GENERAL L. S. GRANT.-The follow
ing sketch of our honored Chief Magis-
trate we take from the speech of General
LaGrange, lately delivered at Sacrament
to:
Trained at the Military Academy at
West Point, school which sends more
fact seers and more truth tellers into
society than any other school in America,
he entered upon the duties of a quarter
master in the war with Mexico. Exempt
by his position from duty on the field, he
never missed fight, and won his first
promotion under fire on foreign soil, in
the service of his country. After some
years of service in Oregon he yielded to
strong desire for domestic life, resigned
! his commission and returned in honorable
poverty to his family. Those who have
seen him at home, will not wonder that
he chose to leave the army and support
his family by the labor of his hands,
rather than rust his life away in a garri-
son on the frontier. 1t was at this time,
you remember, that his father distributed
his property, the savings Of a prudent
and industrious life, among his children.
But tie young soldier said !: 1.-THE other
children helped to earn this property
while ! was being educated for the army.
| will not take my portion. Divide il
among them" And he hauled cord
wood to st. Louis and sold it to support
his family, rather than touch what his
Dice sense of honor told him did not be-
long to him. And this, fellow-citizens, is
the man who, as the Liberals tell US, has
grown avaricious and become a gift
taker" in the days Of his prosperity. The
answer to the charge Of avarice is in the
necessity that existed for the gift. This
man, who, without violating any duty,
but by simply facilitating the operations
of the traders to whom Lincoln gave
permits to follow in the pathway Of our
armies, might have grown rich beyond
the dreams Of avarice this man, at whose
feet were laid the spoils Of captured cities
and the revenues of conquered States,
when he returned to Washington amid
the paudts Of the nation to disband the
army and lay down his great command,
had only saved enough from his pay to
buy the farm Oh which he had toiled IN
earlier manhood and some rich citizens
from their abundance pressed on his ac-
ceptance modest competence and saved |
the nation the Teproach of leaving him |
too poor TO fill the station he had won. |
The gift was honorable alike to those |
who gave and to him who accepted it
and his integrity and virtue only show
the brighter from the contrast with the
meanness of the slanderers who would
have had him put away so modest and so
fit token Of appreciation for his services.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, Oct. Is, 1872.
DISSEMINATION EXPOSED.

Your correspondent has always assert
ed that the change Of front assumed by
the Democratic party at their Baltimore
| Convention was not made in pursuance
of any real change of their pro-slavery
and disloyal principles proclaimed before.
during and since the rebellion, but in
fraudulent dissimulation of their real SEN
timents for the purpose of getting office.
This we have asserted is especially true
of the Southern ex-rebels, who almost to
a man retain the same sentiments upon
which the campaign of 1868 was prose-
cuted. These, however, are the very
men who want Office the worst and who
therefore cry out loudest in favor of the
milder views of the Cincinnati platform
as espoused at Baltimore.
Since the disastrous results of the Octo-
Der election have made the weakness of
the Greeley coalition apparent, some of
the Democratic papers both North and
South begin to disavow the humbug that
was cooked up at Baltimore and are now
engaged in vomiting the crow which
their heated stomachs cannot any longer
retain and refuse to digest.
The last sample of this very natural
result of the boiling of food incompatible
with Southern stomachs is given a re-
cent editorial of that unscrupulous Gree
ley, organ the Savannah Ne,OS. 1t says:
What is to be the effect of these cleo
tions on the Presidential canvass few
days will develope. 1t is very possible
that the loss Of these States will give
new impetus to the Straight-out move
ment, and that thousands Of Democrats
who had made up their minds to the er-
1ed5ency of sustaining the Cincinnati
nominees, wtU (dU buck upon tie p1't,t-
cipte they haze aeUer dbdndOned, and
either vote the Straight out ticket or take
no interest in the contest"
This confession of fraud and dishonesty
at Baltimore is called forth by the mani
fest prospect of utter defeat under the
coalition, and is only made when there is
nothing to gain by further assembling.
Yet Greeley and Sumner were seconded
by some of the verdant Republicans in
their assurances that the Democrats want
reconciliation, earnestly desire pacihca-
ton Of the country and would faithfully
carry out the reconstruction laws and the
amendments made to the Constitution for
the settlement Of the status of the freed
men. General Hunter, Hon. John Black,
and Governor Smith, of Maryland, de-
MED this openly, and every time a sine
cure Democrat speaks upon the subject
he gives it the lie directly or indirectly,
yet despite these damning proofs Of their
guilty bargain and sale for control Of the
Government, we are still called upon to
believe in the earnestness of the com
pact. Yet few days and the sun will
not shine on a man so weak as to believe
in this trick Of dissimulation, for after the
November election there will be an open
remuneration Of the compact by the Dem
ocratic party.

THEY GIVE UP THE FIGHT. - The
Greeleyites in the East have given up the
fight since the October elections, and it is
stated that their national headquarters in
Washington have been closed, and their
campaign documents that remained on
hand were sold for waste paper. The
condition Of the party is about the same
in California. They were not able to
drum up one hundred voters to hear their
candidate for Congress in this city on
Wednes day night, and now it is nm
nounced that 10 Hamilton, one of the
warehouses Of the party and candidate for
Elector, has withdrawn from the fight.

INDIANA ELECTION.

