She Wanted a Gazette in.
LISI. Monday night, at one of the many
comfortable homes which line Belden Ave-
nue, was enacted one of these unique and
thrilling domestic scenes that gives such
spicy and picturesque variety to the too of ten
dull monotony of our daily home lives. The
“good man of the house,” as was his wont
every Monday night, had stopped on his
way home to get his wife’s favorite paper,
the GAZETTE. “As usual,” it was late in
coming out, owing in part to the dilatory
habits of correspondents and advertisers,who
seem to have most thoroughly learned to
“putofI till to-morrow everything that can
possibly be done to-day." Also, having lost
faith in the promises of the office’s “spirit of
e\ ii” that “it would be out in about half an
l.tlll’," the exemplary husband wendcd his
ucary footsteps home. His anxious wire,
like Martha of old, “troubled about many
CMCS.” nervously inquired,—~not after his
health,—but if he had “brought home the
Gazn'r'rn.” The usual response, “No, it
wasn't oat,” closed the colloquy till supper
was over. The frugal meal enjoyed, the
easy chair was swung around, the boots pull-
ed off, the slippers donned and all made com-
fortable for an evening of dull and prosy
rest, The “good husbands” who spend their
evenings home, are tired, after the first few
months of wedded bliss. Our hero formed
no exception, and when the toiling, care-
worn wife,later in the evening dared to whis-
per in little shari'er tones thari when discus—
sing with Madame Bennett the latest pattern
for her new polonaise, this tired creature,
with a half grant and half snore, declared
the “GAZETTE wouldn’t be out for over an
hour, yet.” Then his half conscious facul-
ties wandered and he wondered if he hadn't
really got “malaria” in consequence of our
having no sewers to carry off the millions upon
millions of gallons of dirty water poured out
from our super-abundant water works. At
last, woman like, the patient wife “made
up her mind,” that of all the things she did
want in this world and would hare, it was
the Gaznrrn,and so shouting in his ear “John
Henry.you just rouse yourself up and go
down and get me the paper. I will have it .I’
That “1 trill” did the business as effectually
as if a boy’s three cent torpedo had been
exploded under his chair. He did “rouse
up" and at once, for he knew the expression
well. and even more familiarly the key note
in which it was uttered. He tumbled over
the rocker in getting up out of it, then shied
against the table, then mashed up his hat in
trying to seize that and lift it to his head, but
at last staggered down the stoop and started
for the “Bridge.” A feeling of relief and a
smile of gratified expectation played over
the careworn features of the wife as she saw
her “hubby” depart. She even, began to
moralize and question her own truer inward-
ness, why it was that she oftentimes felt
more pleasure in seeing him go out than in
his coming in, especially since he had got in
the way of always being “so tired” whenever
she had any little duty or plan‘ of pleasure
for him to share. She upbraided herself
with the rebuke that “it didn’t used to be
so, and she knew that it wasn’t right, and
yet, somehow, she couldn’t help it.” It was
in the midst Of these reveries and when
scarce had the echoes of his departing foot-
steps faded from her ears, when she was
startled by hearing John Henry stumbling
backinto the house again. “What in the
world is the matter now .7" shrilly demanded
the “disappointed woman.” “I say, wifey,”
ejaculated John Henry in his sweetest tones,
“I say it rains too hard to go to the Bridge
to-uight!” It is true it was dark as Erubus,
and the Bclden Avenue gas lights had not
been lit, according to ancient and honorable
usage, but never a drop of dew, even, had
wetted the earth, as the good wife well
kn cw. What could John Henry’s strange
conduct mean? With her was her mother
and sister as guests, and to them she had
over and over again, with wifely pride,
boasted that “John Henry,” with all his
faults, had never deceived her, and she
knew that whatever wrong he might ever do
he would never tell her a lie. It is such
beautiful faith as this, that snatches gleams
of Paradise down from above to irradiate all
our earthly pilgrimage. But here was a di-
lemma,wonder and doubt struggled fast with
a dreadful apprehension that there was
something wrong. Among John’s other
good qualities was his adamantine temper-
ance principles. For years he had been a
self—denying member of Concord Division,
in good and regular standing. Moreover his
wife had oft repeated to her ‘mother and his
mother-in—law, that if her “John Henry
ever should drink she would leave him in a
minute.” She had a thousand times vowed
alw never could and never would live with
aman who would so far dishonor himself
and disgrace her, as to get drunk. It is a
strange quality of the human mind that our
very fears for those we most love lead us
into the grossest errors when suspicions are
aroused by any unusual circumstance not
entirely clear to our own comprehension.
