THE UBIQUITOUS JUDGE.
GLITTER!NG GENERALIlIEs AND GLIMPSE
INTO THE GRANT GLORIEs.

INTO THE GRANT GLORIEs.
Judge Mackey was in town yesterday. As
the Judge likes to talk and the public likes
to hear him, an Observer reporter was de-
lighted at meeting with him in cloth
ing store, where he was being fitted to an
elegant cloth coat Upon the expression of a
desire for an interview, the Judge sat down
with the bargain for the coat unfinished and
the clerk looking disconnected.
To induce the Judges eloquence to break
forth, one has but to puncture hole in the
dikes Of the political sea. The reporter sug-
gested Grant in the South and especially in
South Carolina.
II do not know single Democrat in
South Carolina" said the Judge, in his man:
ly bass, pronouncing the second syllable of
Carolina distinctly, but with none Of that
dwelling upon it which boasts that the speak
er is not as other men, "who will vote for
Grant in preference to the regular Democrat
ic nominee; but on the contrary, do not
know of any who do not prefer him above all
other Republican candidates. His speech at
Galveston was slap in the face to the North
ern Republicans. Their theory is that the
Southern people are but the Confederate
army in citizens clothes-a full.Aedged bird
Waiting for fine day to fly. Grant declared
that they were loyal men, and that in another
war the blue and the gray would fight SIDE
by side, and another war, too, is contempia-
ted against Mexico in his scheme of centra IL
zation, and not only third but fifth and a
sixth term. Texas now claims $75,OOO,O00
idemnity from Mexico for spoliations CON-
mitted on the border. This claim is the ex-
cuse for the war, and Grant will rejoice in
the opportunity of attacking this magnificent
country, consisting of twenty-seven States,
with II 100000 population. The blue and
the gray will fight together, and, by AUDI
cious distribution of military patronage in the
South, the opportunity for which this will
give him, he will become the hero of the
South as we'll as of the North. Two words
will pass away, or rather one word, rebel,
will pass away, and another, carpet bagger,
will migrate The Southern men will flock
to Mexico to represent the Mexicans in Con-
gress. The troubled 'Greaser will cry out in
the bitterness of his soul, Carpet bagger,
and the Carolinian, the Georgian and the
Louisianian will reply, Gentlemen, we are
compelled to do this thing to get even.' Yes,
sir, the South will be most easily reconciled
to Capitalization under changed circumstan-
ces. The cry against the third term all
comes from the North now. All we care for
is to elect our candidate"
This glittering vision was highly entertain.
ing, and it was with regret that the reporter
changed the subject to more immediate ma.
terial matters, with the inquiry as to the
Judges choice for President.
Fl have no hesitation in saying that R. B.
Hayes is my own choice above all other men,
but after him l am for the nominee of the
national Democratic party; and in this con-
nection would say that there is no doubt
that Grant will be the Republican nominee,
and the only hope for the Democratic party
is to oppose him with champion of the civic
