THE LIBERAL DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
at Augusta, Thursday, was pantomime of
Andrew Johnson's Philadelphia Convention
an arm-in-arm affair in small way-a pa
thetic clasping of hands across the bloody
chasm-on the whole very amusing affair.
First the Liberals, which included every man
that could be coaxed into the hall, nominated
"Col" Lang for candidate for representative
to Congress, every man voting who wished,
and as many times as he pleased, until $40
were counted out. Then Mr.. Lang tearfully
accepted like martyr. Next the Demo
cratic Convention came in and Mr.. Perkins,
President of the Liberals, and Mr.. Albert
Moore, President of the Democratic Conven-
ton, advanced to the front and pathetical-
ly clasped clippers" and the bloody ,chasm
was Immediately closed. This done Mr..
Lang, it is said, again as Democrat accepted
the nomination, though it was forced upon
him. He again tearfully invoked Gods help
in the terrible dilemma
A resolution was adopted pledging the
Greeley Republicans to vote for Mr.. K;mball,
thus completely spanning the bloady chasm,
by causing the small number of Liberals, led
by the patriot Carleton, the chief spokesman
on the occasion, to be swallowed up by the
Democratic party.

George Evans.


Who, sneeringly asks the New York Times,
is George Evans? 1t is question which no
intelligent journal should need to ask and
which an intelligent and respectable paper, as
the Times is, should be ashamed to ask. For
nearly twenty years in Congress Mr.. Evans,
if not ranking with the great triumvirate-
Clay, Webster and Calhoun-was undoubted-
at the head of the class of great men next
below them. His speech in the House of
Representatives in defence of Mr.. Webster
against the attack of John Quincy Adams,
was one Of the most mastery efforts ever
made in that body, and created a greater
sensation in the country than has been made
by any speech in the House for the last ten
years. When Mr.. Clay resigned his seat in
the Senate to run for the Presidency in 1874,
Mr.. Evans took his place as Chairman of the
Committee on Finance and leader of the
Senate. MIR. Clay remarked, on taking leave
of the Senate, that he had left the chair
manship of his committee in the fittest hands
in the country. The rank assigned to Mr.
Evans in this communication, was given to
him, as the writer knows, by such men as
Rufus Choate, John NJ. Clayton, George E.
Badger and Gen. Scott.
But this slur upon the memory of Mr..
Evans will be less painful to his friends than
the insult done it in comparing his eloquence
with that of the charlatan, Tilton.

Grant and Greeley Abroad.

To the Editor Of the Press: .ss.us ,rsa5sr
am indebted to our fellow citizen. FL. N.
Jose, Esq, now in Europe, for a slip from the
London Telegraph, from which make the
following extract which think may be Of
interest to your readers. H3"
Across the Atlantic, the frugal system
which has characterized the management of
public affairs since the close of hostilities is
likely to produce no small effect upon the re-
suit of the Presidential contest. The platform
of the Republican party after the war con-
sisted of two main items. The first was the
resolve to maintain the authority of the Union
in the South; the second was the reduction
of the Debt. Now, whatever short comings
may be alleged against General Grant, it is
certain that he has upheld the supremacy OF
the law in the Ex-Confederate States, that he
has enforced the rules of the Constitution for
the protection of the negroes, and that under
his administration the National Debt has been
reduced with wonderful speed and regularity.
How far the credit of these achievements is
due to the General may admit of doubt; but
in America as in England the bulk of the
community always judges by results; and, af-
ter all, the public policy of the President has
been eminently successful. Whether the
Reconstruction Acts" by which the South
yet undoubtedly they have answered the OBJ
jects for which they were formed, and have
placed the loyal colored population of the
South in political equality with the disaf-
fected white element. Now, Mr.. Greeley
may very possibly be as anxious as General
Grant to uphold the rights of the negroes in
the Southern States, and to maintain the fl
nancial credit of the Union. But he has as
ISOLATED himself with politicians suspected, in
popular opinion, of wishing to restore State
rights, and thereby to place the blacks under
the virtual control of their old masters, and
of favoring schemes of reputation. The
Democrats have never yet recovered the
discredit of their supposed sympathy with
the copperheads and the advocates of repudi-
alton; and it is hardly likely that the mere
fact of Mr.. Greeley having gone over to
their side will turn the scale in their favor at
the last moment. So tar, the Republican Sc
cession in Mr.. Greeley's favor has been
uninfiuential and Insignificant; and not one
of the old leaders of the party has espoused
his fortunes. Even Senator Simmer, who
hates General Grant with bitter personal
vindictiveness, has shrunk hitherto from de-
claring himself in favor of the New York
journalist. 1t is said that the great Nassa-
chusets Senator is about to issue a manifesto
on the subject of the approaching election.
We doubt very much whether, even with Mr..
Summers support, Mr.. Greeley has any Sc
riOus chance of success. IT. on the other
hand, Mr.. Sumner should declare against him,
the blow would probably be fatal to his candi-
dature. Meanwhile, the position of the Unit
ed States can hardly fail to fill rejecting
Frenchmen with envy.

Tilton and the Ninth Commandment.

Mr.. Theodore Tilton is making democratic
speeches in Maine. He publishes in New
York city weekly paper called the Golden
Age. From the latest issue of that paner we
clip the following:
president Grants thirty-fiye Thousand
dollar cottage by the sea was presented by
eight subscribers, according to Mr.. A. r
Stewart. Yet it is said that President Grant
has never taken gift"
Now Mr.. A. T. Stewart, against whom
this journalist bears false witness, did not say
that cottage by the sea was presented to
the President, but merely that he knew of a
man who was invited to become subscriber
to fund to be raised for that object. The
whole matter was explained in at least three
daily Journals, viz: the World, the Post and
the Times, several days before the Golden
Age went to press. Such presentation was
contemplated by Long Branch property own
ers but never consummatedi
There is not the slightest evidenoo +bo+
Gen. Grant was apprised of the project while
the fact that it was not carried out 10 nre-
sumptive proof that he declined to be the re-
cipisnt OF any such gift. Nevertheless Mr..
Tilton's paper is made the vehicle for the cir
culation of this SANDER, long after any well
informed publicist ought to have known that
1t was groundless. And togive the paragraph
an extra flavor of malgnity it ia made to serve

The censure by the Adoertiserof the Grand
jury which ignored Kilpatrick's Indictment
OF the New York Times, is not, we are in
clined to think, just We presume that in
New York as elsewhere, it is the practice for
the prosecuting attorney, when he knows Of
rebutting evidence at hand to permit it, if
he thinks the public good and justice require
it, to go before the Grand Jury. And We I'M
derstand that in this case there was such
evidence before the Jury. Now, although
the article in the Times was prima Jdcie Ii
bellous and would, in the absence of other
facts, warrant the finding of a bill of indict-
ment, yet, if there was before the jury evil

body as blameworthy for declining to report
