A doleful occurrence took place on
one of the Hoboken ferry boats at New
York. A vendor of the Grant badges
went aboard and began to hawk his
goods. He thrust miniatures of the
-taker into the faces of the pussen-
gers.
"Who's this ?" they asked.
"That's Gin'ral Grant, zur; buy one,
he's zellen' awful cheap"
"Give me Greeley badge" said one;
"I'll take a little of the white hat in
mine," said another; "Take 'em over
to Jersey and sell 'em to Robeson, the
S93,0OO feller, he'll buy 'em," advised
a third ; "I've lived pretty happily fol
sixty-three years without any pictures
of any man around and it's too late 10
commence now; !" said an old gentle
man "Twenty.flve cents for those
things! why you couldn't get twenty
five cents for the original If you had
him here" contemptuously remarked
another; "He's been sold for nothing
lots of times, and his brother-in-law
always got the pay" said his compan-
ion. Another asked "why he didn't
bring out some Greeley badges, such as
the people wanted )" another wanted
to know "what relation the peddler
was to Grant"
And thus the poor fellow went
through the boat, selling not one badge
the whole trip, and dolefully declaring
he was sorry he made the trip, being
out his fare.

Byan examination of PurdOn's Digest
of the Laws of Pennsylvania we find
that there is plenty of law upon the
subject of public officials specializing
with the moneys of the Commonwealth.
On pages 22S,9. P. l.. 10 and 73, there
are provisions imposing fines and PEN
alties ON any officer of the Common
wealth, or of any city, county, borough,
or township thereof, who loans, with
or without interest therefor, any money
or valuable security which may be in
his keeping by virtue of his office.
There are also provisions against the
lOaning of any such moneys to banks
or other corporations or its private in.
vestment. We call the attention OF
several gentlemen holding public office;
at Harrisburg and of the prospective
members of the next Legislature tc

Our Pure President,

Hon. Sayles J. Bowen, formerly may
or and also postmaster of Washington
In letter recently published states
that General Grant cheated him out Of
5000 "with coolness and delibera-
ton that would do credit to any black
leg" and purposes bringing the matter
before the Courts at the September
term, when rich development re-
gardlng our President Is promised.
This is the man whom the people of the
United States are asked to re.instate in
power for four years-a man who has
given rise to such disgraceful charge
even II he be not guilty of the alleged
offence. We remember not very long
since that an Indebtedness Of 5000 was
discovered which Grant was compelled
to pay-aIthough the unfortunate clerk
who found it was promptly discharged
The mcanness and malignity Of Gran
are pretty we'll understood, but are WI

The new stables at the White House
are superior to Robert Bonner's and
cost nearly $4,000. And the fund for
building them was distracted from the
new state department, without the
shadow of authority in violation of
law. But then DR.. Grant thinks more
of tho horse department than of the
state department, and 1t is only natural
that he should rob the latter for the
benefit of the former. A President who
knows more of horsemanship than OF
craftsmanship wants stable govern
ment.

COMMENTING upon General Logan's
recent speech in Galesburg, Illinois,
the Chicago Tribune presents this sum-
mary of the effort: "Farmers, are you
not prosperous? Don't your cows give
twenty.four quarts of milk day, and
don't your oats grow forty bushels to
the acre and sell for twenty. seven cents?
Don't your wife have new baby every
year, and don't you send one new pupil
annually to the public school? Isn't
remission of sins free to all of you who
repent, and can't you have pew
in the church by paying for it? And
now demand of you, as farmers, a:
husbands, and as christians, s,under what
political party have you enjoyed all
this prosperity? Under the Grant par.
ty, you answer. Then vote for Grant

We find the following in the Albany

We find the following in the Albany
argus of Wednesday
Twenty-Five cases of arms from the
Springfield Armory, directed to the
State Arsenal of North Carolina, were
at the wharf of the New York and New
Haven Steamboat Company in New
York on Sunday morning.
1t would seem from this that Grant
proposes to use his old method of bayo-
net.voting at the North Carolina elec =
ton. We commend the article quoted
above to the atteEtion ofsuch Democrats
as cannot make up their minds to vote
for Greeley. There is no accounting for
taste but We should fancy that these
gentlemen might have had about
enough of Grant. Every Democratic
vote at. home helps to re.elect him.
Think it over.

