POLITICAL NOTES.

Troops are waited IN South Carolina
to prevent the negroes from stampeding
to Wade Hampton.
Grant announces that he ahall settle in
Washington when his term is out That
ought to be satisfactory to the rest of the
country.
= The news from North Carolina is
most cheering. The eloquent Vance is
making magnificent canvass. AS q
popular orator Vance has no superior in
the country, if he has his peer.
Grant is sorry he gave up the life poai-
tion Of General OF the Army for the
Presidency. The whole country part;ci-
pates in this sorrow. We can rejoice,
however, that final relief from Grant;s;si
is about 10 be had.
In the opinion of the Cburier-Josrnaf,
were Gabriel to descend and announce
the end OF all corruption. the New York
Times would be out with a supplement
showing that he was one of the rebel
angels; that he didn't come by his trum-
pet honestly, and :;a,.t the resurrection
ought to be postponed.
The Radicals employ for political pur-
poses dusing this campaign eighty thou
sand Office holders, stanG:ag army OF
twenty-five thousand men, every post
Office in the United States and the Asso-
ciated Press. The people have heavy
odds to fight against, but it is an encour-
aging fact that the robbed largely out
number the robbers. s,s
Mr. Joseph Pulitzer, in n German
speech in Indiana, defines rebel and
traitor as the man who "coDspircs to fan
sectional strife, TO beget war and riot !;
vino Is opposed TO peace, prosperity and
national unity; who rcbs his country
and brings it into disrepute; in fine, n
man Who assaults and stahs his country
aud his people" That hits Morton,
Boutwell,, Fitzpatrick & Co. right between
the eyes.
