The Wear and Tear of Ltfe.—The
carta*, anxieties and misfortunes of life have
as much to do with shortening it as disease.
Tiny are in fnct the source of many ailments
and physical disabilities. Ncyvous weakness,
dyspepsia, affections of the liver, disturban
ces of the bowels, headaches, lr pychondria
and monomania are among these distressing
fiuits. It is. then, fore, of great importance
that persons whose minds are oppressed with
heavy business responsibilities, or harassed
by family troubles, or excited by speculation,
or perplexed by a multiplicity of enterprises,
»r in any way over-taxed or overworked,
bonld k«*ep up thtir stamina by the daily use
_. a wholesome tonic. TkousanJsof persons
thus circumsl.au til are enabled to bear up
against tho difficulties* in which they are in-
volvcil. an«l to retain their strength, health
and mental clearness, by the regular use of
Hostetler's Stomach Bitters. Diseases which
are prone to attack the laxly when debilita
ted and broken down by over much brain-
woik, or exhausting physical labor, arc kept
at bay by the resistant power with which
this incomparable tonic endows the nervous
system ami the vital organ*. At this season
when tlic heat is evaporating the elements of
treogth from every pore, an iavigorant is
absolutely essential to the safety and comfort
of the public, and is required even by the more
robust if they desire to keep their athletic
capabilities in status quo. Hence a course of
Hosteller's Bitters is particularly useful at
this per od of the year as a del cls.’ against
the iuvisi’ole disease afloat in a sultry atmos
phere. It is the most riotentof ell preventive
medicines, and for all complaints which af
fect the stoma* h, the livtr and the bowels,
and interfere with the perfect digestion and
assimilation of food, it is the standard remedy.

Jackson, delivered it with much earnestness,
and gave evidence of a predicted success.
W. L. Scott chose the bell of Edgar A.

voice modulated to represent the different
tones was pleasing and correct.
S. L. Smith did very well in speaking of
South American Republics.
M. W. Taylor then paid Bishop Pierce a
high compliment, not only in having chosen
cne of the Bishop's productions, but in his
fine delivery of it.
Messrs. Taylor, Ray, Scott and Kinnebrew
did themselves justice and reflected honor on

The Milledgeville bsnd interspersed the ex

Benediction by Dr. Myers.
The Knights of Jericho had their annual

gold biato bonds. Road cost $20,000 per
m le. The road was in operation 05 miles in
1863. The iron was taken up by the Con
federate authorities and paid for. The Stal
government had nothing to do with the mat-'
ter. Th«? following Leisure obtained. The
:*t giving aid was liascd oh the falsehood
that the State owed the road for the iron
token by the Confederate States government
R A. Crawford says Wm. L. Aveiy told him
that Bullock got $100,000 for indorsing the
bonds. B. Y. Sage, of the Air-Line Road,
swears that Bullock told him before he signed
the bill giving aid to the Air-Line, that “if
there were anything to be muile out of it,
that be (witness) might count upon him
(Bullock) as being in, as be teas on (7tc make”
aad when Bullock indorsed the first Air-Line
bonds, he said “even if the company did
cqmply with the law and Constitution in
every particular, he never would sign another
bond unless they would turn out that
damned rascal Austell, because Austell was
backing up Angier and he would not
give aid to bis enemies.” This shows
the morality of the noble Rufus in
these matters. The indorsements were
given in every case before the lawful
amount of road was completed. Clews, the
Treasurer of the Company, and the negotia
tor of large numbers of the bonds, knew of
this. Finney, the financial agent of the road,
kept him constantly informed. Clews said
ho could take care of himself. Bonds
were issued fifteen or twenty miles in
advance all the time, which Clews
knew. Pinney says tiiat Conant told him
they gave R dand B. Hall, legislator from
Glynn, $7,000 in stock for his services in re
gard to the bill, and also gave him a lot in
Brunswick worth $1 ,0 0. Houston swears
that Hall was put out because the company
did not do enough for him for his valuable
services, and he left the impression on wit
ness’ mind that improper influences were
used to pass the bill, and he
threatened the company. W. K. DeGraffen-
ried notified Clews’ agent, Lewis, that the
bonds were issued against law. The second
indorsement bill was gotten up in Conant’s
office, in New York. W. L. Avery duw it.
Frost, the President of the road, testifies
that ke refused to accept bonds in advance
of the work that Bullock and Kimball want
ed to deliver, but Kimball did procure and
use them. Frost says repeated illegal out
rages were attempted by the contractors, Co
nant and Avery.
Wm. L. Avery says Clews knew all about
the matters, and was to have a fourth inter
est James H. Leilie testifies that Clews got
him into the affair, anu Clews knew of the
illegalities The testimony against Clews
shows his thorough knowledge of every
fraud.
Jacob H. Scbiff swears that he negotiated
$1,816,090 of the Itonds in Europe for
,459,582 88 on Clew’s pledge that the
bonds were all right He w;*s to account for
the bonds at 771 snd 80 cents, lcUiinin;
surplus over. Sc:iiff had the exclusive right
to sell them iu Europe from Clews, but
Clews broke the contract. Babcock says

