The World on General Grant.

In 1868 the New York World
which is sound Democratic authori,
ty, spoke as follows of Gen. Grant f:
''Of the stcadiness and staunch-
ness of Gen. Grants patriotism. of
the uprightness and solidity of his
character no man in this country
doubts or affects to doubt. On the
score of loyalty and solid public
services, no man in the country can
come in competition with this illus
trious soldier. The Presidency can
be nothing to him; he has a more
valuable Office. But if. in the hands
Of Providence, he could be an in
strument for tranquilizing the coun-
try, that is an honor for which he
could afford to sacrifice ease, congo
nial pursuits, and the possibilities of
still greater fame as a soldier. As
Washington was elected and re
elected on the strength of his char
acter and services, without pledge
either asked or given, we trust that
Grant will be elected in the same
way. Having restored the authori-
ty of the government, we hope he
may add the highest military name
by restoring long lost cordiality of
feeling.

Pennsylvania Central.

The New York Evening Post
gives resume Of the recent acquire
ments of the above company, and
sums up as follows:
"It owns the road to Cincinnati
by way of Columbus, then a line
from Columbus to Luisville, con-
trolls a line from St. Louis, and an
other from Columbus by way OF
Logansport to Chicago; also the
Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chicago,
direct to Chicago, the Cleveland Il
Pittsburg, and the Erie & Pittsburg
road to Erie. These varions lines
with their branches to Washington,
Pennsylvania, and Muskingum Val
ley road, ann their branches from
the several main lines, now aggre-
gate over thirty-two hundred miles
of road, all connected, and all
equipped. These when added to the
line controlled by the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company east of Pittsburg,
embracing 1884 miles, makes a
grand aggregate of about 4, GOO
miles all connected, equipped, and
managed under one interest, the
Pennsylvania Railroad"

The hostility between Greeley and
the New York Tammany Ring was
never very serious, and only ap-
peared so when the ring was over
thrown. Now they have kissed and
made friends, and the leading mem
bers of the Tammany Ring are not
only working for the endorsement of
Greeley at Baltimore, but have re-
vived the organization they made
infamous, for the purpose of better
serving his designs. The Tribune
just prev )us to the Cincinnati Con-
vention, opened its batteries on the
almost equally infamous Brooklyn
Ring, which is upheld by the Brook
lyn Eagle, edited by Mr.. Kinsella.
Suddenly the Tribune was struck
dumb on the matter of Brooklyn
municipal frauds, and by a curious
coincidence Mr.. Kinsella became
suddenly voluable in his advocacy of
Mr.. Greeley as the Democratic can
didate. The World now prints the
rumor that Mr.. Kinsella is to lie
brought out as the next Democrat
ic candidate for Governor, and that
the Greeley forces are to give him
their support. What a simple
minded, honest philosopher Horace
is cleveland Herald.

Should the Democracy triumph in
the next presidential election, even
with Greeley at their head, what
would be the result? Let Greeley
himself answer the question. He
says:
ga Democratic national triumph
means restoration to power of
those who deserted their places un-
der the last Democratic President to
plunge the country iu the Red Sea
of secession and rebellion. Though
you paint an inch thick, to this COM
plexion you must come at last. The
brain, the heart, the soul of the pres
ent Democratic party is the rebel
element at the South, with its North
ern allies and sympathizers."
That was true W hen it was uttered,
and is not less true now even with
the author of it at the head of the
party.

1t is reported by grApevine that
Greeley met with quite serious &C
cident last week. Having received
notice of the approach of a delega-
ton, Mr., Greeley lung his Ak over
his shoulder, and started out to en-
gage in wood chopping, as usual on
such occasions Mounting a step
ladder, kept for the purpose, he sue
ceeded in pearching himself on1 a
limb. which he began hacking in a
vigorous manner. BY the time the
delegation arrived Mr., Greeley had
got himself into a fine perspiration,
and about the same time the ampu-
tated limb Of the tree came crashing g
down with Mr.. Greeley helplessly
straddling it, Upon investigationit it
turned out the preposterous old fool
had set down on the outer end ofthe
limb, and cut it off between him and
the tree. And that is all he knows
about farming.-O. S. Journal.

Grant Vindicated .

The New York Evening Post IAN
ii Grant, does simple justice to the
great soldier in the following:
"a Greeley organ of the North
west carries on the campaign after
this fashion:
"'During the war Greeley made
patriots and enlisted troops; Grant
led them to death or victory. Gree
ley, with his pen, called volunteers
from the hillside and the vale; Grant
planted them in the Wilderness, on
the James and before Petersburg
"Whatever we may think and say
of Grant as q civilian, we are free to
remember his service as a soldier,
and to protest against this method
of conducting a campaign against
him. He had earned and he deserv-
ed the gratitude of the people for
his services as soldier, and so far
as human foresight could predict
there would be at this moment two
separate governments within the
limits of the United States, with
chattle slavery as the distinguishing
Characteristic of one of them, had
not General Grant made an advance
upon Richmond when he did, and as
he did, and finished the war by his
capture Of Lees army. There was
not another general in the Union
service, probably, who would not
have believed himself whipped on
any of the first three days of that
campaign, and have acted accord
ingly; and humanity speaking, the
want offsuccess that Summer would
have seen the end of the war, the
destruction of the Union and the
triumph of the Confederacy."

