomed or its
meaning and promise more thoroughly
appreciated than here in New England
To the great mass of our Yankee people
democrats and republicans alike; it
would be at once a great relief and a
great stimulus to political exertion.
But there are the gravest reasons for
fearing that it will be found impracti-
cable. Gen. Grants Of1ice-hOlding and
ollicc-seeking friends have taken good
care of his and their interests The
southern democracy have gone to Mr.
Greeley with a whoop," and the Irish
democracy are quite as heartily and
noisily committed to his candidacy. AS
things now stand, it is hardly too much
to say that no new candidate can be
nominated at Philadelphia without Gen
Grants consent, nor at Baltimore with
out Mr.. Greeley's. When we speak of
Baltimore, we speak Of the democratic
convention. The free-tradcrs are, Of
course at liberty to convene and make
nominations. if they choose. That is
entirely within their right. Bat the
only practical effect of such action on
their part would be to make Grants re-
election certain, as they have already,
by their war upon Mr. Greeley, made it
emincntly probable, There are tluctua-
tons in all great political contests, and
This one certainly does not promise to be
an exception. The stock which is up to-
day, may be down tomorrow. But 50
far as present appearances go, the pros
poet for a change of tenants at the
White House next March can hardly be
described as encouraging.