The Mctrojiolilau Bank loaned $75,010 on
100bonds; the National Bark $133,000 on
190 bonds; *•. M-arxsbought ,151 bonds in
London, October, 1871, at 66i cents. Other
news show that Kimball got a million and a
half of dollars from the sale and hypotheca
tion of these bonds. < 'f the indorsed bonds
all were rejtorted to the committee but 219,
and all of the State bonds but 382; and 307
bonds were issued in duplicate, and 41 bonds
in triplicate. This makes $5,^59,00*0 of
bonds illegal and forged, used by this road.
There was no investment of private par
ties in the road. Certificates w -re prepared
in blank by the engineer aud fil'cd : t pleas
ure. All of the bonds were indorsed by Bul
lock without date. Some 1,680 bonds were
; gncd by Frost after be quit being President.
For $1,125,000 of the bonds there is no road
show. There are three millions of debt
against the road. The committee decides the
whole batch of these bonds invalid. The
question is ably discussed. Railroad charters
arc laws, and people arc, on notice of
laws and Constitntions. .Public agents
can only bind to the extent of their power.
None of the conditions of the l?w were com
plied with in these bonds either as to the
completion of the road or private investment
The Statens agents could not indorse illegally,
aad'purchasers must look to the agent’s au
thority, which is open and limited. As be
tween the state and the original contractors
on these bonds, the (State is not bound, os
they had knowedge of the frauds. Nor
the State bound to innocent purchasers from
the contractors. Tne authority to contract
must exist before liability begins.
The purchaser must look to the authority,
an 1 he cannot benefit by bis negligence.
The restrict!-ns of law’s he must notice.
The authorises ore full and explicit on this.
An illegal indorsement cannot be made good
by any amount of circulation. • ts invalidity
is incurable No inquiry was made by pur
chasers; they bought ou the Governor’s
signature.
The Cortersville and Van Wert Railroad
has two sets of indorsed bonds for the same
miles, $275,000 in one batch and $500,000
the other, both out. The testimony shows
that the road was not built when the bonds
were indorsed, and Bullock knew it Her ry
Clews has the first bonds, and as treasurer of
the company knew the fraud. The commit
tee report these bonds void.
Two million currency bonds were issued
to raise money on temporarily. Three mil
lions gold bonds were afterwards issued to
pay the money. Bullock sent Kimball to
tike up the currency bonds to cancel
ClewB held $300,000 and Russell Ssje $530,-
090 currency bonds.
The former to cover $47,000 debt; the lat
ter $275,000. Sage got $500,000 gold bonds
to indemnify liim and refused to give up the
currency bonds. Clews also refused. Kim
ball took the currency he got up and bor
rowed money on them from J. Boorman and
A. G. Johns, getting from Boorman $84,000 on
$120,000 of bonds, and from Johns $35,000
on $50,000 bonds. The cream of this trans
action was that Kimball bamboozled these
sharp New York brokers by getting their
money on Bullock’s order to cancel and re
turn said currency bonds to the Georgia
Treasury, they taking Kimball’s word, and
declining even to read the order. The State
got none of the money. Ti.e genii
were in fault for being deceived. Tin com
mittee report these bonds ns of no force.
The Macon and Brunswick Itoad has hod
$2,550,000 bonds indorsed, of which $2,10°,-
00) were under the present Constitution, for
which there is an equivalent of private in
vestment, but not for the $450,000. The
committee makes no recommendation. These
bonds brought from sixty cents, to par.
The gold bonds were three millions. Kira
ball got $250,000 for the Opera House
James $100,000 for the Executive mansion
Henry Clews has $102,000 unsold; $300,000
have been returned to the Treasury, and
$2,598,000 wtre sold and hypothecated. Of
this last sum Clews sold $1,650,000, and Kim
ball manipulated the rest Clews got $1,432,-
250 for his bonds, and paid $370,000 on old
bonds, $100,000 on State Road bonds, $609,-
192 78 on drafts and notes of Bullock and
Blodgett,on account of Stale Road, $198,700
to the National Bank, and $254,000 for ex
penses and fees. The monej paid on Bul
lock’s and Blodgett’s drafts Wits misappro
priated, and Clews did not get the gold bonds
as collateral security but for sale. The
money raised by Kimball on these bonds
can’t be estimated. The committee recom
mends all these gold bonds to be paid, as
Bullock was not restricted by law as to their
issue. The gold bonds held by Clews are
illegally in his hands, in opinion of the com
mittee.
The South Georgia and Florida Railroad,

