POking Fun at a Railroad.

Mr.. Derrick Dood writes as follows
to the Washington Capitol about the
branch railroad between Baltimore
and the capitol:
But about this railroad. OF course
want it abolished, every one does.
The reckless velocity with which the
trains are run between Baltimore is
absolutely frightful. | was delighted
years ago when this road was .estab-
lished, because thought we had got
rid of the old rickety and dangerously
fast stage coaches, but the speed they
are beginning to run the trains on
this road is worse yet. Now, every
one knows that Baltimore is forty
miles from Washington if it is an inch,
and three days and a half is plenty
quick enough for the trip, but the
managers have already reduced the
schedule time to three days and four
hours, and what with making the en-
CINE fires too hot, and racing with
cows along the road, and all that, the
conductors are even cutting that time
down.
Why, it was only the other day, on
the down trip, we happened to spy
old Simm's mule about two miles out
of town. What should the reckless
wretch of an engineer do but clap on
fill steam and race every foot of the
way into the district. We didn't ex-
actly pass the mule, but caught mp to
him twice, and came into the depot
neck and neck, and which was putting
the most, the mule or the engine, you
couldn't have told to save Your life.
Now, it was all very exciting and all

The New York TribHae SAYS that
Mr.. Greeley's private correspondence
3ias become SO voluminous since his
nomination by the CINCINNATI Conyen-
sion that he finds it impossible to an
swer the letters he receives: and since
he can not make invidious diStinc-
tions between his correspondents,
they will understand that no otfense is
intended if he does not reply to their
kind missives.

1t is rumored that Hon. c. /. Cobb,
of North Carolina, who has been in
tensely loyal to Grant, has renounced
Radicalism, and will in few days
declare for Greeley and the Cincin-

that he will be Liberal Republican

A dispatch, dated Washington,
July 80, says a letter from Senator
Sumner to the colored people has
been published. It was written N
reply to a communication addressed
to him, by a number of colored cit
liens who regard him as the purest
and best friend of their race, and
who seek his advice as to which of
the two presidential candidates will
be the proper person for them to
vote for. After a lengthy review of
the records of the two, he concludes,
as follows:
Speaking for himself he says his
vote will be given for Horace Gree
ley, and in giving 1t he does not go
to the Democratic party nor Is he
any the less a Republican. In con-
clusion. he unhesitatingly advises
his colored fe4low-citiZens to support
Greeley and Brown as true Repub
Leans and friends to their race"
The Daily state register. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1870-1872, 1872-08-01

Radical papers now seem to have
great love and respect for old Bed
rock Democrats" and try to beguile
them into the belief that they must
oppose Greeley and Brown if they
wish to keep their records clear and
live in the future as jewels of con
sistency. These journals are simply
Intermediates. and will be treated
as such by every thinking man.
Their advice in any matter in which
the welfare of the Democratic party
is concerned, can only be looked
upon as the advice of an enemy
which wishes to ensnare those whom
it dislikes hat it may the more effect
ually destroy them.

OR GRANT.

Considering the political sltua-
ton as it is and with Horace Gree
ley as the recognized candidate OF the
Democratic party, there is but left
the last resort to Democrats, and the
people in general, of choosing be-
tween Greeley and Grant. There
will be no other Democratic Nation
al Convention. and consequently no
other candidates for the Presidency
than those already nominated at
Baltimore. The talked of Conven-
ton which was to have been held at
Louisville, received a damper that
precludes the idea of its ever as
sembling, in the action of Senator
Bavard, in declaring in favor OF
Greeley; and the later declaration OF
voorhees,, of Indiana. representing
as he does the only element OF the
party in the West that would object
to Greeley, IN support OF the Daltl-
more nominees, goes to show that
tie contemplated bolt has fallen to-
the ground never to be galvanized
Into lie again. With this failure
ends all possibility Of there being a
third ticket in the field, and satisfies
all that the contest is to be conduct
ed between the candidates alone
whose names constitute the caption
Ct this article. Between them lies
the question of choice, and their res
Dective recommendations to the
Office for which they have been
nominated must be considered.

INTERESTING OPINIONS.

It is interesting to read the ex-
pressions of opinion made by lead
ing Radicals at different times, and
note how fully they have been in &C
cord with one another. About a
year ago Forney said: "No man can
hold office under Grant and main
tain self-respect." Stanton. dying,
spoke Of him thus: He is nCt'fit to
govern this country" and General
Hooker re-echoed the sentiment ex-
pressed by the Secretary by saying:
Grant has no more capability than
a horse Colfax. the Smiler, wrote
in 1868 that, There are sixteen
weighty reasons why Grant should
never be President" One of the
reasons. as stated by Senator Car
penter, is He is making money out
of his position, and that's all he
cares about it," Trumbull repeated
another by declaring, He is not
controlled by constitutional law, but
by political rings another was
told by Governor Palmer, who said:
His San Domingo business
stamps him as a tirst-class con
~spirator; and stillanother was spoken
by Logan, in 1869, when h~easserted,
He is a man without sufficient
knowledge to preside over a eau

the others by saying, He has no
more soul than a dog"

The Japan Herald, in an article res
pecting the Mikado, gives some inter
eSting facts connected with his his
tory. He was born in 1852. He Il .
sumed the title of Prince in 1860. He
assembled the throne III 1868. BY Jap
reckoning he is p Years of age.
1t is claimed that his pedigree can | e
traced back 122 generations, extending
over a period of 1000 years. If these
statements are correct, the Japan dv-
nasty is the oldest on the face of the
globe. It is just double the age Of the
British kingdom.

The S. F. Examiner says; the or.
gans of the Administration are making
a great flourish about its Indian pol
icy. Let us make a little contrast
between n year of Andrew John
sons Administration and one year Of
his successors. In 1868, the last
year of Mr.. Johnson's Administra-
ton, the Indian service cost $685.
354. In 1871. the third year of Gen.
Grants Administration, this same
service cost S7,426, 1877. This is an
other brilliant example of the econ
omy of the present Administration.
There was far more trouble with the
Indians last year than in 1868. The
fact is, Grants Indian policy or i'm
policy has increased the middle, en-
larged the expenditure, enriched the
Indian ring" and added to the
dangers of the border settlers.

The Enterprise, Of Yesterday morn

! Inc Enterprise, OF yesterday morn
ing, says:
We yesterday had the pleasure of
meeting j. C.. Cutting, the pioneer
sheep man of Nevada. When he
first brought sheep t. Nevada old
Californians said he was crazy to try
to keep sheep in such a country as
Nevada. He told them thai they did
not understand the countrv: that it
was a better country for sheep than
California, and that they would soon
be obliged to acknowledge the fact.
Since going into the business Mr.. Cut
ting has had from 1000 to 10000 head
of sheep, and says his losses by dis
easees has been almost nothing. He
now has a flock of 400 head OF Cal
ifOrnia sheep of the best blood on L
ranch within four miles of Lake Big
Ter, and will keep them there at no
more expense to him than the wages
of two herders until the first snow OF
Winter sets in. Mr.. Cutting has dem
onStrated that there can be no
profitable business than is sheep rails
ing in Nevada. He sells his wool Al
forty cents a pound, and the average
of his last shearing was five pound,
and ten ounces per sheep. He is now
offered 81 30 for last Springs lambs,
hut hesitates about selling them as he
thinks the wool they will produce
will be of twice the value of The car
cases.

General Grant, says an exchange, IS
reported to be mourning over the fact
that Congress did not extend the ku
