7HAT LITTLE SEAL ESTATE TRAITS-
ACTION.
While Grant is laboring zealously
to secure his re-election, and his cor
rupt lackeys all over the country are
Founding his praises in the cars of the
people, and dwelling particularly upon
bis disinterested benevolence in con
tributing a whole thousand dollars for
the relief of the Chicago sufferers,
there are various little transactions,
in which he figured in past time, which
it is well enough lor the people to re
member. The New York Sun is do
ing its part toward refreshing the
public memory in , this respect. It
will bo remembered that the house at
AVashington now owned by General
Sherman formerly belonged to Grant,
to wnom n naa peen presented, oi
. 1
course. .The Suti repeats the history
of the transaction by which it passed
from the possession of Grant to that
of Sherman, as follows :
" When he was elected to the Pres
idency, that house belonged to Gen.
Grant. lie offered it for sale, and
sold it for $40,000 to Mayor Bo wen
of Washington, who paid him $1,000
down and took his contract to convey
the property by deed. After this was
done, Gen. Grant wrote a letter to a
rich citizen of New York, saying that
Gen. Sherman was too poor to keep
such an establishment in Washington
as the General of the army ought to
have, and that it would be a very good
thins; if the wealthy men of the
country would give him (Sherman)
such a donation aa would enable him !
to live in handsome style. Un the j
receipt of this letter a meeting of rich
men was held there, the President's
letter read, a subscription started, and
money raised. 1 his fund, finally
amounting to about $100,100, was
taken to Washinston by Mr. T. A
fcJifdvoiL. udcids milium omiuv. v
.... . - . ..... .
ed at his own solicitation, $(SoflOO
weU into his oven pocket to pay for the j
house he had jut before sold to Mr. j
Hoxcrn. for lfif)0O and thereupon
Mr. l. A. Me wart, wno naa Drought
on the money and paid over to Grant
the part of it which he had chose to
take for himself, was appointed by
Grant to the office of Secretary of the
Treasury. . Poor Bowea, thus de
prived of the property he had bought
at first threatened to sue for it ; but
he was persuaded to give up his con
. tract on the repayment of his money,
with the promise that the President
would make it all right with him in
distributing the patronage of the Dis
trict of Columbia: and this promise
has not been kept." .
SUPERLATIVE IMPUDENCE
Some of our Radical exchanges have
the impertinence to claim a Kadical
victory in New York. When we re
member that the honest men of all
parties made common cause against
the compt Trmmanyites, and that
Cbas. O'Conner, Horatio Seymour and
Samuel J. Tilden worked shoulder to
shoulder with Republicans in the con
test against Tammany, and that the
victory ' was gamed by Democratic
votes in New York City, we can
scarcely conceive of anything more con
temptibly mean, and inefiably cheeky
than this Radical howl of victory.
They ought to have sense enough to
know, and honesty enough to acknowl
edge that their party wonld'nt really
be "a huckleberry in a bear's ear" in
2ew York when the Democracy were
united and harmonious, and when a
square-toed fight were made between
the two parties. -
Isr A. QuAN-DAaY. -Great trouble
was last week experienced in the Wo
" man's Suffrage Convention at Olym
pian about the proper address of the
presiding officer. Some person in
sisted upon' addressing her aa ? Mrs.
Chairmany1 others suggested ." Mrs,
ChairmanesS ;", others finally urged
jlain " Mr. Chairman two or three
vociferated "Jlrs.; Presidentessess ;"
but the thing. was at'last brought to a
head by some antiquated and verdant
specimen of the genus homo arising
majestically in his seat and addressing
her as ,401d Woma."
The Cleveland (Ohio) Plaindealer
calls attention to the fact that "the ten
Western Reserve counties gave about
32,000 majority For General Noyes,
about 2,000 more than his majority in
the State." Upon which the Cincin
nati Enquirer says : "Ohio proper
has long "been Democratic. It is only
the New England colony planted upon
the Reserve, where the people nearly
all vote one way in accordance with
the wishes of their ministers, that has
put it upon the opposite track." m
The Democrats have two majority
u the Senate of the Ohio Legislature.
AN0TEE3 "NEW DEPAETTJBE" PRO
POSED. . .
It seems that a number of those
Democratic journals who assisted in
thrusting the "new departure" upon
the party to its great injury, have hot
learned a lesson from that disastrous
movement, but would seek the fur
ther demoralisation, and, as we be
lieve, total dismemberment of Its or
ganization by having it adopt a " pas
sive policy" in the next Presidential
contest. They insist that the Democ
racy Bhall not nominato a Presiden
tial 'ticket in 1872, but remain entirely
passive and permit the Republicans to
fight the the battle among themselves.
The Missouri Jiepublican was the
first paper to suggest this policy, and
several other less prominent Eastern
Democratic journals have endorsed
the proposition. We are pleased to
observe, however, that most of the
Democratic papers oppose this passive
policy and advocate a square-toed,
open-handed fight between the Old
Constitutional Democratic party and
its Radical enemy.
We have observed no comment on
this question, as yet, by our brethem
of the Democratic press of Oregon,
(except by the Ilerakl ot last Tues
day) but are gratified to observe that
our California cotemporaries aro de
nouncing the policy in the most un
mistakable language.
We-earnestly hope no such proposi
tion will be entertained by the De
mocracy of the country. We are in
favor of the maintainance of our party
organization and the nomination of a
Democratic National Ticket next
year, on an honest, straight -forward,
consistent platform a platform
which will command the respect of
our foes and the support of our
friends. We are opposed to a cow
ardly guerrilla warfare wherein the ;
t,;., nomnii .riv I
VIIVU IVI I V V J V - .4V J'e
would play the part of bushwhacker
and skirmisher on the battle-field,
without a leader and without organi
zation. Let us mass our forces around the
standard of Democracy, and with
Thos. H. Hendricks, or some other
unflinching Democratic leader, press
on to a glorious victory or an honor
able defeat.
