All for Grant.

Among the places touched upon by Mr..
Greeley during his recent tour through the
coal regions of Pennsylvania, was Berwick.
The crowd was all for Grant 1t was not
large, but it was resolute and fully prepared
to resist any arguments Mr.. Greeley might
advance. They had ahuge sign-board tackled
on the depot with the words:
'SThis is not the road to Washington
"Hurrah for Grant, Salt River for Greeleyl"
and other diseouraging symbols; and from
some cause or other the train stopped at
this place, and Uncle Horace, says CORES
pondent, mechanically rose from his news
paper, rubbed his spectaeles and strobe out.
With one swift glance at the unfriendly
faces, he commenced short address on
peace and harmony, but right in the middle
of a sentence the special train, which had no
business to do but wait for Mr.. Greeley's
pleasure, moved off, and before the Philoso-
pher could round his somewhat complicated
sentence, To- he was whirIng along in the
mountains, while the dumbfounded Berwick
ers, relieved from the syren influence of his
words, were cheering for Grant and Wilson.

Fred. Douglass

Was one of the speakersat the great Repub-
ican meeting held in Cooper Institute last
week. In the course of his remarks Mr..
Douglass said:
81 have an appeal to make to you on be-
half of my race. There are millions OF
them who are tonight like chickens under a
fence when the scream of the hawk is
heard in the air. In this anxious state they
are afraid of the shadow-of the adumbra-
ton of the possibility of the reinstatement
of the old master-class to power in the
Southern States, and am here tonight to
ask you for four years more of the benef-
cent rule of the Republican Party, and
four years more of the steady, unimpassioned,
eagle-eyed, clear, steady, frm-nerved little
man-Ulysses S. Grant. Enthusiastic ap-
plause. When you felt the earth crumbling
beneath your feet, when the fate of the Re-
public trembled in the balance, oh, then in
your extremity, you called upon the black
man to reach out his iron arm. [Applause7
and they came 100000 strong; and from
that hour the tide of battle turned. We
don't say we put down the rebellion, but we
helped to put it down, and SO incurred the
heavy displeasure of the master class at the
South And that displeasure is not now
passed. We are unable to meet it without
your help. The only thing that stops the
bloody arm of the Ku-Klux tonight is Ulys.

The Political Revolution.

The 5th of October decided the Presiden-
tial campaign, and every unprejudieed OBJ
server must allow that on the 5th of Novem-
Der General Grant will be triumphantly
reelected In view of this indisputable
fact an important political revolution is go
ing forward. On the day after the election
the chiefs and principal men of the New York
Tammany Association held a meeting and
came to the resolution of devoting their in
dividual energies to the success of the State
and local tickets, and to leave the Presiden-
tial ticket to its fate. Quite a number of
Greeley speakers, who had been engaged,
were stricken from the roll, as superfuous.
The overwhelming majority in Pennsylvania
has also decided the fate of New York, which
will now, beyond doubt, go Republican.
1t is remarkable, too, that in New York
several Greeley and Brown Clubs have been
turned into Grant and Wilson organizations.
Two clubs in the Eighteenth and Twentieth
Wards have already undergone the transfor-
nation, and there is a prospect that several
more will follow in their wake.

One good effect of the late elections
is the assurance of the final suppression
of the dreaded Ku-KIux. The organiza-
ton of these bands of maurauders,
whose atrocities, according to the state
ment in court by one of their own at
torneys, Reverdy Johnson, were dis
grace to humanity and too horrible to
be recited, must now cease, never again
to be known. The people long since de-
creed the equal rights of all and protec-
ton to the peaceable citizen, to life and
his liberty, and in the enjoyment of his
property, and by their late votes they
have said that this decree is final and
Interchangeable. The Ku-Klux and the
whole people of the Southern States
will understand this to be one of the in
tended lessons of the elections.

A Glimpse of the Next World.

Mrs. Gardiner, wife of farmer living
near Eastmanyille, Ottawa county, died re-
Gently under circumstances the most extra
ordinary. Two of her sisters were dead,
one recently, but few weeks ago. The
cause of Mrs. Gardeners death was a con-
gestive chill, and after she had been con-
sidered dead for six hours and was being
prepared for the grave she returned to con-
sciousness, and talked freely with her at
tendants. She stated to those around her
that she had been to the better land and
seen both of her departed sisters, with other
friends; that it was a most beautiful land
beyond all description! She said that she
had permission to return and tell her living
friends what she had seen, but that she was
anxious to return again. She passed away
soon after making her statement, and SEEM
ingly overfowing with joy and happiness
There can be no question as to the circum-
stances above related. Detroit Tribune.

Il. G.'s SEVEN AGES

All the worlds stage,
And all the men and women merely players.
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man, in his time g played many parts,
His acts being seven ages.
First the infant,
Muling and pukiDg in the nurses arms:
And then the Printers Devil, with his apron
And shining, inky face, leaping unlike snail,
Right willingly to '.fat."
And then the Poet,
Signing like furnace with illegible ballad
Writ to the memory of Writ.
Then the Editor,
Full of strange oaths, and calling all men liars;
Jealous Of temper, sudden and quick of quarrel
Seeking the bubble nomination
Even of the rebel South.
And then the Farmer,
With belly round, with chicken pot-pie lined,
And hat severe and coat of rural cut,
Full of muck saws and merino instances;
And so he runs his farm.
The sixth age shifts
Into the Cincinnati nominee,
With spectacles on nose and hat on ear,
His useful boots well worn, world too wide
For his shrunk pants, while his big manly voice,
That is to say, his childish treble, pipes
And whistles at the news.
Last scene of all
Shall end this strange, eventful history;
November hopeiessness, then mere oblivion,
SANS friends, SANS power, SANS hope of any office
Missouri Democrat.

