A Whale in the Harbor.

On saturday last several persons
reported the presence in the harbor
OF II gignntig cetacean, but the story
was not very generally credited.
Yesterday morning, however, Capt.
Kevel, Of the tug Hampton, while
steaming down the harbur, saw q
whale, apparently about 80 or 40 feet
in length, lying with portion Of his
head out Of the water on the shore
near Castle Pinckney. The monster,
however, got off tile shoal and soon
disappeared. lie has since been seen
in various portion, of the harbor. aud
~. expedition is organizing to Gap
urc him. Tie size Of the whale is

Ex- Gov. Perry on Grant.

During the whole term Of his
Presidency Grant was surronnlel by
such corrupt scoundrels rs B-lknap,
Babcock, Shepherd and others, whom
he protected in their rascality, and
who are still his associates. 1t isa
we'll known fact that he was convicted
by every member of Johnson's Cabi-
net Of pnlpnblc lying and treachery.
Now, if these quasi Democrats are
in favor of electing such man as
/. S. Grant third time to the Pres
idcnti al chair, i'll violation of the
example Of Washington and all the
other American Presidents, they arc
either fools, knaves, or unprincipled
Swiss, ready TO fight under any banner
that will pay, and dishonor thoir
State.
Who shall be the next Democratic
candidate for the Presidency next
fal, ought to depend OIL who is sup.
posed to be the most available can.
didatc, whether rilden, Hendricks,
Buyard, Hancock, or any other true
and honorable Democrat. The
Southern Sites should not be proni-
nent in his nomination, but leave the
election entirely to Northern Demo-
Gratis. No candidate should he NOM
mated who is not able to carry New
York and Indiana. If Tilden and
Hendricks could carry these States,
their nomination would be proper
and handsome thing, as they were
cheated out Of their election four
years ago. But it would seem, from
The last election in New York, that
Governor Tilden cannot unite the
Democratic "otc Of that State. Gov
crnor Seymour, it is thought, could
carry the State Of New York, but he
will not consent to he candidate.
William Iowndes, Of South Carolina,
said that "lhc Presidency ought not
TO be sought for or refused" This
should be the doctrlne of every pat.
riotic statesman in the land.
The con !uct of Tildcn and Hen
dricks in submitting to the inaugura.
tion Of Hayes and Wheeler, under
the circumstances, was wise, unsel6sh
and patr' otic The Demoofats in
Corgrcss agreed to leave the whole
matter to arbitration The arbitra-
tors refused to hear the gross and
well known frauds perpetrated in
Louisiana aud Florida, aud declared
Hayes aud Wheeler elected, although
they were beaten by more than thres
hundred thousand votes The Dem
ocratlc pnrly was bound in honor to
abide this unjust award. Any attempt
to inaugurate the candidates really
elected would have been revolution,
and would have involved the whole
Union in a bloody civil war

There is just now too much "food"

There have been some scruplcs in

We are unable to see the "whys or

Editors Journal AS it was not on
the programme Of the central COM
mittee to hold meeting in Gyptum
township, some Of the enterprising
and wide awake republicans thereof
secured some good speakers for the
night Of the 18th Of October. The
Gypsum township republicans turned
out well, and there was good crowd
from Eureka
w. H. WheelOck, the committee
man Of this township, presided, and
Wayne Amos was elected secretary.
Mr.. g. X. CLANCY, Of your city, but
late Of Indiana, was introduced, and
elucidated his text on the doctrines
and traditions of the democratic party
in fOrcible, amusing and eloquent
manner.
Mr.. L. Bond argued the question
Of States rights, and read in an admi-
able manner the correspondence be-
tween Wade Hampton and John
Sherman, and also the poem on
HamptOn's significant appeal to the
Virginians. Mr.. Bond concluded with
a touching and eloquent appeal to
every republican to stand by the party
I'm the defense of the National Union
and, especially, of the freedmen citi-
zens of the South, who are Mt the
mercy Of their old Oppressors, and are
deprived of their constitutional rights.
The soldiers, whom those freedmen
befriended ut the risk of their lives,
were asked not to forget at the ballot
box::their faithful allies.
Mr.. Wells, the chip-gatherer- he
calls himself-with an earnest and
patriotic speech gave his experience
As Virginia democrat in his early
days, and rs soldier In helping to put
down the rebellion. He concluded
with Q sound, common sense argument
in favor Of republicans supporting the
ticket Of the party ~ nominated, and
not be deluded by the cry Of indepen-
dents, which can only result In favor
Of the democrats.
The meeting was enthusiastic. After
the speeches, . vote Of thanks were
given the speakers, and three rOusing
cheers for the ticket Of the humane,
patriotic and loyal republican party.
