Gen. 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. Between these two there
was no choice; when Nesmith took
snuff, Wilson sneezed.” Nasmith here
arose, and asked the lady if lie‘“eat beans,