A Query

Who is elected Congressman in this Dis
trict? We all know who the candidates
were, and for whom the voters generally
supposed they were voting; and it is be-
ieved without any misgiving or doubt that
the Democratic nominee is elected but
when the whole facts are known, perhaps
some little question may be raised as to the
correctness of the conclusion. 1t is asserted
very confidently in the Democratic papers
that the Democratic nominee, Mr.. L. T.
Neal, of Ross, is elected by some 1900 ma
jority. Now, no such man, so far as appears
by the returns made to the County Clerks
Office, was voted for in Adams county
Some 1900 and odd votes were cast in this
county for L. T. Neal, for Congressman,
and SO the returns have been certified to
the Secretary of State. Now, if L. T. Neal,
voted for in Adams county, is l.. T. Neal
voted for in other counties of the District,
then L. T. Neal is elected; if not the same
person, John I. Wilson has some 400 votes
or thereabouts, more than his next highest
competitor, L. T. Neal.

"FelI the Trufh.'s

Under this caption the Louisville Ledger Demo
craticl reads lecture to those unscrupulous uarti
sans who pretend that their late disastrous defeats
in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana were brought
about by fraud. 1t says:
1t has become quite too common for the defeated
party in politics to attribute its want of success to
the frauds of the adversary-to assert that though
numbering decided majority in its ranks, this has
been oyerborne by the Illegal, forcibe, fraudulent
operations of the other side. Now, plan practical
people of common sense do not believe word of
such nonsense, as a general rule. 3. For
instance, in the districts in which the Democrats
have an unquestioned and decided majority prscti-
cal men viii be slow to believe that this majority
stood still and inert while minority, through illegal
votes or other unlawful means, swelled its strength

AnecdOte of Grant.

A correspondent of the Louisville Com
mercial says:
A volunteer soldier of the late war, with
whom I am acquainted, man of truth and
honor, who was with General Grant at
Vicksburg and other important places, tells
the following: A fop of lieutenant with a
$500 suit on his back, kicked soldier,
who, among others, was unloading boat,
but, as the lieutenant thought, was rather
slow. A communicating man, without
shoulder straps, walked up to him and in
quired of him the company and regiment to
which he belonged. He named them.
Said the man without shoulder straps, ''Go
and report yourself to your superior officer,
dismissed by order of General Grant. y
The lieutenant departed, crest-fallen, and
the General rolled up his sleeves and assist
ed the boys to unload the boat.
Wonder if that lieutenant will vote fol
Greeley? That same soldier assures us
that it would require a thousand such
speeches as Summers to convince him that
President Grant is either tyrant or a thief,
or anything of that sort.

The Presidents Principles.

I would sum up the policy of the Admin
istration to be a thorough enforcement of
every law; faithful collection of the taxes
provided for; economy in the disbursement
of the same, and prompt payment of the
debt of the nation; reduction of taxes as
the requirements of the country will admit;
reduction of taxation and tariff to be SO ar
ranged as to afford the greatest relief to the
greatest number; honest and fair dealings
with all other people, to the end that war,
with all its bighting consequences, may be
avoided, without surrendering any right or
obligation due to the United States; a re-
form in the treatment of the Indians and
the whole civil service of the country; and,
finally, in securing pure, untrammeled
ballot, where every man entitled to cast q
vote, may do SO just once at each election,
without fear of molestation or prescription

A girl was married the other day
in Detroit, who was so obstinate that
she would not stand up or answer a
question, as becomes the marriage
ceremony. The parents had man
aged the affair upon the part of the
girl, and the young man supposed
she was bashful and shy, but that it
would all be right after the ceremony.
The knot was pronounced tied with
out the young lady's assistance or
consent, and directly after she sprang
to her feet, scratched her husbands
face, tore out his shirt bosom and fled
from the house, saying she repudiat-
ed the whole business. She had not
been found at last accounts, and the
young man looks rather lost, too

The venerable Gerrit Smith concludes a
letter to Horace Greeley in the following
plain words:
''No, no, my old friend, the Democratic
party is the Democratic party still. 1t re-
mains as unreconciled as ever to the ne
gro Should it again come into power
the oppression of the negro will be revived,
and the work of the war undone. But

days of the Democratic party are numbered.
With the reins in his hands four years longer,
President Grant will make a finish of Ku-

the finish of Democracy. Ku-Kluxism and
Democracy being one, will die one death,
and go into one grave"

BY virtue of the last election in Indiana
Mr.. Hendricks will be authorized, as Gov
ernor, to pardon eonvicts out of the peniten-
tiary, and commission notaries public. The
same election gives a Republican Legislature
power to elect Morton to the Senate, to pass
what laws they please for the good govern
ment of the State in spite of Hendricks
veto, transfers the treasury and all the State
offices from Democratic to Republican hands,
and insures the electoral vote for Grant

Indiana is not great.