If Horace Greeley, Gratz Brown
and other sore-headed Radicals arc
honest in their opposition to Grant,
they will oppose his election as well
if there is a Democratic ticket as if
there were none; and if thej won't;
do that they are simply aspiring dem-
. ... t ,t:t. ... .i i
reliable as Ulysses Grant or Beast
Butler, and are unworthy of the sup
port of the honest men of any psrty.
The Democratic party in the recent
. . T. ,
elections tailed on to the KautcaU
in
their platform aud were deservedly
beaten ; now let them be found voting
for a Kadical President next year and
their party identity will be as com
pletely swallowed up in Radicalism
as is Sodom in tbe Dead Sea. The
scattered hosts of Democracy would
never again be able to rally nnder the
old battle-stained banner which has
been their pride and boast for three-
quarters of a century, and their name j
would be only as a legend to remind S
them of the better aud purer days of
our lost Republic
We trust that Democrats will no t
for a moment tolerate this passive
policy. We cannot afford to give up
our organization and surrender our
party affiliations. There is in liict no
hope for the overthrow of tyranny
and the restoration of constitutional
government in this country save j
throucrh the united efforts of the Dem- i
Tlien. to use a homely but sugges
tive phrase, let us keep " pegging
a a-ay, p and our success will be only a i
matter, of time. We may ftil next
year, but the battle remains yet to be
fought and the vantage ground may
yet b ours. We are nearer to su-
sess than we were nve years aco.
when the Democracy could not claim a
single Northern State. Now. even
with tbe recent disasters against ns,
we have a majority in at least ten
Northern States, and can confidently
count upon as many Southern States
by next year, unless their white in
habitants are all imprisoned or driven
out of the country by Grant's vandal
soldiery. Thus, with half of the
States in the Union already Demo
cratic, and with - daily dissensions
arising in the ranks of the enemy, can
we afford to quietly and hopelessly
sit down and fold our hands and let
our party organization go to destruc
tion arid our country go to tbe
other place ?
We are in favor of fighting it out
on the old Democratic line, if it takes
till the last day in the morning.
Ixfeeextial. Ex-Governor Ham
ilton, of Texas, says he never saw any
of the members of the present State
Government steal 'anything; but
"when- we see a poor, miserable cuss,
who never had $150 iu his life, come
to Austin, borrow money to pay his
expenses, and presently find him los
ing a thousand dollars1 in a night at
faro driving around in a fancy team,
making liquor bills, wine bills and all
sort's of bills, and buying a buggy and
fine horses to go home in, we know
he is a thief as well as if we had seen
him, steal."
The Democrats have redeemed
New Jersey from her brief Radical
allegiance and she may be safely
counted in the Presidential column
Wxf year. . .,.
A NEW l'ARTY SIOVEMEXT.
An important political movement
was last month inaugurated at Nash
ville, Tcunessee, in which Democrats,
Republicans and Conservatives unite.
While "differing in opinion as to
which of the two great parties f the
country is best fitted to onrry out and
fulfill the ends for which the govern
ment was instituted, they unite in an
earnest appeal to all intelligent and
progressive men of the country to di
vest themselves of 'sectional and
party nniuvnities, and to associate
themselves together for the purpose
of inculcating an intensur and loftier
purpose.
Tho address which they have pro'
pared for tho public embraces the
following proposition :
"1. Tho protection of the rights of
every citizen, in accordance witu the
the constitution as it is.
2. Tho discontinuance of useless
agitation of past issues.
Jl. Restoration of fraternal feelings
and relations witu tue people ot the
north.
4. Dissemination of tho constitu
tional principles, and the inculcation
of earnest, abiding faith in the genius
otiixu institutions and their eventual
success in all quarters of the blobu.
a. Maintenance of law and order.
0. Promotion and encouragement
of immigration.
7. Establishment of an cfllcicnt sys
tem ot general education.
8. Exposition of and strict adhe
rence to the principles ot local sell
government, and the promotion
among tho people of thosa feelings
and convictions, which will caiif-e
them, through the operation of self-
irovermnent, to establish a state of
things which will no longer furnish
reason or pretext for the intcrtereiico
of the central eovcnimeut in local
affairs.
9. General amnesty.
III. opposition to repudiation in
every form.
11. .Modification of the present
tariff svst em to a revenue basis.
12. Reduction of taxation.
V. Civil service reform.
Finally, we pledge ourselves, from
this time, to give our sup ort to mvn
of uprightness, merit, and liberty, re
gardless of political antecedents, be
lieving that the time has come for all
men of progress to turn their back
upon tho past and grasp manfully the
needs and possibilities of the future.'
Though the telegraphic dispatch
does not so state, it is deary evident
that the movement is one of tho re- j
suits of Senator Carl Schurz's recent
speech at Nashville.
The declarations of principles em
braced in the above synopsis in simply
a statement, in a condensed form, of
the mailt points of hi speech. A
movement based upon the doctrines
there enunciated can, of course, have
no other special object than the com
plete overthrow of the present radi
cal dynasty an object in which thou
sands of republicans, it is claimed,
are prepared to unite, if the way is
opened so that they can do so without
subjecting themselves to the charge
of having abandoned their own party
and gone over to the Democracy. It
is to make the transition comparative
ly easy and without too much appar
ant sacrifice of party pride and con
sistency, that this Xashville move
ment has been inaugurated. How
far it may extend, and what will
be its final results, are questions yet j
to determined. Xcbranka Constitu-!
tivn.
