Our readers have already seen the
essay which our Lawson made upon
Mr. Engle, nd how bis soft-soap atirf
high-pressure professions ot non-cotfl-mittal
bonesty and double-geared pa
triotism, lidu"t take t fleet upon 3Ir.
F.ngle. Our Iawsoii evidently took
Mr. Eng'e tor quite stub a person
as Mr. Lawson knows himself to le
On tlie other baud Mr. Engle take
Mr. Lawson for just what he is and Is
known to be a man that it won't do
to tie to. Mr. Engle don't tie to the
Greeleyewts worth a cent; in the which
Mr. Lawson is undoubtedly much dis
appointed. Tlie noble company of
martyrs Lawson, Owens. Cooier and
Sullivan will fmve to walk through
the ''valley of the shadow," etc.,
alone, so far as Mr. Engle is con
cerned By the way we fear tliat our Law
on is much like the man wboe sec
ond wife made the astounding dis
covery one day that all the billet-doux
lie bad written to her were exaet cop
ies of those tlie wretch, had written to
bis first wife, during courtship. The
fetter to Mr. Engle is so rrry like the
letters from our Lawson, Secretary, to
divers and sundry other members ot
tlie Legislature ; especially the allu
sions to the Senatorial question, as to
lead to the su-picion that while Law
sou may have some slight objection to
a candidate suggested by some other
man, he would waive that objection
altogether in respect to a candidate
suggested by Mr. Lawson say,
CiKOkge Washington Law?ox, Ei.
We might have suspected Sullivan of
casting a squint at the senator-hip,
only we have his own solemn assurance
that the tiller of an otllce once put him
in a towering passion ; and we know
him to be too honest to go for anything
through intrigue. Jh wouldn't fix up
any combination to defeat Ihe election
of a Republican Senator. Oh, no!
It's Lawson that would do that.
Wherefore we are led to suspect that
our Lawson Is quietly and slyiy jhe is
'sly, devilish sly") trying to bag the
bird which Sullivan is confident be can
scare out of tlie bush. But Mr. Engle
seems to lie not that sort of a bird
which is canglit with chaff. Perhaps
Mr. I-awson might as well tie up his
bag and go home.

The Herald thinks the Republicans
have little to boast of in the result of
the North Carolina election, inasmuch
as the Ieinocrats elected live of flif
eight Congressmen, and a majority of
the Legislature thus injuring the elec
tion of a U. S. Senator.
The Republicans, however, have
this to boast of, that while the Demo
t'rsts have but held their own 011 Con
gressmen, the Republicans have gained
one the one added by the new ap
portionment; that their entite State
tviket wits elected by a handsome ma-jiM-itr
against a Democratic majoi ity
of nearly 5.1X10 at the last preceding
election ; ami that this result, secures
the State beyond a doubt to Grant and
Wilson, notwithstanding the Demo
crats had counted it. sure tor Greeley.
We should saj-, this is something to
boast of much to beast of. The State
officers elect are Tod R. Caldwell,

THE tiERXAS.H OF XEW YORK.
The New York Evening Post says
that the German press of that city Is
now unanimously against Greeleynd
Brown, with tho exception of the
New York Journal, which in 1S71 de
fended Tweed and the "ring'' to the
end, and which has not recovered the
circulation and the influence which it
lost at that time. The Staats-Zeitung,
the organ of the great mass of the
German population, Is as strenuous in
its denunciation of the Greeley ticket
as ever. The Dernokrat, tlie new Re
publican Westllehe Post, the widely
circulated Criminal Zeitung, and the
Abend Zeitung, are all earnestly ad
vocating the election of Grant and
Wilson. Tlie Post says : "Never be
fore in the political history ot the city
had a Democratic Presidential ticket
so many formidable adversaries in the
German press, of New York as Ihe one
nominated at Cincinnati and Balti
more. The consequences of this state
of affairs have already become quite
apparent. The German ward and
district clubs have never had a more
nourishing condition, never had more
accessions from the Democratic ranks,
and never held larger and more en
thusiastic meetings, than at the pres
ent time, while the German Liberal
Republican clubs show but little activ
ity and vitality."