Tne Mate Road mortgage bonds, to-tlic sum
of $614,000, issued by Jenkins and used by
Bullock, are valid.
We coine to Henry Clews, the great gob-
IJing Clews, the man of bonds and rousing
interest. His testimony is volumnious and
thrilling. According to his statement, he is a
pure man, an injured man of excessive inno*
cence. No wrong thought ever rippled over
his virtuous soul. His firm advanced $2,844,-

Democratic meeting in DeKalb.
According to previous announcement tlic
Democracy of DeKalb met in Decatur on
the 20th and was called to order by Judge E.
A. Davis, chairman of the Democratic Exec
utive Committee.
By request of the chair Colonel T. C. How
ard explained that the object of the meeting
was to appoint delegate, to the Gubernato
rial Convention to be held on the 21th inst.
On motion of CoJ. R. A. Alston, a commit
tee of seven was appointed to prepare busi
ness and select delegates to represent the
county in said convention. On this commit
tee the following gentlemen were appointed,
to-wit:
K. A- Alston, Daniel Johnson, Jus. R.
Smith, P. B. McCurdy, W. P. Bond, M. A.
Candler, Ed. Cox.
While the committee was out, Judge Junius
Hilyer was called for, and in a few forcible
remarks explained that he could not, as a
hardshell Democrat, take either Grant or
Greeley, personally. . But the question was
not between these tWo men alone.
The issue is between two great hosts in the
land ; an army of office-seeking scoundrels
in the wake of Grant, and mi.iiuns of honest
men rallying to the standard of Greeley with
UiC8ole purpose of hurling Grant aud his
vultures from office and restoring constitu
tional government These last are the per
sons he supports when he votes for Greeley.
Colonel Howard was next called, and in his
usual cle> ant styl$ explained that he was a
little more thorough in his support of the
cause thin was Judge Hillyer. The speaker
illustrated his position by referring to the
history of Paul, the great Apo tie, who
st>od by approving while Christians were
being stoned to death, but who after the true
light had been let into his own dark soul,
was the most zealous of all in the defense of
the persecuted Christians. Colonel H. claimed
that Greeley's action not only showed re
pentance for the past, but in taking this step
he had given his countrymen an exhibition
of sublimest moral courage.
This speech was interrupted by the en
trance of the committee with the following
resolutions:
The Democratic party of DeKalb county
this day assembled in convention, in view of
the great exigency into which an unfaithful
administration of public afluirs has brought
the Government, and in view of the utter
ruin and overthrow wLich threatens the lib
erties and peace of the Southern States that
the vilest interests and passions of a party
might be subserved, hereby declare our ap
proval of the action of the Baltimore Con
vention in the nomination of Horace Greely
as a Candida's for the Presidency.
We believe in view of all our complica
tions that the friends of law, peace, honest
administration and of a re-united country
could not have done better than to have se
lected the candidate they iiave presented, un
der whose lead the truest friends of the Re
public may make a final stand for the gov
ernment of their fathers. Therefore.
Resolved, That we do heartily indorse the
nomination of Horace Greeley its the candi
date of the friends of law. order, peace and
honest administration, and we promise to do
all that is in our power, aa honest aud patri
otic men to secure his election.
Resolved, That the Democracy of this
county take especial pride and pleasure in
pointing to Governor Smith’s administration
as a signal rebuke and striking contrast to
the one of his immedi ite predecessor, and we
hereby decla e our wish to see him renomi-
n te l by the convention which is to assemble
on the 24th instant, and the delegatus are
hereby instructed to cast the vote of this
county for Governor Smith.
The following gentlemen were chosen
delegates te the State Convention on the 24th:
Hon. Junius Hillyer, P. B. McCurdy,
Daniel Johnson, James J. Morrison, R. A.
Alston and Dr. W. P. Bond.
After considerable debate the above reso-
utions were adopted with a few dissenting
votes.

the Democracy of the .>4th Senatorial Dis
trict in the selection of a Democratic candi
date for Senator of said District.