Somehdw John's strange, sleepy, shuffling
movements had excited a dozen unworthy
and unreasonable suspicions on going out
and now coming back in such a confused
and bewildered way and with such a lie in
his mouth as to its raining, her brain reeled,
her senses wavered, and before she: knew
what she had done she hysterically screamed
for her mother. The alert mother-in~law,
with cap-strings flying like streamers in the
wind, hurried to comfort the more than ever
bewildered wife and now thoroughly terrified
John Henry, and demanded to know what he
had been doing to her Betsey Jane? Was
ever an innocent man placed in so false and
yet sp exasperating a position. He had done
nothing, said nothing, hoped or wished for
nothing. And yet there in a swoon lay his
pale-faced wife, more dead than alive, while
mother-in-law and sister’in-law glowered at
him as suspiciously as if he had attempted to
murder the idol of his heart. Frantic with
the imploring cries of “What is the matter?"
and overwhelmed with fright, grief and an
astounding bewilderment, John dashed for
the telephone and called for all the doctors
and drug stores on his circuit to rush tohis
assistance.
It was well that his cries for help on the
telephone were so unintelligible that every—
body supposed a lunatic had the wires, else
the whole fire department might have been
called out and rushed up and squirted all
over the dwelling before this domestic com-
motion had subsided. Vl’indows were thrown
open, camphor and ice water dashed into the
poor victim’s face. Betsy Jane’s first return
to consciousness beheld John Henry bending
pleadingly over her and asking “what is the
matter, my dear 7” “What is th e matter with
you, John Henry ?” “Are you crazy, Betsy
Jane? there’s nothing the matter anywhere,
and what does all you .9” “Ail me, John Henry,
you know you’ve been drinking ! You, you
Ila-said, it-r-a-rained, John Henry, and you
know its as dry as a powder born.” This
was followed by more hysterical soils, deep-
drawn sighs and copious tears. But John
caught an idea. He saw his word was ques—
tioned. He at once demanded that his
mother—in—law and sister—in—law should rush
out to the pavement and see if it had not
rained. The ladies at once tripped to the
street, only too ready to do anything that
would explain this terrible domestic episode.
Back they came,.and John in tones of con-
scious vindication, demanded if it “hadn’t
rained 1’” “No,” said the maternal relative.
“It don’t rain. It hasn’t rained, but the boy
has wet down/the stoop, the yard, side wall: and
street with the hose ! " “Is that so,” quoth
John, “well, I know I heard the water drip-
ping and felt the wet on the sidewalk through
my slippers, and I thought it rained. But
never, mind, I’ll go and get the GAZETTE, so
do compose yourself.” And it is affirmed
that John never made such quick time to the
Bridge and back as on that occasion. He
brought not one copy of the paper which had
so nearly destroyed his domestic peace, but
three, one for each female relative, for John
reasoned correctly that it would soonest drive
all thoughts of its “raining” out of their
minds and he would the surer escape further
remarks. The poor wife pored over the
paper as never before. The marriagcs,deaths
and new advertisements were all critically
scanned, but somehow John didn’t seem to
take any interest in the paper that night, but
said he was so tired, he believed he would
slip off to bed, all of which 11c did, and it
isn’t safe to say “does it rain" to him now.

The States Attorney in the B11—
cholz Trial.
No recent trial in this vicinity has given
rise to so much comment as to its methods
as that of Bucholz, just finished. This com-
ment has been both favorable and adverse to
the methods employed by State’s Attorney
Olulslcad, and as a portion of the adverse
comment notably that from outside of the
State, has been predicated obviously 011 an
insufficient knowledge of the facts, we have
thought it a matter of sufficient public inter-
est to ascertain the position and opinion of
the State’s Attorney himself, and to Obtain
from him an authoritative statement of his
course of procccdurc. The following is that
statement in effect, and is made up mainly
from a recent Conversation with Mr Olmsteuti:
In the first place no “perjury" “as necessary,
as has been charged, in putting in effect the
legal fiction which made a seeming criminal
of the detective, Stark. In New York State
an oath would have been necessary to effect
this, and there the charge would have had‘
some ground. In this State it was not nece-
sary, was not used, and therefore the charge
is superfluous. Secondly, as to the use of the
detective in the business: At the last session
of the Legislature of this State an act was
passed empowering the governor to authorize
the employment of detectives “to investigate
and discover the perpetrators of any crime
committed‘within the borders of this State,
whenever the penalty for such crime is capi—
tal punishment or imprisonment for ten
years,” &c. When by the withdrawal of the
relatives of Schultc afte. the finding of the
money, the success of the enterprise was im-
perilled, Mr. Olmstead wrote to the Govern—
or, stating in full what had been done and
wth it was intended to accomplish, and ask-
ing permission to‘eoutinue the use of the de-
tective on the part of the State. That per-
mission the governor granted, giving Mr.
