"A IsissERAt MIsrAaE.-The Liber.
ais have made mistake in counting on
any considerable vote from the colored
citizens. That vote will be nearly solid
for Grant, and it will make a great
difference in all tho Southern States.

e@tefned soldiers of Green county, Ind,

SON., ~
KESTUcKY.-Charles A. Blankenil,
blacksmith Of Washington, Kentucky,
was terribly scourged by the Ku Klux
some time ago. He accused one Jones
OF hand in the outrage. Last week
Jones rode up in front of Blankenil's s
shop and fired five shots of revolver at
the latter, -four of which took fatal
effect. The particulars are furnished
by a Kentucky Greeley paper which
pronounces Joues "whcn sober good
citizen"
THEN AND How.-Horacc Greeley
wrote ! in 1868 as follows: eve do
business in a.city governed by carpet
e baggers only just over from Cork,
Limerick and Sauer Krautenthal The
differences between our carpet-baggers
from Europe and those with which the
rebellious Hamptons are afflicted, is that
ours are generally as deficient in meutal
aud moral cultivation as in property
We believe most Of the Southern carpet
baggcrs have at least made the acquaint-
ance of the schoolmasters."
TENNEssEE.-The Knoxville Chrot-
seal says: at is becoming more aud
more apparent every day that the people
of Tennessee are growing dissatisfied
with the political monstrosity, heretofore
known as the Democratic party. There
= - Iale9 thousands Of men in the State, who
AN by force of circumstances have tbecu oou
strained TO act with it, who in their hearts
would sincerely rejoice at its overthrow +,
aud would take great pleasure in its con
slSpment to everlasting oblivion. The
time cannot be far distant, when this
State will discard the party"
sass HeRsAcR DESCRIBES HIS FRIENDS
Mr. Greeley, before he became the Tam
many candidate, wrote as follows of some
of those whose aid he seeks. He said !:
Nov Virginia planter, yithsa straw
hal gupon his head aud a cat-o-nfne tails
in his hand and linen coat upon his
back, with his mouth full Of blasphemy
and tobacco, with one wife at home in
the great house aud score or two of
concubines in the ,,little huts, if he did
descend from ancestors without shame
and without reproach, has made indeed
"a descent most decided and most fearful"
HoRAcE's FRANKS. While 'shonest"
DR. Greeley vociferates about the abuses
OF the franking privilege, just see what
his. wicked committeeman are doing be-
sts hind, his back ! In the rooms at the
capitol, at Washington, where the COM
niittee does its work, there are a hun
dred. boys employed folding campaign
documents On the 18th instant, says
the Washiuton Croni'c7e, they loaded no
less than 10000 copies of the Tribune
into the mails. These documents were
all franked, aud the franks were affixed
- BY. clerks. A correspondent Of the
- Chronicle says the cost to the govern
ment of distributing the Greeley camp
aign doepmenta under forged franks is
+. $4,000 a week, as the department has
to pay special rates for mail matter
above certain amount. And all this
while DIR. Greeley is wandering about
like an innocent old lamb, gamboling
with the "friends of his boyhood 2 and
bleatiag about reform"
