TIE: EEN DEAL.

General Grant announces that m
portant business compels him 70 post
neindefnitely hisproposed Southern
trip. Well, we eZpeet-the President IS
sorely troubled 20 settle his party
troubles. Upholding the tlsurper
Kellogg in Louisiana, warding of the
Credit Mobilier from his immediate
political family, and reconciling the
conflict between the "ollts' and Gins,
will doubtless occupy all his time foT
some weeks to come.
. We see that Settle is III Washington,
&d so too is Pool, we suppose. Both
dkire something for their loyalty, and
both want something good. One, the
ex-President of the Philadelphia Con
vention, and the other just turned out
Of the United States Senate, each de
n.ands fitting reward for their labors
in behalf OF the party. And still none
OF the old Cabinet officers will resign
Or die, and as yet these industrious
patriots, Will not give over their g Wild
hunt after office"

Holden has shown degree OF degra-

Poor fellow This Federal recoeni-

placed upon him.
But then 10 the new deal, Carro~.
Judge Bonds favorite nan-of-ali-worz,
did rot get winning hand. How I'M
grateful indeed, are Republic ans.
Carrow began his training during the
war. A miserable go-betwee1, he was
loyal to either flag, and to both armies,
his patriotism always tending 20 the
side in authority, where he was. Since
b the war there has no dirty work to bs
doAe by Federal or State authorities
which aid not call forth the actiTc
genius OF CArrow. II Bond wanted q

Whether Cacrov placed too high q
value upon his services, or whether it
was thought they could BE spared, we
know not. But we see hat Young
Douglas, son Of the grea, Illinois
statesman, who has been q lacke. TO the t
President for four years, has been
appointed Marshal Of the Eastern LIS |
trict of North Carolina. Carrow ha |
made the fight and won the victory,
but the spoils have been picked up by
an edeminate camp-follower.
So, too, we see that Starbuclz, the
patriotic acrobat, who threw a back
ward summersault, from the Secession
Convention, through the meshes OF the
Test Oath, into Federal Office, with
out harm to his heels or his conscience,
has been turned adrift, and Dick Bad

Well, what of it !? Rogers, Carrow |
