sa General Ewing says concerning
the allegation that the Greenback Con-
gressmen are not favorable to his election,
that he knows that Hendrick B. Wright,
Ladd of Maine, Lowe of Alabama, and
Stevenson OF Illinois, are earnestly in fa-
vor of his election. He don't know how
the other stand. He says: II guess be-
fore the election comes of Secretary Sber-
man will find that he has counted without
his host on Greenback allies in Ohio to
help give him boost for the Presidency.
There will, OF course, be some Crandells
and National Vie VS. in Ohio, as there are
elsewhere. .

A President tor Life.

The Duke of Argyll has an opinion
and he expresses it. On the deck of
steamer about departing from New York
last week he said, among other things:
"For myself, / do not think that the
people OF the United States can possibly
do better than to replace General Grant
in the White House. and to keep him
there by successive elections, if need be,
for the remaining term of his life. | have
taken pains during my visit here to read
a good many OF your journals, and |
think have discovered evidence Of a
strong wish that General Grant should
again become the Chief Executive Mag
istrate of your Republic"
Certainly; the Duke Of Argyll might
have noticed in good many Republican
journals evidences Of strong wish to
have the Government OF the United
States get nearer and nearer, If not in
form, in spirit to the English Govern
ment They may differ as to the person
who shall be the leader to materialze
their wish, whether it be Grant or some
one else, but the tendency OF their
thoughts. inclinations and aspirations is
toward a stronger, iron-handed National
Government, with a President continued
for life, and with the States reduced to
Provinces, and governed as such from
Washington. The nation, even il spelled
with big N, is not expressive enough
OF the aristocratic grandeur they desire
the name the Government should bear
The Imperial Republic suits better, and
is what they suggest The Imperial Re.
public, with States holding the same re-
lation to 1t that counties now bear to
States, and President for life. would
fill the bill OF these menarchists at heart.
After that much was we'll established, IL
ties Of nobility would follow, and the
Imperial Republic could then boast OF
its Dukes. and Marquises, and Earls, and
other titles OF nobility, We say the
Duke of Argyll might have learned all
sabout this tendency of portion OF the
American people, represented by certain
Republican journals, and perhaps did
discover it, but be contented himself with
telling very little about it. He has given
enough, however, to put patriots and
lovers of liberty on their guard, and to
warn them against the ascendency Of a
party that has within itself such strong
tendency toward Imperialism, even an
Imperial Republic.-Cn Enquirer.

eyes OF the whole State-iDdeed, OF the
whole country-have been turned since

"Gentlemen, are you agreed 7" asked
the Judge in a solemn tone as the last

The fouriebing little town Of East
Liverpool, twenty-five miles above here,
on the river, has been subject to an out
break Of typhoid fever, which has as
sumed the form Of very msignsnt epi-
demic. Reports have placed the number
Of cases as high as ITO, but this we trust
is an exaggeration as the same propor-
ton in Steubenville's populations would
be nearly 600. Quite number Of deaths
ere reported, as high as Eve in one day.
The disease is said to have originated
from partasing of water from wells in
the north part of town which had be-
come impregnated with poison from an
old pottery reservoir.