Olmstead full discretion in the matter, with,
as stated, a. knowledge of the entire facts.
It will thus be seen that a large discretion
was allowed in this matter,and Mr. Olmstead
was to judge of the propriety of the methods
he employed to arrive at a. truth, valuable
alike to the public, as a protection from fur—
ther crimes of the kind, and to the ends of
justice in securing the author of this terrible
crime for punishment. Mr. Olmstead states
positively that the detective Stark was in-
structed not to in any manner compel a con-
fession from Bucholz, or to use any means
of extorting criminating statements from
him. Whatever he might say voluntarily was
to be used, and he was only to be led up to
making voluntary statements,aud none other.
The detective, Stark, stated under oath on
the witness stand, and repeatedly in conver-
sation elsewhere, that he never asked the
prisoner, Bucholz, if he committed the mar—-
der, and that Bucholz never confessed that
he did. Mr. Olmstead also states that Stark
was instructed particularly never to ask that
question of Bucholz. Now, whatever may
be thought concerning the propriety of em-
ploying the detective, Stark, as was done, it
will be seen that the law allows some latitude
in the employment of detectives, and that it
was a matter for the State’s Attorney to deter-
mi ue how that could be done to the best advan-
tage. Mr. Olmstead declares tl‘at he sought on-
ly to discover the truth and that the detective
in this case was instructed to report all facts
Which were developed in his intercourse with
the prisoner, those which bore upon his in-
nocence as much as those of an opposite
character, and that only the truth was
sought. As to'the matter of the axe which
has been severely criticised Mr. Olmstead
states that immediately after the murder he
examined the axe, the chopping block, the
chickens’ heads, the blood, &c., &c., and
made up his mind that the deed had not
been done with that instrument, and it was
only after Bucholz himself had shown the
detective Stark how such a wound as that
in the back of the old man's head could be
made by such an axe that it assumed impor-
tance in his mind as a factor in the testi—
mony. Then, however, the handle was mis
sing and he was assured by competent chem-
ical authority that traces of blood upon the ax
Or handle would have so far changed as to
be beyond identification as human blood or
blood Of a fowl. In view of the adverse
criticism which the conduct of this case has
elicited from the press in some quarters, we
give Mr; Olmstead the benefit of this state-
ment, which, as we have said, in all essential
particulars represents his action.
Line upon Line.
Judge Pierce, of Philadelphia, in an ad~
dress to the grand jury,‘declared that in that
city there are about seven thousand taverns,
or public drinking places, this being an aver-
age of one tavern to every one hundred in-
habitants, or in fact, tO every twenty-five
adult males in the entire city. He also de-
clared that of forty-four thousand, nine bun:
dred and nineteen arrests in that city from
all causes during 1876, there were twenty-
four thousand, five hundred and eleven, or
more than one half of the entire number, for
intoxication or: liquor selling. His careful
estimate of the cost of the traffic to the pub-
lic shows fully $1,200,000 per annum for the
arrest, conviction and punishment of its vic-
tims in Philadelphia, in addition to $21,000,
000 squandered here in the purchase of
liquor by its consumers. In face of these
figures the words of Judge Pierce seem none
too strong when he says: “Is itawonder
that when hard times come there is so much
suffering among that class of our citizens
whose hard earnings are thus diverted from
the savings institutions to indulgencics which
are destructive to both health and happiness?
But this deplorable traffic comes freighted
to us with greater burdens than those who
affect material wealth. It brings in its train
the broken health and squandered fortunes
of thousands; the sighs and broken hearts
of mothers, wives, sisters and children.
Still another postmaster has a story to
tell. It is not a case of the pistol this time,
but of the torch and the threatening letter,
and the episode occurred in West Virginia,
very near to the civilized North. It illus—
trates the utter fatally of those Southern
whites who will deliberately assail their
own interests in order to gratify partisan
spite. If there ever was a useful citizen,
this man seems to have been one. He fairly
created a community by the outlay of his
capital, spending, it is said, $100,000 in the
erection of mills, houses, shops,scl1ool-l1ouses
etc, Here was a prize for a thinly settled
country! Here was a man, it would be
supposed, towar whom all classes of the
people would fee kindly, and who would
be the object of a friendly conspiracy to in-
duce him to remain where he was and con-
tinue his useful work. But no; he was “a
d——d Yankee,” Land that kind of man
seems quite as unpopular now in the South
as he was before the war; He could not
even escape political hatred by refraining
from very active participation in politics.
Several of his buildings have been burned
one after another, and now he has left the
place which his wealth might have continued
to enrich. There would seem to belittle
to hope for from a people whose party pas-
sions blind them to their own pecuniary
interests even when those interests are so
plainasthcywcrc in this case. Only the
slow porcesses of civilization, probably, can
bring about a change for the bcthF.—.N. Y.

Ancient Chronicles of the Birth,-
sey Family.
BY NATHAN BIRDSEY, JOHN BROOKS AND SEY-
MOUR WRITING, ALL'DECEASED;
Among the papers of the late Seymour
\Vhiting, who died on the 14th of August at
the advanced age of 84 years and 9 months,
was found the following interesting chron—
ological record of his ancestry which is worth
preserving. The John Brooks whose name
appears in the record, was the father of the
veteran Capt. John Brooks of the present
day. Rev. Natlian Birdsey the original
chronicler, was the great grandfather of the
late Seymour Whiting and also of the present
Capt. J Ohu Brooks. It will be seen be com-
mences the Chronicles; with his great grand-
father, who was born in 1660 over 250 years
ago and about the time of the landing of our
Pilgrim Fathers in the Mayflower. Whether
he was born in this country or in England
the record does not state, but probably Eng -
land was his native place. The account
reads:
“The following record was copied from

Signed John Brooks, who
at the time of copying was in his 80th year
and was the first grand child of the Rev’d
Nathan Birdsey.
Dorothy Birdsey, wife to Nathan Birdsey
and mother to his numerous family died
September 21, 1807, aged 88 years, eleven

Aunt Williston died August 19th, 1845
aged 82, the latest of grandfather Birdsey’s

6 daughters. Since, the death of Helen Bird
sey, I have continued the record Of grand
father Birdsey down to the death of his last
child Mrs. Sarah Williston, who died in
Northampton, Mass, as above stated, and
was the wife of the Rev. Payson Williston
of that place. Attest,

I presume that the present town of East
Hampton must have been set off from North-
ampton, as I have no recollection of a town
of that name in my early days. I remember
seeing the Rev. P. Williston but once at my.
father’s in Stratford, at which time he wore
a large (I should think) wool wig that curled
down on his shoulders.”—-Standard.
A Curious Industry. . '
The principal industry of the town of
West Falmouth, Mass., is tying business tags
with bits of strings, by which the tags may
be attached to articles which require to be
labeled. A correspondent writing from that
village says: “These tags are cut elsewhere
and sent in bulk to West Falmouth. The
string is also sent in skeins. The business
here is to cut the string in suitable lengths,
tie one into each tag and return it to the
manufacturer in Boston. This sounds sim-
ple enough and small enough, and yet it fur-
nishes occupation to between three and four
hundred persons, and involves an elaborate
system of bookkeeping. The business has
been carried on by a woman for the last
twenty years. The orders which were once
filled ina bushel basket now require large
freight boxes, and amount to an aggregate of
forty millions of tags in a year. The little
pink strings are reeled off and cut in given
lengths and bunches, each bunch having 101
strings. These strings are given out by the
1,010, together w'fil a corresponding number
of tags, to people comingto the office for
them, and are paid for at the rate of twelve
to seventeen cents a thousand. Young chil—
dren tie with their mothers, and even old
men, and it is the great source of pin money
in the community.