A kTORY WS III AS AI'l'UCAlUI.X.
A rather simple 111.111 went t hear
3Ir. Whitfield preach, but arrived after
tltc sermon bad commenced. There
bad been much rain, aud the bad con
dition ot the road had prevented Mr.
Whitfield Irom meeting Ids appoint
ment. After a local preacher had
been substituted for him and got un
t'er way the subject of the story ar
rived. Having heard much of the
power of Whitfield's sermons, he de
termined to manifest his appreciation
of tlaj discourse to which he listened.
He was loud and fmjueflt in his aniens
a id liallelujahs, ami finally prostrated
himself and rolled in the mud, and by
his noise disturbed more really de
vout listeners, until one of them said
to him; "Why, what ails you, Joe?"
"Don't you know? why the spirit
that is pouring out of Brother Whit
Geld." "Why, bless your soul, Joe.
that is ' not Brother Whitfield.
U is Deacon Jone ." "Are you
sure of that?" "Yes." "Well,
then," exclaimed he, lapsing into a
profane liablt from which confiding
friends believed hurt to have been con
verted. Vj'll be d d if I haven't been
rolling myself in all this mud tor
noiliiug."'
Tlie application of this story Is ibis :
Tliere are Greeley and the Democrats
who have put their heads together, and
'who think by their united efforts thev
will be able to run tliis Government
for tlie next four years. Greeley i
wallowing in Rebel, Ku Klttx mud,
wliere "Slums" delight to roll, and is
putting in "Aniens" ami "Hallelu
jahs" at every pause iu the general
pow-wow. Tlie old chap expects to
be elected, we presume, and then to
take the reins ami drive Sliotild he,
be elected, lie will find, however, a
Republican Congress whu'h 1 could
no more manage than Andy Johnson ;
and then tin; old t'happnimack will
suddenly find out that he has been
rolling himself in all this slum mud
for nothing.
KEACTIO.
Tliere is everj- evidence of a reac
tion iu the Greeley movement. We
have frequent accounts ot Republicans
who went oil" on the Cincinnati tan
gent, that are returning to the old Be
publiean party siniv the. Baltimore
Convention gave it peculiar shape to
the campaign. Democrat Mill over tlie
country who had been counted upon
to support Greeley are liegiiining to
speak out tlielr loathing of the alliance
in plain terms. The Louisville Con
vention movement is taking such form,
that this class ot Democrats are quite
generally expressing their determina
tion to await tlie result of it. These
men will never vote for Greeley. Then
tlie business men of the country are
considering more carefully the. clmices
ot financial disaster iu the event of the
election of Greeley. One after another,
the men distinguished fur sucee in
business and clear intelligent views in
relation to finances, are declaring in
favor of Grant as tlie safer man. They
know that under his administration
the business affairs of the country
have been pro-perous and steady, far
lieyoud tlie most sanguine exjiecta
tions entertained when President
Grant Mas inaugurated. They doubt
and fear what might take place were
Greeley to become President. Ilenee
the drift of business men is mainly to
Grant. The Greeley movement was
stronger a month ago than it is to-day,
and it is stronger to-day than it will
Ixat any time in the future.
Xkw Tyit.. The STATESMAN aj
pears this morning, not exactly with a
new dres,. but with new minion type
throughout, from a font ju-t received
from the type foundry of Messrs.
Faulkner & Co. San Francisco. We
fancy that the improvement effected
t hereby iti the. genertil apiieanince of
tne iKtiier, will be marketl, and ap
proved by our patrons. We contem
plate some further improvements, not
only in the mechanical appearance,
but in the matter of the paper. The
Weekly Statesman, of the issue of
August 20tli, will have a new head
from the same founders a plain, but
neat and pretty head. These im
provements are expensive, but we put
our trust in au appreciative public for
corresponding returns in the way of
extended jmtronage. Whiie we labor
and spend our money to make a news
paper worthy of general patronage,
we trust our friend throughout the
State will interest themselves, to ex
tend it circulation in every r.cigh'.ior-
hood.
The Democracy i-s making a des
perate but fruitless attempt to man
ufacture a "revolution" in favor of
Greeley by the expedient of reporting
almost everv prominent public man
;i "out for Greeley." A dispatch of
the loth from San Franci-co says:
"Hon. W. D. Kelly, ot" Pennsylvania,
is quite surprised at the report which
has reached here from the East that lie
has come out for Greeley. He speaks
tor Grant at Piatt's Hall to-morrow
night." This is about an average
sample of the reports which are relied
upon to help "the anything to beat
'irant" movement.
The Louisville Democratic National
Convention gathers head. New York
is moving; Michigan has taken the
initiatory step, ami r.ow Indiana
comes, in aid of the movement. We
hear many Democrats in Oregon speak
ing of the convention, iu hopeful
terms. It is likely, after all, to be a
large assemblage, and to have dele
gates from all the States. Tens of
thousand who have heretofore intend
ed to support Greeley and Brown, will
yet vote for tlie T.ouisville nominee.
Gerritt Smith says: "Common
sense argues that his (Grant's) having
been a good President once is a strong
resison why he should be President
twice.'' Thus did common sense ar
gue when it re-elected Washington,
the first savior ol his country. Thus
did it argue when it re-elected Lincoln,
the second savior of his country ; and
thus does It now argue when it is
about to re-elect Grant, the third sa
vior of his country.
The Chairman of the Ohio Derao
dratic Central Committee is a Grant
man as against Greeley. Tlie chauces
for an enthutiastic Greeley campaign,
In Ohio, under the auspices of that
Chairman, are not brilliant.
A Grant and Wilson club was or
ganized at Eugene last Saturday. J.
D. Henderson was elected President.

