Snmncr on Grant as a Presifleu-

Wo have immensely enjoyed the
Sate speech of Sumner jn the^Senate,
•whereof Grant was the subject. It
is n schorcliing document, indeed,
and the gift taker, if he has any sen
sibility at all—which we very much

down-pour of vitriolic rhetoric. As
a specimen of the flood, which tor

tier's summing .op of Grant’s qualifi
cations as a Presidential candidate.
Me said:
THE -PRES1DEXT AS CANDIDATE.
Looking at his daily life as it be
comes known through the press or
conversation, his chief employment
seems the d/speasation of patronage,
-iiuless society is an empksj twcnt.
For Gits he is visited by Senators
,md Representatives bringing dis
ant constituents. The Executive
Mansion has become that famous
treasury trough, described so well
by an early Congressional orator:
“Such running, such jostling,
such wrigling, such clambering over
one another's backs, such squealing
because the tub is so narrow and the
company is so crowded. "-^Speech of
Josiah Quincy, January 20, 1811,
Annals of Congress, page 851.
To sit behind is the Presidential
rupation, watching and feeding

let it be added that unconscious of

will not be enough to say that he

No, Never!
Editor filter County Star :
We hear almost every day our
citizens discussing the "merits of
Horace Greeley, who may at no
great distant day be vested with the
Chief Executive Authority of this*
Government. And however so in
consistent it may appear, yet it is
true that some of our most influential
men—those who have always sub
scribed strictly to the Democratic
principles, and who have always ad
hered with unshaken confidence and
with the most unsullied integrity to
those principles—are ready to des
pond. And now, at the dawn of
day, when a great political victory
is Within their grasp; when there is
nothing remaining for them to do to
crown their past eflbrts With succes;
but to yield to the dictates of their
conscience undisguised, and throwing
all motives of policy aside, press
forward with find and Unfaltering
determination in the discharge of
their duty as Democrats—ai'e ready
to cry out-, “we ‘are too weak; we
are unable to cope with our adver
saries;” and consequently they will
assist them in completely overthrow
ing and breaking down all those »
principles and institutions for which
we have so long been laboring to
establish.
They seem to be drilling not. only
to sacrifice every principle of right;
justice and honor, but to surrender
their ‘very existence, -socially and
politically. And to whom ? To their
enemies! To a horde, of the most
ravaging thieves, robbefs And vil-
lidns that were evet let loose upon a
defenceless people; and to the most
oppressive and unrelenting tyrants
that ever swayed the sceptre over a
civilized nation. These are the men
who iiave woven a snare at the Cin
cinnati Convention by which they
expect to entrap the Democratic
party. . .
Such" men as Gre^r cT3%ot St
all concern us. They do not deserve
the respect of any man who is at
heart a friend to the elements of
Democracy;, nor iiis" support under
any promise or consideration What
ever. We should take no Interest in
them, nor their deeds: except in de
tecting their deep-rooted schemes,
laid for our destruction.
They are the avowed encmips of
all our social and political interests.
They deny to us’ the rights and
privileges of citizens of the govern
ment. They spurned the Democracy
from the Cihciimati Convention, as
unwbrthy Dl their association. And
noW UrC we so lost to every s'ehse of
honor and dignity as to accept their
nominee as the man bf our choice ?
Are ivb so degraded Jiiat, after hav
ing been kicked oht bf the hohse as
filthy .wretches, We*will crawl back
upon our knees and ask them to for
give us for polluting their company
with onr presence? Is this, the spirit
that pervades the Democratic f ahks ?
Heaven forbid it! Horace Gr.eeley
threatens to fall back to the support
of General Grant'if the Democrats
make a stand in the present, political
campaign, thinking thereby to drive
us to his support—to force us into
measures at the thought of which
our hearts sicken.
Then, where is the line of distinc
tion 'between the two parties, and
where is ’the evidence of his actual.
, iiifiucii, illeiu is none, fib
only seeks i^Sce,. and if he cannoi
obtain the presidential chair, he in
tends riiat ft shallTomato, just where
it is. So it we cajinot Change- it to
our satisfaction, for 'heaven's Sake-
let as assist no one else, Who Lehrs
for us such «nLownded hatred as
does Horace Greeley. He bUsalWays
been an uncompromising enemy to
the .principles o? Democracy; and
the so-called “reform” fe Indeed a
cunningly devised 'Scheme of Which
he is tire founder-. Not being Content;
with crushing ns; grinding Us into
the very dust of humiliation; hfe seeks
through this means to force Us With
our own hands to extinguish Die last
ray of hope that is left us; to oblite
rate the last trace of honor in out
national Character, Und seal forever
our destruction and degradation.
It is said that wa cannot elect a
Democratic nominee^" hnd. although
this is a groundless presumption,
admit it to be true, and is there any
reason Why we should yield without
a struggle ? Does it bespeak a spirit
cf-honor in Us, when we see a proba
bility ofoUr defeat to join our ene
mies and assist them in dragging
into disgrace our neighbors, 'our
friends,- our families and ourselves;
and tearing forever from us all the
honor we cherish; aud sacred ties
that bind us to o'Ur native land ?-*-
Shall/we yield implicit and unquali
fled obedience to a- people whose
every principle and desire is antag
onistic to oUr interest, and W’fro are
striving through every conceivable
means to sink and crtish us into ob
livion ? Will we stand in quiet sub
mission and Suffer ourselves bound
in fetters, when it is within our
power to resist successfully eVery
6uch attempt? And when we aie
bound hand and foot, oppose those
who would attempt our liberation;
tell them we are content with our
situation, and applaud the . acts of
those who placed us in onr condi-
tioti ?
But why can we not elect a Dem
ocratic President ? Although Gree
ley threatens to support Gen. GraHl
under certain conditions, he will
never "do it. He deserted Grant’s
party and established another, for
tbe purpose of getting office; and
since he has been nominated at Cin
cinnati, he will never yield to any
other. Neither will Gen. Grant;
por his present party follow him. So
they are divided, and forever will
remain so. And wha£ is surer.than
a Democratic success,, if they will
only devote themselves earnestly to
the support of their ]$rftieiples-, and
not suffer themselves to be decoyed
.eff by-Grefeley’s policy schemes.

