CAMPAIGN NOTES.

The Administration folks have beel
brought to admit that the breaking away
from their party has reached the proper
tons of an epidemic. 1t is no longer
sporadic it is a general malady.
General Grant has not vet put in q
claim that PleasantOn - led lie knows
| there's more to come out when he calls
for it. His memory is now refreshed on
that point.
| 1t is fortunate that the organs keep
the names OF Grant and Wilson at the
| head of their columns. From their cdi-
torials it would be impossible to tell
whether they belonged to the Grant Re
publican or the Blanton.Duncan Bourbon
party.
| There will be no political Sadducees
| after the Louisville Convention. The an
mated fossils that will stalk the streets OF
the Kentucky town will prove beyond
| cavil the resurrection of the dead. The
| Sadducees will become Pharisees. and will
| thank God that they are not as Blanton
Duncan and his dupes.
Henry Wilson. as an irritating pub
lie mosquito, may be, and we admit, for
the sake of argument, that he is, a great
success but the body of the American
people, safely sheltered behind the pro-
tecting mosquito bar of the Cincinnati
Baltimore movement, will laugh at his
buZZing and quietly compose themselves
at the November election, without fear
of such ill-omened insects, for a long sea-
son of repoSc, real peace, reconciliation
and good government.
1t would be curious to know the
process by which Judge Settle became an
exponent of Republicanism in North Caro-
lima. He was one of the original Seces-
sionists in that State, and introduced, in
1850, in the Legislature, one of the first
resolutions declaring the intention of that
tlfa fn = OF fllrth av. al
ments on her constitutional rights! ETC.,
by secession. AT President Grants re-
quest he was selected to preside over the
Philadelphia Convention.
The king of carpet-baggers, who
skipped out of Georgia between two days,
to avoid arrest for malfeasance in office,
has lately whitewashed himself in a seven
column communication in the New York
Times. OF course Bullock is an enthusi-
astic supporter of Grant-whO afforded
the gubernatorial gentleman every oppor-
tunity to plumber the luckless Georgians
and swears that he will never, No nev-
er, ''shake hands across the bloody
chasm.' If said chasm is deep enough TO
hide such an amount of political iniquity,
we suggest that Bullock be buried in it.
The tomb and the occupant would be
worthy of such honor.
"A very important pamphlet. giving
a review of Mr.. Boutwell's management
of the National finances, is now in press
in Washington, and will be issued shortly.
1t will show. from the records OF the De-
partment, that the pretended debt reduc
ton is false in fact, and that the public ac
counts have been mutiliated in order to
mislead the people. 1t will also show,
from official data, that the accounts are in
mIddled condition, and that there has
been a double issue of United States
bonds, which is clearly proved by the fact
than three millions of dollars, have been
paid. Complete notes will accompany
every statement, so that reference may be
made to the volume. page, and date in
verification thereof.
AT the close of the Revolution,
George Ill desired his Chaplain to return
thanks to God. . g.
The Chaplain replied, 'iSire do you wish
me to thank God that you lost so many
troops.''
Mo-
do YOU wish to thank God b cause you
have lost so many millions sterling?"
No ?''
..Do YOU want to thank God because
you have lost thirteen of your best colo
MES? 20
Mop
.sThen what do you want to thank God
for?''
Il want to thank God because it Is no
aoorse."
So it is with the Radicals. They fire
salutes over North Carolina, and thank
God that it is no worse.
