Grants AdministratIon - Chestham
and JohnsOn-COnvent1O
To the Editor OF the Union and American:
Gen. Quarles this evening addressed the
people of this city at the courthouse.
Quite large and very intelligent audience
was present. It was composed of citizens
from nearly all parts of the county, and the
manner In which the General commanded
the attention of his hearers showed an APP
probation and interest seldom obtained by
any public speaker here. He told us how,
without becoming Republicans, we could
take Greeley and Brown as our standard
bearers although they were not Democrats.
His reasoning was 50 plain that the wayfar-
ing man readily understood how abandon
ing the dead issue of slavery, which made
Horace Greeley our bitter enemy In the
past, we could under the Constitution unite
with him as a brother upon the great ques-
ton of local selfsoVernment without
abandoning single principle OF true De-
mocracy.
The General spoke at length; be arraign-
ed the administration for its corruption,
its Capitalization, and its violation of the
fundamental law Of the land-the Consti-
tuition. His philippe was powerful and con-
vincing. Finding that the hearts Of all q
may say were with him on the question
ef the Presidency, be alluded to the contest
between our gallant leader Cheatham and
the great ex-Pnesldent. After showing that
the latter had been elevated to nearly every
| Office he had held by Conventions, he pre-
sented him now as bOlter from nearly as
respectable Convention as has ever been
| held in the State, and showed him In the
bold light of dlsorganlzer. He stated
that he would rather have honest old Frank
| Cheatham, with his hard, good sense, to
| represent him in Congress than any man
he knew In the State, be his mind so great
| that he could number the stars or unveil
| the mysteries OF the great deep.
He defended the convention system for
want of better. The primary election
system he showed by the examples of his
! own and the Memphis district TO be a fail
ure, calculated only to engender war In ouI
own ranks, and bitter personal feelings
He gave us the history Of conventions bOtI
National aud State, showing that from the
! days of Jackson they have been the instl u.
ments of party nominations, both State ant
Federal. He begged the true people Of the
| State not to disorganize and be beaten II

Con. EgenInnain Alyord.

We find the following interesting
sketch In the Burlington Free Press, Of
Gen. Benjamin Alvord, now acting Pay
master-Gencral Of the United States
Army, which be full of interest to his
many friends in this community.
This distinguished Vcrmonter seems
TO be too modest to push his own for
tunes. On the 3D. of March, 1869, law
wass passed by Congress forbidding pro-
motion in the Staff Of the Army. A
singular law, and a most inoppoFtunc
time to pass it, one day before the in
auguration of General Grant On the LIST
of January, 1872, B. W. Brice, Paymas-
ter General L. S. A., was retired and
General Alvord, a chief paymaster, was
ordered to Washington To take his place
1t is understood that General Alvord
was ordered 10 Washington by Presi-
dent Grant, directly. the President well
knowing the sterling character of Gen
eral Alvord, having served under Chem
Captain Alvord in the Mexican war
During the first week i'm January last.
Senator Wilson, Chairman Of the Senate
Military Committee. introduced a bill
repeating the law OF March ,, 1869, and
authorizing the President to appoint a
Paymaster-General." But the said bill
slumbers in some dusty pigcon-hole in
the Military Committee room, leaving
one OF the most Important bureaus of
the Government headless which must
tend to its decentralization Where is
the hitch We give il up
General Alvord was born and reared
in Rutland; graduated from West Point
with distinguished honor and his name
among army officers (Unclc Benz is a
synonym for mtarnished honor and
stainless integrity Distinguished for
scientific attainment and mathematical
ability, he seems publicly fitted for the
Paymaster- Gencralsllip. We state Incl
dentally that he >ympathizes with the
Republican party, Though he being a
VermOntor is MOTTO blame for IT'D which
makes him a ''rara avis in the Paymas-
ter's corps. We understand that he con
templates reform in the methods of the
Pay Department, which will render i'm
possible the recurrence of that half mill
lion defalcations of the Democratic
Hodge. Give hima chance, say we. and
that right speedily.

asks: lis the party that produced

in an emphatic No.
The Providence journal is right in
saying, New Hampshire's Straw has
shown us the way the wind blows in the
! Granite State, sweeping away Copper
heads, passivists, and other chaff that
numbered the political field
The Boston Transcript says THE
result of the New Hampshire election
again proves that factions don't prosper
under a government by the people and
for the people, and where the people
collectively know how to provide for all
interests"
- The Rochester Democrat says;
Horace Greeley recently wrote let

the monosyllable No. Thirty years ago,
it is said, he received more such letters
than any other man, and he thought
them neither pleasant nor polite.

mileage for that additional distance.

