The following letter from Hon. james
3 Beck to Hon T. L. Clingman, Of
North Carolina, will exhibit the method
of the Grant campaign. Comment is
unnecessary:
WAsuINeroN, July 8, 1872.
Hon. T. l, Clingman:
DEAR SIR-As North Carolina will
be the first State after the Baltimore
Convention in which an election will be
held, The administration will use every
means possible to carry it. Gangs OF
spies and lntormers will food your State
negroes will be imported from other
States; false registrations will be resort
ed to. Ia short, all the machinery which
4 corrupt and INSCRIPTIONS administra-
ton can devise will be put IN motion TO
carry the State. Secretaries Boutwell,
and Deiuuo will leave their departments
to add to the pressure by their speeches
and other Influences Already large
sums OF money have been raised for cor
rupt purposes. knew the (so-called)
Department OF Justice would contribute
largely TO the means of corruption.
Therefore | went to the Treasury this
morning to see what was being done, and
round that one s T Carrow. Marshal of
your State, had drawn within the last
year 500 GOO, of which $50 600 had been
drawn within the last sixty DAYS, SIC, 600
of it within the last few weeks. OF
course this will be used corruptly. This
enormous draft on the Treasury for pre-
to-lo4 ;-,lr5;,l ,v~o,-.A 1,,arfar ~
million of dollars in twelve <E@aNa h5--is
made still more fragrant from the fact
that. until within a few years past, no
former United States Marshal ever drew
more than s. coo to cover Ill the expen-
SEES incident to his Office fora whole year.

Tn directing special. attention to the
card of Melrose Institute, located at
Trenton. Tenn, we take pleasure in
stating that we have known the Prinei
pal, Prof. William K Jones. one Of our
most successful Middle Tennessee teach
ers. away back in the past, and his sterl
lug traits Of character, excellent scholar
ship aud happy and successful art of
governing and instructing, make him
one of the best educators of his native
State, with an experience IN his chosen
profession of some twenty odd years,
while his estimable and accomplished
lady IS not a whit behind IN her expert
euce as successful and faithful teacher
for nearly as long She IS associated In
the school as matrou and teacher. Too
much cannot we'll be said IN praise OF
these two teachers, as they yield to none
10 devotion to their profession, thorough
ness of education aud high moral worth.
The other members of this Faculty are
equally meritorious, popular and success
ful. The pleasure Of d visit to this Instl-
tute satisfied Us that the school IS not
UNCONVENTIONAL but that great care Is
taken to give the pupils proper moral
training, aud to inculeate practical piety
and the principles of a religious life
both by precept and example. 1t is the
constant aim aud effort Of the whole
corps of teachers to make scholars
thorough, from the beginning through
out the course. OrIhography, penman
ship and composition, too often neglected
elsewhere. receive special attention in all
the classes at Melrose Institute. We
commend this school to all who have
children or wards to educate as one of
the best in the State-AashcIle Union
and american.

Personal.

The Hickman Courier learns that
cards have appeared in the Kennckian
making. inferentially, personal attacks
upon the editor Of that paper Nothing
of the kind has ever occurred, and the
war-whoop with which the Courier greets
the intelligence, is. as yet, entirely un-
called for. As for the complaint that
5he Kentuckian has not been received
the editor of the Courier must look to
Uncle Sam aud his mail agents and post
masters. Our mailing clerk knows moth
ing of what appears in the Kennckiaa
and has never had orders to miss auy

Longiellow was beaten by Bassett
Monday, aud all Kentucky will be in
mourning The big horse seems to have
injured himself in the'racc, but the time
was low enough down to make it one of
the best runs on record. Our people,
however, will be consoled by nothing
less than smother victory over Bassett,
aud Mr. Harper must see to it that this
hope aud expectation are justified The

The next CouGress.

II this section, the Presidential ques-
ton has been permitted to eDgross the
public attention; bat it IS really only
half the contest-the House Of Congress
being The other hale or the ali important
issue Kentucky being so surely demo
cratic-this issue does not pertain to Us.
It is all important that we elect demo
cratic Congress as well as a liberal presi-
dent. The election of Horace Greeley,
without Congress to sustain him. would
be en- almost barren victory. \ Radical
majority in Congress would soon maoacle
aim precisely as they did Andrew john

is eff such extraordinary importance that

The Vote nv Ballot.

The Democracy Of Kentucky have been
SO long accustomed TO viva yoce voting.
and SO strongly educated against the
balIJt system, that some, on this account,
declare their intention not to go to the

medied. Let each Democrat and Liberal
Republican as he passes in his ballot de-
clare rho it is Jar. If the party viii
vote thus. uuitei'y, The objectionable

From the Humboldt Rsgistsr. Juno sth.l
The other night during the Pow
WOW, citizens Of this place took Occa-
sion to visit the camp to witness the
performance. The night was the
uuintescence of darkness, and leaving
the bright glare ofthe camp fires, made
the darkness more visible. AS Frank
Morrow, and Jack WATSON, were retur-
ming to town, feeling their way, as bost
they conld, they both walked off the
hank into tho Humboldt River, and
we're hurried down toward the Sink by
tire foaming tide. Frank says the bank
must have been thirty feet high perpel :
dicular, at the place, for he had time
to repeat the Lords Prayer through
once, and was well started In on It the
second time, before he struck the water.
The river must, also. have been at least
100 feet deep, rs he went chuck to the
bottom, and he thought Of nearly all
evil deeds he had committed In his life
time, before he smelt fresh air again:
Frank sank three times, but he had
faith. and repeated the Lords Prayer
forty-three times, when he was cast
ashore by the surying pillows, half
dead from cold. WassOn waded ont,
and quietly told Frank he was a cussed
fool to try to wade the river at that
point, when the bridge was only u few
rods down.
