IT would certainly be worth while for Mr..
Greeley's friends to meet and answer some of
the points against him. They seem to give
themselves very little uneasiness about the no
torious fact that since he became Presden-
tial aspirant Mr.. Greeley has broken down as
man Of principle. We have sought in vain
an explanation that would reconcile his easy
throwing off of his protectionist burden with
honesty and sincere good faith. We have a
score OF times asked how the man who year
ago wanted the Ku-Klux law made ''strong-
err and who now opposes it because he per-
celves that it would operate directly against
his own interests, can still be honest. But
there IS yet stronger case. In 1870. when
what was called the enforcement act, was
pending, and afterwards in the fall of that
year, when it was put in operation, Mr.. Gree
ley was one of its heartiest eulogists. Many
OF our readers will yet remember how vigor-
ously the Tribune upheld the right OF
the general government to insure to
every citizen the full effect of his zone vote
and no more" Indeed, the editor was so
carried away by enthusiasm for this just law,
that he complained that its scope was so mar
row, and that it was not made to apply to the
election of State and municipal affairs as we'll
as to that of Congressman and Presidential
electors. NoU Mr. Greeley perceives that he
will be the person unfavorably affected by
this law which has for its purpose the detec-
ton and punishment of fraud. He knows
that there is a possibility of his being elected
by the repeaters in New York and BROOKLYN
and by the terrorism and violence of the
Southern Ku-Klux. Accordingly we now
find the Tribune joining with the Democrats
IN denouncing ''the federal bayonet election

to three men of distinguished integrity and
good sense. A. shows by several witnesses
that the hay proved to be June grass, dead and
yellow, cut late, and hardly fit to feed at all.
Witnesses of B. testify that they helped get
the hay, that it was of good quality. cut early
and saved in the best condition. and B. himself
testified that when A. came to purchase the
hay he said he had been and examined it, and
thought the price rather stiff, but would take
it at dollar off per ton. B. agreed, and A.
weighed and marketed the hay The referees

Where the Money will be Spent.

1t is highly important consideration that
the far larger proportion of whatever loan
may be granted by the city to the Portland
& Ogdensburg railroad, will return directly to
Portland and minge in the volume of her
trade. The main expenditure in building
this, as Of all other roads, is for supplies and
labor. As regards the supplies we hazard
nothing in saying that nearly all will be, as
they have thus far been, drawn from Portland,
such only being excepted as cannot be adj
vantageously procured here. The railroad
has made special and very favorable terms for
the transportation of the contractors freight
from Portland, for the express purpose of en-
surfing the business to the city.
Money paid tolabor WILDE likewise expend-
ed here, either directly by the workmen, or
through the contractors who furnish supplies,
or through the country store-keepers along
the line, who in turn buy their goods in this
city. Even that paid out to the boarding
house keepers for food supplies to the labor
ers, in the end will reach Portland in large
part. Every sort of trade here will. feel the
benefit. The worst that could be said is that
the money has shifted hands.
1.-THE loan were, on the other hand, to be ex-
pended mainly elsewhere, and if the business
of this town were to receive no stimulus or
augmentation from its outlay, the burden of
the contribution would very justly be felt to
be much heavier than it now can be-
But further, the contractors take in part
payment for their work $1,15O,OO0 in the
bonds of the railroad. These bonds will be
negotiated in the great money markets of the
country, and the cash brought here and ex-
pended. So much of what everywhere con-
stitutes the sinews of business and the stimu-
lus of all commercial activity, will thus be d.
rected here to quicken every movement of
trade, and to inspire and sustain every form
of profitable exertion.

OUR contemporary, the Star, which has
heretofore taken umbrage at being called a
Greeley organ, has at length thrown off its
independent mask and gone at work for the
Cincinnati ticket. 1t first declares that
Maine may be put down as doubtful for the
Republican ticket in November! That is
good beginning and will be copied as author
ty by Democratic organs generally. Having
visited the sore headed ex-office holders at
Bangor and Lewiston, the editor concludes
that two thousand Republicans in Maine will
vote for Mr.. Greeley and thus make the State
doubtful where there was over ten thousand
majority at the last election. This is rare
arithmetic and will make its author as con-
spicuous in the abstruse science of statistics
as Andy Johnson's Mr.. Delmar was in 1868.
The Star further states that there are in Port
land now one hundred Republicans who never
voted any other than the Republican ticket,
who will vote for Mr.. Greeley in November.
Outside of chronic and disappointed office
seekers, will the Star publish the names of
fifty men who have always voted the Repub-
lican ticket, who now propose to vote for
Greeley and Brown? Now that you are an
'organ," loose talk won't do.

