Daniel E. Sickles, says the S. F. Examiner, is kept in the pay of the Gov ernment to make stump-speeches for Grant. While Minister to Spain, he was allowed to come home. Many wondered why it was so, but there is no longer any mystery about that extraordinary step; the waning cause of Grant was needing his eloquence. On April 17th he made one of his pe culiar speeches, a regular Know Nothing harangue, wherein he took occasion to say: “Now we oome to Gen. Schurz. He is a distinguished member of a class rath er numerous in this country—the Germans and Irish—who are foreigners by pro fession.” This taunt produced shouts of approbation and roars of laughter, which might be expected in a Radical meeting. Again he says: “If they are Irish, they are more Irish than O’Donoghue; it they arc Germans, they are more German than Bismarck himself; and they seek by one method or another to create the impres sion abroad that one of them holds an Irish, and the other a German vote in his pocket.” And this is the treatment vo ters of foreign birth are to expect at the hands of Grant’s sycophants. They use the Germans at elections and despise them afterwards. They seek to pit the Irish and Germans against each other, and then condemn both. We are not surprised at this. It has been the policy of the Administration, as it was Grant’s during the war, not to treat the voter of foreign birth with any degree of equality as an American. He thought it was wise to issue an order that all Jews should leave his camps in the army. They were treated as serfs at that time, and will con tinue to be so treated when the Radicals have no longer use for their power in elections. There is something so repul sive in their conduct towards the men we have invited to our shores, that we are amazed that Germans can be Radi cals with such facts before them. S heep as W eed E xterminators .— It may not be known to farmers in gen eral that it is a common practice in some parts of the country to turn sheep into the potato field, for the purpose of eating down the weeds. The sheep will not toueh the potato vine. This pasturing with sheep is advantageous, when the crop is a late planted one, so that the hoeing cannot be- completed until after the haying dr harvest is finished. At the growing season it is the farmer’s aim to keep down the grass and w eeds, so that they may be covered by the cultivator and hoe, when these are used. Pasturing with sheep will attain this object. Ear ly planted crops, the cultivation of which is completed in the early part of the sum mer, frequently become grassy and weedy, before the time of digging, when the site of the tops precludes cultivation. In this stage the sheep are economical feeders. It is hardly neeessary to mention that the feed thus given to the sheep makos a double profit, inasmuch, as it costs abso lutely nothing, while labor is saved, and weeds prevented from seeding. Following we print a number of para graphs, showing how the press, in vari ous parts of the country, regard the nom ination of Greeley and Brown; The Chicago Tribune (Republican) ed itorially endorses the Cincinnati ticket and asserts that the nomination of Gree ley is the work of the people against pol iticians. It predicts that he will carry, with one or two exceptions, all the Southern and Southwestern States, and New York and Pennsylvania, and at least three of the New England States. The Chicago Times (Democratic) say« the nomination is surpriaiag and amus ing. It declares the Convention a fail ure in immediate results. Whether it is one that can be relied on is yet a ques tion which it intimates a belief that the Democratic National Convention only will decide. The Cincinnati Commercial (Republi can) endorses the nominations of Greeley and Brown, at the same time expressing the opinion that Adams or Trumbull would have been better, and reserving the right, in case there is a Democratic nomination, to support the strongest rep resentative candidate, whoever he may be. The Enquirer (Democratic) says that the platform is splendid and the ticket strong, and believes that Democrats will support both. The Gazette (Republican) ridicules the Convention and the results of its labors, and believes the Demócrata will have nothing to de with it. The Commercial reports that Pendle ton and Hendricks both announced their intention to support the ticket, and says that the latter will be a candidate on tho Liberal Republican ticket for Governor of Indiana. The Detroit Free Press (Democratic) says Greeley is a strong man with whom to demoralize the Republican party. It considers the chance for the Democracy assured if its Convention makes strong nominations and a sound platform. The Chicago Post (Republican) ridi cules the nomination of Greeley, and says it not only affects the Republican party but utterly ruins the prospecta of the Democracy. The Detroit Tribune and Republican (Republican) say that the most sanguine friends of the Liberal movement regret Greeley’s nomination, and regard his election as a public calamity. In Memphis, Tennessee, the nomina tions of the Cincinnati Convention aro almost universally regarded as the strongest possible. The Appeal and Av- alanche endorse and will support the ticket. The New York Journal of Commerce thinks the Democrats cannot support tho Cincinnati nominations, and intimates the belief that they were made for tho purpose of forcing the Philadelphia Con vention to endorse them or throw tho election into the hands of the Democrats. The Salt Lake Herald (Mormon) says Greeley and Brown is a strong ticket, and if the Democrats endorse it, Horace will be the next President. The Salt Lake Tribune (Liberal) says It will be a complete resuscitation of Democratic power in the event of tho success of Greeley; for fusion once made, thereafter tho two parties will be only Democratic. The Charleston (8. C.) News urges the Democratic National Convention to fa vor the nomination of Greeley and Brown, whom, it says, are not only tho unanimous choice of the people of the Southwest but of the whole South. N esmith ’ s L ast J oke .—A w-eek or two since, Mrs. Duniway, of the New Northwest, was lecturingat Dayton, Yam hill county, and had Gen. Nesmith among her auditors. The fair speaker was en deavoring to show that on the score of “woman’s rights” nothing was to be ex pected from either of parties as organiz ed in Oregon, and, in illustration of her argument, said “that the Republicans had .nominated Joe. Wilson for Congress, and the Democrats would put forward Jim Nesmith.
