BLUFF.

The leaders of the Dolly Warden
political organization, which. was
granted Letters of Administration
on the estate of the Democratic party,
late of the United States of Ameri-
ca, presuming on the gulibility of a
great many people, by pre- concert
have undertaken to make people be-
lieve that there is not only a pros
pect for the election of Horace
Greeley to the Presidency, but that
it is an assured fact.
Now, many of these leaders know
that there is no more chance for his
election than there is for these men
themselves to become honest and
truth-telling; and that they know
will be when the Ethiopian is able
to change his skin and the leopard
his spots. No such a conglomera,
tion of antagonistic, false, and fraud.
ulent political elements will ever
succeed in hoodwinking and hum
bugging the people so as to induce
them to hand over their admins
tration of this Government to al
assortment of Rebels, public plum
derers, disappointed politicians, and
silly visionaries. Horace Greeley
stands no more chance of being
elected President, than Georg'
Francis Train or Victoria Wood
hull.

SOUTHERN GOVERNORS.

In his Portland speech Mr.. Gree
lev denounced without mercy the
"thieving carpetbag Governors in
the South. Considering that it was
Yarmouth, of Louisiana, the very
worst of the whole set, that headed
the improvised Southern delegates
in the Cincinnati Convention, and
that he, as much as any single man,
nominated Greeley, and still is one
of the highest Saints in the Greeley
church; considering that Scott, of
South Carolina, who, according to
Greeley himself, is even greater
thief than Yarmouth, has just come
out for Greeley; and, considering
that high bid has been made by
the Greeley managers for the rest
of the gang, this denunciation by
Greeley becomes clever piece of
acting-that is, clever for such a
burglar as Greeley.

GREELEY MAKES ASPEECH.

The Pittsburg Dispatch says I:
"Our peripatetic candidate, Mr..
Greeley, has broken over, and made
a speech at Portland, Main. He
denies that he has promised offices
to any one in particular, but admits
that Democrats in general shall have
share. He also states that he hasnot
been asked to pay rebel pensions, or
debts, and that he advocated the
Kuklux laws, and that this was well
known when he was nominated.
All true, gentle Horace. The odity
s,that no one ever denied or asserted
anything he asserts or denies. The
points which have been made are
not that certain particular persons
ever entered into agreement with
him,-but that his views and speech
es taken in connection with the we'll
known opinions of the Democracy
render such a course as has been
perdicted for him an entirely prob
able one. We think these points
well taken, and Mr.. Greeley has
not weakened their force by his
speech. He is evidently a very
enthusiastic seeker after the Presi-
dental office, but his methods OF
gaining his point are very unwisely
taken. He recognizes this at the
outset of his speech, but declares
that it is proper for him to speak.
This, properly Interpreted, means
that he is driven from his reticence
by the structures of the press. This
was more than the press was able to
accomplish with President Grant.
even the Tribune calling him a"spur-
red and booted sphynx." Mr.. Gree
ley's weakness will follow him to
his defeat. -

STEWART FOR GRANT.

All doubts as to the position OF
Mr.. A. I. Stewart on the Presiden-
tial question are now removed. A
great parade has been made in the
opposition journals over the rumor
that he had contributed large sum
of money to tie Greeley campaign
fund. This is now, upon his own
authority, denied. Mr.. Stewart, in
common with the great body OF
business men of whom he is so dis
tinguished a representative, holds
that the election of Horace Greeley
would be s national calamity, and
he does not exactly propose to be a
voluntary instrument in bringing
that catastrophe about. TIE Con-
federates will now have to invent
some other story to lessen the dam
aging influence of this commercial
and financial opposition to the pros
poets of their candidate.