FOR PRESIDENT.
ULYSSES S. GRANT.
FOR vICE-PRESIDENT,
HENRY WILSON.
FOR GOVERNOR,
SIDNEY PERHAM.
One of the Ways to Beat Grant.

We have just begun to realize how much
the phrase, Anything to beat Grant,"
means. In some cases, at least, it is equiva-
lent to transfer of allegiance from our own
country to foreign power. When that I'M
worthy feeling has fully taken possession of
its victim he finds himself, unconsciously per-
haps, looking at even international affairs
from the standpoint of our enemies, and feel
ing as if any possible charge that could be
preferred against this government had great
antecedent probability to support it. For in
stance, among the expedients devised by the
friends of the English government to excuse
its obvious reluctance to fulfill the most SOL
emn treaty obligations, was the fabrication of
a monstrous ''yarn"-story would dignity
the hideous narrative far too much-about
the American governments undertaking to
offer brides TO one or more of the Geneva
Commissioners. The details of this myth,
originating in the whispers of the sculery
and servants hall of diplomacy, are to the
effect that an agent of the United States was
furnished with S25O,O0 ''from the Japanese
indemnity fund, or from some other secret
service resource"-such is the pleasing vague
ness of the recital-that the agent carried the
money to Geneva and never brought it back
again! And the belief in the truth of this
yarn-so foolish, so impossible and SO utterly
incredible that the Munchausen who invent
ed it must not only have been intoxicated
but a. mere driveling idiot at the start-that
has been at the bottom of the marked dis
trust with which Great Britain has received
all the propositions of this government touch
ing the treaty. At least so we are told by the
ablest Democratic paper published in this
country. And the same paper adds editori-
ally that "we have lost the right as Ameri-
cans to denounce it as an utterly impossible
story" Thank Heaven, it is not true that
any OF us have lost that right, and it is scan
dalous that some of us have lost the inclina-
toni 1t is carrying partizan zeal too far to
encourage foreign countries in bringing base
less charges against us, which, if commonly
believed, would place us beyond the pale of
civilized nations. And if this very story
should obtain anything like general credence
If it were an accepted fact that the high
officials now constituting our government,
are vulgar pirates who would stoop to any
personal dishonor and involve their country
in any disgrace for the sake of mere trifing
pecuniary advantage is not a country
in Europe but would instantly suspend dip
lomatic intercourse with us. And the effect
OF the Worlds feigned credulity must be con-
siderable. For an opposition paper its tone
is generally exceptionally high and its dis
cussions ofpolitical topics dignified and able.
1t occupies conspicuous place in American
journalism. If our leading papers aid in cir
culating such foul rumors it will certainly
not be strange if the people of other countries
begin to count us mere savages with only ru-
dimentarY moral faculties

Political Notes.

An Ohio correspondent of the New. York
Evening Post after travelling through that
State says the majority of the Republicans
will support the Philadelphia nominations
and the majority of the Democrats the Balti-
more nominations if they are Democrats; but
no considerable part of this party can be
brought to support Mr.. Greeley.
Beauregard, Bragg, Hood, d. H. Hill, Cor
don, Malone and the private Semmes, all of
whom adorned the 'gray" which the Tribune
has Glove and tears for, come forward and
announce that the Greeley ticket is satisfac-
tory to them.
In the Delaware Democratic State Conven-
ton, Sam. Townsend energetically declared
that if the Declaration of Independence
meant that all men were created equal, it
was living lie-that it was only true of
white men.

City Committee at recent meeting voted
not to support Mr.. Greeley for the Presiden-
cy and furnished the State delegation to Bal

effect. -a |-

Alas for the New York World 1t is not
game after all. The flocking of the Western
Democratic Conventions to the Greeley STAN
ard is too much for it. 1t now reduces its ul-
timatum to a nomination under the two
thirds rule. If Greeley is nominated under
this rule, it will support him, but not other
wise. A very small hole to crawl through,
certainly.
The Lewiston Journal informs the argus
that Mr.. Greeley's paper did say the follow
ing respecting Gen. Grant:
"We are led by him who first taught our
armies to conquer in the West, and subse-
quently in the East also. Richmond would
not come to us until we sent Grant after it.
He has never been defeated, and he neuer wiu
be. He will be as great and successful on the
fled OF politics as on that of arms"
