The tried and true patriots of Pitts

ed Greeley's shameful insult to the great
Soldiers and Sailors Convention of last
month. On the 8th inst they gave Hart
ranft majority of 9,2S1, or $500 more
than they gave the Republican ticket in
1871. Pennsylvania by official returns
gives Hartranft a majority of 50, 726. What

THE Press and Herald is not authorized
to speak for the Republicans of Knox
county as to their feelings towards Hon.
A. A. Freeman. If we mistake not they
will show next month by rousing ma
jority that they are satisfied he is a far bet
ter man.than General Brown, and that his
objections to the latter's administration
are well taken and of very damaging
character.

The Ohio Liberal Committee through
one Brinkerhoff, chairman, have issued a
pronunciamento, in which they easily fig
ure out Greeley's election. 1t is a good adj
Vertisement for Brinkerhoff for every SEN
sible man after reading it will be interested
in knowing something about the fool that
signed it. Its cheek will make him noto-
rious. Well, Brinkerhoff is a harmless
fellow who made himself conspicuous two
weeks ago by telegraphing to Greeley that
Ohio would elect its Liberal ticket ON the
8th by 10000 majority, and elect IA out of
20 Congressman. But the election turned
out quite different. The Republicans car
rled the State by over 5000 and elected
IL out of the 20 Congressman. Brinker-
hon is fool of the first class as his last cir
cuiar proves, In the face of Is, 600 Repub-
hcan majority last week he classes Ohio as
dou0ga@ State. She will give Grant at
least $4,000 majority and we should not be
surprised to see it over 10000. Now what
ought to be said of editors who endorse
such stuff as Brinkerhoff's circular. Have
they not misled their readers long enough {?

FROM the reports we get from the joint
canvass between Garrett, (?) Caldwell, and
Col. J. M. Thornburgh, the champion of
the Knoxville workingmen, the latter
have good reason to be proud of their
standard-bearer. Thornburgh, by his able,
dignified, and eloquent appeals to the peo-
pie, is making friends everywhere. The
sensible voters of this Congressional dis
trict see that he is the only man that can
do them any service at Washington, and
they will therefore vote for him without
reference to party. Workingmen every
where are voting for men in sympathy
with their interests.

THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE.

1t has been a source Of great Won
der to us why the Electoral College
has not been abolished long ago.
THE recent .fasco of the Greeley and
Brown electors in this and other
States is but an other potent argu-
ment against the absurd system of
clecting go-bctwcens" to vote for
President and Vice President. Tn
der the present system 1t could
happen (although it never has hap
pened) that a President elect might
be in a fearful minority as regards
the popular vote. Then, again,
Electors have the power TO total
ly ignore the popular vote, and
cast their ballots for whomsoevcr
they please. All this absurd, bungle-
some and absolutely superfiuous ma
chinery should be dispensed with, and
We are glad to observe that it Is pro-
posed to submit an amendment to the
Constitution providing that the Pres
ident and Vice President shall be clecs
ted by a direct vote of tho people.
This is q movement in the right di-
rectiOa. ~

JUDGE MERRIMoN, the newly-elected
United States Senator from North Car
DINA, chosen by a union of the Repubii-
cans with Conservative Democrats in
opposition to Zebulon B. Vance, has
been formally read out of the Democratic
party, although only last August he was
the candidate of that party for the Office
Ex-Governor. 1t is stated that the ultra
Democrats would much prefer to have
united with the Republicans in retur-
ming Senator Pool than to have had
Judge Merrimon elected, Vance himself
being very bitter against the Democratic
deserters, going SO far as to say that if
his nomination by the party caucus was
not ratified by election, the Democracy
would go to the wall in North Carolina,
and he did not care how soon. The new
Senator is reported to be q man Of very
superior. talent, and of i~rreproachable
character, who will be an honor to the
Senate and a credit to his State. He is
of the same age with Mr.. Vance, lives
in the same county, are of the same pro-
fession. have belonged to the same party,
and, Of course, have always been in each
other $ way politically. Judge Merrimon
is of Wing antecedents, and during the
war Was pronounced in favor of the I'm
ion cause, while Vance was a bitter and
relentless rebel. m.

INDUCEMENTS"

Last winter the State Legislature
passed q law providing for the estab-
lishment of a new Lunatic Asylum,
and provided that the Governor ap-
pointed five COMMISSIONERS to select
the sight for IL. W. II, McHenry, of
St. Louie; j. j. Mitchell, Of Lafay-
cite county; W. f. Gilmore, Of
Springfield; Joseph R. hickey, of
Galloway county, and Louis Hax, of
st. Joseph, were the Commissioners
appointed. Various points were Wis
tied and examined by the Comission-
crs, and St. Joseph was the point fl
nally selected as the place for the
erection of the new State institution.
Durilfe the inspection of the Comiss-
iouers, however, the st. Joseph pco-
ple we're very anxiousto do something
they could to insure the selection of
their town, some citizens proposing
one thing to be done, and some another.
BY pressure from outside parties, the
the Cuthlty Court IF Buchanan coun-
~ appropriated fifteen thousand dol
lars ITO and for the use of the Com
issiorcrs for the Northwestern or
Southwestern Missoui Lunatic Asy-
lum, to he paid to said Commissioners
rs soon as said asylum is located at
or near st. Joseph, and not before"
John l.. Bittinger was appointed
agent to carry the order into effect.
This was last summer. a week or
so ago q fashy article appeared in the
ST. Joe Gazette, saving the Comiss-
toner's had not acknowledged receiv-
ing the money, and pcrtinaciously in
quired where ii had gone. AS this
matter involved the official character
OF the Commissioners, they last Friday
held a meeting at st. Joseph &c inres-
figate and clear themselves of the i'll
sinuating charges made against them,
which they did fully and conclusivciy.
Upon Major Bittlnger being informed
that the County Court had made the
appropriation, and had appointed
him agent to pay the money over, he
refused to accept, but upon the sug-
gestiou that he might pay it over to
an attorney to act for him, he agreed
TO act, and paid the money over to
Colonel Claiborne, of St. Louis who
was generally conceded to be a law
yer Of considerable influence. Colo
nel Claiborne disclaims any knowl-
edge of the order of the Court, ami
claims tho fifteen thousand dollars
was received and used by him as a fee
from buchanan county for acting as
lis attorney in the case. Tins the
matter stands. The money has found
its way Into Nat. Claiborne's pocket,
aud from our acquaintance with law
yers as a class, we are of opinion that
buchanan County Court could with
better show of success undertake the
task of extracting a ray of truth from
the editorial columns of their Gu
sette than 10 try to get back what
Nj. Claiborne las got possession of.

that President Grants seconed admins