The meeting adjourned.
D. A. Baker, Chairman
A. C. McCalla, Secretary.
Senator Stockton, of New Jersey, wa»
delegate to the Baltimore Convention. "He
voted against the platform, and against
Greeley. He has come out in a letter urging
that the support of Greeley since his nomi
nation by the Democracy, is a “sacred
duty.” He adds another instance^ to
the list of the staunch Demo
cratic spirits who opposed Mr. Greeley
while the conference was open, who, &
matter of duty, rally to the party and wprk
for its programme since the conference is
over. He puts the point well, He says t^tty
to his country, to the Constitution, to indi
vidual liberty, to local self-government, to
civil authority, to reform, oil endangered by
Gnat’s re-election, binds him to supgurt
Greeley’s election as the m ans to secure
these things.
If we could be sbo* n any good to be ac
complished by a different courte we might
heed. But as the party has determined to
take Greeley, a dissent by a small
minority can only thwart the will
of the majority without giving success to
the views of the minority. The minority will
not only defeat the majority but defeat them
selves, and by their disaffection put the ene
my in power. The simple result of Demo
cratic disaflection is not the success of
the straight Democracy, but the defeat of all
Democracy aud the triumph of Radicalism.
It shall never be said of us that we even
indirectly contributed to the success of Grant
and his despotic myrmidons as the leaders of
centralized tyranny. We will not be an ob
stacle to the success of our great party cf
constitutionalism.
Therefore, we heartily approve of the fal
lowing words of the able and patriotic Demo
cratic New Jerscyman, Senator Stockton:
Now, sir, since the high court of the party
has spoken, there can be no ditfcrence of
opinion among Democrats. Party usage, as
well as the higher considerations of patriot
ism, wiil unite the Democrats of New Jersey
as one man on their nominee; and 1 doubt
not that New Jersey will cast her vote in the
electoral college for Horace Greeley.
Until his nomination by the convention it
wjis my plain duty to oppose him and vote
fora Democrat—new it is my duty tqthe
imperilled liberty of my couatry; to the
constitution which I am bound to protect
against Us violators; to individual liberty,
which has been destroyed by forced con
structions of the amendments to the consti
tution ; to the great fun iamentol doctrine of
local self-government, violated in all the
States; to the freedom of elections; to the
supumacy of the civil over the militsiy
power; to tho cause of reform against the
universal corruption surrounding the present
administration—to use all honorable means
in my power to defeat the re-elec
tion of Grant by securing the election
of Horace Greeley. I trust aud believe that
those Democrats like myself, who have ab
stained from auy movement outside of the
party organization, will now unite as one
man in this sacred duty, and show that the
old Democratic party can still, as heretofore,
make a sacrifice of all prejudice ami passion,
ami can join with all patriotic citizens ip a
determined effort to preserve at least speh
liberty as has been left to us by the usurpa
tions of the Republican Congressional emeus
and the militaiy power.
I am, very truly, yours,
John P. Stockton.
ouciliatory Views and sentiments
of Hon. A. 11. Stephens, Addressed
to the Georgia l egislature* lsGG«.
Editor» Constitution : Mr. Stephens’ speech
on the .occasion referred to above, contains
the following:
Tho first step towauls local or general
harmony is the banishment from our b; easts
of every feeling and sentiment calculated to
stir the discords of tho past Nothing could
be more injurious or mischievous to tlic
*uture of this country than tho agitation, at
the present, of questions that divided the
people anterior to or during the existence of
the laie war.
With us (in the experiment of secession) it
was simply a question as to where our alle
giance was due in the maintenance of these
irinciples—which authority was paramount
n the last resort. State or Federal. It was
With this view and this purpose secession
was tried. That b:is failed.
Another one of our duties is this: We
should accept the issues of the war, and
abide by them in good faith.
The Constitution of the United Statcs-and
the treaties and laws made in pursuance
thereof are acknowledged to be the para
mount law in this whole country.
Let old issues, old qu jstious, old differences
and old feuds, be fossils of another epoch.
Great, new, living questions are before us.
Let it not be said of us, this day of our coun
try’s greatest trial and agony that there was
a party for Ciesar, a party for Pompey, and a
party for Brutus, but no party for Rome,
But let all patriots, by whatever distinctive
name heretofore styled, rally in all suctions
everywhere to the support of him, be he who
he may, who bears the standard with “Con
stitutional Union” emblazoned on its folds.
Now, after quoting the above remarks
from Mr. Stephens* speech of 186G, and after
taking in view the almost unanimous vote of
the Baltimore Convention in hoisting the old
constitutional union flag with Horace Greeley
as standard bearer, I can see no reason why
we should not rally to his support in all sec
tions every where. Horace Greeley has
planted himself on the principles of the
Union under the Constitution—the right of
local self-government to be maintained, sub
ject only to the limitations of the Constitu
tion and the laws made in pursuance thereof.
His election will secure us a long lease of
good government and peace in the Union,
which is certainly preferable to sectional
hatreds and bloody wars.