After mature deliberation and after
consulting those especially Interested in
the utterances of this paper, we enter
the lists and shall support Hon. Chas.
r. Buckalew for Governor. We attach
but little significance to political plat
forms. they are at best but fabrics of
straw, and are liable to collapse at any
moment, after the election. We have
seen too much of party politics to at
tsah any importance to these frail
structures. Let ..us have good men, and
measures will be right. With bad men
all the platforms ever reared will be but
"as the idle wind, which they regard
not"
The first consideration should there
fore be to secure good man-able, hon.
est and reliable. So far as the material
interests of the Commonwealth are con-
cerned, there is but little profeSSed
difference between the two parties.
They both profess to believe in a pru-
dent and economical management of the
finances. They both profess to cherish
the interests nd the honor Of the State,
and to guard The welfare of the people.
A good man of either party would carry
out the vital principles. A bad man OF
either party would sacrifice these prin.
ciples to secure his own advantage. We
therefore want man who has been
tried and found faithful. We do moi
want one who is suspected. Now, we
cannot help it that the man above re-
proach happens to be the Democratic
candidate; nor can we help it that the
Republican candidate is not free from
suspicion. We are, therefore, impelled
by q sense of duty, to supportthe Demo
cratic Candidate-not because he is 6
Democrat, but because we want mar
who has the nerve, the ability and the
honesty to carry out the principles O
public economy, irrespective of party
trammels.
Holding these views, we are irresisti
bly, forced to support Mr.. Buckalew
and we are free to say that we would
just as ardently espouse the cause Of th'
Republican candidate, IL the persona
aspect of the question had been revers
ed. We take our stand under the banne
of Buckalew, because he Is an able ant
an honest man; and we oppose Hart
ranft because we believe he is not
DanVitle Independent.

The New York Sun says: Mr.. Lin
coins first cabinet consisted of Messrs.
Seward, Chase, Cameron, Welles, Blair,
Smith and Bates. The two last named
are dead. Cameron is for Grant. Chase,
Welles and Blair are for Greeley.
Where stands Governor Seward? When
MIR. Lincoln first became President
there were thirty-one republicans In
the senate. or these senators six are
dead, thirteen are for Grant, ten are fol
Greeley, and of the opinions of the re-
naming two we have as yet no certain
information. We refer to Mr.. Harris
of New York, aud Mr.. Clark, of New
Hampshire. Nevertheless we are tolt
that the republican party is almost
unit for Grant, Do not facts like tht
above fatty contradict this impuden
assertion?

The debts of the ten Southern States
have been nearly quadrupled under the
maladministration and plunderings of
the carpet-baggers, who have been sus-
tanned and upheld by the present Ma
tional Administration. Before these
States came under carpetbag control
the entire debt of the ten States was
$76,415.3OO. Now II has reached $29i,-
626,0l5, an increase Of s2l5, ,2l0,7l5.
Here we have an increase of over two
hundred millions In the debts of those
States. Such are the blessings of the
State Governments which Grant has
been forcing upon the South and sus-
tanning by both the civil and military
power of the Administration.

It is said that during the session ol
the Baltimore convention the following
wager was made between Hon. A. X.
Mcclure, of Pennsylvania, and Mr.. AL
word chairman of the democratic state
committee of Indiana: If Pennsylva,
mia should give larger majority for
Mr.. Buckalew than Indiana does for
Mr.. Hendricks, Mr.. Hendricks is to
bring to and present to the state OF

ately inscribed. If the majority for Mr..
Hendricks should be larger than for
MI. Buckalew, Mr.. Buckalew is to go
to Indiana and present similar banner

THE following are choice extracts
from the old Know Nothing speeches
of Henry Wilson, in Massachusetts, in
1854. We don't think past records will
be of any account In this election, but
as matter of history we give these
excertpts;
'"The time has come when the uni
form of the State militia should no
longer he disgraced by being seen on
the back Of Catholic Irishman or in
fidel Dutchman."
"By the light of their burning shan
ties the Teuton and Celt may read the
certain doom that will overtake them
in their attempt to compete with the
native-born Americans for political
supremacy on this continent"

Grant's Truthfulness.

Mr. Grants memory Is OF the poorest
possible quality. Henever can depend
On II especially when the remembrance
ofany particulel deed of his own, would
be productivnAf { discomfort. Senator
Schurz in his recent st. Louis speech
stated that at tho time when the Santo
Domingo scheme was on the carpet, he
was approached by certain prominent
men who offered him any amount of
patronage in return for his support of
the bill; and this offer was made with
tho knowledge and consent ofthe Presi'
dent. OF course Grant denied it and
challenged She Senator to produce his
authority. The following letter from
Gen. Alfred Pleasonton formerly Com.
missioner Of Internal Revenue written
to Mr.. Schurz will need no explana
tion.
NEW York, July %, 1872.
DEAR FRIEND: OF course have ne
objection to you giving my name to the
public in explanation of the facts. ]
would say that being friend of the
President, as well as of yourself, i de-
sired that you should be on good terms,
and you should understand that there
was no personal feeling in the way OF
relations mutually satisfactory. Your
statement is correct that the President
wanted your support for his Santo Do
mingo scheme, and that you could have
had the patronage of the Government
for giving it.
That was the distinct impression the
Presidents conversation made upon my
mind, and communicated it to you at
the time. If the President positively
denies having had any such converse.
tion, regret 1t. may console myself
with the reflection that this is the first
time that any statement of mine has
been questioned, while the President
has had occasion before this to distrust
the accuracy of his recollections.
Truly Yours, A. PLEAsoNToN.,