A Sail Story.
Tue Slander ox Ex-President Jotik 1
son and Mrs. Harouj—How it
Started and its Terrible Results
—A Shocking Tbaukdy.
From the Kuoxvilla Chronicle (Radical,25th
...About tbe last of April tlib detailed
circumstances of a j>aSe Slander, based
on occurrences sfii<rT5Ti'5vc laaLu pin....
in Greenville, reached the Chronici
repoter, ail-1 und-r cireamsianc'es that
indicated that they at le»9t had feoiiie
foundation. Desiring to act with proper
care and judgment before giving tbe
rumors publicity, we telegraphed to
Thsponsible citizens of Greeovilfo as
td the tfbth of tbe stories. They prompt
ly answered by telegraph that the
c’nyges wore false. Subsequently 'the
storY Teachefl US again with full circhfu-
siaiiceR, and in order to ascertain the
real trntb, ofie ot the editors of the
Chronicle went to Greenville to make
an I'ovestigaiion -of the case.
The'false rumors .
As the na'fnes Of the parties and the
charges in an exaggerated form havd
been made public, we propose noW to
give tire result, of ohr investigation.
The card p-ubltshe'd iu Vesterday’s
Chronicle elfme to Os ioO lkte on Tburs-
dav night to enable Us to feend this
giiiteraent forth with it, as w6 tehould
have done had the ^Arties interested
in Greenville sent us a copy of the caid
referred to-, in proper time.
The story originally started was
.that Mrs. Harold and ex-President
Johnson had ha'd improper intercourse
witb each other for some time. The
story ran that these meetings took
place in Mr. Johnson's library, which
is next door to Mr. Harold’s h'oawe,ind
that tbn liasoh Was discovered by Mr.
H. meeiihjfhis Wife late At night feoiti-
ing froto the Iibt-aty. With a blanket
sliawl thrown'over her head; The sto
ry ran that Mr. Harold had shsptected
tiie intimacy, and on the night refer
red to bad watched' his wife nb'd
caught her on the street disguised as
lefcrred to. lie waB said to have bai
ted her; asked her who she was, pul
led thO sbaWl from her face, but that
she had avoided him and gone irouDd
behind the house, hoping to enter by
the back door unobseiVed; Her hus
band, Lowever, anticipated her, went
to the backdoor, and there foupd biB
suspicions eonfirnied. The report was
lhat they had high words, -and that
their quarrel had been qVerheard.
This waB substantially tbe slory as it
riginally came out in Gree-'Vilie. "We
in ay be mistaken as to sotoe of the de-
tailsi bttt we have given the knain
facts as we heard them. Tbe state
ments were talse in every respect.
HOW THE BEAL TROUBLE BEGAN.
But the facts that brought about
the suicide aie substantially •• follows:
dn ohe Of the last Snhdays in April,
some misebief-breeder dropped ah an-
oymou9 note to Mr. Harold, through
postoifice; int'toating to him that *h
improper intimacy exifted between
his wife and Mr; Johnson. Mr. Har
old atid Mr. Johnson had beeh person
al and-Wann'friends for thirty yews.
Their families had be**u intimate for
most of that period. Mr; Harold had
lived happily with his trife for hear
forty yean. She had bis entire coi>-
dence and deep love. For thirty years
she had been an active, exemplary and
most consistent member of tbe Presby
terian church. As soon as he read
the letter be went promptly to her,
showed it to her hud assured her Le
did not believe a wbid of it. Mrs.
Harold read.the letter; and was so in
dignant that she could hardly restrain
bereself. At Ohs time in the evening
she was found almost crazy witb ex'*
citement, with a giiu in her hand, and
declaring she intended to shoot her
traducers; So eitited did she become
that she altlloSt lost her reason. She
repeatedly assured her husband of her
innocence. Bat the idle gossips who
infest Greenville and other places took
up the scandal and talked about it
constantly. In a hundred different
ways was it presented. So positively
was it asserted, that some few, always
ready to believe ill of their belters;
believed it. Mrs. Harold seemed borne
down by tbeserrepetitions of theacan-
dal.- About ibis time her only son, a
lichtenant in the United States army,
a yodng man Of high character and
excellent traits; bathe home bn leave of
absence; It was thought best to keep
him ignorant of the slander; as it
would only make his visit unhappy.
A feW days ifter his return, word came,
to Mrs. Harold that her mother was
dangerously ill. It was determined
that Mrs. Harold should go to the.sick
bed in Rhea county, rather than visit
her sister living witb her, as the visit
would take her from the scandal aud
give her rest; .Her son accompanied
Jier.
the suicide. •
They reached' the mother’s house
after a short trip^during which Mrs.
Harold seemed very Respondent. Rut
her son; still ignorant of the slanders;
attributed this to her mother’s condi
tion; " ,
When tb^y reached tirs. -Reiskell’s
(her mother's name)she was found to
be some better. On the sebond morn 1
ing after reaching thele, MrS; Rarbld
arose earlier than usual, we«t to her'
mother's room to attend to b?r, a«R

