Probate Notices.

1t is necessary that we call public atten-
tion to the fact that it is the right of execu-
tors or administrators of estates to have
their probate advertising done in any news,
paper in the county they wish. Several
notices of this kind have appeared in the
Union which we have reason to know the
executors and administrators prefer should
have appeared in THE ARGUS. They
leave the matter with Guyer, the county
judge, or with Cook, the clerk, and. in the
absence of any directions, they give them
all to the UniOn Executors and admin
strators who want their notices published
in TIE ARGUS should attend to that mat
ter themselves, and not leave it to Guyer
or Cook, or to the lawyers employed! The
ARGUS only asks fair play. but it can't get
it unless executors and administrators will
attend to the matter themselves. IF

GENERAL GRANTS VIEWS.

A Long Branch letter says: "For the past
few days President Grant has abandoned the
reticsnce for which he is unusually remarka-
BILE, aud has not hesitated to express his views
of current events freely among his frieuds.-
1t is very evident that he regards his OWE
chances of . Denomination aud election as
materially improved by the indiscreet action
of the Democracy, although on this point he
retains his customary reserve. The President
insists that there can no longer be any doubt
as to the position of the majority of the DEM
ocratic party on the currency question. If in
power in both houses of Congress and of the
Presidential Office they would repeal the re-
sumption law aud all laws interfering with
the limitation of the greenback issue. They
would violate the pledged faith Of the nation
and propose to pay the governmen. bonds with
irredeemable aud worthless rag money. Some
of the Western States do not hesitate to
boldly avow such On extreme policy. De-
moeracy of other States, by taking single
step in the direction of reputation, indicate
unmistakably their willingness to travel the
whole length of the perilous road. Suppose
the New York Democracy should boldly take
a stand against the party and declare in favor
of hard money and the speediest possible re-
sumption of what use would such pronun-
oiatien,b be in national convention controlled
by the South, and West, and Pennsylvania
And if New York speaks with feeble and
temporizing voice, who will longer believe
that any power will be sufficient to hold the
Democratic repudiationists in checki So
that, under any and all circumstances, Presi
dent Grant believes that the people will be
compelled to recognize the Democratic party
the leader of imitation and reputation, and
the Republican party as the friend of resump-
ton and of the preservation Of the national
honor and credit. the issue of next years
campaign, says the President, SIS already
made and has been chosen BY the Dsmoo>
racy.'