A funny story is old times on the frontier;
The Advertiser’s Colorado correspondent
tells about a Dutchman, the proprietor of a
line of stages, who was collecting $2 apiece,
from the passengers, by way of fare. All
had paid except one. and he, drawing a large
revolver, pointed it at the head of the col—
lector and hoarsely said, “Won’t that pass
me?" Perhaps unmoved, the Dutchman
said: “Oh, no! we cats dcm tings here. Two
tollars please I”

Celebrated Safes,
In purchasing a. Safe, we wish to call your
attention to some of the important advantages
our Safes possess over all others, and which
make them the cheapest and best Safes now
made.
“ lst. Our “PATENT Ixsmn ,Bon'r Wonk"
consists in placing the bolts and locks on the
inside of the door (as shown in the cut above)
where they are at all times accessible, and
can be cleaned and kept in order, and. thus
prevent them from unexpectedly locking you
out. In all other Safes the bolts are placed
next the outside plate of iron, being covered
completely by the filling, consequently im-
possible to oil or clean them without digging
out the filling, which is expensive, besides
losing the use of the Safe several days. As
the filling in our Safes is between the locks
and bolts and the outside plate of the door,
in most cases we can unlock our safes on the
combination after they have passed through a
severe fire, which aves breaking them Open.
2d. Our “PA HINGED CAP” consists
of the back plate 0 e door being hung on
hinges, and fastened by a thumb-screw,which
enables one to have access to the locks and
bolts by simply removing the thumb-screw.
3d. While other safe-makers use three
wheel locks on their fire-proof safes (reserv-
ing the best four-wheel locks for bank safes),
we put on our FOUR-\VHEEL LOOKS on all
safes, from the smallest to the largest, and for
simplicity and durability cannot be excelled.
4th. All our Safes are IRON-LINED INSIDE,
instead of wood-lined as in other safes, which
enables us to use the the greatest amount of
water in our filling without danger of the
Safc‘s being damp. All corners of the Safes
are secured with angle iron, which, together
with the very hard nature of our filling, prev
vents them from injury from falling, or fall—
ing walls or timbers. Our Safes have THREE
FLANGES instead of single or double as in
others, and are made with and without inside
doors. In the great Boston fire out Safes had
the champion record, as was fully proved at
the time, to these important improvements
do we owe our success and the great popular-
ity our safes have attained throughout the
country. After that great fire we published
a. complete list of our Safes exposed,those that
failed to preserve their contents, besides those
that were successful,. and for months chal-
lenged our competitors to follow our example
which they would not do, as they knew that
by so doing they would only assist us in dem-
onstrating to the world the superiority of our
Safes, and our claim to the champion record.
Although that Great Fire so conclusively
proved the superiority of our Safes to resist
intense heat, we believed that we could im-
prove them, and. we have, therefore, since
that time, increased the thickness of the walls,
added to the number of flanges, and strength-
ened them in. various ways, until we now
manufacture a Safe better than ever before,
and unequalled forits excellence. It has been
our constant aim to make the BEST SAFE that
can be produced, believing that, especially in
purchasing a safe to keep that which may
have cost a. lifetime to accumulate, the best is
decidedly the cheapest. In these dull times
it is the custom of many safe—makers to man-
ufacture several grades of cheap safes, and
recommend that which can be sold the cheap-
est, without regard to quality, and many
safes are now in use that are painted finely
outside, but are worthless to preserve their
contents from fire. We make but one class
of Safes, which is the best we know how to
produce. Send for descriptive catalogue.

FACTS ABOUT TOBACCO.
At the request of the publishers of the
Homilelz’c Monthly, Prof. Thwing has pres
‘pared a book with the above title. From the
advance sheets we make a brief extract:
“A physician. who was a distinguished
advocate of temperance, but who was a. slave
to the tobacco habit, was returning home
from a National organization, of which he
was the presiding officer. Talking with Dr.
R. T. Trall, of New York, on his own iuc0n-
sistency of example, the physician exclaim—
ed: ‘Tobacco is as much worse than liquor
as palsy is worse than fever. I know it! I
feel it,?but—-.” He shook his head and did
not finish the sentence, leaving the impression
of the helplessness of his condition in this
terrible bondage. A few weeks after he died
suddenly, a victim to that poison, the chem-
ical properties of which he so well under—
stood, but the spell of which he could not
break. ,
“A man who was once a Brooklyn pastor,
writesz ‘When about sixteen, suffering from
IQOIhAChC’, I was induced by my landlord. :1
pipe 5m0k01‘. *0 try tobacco as a. remedy. I
fell at once into the habit of chewing and
cmtinucd the abominable practice wiihout
intermission or moderation for eleven years.