From the st. Louis Democrat, August q
FALL OF AN AEROlITE,

A year ago this summer Mr.. John
j., Murdock, who lives near Laclede
Station, mentioned casually to Mr..
Frank J. Bowman that he had dis
covered peculiar hole in the ground
in meadow near the house, and
said that for the life of him he
couldn't imagine Whist made it. 1t
was twelve Or fifteen inches in diam
eter and seven or eight feet in depth.
Mr.. Bowman suggested an erolite,
but that was laughed at. To mark
the place fence rail was thrust in
it, and it enclosed eight feet of the
rail before bottom was reached.
This summer the matter was again
discussed, and various speculations
were INDUCED in to account for the
peculiar opening. After the hay
had been cut Mr.. Murdock consent
ed that the workmen should exam
inc it. They Immediately set to
work, and, after digging down not
eight feet, but thirteen, came upon
spheroid globe of metal, which
was evidently an erolite. 1t pre-
sents the strange appearance, of a
miniature globe fashioned after the
pattern of the earth, being fiattened
at the poles and encrusted in such
a manner as to indicate that it was
in flames as it passed through the
air. The fattened poles are per
fectly smooth, and bear no marks
of heat. 1t is about the size of q
large 12-pound common ball, fully
fifty per cent heavier, and is solid
metal, the nature of which has not
yet been ascertained. 1t was
brought to the city yesterday, and
excited considerable curiosity. 1t
is intended, we believe, to present
it to the Mercantile Library.
The velocity with which it fell
may be judged from the fact of its
deep penetration into the earth
thirteen feet. The farthest that
cannon ball has been forced into an
embankment is six feet, and this n
feat only accomplished at recent ex-
periments by the British navy.

AN ITCHING TO. CHOP.

Horace has an intense itching to
chop. He thinks that was what
made Washington President, and he
is exceedingly anxious to secure
the Office in the same way. In his
speech at Tilton, New Hampshire,
lately he said:
Europe may be in many respects
better than America. Her popula
ton more thickly settled, her arts
and sciences more thoroughly devel-
oped, and her appletrees 1 have no
ticed have less dead limbs on them
than they have in New Hampshire" "
Horace forgets that it was not
the chopping that made Washing
ton good boy, it was because he
did not lie about it. There is where
George and Horace differ.

DEMOCRATIC ECONOMY.

One of our Western exchanges
heads an editorial article ''Demo-
cratic Economy" and goes on to
say: democracy quadrupled the
debt in four years under Polk,
doubled it in two years of peace
that followed the close of the Mex
ican war; trebled it in the four years
of peace under James Buchanan,
ending its rule with bankrupting the
treasury, ,and paying twelve per cent.
interest for the few thousands it f.
nally succeeded in borrowing as a
special favor, when 1t wanted mill
ions. And how it wants the control
of the treasury to do the same
thing over again. Vote it to them,
you who want taxation reduced.

WAITING HIS ELECTION.

The Ku Klux in South Carolina
are waiting for the election of Gree
ley, to begin operations once more.
The following extract of letter
written to the Boston Journal by a
gentleman long resident in that
State, is exceedingly suggestive:
You can do much where you are
by letting the people know what ex-
actly are and have been the facts.
The late action Of the politicians
has done great harm, and the Ku
Klux snake is raising his head again,
preparing to strike if Greeley should
be elected. These fools cannot un-
derstand, and / fear will never learn
in their generation, what we have SO
long been accustomed to in the North
tolerance or differences of politi
cal sentiment. / am not hopeful fo1
the future, and if Greeley is elected
there will be no question that every
Union white man and half the me-
groes of South Carolina may pack
up and leave, for sooner or later they
will have to do it or be killed.

ENCQu RAGING.

The kilograms received by high
officers of the government at Wash
ington, confirm the intelligence that
there is no hearty support being
given the Greeley ticket, either in
this or other States. On the con-
trary the feeling of disgust is stead
lily increasing, and it is believed
that it is among the possibilities
that the whole Liberal Democratic
combination may yet fall to pieces
before the election comes off. The
regular Democratic Convention
seems now entirely likely to prove
success, in which event there will
be very many who will forthwith
desert the mongrel party. We look
for sorrowful revlations to those OF
our friends who are so busy shak
ing hands across the chasm.

ANOTHER.

