GEN. GRANT AND HIS AssAILANTs


Both Sumner and Schurz, and their allies.
have made fierce attacks upon the admins
trationr adorning their attacks with wreaths
o. rhetoric and chanting hymns Of presumed
victory. Their attacks have however, been
the sham fights of the theatre. The tin
crown of .SumRer that glittered in the gas
light, and the guided pasteboard spear Of
Schurz have dazzled in the play, and now
rest IN The lumber room nothing but tin
guiding and pasteboard. In every attack
the President has come out vindicated. SEN
atar Carpenter, the most learned in the law
and the most eloquent and able in statesmen
shin. has raised his voice in vindication Of
law and in defence OF an administration
most uaiustly assailed. Ia every description
L4 has drawn fine eul0gies from his friends
and reluctant praise from his enemies
Fearlessly, and with logic equal to Web
ster's. he has tornin sunder malignant bills
of indictment preferred by ungenerous and
MALIGNANT aceuser of the administrations
Hisahle debate upon the arms question, has
brought no reply. Under the claymore
strokes Of his impassioned logic, the huge
souadrons of fiction set up by his industrious
ornaments have gone down. The accusers
are dumb, and by silence, invokes a verdict
of the people against themselves. Other
Senators have come to the work nobiy, and
now after cleaning away the rubbish of
conflict Gen. Grant stands FORTH serene un-
daunted as on the field of battle, without a
suspicion of corruption clinging to his gar
ments Amidst all the noise and clamor of
demagogues seeking to pull him down be
has uttered no word Memory has stood
beside him pointing to the record of his sue
cessful devotion to his country upon many
battle fields, and calling the attention of the
people to the political and financial well be-
ing Of the nation over whose interest and
honor be has stood guardian. The people
will stand by Gen Grant Not all the meta
physical statesmanship of Schurz, not all the
rhetorical tLunders of Sumner, not all the
tanatical rawlings of Upton, not all the cool
fish logic oc Trumbull, can seduce the peo
pie from their adherapee to a man whose
wisdom is demonstrated by his acts. and
whose defence is contained in the continued
and continuing prosperity of our country
Virtu, heeds not the clamors of malice. An
honest mans best defence is his deeds

ONION CULTURE.-A patron who does
not wish his name to appear, asks us why
his land will not grow good onions. This
his land has been titled for several years,
and will grow any other crop put upon it ;
but that for two years he has plowed deeply
and thoroughly his land-which is river
alluyium-sowed good seed, that came up
we'll, gaze it good cultivation, but that
three fourths Of his crop are "scullions
and wholly worthless, and that his neigh
bors tell him the ground is too rich. E
We do not believe that river alluvium
that has been cropped several years is too
rich for onions. The whole difficulty hes
in the fact that you have plowed yonr land
too deeply, Immediately before sowing the
seed. Land is best fitted for onions where
manure is applied, by plowing in the fall,
leaving it till early spring, and then only
cultivate with harrow or cultivator, and
not more than four inches deep, and many
deem three inches better. If the ground
is soft and porous to greater depth than
this, the roots will strike deep down, and
be sure to produce the vegetable monstrosi-
ty called scullions or "bull- -necks !" whilst
they are never produced on land with three
OF four inches of mellow surface soil resting
on firm bottom.-Rural Press.

ARENAS Ward was born a humorist-was
funny from, his cradle to bis grave. s
Once when aAschoof boy, he and a friend
got hold of pack of cards, and indulged
heavily in euchre. A Baptist minister was
stopping at the house, and to secrete the
cards they placed them in his black gown
horror to see theminister one day, in the river
baptizng his converts, presently the cards
commenced to float upon the water, the first
cards being couple of bowers and three
aces
Well, lie got walloped for this, and his
aunt pictured to him the humiliation of the
minister. Said she:
Il don t see bow he got out of it."
Artemas replied. II don't see how he
could help getting out on a hand like that" !"

'RECAPTURE OF A VILLAIN.
Thomas Camp, the Gibson County Muir.
derer Again in Irons.

From the Evansville Und9 Courier 2Oth.l
1t viii be remembered that among the
prisoners who broke out of the Prince
ton, Indiana, Jail last winter, Thomas
Camp, who had murdered John R. Bill
derback, near Fort Branch, Indiana,
also made his escape.
VIM. Bilderback, brother to the muir
dered man, has been constantly in pur-
suit of Camp ever since, most of the
time searching alone. Yesterday, as we
have been credibly informed, Mi. Bill
derback found Camp in the Greensboro,
Kentucky, jail, where he had been
placed for stealing a horse.
1t appears that Camp had changed his
name, calling himself VIM. Mickey
nolds; but Mr.. Bilderback went to the
jail, in company with the Judge OF the
court, and identified Camp, and made
him own to his name. He had the sat
isfaction of seeing Camp placed in irons
before he left, and, obtaining a promise
from the officers that he would be so
kept until a requisitiOn from. Governor
can be obtained to bring the
prisoner back to Princeton, Indiana,
where he viii be tried and probably
Condemned and executed for one of the
most atrociOus murders ever committed
