How the Soldiers Support
Greeley.

An exchange says that when Mes
srs. Sumner and Banks avowed their
opposition to Grant, it was thought
that many Republicans would fol-
low their old leaders into the Gree
lev ranks. The election on Tues
day in Vermont shows that the ef-
feet there was not flattering to their
elf.esteem. An incident occnred
last Monday which shows that even
in Massachusetts, their own home,
there is little to fear. The Thirty
sixth Massachusetts regiment cele-
brated its tenth anniversary on Mon
day last at Worcester. Ten years
before it left Worcester, one thous-
and strong, for the seat of war, and
on Monday two hundred and twen-
ty-fve survivors met to greet one an
other and talk over their experience
es. 1t was suggested that vote be
taken. Two hundred and twenty
three voted for Grant and two for
Greeley. This was in Massachusetts,
where, ifanywhere, Charles Sumner
and N. P. Banks would be suppos.
ed to have influence.

Soldiers. Read This !--.And
Vote for Wilson.

Mr.. L. T. Neal, the Democratic aspi-
rant for Congressional honors, does not
seem to care for the vote of the soldiers
and has fatty expressed himself against
doing anything for their interests. Some
few days since d delegation of soldiers
waited upon him and requested him to
use his influence to secure tc soldiers,
their widows, heirs or legal representa-
tives, the grant from Congress of 100
acres of land in fee simple, without re-
quiring the personal residence of the
parties. To this proposition Mr.. Neal
refused to accede, saying that he would
have nothing to do with any such move
ment, and, in fact, directly and unequiv-
ocally snubbed the boys who made the
application. Soldiers, and friends Of
soldiers, you can now see just what Mr.
Neal proposes to do for you if he is elect
ed.-[Chil. Gaz.

John T. Wilson.

Hon. John T. Wilson, our gallant
standard bearer for Congress, made
the most favorable impression on-all
who met him during his visit here
last week. AS elsewhere announc-
ed he made short speech at the
Convention on Friday afternoon,
and in the evening, at the Tannery,
addressed crowd of some five to
six hundred men of all parties, who
had gathered there to hear him.
Mr.. Wilson's speech was the most
thorough and complete vindication
of Republican principles to which
we have ever listened, every word
carrying conviction to the minds of
his hearers and impressing upon
them the fact that the speaker was
in true earnest in the principles he
advocated. His home thrusts at
the Democratic fallacies and follies
of the day were met with the most
enthusiastic applause. We should
very much like to have published a
synopsis of Mr.. Wilson's remarks
on the occasion, but we were una
BILE to procure them.-[Chil. Gaz.

Democratic Meeting at Lynch
burg.
LYNcFHuRa. Sept. Z. Is

LYNCPBURG, Sept. Z, 1872.
EDITOR NEws:-That young Demo
cratic Webster, Neal, had with great
flourish oftrumpets, been announced to
speak here last night. The evening was
propitious, and by unusual exertions a
crowd had been gathered numbering
only about one hundred less than that
which listened to Capt. Foraker. An
out of town procession, numbering
some ten or eleven voters, bore with it
banner of "strange Device" 1 really
had to rub my eyes-the stripes had
been converted into bars. The resem-
blance, whether intended or not, was
strikingly like the old Confederate bat
tie flag have seen on many a field.
Gen. Mcdowell of Hillsboro was cho-
sen to preside. did not hear his open
ing remarks. The "young Webster"
followed, and started out with the as
founding declaration Il quote the exact
words) shat the election of General Grant
to q second term practically meant his
permanent continuance IN o6fce"! His
speech was sophomorical in the extreme
and full of Inaccuracies as to facts and
history. At the conclusion of every
we'll rounded period the young man
would take out his handkerchief and
wait for the applause-that did not
come!
He was followed by Shepherd and
DeBruin, the latter in the style of "Gen-
eral Bum" At the conclusion, three
feeble cheers were given, Gen. Mcdowell
leading the chorus. The meeting has
greatly encouraged the Republicans.

Chesapeake and Ohio r.. r..