Holmesville on the 15lh instant, for the
purpose of sending delegates to the Guber
natorial convention to be held in Atlanta on
the 24th instant, and also to nominate dele

to act as S.cretary.
The object of the meeting was briefly
stated by Colonel D. M. Roberts in a few
pertinent and appropriate remarks, after
which Colonel G. J. Holton moved that a
committee of five be appointed by the Chair
to select delegates to represent said county in
said convention, which motion being unani

Eason Leggett, Chairman.
E. A. Montgcakry, Secretary.
The report of State Commissioner, Gusta
vos J. Orr, is able. The teachers of last year
have not been paid. Bullock gobbled the
school money out of the Treasury under the
act of July 20,1870, as fast as it came in, de
positing his rag bonds in their place to the
amount of $268,000. At this point he be
came inspired with the worthlessnc3s of his
bonds and the farcicality of the arrangement,
and he grabbed and scattered the money
without any little unnecessary comedy of put
ting his paper stuff in its place.
The teachers worked faithfully, and Mr.
Orr urges their payment, and we back him
in it. He proposes good bonds to be substi
tuted for Bullock’s tainted rags.
The full debt he has not ascertained, but
is after it
He urges changes in the present law. He
needs a clerk for himself. County Boards
should settle disputes with right of appeal to
the State Commissioner and State Board.
Half the rental of the State Itoad should go
to education, or half the net receipts if it
changes management. The County Boards
should have the power of local taxation,
levied by the voluntary action of the people.
We .shall notice this report hereafter.
We Like a deep interest in this matter of
free schools. Mr. Orr is the right man in the
right place. With the law properly amended
and his hands unfettered, we shall look for
substantial results of the broadest good.

Our cuiemporary, the Augusta Chronicle

editorial declining to indorse a part of tbe

An editorial article which appeared in our
issue of ye-terday, under tbe captoin, “Net

ceptible of a construction which dues not

School festival* at Seuola.
Senoia, Ga., July 13,1872.
Editors Coietitubon: Seeing .bat your pa
per is largely patronized, and that you evince
an interest in every section, I venture a few
liues from Senoia. Tbe school festivals have
just closed. They have been well attended
and have been in many respects unusually
interesting. Scaoiamay justly boast of her
educational facilities. But the great feature
of tbe week’s exercises was the address of
P. F. Smith, Esq., of Newnan, the orator for
the Senoia Digit SchooL
The invitation did not reach Mr. Smith bnt
few days before; yet he brought forth from
the rich garners of his mental store house such
supplies of classic, scientiflc and historical
treasures, and wove them in a weft of such
philosophical grandeur aud oratorical beauty
as struck bis bearers with delighted astonish
ment.
Mr. Smith selected for his theme
great truth, “ Science and Religion are
tbe Safeguards of Liberty.” After a
brief, lucid and forcible exposition of
the origin, nature and design of
all government, fie proceeded to argue with
great power aud clearness tbe necessity of
knowledge and religious principle to fit any
nation for the enjoyment of liberty. Ancient
and modern history wete called n.ton at every
step to furnish examples confirming the point
of tlic argument. Feelingly yet truthfully
be referred to our own past and present con
dition, mad when he reached the point where
he thought be discerned a ray of morning
light approaching, he was peculiarly eloquent
and ovcrpowermg’y grand. His appeal to
the young mea as those upon whom devolve
the responsibility of broadening this ray into
effulgent day, was timely, touching and tell-
“ K fo say that this speech was eloquent, is to
tell the truth, but not all the trutb. To
characterize it aa a great speech ia not suf
ficient It was in every sense of the word
extraordinary. It places Sir. Smith in the
front rank as a scholar and asan orator. For
one hour the dense audience were held in al
most breathless silence. Slany wept for joy
as he demonstrated the capacity of the
Christian religion to become the conservator
of liberty.
The unanimous sentiment, of all I have
heard express themselves, is that they count
it one of tbe precious privileges of life '
bave beard Sir. Smith on this occasion.
I feel it is due to a young and rising man,
capable of such a performance, to give him
this brief notiee. Mr. Smith iB bound
make his mark as an advocate.
I learn the address is to be published.