out Some distance from the hohse into
a thibk5t,ftnd there shot herself through
ib’e ‘.left breast, Sbd through the heart.
Three shots were heard, the a'arm
was gi ven, and soon after 6he was
found in a dying condition-. It was
supposed the fiist shot wks fatal, as it

excitement, threvV.Mr. Rkfold, at in
valid, into a dangerous Slate, fronj
which be has hardly yet recovered-.
'what is thought of it.
Mr. Harold, who is a quiet man of
few words, fears n’dw that, though he
assured her roofe than Cnee of his con
fidence iia her, She bad some feats
that he and others did not entirely
believe her innocent, and that it Weigh

tbe idle 'slanderers who had brought
aboUt the trCvble; /
We foubd all of tbe gCod citifcetih of
Gr'eeneville, irrespective of religioh or
politics; denoucing the slahder as false.
Mr, JohnioC declared the lady never
had teen in his library. He said she
had been a friend of Mrs. Johnson for
half a life tinre, but lhat be bad not
spoken to her for a week before or at
tbe time of the alleged visit to his libra-
- ,
A citizen of Greenville, esteemed
for his veracity, showed ub a pair of
pants Mrs. Harold had made about
the time of the scandal. She had
made them for a tailor vfho occupies
Johnson’s old shop nett door to tbe
library, hnd second from Mrs Harold’s.
It bad beeii heefeess&ry while making
these for Mrs; Harold to go several
times tb the shop; ind thus passing
back afad forth by Johnson’s library,
is supposed to have been need as some
foundation for the story;
As said before, Mrs. Harrold waa
an exemplary Christian woman ot high
character, Universally esteelfied for
many noble qualities, ai-defatly attach
ed to her husband and children; and a
lady of great eilergy and noble heart.
She was literally broken down by these
false scandals, and in an hour of mefat-
=•1 derangement, with a burning fcon-
8cibu‘nes« of innocence, and without
power to reaist the temptation, sbe
took her own life. Tbe family hath

the fact8 to the end that tne Story
