Grants Only Hope.

The CaUlious and weIl-ihGormcd
correspondent OF The Baltimore Sun
reports Gen. Grant as expressing
confidence in his reelection, basing
his hope on d'sahectod Democrats,
who will either vote for him or not
vote at all.
Well, this is something effected
by Greeley. He puts Grant nj the
mercy of the Dcmocrats--and. if
elected, he will owe his sucaass to
Democrats. This oHght to r%nj,o
both his gratitude and that OF lhc
straight-out immaculitcs, thus .!
abled once moro to vote for a Pr
ident and to come in smelling d
tance of office-which they Il .
in extreme adherence, no to
but never refuse when they ha
chance! Instead Of abusing q
ley, they ought to gI0riry him
giving them so much more col~
qucnce than they could ever aga
have expected in this life.
But there are many slips between
the cup and the lip, Gen. Grant
and the Bourbons are both labor.
ing under dcIusion, and porhsps
they help to cheat each other. The
President, who suspended habcas
corpus and scourges the South
with carpet -baggers aud detectives,
is in a bad way, if he expects sal d,
vatioh through the intcrposition Of
Democrats.
Four months ago, was thcro Il

Union who would not have Joyful

would guarantee the country's de-
liveranco from tho corrupt and de-
grading despotism Of Grant? That
almost beyond hT-
man hope, has been effected by
Horace Greeley. Grant Gonresses
his dependence on Democrats for
the continuance of his Teign. Al!

who once sustained him, abandon

Grant Socially Considered,

h, the Inauguration Of George
Washh ton till the elevation OF
Gen. Grant to the Presidency,
believe it is a matter of history
that no Chief Magistrate ever ac-
copied an invitati on to dine out OF
the White House. The present
Chief Magistrate has reformed all
this. With whom has he not dincd?
And so universal is the knowledge,
both at home and abroad, of the
manner in which he has proslitu-
ted the dignity of his station, that
an anecdote, current all over En-
rope, may not bo out of place.
When. rs is known, the Presiden.
(through ignorance or inadvertencc
no doubt neglected to invite the
Duke of Russia to dine with him,
or as tho Russian saying is, "to
break bread with him." as an evil
dcnce of friendship, the Emperor
and all St. Petersburg felt outrag-
ed. And when, subsequently the
President telegraphed to the Grand
Duke at st. Louis TO return and
dine with him, and the Grand
Duke telegraphcd to st. Peters
burg inquiring what he should do,
the answer was "decliuc perempto-
riIy." OF course this was the sub
ject of every day discussion in st.
Petersburg, and on one of those &C.
casions Russian gentleman who
had been at Washington quietly re-
spondcd: "If our Alexis had been
the owner Of a fast horse, or pass
ably good groom, doubtless Gener-
al Grant would have invited him
to dinner"
The anecdote has currency all
over Europe, and illustrates the
manner in which the dignity of the
Presidential character has been
sustained by the present incumbent
of what We have been taught to
look upon as the most exalted sta
tion of earth. James Watson

Horace Greeley on Secession.

Mr.. Greeley did not advocate
secession, but in several editorials
in the Tribune, he took the humane
ground that, rather than q bloody
war should be the cost of n further
Union of the North and South, the
latter had better be allowed to ego
out" But it is folly to discuss
this secession principle to-day.
The work before us is to get Grant
and his hackers out of power, and,
'if 'twerc done, when It's done,
'twere we'll 'twerc done quickly"
If not done on November 4th, it
will be sorry day for both North
and South. Tho man for the cri-
sis is evidently Horace Greeley.
He is not our choice, but if he is
elected, he promises to relieve
the South Of her most pressing po-
litical woes of today; and for that
reason we urge all good Democrat
ic patriots to yield to the ncccssi-
tics of the moment, and vote tho
Greeley ticket. By clecting Hor
ace Greeley, we crumblc the Grant
power. Horace Greeley is one
term candidate. In 1876, a Dcmo-
cratic nomination, carefully and
judiciously manipulated bya party
machinery of four years organiza-
ton, will be sure to succeed. The
"straight-outs" will be then all
powerful. A large "White Su-
prcmacy" strength will have been
given them and victory will be in
surcd. 1t is worse than folly to
agitatc third ticket at Louis vile.
The movers are without pocuniary
resources, and party without or
ganization, without able leaders, or
effective strength ; and docs not,
and will not on the Sd of Scptem-
Der, possess the confidence of any
two statesmen ofthe grade Of po-
litical ability and purity of char
acter it is necessary to bring for
ward and no second rate men must
be thought of. Such being the sit
uation of things political to-day,
the wise and judicious course will
be, to postpone the Louisville Con-
till November 10th, and
every Democrat vote for Horace
Greeley N. Y. Day Bo0k.

