WHAT We WILL Do NOVEMBER

WHAT We WILL Do NNovEMBBR
The questions arises, what States
viii 60 for Greeley2
Let us see about it. Now, for in
stance, we can count up the States
which Grant is next to certain to car
ry. These may be numbered as fol-
lows: Maine, Vermont, Massachu-
setts, South Carolina, Ohio, Michigan,
Haspqes,l z 2 , Iaxa, WisssaeFsias MinpffFsaata MinpffFsaata
and Nebraska. That is a meagre
list. The totafieleuseral vote cast by
these. States is nipety-nine only.
Granting these States to Grant, what
can we safely set down for Greeley
After thorough investigation Of the
situation it seems quite impossible for
the sage Of Chappaqua not to carry
the following States:
New Hampshire, Connecticut, New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Louiisii
ana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana,
Illinois, Missouri, Oregon, ARKANSAS
Texas, California, West Virginia Ne
vada. ,s.,.e
These States cast two hundred and
forty eight electoral votes. That elects
Greeley. But there are several States
not enumerated in these lists. Let
them be set down in a column OF
doubtful. Then let Mr.. Grant capture
the doubtful. But:with triumph in
all the uncertain Commenwealths,
Useless S. Grant has not the slightest
chance Of election Cincinnati Com
mercial.

take their places. These owe all their

power to the support and sympathy
OF Gen. Grant and his Administra-
tion. This, with the aid of the bay
.onet, is invoked on all occasions, when
accused aml called upon to respond
at the bar Of an indignant and out
ragged people. Without this aid, and
at once, their chief support would be
gone, and justice and right once more
would have the sway; Those who
ask, What.will Greeley do with. it?
like Belshazzar, see the writing
and the coming doom in letters Of
living light on the wall. Mr.. Gree
ley's election, they know, will be the
retdrn Of the Government to the
great principle Of reconciliation aud
publication, Wrong and rings will
hide their diminished heads mid vir-
tue and peace will stand entbroned.
Once more we will have a Govern
ment Of unity, fraternity and right.
And this will be the downfalI Of all
which has disgraced the civilization
of the, age. It will follow, as surely
as the sun disperses ithe,mists Of the
night.-Charleston Courier,

A Significant Howl from the New
York Herald,

At the Cooper Institute yesterday
evening mass meeting was held by
the Grant republicans, at which Judge
Pierrepont delivered a careful smooth
and well-poised address, as lawyer
of his ability might, speaking for his
party. But whatever party good
may have been derived from this
speech was thrown away by the ap-
pearapce Of. a "culled .gAmman" to
tell patronizingly what he knows
about the white vote. Although hav-
ing given the negroes their freedom;
we are not quite prepared. yet to
swallow their dictation as to.how we,
are to cast our, ballots. We have a.
respect for the colored people in their
place, and that.'plaee is sssuredly not
as the equals" intellectually Of the
whites They cannot turn theirlead-'
ing strings into oratorical whips for
ourselves just yet. Hayti, which
they have had to themselves, is about
in the aharthical condition Of things
which their assumption Of leadership
would mean and although the bare
idea of this is absrrd, we object to
it even IN homeopathic doses. I'VE
can therefore only, wondef at the
complacency with which the "culled
gemmap" was listened to in. the pat.
fonage he extended to his white fel-.
low-citizens. We can admit, for the
sake of argument, that 1.-The colored
troops fought noblyr": but we know it
was under white leaders, and as this
seems to be about the position they
are destined to fill in the approach-
ing elections sit would be something
more to the point to let their white
leaders now do the talking for them
also.. In Tennessee, as SO graphically
told by our able correspondent, we
have a man who has been "ex' every
thing in the oHice-holding line from
President down, trying to sandwich
himself in between two other candi-
dates, and putting bis tx" like
multiplication sign, between his de-
sire and his opportunity to make
himself a Congressman at Large ip
spite of all odds; but at last nights.
meeting we have Judge and a ne
gro trying to talk General Grant into
reelection, presenting only the signs
Of addition and DIVISION without
the well known politica. quantity of
"silence..' We think, with re-
gard to the colored orators blatant
patronage Of his white leaders, it
might round here be advantage
ously exchanged for the tacit article.
On one side it's anything to beat
Grant" and on the other any
thing to beat Greeley" which will
account, we suppose, for the pow
ers Of endurance Of the meeting
last night in hearing this "culled
gemman's S" rhapsody with patience.
The black vote hpst be catered, to-.
you know, even-af,tbe expense of'de-
cency, truth and common sense.-N.

The reason why children die, is

to whom nature has denied the charm OF

To crafty this wish HAaAlN's MAGNOLIA
BALM was introduced. The cosmetics of
the day had been pronounced poisonous
by the most disting guished chemists, and
it was also found that their ultimate eff
feet was to wither the skin as to paralize
the external nerves. The ladies hailed
with delight the advent of healthful,
herbal and dormal and floral prepare;
ton capable of impsrting to their faces,
