Assorted ChiDS.
The following texts are aptly quoted
against the great gift-taker:


Late Irish papers state that the emf
grafton the present year from Ireland to
America will greatly exceed that of
any preceding year. Whole districts
of fertile country are becoming dcpopu-
lated, and although wages have been
raised in some places to nearly equal
the rates in this country, that action
seems to have no effect. The country
now contains only about half the num-
ber of Inhabitants it did twenty five
years ago Then the population num-
bered 5000, 200; now it is less than A.
600, 900. Plenty of room here.
MIR. Belmont is undoubtedly very
rich man, but he hasn't money enough
to buy much Of an interest in the Dem
ocratic party. In a few weeks we shall
be rid of him entirely, when, we trust,
he will either do us the favor of coming
out for Grant or hanging himself; and
we don't care nickel which.
The Des Moines Republican says
that Brick Pomeroy can't swallow
Greeley. We think it makes but little
difference whether he does or not. He
never done any cause any good and
notoriety is all he is fishing for.
Mr.. Sumner says he stood by the
cradle of the Republican part, but is
not willing to follow its hearse. Let
him get out Of the hack, then, and give
us his seat. We would rather attend
that funeral than to 60 to the Boston
Jubilee
Nothing is more affecting than to
read in a newspaper edited by post
master an article copied approvingly
from newspaper edited by revenue
assessor, describing the enthusiasm for
Grant among the duputies and clerks
in his Office, and their relatives.
One of the resolutions of the Phila-
delphia platform declares it to be duty
of the General Government to encour-
age American commerce and ship build
ing. If it is duty it is one that has
been fearfully neglected by the General
Government under its present manage
ment, for the Radical policy has been
such as to stop American ship-building
and drive American commerce from the
seas. The true platform of the party
in power is its record. On that it must
stand or fall.
The Radical ticket as originally
For President, Hiram
Ulysses Grant; for Vice President,
Jeremiah Colbaith.
1t is once more currently reported
hat Mr.. Colfax is about to retire. The
action Of the Philadelphia Convention
ENDS color to the probability.
1t is reported that Grant and Wilson
are so apprehensive Of their defeat by
Greeley and Brown that they are al
ready negotiating for the purchase of
lanyard and shoe-shop on the head
waters Of the Salt river.
The Radicals in their platform say
The franking privilege ought to be
abolished. Then why have they not
abolished it during the ten years they
have been in power?
The President can't make up his
mind to remove Brother-in-law Casey
rom the New Orleans custom-house.
This comes of making man President
who has no mind to make up.
The Baltimore Gazette says of the
Hon. Thomas Settle, who presided over
the Grant Convention at Philadelphia,
that he howled for secession in 1861, |
and was afterward Confederate Major,
with reputation for duplicity that de-
Feated his ambition to command a reg
lment in which he served, and that he
changed to the winning side when the
war was drawing to close. |
The Minneapolis Tribune (owned by
a postmaster) contains the publication
Of the favorable opinions Of all the
other postmasters, of the reelection
Of Grant. The people should under
stand that, more than year ago, in
anticipation Of the event, large num-
ber Of the Republican papers were
virtually subsidized, by the appoint
ment of their conductors to lucrative
Offices, and that opinions of these gen
tlemen upou the political situation are
IF no account whatever.
Twenty-nine Minnesota editors have
substantial reasons" such as postofi-
,es, for demanding Grants rejection.
The ghastliest smile that ever Colfax
'smole"-his cha-grin at Wilson's
tion