Washington, D. C., July 19.—The follow
ing is a summary of the July cotton crop re
port of the statistician of the Department of
Apiculture:
The past month has been gtneraily favor
able to cotton. Limited areas have been af
fected by drought, but rains were quite gen
eral during the latter part of June. On the
Atlantic coasts showers have been so fre
quent and heavy since June 20th, aa to delay
cultivation and promote tbc growth of weeds
and grass. Before that date * season of com-
itarativc drought of seven or eight weeks had
1 teen suffered in a portion of this district, while
other counties represent the weather t n forrn-
ly favorable. The variations in rain fall
daring tbe past month has been considerable
in the Atlantic States, ranging as follows at
the stations reported: Froml 2-10 inches to
4 95-100 in Virginia; from 1 75-100 to 5
49-100in North Carolina; from 1 410 to 3
95-100 in South Carolina; from 1 25-100 to
4 96-100 in Georgia; from 410 to 6 units in
Florida; from 155-100 to 489-100 in Ala
bama. In the States of the Mississippi val
ley the rain fall has been abundant,
the lowest records in the several States be big
from 2 to 4 inches, and the highest from
4 5-10 to 11; in Tennessee the range is from
2 64100 inches to 10 G3-100; in Louisiana
from 4 units 35-100 to 11 units; in Texas
from 2 units 210 to 6 units 910; in Arkansas
from 4 units 3-10 to 8 units 2-10. The States
making averages lower than 100, tbe standard
of good condition, are Virginia, North Caro
lina and South Carolina, in which the
average rain fall in May and June was
light, and Arkansas, where injury has
resulted from the heavy and unseasonable
rains. In all the other States the
averages are above one hundred. The fig
ores representing the condition are as fol
lows:
Virginia 96, North Carolina 94, South
Carolina 97, Georgia 101, Florida, 102, Ala
bama 100, Mississippi 109, Louisiana 103,
Texas 106, Arkansas 95, Tennessee, 104
Taking into consideration tbe relative im
portance of the States in producing, the gen
eral average of condition would be about 103.
As a whole the July returns of the present
year show a higher average of condition
than those of any previous reports except
in 1868.

aaid that your past convictions
principle have only been regenerated to
it thu oppressions that weigh upon us like
otmlain for timo to come. Even the New
rk World admits that “on one point—the
great point of all—the record of Mr. Glccii v
is clear and consistent—namely, the duty of
treating the Southern people with gcncroos
magnanimity;” and affirms that “on this
cardinal point, the candidate himself is a
platform.” What more could you expect •
Tho above good-tempered and well-timed
words we heartily endorse and commend to
our city contcmpory in tho same kindly spir
it in which they were evidently written.
How opposition to tho candidate of tho
Democracy is to do tho Democracy good or
advance Democratic principles, wc are una
ble to see. What possible benefit Is to be
gained by a Democrat proving Greeley’s past
antagonism to his present status, and by seek
ing to mfiucnce Democratic hostility to
Greeley, when he is the Democratic nominee,
and the selected leader of tbc constitoliou.d
aud reform army, we confess our inability to
discern. While the harm of such a course
is great
Men should work for practical results of
good. Whither docs tho course above re
ferred to lead* To Grant's election! To the
indorsement of his tyrannous raid To tbc
continuance of his oppression of the South!
To the defeat of the only organized effort to
d induce him from power that can succed!
TO the defeat of tho only body that will and
can enforce Democratic principles 1
Yet our contemporary not only takes no
part to defeat Grant and give success to tbc
constitutionsl army, but follows a line that
if it can bo successful elects Grant and defeats
t own party and principles.
The few who would do as it does are pow
ericas to carry out their own programme.
They can only defeat thdr friends and secure
the election of their enemies. Under inch
c rcumstanccs there is, it seems to us, an im
perative duty to lay aside personal considera
tions and join the movement, that it is too
late to change, which while it may not gain
all we wish, yet if successful will work such
alteration for the better, that the 'Country
will be largely benefittod.
