Grant Elected BY Negroes

Grant Elected ~ NeBfoes-
Editor OF Enquirer:
Ia it true that majority Of the white
men in the United States voted for
Horace Greeley for President at the late
election2 Upon your statement have
40 said, but it has been several times
contradicted by Grant men: Will you
give US the proofs? INQUIRER. ;,
We will, with pleasure. Tue proofs
are these: The majority for General
Grant on the popular vote will vary
but little from 100000. That majority
il made up Of whites and negroes
In 1870, BY the United States census
there we're 4,SSp,000 negroes in
the United States. There must
be now over 100000 OF them.
We poll in Ohio one vote to every five
inhabitants. Ia Indiana 1t is one to
eyery four and . fraction. We may
safely assume that one out Of every tve
negroes has voted. But for the sake OF
argument We will estimate their vote at
500 OOO OF that vote Mr. Greeley did
not receive more than 10000, and We
doubt if he had 10000. The majority
Of Grant on the negro vote was Ger
tainly more than 100000, or 100000
more than his vote over Greelev. Gen.
eral Grant therefore goes into the
Presidency Condemned BY majority Of
the White voters Of the country, BE
goes 10 'by . vote Of Ignorant persons,
the most of whom eannotread OF write,
And Who have been hanufsctursdi -

The Wool Trade-Look Out for an
Advknee1n winter ClothiaE.
Fremthe n. r: worid1 - - = -- 49,. d..
To judge from the general aspect Of
affairs in the wool trade in this city the
fire in Boston was an i'll wind that blew
an immense injury to the Bostonisns
but one that was an indirect benefit to
the trade of this city and Philadelphia.
The almost total destruction Of the
wool trade in Boston, where the stock
in store was estimated at about Il, 000,-
900 pounds, or q trifle over an eighth
of the whole clip OF the United States,
cannot but enhance the value OF the
stock now in store in this city, which,
at liberal calculation, 10 very light
one, the supply, both domestic and from
South America, being all in hand and
cannot be increased until next spring or
early summer. nor can the supply to
arrive from Australia and the Cape OF
Good Hope at English ports, and which
is estimated at onethird less than last
years clip increase the supply in this
country, and it is generally expected
that the annual wool sales which will
begin IN London on the 2lst OF Novem.
Der, will show a very decided advance
in prices.
The trade had just begun in this city
for the season, and the sales Of wool on
Saturday were larger than they had
been for some time. OF course the fire
has struck an immediate blow to the
trade and will stsgnate it for few days,
until the general wreck can be cleared
away. But the holders OF large stocks,
if they can stand the financial storm
caused by the almost total loss Of over
500, 100000, cannot but realize hand
some profit on their stock. The stock
now 90 hand cannot more than supply
the machinery engaged in the manu-
facture Of wooden goods, even if run, as
they have been of late. at half time,
while the supply now held in England
and to arrive will but serve to keep their
mills at work at scant halt time. AS
far as could be ascertained yesterday
none of the New York houses were dis
astrously affected by the fire, other than
by the general depression in the money
market, which thew hope to tide over,
while the increased profits on the stock
held by many OF them, aud the deaec-
ton OF the trade formerly held by the
Boston merchants to New York, was
deemed by some more in the light OF a
blessing than loss.
The actual sufferers by the loss OF
material will, to a great extent, be the
public at large, as all kinds Of woolen
goods will advance Immediately, and
those who have not purchased their
winter overcoats or wooden undercloth.
ing will have to pay from thirty or fifty
per cent more for them. or be contented
with wearing an inferior article, COM
posed more Of shoddy than anything
| else.

A man ia Detvoi. gave me an idea Of the
,.chncss csoil in that yicioity lie said there
wasn't any place on earth where things grew as
they DO there lie said bis wife never maize
bread. She always made little bisce.i tac
size Of an egg, aud she would leave en- an hour

u pound loayes. De continued his growing
tale and said: Once there was a man. he
went into the woods and chopped down toUr
trees. He used the four siumps for coroer posts,
aud built him nice log house on those stumFs.
Then De and his family went TO bed In the
house The next morning he found himself
aud family up sixty feet in the air, with IL
Of Indians down in the cellar waiting = cut
their beads OF and the Indians Gid scalp the
vkoie Of en-
Stranger sad l. you don't laean to tell

Stranger, that story Is pretty tough, but
believe 10, because know something about
growing trees, aud they grow darned fast some
times. Ny father had some good soil on his
place, good soil for trees. lie coulIa't afford
to keep dog, because there was 50 many Of
Us young 'uus. lie had to boil what bones was
let to make soup Cor as. Hsbaj some trees,
and in Place Of a dog, be kept some Of the
bark or those trees ia the house to scare away
robbers. because that bark would last all night
one day, I used some Of tie bark for tooth
picks, and as sure as a sour allspicc, stranger,
those toothpicks grew so that next day l sold
'em fer telegraph poles and they had to be
sawed in two before they couId be used"
The stranger Got UP. Says be. good day,
sir.
