= There was nothing in his ap-
pearance or surroundings which indlca-
ted his official rank. His con-
versation was easy and fluent, without
the least effort or restraint. In this no
thug was so closely noticed by me as the
point and terseness with which he ex-
pressed whatever he said. He did not
seem either to court or to avoid conver-
sation, but whenever he Gid speak, what
he said was directly to the point, and
covered the whole matter IN a few words.

the result of this acquaintance with Gen

my mind that, taken all in all, he was
one of the most remarkabl men [ had
ever met with, and that his career in
life, if his days should be prolonged, was
hardly entered upon; that he him

THE CHRONICLE

has found something original in the
TRIBUNE, something it tried to answer
very originally in half column O. type
in its last issue, but wherein it, utterly
failed.
It is all right, brother Pierpont, per-
haps you do not know that you yourself
were the first grand cause of the County
Clerk initiating Judas The real
reason given for his treason is, that we
did not support him strongly enough ID
bis struggle against your own claims.
To this charge we can plead guilty only
in one instance, aud that is, when we
refused to publish as Original quite
ungentlemanly personal attack against
yourself handed to US by one of his
(then) friends. AS TIC claim to be able
to write personally whatever we deem
right and proper, we feel perfectly justi-
fed in what we then did, and as we shall
always do so long as the TRIBUNE is our
own. The other reason-the one which
the Chronicle, tries to substantiate-that
the County Clerk was bound by the
resolution of the County Board, annihi-
lates itself by the fact that the County
Clerk promised the County printing to
US. without saying it in so many words
however, shortly after his election, which
shows very plainly that the County Clerk
does not believe in being bound by that
resolution himself as far as the tax-list is
concerned.

,ocial Disnatcb to tbe Cincinnati Gazette

Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette.
Lexington, Kentucky. August 2nd.-
The democratic barbecue here to day was
fair success, and the favorable news
from North Carolina induced some OF
the democratic speakers TO let the cat
out of the bag. Hon. James R. Beck
declared positively that the democrats
Simply supported Greeley as a means oi
getting into power, and upon his elec-
ton a democratic congress would not
only prevent Greeley from doing harm,
but would compel him to acquiesce in
such measures as they deemed necessa-
ry.
Colonel Blackburn said, some persons
are declaring the democratic party dead.
It was not so. This election would make
it more powerful than ever. He coinci-
ded in Mr. Beck's idea as to why the
democracy supported Greeley.
General George B. Hodge capped the
climax by declaring that, Looking back
now upon what he once considered the
shattered and fruitless hopes of the
South, he saw that the equal rights anc
sovereignty of the States would be restor
ed, and that his comrades of the lost
cause have not died in vain, but this an
ticipated triumph would be the victory
fer which they fought These were hi
identical words. He Also said that the
letter of an acceptance of Horace Gree
ley meant the restoration of John e.
Breckenridge and other chiyalric sons of
the South to their former positions o
power and influence in the nation.
The democrats brought their aCvils to
night to fire salute over North Carroll
ma, but evidently received discouragins
| news, and they silently took them bacl
without exploding their powder.

President Grant as mana Washing
ton CIerSyaaan's Estimate of his Pri-
Vato Character.

The following interesting lotter was
written for the New York Independent
by Rev. J. e. Rankin, the able and
eloquent pastor Of the Congregational
Church, Washington D. G. MIR. Rankin
is so we'll known throughout the country
that his. estimate Of General Grant S
private character must be valuable
addition to the good many things that
have been said about the President s
personal qualities. When the present
bitter contest is over, and the venom o1
the politician shall give place to the hon
est judgment ofthe man, the review OF
General Grants life will prompt the i'm
partial verdict that his official and pri-
vate character was above reproach:
am satisfied with General Grant as
President Though not a politician

fulfilled all his pledges; that ne has

doing the best in his power for his coun

But [ want to speak of him in thi:
article as man-as resident OF Wash

he is President. A public man has two

some one said at the dinner table at The
White House ''But what if they prove
