/ SEEe GAsi!Gta.t movement.
The Indications are that the proposed
+anti-GranS g Republican Convention,
which was to meet in Cincinnati on the
ase ei AaySF'll be postponed until after
ehe regular Republican Convention at
Philadelphia in June. The adherents of
Grant are chuokling over what they as
suEe to think Is an evidence Of doubt
and fear on the part Of their opponents
-%of the SUCCESS of their movement, while.
on che ether hand, it is maintained that
the party adverse to the denomination of
Grant han increased 40 much, both in the
number and Influence Of its recent acQui-
>aitions, that they have become embold-
ened to feel confident of defeating Grant
ia the Philadelphia convention. They
nrefer, Of least, TO make that effort first,
,as success there will relieve thcm of
Granks opposition altogether; whereas
If they, fail to prevent his denomination,
they will be in no less favorable posi-
~tion to fight him at the ballot-box than
they now are. The Custom House in
Sestigations in New York have disclosed
such q cesspool of fraud and soothing
corruption, and Grant has been shown
TO be go intimately connected with all
4ha dirty and dishonest transactions dis
oi6eed,t chat his real friends. who have
sustained him from hitherto sincere
belief in his general good character and
executive ability, are fast falling OFF as
their eyes become opened to the nefari-
.oas practices which he has certainly en-
..oouraged and probably participated in.
The Tammany frauds, large as they
were, and increased in magnitude to the
4all extent which Radical ingenuity and
,oxtzasaganee could, for partisan pur-
poses, suggest. has waned into insigni6-
oence before the gigantic swindles of the
Custom House. They have engrossed
tho attention of the leading statesmen
of the country, to the exclusion of the
doings Of the Tammany ring. and can
suot FAIL to damage Grant immeasurably
with all honest and patriotic citizens
who are not mere blind hero worship
,pers. but regard more the welfare of
their country than the friendship OF such
n man as Grant.
But with all the dsfavor into which
Grant has thrown himself with the bet
Ser and more Intelligent element of the
Republican party, in our mind his re-
nonination is a foregone conclusion.
He is still vastly popular with the masses
st the North, where his true character is
anknown, and he is looked upon simply
as the great Union ohieftain of the late
war. The oolored people at the South,
800, with that blind fidelity and con-
stAncy which is chief characteristic Of
their rnce. are slow to perceive his faults.
and will be still warmly enlisted in his
behalf With this popularity, unde-
served though it be. coupled with the

Washed and INV ashed Wool.

FAT sheep secrete large quantities of
oil and gum in their wool, which add ma.
terialIy to the weight of their fleeces. A
wool manufacturer in Mottville, in this
State gives an account of fleece which
was raised on farm near Skaneateles,
and sold as weighing 10 pounds and 7
ounces, which was correct so far as the
weight was concerned in the condition in
which It was sold. But this fleece when
properly washed produced only 8 pounds
91S ounces of clean WOOL The st. Louis
Democrat tells of an experiment made by
dealer who took merino fleece weigh
ing ~ pounds, unrolled 1t and exposed 1t
to the action of the sun for three days, at
the end of which time il weighed but 10
pounds. He then washed It, without
soap, just as sheep is washed, and 1t
weighed but 12 pounds. Finally the
fleece was picked apart and secured with
soap and soft water, and when dry the
weight of the fleece was reduced to nine
pounds. At the present st. Louis prices
for washed and unwashed wool the buyer
would have lost just 1854 on his pur-
chase. e.-Neao York Sun.

Cure for Sheep-UhasIng Dogs.

contrary. A large deerhound of mine,
or rather of my fathers plize-winner
at Birmingham), with not being well
looked after, got into the habit of chasing
sheep, and killing them, too, whenever he
had an opportunity. He was sharply
corrected and kept chained up for some
days, but when again taken out was rs

bered how he had cured a large retriever
Of the same sin tive-and-thirty years
before, and we have, l am pleased to say,
made perfect cure of my deer hound. At
ter one OF his chases he was taken up to the
sheep farm, securely tied between two old
Scotch rams, and then let loose in the
yard, No sooner were they let loose
than all three, being good jumpers,
cleared the wall, and the dog was dragged
about the park till all three were dead
tired, The poor fellow was then taken
home, and can assure you " "sheep-chas-

BITTERs may be safely pronounced the
most popular remedy of the age. When it
is considered that this now famousspec
was introduced some two years ago, its
present sale, which is at the rate of 3,000,-
600 bottles per annum, can only be ascrib-
ed to its intrinsic merits. 1t is believed
that the history of patent medicines"
affords no examples of a success so rapid
and complete. The community insists
that this success is thoroughly deserved,
and we have no inclination to dispute its
dictum. The Voice of the People, if not
exactly that of Omnipotence, is generally
the voice of Common Sense, and as they

sumed that, in this instance, their opinion
is creditable to their sagacity.