NPEIXTH OT A DEMOCRAT OX URAXT
At tlie la.te ratification meeting iu
1 Xew Haven, Connoctk-utoii the nomi-
j .,tion of tirant and Wilson. Thomas
B. Bond, a listingnibed citizen ot
that Static spoke as follows :
What is the corner-stone of the
Greeley jmriy? Simply aiiti-Grint-ism.
This is the alpha and omega of
it, and what is the reason ? Why men
hungered from long exclusion from
power and wanted meat; they are dis
appointed, ambitious, and seek power
from voting for Greeley. They are
out of meat and are determined toget
it if they saeriliee party, country and
principle to get it. Ib re is the whole
storr of tlie leiiiocratic iart v in a nut
shell. Carl Sebum on Mking tlie chair nt
Cincinnati said we want a man not so
much for honesty nlone, hut of supe
rior wisdom. Let us select onr bet
man. General Grant was nominated
for his availability tor the servic? he
rendered hi country, and lie was
elected four yetirs asro, and will be
again in l!72. Is Horace Greeley a
statesman, a sate landmark, a sure
guide? Would lie make a safe and
sagacious President of this nation ?
Horace Greeley is a politician. Is he
competent to be a leader? Has he
sound judgment? Now. it I have got
to choose between Horace Greelev and
U. S. Grant, I choose U. S. Graiit. I
know him, all bis faults aud virtue,
when I vote for him I know what lam
doing, but wIhmi I vote for Greeley I
don't know anything abou htm. I am
going to vote for the genuine article,
U. S. Grant. I don't stand here as
his advocate or ajmlogist. But you
will permit me as a Democrat to say
one thing, tin; country was never more
prosperous than during his administra
tion. Trade, is prospcrousevery where.
Labor commands its price. Our
treasury is hill. Our credit excites
surprise. Wealth is pouring in upon
us from h11 lands. Destitution is un
heard of. We are diminishing our
debt at the rate of a hundred millions
a. year. This is the greatest and best
government in tlie world, not in the
army and navy, but under Republican
rule, its liberty, wealth and prosperity.
But somebody says look at our pros
trated commerce. Unt what caused
it. It Is tlie adoption of the principle
of free trade for commerce, and pro
tection for manufactured articles. This
ruins our commerce. You ask me If
I have changed my opinion. Well. I
answer, I have. I was brought up at
the feet of tltose Whigs, Henry Clay
and Daniel Webster, and I still be
lieve in their teachings, but in some
things I have. I say in the words of
Webster, a wise man sometimes
changes his opinions a fool never.
Tliat man lias made a deep impression
in the character of the nation. The
speaker closed with a touching allu
sion to tlie noble act of Grant in re
turning Iee's sword to him at the close
of tiie war.as a token that the war was at
an end and peace would evermore be
over tlie country, a scene which gives
to Grant's name an Un mortality, and
hy appealing to tlie ytung men who
fought tlie battles of the war to sup
port the present administration.
One of the downtrodden In Indiana
lately applied for a divorce, and tlie
Judge intimated his intention to decide
against her. The lady, alarmed, be
gan to shed tears, and her undignified
counsel, edgiug his chair close to hers,
whispered: "That's right, cry, cry

cree." In less than ten minutes ulie

tlutt the white people were determined

depretlatioii upon their prop:rty. it
would result in a quarrel that would

The late editor of the Kepublican
sends back a note to a friend, to the
effect that tiie story that he ran away
because lie could not pay his wash bill,
is a base lalschood. and one among the
sundry attempts, which have been
made to blackmail him. No doubt
he is correct, as I quote from tlie note ;
"How could I lie Iu debt for washing
when I only liad one shirt, and I wear
it all (he time ?" when he left he said
lie was going to Salem to have Sam

Nesinith, Bill Watklnds and farming.

When General Jncdson was Presi
dent, a heartk'.ss clerk in the Treasury
Department ran tin an Indebtedness
with a poor landlady to ftiO, and then
turned her off as lie did other credi
tors. She finally went to tlie Presi
dent with lier complaint, aud asked
him if lie could not compel the
clerk U pay the bill.
"He offers his note," slie said, "but
his note is goid for nothing."
Said tho President, "Get his note
and bring it to me."
Tlie clerk gave her tlie note, with
flio jeering request, "she would let
him know when she got tlie money on
it."
Taking It to the President he wrote
"Andrew Jackson" on tlie back of it.
aud told her slie would get the money
at the bank.
When it became, due tlie clerk re
lused to pay tlie uote, but when he
learned wlio was the endorser, lie
made haste to "raise the wind.". The
next morning he found a note on his
desk saying that his services were no
longer required bv tlie coverument
audit served him right.

The Brussels Edw du Parliament
tells a pleasant story of au Englishman
and wife, who not knowing a word ot
German, but being able to express
tliemselves well In French, resolved to
.visit Berliu aud Dresden. At Berlin
they had been recommended to a ho
tel, whither they were riding iu a hack,
when all at once the lady espied an
imposing edifice Uion which were In
scrilied fii large letters the words "Ho
tel Kadzlevill." She cried out, "There
is a beautiful hotel, and the situation
is splendid." "Suppose we go tliere?"
suggested the husband. "All right."
It was done as toon as said. The dri
ver was stopped. Tliere were several
ladies aliout the hotel, but none of
tbein spoke either English or French.
However, the servants were made
to understand by gestures tliat
they were to take in the lug
gage, and the travelers were ceremo
niously conducted into an apartment.
The lad- asked by signs for a sleeping
room, to which slie was led, aud on
her return said to her husband : "I
never saw iu all my life a hotel so ad
mirably furnished. Come and see
the chamber and sleeping room!" Hav
ing dressed, our English folks 1 unci ltd
aud announced to the servant tliat
they would dine at live. They went
to walk. On tlielr return A gentleman
ot distinguished appearance entered
tlieir room, saluted them aud said
something in German which they
could not understand. The English
man thinking him a little familiar, re
plied carelessly in English, "Good
morning. How do you do?" Aud
the stranger withdrew. A delicious
dinner was served. When the ser
vants had gone, "My dear," said the
gentleman to bis wife, ".ill this is ex
cellent. The hotel U evidently first
class, but it must lie very dear,
and as a matter of prudence it
will be well to ask for the bill
to-morrow morning." But he neg
lected to do o, aud two days more
pass-d like the first. At last "the bill
was nked for. but it was not brought.
"I am beginning to be a little uneasy,
my dear," said the husband. '"Surely,
no one could lie better cared for than
we are hen-, but I am persuaded the
charges will be 'frightful." At tliat
moment tlie gentleman of distinguished
apiiearauee entered and the following
dialogue took place :
The Stranger "I ain Prince Radzie
ville." The Englishman (risingand bringing
a chair) "To what may I attribute
the honor of this visit?"
The Prince "You have evidently
taken this house for a public hotel."
The Englishman "Certainly."
The Priuixi "Well, this is my pri
vate house, my hotel."
The Fmglishman was so astounded
that he could make 110 reply, and
could not explain the mistake' ot his
wife, wlio, in the greatest consterna
tion, began to tell tlie Prince iu Eng
lish that the word "hotel " over tlie
door had caused hererror. Tlie Prince
who saw their contusion, politely ex
pressed his satisfaction at having given
hospitality to English people, and beg
ged them to remain a few days longer
that he might enjoy their society. Of
course the invitation was jiolitely de
clined. The Englishman succeeded in
making the servants accept a few
presents, and the Prince insisted upon
accompanying them to a real "hotel"
in bis own carriage. Prince Radzie
vill is the Russian Embassador at Ber
lin. HORACE V.
Ex-Governcr Wise, of Virginia, thus
concludes his letter to Colonel Moseby;
It he (Greeley) lie elected every Con
fmlrinte who goes for him will, like
FaNtaff. know tlie Prince hy "instimt"
and wluita scene of humiliation will
weSiutlieni Confederates, who stand
"faithful amidst the faithless" have to
wit tiess ! Every " Lesser Evil" Rebel
will be iKildiug out a beggar's hand tor
a cravens crumb. They have been en
tirely and utterly subdued. They
have taken te-t oath's liave begged y
for pardons dubbing tliem traitors.
They will .say: "if he was good
enough for us to vote for. he is not too
liad for us to take office from." " Wo
choose the Lesser Evil." Is tho de
moralization of Grant's administration
worse than that would seem at least to
be?
Behold the spectacle ! Confederates
kneeling on the Cincinnati platform, or
prostrate ln-fore Horace Greeley, pray
ing tor office, as pay for taking the
" Lesser Evil !" Heaven defend my
aching vision from that harrowing
sight : Reign, Grunt, rampant, nnliou
ored, distrusted, tor ever, without mv
vote, rather than see such aceue with
it ! If we vote for neither, then neither
will tempt us to bow so low as to beg
tor office form t he invaders of the Con
stitution of our country.
There is anotlier iectacle I would
avoid. Aye, even the defeat of Gree
ley. What if he should, not be elect
ed ? Those Confederates who will
have committed tliemselves forever
against tliemselves and all tliat men
hold dear aud sacred will have done so
in vain, and gotten 110 pay! That
will lie their saddest, catastrophe.
What a bye-word.' and hissing, and
scorn they will have become on all
sides ! That will have driveu tlie last
nail into the Collins of the Confederate
dead who have coffins, and will pick
the bones of those who are buriea in
earth with nothing but their "martial
cloaks around them."
The " Lesser evils" had better, then
be cautious before they are commit
ted. Grant will be elected overwhelm
ingly. Where will Greeley's follow
ers tlien lie? The white hats will be
sent to tho dyer, and tliose who wore
them will swear it was but a Joke put
upon the " Vain Old Joker."
It is extremely sad for me to put
these things before you. But they are
inevitably upon in. and must be met.
I pray you, and Virginia, and Confed
erates especially, to stand proudly
aloof. Yours truly,
Hexrt A. Wise.

