"He was ashamed of his poor old
mother and father. because we were in
poverty, and has never written US letter
since he changed his name to Henry
Wilson," said Senator Wilson's mother,
when asked to explain his conduct.
Gen. Grant is away upon Northern
furlough. Public duties weigh SO heavily
upon him that his people are kindly dis
posed to vote him q furlough for the rest
OF his life.
If the North Carolina election does
not settle Mr.. Thomas Settle, the Chi

little circumstance that he was appointed
Minister to Peru in 1871, and drow his
salary of $4,000 without leaving home.
A very proper person to preside over the
Philadelphia Convention.
Seventy-seven Liberal Republicans of
Hillsdale County, Mich, all of whom
supported Grant in 1868, have issued q

1ihon's Golden Aqe.
VIM. nj. Coleman, who was elected by
the Republicans of North Carolina At
ney-General OF that State in 1868,
has just declared for Greeley, and his
example will be followed by hundreds of
the most prominent citizens. A promi-
nent North Carolina Liberal says that
there is no doubt of large Greeley ma
jority in that State in November.
Mr.. Henry Wilson thinks it passing
strange that Liberals can forgive all the
misdeeds Of Democrats and rebels, but
cannot forgive any of the trifling little
mistakes and misdoings of Gen. Grant.
There is nothing particularly wonderful
about the matter. The prodigal was not
forgiven until he repented and came
home. Let Gen. Grant reform, turn his
incompetent and dishonest relatives out
OF office, dismiss every unworthy and
incompetent officer, break up the rings
which are running the nation, see that
every fraud is punished, aud the Govern
ment is administered for the nations
benefit instead of his own, and then do
as these rebels and Democrats have done,
put himself squarely upon the Cincin-
natl platform and declare himself for
Mr.. Greeley. and the country will for
give his manifold offences, and honor
him for his last victory and his greatest,
the victory over himself.

wonderful that Southerners look some.

THE ARGUMENT FOR THE CoLoRED MAN.
The persuasive sty in which the colored
people in the Southern States are talked