The early completion of the G. &
o. Railroad is a matter which in
terests many of our readers. We
have a large number of subscribers
in Virginia, many of whom antici-
pate removing to this place during
this fall. Although the work in
the mountain regions is progressing
rapidly, the men working day and
night, yet it will be in the early
part of December before trains will
be running through to Richmond.
Big Bend Tunnel has been pierced
and arched and the construction
trains passing through every day
This completes the line of track
from Richmond to within seven
miles of the eastern end of the
western division, but this seven
miles is amid the steep mountains of
New river, where man nor beast
cannot travel without great difficult
ty. Mountains a thousand feet al
most perpendicular, rise into the
air at each end of the track hence
it will be impossible for freight to
pass over the road until it is finished
next December, unless the transfer
is made from White Sulphur to the
Falls in wagons.-[Huntington In

From Penn TIP.

RouSing Meeting Of the Grant Club
Speeches By DR.. Noble and J. C.
Gregg, Esq.
Mr.. EDITOR The Grant Club
meeting announced in my last, al
the School House in District No. 5
Penn Township, on Saturday eve
ming, September IA, was quite ar
enthusiastic affair. The House was
called to order by the temporary
President, when a constitution was
reported by the committee and
adopted by the Club. Permanent
officers were then elected, as follows
President-D. Bailey Recording
Secretary. L. Arthur; Core
spending secretary-Dr. F. M
Thomas Treasurer-C. Lewis, Esq
Executive Committee-A. E. John
son, J. L. Arthur and DR.. F. M
Thomas.
AS it was growing late, the elec.
tion of any further officers was post
poned until the next meeting. The
Club was then entertained by rous
ing speeches from DR.. D. Noble and
J. G. Gregg, Esq, of Hillsboro, the
former confining himself chiefly to
the doings and prospects Of the Re-
publican party, while the latter an
swered the Hon. L. T. Neal in re-
gard to "National Banks" "Land
Grapts," "Tariff," &c. They were
both telling speeches, though the
gentlemen protested that they were
innocent of speech making.
The Club adjourned about eleven
o'clock, to meet at Samantha, Thurs
day Evening, Sept. 19, when the
Central Committee have promised
a speaker. The west end of Penn
Township is Republican, and we
now feel that we are sufficiently Or
ganized to move against the Demo-
Gratis in and around Samantha.

Monthly Stock Sales-A Sug-
gestiOn to our Stock Dealers.

The Monthly Stock Sales which have
been held in this place for some time
past, owe their origin chiefly to the eff.
forts of one of our citizens, Mr.. James
Clark, proprietor of our leading livery
Stable, who deserves great credit for his
enterprise. The sales have been quite
successful thus far, but they have been
chiefly confined to Horses and Mules
and it seems to US they would be still
more useful if their scope were enlarg-
ed. We do not see why Cattle, Hogs
and Sheep, should not also be included
at these Sales, as they are in Fayette
and other neighboring counties. In
Fayette we notice that the sales are con-
Quoted under the auspices of the "Fay-
ette Co. Stock Association" composed
of the leading stock dealers, and the re-
suit of this plan is that the amount ol
sales is much larger than in our county.
For instance, at the last monthly sale
in Washington, Aug. 22d, the sales
amounted TO over $4,000.
Now we see no reason why similar
Association of Stock dealers cannot be
formed in this county, which would
bring them together from all parts OF
the county, and thus greatly increase
the amount of business transacted at
the Monthly Sales. 1t seems to US the
Association plan would work as well
here as in Fayette, and we throw oui
the suggestion for the benefit of all con-
cerned.

Bold Attempt TO Rob a Safe in
Broad Daylight.

Last Thursday, between 1 and
O'Clock P NJ, Mr.. G. 8. Bell, of tn,
Foundry, stepped out of his office int
the Machine Shop next door, leaving
his safe unlocked. He was gone but I
few minutes, and on returning discover
ed man at work at the safe with &
chisel, apparently trying to open draw
er. He called to him, when the fellow
sprang out of the side door Of the office
and ran towards the X. r. Depot. Mr.
Bell gave chase, but lost sight of him
Soon afterwards, however, he saw 9
stranger getting on the train, whom he
recognized as the thief, and charged
him with the crime. The fellow stoutly
denied it, and called up another man,
who was no doubt an accomplice, to
prove that ne had been at the Depot for
more than an hour previous. The en-
gineer OF the train also told Mr.. Bell he
thought the man he had pursued had es-
capped into field. Under these circum-
stances Mr.. B. let the fellow go, and he
soon after left on the train for Blsnches-
ter.
On examining his safe, Mr.. Bell
found that the fellow had got nothing,
not having succeeded in opening the
drawer at which he was working.
There was about a dollar and a half in
change in another drawer, which was
unlocked, but he left this untouched,
probably considering it too small a sum
to be worth taking.
After the train left, learning some
other facts which confirmed his suspi-
cions, as Co the thief's identity, Mr.. Bell
telegraphed to Lynchburg, and when
the train arrived there the Marshal OF
that village arrested the fellow and he
was brought back here the same eve
ming by Marshal Lyle. When arraigned
before the Mayor, he confessed the
crime, and was committed to Jail to
await his trial. He gave his name as
Charles Miller, and said he was from
Dayton. After lying in Jail day and
night, an officer came here from Gin
cinnati, with a warrant for his arrest,
on the charge of grand larceny, commit
ted in that city some time ago, and took
him down on the train Saturday morn
ing. The officer stated that he was an
old offender, though apparently only
about l9 years of age, and that his real
name was Johnson.
His attempt to rob was, under all the
circumstances, one of the boldest we
ever heard of, as he must have seen Mr..
Bell go out, and must have known that
he expected to be gone but few minutes,
from the fact that he left no one in the
Office and the safe open. 1t was fortu-
nate that Mr.. B. returned as he did,
as the fellow worked rapidly and might
have succeeded in securing some booty
had he not been discovered so soon.

Wilson is very ordinary sort oi
a man, and since hearing and seeing
him, we do not wonder that he ran
nearly $50 behind his State ticket in
his own county two years ago.
IChillicothe Post, 18th.
If the editor of the Post will con.
suit Greeley's Tribune Almanac Che
will believe Greeley now we sup
pose) he will find that Mr.. Wilson
did not run "nearly $50 votes be.
hind his State ticket in his own
county two years ago." The vote
for Sherwood, Republican candidate
for Secretary of State was 1870, and
that for Wilson was 1651-differ
ence nineteen, instead of "nearly
150." But our Greeley cotempora.
ries are excusable for these slight
"mistakes" in figures. Their arith.
metical powers have been SO severe
ly taxed in trying to figure up Dem
ocratic ''gains'' in the late elections
that a mistake of a hundred or Sc
should not be noticed.

A COmpefent Witness.

We believe the Boston Pilot to be
pretty good authority. The editor Of
that paper has been investigating the
charge of Know-Nothingism preferred
against Henry Wilson, the Republican
candidate for Vice-P President. The edi-
tor has been able to find nothing to
justify the accusation, except the fact
that Mr.. Wilson received a few votes for
Governor in the Know-Nothine Con-
vention, and declined the nomination.
The Pilot arrives at this conclusion:
"If Mr.. Wilson uttered these things
in 1854 the Pilot did not say anything
about it, which surprises us. We are,
therefore inclined to believe, whether
Mr.. Wilson was a Know-Nothing or
not, that these alleged quotations are
manufactured as campaign documents,
and unusually dirty campaign docu-
ments at that"

Hon. ]. T. Wilson In Pike
County.

The Waverly Republican of last week
says:
Hob. John T. Wilson, in his speeches
through our county, is most gloriously
vindIcating the principles Of the Repub-
lican party, and successfully combating
the sophistries disseminated by the
Greeley Liberal-Democrats in general
and Mr.. L. T. Neal in particular. He Is
following up his opponents assertions
Of silly complaint against the Grant
Administration, and, like the jugger-
naut, crushes as It rolls on. His haccs
are facts, and stated in such plain lam
guage as every hearer can understand.
The meetings, thus far, have been very
largely attended. And those who listen
to him are enthusiastic, and his listen
ers go home with a good opinion Of
him.
