Suppose the Grant people try their hand a.
calculating percentages! Georgia offers fine
field.
The people have passed judgment on run
away Governor and his crew. Now listen to
their verdict, next Tuesday, on the candidate
for Governor who gets his electioneering dOcu-
ments from the Penitentiary, and his character
from a convict.
Gen. Dix belongs TO the party of Addition
and Silence,-the fifteen thousand dollars for
three months Presidency of impoverished Erie
shows that; and Lyman Tremain does the
Division for the same party-the peaceable
separation Twedde Hall speech shows that.
We hope our friends in Philadelphia will
not confne themselves to catching minnows
those troubled waters. Not only the tools but
the organizers of fraud should be watched and
dealt with. A General or a Senator picking
oakum for crimes against the suffrage would
do no end of good to the cause OF honest gov

AT the Democratic and Liberal Republican
Conventions for the XIth New-Ycrk District,
IL. Nla Ilnra NlDrl--
son n. Potter was unanimously renominated for
Congress. Mr. Potter is a gentleman OF I'M
Questionable character and rising fame. He
stands well in the District has made good
representative, and will be handsomely re-
elected.
Mr.. John o. Whitebouse, a sterling Republic
cam engaged in business in this city, and re-
siding at POughkeepse, has been nominated
by the Liberal Republicans and Democrats of
that (tho XIIIth) District for Congress. He
issues manly address to his constituents, of
which some extracts will be found elsewhere.
He can be elected, and will make good Rep

Greeley is not safe financially. A. I. Stewart
d clares heis. Wall Street must choose between
the two. See Mr.. Stewards strong declaration
elsewhere quoted. The truth is, as sound
financial men like Mr.. Stewart know, that Mr..
Greeley would make an UNNECESSARILY safer
Administration on financial questions than the
present one.
Any lingering doubt as to the loss of the
magnificent steamship America, of the Amer
ican-China line must be dispelled by the de-
tails of the affair now received. The loss of
life was greater than at first reported; and
the whole disaster is one of those which seem
impossible of explanation. The burned steam
ship was one of the largest, if not the largest,
wooden vessels afloat.
A speech from the Hon. George II. Pendle
ton. delivered at Cincinnati, of which we print
a summary to-day, will be found fall Of some
of the most compact arguments yet made
AGAINST the Grant Administration. Mr.. Pendle-
toms is a logical mind, and his judicions
handling of the questions of the day viii com
mand and hold universal attention Ills
speech is model Of terseness and force
A curious phase Of the complicated Cuban
priyateer Pioneer case has developed. Ibe
caDtain brings an action against certain New
York holders of mortgage on the vessel,
who caused him to be imprisoned whlle triai
for condemnation OF the craft was proceeding
at Newport, z. |. IL looks as IL there was
