CuRwESsvILLE, Aug. 18th, 1872.
Mr.. EDIroR.-I notice by your last paper that
the Clinton Democrat, has been making blow
about "the largest raft yet and credits 1t to
Farwell a Grugans, and 1t is said to be 1915 feet
long and 2si feet wide. This raft must have been
kind Of gum-clastic concern, or it could not
have gone through the schute at Lock Haven
Let the editor Of the Demscrat measure the schutc
in sight Of his office, and he will see whcro the
Largest" will stick. None Of your jokes on old
raftmen, down there. Either make your raft mar
rover, or your schutes wider A. .RAFTuAs.

OATs.-We suppose the oats crop

prolific. We are informed that our friend ]. W.

+ measuring from "a to 80 inches. If the kernels
ere IS well set on such heads usual, tho yield

bats with heads six and eight inches long, wher
Evou can do three times better7

DiED.--Near Ansonvile, clearfeld county,
Robert Liddell, in the hfty-scventh year Of his
age. Coming to America more than twenty nine
years ago, he settled in Clearaeld county, and
continued to reside on tho same farm until his
death. A man Of more than ordinary mind, and
possessing a diigcnt and contemplativc disposi-
tion, his intellect gained for him tho respect Of oil
who knew him. It was well merited respect.
He was not only an intelligent, but also good
man. lie was honest. lie was firm fricnd-a
good neighbor and citizen--and christian.
Remarkable for his hrmness and decision Of char
acter, he was yet kind and afrcctionatc. For
nearly twenty years Mr. Liddlc has been Ruling
Elder In the Fruit Hill Presbyterian Church.
His trust was In Jesus. The religion he proiessed
influenced him in all the walks and relations Of
his life. The community in which he lived mourn
his loss, and bear = merited testimony to his
worth Of character. The Savior In whom he
trusted during life, was the foundation Of the
Heavenly hopes that supported him in death, In
IN eminent degree, his end was peace. -

The Eighth Of October.

The total defeat of the Liberal Demo
cratic coalition, which was fixed with ir-
reversible certainty on the memorable
Eighth of this month is neither more noI
less, than the complete overthrow of the
most despicable political immortality the
most unnatural prostitution of an unfaith-
ful reform party with the party of open
opposition and uudisguised rebellion
against the highest national interests OF
the Republic; tie disgusting hermaphro
dite, which under Groeley's waverine
leadership, has been and is still trying to
obtain the unrestrained control of the
Government.
But the sound common sense of the
American pepople has rendered judgment
against this monstrosity on the Sth OF
October and that judgment will be exc
cuted on the 5th of Novem Der. Then,
when this coalition Of slanderers and de-
ceivers is utterly destroyed, then only
shall we see the commencement of a true
and genuine national reform carried on
as it was instituted, by the Republican
PARTY

CINCINNATI Oct. 4.
To the Editor Of the Cincinnati Gazette
Having thought reform was necessary
in the affairs of our general government,
[ was one Of the first in Michigan to com
ply with the request of the Missouri re-
formers for mass convention to be held
at Cincinnat lsst May. With my ideas
of reform, [ went into the convention as
delegate from Michigan strongly in
favor of Charles Francis Adams and Ly-
man Trumbull. Since that time | am
satisfied the reform is on the other hand,
aud that we have been sold out to the
Democratic party. Myself, together
with several of our old line Republicans,
have come to the conclusion that We can
not support the Liberal movement. Ii
was altogether too corrupt for Us in the
outset. The associations for old line
Republicans are not suited to our taste.
The course of the leaders has been, since
the organizations of the Liberal party,
one general course of corruption, and one
calculated to build Up the old Democrat
ic party. We are required to join hands
with every traitor Of the South and every
blackleg of the North. We are required
to sit still and hear the men, who turned
a cold shoulder upon our loyal soldiers
during the war, say all manner of evil
against Gen. Grant. and one Of the bast
parties that we ever had in America
(signed) q n. TERRY, one of the Greeley
and Brown Executive Committee of the
Fifth Ward of East Saginaw, Michigan.

GEN ERAE. GRANT.

