A gentleman who had spent part
of his life in the far West, in speak,
ing of the Greeley-Democratic move,
said it reminded him of an incident
that occurred in the mines. A party
OF miners took up a claim and Sc
lected one of their party for cook,
who was to serve in that capacity
| until some one found fault with his
cooking. In that event the fault
finder was to take his place and do
the cooking himself. George B
was the first to fill the position, and
everything went on smoothly for a
week or two, when George became
tired and resolved to have some one
ind fault if possible. So one morn
ing he mixed up his dough for
breakfast, putting in equal parts of
flour and salt. All sat down to
breakfast, and Bill j was the
first to break a biscuit. He tasted
it, smelled it and tasted it again and
said: "H-lI I'll be id if this
amt the saltiest biscuit l ever cot
hold of-but," said he, suddenly re-
membering the contract, 'it is
good!" Now the Democrats are in
the same fix. Greeley is the saltiest
pill they ever got hold of, but then
he is good.

One Thing Wanting,

1t is claimed by the friends of
Neal, who was nominated for Con-
gress by the Democrats here the 9TH
er day, that he never took drink OF
whisky, never smoked cigar, nev-
er took chew of tobacco and never
violated the seventh commandment
There is yet one thing lacking in
his record-patrjotisna. He was a
bitter rebel in act and speech during
the war, and his Grafton before the
Convention here showed that he
"has it bad' yet.

The Confederate Torch.

Among the Confederate archives
which have come into possession OF
our Government, mas been found a
paper which fixes upon the Confed-
crate Government the deliberate
purpose ofapplying the torch to our
Northern cities. This paper is "The
report of the Hon. Jacob Thompson,
on the operations on the frontier"
etc. Colonel Picket, of whom our
Government purchased the archives,
says: "I always Indignantly denied
the allegation" of the design on the
part of the Confederate Government
to use the incendiary torch ''untiI I
saw ThompSon's report" He init
mates that he would have destroyed
ii had he discovered it before he
parted with the archives. "Its pub
Ilication," he says, "wilI doubtless
cause Thompson, with Davis and
Benjamin, to feel uncomfortable fot
a little while; but as 1 expect to &c
to neither one of them when 1 die
my sympathy shall not be of a heart
rending character, especially as they
all have treated me badly enough
in my time" Thus do the imam
les Of the Southern Confederacy
come out, one by one, as will, il
time, the infamies of those who are
now trying to accomplish by false
hood and trick what they failed t.
accomplish by force of arms-tht
defeat of Ulysses S. Grant.

Another case of nepotism, and an nut
ragged world still rolls on A Greeley or
gan, announcing the fact, says: "The
relation is by way of Aaron Delano,
whose aunt Susanna married Capt.
Noah Grant, the great grand father of
the President" "Aaron Delano," SAYS
the horror-stricken Detroit Post, sis
brother-in-law of this nepotic Postmas-
ter. Thus the Postmaster's brother-in-
laws fathers aunt married the Presi-
ldent's great grandfather. And this
brother-in.law of man whose fathers
aunt was step-mother to Grants grand
father, holds post Office worth from
$500 to $500 year Can such thing be
and the American people continue to
suffer in stole calmness ?"

GreeIey's Sale.

No sane man but must know that
Greeley has sold himself to the
South. But few days since that
noble patriot, George N. Saunders,
who was the paid agent of the
Southern Confederacy to burn north
ern cities, was closeted several hours
with Greeley in New York, and in
the Nashville meeting last week,
Hon. E. l.. Golliday, member Of
Congress from the Nashville District,
said in his speech: "That he had
promised Tennessee to Greeley by
10000 majority, and that Greeley
had promised to put a Tennesseean

Greeley Campaign Song.

The following song was published
in the New York Tribune fifteen
years ago. 1t was forwarded to the
editor by an admiring Southern
friend, who, if now alive, sings
doubtless, another tune:
| "Come, Mr.. Greeley-come to the South,
The land you have lied and relied on
You can hold your chin and open your mouth
By stretching the rope you are tied on.
Bring old Granny Giddings and clustering Hale,
Fred Douglass aud Henry Ward Beecher,
With Niger thief Hiatt from Washington jAiI,
And Sumner, the DEVILS own preacher.
Come, Mr.. Greeley-come to the South,
Thou chief of the DEVILS apostles;
Our hemp shall assist you in walking the air,
And make a display of big tsssels."
By the way, these lines well ex-
press the opinion of the Democracy,
both North and South, at that day.
The Tribune, itself, was denounced
as an incendiary publication and
destroyed by the Southern postmas-
ters. Greeley, himself, was nearly
beaten to death, in the streets ol
Washington, while a member oi