The Chicago Times thinks there are
fifty thousand Democratic voters In In
diana who will vote for O'Connor and
Adams, and that if the coalition ticket
were Withdrawn they would carry the
electors against Grant. This is not so
readily cyphered out; ; but the defeat of
Greeley and Brown in that State by if
teen or twenty thousand majority, on the
present political status, is readily made
out Of the Republican majorities for Con-
men and the Legislature which insures
the reelection to the Senate of Senator
Morton. The election of Hendricks for
Governor is. now found to be owing to
the Temperance vote in his favor and not
as at first supposed TO his personal popu-
larity as a man. G. M.
Weekly Trinity journal., 1872-11-02

Nor UBsIDY.-Any man who took
the trouble to read the Goat Island bill
(Which we published few weeks ago
and who understands plain English,
knows that that bill was not a subsidy,
and that in voting for it Coghlan broke
no promise which he had made to the
people of this District.
Weekly Trinity journal., 1872-11-02

How TO Stop IT.-The most certain
way to put an end to land grants to rail-
roads or other corporations is to secure the
adoption Of Coghlan's proposed Amend
ment TO the Constitution Of the United
States. Who, we ask, is more entitled
TO be sent to Washington to labor for
this end than the originator of the meas
une7 The voters of the Third Congress
sional District will on the 5th of Novem-
Der, by a large majority, answer No
one.
Weekly Trinity journal., 1872-11-02

THE LIVELY FLEA.-Luttrell has been
everything during the past twelve years
from Stanford Republican to jeff
Davis Democrat. He talks anti-subsidy
because it is popular, but his record shows
that when it comes to action he votes
subsidy. Politically, he is like the Irish
mans flea "when you put yonr hand
on him he amt there"
Weekly Trinity journal., 1872-11-02

WHAT III. q. KNOWS ABOUT STUMPs.
A candidate for the high Office of Presi-
dent of the United States going about the
country and soliciting votes from the
stump" is the novel feature which Hor-
ace Greeley introduced into the present
campaign, wherefore some malicious in
dividual suggests that "while General
Grant calmly smokes his cigar, Greeley
takes the stump"
Weekly Trinity journal., 1872-11-02

NEvADA.--The Virginia (Nev.) Ctr0n
icte, speaking of the probable result in
that State, says: From present indi
cations there can be hardly doubt thai
Grant and Wilson will receive a sub.
stantial majority at the next election in
this State, and even the warmest friends
and supporters of Greeley are not at all
hopeful of his success here"
Weekly Trinity journal., 1872-11-02

HUMBUG = The Sacramento Union,
sets Mr.. Luttrell up as the great anti
subsidy and anti-monopoly candidate and
refers to him as "a thoroughly reliable
friend of the farmers of California" Now
we always knew that Luttrell was able tc
lie and relic, but no one who knows the
man would ever think Of accusing him Of
being reliable upon any subject or ques-
ton.
Weekly Trinity journal., 1872-11-02

DURING the entire campaign, judging
from the reports of the press, the most
enthusiastic meetings which have been
held in this section of the State were those
addressed by Hon. John NJ. Coghlan.
Coghan is a man of the people and one
against whose record even his enemies
cannot truthfully say a word.
Weekly Trinity journal., 1872-11-02

The last good thing" which we have
seen was in the San Francisco CaH last
week in an item where it accuses the
Sacramento Record of trying to read the
Union out of the Republican party. We
had supposed that the Union read itself
out of the party when it took such de-
cidcd stand against the regular nominees
in this State, and this is the general opin-
ion among Republicans here.
Weekly Trinity journal., 1872-11-02

THE DIFFERENCE.-After all the fuss
made about it, there is not great deal
of difference between Coghlan and Lut-
trell. Coghlan promises to work and
vote against subsidies and does so. Lut-
t-ell promises to work and vote against
subsidies and don't. That's all.
Weekly Trinity journal., 1872-11-02

CoGHLAN's ANTI-SUBsIDY RECORD
During the year which Hon. j. M. Cogh-
Ian has been member of Congress, be
voted against every land subsidy which
came up-and there were nearly three
hundred of Them.
Weekly Trinity journal., 1872-11-02

THE San Francisco Board Of Super
visors, at their meeting Oct. 18th, repealed
the order submitting to vote Of the peo-
pie the proposition for subsidy to the
Colorado River Railroad.

A SKEPTIc CoNvEETED.-Therew was a
man In Mauch Chunk, Pa, few days
ago with patent air-brake for railroad
cars for sale. He claimed that it would
stop train going at the highest rate of
speed in half its own length. There
was certain railroad man up there
who treated the suggestion with scorn,
and said he would wager large sums
that the air-brake wouldn't stop train
any quicker than any other brake. So
he borrowed the contrivance and fixed
it Oh an open car on the Switchback
Railroad, and went up to the top of
Pisgah to get a fair start. He let her
come down the inclined plane for a
while until she began to move along at
the rate of sixty miles an hour, and
then he suddenly placed his foot on the
brake and put it on with full power. One
minute later the eye of any solitary trav-
eller passing through those wilds might
have observed car standing perfectly
still on the track and railroad man
going down hill among the blackberry
bushes and underbrush head foremost
at the rate-say of forty-six miles an
hour. He was carried home on q strech.
er, and now that railroad man not only
has perfect faith in the availability Of
the air-brake, but he is convinced that
it would be good thing if some man
would invent machine for taking the
fatness and general Generalization,
as it were, out of mutilated noses Er-
chanqe.
