speech-something about the tele.

Georgia, rose to reply, and
made a speech of real and person
al abuse of Seward. He wrought
himself up into rage and lashed

ner He finished and took his
seat. As Mr.. Seward rose from his
chair every eye was bent upon him
with the greatest anxiety.
With calm measured step he
walked toward Mr.. Toombs. It
was noticed that his right hand Was
under the rear pocket of his coat.
There was apprehension that he
was concealing > pistol. and Mr..
T's friends crowded around him.
When Mr.. Seward reached him he
drew ont his hand, opening hie

h. President, 1879,
s. Grant.

We make the above announce
ment, not to attract special no
tice,- or to indicate extra-officious
zeal, but because it expresses
OUR MOST EN- P H A TIC
PREFERENCE, and we don't
see why we should not say SO.
Gen. Grant, in some eminent re-
spects, has shown himself as
much superior in civil as in mil
itary affairs. He his promptly
taken positions and assumed re-
sponsinilities which no mere
politician. Of the ordinary run
OF our statesmen. would have
dared to do. Take for instance
his direct announcement in his
inaugural address in favor of Ne
gro Suffrage. The party which
elected him had lodged the
question in its plitform. What
other men, outside of the pro-
uounced Radicals, bnt would
have followed that example as
President, and dodged, or at
least postponed de laration on
the subject? But not SO with
Grant. An old-tim Democrat
before the war, he at once de-
monstrated the soundness of his
conversion, the frank heroism Of
his nature, as well as the high
est craftsmanship, by taking the
bull by the horns.
In like manner on the subject
of the payment of the National
Debt, on which, also, his party
had trimmed and prevaricated,
he did not hesitate to take the
responsibility Of a clear state
ment of his position, at the i'm.
minent hazard Of his popularity
Again, his putting the man.
agement Of our Indian Affairs
in Quaker hands, shows a mind
much above the grade Of the
mere politician-a practical wis.
dom which is being vindicated by
results.
Last, but not least, we ap
plaud his prompt, manly, HEARTY
recognition of the French Re
public. How refreshing it wa'
to every true man to hear cu1
Chief Magistrate speaking righ
out in meeting on that subject
no hal.ing-no equivocation
1t was an example amidst tn
senseless pro-Prussian fol +,
which had swept over the coun
try, anu showed that we have

proclivities.

And sprang to life, and laughed in bliss.

We wish it was Saturday night
It matters but little to those
Whose holidays last al the year,
Whether this is a Saturday night,
Or some other eve that is hero.
But had they to live by their labor,

would not they seem more blithe when th(

Let all our grim cares be forgotten;
Let thoughts of their trouble take fight,
And let as be cheerful, if ever,
Because it is Saturday night.

When the dawn Of eternity breaks,
That Sabbath of endless delight,
We shall never regret that on earth

Country Newspapers.

The following is what the Cincin-
natl Trade List thinks of the char
acters who complain of their coun
ty paper and instead of helping to
support it, send off for large city
papers, and thus help TO sustain
them:
"a gentleman writes to us that
his country paper is so poor that
he has stopped taking it, therefore
sends us three dollars for the Trade
List. We repeat that we don't
want subscribers on those terms.
A mans county paper is worth
more to him than any other paper
in the world, or if it is not, it is his
own falt. If the county paper is
properly encouraged, it may be re-
lied upon for information of more
value to the people In whose inter
est it is issued than can be found in
all the city papers in the United
States. No man can afford TO stop
the paper that publishes the official
advertisements Of his county, the
public sales, market, court news and
other local intelligence. Ii the pa
per is poor the people are more at
fault than the publishers, for liberal
patronage will always make a good
paper However poor the country
paper may be, it is always worth
more than it costs to those interest
ed in the affairs OF its locality"

We seem to have struck one OF
those streaks of bad luck which
sometimes overshalows the for
tunes of the most skillful and de-
serving. No matter what we hold,
the Radicals have just enough to
beat it. New jerseys two little
pair turned out neither more nor
less than Missouri's three little
aces, We thought we had q full
hand in Tennessee and a flush, at
least, in Alabaina-and so we did
have-but the showdown proves
them to be not worth a cent. The
raise we made on Indiana cost us all
we had won and q little more be-
sides. We had slipped Virginia in
our sleeve and hid Arkansas under
the table. But it's no use. They
beat us holding, teat us drawing,
and beat us playing. 1t is evident

hope that by hanging on things