MORE PROGRESS.

Another move in the wrong direction is
being made at the North, where oil the
noted changes in everything, manners,
morals and politics, originate. The Turf
Field and Farm (Which by the way has
become an excellent paper of the kind)
contains q well written article in favor Of
the abolition of side-saddlcs, and the rid
ing of women like men, on horseback.
We understand, also, that Scribner's
Monthly Magazine, which we have not
seen, advocates the same change. This,
too. 10 considered ono of tho bsst of the
Northern Monthlies. 1t appears, from
the article in the Turf, Field and Farm,
that side-saddles have been in use for
hundreds of years, and the writer admits
that il may be very difficult to bring about
the desired reform. We trust IL will be,
and that the attempt will be failure, as
much as or more so than the Bloomer move
ment. 1t will be understood, at once, that
this change in the mode Of riding for wo-
men involves, of course, a change in dress.
If they ride like men, astraddle, they must
be dressed like men with pa antaloons or
breaches. And when this become, the
common dress for riding, it will soon be-
cone the common dress for walking and
for all ordinary uses. The tendency to
assimilate men and women in occupations,
hnh nd
has been exhibited in the Nor thern por-
tions of this country for some years, and
seems 10 be gaining ground, until We see
papers of the first responsibility giving
way to this unnatural and unreasonable
deusion. God has made u great distinc
ton between men and women and the eff
fort to counteract His determination and
to make them as much alik, as possible
must prove failure in the end. AS the
sexes are marked by nature with unchang.
able differences, physical and menta', if
not moral, there should be marked dis
tinction in dress and occupations. We do
not undervalue the female sex, but they
are very unlike men, thank Heaven, and
the more they are made to act like them
and look like them, the less we care about
them, and, if they did but know it, the
worse it will be for them. All these ef-
forts of so.called reform to benefit women
will only work to their serious injury.
The people of the present day are not wiser
than their predeccssors-tbey are only
more corrupt. 1t is full time that stop
was put to modern progress, which is not
If the weak minded women
nre foolish enough to want TO resemble
men, for the Lords sake, let not man, who
was made in the image of his Maker, aid
hem in this folly. A woman astraddle

