It is remarkable that Charles O'Con-
nor, in positively and finally declining
the farcical Louisville nomination, pays
this splendid compliment to Horace
Greeley:
"Of transcendant ability and of en-
ergy unequaled, THERE IS NO ROOM
FOR COMPARISON BETWEEN HIMSELF
AND RIVAL
There are but two propositions in
O'Conor's positively the last" letter
Of declination that, with our limited
perception, We are able fully to under
stand The above is one of them, that
Greeley is transcendantly above Grant.
The other is that as to becoming a
candidate, Il must say, cannot. -

If the oft predicted Impeachment Of
Governor Z. J. DAVIS, of Texas, really
comes to pass, his State will be happily
rid of him. One of the worst features
of his case has been the aid given him
by President Grant, The most motto.
rious instance of this was in last June.
Last winter, the United States
Grand Jury indicted Davis and his
Secretary Of State, Newcomb, for
fraudulent counting of votes, and fol
giving a fraudulent certificate Of cleo.
ton to Congress to one w. T. Clark.
This certificate was rejected by the
House. Clark was unseated and was
at once made Postmaster at Galveston
by the great Civil Service Reformcr-
Giddings, whom Davis and Newcomb
counted out, was given his seat by the
House. This shows that the indict-
ments were based on truth. When
they were found, however, Davis and
Neweomb, thus charged with fraud, w.
1. Clark, for whom and by whose aid
the fraud was committed, and Senator
Flanagan, whose son, Lieutenant Gov
ernor Webster Flanagan, has just been
indicted for conspiracy to dcfraud the
United States, petitioned Grant to re-
move the United States District At
torney and Marshal, and appoint GER
tain tools of their own. AThe petition
was granted. The new Attorney
brought the accused to sham trial,
June ID, 1872. Neither witnesses nor
documents were brought forward, al
though the ex-Attorney gave his sue
cessor list Of the former and handed
him the latter. The criminals, Of
course, went scot-free. No defence OF
the Presidents conduct in thus packing
United States Courts to save carpet
baggers from the just consequences OF
their crimes Las ever been given.--

The Republican meeting at the Court
House Oh Monday evening addressed
by Hon. Z. Odell, and Hon. F. W.
Palmer was respectable in numbers and
composed of thoughtful and attentive
listeners. The meeting was opened in a
speech by Mr.. Odell, which was as fair
and honorable in sentiment toward
these who differ with him as possible,
perhaps, from his standpoint. The
manner Of delivery though was terrible.
We confess to disapp ointment. He
ought to secure a position OIL some small
farm to turn grin,lstone, it wouldn't be
20 dull and monotonous-so like his
speech. He complained of the democ-
racv and of the South because they
have both accepted the situation, but
don't want Grant with it. We had
thought when half the dogmas of
radicalism were accepted, ealso the
editor Of the leading radical paper in
the United States, as candidate for
President, it ought not to be expected
that democrats generally would desire
to 60 further, and accept Of Grant and
the thousands Of thieves he has in
every department Of the government.
The speech of MIR. Palmer was more
logical, and delivered in much better
taste, and was more tolerant, because
We suppose he having always been a
radical, didn't have to make himself
ridiculous to prove his sincerity in the
faith he protested. Accepting lis prem
Uses Is true, his conc!u sions of course
result from them.
In the course Of his remarks he told
VI a secessionist in Des Moines, who
was such all through the war, that is
now for Grant. This very Likely is true;
rebels, seeessionists, and disunionists,
generally are for Grant, directly OF in
directly. During the afternoon before
his speech we presented him the qres-
tions about the discrepancies in the
public debt statements that we have SO
often called in vain on the radical press
to explain, and asked him in the honesty
and sincerity of an acquaintance and
friendship dating back to the days of
our boyhood, to explain. The people
in attendance know whether he did SO or
not. The conversation about the dis
crepancies was not for the public and
and we refrain from giving it pub
licity.
We however renew the call On the
republican press to explain the discrep-
ancies amounting to S1G7 100000 in
the publ, debt statements, from the
samc official as given in our paper Of last
week. The cashier and book keeper of
any ofour merchants having discrep-
ancy Of only few d,iiars in his cash
balances would have to account for it
U retire; why be more lenisnt to the
fiscal agent of the public when his state
ments differ in amount more than the
entire expenses Of any administration
prior to 1860.

has denied tie charm of q pure, flesh transpar-

Magnolia Balm was Introduced. Thecosmstics
of theday had been pronounced poisonous by the
most distinguished chemists, and it was also
found that their ultimate effect was to wther
the skin as we'll as to paralize the external
nerves. The ladies hailed with delight the
advent of healthful, herbal aud floral prepar-
alton capable of imparting to their faces, necki
and arms porcelain smoothness and a tinge
like thst Of the finest oriental pearl. They
soon discover that it is 'new thing under the

questionably the MAGNOLIA BALM has been the
great toilet success of the present century.
