The Desperate Republicans.

The thirteen reconstructed States
cast ninety-fve electoral votes, or
more than one-fourth of the whole num-
Der. All these States voted for Grant
in 1868, except Georgia and Lou
isiana, which voted for Seymour, and
Mississippi, Virginia and Texas,
which, not being then fully restored to
the Union, did not vote at all. For
several years nine of these States were
stronghOlds of the Republican party.
Latterly they have gradually become
Democratic, until at the present time
the Republicans have rather a feeble
hold upon only South Carolina, FlOri-
da and Louisiana.
In the pending Presidential cam
paign, the reconstructed States are the
keys of position and unless the Re
publicans can defeat the Democrats
in three or four of the States now
held by the after, they have no hope
of escape. Hence, they look upon
Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana and
Alabama lwih covetous eye, and, if
violent counsels prevail, they will re
sort to the desperate expcdient of the
bayOnet for recovering their lost
ground IN the South.
Well, let them try it. Then when
it is too late to profit by the fact, they
may learn that an influential body of
Republicans in the North will not tol.
crate further attempts to carry cleo
tons in the South by stuffing ballot
boxes according to martial law, nor
look quietly on while peaceable citi-
zens are denounced rs banditti because
they protest against such outrages.
Nevertheless it becomes more and
more apparent that the Republicans,
hard pressed by the emergency, con-
template raid of violence in the com
ing canvass in four or five of the re-
constructed States.
The Democrats need not be alarmed
at this intervention by the sword. For
every electoral vote thus wrenched
from them by terror and coercion,
they may gain two in the doubtful
States of the North and West. IN.

WE have a postal before us from
Bryan, Brand & Co., st. Louis, offer
ing us a IS cent portrait of Dan
iel Boone, for which they only ask the
use of half column of our paper two
weeks in succession. The offer is I'M
precedented for liberality, but having
two bushels of corn left, and the rs
cent portrait of Boone not being eats-
BILE we are forced to decline the liber-
al offer. We have set our "deviP to

Grants SeIfShuess.

The absence of President Grant from
the grand celebration of the nation
that has so signally honOred him dis
played indecent contempt for the ever
memorable occasion that has drawn its
visitors from every people of the earth,
and an utter fOrgetfulness of the digni-
ty and prerogatives of the Presidential
office. Had it been a junket by the
seaside, or a display Of trapped jock
eys and prancing steeds, the ruler of
&c, 900, 900 of free oitizens would have
given willing ear to the invitation to
attend but when the sublime grandeur
of the achievements of a century of
Christian civilization are to be COM
memorated, and the people of every
section and faith come by hundreds of
thousands to pay homage to the visitors
of peace and progress, the chief of the
nation is absent, although his official
home is less than five hours distance
from Independence Hall. Of all the
men ever thought of for the chair at
Washington, none but a Grant could
be thus Indifferent to one of his most
imperious duties and grandest opportu-
mites. The million of people who
looked in vain, not for Grant, but for
the President Of the United States,
yesterday, will take courage as they re-
feet that the fourth of March is rapid
ly crowding upon u.s. Philadelphia

Dryness and Moisture ia Woo6w Ork
The London Building Ne,gs says that
one OF the safest remedies for the alter
nation OF dryness and moisture in archi-
tectural woodwork is simply TO ill up
all the cracks with white lead ground in
oil, or putty before planting. A paint
made OF subsulphate of iron, ground up
with any oil and thinned with coal tar
oil and little pitch, is also quite effect

bic tar, obtained from pine timber, mix
ed with dry chalk. Linsecd oil and tar
in equal parts, boiled together and used
while hot, after being scorched over by
GOOD burnt under it, strikes into the
wood, closes the pores and makes an inn
permeable covering Of mdoubted value
in many cases.
TO prevent rot, nothing is better than
thorough seasoning, with proper VEN
tiation. Charring timber, or creosoting
it, will do much 10 arrest decay, but,
when once the dry rot is found, cure be-
comes necessary, if there can be no reno
val or replacement with new. A pure So
luton of corrosive sublimate in water, in
the proportion OF an ounce to gallon,
used hot is an efficient remedy. A solu-
ton of sulphate OF copper, one-half pound
to a gallon Of water. laid on hot, has
proved successful and parallin oil, or the
cheapest naphtha oil, will also stay de-