1t will be noted that this esti-
mate gives Grant only III votes
Z less than y majority. If, there
fore, Grant shall receive only the
number of votes that the organ
gives him, lie will be beaten. Those
States classcd rs doubtful, the Ad
ministration party do not expect
to carry, and among these States
are New York and Pennsylvania,
tho great States in which, the New
York Times comedies, the contest
will be decided. Pennsylvania was
Republican at the last election, and
at the election before that; it was
for Grant in 1868, and it has been
heretofore usually regarded as re-
liably Republican in Presidential
contests. When, therefore, the Ad,
m'nistration organs admit that it
is doubtful" it is tantamount to
confessing that its 20 votes will be
cast for Greeley, us the supporters
of Greeley confidently claim. The
same may be said Of New York's
80 votes There is nothing "doubt-
full" about them; and, indeed, all
the States classed above as "doubt-
full" are almost certain for Greeley,
with the exception of Indiana; and
If the Administration have no more
hope Of carrying that State than
they have of carrying Missouri and
Now York, the defeat of Grant is
already a foregone conclusion. But
this is not the worst Of it. New
Hampshire, which is Mr.. Greeley's
native State, and which is dcoply
feeling the effect of his personal
presence, is classed as certain for
Grant. 1t is almost certain to go
for Greeley, and the same may be
said of Connecticut, whose precari-
Gus Republican majority at the last
election will be easily overcome by
the personal influence Of Mr.. Gree
ley. California, too, classed for
Grant, will go for Greeley, and the
same of Nevada. Illinois is put
down for Grant; but Illinois is the
State where the revolution against
Grant has attained its largest pro-
portions and power, and where il
is directed by the ablcst men in the
former Republican party. The CO.
alition in that State is perfect; its
friends and supporters confidently
expect to carry the State, and we
confidently believe they will.
On the whole, then, tae very Ad-
ministration estimate we have Civ
en- above, not only fails TO elect
Grant, hatfurnishes excellent proofs
tibet ne will be decisively defeated.

The JAPANESE EMBAssY..-The
members of tho Japanese Embassy
during their visit to this country,
acquired knowledge of American
industries which will prove Of
great use to them in the future.
They visited some of the most
prominent of our industrial estab-
listments, where the products of
our inventive and constructive
skill are made ready for use. In
New England they divided into
several parties, and while one par
ty was inspecting the manufactor-
les at New Britain another was at
Hartford, and one went northward
to st. Johnsbury, VT, to visit the
largest factory in the world, where
the Messrs. Fairbanks send out
yearly $4,000 scales into every
quarter of the globe. They mani
tested great interest in whatever
they saw, and constantly piled
their American guide with ques-
tions. At the Fairbanks Scale
Mandatory they carefully exam
ined each article of machinery and
looked at every variety Of scale,
from the tiny affairs for weighing
letters, gold and drugs, up to the
railway scales capable of weighing
an entire train at cnce. They
seemed surprised at the magnitude
of these works, and were greatly
surprised at the extreme delicacy
ofeven the most ponderous weigh
ing machines. Scales graduated
to tho Russian, French, Chinese,
Spanish, and other standards, were
shown to them and, after inspec-
ton of their 10 acres of busy shops

The Homestead Law ami the Mormon

From the worM.l
The beaLitude pronounced upon
the meek that they shall inherit tho
earth seems likely to be verified upon
the Mormons. 1t seems that the
Homestead law entities any" head
of family to eutcr into the allotted
portion of land to possess it. In the
eye of Mormon usage the male Nor
mon is the sole " head OF family"
which may contain an unlimited
number Of wives, each With
an unlimited number Of chill
dren. In the eye OF Federal law
he is the head only Of the family
which consists Of the ranking Wllc
according TO seniority and her Of
spring. Thequestion then arises who
is the head of the family Of which
the male Mormon is the father and
each of his "plural wives the moth
er. The Commissioner Of the Gen
eral Land Office has decided this
headship to be vested in the mother,
and has issued land patents accof@-
ingly. A lively bull IN the real ee'-
tato market can therefore do no
shrcwder thing, with the view ofac-
quiring vast territories ut low rates.
than to become as multiplcX a Nor
mon as possible. But it is grievous
to remark the Inconsistency OF the
female saints, who for all other purs
poses insist that they are lawitliv
married, and for the purposo Of" DO
ing" a paternal government out OF
its broad acres maintain that they
arc not married at all, and that their
children are children Of nobody,
unless haply of the truly PaicrnaI
government aforesaid.

An Estimate.

There are 3G6 votes in what is
called the electoral college, that
is the aggregate Of electoral votes
of the 81 States. a majority of
this number is 1874, and either Gree
ley or Grant must receive this num-
bcr, to be elected. How the States
will vote has become subject Of
interesting calculation. One Of the
Administration organs in this city,
has made its estimate, and as this
estimate involves an admission that
Grant may not be elected, VIC ap.
pend it:
