tE-Pennsylvania has eleven German news
papers. Only three OF these follow the
lead Of Carl schurz. The other eight are

tSysSome of the friends OF Mr.. Greeley
discover resemblance between his counten-
ance and the moon. They will find the sim
ilitude still more perfect when his total
eclipse takes place in November
ay-"That whited sepulchre, that grinning
death's.head, that den Of all abonftnations"
were the epithets Horace Greeley applied to
the Democratic party in his speech at Ossa-
watamie, Kansas, May 1S, 1859.
rB"A "sassy' boy of an agricultural turn,
asked Mr.. Greeley, at Nashua, how his
lobster vines were growing. Mr.. Greeley
at once saw what promising chap he was,
and advised him to emigrate to the setting
| sun.

around Greeley's headquarters at the Glen
ham Hotel, remind us of the Yankee who
had ''five outs and one in" Out of money,

t5yCarl Schurz once made a speech at
Fort Wayne, Ind, on which occasion he was
pelted with cabbage-heads. STOPPING down,
he picked up one of the heads hurled at him,
and, holding 1t in his hand, said: Those OF
| my countrymen who vote with the Demo-
| cratic party have no more intelligence than
this cabbage-head."
Gw Wendell Phillips, in letter alluding
to the political situation, says: II have al
| 4 e..
! and shall take more active part, for feel
what is at stake. Greeley is simply wax in
the hands of traitors. How sad Summers
act l cannot understand it. 1t is the great
mistake of his life-a terrible fall"
sY"An eloquent reformer in Maine, the
other day, was Indignantly denouncing the
Administration for the number of dishonest
officials it has had on its pay-rolls. gen.
tleman present thereupon mildly requested
repayment of $3.50 which he, az surety, had
been compelled to hand over to the govern
ment, when the eloquent reformer was de-
faulting postmaster. The little episode seem
ed to edify the crowd more than the eloquent
| reformer.
e8-A story, too absurd for grave contra
diction, appears in the Washington corre-
spondence of the Boston Globe, that United
States Senator Anthony, from this State,
was about to declare for Greeley. The same
ridiculous report has been started, with just
as little truth, about other men, here and
elsewhere Mr.. Anthony gives to General
Grant his earnest support, and has never
doubted that the integrity and honor of the
country demand the re election of the illus
| trious man who has done so much for both.

EW For many weeks the "Liberals" have
been growing over the pretended conversion
of Mr.. A. T. Stewart, of New York, to their
party, and procaiming that he was so filed
with solicitude as to the future of the coun-
try under another Grant Administration that
he had given the sum of $4,000 to assist
the Liberals in carrying on their cam
paign in the East. or course all this turns
out to be false. He has lately written let
ter to friend at Washington City, stating
that he "has not given, and will not give,
one cent to elect Greeley"

lent rebel sheet, which was the first paper in
the United States to nominate Mr.. Greeley

paragraph was at the Leland Hotel in Spring
field. Passing through the lobby one day
he discovered an individual with long beard

"boosy drunk" and the crowd were laugh

s3g- Senator Carpenter, in his Milwaukee
speech, said "There was talk Of Grants
egotism. The charge was so utterly absurd
that it was hardly worth referring to. No
man had less egotism, pretence or self-asser-

Clellan started with some seventeen wagons

| story of Wizards Hotel with little carpet
bag in his hand, took an omnibus and rode
to the depot, thence by boat went to the
army. Perhaps it was on account of his
style of baggage that the rebels have had
such dislike of carpet-baggers since"
