The Usage CT Chappaqua'' lectured
the Maryland farmers recently on .the
improvement of worn-out lands. Out
here we have no worn lands-so
come West, old man-come West? says
the Chicago Journal.
Business already feels the effects OF
the elections last week. The merchants,
manufacturers, bankers and business
men of the country generally do not
want any disturbance of the financial
policy of the government, says the Tran
script.
The Democrats have at last found a
woman orator to advocate the cause OF
their candidate. Miss Minnie Swayze,
lately professor in Vassar College, pro-
posed to speak for the latest lost cause
in Cooper Institute last evening. Gen.
Kilpatrick was to be there also. We
are sorry that Miss Swayze should be
found in such company.

The Philadelphia Post says apropos
of the Liberals determination to contln-
ue the fight ''Col. Mcclure may be
the boy who will stand on the burning
deck, but it will be Internally hot for
him. " The Col. has too much respect

Gratis and Greeleyites destroyed the press
and type of the Straight Out Republi-

1t is stated that several Greeley clubs
in New York took down their banners
and declared for Grant when the news
came in from Pennsylvania Such indi-
, cations of popular sentiment are seen
everywhere and the chances are that,
if Greeley remains in the field, he will
not carry three states. The stampede
is simply astonishing.
: NJ J. Russell Jones, the United States
Minister to Belgium, has written a letter
/ to the Tribune, in which he denies every
alteration of that nAwsrannr in, rnlat;nn
, Illinois to the President. That will
make no difference. Those who framed
the falsehood published by the Tribune
knew when it was published that it was

MIR. Charles O'Connor, the great Amer

| strengthens their souls for the contest of
November by summoning them to re-
member that Goethe once said 1.-The
, spirit in which we work is the chief
, matter. Twas worthy of Gratz Brown
himself, but the great Missourian would
have quoted it diferently-even thus :
1.-The spirit that works in us is the chief
matter
A few of the Greeley organs preserve
a feeble and melancholy show of keeping
up the fight. But the more candid frank

out of the question. The New York
World, the national Democratic organ
says: ITO be sure, there is left but a
slender chance of Mr.. Greeley's election. -
= . - 1t would be absurd for Democrats
to slaeken their energy now, even if
they have no longer any hope of elect

We copy dispatch which indicates
the feeling that prevails in the Demo-
cratic and Liberal committees at Wash.
lngton: at is conceded on all sides
that Mr.. Greeley has been beaten for the
Presidency, and that the death-knell of
the Liberal movement has been sound
