Grant Ordered it.

The Rochester Democrat Grant organ)
says:
Frederick Douglass was placed at the
head Of the Republican electoral ticket at
the particular request of President Grant,
not Stewart l.. Woodford, as we were made
to say by the accidental transportation of a
sentence yesterday morning.
On this declaration the Rochester Union
comments as follows:
The ndriete ofthis comment is charming.
We copy that all the people mny enjoy and
appreciate 1t. The negro was put at the
head and the white man to the rear by the
order OF U. S. Grant. The fact is authori.
tatively stated. Let it be so recorded.
But passing SO remarkable discrimination
in favor of the negro aud against the white
man, what is to be thought Of this dictation
of the President Of the United States, who
is candidate for re electionl by the
whole theory Of our government, and by
the letter ofits Constitution, the matter OF
choosing Presidential electors is furthest
removed from Federal interference or in.
tnence Of any kind. And yet in one of
the nominating conventions of the people
OF a State, the President assumes TO step
in and dictate not only who shall be a can
dlda,e for elector on its ticket, but the
position he shall occupy on that ticket |
And the Convention made up Of and con
trolled by his oticeholders and henchmen,
bows in humble submission TO his dicta-
ton.

Of abuse to hurl at the men engaged in

Elections . b carried By Money.


The New York Spirit Of he Times de
clares that the ''pan for insuring Grants
re election, is the Wholesale purchase Of
certificates Of returns in Philadelphia and
New York, y and continues Hthe admins
tration party believes that ten millions Of
dollars saeaciously expended in the cities
Of PHILADELPHIA and New York, in sums
ranging from S., 600 10 $50, 200 viii secure
the Two States, and thus decide the country
This money is not 10 be expended in buying
vores. but in buying the men who count
tho votes and sign the certificates. This is
the grand style Of cheating, which has
already been pyacliscd on similar scale in
the local elections Of these cities.
To make this plan work, the whole
United States Treasury will be emptied for
Grant If necessary. The game his party is
playingis for empire, and the expectation is
that whatever is taken Can be restored Or
indefinitely concealed in the event olsuccess.
We warn the State and National Commit.
ties that this method Of expending money
viii be energetieally tested, and they must
nos only look to the canvass, but the count;
not alone to the people, but the officers
who are the repositories Of the people $
will. We have no fear that the people will
not vote for Greeley, the danger is that tn e
vote will be dishonesty transferred to
Grant, There is enough in this bold,
timely warning from the Spirit Of the Times
TO put the people on their guard in rela.
ton to the use of money by the Grant
Renominaiionists in the present canvass.
Especially is this the case, when il is
known that government funds has been
used for such purpose. Money was sent
from Washington to Oregon to carry the
election in that State, and a government
officialsuperintended its distribution. This
fact is well known. Marshal Carrow, Of
North Carolina, was given over $500, 900,
osieusibly to pay Court expenses in that
State, bot really for electioneering expen-
ses, all Of which was disbursed to procure
proper return Of Mr.. Caldwell as Gov
ernor. In this case, the money was expen.
ded in "buying the men who count the
votes and sign the certificates, and also in
paying the expenses of bringing negroes
from Washington and other places. Peeu.
MARY cid was also sent from the National
Capital to Vermont, and hundreds Of men
are operating in Maine, who are directly
under the pay OF the Federal government.
When these well ascertained facts are
coupled with the warning Of our New York
contemporary, il assumes far greater signi.
iicance, and challenges the thoughtful,
earnest attention Of all men in favor of q
fair, unbought election for State and national
officers. = Philadelphia Age.

In WHAT COMPANY SHALL
WE INSURE?
REAp THE FOLLoWING :

TIME Anchor Life Insurance Company, Of
4 New Jersey, Is authorized by the terms Of
Its charter (which IA perpetnai) TO loan its
assets in any section Of the United States. And
for the purpose Of carrying out practically this
valuable feature, and giving the people the
benefits Of the money paid for their Insurance,
1t organizes Local Boards Of Trustees in con
vcnlent districts, and the loans are made
through these Boards, This Is no mere pro-
fession of the Company, but a we'll settled
feature o. its business policy. Seeing the ben
eiits and the justice of this plan. as adopted by
the Anchor, and authorized BY its charter, and
after being fully convinced Of the solvency Of
the Company and integrity Of its Officers and
Board Of Management, twelve OF our business
men have organized the Board and entered
into contract with the Company, by which
fifty per cent Of all premiums taken 10 this
County and their aecumlations will be loaned
in the County. This will give complete securi-
" to all insured throughout this section in
this Company, and also protect every person
in his Just right, for il 10 evident that the
twelve members Of this Board will not see In
justice done to any In our courts, and their
testimony cannot be damaged.
Tie money loaned in this county, being se-
cured BY mortgage on real estate, will be an
ample and permanent security for any losses
the company may sustain in the county, be-
You'd that offered BY other companies, for the
reason that Il Is available and within the juris-
dictOn OF our courts.
Therefore, we, the undersigned members Of
the Board for the Corroll County Branch, ap.
peal to all wanting Life Insurance, to assist US
in this effort 10 re-loan our money IN our own
county, and give full and perfect security to
every party insured.

Arraixnment Of stokes,

"A MOTION TO QUAsH THE INDICTMENT.
New YORK, Jan. 29.-Stokes was arraigned &c
plead in the Court Of Oyer and Terminer thi.
morning. His lawyer, John Graham, said he
intended to move to quash the Indictment; the
grand jury had been given the case before
the coroners jury had given their YER
dict. The coroner kept back the fact rs to
whether the deceased was armed, and otherwise
exceeded his authority, contrary to statute, in
his anxiety to obtain murderous verdict. The
papers were clandestinely transferred to the
grand jury. The coroner, too, I'm violation OF
his previous promise, placed upon the jury q
lawyer named Mannsell b. Field, whose motives
were prejudiced
Mr.. Graham alluded to the part taken by ex-
Judge Fullerton in the obtaining of the indics-
ment against Stokes, saying Fullerton became
acquainted with all Stokes private affairs as his
him an enormous counsel fee of 5000 sued
him, subsequently risking his knowledge as for
mer counsel to secure an indictment against
Stokes.
The foregoing were put before the court by
Mr.. Graham in the shape of an affidavit
District Attorney Garvin stated that he did
not propose to put in contradictory aft davits
Mr.. Graham then asked the court to auash
this indictment on the grounds that the act OF
1870 regulating the sitting of two grand iuries
was unconstitutional, and, even il constl-
tutional, that the court should, in it,
discretion, order vacating, and order q
presentment for homicide, and send IL back to
another grand jury sitting after the LIST Of Feb
1uary. Mr.. Graham continued arguing to prove
that the indictment WIS I'm violation of the oaths
OF the grand jury who brought in this present
ment.

The Three DAYS Darkness.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 29.-The Catholic Jour
nal 1.-THE bishops organ) having republshed an
artisle purporting to set forth the prediction OF
q notable person in religion who died several
years back in an italian convent, to the effect
that about this time would come, with wars and
pestilence, an awful calamity of three days of
total darkness, during which many people would
perish, Bishop Wood has issued q circular re-
Jecting the publication, as made without his
sanction. Respecting the prophecy itself, the
and states that after examining the life of the
holy person to whom the prediction is ascribed-
one whom the church has declared ven
erable-nothing has been discovered to
associated with her name. He also reminds
the faithful that they are required to believe
only that which is promulgated by the church.
and that by obeying her precepts and avoiding
SIN, they may be prepared to receive whatever
Judgment God, in his wisdom, might impose.