Hon. E. II. Rollins resigned his
position of Chairman of the Repub-
lican Committee of New Hampshire.
Forthwith the New York Tribune
proclaims this as evidence that Mr..
Rollins had left the Republican par
ty, and was, Of course, going for
Horace. Now hear Mr.. Rollins in
that regard:
81 am happy to congratulate the
State Committee. upon the union
and harmony that prevails in the
Republican party throughout the
the State. Our overwhelming vic
tory in March last, and the united
front which we now present to the
enemy whom we have fought and de-
feated in twenty campaigns, render
certain complete triumph in No
yember, over the mongrel forces
marshaled under the leadership of
of Greeley and Brown, and the EN-
phatic Endorsement by the Granite
State of President Grant and that
self made son of New Hampshire,
Henry Wilson"

SUMNER PANIED.

Sen. Sumner is reported as pain,
ed at the persistent misrepresen-
tations of Fred. Douglass" This
is very severe reflection, especially
when it is well known that Mr.. Fred
Douglass is man of strict probity.
Mr.. Summers violent distortion of
facts ip other instances leaves room
for the suspicion that the misrepre-
sentation may be ON the other side.

The Cholera Epidemic in Europe.

The English Medical Times says
the present epidemic of cholera
seems to be of more moderate
type than former outbreaks. Wher-
ever in Russia the disease has made
it's appearance, it has not proved so
detrimental as in former years; in
Kieve alone the destruction of life
was very great. In st. Petersburg
the increase of fatal cases that has
taken place from the 3lst of July
is eighty-four. In Moscow the cpl
demic seems to have disappeared !;
meanwhile it has passed the from
tiers and entered Prussia. The first
case occurred at Insterberg, East
Prussia, and nine days afterward
three cases came under notice at
Berlin, in the most fashionable street
in the Capital. The epidemic, how
ever spread slowly, and has devel
oped a very destructive tendency.

Two More Yellow Fever Vessels-Hor.
ribie Tale of SUFFERING and Death.

The yellow fever excitement has
been considerably increased by the
arrival of two more infected vessels.
The second fever ship arrived in the
lower bay on Wednesday evening.
A tale of fearful suffering was re
lated by the survivors of the crew.
This vessel is the German bark Joh-
ann Frederick, of Stettin, bound from
Savannah La MAJ, on the north coast
of the Island of Jamaica, to Stettin
She sailed from Jamaica on the 9th
of July, under command of Captain
Kell, with a crew of nine men, be-
sides her commander. She carries
a cargo of logwood, pimento, coffee
and rum. On the fourth day out the
yellow fever made its appearance.
They were without medical atten
dance, and the horrors of the voyage
are unutterable. Six out of nine
men died, and there is good reason
to suppose that one of these, the
carpenter, who was terribly af-
flicted, jumped overheard and
drowned himself. The last of these
men died August Z, the bark being
at the time just north OF Hatteras.
The captain, two men and cook alone
survived and of these the cook and
one seaman have been down
with the fever, but are now GONZALES
cent. For days and weeks, they
have been short-handed to work
their vessel, and literally drifted into
New York in distress. The vessel
will be thoroughly disinfected be.
fore leaving port. This bark will
not come to the city at all, and her
cargo will not be shifted.
A third yellow fever vessel lies in
the lower bay, the American brig
Liberty, Captin Devereaux, from
Manzanillo, Cuba. She has now
three sick on board, and one sea-
man died on her voyage. Her Cap
tain and crew deny that they were
suffering from yellow fever, but the
health officers here think otherwise
The brig Sea Bird, from Maracaib
with yellow fever on board, arrived
at quarantine.

FROM ORRVILLE.
ORRyILLE. Aug. 19, 70.


EDS. REPUBLICAN: - The three
Sabbath Schools of this place and
the Sabbath School of Union Col
lege, two miles north of this village,
held their regular annual picnic in
the beautiful grove near the above
named school building on last Sat
urday. The weather was highly
favorable and the attendance very
large. The Marshallville and Orr
vile Bands were present to enliven
the occasion. The annual, union
picnic has become an established
Institution.
The Teachers Institute is still in
session. Prof. Robert Kidd, the
eminent elocutionist, spent a. week
here and delivered several lectures
under the auspices of the Institute.
DR.. j. NJ. Palmer, of Dalton, deliv-
cred lecture one evening last week

