FARMINGroN, o., Aug. II, ~.
EDITOR CHRoNICLE.-Not seeing any
thing in your columns nom this place
for some time, we thought we would let
you know about how much Greeley stock
we had in town, and what shape it was
in. In the first place we want to rectify
a huge mistake that is going the rounds,
to the effect that quite q number OF u
e~x-soldiers were Greeley men. Now we
want to say to you and your many rea-
ders, (and we know what we are talking
about that there is but II soldier in
this town that will go back on the old
General, and that one will vote just
whatever ticket the man he happens to
work for the day before election may
give him. There are two or three, han
dred year men, or, more military speak
ing, heroes of Johnston's Island, who
call themselves soldiers, that will vote
for Greeley; but in doing so they will
have to throw away their great military
titles and step below a high private in
the rear rank, in the estimation of all
loyal people. We feel like praying for
one old sage that has turned Greeleyite,
and we can't help plying him for the
bad company he has chosen.
Engineers were through our place last
Friday, surveying another route for the
gainesville R. R. They think they have
a permanent thing of it now.

An Item For Reformers.

The Washington Chronicle says 4:
From an official letter sent by the
Secretary of the Treasury to a bank
ing house in Europe, We learn that
the per cent. of losses to the Govern
ment in the collection of internal
revenue since March 3. 1868, has been
less than one-fiftieth of m per cent.
of the amuont collected, OF less than
two dollars in ten thousand dollars.
In the collection of the customs for
the same time, the loss has been
S5SDO0 out of 1858, DOC, 900, or the one
two-hundreth part of one per cent,
or something less than five dollora in
every one hundred thousand.
The loss to depositors through our
national banking system has been
the one hundred and eighty-sixth
part of one per cent, equivalent to
five dollars and three-eights of a dol
lar in every one hundred thousand.
The money entries on the books of
the United States Treasurer, covering
the time from June 80, 1861, to Janu-
airy 8 1872, shows the handsome sum
of ffty-five thousand million dollars,
but, of this vast amount. the loss of
about ifty-fve thousand dollars, or
less than one ten-thousandth part of
one per cent, or less than one dollar
on one million of money transactions.

Meeting Of the Grant and Wilson Club.
..Speech Of Judge GIidden.

.-Speech OF Judge Gl1Qden.
A Grant and Wilson meeting was held
at Webb's Hall, Saturday evening last,
which in point of attendance, enthusi-
ssm and unanimity of purpose, clearly
indicates the drift of public sentiment
here. Although the evening was in
tolerably warm, the heat was greatly
augmented by the closeness of the hall,
a circumstance which no doubt deferred
many from attending.
The meeting was called to order by
Mayor Dawson, Yice-President, and was
addressed by Judge Glidden, whose
appearance was the signal for loud
applause. He opened his speech by
recounting in the most forcible and
eloquent language the history Of the
Republican party-the greatest political
organization the world has ever seen.
reviewed the grand achievements OF
the party from It's inception to the pres
ent day its triumphs, political and
military. The latest achievement. after
successfully crushing out of existence a
rebellion which threatened the destruc-
ton of the country, and restoring the
Union, was in causing the Democratic
party to surrender its cherished princi-
pies, and go over to the man who for
thirty years had heaped upon them
the most csustic abuse. By this course
they surrendered all their old doctrines,
and swallowed a new platform, thinking
thereby to give prestige to their cause,
and by the employment of a recreant
Republican as fgure-head to induce
detection from the Republican ranks to
swell their own. But they have chosen
unwisely. The influence Mr.. Greeley
welded with Republicans is ire
trievably lost to him. His late repre-
hensible political course. his utilization
with those whom he has repeatedly
.stignatized as both morally and men,
tally degraded, portrays the vacillating
character of the man.
The speaker compared the results OF
the administration of Gen. Grant with
those most likely to ensue were Mr..
Greeley to assume the control OF the
government, entertaining as he does
such dangerously fsllacious ideas rela-
tive to the conduct of our national
finances, upon the discreet management
Of which depends the safety Of the bust
ness interests Of our country. The
highly c~ommendable results OF the
administration in faithfully collecting
and disbursIng the revenues, in reduc-
ing the public debt, diminishing taxa
ton, ETC., ETC., were held up in strong
contrast to the miserable ISLANDERS of
Gen. Grant by his political opponents.
At the conclusion of the Judges
speech, the meeting adjourned with
three rousing cheers for Grant and
Wilson, and three more for the eloquent
speaker.

cratic counties give to Democrats all the
important offices, but concsde in the
minor offices a recognition of Liberal
Republicans when practicable.
5. In Republican counties divide the
offices, selecting the best men without
regard to -antecedents.

lect men without regard 10 antecedenls,
but in all cases endeavOr to secure good
speakers, and such as will take an active
part in canvassing their respective dis
tricts.

EIeetiOneering.

