know how Grant loves Southern men, and
how obliging he is TO them!
1t is said, toe, that Duncan's claim
for over fifty thousand dollars against
the United States Government has m ade
greater progress toward adjustment
in few days recently, than it had made
in as many years previously. This, too,
would have looked like a genuine clasping
Of hands across the bloody chasm, had not
Duncan spOilt its beauty by denying its
truth, saying he did not have any claim of
any sort against the Government. OF

blockader, and a sportsman, when he
pledges his word.
This is a grave question, 50 grave that
we repeat it. Is Grant working in Dun

West Virginia.

The returns from the late election in this

The independent Candilate, has been re-
elected by about 2,1J0 M ajOrity, and that
the new Constitution has been ratified by
rearly equal majority, though the sup
Ilempntal clause rendering negroes incligi-

Some Of our Richmond contemporaries
were disposed at first to read our party
friends in West Nirgniaquite lecture for
having submitted to the people what they
'zera pleased to tenn E'r9actiOnary COnsti-

feat Of the regular nominees to the dead

toweyer. to Iave been premature, if not
altosef hey undeserved, for if the reports be
true, the unfortunate reactionary turns
ont to be- some 800 votes stronger than
the regular nominees.

We trust all the facts in the case " ill be

men to swallow things they do not like.
We have not, indeed, arrived at the

A MANLY UTTERANCE.

We have it upon credible authority
that Col. John McEnery, the Fusion
nominee for Governor of this State,
was interviewed by number OF
straight-out Democrats of one Of the
parishes which he has recently visited,
and asked by them if, after his cleo
ton, in consideration of being the
candidate of the Democratic party
proper, he would not make appoint
ments solely upon the recommends
tion Of Democrats. The Colonel re-
piled in effect: Gentlemen, lam the
candidate Of the Fusion party, and if
elected shall bide by the terms and
spirit Of Fusion. hope no such rec
omendation as the one you suggest
will be made to me-"
Considering the fact that Col. Nc
Emery is rs yet but candidate, whom
we would naturally suppose desir-
GUS Of conciliating and agreeing
with all classes rs nearly as possible
in order to secure their support, we

DEATH OF WILLIAM Il. SEWARD.
This distinguished statesman died
at his residence in Auburn, New York,

was prominent candidate for the
Presidency at the Republican conven-
ton held in Chicago in 1860. Abra-
ham Lincoln, the successful nominee,
aftcrward appointed him Secretary Of
State, a position which he held up to
the close of the administration of An
drew johnson. An attempt was made
to assassinate him at the same time with
Lincoln, and he suffered for many
months from injuries inflicted by the
would-be assassin. Shortly after his
retirement from office he made a tour
round the world, and had but recent
" returned to enjoy the comforts Of
home in his ripe old age, after a use
full and honorable career, when death
came and took him from among sur
rounding friends and kin bred to "the
undiscovered country from whose
bourne no traveller returns" Mr..
Stewards name is linked in an insep-
cradle manner with the history of the
Republicanparty and in remembrance
of his services he will be mourncd by
thousands the world over.
