GENERAL GRANT IN 1854

There is no doubt that those who so strongly adj
vocated the nomination of General Grant I'M lSSO
have only postponed their hopes for four years,
and will then make a more determined effort to
accomplish what they narrowly missed at
Chicago this year. The third-term snake is only
'scotched," not killed; but when a case of back
ache or kidney complaint gives way before the
Oregon Kidney Tea, the surrender is final and
complete and it will never rise again. Sold by all

man is alone. The clatter of a
fallen guitar comes from the front;
a sound like the rush of steeple

the picket fence to disappear down
the dim perspective of the deserted

he returns on the outer walk, and
removes in a discouraged manner a
dark object from his foaming
mouth, while the animal retIres to
his kennel in silence. The door
opens and shuts upon the white

may be found in the beautiful ex-

A Negroes EIOquence.


The Dallas { Tex Times recites
the details of a case that certainly
presents some of the most remarka-
bic features known in the history
of Jurisprudence in this country.
This occurred at Waxahachie du-
ring the last term of the Ellis coun-
ty District Court. A colored man
was indicted for entering into a con-
spiracy to murder. He was brought
on trial, the evidence was strong,
and, in spite of the good fight made
in his defense by his attorney, he
was convicted. A motion for a new
trial was made, and the Judge, see
ing that no error of law was made,
and believing the evidence suffi
cient, promptly overruled the mo
tion. When the prisoners were
brought in to be sentenced, this
negro was among them. When
asked if he had anything to say
why sentence should not be passed
upon him, he said he knew any
thing he might say would have no
weight with the court, as all the
forms of law had been complied
with, and he must go to the Peni.
tentiary, but that he had something
to say for the benefit of his colored
friends, and, with the permission Of
the court. he would make few re-
marks. The court told him that he
would listen. The negro started off
slowly and deliberately, reviewing
the testimony, showing the incon-
sistencies of the witnesses state
ments, and then, carried away with
the idea Of the wrong done him, he
burst forth In a strain Of eloquence
seldom heard. When he sat down
the Judge said: "Ssm, l thought
you guilty; don't believe SO now,
and will set aside the judgment
overruling your motion for a new
trial and give you another chance"
So eloquently had the negro pre-
sented his case that the county at
torney dismissed the case, and the
prisoner walked out of the court
room a free man. This is the first
case in Texas, at least, where a man
brought up to be sentenced was
ever turned loose. Every person
present says that the effort was the
finest one ever heard. The negro

Nonsense and Sense About Lookout
Mountain.

ColHm bus Dispatch: A writer in
the Cincinnati Commercial in refer
ring to the battle of Lookout noun
tain, says that during the battle
General Grant with his staff and
body guard, all mounted, were in
front of small fort, watching the
battle with anxiety, which told a
fearful story of their interest in the
contest. Finally" says this graph
ic writer, "a solitary horseman is
visible descending the mountain; all
eyes are turned upon him. The
ba' tie is won,' and strong men, who,
without wavering, faced the deadly
cannon, hugged each other like
boys, and many shed tears Of JOY"
This is the kind of nonsense that is
so often written about battles,
which the public is expected to re-
ceive as truth. The scene of able
bodied soldiers "hugging" each 9th
er is enough to make a horse
laugh. They don't usually indulge
in such nonsense. Let us give our
version Of General Grant at the bat
tie of Lookout mountain: On tho
morning of the fight he was in Fort
Wood, at Chattanooga, from which
the whole valley and mountain was
visible. He was not mounted, nor
was he surrounded by his staff or
escort. We were present with him
all the time in the fort, aud the
whole scene was q quiet one. Tho

Iy afterwards the fight could be
plainly seen as the troops moved
around the brow OF the mountain,
upon which there was an open spot,
where house was situated. The
battle did not take place on the
summit, as has been represented,
but lower down. The confederates
held their position on the mountain
all day, and when night came with

man or a gun, having held the road

Presidential.
Nashville American.

Nashville American.
We give the following extract
from a private letter received from
Washington, bearing date since the
Pennsylvania convention. 1t is
from a gentleman who is probably
as well posted as any other demo
crat in that city:
OF President making you will
hear a great deal in this city-out-
side of the halls of congress. L am
not so well posted about the House,
but among the democrats in the
Senate you will seldom ever hear
the subject mentioned. The two
or three democratic senators whose
names are mentioned in connection
with the nomination, go on with
their senatorial duties and appear
to be entirely oblivious of the fact
that there is to be presidential cleo
ton this year. To see them and
hear them you would not suppose
that they entertained any aspira
tions for the nomination.
OF Mr.. Tilden you will hear every
rumor pro and con which you will
see in the newspapers. My own
option, formed from the very best
sources open to me, is that Mr.. Til
den will not be candidate for the
nomination at Cincinnati; that he
will withdraw his name from the
consideration of the convention,
and do it in a manner that will be
in the highest degree creditable to
the exalted position he holds in the
democratic ranks. Upon whom his
mantle will fall cannot yet be told.
Some say Mr.. Randall, some say
Mr.. Payne, of Ohio, some say Judge
Field. On that subject | can only
give as an opinion that the popular
voice after the Chicago conventio n
will more surely declare the nomi-
nee at Cincinnati than prophecy can
now fOretell.