Politics are still quiet with us.
A large number of our most promi-
nent Democrats persistently refuse
to eat crow.
Despite the failure. to split the
Republican party, there is yet one
favorable showing for Greeley-a
good corn crop. The demand for
crow diet since the Cincinnati Con
vention saved the growing crops
from the ravages of that beautiful
bird, and we have the assurance OF
the later philosopher, Josh Billings,
that good weather makes corn, corn
makes whisky, and whisky makes
democrats. The author OF "What
/ know about Farming knew this
little piece of political strategy.
Your Wooster correspondent in
Inmates that the Pittsburgh, Fort
Wayne IL Chicago cutoff from here
westward is an Orrville movement
The idea that the great Pennsyl
vania Company would put corps
of engineers at work in the country
for term of twelve weeks or more
and at its own expense, simply tC
satisfy the whims of Orrville is ex
tremely preposterous, and gives
Orrville credit for greater influence
with the Pennsylvania Company
than ever supposed Wooster would
be willing to acknowledge. The
company inaugurated and is con
ducting the movement entirely OF
its own responsibility and for its
own benefit.
Also that a company employing
the best legal talent in the country
would persistently persue such al
expensive undertaking in face of al
eventual dead lock from the charter
does not look very plausible
Candidly speaking I have mo-
much faith in the belief that thu
cut off will be built,as the obstacles
in the way of grading are very great
However, the engineers will com
plete their surveys on the expert
mental line, as it is called and make
a full and explicit report to the
Chief Engineer, who will submit
the matter, with his opinion, to thu
proper authorities. Should th'
Chief Engineer report practicable
route, we may rest assured that thu
road will be built, Orrville or Woos
ter in the negative or affirmative
notwithstanding.

"PLL NEVER TRAIN WITH THAT
COMPANY AGAIN"

During late Republican meeting
at Lincoln, Maine, very touching
allusion was made to the noble men
who had lost their lives in their
.country's cause. A man sat in the
assembly who had lost son in the
war. He had in his hand a Greeley
hat which had been presented him
by one of that party, and at the
close of that eloquent tribute to the
dead heroes, he crushed the hat and
threw it out of the window, exclaim-
ing, "rll never train with that com
pany again." asiat

NO COMPROMISE. WITH TAMMANY
THIEVES.

Attorney General Barlow states
that the report that the civil and
criminal suits against Tweed, Swee-
ney and others had been compro-
missed, are false. Friends of the
defendants in January last, offered
to compromise by the payment OF
certain sums of money, but General
Barlow declined to entertain any
such propositions. A hearing on
the demurrers will be had during
the latter part Of September in the
civil suits, and they will probably
be tried before the close Of the year
and criminal suits will be brought
before the courts as soon as there is
Judge on the bench in whom the
public has confidence.

DOUBLE DRIFT.

"a There is something exceedingly
amusing in the double drift of Gree
ley's Portland speech. To the Re-
publicans North, he says, in effect:
'See what splendid Republican l
am. Did l not favor the Ku Klux
law? 1 still adhere to my record in
that particular, and am therefore
deserving of your votes" To the
Ku Klux, he says, substantially:
s.Never mind what may do to catch
Republican votes. You are the peo-
pie who are helping to raise my
house, and when finished, you will
be taken care of and not kicked
out The philosophy of it is:
"You pays your money, and takes
your choice"

IF THEN, WHY NOT NOW ?

In the world to-day no prouder name
Is borne on any breeze,
And with Grant to steer the ship of State
Our flag shall rule the seas:
No "Dominion'' shall be north of us,
And south of us no foe
Our stars and stripes in the Canadas,
And likewise Mexico
For with President Ulysses
Will be few who care to fight
May he rule the country he has saved
And God defend the right.
So boysi a final bumper,
While we all in chorus chant 49,
"For next President we nominate
Our own Ulysses Grant,"i1 ----
And if asked what State ne halls from.
From near Appomattox Court House
With its famous apple tree"
For twas there 70 our Ulysses
That Lee gave up the fight
Now, boys, ITO Grant for President,
And God defend the right"

sTRAIeHT-oUT DEMOCRATS.

The straight-out Democratic Con-

We need not publish his history for

al character is unimpeachable, and
he has the ability and brains to

that stands against us in the Dis
trict, we may be able TO triumphant