The Boston .idrertjser says: The
verdict Of NeH Hampshire is for the
Administration and against those who
oppose it, and every New England State
will give like verdict when their time
comes The free trade league
appeared on the ground. The
attack was unfairly made, but it was
promptly accepted, and the friends of
protection have certainly no reason to
complain of the results.
The Boston Post comments upon
the result Of the New Hampshire cleo
tion thus Taken from every side the
present result might have been conced-
ed without much doubt some time be
fore it was reached, for the Administra-
ton was determined to wipe out it, de
feat of last year if it were possible. An
United States Senator was of too much
value for it to neglect the chance to win
it by the employment of every means
within its reach. The undismayed De
mocracy live to fight their enemy ano-
Their day.
Senator Wilson delivered the open
ing speech of the campaign at New Ha-
ven. last evening, to an immense audi
ence. His speech was an able argu-
ment, and every allusion to President
Grant was received with deafening ap-
plause.

MARYLAND Tragedy--Wysterio
Death.

According to dispatch from Balti-
more, a few neighbors called at the
house of BIr Arnold in Frederick
county, Maryland, on Sunday evening,
and were surprised that no one came to
the door to admit them as usual. Con
scious that the family had not left the
house they listened and the faint cry
Of a child convinced them that some
thing was wrong. They subsequently
gained admittance by force, and were
horror stricken on beholding the mother
IN the last agonies of death and her five
children speechless and insensible. 1t
Is supposed they had drank some tea
which had been poisoned, and the
death Of the mother shortly after the
discovery would seem to indicate some
theory

Never mind what man or measure

You must not forego the pleasure,
Every time, of cusSin' Grant.
After Opposition favor
Would YOU cringe or run and pant :
Doesn't matter whether knave or
Honest man, just cuss at Grant.
And lCheH cussin' do it hearty!

WHAT SPRING BRINGS WITH II.
Regarded from a medical standpoint.
Spring is not the delectable season de-
scribed by vernal poets. On the contrary,
its yield of intermittent fevers, bilious at
tacks, rheumatic pains, disorders of the
stomach, nervous complaints, and pulmO-
nary diseases, is almost as large as its crop
OF viOlets, snowdrops and cherry blossoms.
The invisible seeds of innumeIable mala-
dies rise with the morning mists, and are
scattered broadcast by the vapors Of night.
Who can resist taeir mephitic influence.
Certainly not the weak by nature. or those
whose nervous energies have been over
taSked by mental or physical labor, unless
they tone and invigOrate Their systems and
thus enable them to cope with the ureal-
thy influences by which they are sur
rounded.
The only medicinal agent by which this
object can be rapidly and safely accom-
plished, is the great vegetable renOyant
and invigoFant, HOstctter's Stomach Bit
tiers. The operation of this celebrated
specific is fOur-fOld. 1t strengthens the di-
gestive organs. regulates the secretiOns,
improves the condition of the blood, su-
perinduceS q regular habit of body, aud
thereby impartS such VigOr ana elasticity
to the whole physical structure, as to rem
der ii capable OF resisting the action OF the
poisonous miasma, with which the spring
atmosphere is always to some extent i'm
pregnated. HcJe, then, IS a ready and
prevalent ut this season, or III they have
already fastened on the SYSTEM OF CON
quering them speedily aud thoroughly.
The flavor of q medicine Is not Of much
consequence, provided il does its work
properly, but of HOSteeter's Bitters il may
be fairly said, that they effect cure with
out outraging the patients sense Of taste.
The Justice of The Verdict rendered by
the public years ago in favor of the MeNi-
can Mustang Linimcnt must he apparent
to all who have used that famous prepare
ton or seen il used. It's healing influence
is irresistible. The most obstinate forms
ofneuralgic or rheumatic disease are total
lycured by it,and that in an inconceivably
short space of time. External injuries OF
sores, whether Of man OF beast. as well as
all equine or human maIadies for which a
hnimen may be used, are speedily remed-
led by its use. Remember II is not merely
a palliative but an eradicant of disease.
