EX.President Johnson.

Many OF our readers are already
aware that ex-President johnson las
announced himself as all independent
clndidate for Congress from the State
at large. Some months ago we express
ed our preference for HIM for the posi-
ton over all others, and we had hopes
that the State Convention would nomi-
nate him. But it seems that the cards
were stocked upon him and his friends
refused to go inte the Convention, and
hence we have him as an independent
candidate. This places things in rath-
er an awkward fix. Mr.. johnson has o
host Of ardent friends throughout the
State, who will give him most Jealous
support, while Gen. Cheatham is the
nominee OF his party in Convention.
The prestige Of State Convention, no
matter how it is gotten up, gives the
nominee advantages over bis opponent
not easily overcome. All party men
will feel bound to support the nominee,
although they greatly prefer the inde-
pendent candidate. That is exactly our
fix. If we expect to keep up our party
organization we must support the nom
nees of our Conventions. We do not
intend to say aught against Ex-Presi-
dent johnson during the canvass, but
we feel in duty bound to give our sup
port to Gen. Cheatham.-C,veland Ban

WHEELER IntPElPl or Not.

The New York World truthfully re-
marks that BLnton Duncan's bo!ting
convention, whether SO intended or not,
is a movement in Grants interest; and
so far as it has any success, it will re-
dound to Grants advantage. Every
Democrat in tho country OF any emf
nence or influence supports the B,lti-
more nominations. They are supported
by every Democratic member OF Con-
gress, every Democratic Senator. ard
every Democratic State Governor. Who
is this ex-Coufederute Lieutenant Col
onel, who never smrlt gunpowder and
never was known as Il Democrat, that
he should call II boiling convention to
mutiny against the deliberate judgm snt
and decision OF the Democratic organiza'
ton, and the judgment of all its recot
nized and trusted lenders?

1t is quite astonishing TO find man

it may reconcile us to being cut off un-

which Mark Twain dec lars the Lest bean

says Mark, "wash it well, and broil it

The Democratic majority in the Ter

Last year the Radicals carried the Ter

by 413 majority. This shows Demo

in total vote of 10000, giving gain
of Democratic Congressman in tie
election of Maginnis, and securing an
unmistakaLle endorsement OF Greeley

Nothing in the Liberal Movement.

1t is the constant cry of the renomi-

Liberal movement save a little sore
headism, that the bottom has fallen out
of it and that It will be uttery invisible
before November. For a falling institu-
ton it seems to be tolerably well sup
piled with friends. The New York 7'-i-

which support Greeley and Brown, and
257 Of these were formerly Republican
or Independent.

A Ten Thousand Dollar Wager.

Mr.. Benjamin Wood, the editor Of the
New York Erening Post, has manifested
his faith in the success Of Greeley and
Brown by wagering $4,000 that Horace
Greeley will be elected the next Presi-
dent of the United States. 1t has been
stated by Grant organs that General
Hillyer, a Grant man, has taken the
above bet. This is not true, and the
sum mentioned still remains deposited
at the Office of the Nr,cs, waiting for the
man who believes $4,000 worth that
Grant will be his own successor.

Pierce, the proprietor of DR.. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy, is in earnest and means what he says
when he offers $500 reward for any case of Ca

some skeptics and fogies who would continue to
shout, "Hunabug" ''Humbug! !" 1T cannot
be, because DR.. Homespun says Catarrh cannot
be cured" Now, this Dr. Homespun is the
identical. good-natured old fellow who honestly
believes and persists in declaring that this earth
is not round or spherical, but fiat as slap
jack" and does not turn over, otherwise the
water should all be spilled out of Deacon Bas-
CONS mill pond. But astronomical science has
positively demonstrated and proven that DR..
Homespun is wrong in suppcsing this earth to
be flat and stationary and medical science is
daily proving the fact that he is no less miStak-
en- and behind the times in regard to the cura-
bility of Catarrh. In short, it has been posi-
lively proven that this world moUcS, and that
medical science Is progreSsiue-the opinion Of
DR.. HOmespun to the contrary notwithstanding.
That DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy will cure Ca

Then buy and use it, in doubt do not stand,
You will find it in drug stores all over the