The Democratic National Conven-
ton assembled at Baltimore on
Tuesday and yesterday. nomininated
Greeley and Brown on the first bal
lot.
Mr. Greeley is therefore the regu-
lar nominee and standard bearer OF
the Democratic party.
If the contest in which he has en-
gagged don't consign him to an igno-
minious political grave, we are much
mistaken.

Columbus and Toledo.

The enthusiasm along the line OF
the projected Columbus and Toledo
railroad appears TO be on the increase.
The papers at the several points on
each of the rival routes are "writing
up" the project with an earnestness
that indicates lively work and the
"bottom dollar" when the time comes
for raising the ducats. This city,
of course, will net pledee itself to
either route; it is not necessary nor
would it be proper for it to do so I;
it will leave the question of route to
be settled by those more interested
in that particular-O. S. Journal.

LYNCH LAW IN MERCER
COUNTY.
The Secore Murderers Taken by q
Band of 1000.

Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette.
WAPAKoNETA, o., July s.
From Mr.. Perwessells, the Record
er of Mercer County, we learn the
following:
At an early hour this morning il
was apparent that unusual excitement
prevailed in the quiet and peaceful
village of Celina. Country people
were seen to straggle in town as
early as 4 o'clock, and as dawn ap-
preached they came in squads
mounted, on foot, and in wagons and
carriages until, at 10 o'clock, three
thousand people had gathered to.
gether from all quarters of the coun-
try. This was the confirmation of
the whispered threats of meeting out
summary justice to the inhuman
fiends who were proved guilty OF
having outraged the person and ia
ken the life of Miss Belle Secore.
The Citizens surrounded the Jail,
took forcible possession of the jailer
dispossessed HIM fthe keys, carried
the prisoners, Jacob Kimble, Absa-
lom Kimble, brothers, and Alexander
AcCloud from their sells to a wagon
strongly guarded, and moved off In
procession, announcing their deter
mination of taking the prisoners to
the Kimble farm, IL miles distant,
and there, within sight of the spot
where two weeks ago they commit
ted the horrible murder, they will
proceed to execute the sentence pro
nounced by an outraged community.
The procession was quiet and order
ly, and moved off under the guidance
of men who will not return to their
homes until the base wretches who
have wrought such misery and terror
in the community shall have paid
the penalty of their lives.
Your correspondent leaves to-
night for the gibbet to CLEAN further
particulars.
LATER.
Two of the murderers were hang
ed. and the other, Jacob Kimmel,
remains in Jail.

A Card From Collector Nixon.

A Card From Collector Nixon.
UNITED STATES INTERNATIONAL REV
ENUE, CoLLEcToR's OFFICE, SIXTH
DISTRICT, KY,
Cov1NGToN, June Is, 1872.
To the editor of the Commercial:
1 have just had my attention
called to an editorial in the Com.
mercial of the 11th, inst, contain
ing the following:
"The collector Fof the Internal
Revenue in the Covington Dis
trict, Mr.. Nixon, owes his official
position solely TO his friendly rela-
tions to the Grant family. He is
the lawyer of the old gentleman, and
the reported author of the famous
sketches published in Bonner's Ledg.
er, and purporting to have been
written by Jesse r. Grant, giving an
account of his sons life and adven-
lures as boy"
AS this statement has been re.
peated in your paper so often, il
must evidently be considered mat
ter of some consequence. / will,
therefore, say for your information,
that 1 never wrote one word of the
'sketches" alluded to; that l never
saw them or heard of them until ]
saw them in print; that I have read
only such quotations from them as
were printed in the Cincinnati papers
never having been subscriber &C
the Ledger or reader of it. l do
not know who wrote the Sketches >
but have been told it was a gentle
man connected with the Ledger
newspaper.
The other sneering illusions o.
the editorial to myself, ] do mo-
care TO notice. I was appointed
Collector of this District in 1868 By
Mr.. Lincoln, and discharged the du.
ties of the office, I believe, accept
ably to my superior officers in the
Treasury Department until removed
by A. johnson in 1866. I have
never even heard that anything was
ever alleged against my ability OIL
integrity. was appointed to the
same Office by President Grant il
March, 1869, without being an appli
cant.

Henry Ward Beecher writes thus
in the last number of the Christian
Union: GAS for ourselves, we stand
by our colors-Grant and Wilson,
and the old Republican party, which
has been bred and proved in stormy
days, when the whole nation leaned
upon it and found it q sure support.
1t went through the fire and the
flood to save our country. We do
not believe that the common people
of America are ready to throw
away an old servant, and put in its
place a party whose whole strength
lies in the adhesion to it of the very
man whom the Republican party has
fought to before, at Shiloh, at Vicks
burg, at Gettyburg, and aroul d
Richmond. They tried to take
Washington several times before.
They could not do it by bullets, and
we do not intend that they shall by
ballots. This country is not pre-
pared to pass the government into
the hands of that party which has
for fifteen years done nothing bi
fight those laws and that policy
which they hope soon to construe
and administer. 1t is not even pre-:
tended that the rank and file of the
Democratic party have been con-
verted to those ideas for which the
whole war was waged. They have
changed :heir policy, but not their
convictions. They will 60 to Wash
ington as Liberal Republicans. but
once there will throw off the odious
name, and stand forth cut and out
Democrats. The ole questions are
not settled. 1t is not likely that
any party will attempt to overflow
the constitutional amedments. But
law may be made nugatory with
out abolishing it. The spirit of an
administration may neutralize COR
stitutional provision without attack
ing its letter. e..,