EDITOR CHRoNICLE:-Permit me,
through your columns, to answer a
question which has been put to me
several times, since was announced
as a candidate for the office of Probate
Judge, viz: Why are you not out
electioneering?- $685. eriI 11
Ihdve too much faith in the good
sense of the Republican party of this
county, to believe that could advance
my cause by spending half a day, and
taking two or three meals with each
of the many prominent Republicans
throughout the county, and saying
everything / have eve heard, or
could think of prejudicial to the pres
ent worthy incumbent of the office,
who is tha-only other candidate an
nouneed as yet. That is what L I'M
derstand to be the usual acceptance of
the term electioneering. I certainly
desire the nomination !; but if the peo-
pie of the Republican party are not
well enough satisfied with my quail
fcations to give me the office, rather
than to one who has had it six years
already, 1 will cbeerfully acquIesce in
their decision, and support their
nominee as heartily asI shall Grant
and Wilson
In reply to a certain few who have
advised me thatI should not accept
an office, as it will interfere with my
professional prospects, 1 have only to
say that 1 am more indebted to them
for their advice than I have eve been
for their patronage

Evidence of Greeley's bargaining with
the Democrats comes from all quarters.
The Orange IN. ~ Journal adds some
thing in the following statement: "Some
time before the Cincinnati Convention
was held, John C. Ferguson, who lives
near Greeley's Chappaqua farm, and who
filed the position Of Port Warden in
New York city, under Governor Fem
ten, stated to a friend Whose name we
are ready to produce), that Horace Gree
ley would be the nominee of the Cinein-
natl Convention, and also OF the con-
vention TO be held at Baltimore. Fergu-
son said that he had been in correspon-
dence through the winter with Seymour,
Gov. Hoffman, and other prominent
Democrats o. the country, and that the
matter was all arranged, and Greeley
was SUR to be the nominee, and he
thought he would be elected President

North Carolina Certain for Grant and
Wilson.

When we put our-paper to press
last week, the returns of the recent
election in North Carolina for Gov
ernor were not sufficiently definite to
enable US to state positively the char
acter of the result. The Democrats
and their few Timber Republican col
leagues in this vicinity, on the re-
ceipt of the first reports of the cleo
ton, which represented that the
Greeleyites had won q grand victory
and had a majority on the popular
vote of ten thousand and upwards,
were for nearly a week boisterously
jubilant over their supposed victory,
and not unfrequently were tauntingly
impudent toward Republicans, who,
of course, were trying to be as COM
Portable as could be expected of them
under the combined Oppressive in
luence of sw~eltering dog-day weather
and a supposed rebel victory in Caro-
lima. But alas, for the uncertainty of
. moeratic-Limbe
Rebel-G Greeley Victory It proved a
mare and a delusion. The golden
apple of exultant hope was turned
into the bitter ashes of despair, and
the Greeleyite countenances so lately
radiant with smiles were suddenly so
changed that it might have been
supposed the whole party had been
simultaneously attacked with the
gripes. The Republican time for re
joicing had now come, for they had
received later, better and entirely re-
liable news from North Carolina, and
from that time were and still are
ready to compare notes with the
G~reeleyites. Instead of the Demo-
Gratis having carried the State by ten
or more thousand majority, it turns
out that the Republicans have won
by 1000 majority for Caldwell for Gov
ernor, which fact shows the electoral
vote of the Statet to be very certain for
Grant and Wilson. This being the
first State election occurring since
the meeting of the Philadelphia and
Baltimore Conventions, it became a
matter of great concern throughout
the nation, as both parties conceded
that the result in North Carolina
would afford a fair criterion by which
to judge of the probable result of the
presidential contest. Republicans,
the victory is ours! Cheered by this
grand triumph, we have but to rally
as n nan around the old flag in
order to win a full, final and most
glorious victory over the most I'M
principled, inscriptions and motif
est party of southern traitors, north
ern copperheads, soreheads and mall
contents ever banded together for the
sake of power and plumber since the
Union has had an existence.

20 Tho rise in the price OF coal in England
is eonfounding the calculations ofhouse-

the demand is believed to arise from the
immense prosperity of the iron trade.
Tie iron masters are using up the coal

The Springfield Republican, the
chief Greeleyite paper of NJ assachu-
sets, in its issueof Jul y51, reverts to
performance of GratZ Brown at New
Haven. 1t says:
1.-The Connecticut papers furnish
additional and apparently conclu-
sive evidence of Gratz Browns
drunkenness at New Haven during
Commencement week. We note
that, so far, the liberal organs who'll
.Iy ignore the subject, and apparently
seek TO conceal the disgraceful facts
from their readers. But they cannot
prevent them from becoming gener-
ally known nor from working great
harm to the reform cause. If Brown
does not back out, or is not kicked
out, Mr.. Greeley will lose thousands
of votes in consequence of his ascot
ate's disgraceful condition at New
Haven.

The colored people throughout the
country, Notwithstanding Senator Sum-
ner's letter, have no great appreciation
for ''crow." Mass meetings Of colored
voters were held, last Thursday, in
Titusville, Pa, and Terre Haute, Ind,
the west and east acting in concert. AT
these meetings it was resolved not to
regard Summers advice to vote for
Greeley, for the reason that Mr.. Sumner
has no claim upon the colored people
strong enough to induce them to follow
his leadership out of the only party that
has ever befriended them, or whose
record gives hope of future friendship.

1t must now be patent to every Re-

the welfare of the country is nothing;
power is everything. The following
