PRESIDENT GRANT says

"The idea that any man could elect him.
self presid ent, or even renominate himself,
Is nrenosterous. 1t is reflection upon
the intelligence and patriotism of the peo-
pie to suppose such thing possible. Any
man can destroy his chances for the ONCE
but no one can force an election, or even
nomination.
And the Republican party the country
over at once recognizes the utterance
as true and sound, and as a guiding
principle throughout its history:
But how is it with the Democratic
party? The teachings of its press
for years have been that President
through the power of the public pat
ronage at his disposal, might contro
the people and manipulate conventions
so as to keep himself in Office forever
Can a party that has such faith II
the power of patronage, and money
and corruption, and trickery, safely b'
trusted with the management OF the at
fairs of the country?

SCIENCE is explaining and subduine
nearly everything. The native Afri.
cans are now to be brought within its
influence. An expedition is being fit
ted out in France to explore the still
unknown regions around the source Of
the Nile. Guides and African Soldiery
will accompany them, but that which
is principally relied upon to overcome
opposition,i is small electrical machine
The leader is to secrete it somewhere
about his person, having metal knob
near his forehead, from which electri
cal sparks will be emitted; and when a
tribal chief advances to shake hands OF
rub noses, shock will pass through
his whole system. 1t is expec ted to
inspire them with such dread that ;
peaceful passage will be given the ex
plorers.

The Mineral Point Democrat says
the donations Of the Federal office-hold-
ers and others were used everywhere in
this State last fall to buy votes for the
Republican party. We should not
ere dit such an assertion coming from a
less reliable source, as of course this
money was not used in buying Repub-
lican votes, and one wouldn't naturally
suppose the members of this pure Dem
ocratic- Reform party could be tempted
with the filthy lucre Of the corrupt
Federal officers" But we presume the
Democrat knows whereof it afirms ,anc
having gone so far, will it now please
tell us how much it's editors got for their
votes, and whether they would sell again
this fall on the same terms. Wee
like to know, you know.

The letter does credit to the heart but
not to the brain of our friend. a man OF
his energy and character need not hesitate
rs to assuming to pay two dollars a yeai
for his county paper. The truth is, nc
man, who is a mar at all, in Franklin
county, can lose by taking his county pa
per. Two dollars is Il small item, and ifhe
should not take his county paper, he ought
not to borrow from his neighbor. If hC
should borrow, he is certainly '%sponging.'

might save him money by seeing them il

The Executive Committee of the Cen
tcnnial Commission for Tennessee having
decided that $4,000 will have to be raised
to have the State properly represented at
Philadelphia next year, the Secretary OF
the Committee has prepared Il table based
upon the population OF the State accord
ing to the census of 1870. showing the
amount that should be raised in each coun-
ty to secure the fun required. We find
that Franklin county, population 1870, Is
assessed $500. This amount must be
raised by subscription, the Legislature
having made no provision in this respect,
whether wisely or not, 'let time deter
mine" but. according to our thinking, it
was a most sectional ami impolitic over
sight. We hope that $500 will be raised in
our county. We hope that Captain II. Il.

about it, to-wit: Being elastic, the jar and

horse are entirely destroyed, hence we do
not sufer if the horse should stumble or
