vcntion, a gentleman of this city met
Mr.. Hendricks and asked him what he
thought of the result. Mr.. Hendricks

selves" Precisely what they all said in
this section. And they are saying II

He was asked to assist

Bill in the Supreme Court, and charg-

With thirteen ex-Rebel Generals
on the floor of Congress- remarks the
Hartford Conn Cou,unt, and with
suffrage universal at the South, the
Democratic candidate for the Presi-

The Republicans, ;of. Calais, Me-, held
9 great Jubilee 2 few nights ago, and
during the evening sent telegram to
Hon. Edgene Hale, congrstulating him
upon his triumphant reelection to
Congress. Net long after they receiv-
eda reply, saying 9 Y Yourdispatch re-
ceiyed. I send greeting to Ealais.-

thy patience: and how thou canst not
bear them that are evil and thou hast
tried them which say they are apostles

Hon. Samuel Ashton, q well-kn0wn
Democratic leader OF Chicago, writes
thus to the Times:
I" In my judgement it is the duty of
every patriotic Democrat, and good
citizen to vote and act so rs to prevent
70 great q calamity to our country aud
Its prosperity rs the election Of Horace
to the Presidency; therefore,
| shall give my vote to Gen. Grant
and what little influence I may have
shall be used for the success Of the
Republican party"

says that every negro has as much |
brains as 5000 ordinary Dutchman put
- Indianapolis Sentinel.
fit were not that the Sentinel holds
so high fame tor umvarying truth we
would pass this by with the scorn it
seems to deserve. Il is libel on the
editor of the Press. That gentleman,
in the first place, never was known to
use such forcible language: secondly,
the Press is at present without an
editor thirdly, tho Press is not Grant
paper, and, lastly. there is no such
paper as the st. Louis Press.-St Louis

Frank Blair insists in all his speeches
that the negroes shall be deported,"
that is TO say, banished from the coun-
try. Suppose the negroes should i'm
sist that the Blair family be dcported?
The negroes have as much right TO de-
port the Rlairs as the Blairs have to
deport the negroes. The negroes were
born in the United States about as
lnuch as the Blairs were. And if we
are compelled to part with either, may
Kind Heaven grant that the Blairs be
the deportcd party We don't care to
what country they go, 80 that it is far
enough to prevent return. II there |
is a spot on Garth from which il is inn |
possible for vessel to ever sail, that Is |
the spot 70 which, III our prayers are
they will some day be de-
ported.--Toledo Blade.