As a result the perpetual and unmeasured
waste of saliva wrought deep injury. I often
felt languor and faintness, but would not
then admit, what now I do not doubt, that
tobacco was in fault. Grfluating at nine—
teen from Harvard College, I took charge for
three years of an academy, suffering the
while the effects of false living and tobacca—
chewing of previous years. I was licensed to
preach; was ordained and married. Though
dyspeptic I took little exercises, but always
set a decanter of liquor fire (brandy) on the
dinner table. Through Saturday night a pot
of green tea strongas lye, or coffee, black as
ink, and a box of cigars, inspired the sermons
for Sunday. With nerves tingling from the
action of liquids which no swine will drink,
and of the plant which no swine" will eat, the
minister would portray the ruin wrought by
intoxicating drink. For four years, ending
in 1837, I was a pastor in Brooklyn, N. Y.
Not for one week was I a free, healthful,
sober man. It was a long, sick, feverish
dream; midnight blackness and sufferings
which mock endeavors to describe, yet which
did not incapacitate me from customary of—
ficers. Very few knew my condition, and I
received'an honorable dismissal at my own
request.’ Ashe had added alcoholic drinks
to tobacco, he now adds opium to those other
poisons, convulsions and fits having set in
Tobacco had been for awhile dropped, and
an attempt was also made to abstain from
wine and brandy. ' ‘The substitution of
laudanum for alcohol was a fate] move; it
held every, fibre of my frame in an inexor-
able clutch. While obliged to use opium
daily to keep the current of life flowing, I
required an excitement that opium could
not give, and so tried strong tea, coffee, and
tobacco-smoking. These all were not enough.
There wasmothing for me but to try alcohol
again, so that now I had opium, alcohol, tea,
coffee, tobacco-smoking fastened on use, and
all in excessive quantities. Again I went
back to my dungeon.’
“Pages follow of terrible experience. His
brain seemed on fire; for ten days together,
having not a moment’s release from pain and
hardly any sleep, he became delirious.
Like those in mania apolu, he heard hissing
and whispering about him , and sounds in his
head like the seething, rushing, and roaring
like a storm at sea. His mind was wretched.
His soul was full of remorse. He had left
the ministry. His home was broken up.
His family was scattered. He was a wan—
derer. He preached in Baltimore a few, Sun—
days and disgraced himself by a two days
drunk; hid himself two years in Vermont;
studied law, lectured, and brought up in New
York hospital. Twice he thought himself
cured, but the book leaves him an opium—
eater, and cautioning all 'who are tempted to
substitute one ruinous habit in place of ’an-
other.’ ”

If, therefore, the people of Kentucky
would prosper as Ohio has prospered; if they
would develop the resources of their natu.
rally wealthy State, they should multiply
school houses, and remand the Democratic
party, which has so long been a millstone
around their neck, to a back seat. Talk
about her beautiful women, fine horses, and
chivalrous men will accomplish nothing in
the right direction. The changes that would
infuse life into Kentucky and build it up
would drive the Democratic party to the
wall. If any man wishes to see what a
curse Democratic rule may prove, he has
only to look into and analyze the history of
Kentucky as compared with that of Ohio.—

The slander so often reiterated by the op-
ponents of his policy, that Secretary Sher—
man having entered public life a poor man
has amassed a large fortune while in the pub-
lic service, though his official income would
not permit him to do so honestly, has been
very effectually dealt with by his brother,
the General. Talking with an interviewer
at Atlantic. City ini‘his frank way, General
Sherman said :' “John isn’t what you people
here in the east would call rich; far from
it; about $120,000 or $150,000 in addition to
what belongs to his wife." The Secretary,
his brother adds, “has never made one dol-
lar out of his positions as a public officer.
What he has he made in his profession and
out of ablind and sash factory in Ohio, in
which he has long had an interest. I was
separated from'him in early life, but I know
heis a good citizen, 3 good husband, a good
brother, and that he was a good son.” The
General thinks that the democratic Congress
has it in its power to make General Grant
the indispensable candidate of the loyal peo-
ple of the Union, and that if nominated
under such circumstances he would be clect- ‘
ed by anpverwhelming majority.