The Atlantac Nonthy for October,
closes its political articles as follows:
with President Grant, the country
has at least an assurance of tranquility
L will not be lifted to state of perfec-
ton. but will incur no new peril. The
Administration Of Grant will make no
rash experiments on our finances and
our dangerously expanded currency.
The public credit will be safe. The
country will have security from foreign
wars, fllibustering attempts and domes-
tic violence. The constitutional Office OF
the President will remain intact, to be
used to protect the public credit and
treasury from hostile legislation and the
boundless Southern claims growing out
Of the war Reconciliation will be es
tablished on the only possible terms,
submission to equal laws. There will be
that public confidence which is requisite
to the expanded trade and credit of civil
lization, and which is vital need in
our financial currency and banking situa
ton and the country will have as much
currency reform, tariff reform, and civil
service reform as Congress and popular
opinion will support"

HON. HENRY BETZ' LETTER OF
ACSEEEANCE.
From the Sheboygan Time

1t is with pleasure that We present be
low the letter of Hon. Henry B3tz, in
response to the one officially notifying
him of his nomination for member oi
Congress from this, the Fifth Congress
ional District. MIR Batz was our first
choice for this nominatian, We have
known him personally for several year,
and that knowledge has shown him tc
and his private and public life bear the
impress OF its unfoldment. He is mau
of good ability, with decidedly prac-
tical cast OF mind courteous in his bear
ings, thoroughly honest. and possesses
the full confidence of all who know him.
His letter Of acceptance IN Itself bears
evidence of the true worth of the man
and how great the contrast between Its
modest, self-estimating spirit and that
of Carl Schurz, who pompously boasted
that he carried the German vote Of the
country in his pocket" +" In this parti
cuar Major Baetz-who bears the scars
of the honorable wounds received in the
service of his adopted country-is very
much like our modest, quiet but force
full soldier President, Gen. Grant.
Though a resident OF Manltowoc,
which may in some sense be considered
a rival applicant for Congressional ia
yors, yet our implicit faith in Major
Batz' love Of Justice and integrity OF
character, is such, that we firmly be-
lieve that, if elected, Sheboygan inter
ests would receive at his hands
equal and impartial governmental aid,
in SO far as he could control such aid for
either point.
With this estimate of B8tz' character
we hope to see Sheboygan county roll
up for him, op the fifth of November, a
majority of at least 500 votes.

POLITICAL CLIPPINGS.

Tn an article on the elections Of Tues
day. the Chicago Times says; with
the perfect demonstration that is afforded
of the utter inability of the Cincinnati
Baltimore coalition to defend the Radi-
cal ticket, there ought to be no longer de-
lay in repudiating Greeley and Brown
as the Democratic candidates. Let the
grand old party now reform its lines un-
der the banner of O Connor and Adams,
and if victory does not await it, it will at
least not be compelled to contemplate
the certainty of defeat and disgrace.
Mr.. Steward has declared his inten-
ton to support General Grant in pub
lished letter to Mr.. r. p. johnson. of
San Francisco. He excuses himself for
not taking and active part for politics,
and adds Now, however, not less than
at any former time, do | think it the
duty Of every citizen to leave no uncer
tainty to exist concerning the principles
and policy which govern his vote. l
have seen no sufficient reason to with
draw mine from the support of the pri1-
ciples and policy which carried the coun
try safely through the civil conflict, OF
from the party organization
Charles Francis Adams, Jr, of Mas
sachusetts, in his recent speech, repudi-
ating Horace Greeley, and advising his
friends TO vote for General Grant, men
toned the fact that the original resoIu-
ton, calling the Cincinnati Convention,
was drawn by himself. It will be re
membered that Stanley Matthews, the
chairman of the convention long since
declared for Grant.
1t is less than six years ago that Hor-
ace Greel ley insulted every Democrat in
the country by writing (IriJune, Oct
3Oth, 1862 of ''six in bed, exclusive
of other eo"nain, tor every Democratic
couch in the State ofNew York. inelu-
ding those at Sing Sing and Auburn. And
Democrats are now asked to rub this in
by voting for Greeley Cor President Of
the United States
The San Francisco Bulletin says
The fact is here as elsewhere, the Gree
ley coalition haye no hope Unless
there is some great change in public
opinion before the first Tuesday in No
vember, Grant will be elected by larger
maiorities than he received in 1868.

THE Chronicle AGAIN. Judge Pier
point calls his sanderous charge
against Hon. Henry Batz "a harmless
campaign quotation of popular slang.
We agree to its being slang" but
not to its being popular" at the least
not with Republicans, nor to such a
campaign quotation" being harmless
to Honorable men like Henry Batz
who owes all he is and all he has in this
Country to a pure, umblemished charac-
ter.
Mr. Pierpont's report of the County
Investigating committee proves nothing
derogatory against Henry Betz, whose
account books as City-as well as Coun-
ty Treasurer, were found unexceptiona-
ble in every respect, and without the
least financial default; a distinction
which can certainly not be said Of the
late County Clerk administration.
The ''rumor that" Henry B. has re-
ceived s5OOOOO to aid him in giving
popularity to the Grant ticket" origina-
ted with and is entirely confined to the
Chronicle. and therefore as false as it is
harmless. IF Mr.. Betz spends any
money, it is his own and is used in a
good cause ; while tho Two Rivers edi-
tor uses the government money only to
vilify its source, its head and its friends.
- Further personalities only in case of
necessity.