Charles Sumner says, "Grant cant
govern this country," and quotes Stan
ton to prove it. The circumstances of
the case remind us of the old story
about the man in jail. He entertained
a belief that he was illegally confined,"
and so sent for a lawyer to consult
about the matter. . After listening to
the prisoner's story, tlie lawyer said
with a confident smile; "Pshaw!
man ; they cant put you In jail for
that"
Can't they though "
rtainly not ; the thing's prepos
terous. They can't put a man in jail
for any such action."
"But that they liavc though," urged
the prisoner, who Inliv agreed with the
lawyer that they could irt do It ; but
was unable to get it out of hU head
that he was in jail nevertheless.
"I tell you my dear tellow. It is im
possible : they can't imprison vou on a
charge like that; It's ng-ilnst Uie
law." .
"But they have done It," cried the
prisoner, stubbornly, and with rising
anger, "and confound 'em, here I am.
I want to get out."
"But I say they can't do It. If you
undctvt.-uid ' the first thing about law,
yon would set; thev -couldn't yourself.
BSackstone nays ''
"Oh. Bliickstone ! ain't I here, and
haven't I been here for tlie last six
weeks?"
- "1 tell you they can't put you In jail
for this" shouted tlie lawyer, spring
ing out ot his chair, and crowing ex-
cited himself because his client stupid
ly refused to lwten to the points of law
iu tlie case.
"And I tell yon !" yelled the prison
er, jumping to his feet and dancing
around with excitement and exaspera
tion, "they have done it, and I am
here In jail, and likely to stay liens for
all of you!"

A Xew Yorker,-'now a well-known
resident nnd merchant of thU city, in
forms us that in 1S58 he w:ia iiiem-
Ikt of tlie first Know Nothing Coun
cil formed in tlie dty of New York ;
that the question of securing a news
paper organ eamo up ; that a commit
tee was appointed on this subject : and
that nt a meeting of that committee.
at 63 East Broadway, over ilniff
store, Horace Ureeley was persona uj
present and submitted a projiositioo to
make his Tribune the organ of tlie
Know Nothing party of New York If
tliey would pay him $38,000. Our in
formant, who is as reliable a man a5

ihood to question it.
HORACE UREELET OX tiRAXT.
Horace Greeley is tlie author of Omi
subjoined paragraph, which apeared
in tbe New York Tribune of Augut
7, 186S. Greeley was not then a can-
didate lor President. Did ho fell tlie
truth then, or does he speak with a
forked tongue now?
"Although General Grant has recom
mended to tbe President the remission
of the penalties and the release from
imprisonment of all prisoners now hi
confinement under sentence by mili
tary commissions organized under the
reconstruction Acts, we do not find a
single IiemocTntic paper applauding
his course. The professions made hy
the Copperhead journals of sympathy
with the Southern people are false and
merely Intended to gain votes. Gen
eral Grant has shown more practicable
sympathy and giveu more evidence of
kiiiluess toward rebels than all the
Copperhead writers and politicians
combined. His course has been singu
larly magnanimous, and yet he i- de
nounced as seeking their murder or
banishment, or the hanlshment, or tlie
confiscation of their property.

The late George Robins was famous
for his genius iu the direction of pufT

estate so enchanting that he found it
necessary to blur it by a fault or two,
lest It should prove too bright and
good-for human nature's daily food.
" But there are two drawbacds to
this property," sighed out this apostle
ot the mart, "the litter of the roses
and the noise of nightingales'."

The jiopulnr vote for President iu

Orant in those of Uie reconstructed

The Mobile Register, John Forsyth's
paper, accepts the inevitable. It says :
"We go lor Greeley and Brown, "be
cause we cannot afford in the slightest
degree to be responsible for tlie elec
tion ot Grant and Wilson." .
The ex-Confederate Generals do not
swallow Greeley. Joe Johnston said
a short time ago tliat if Greeley would
consent to die within a month ot bis
election, as Harrison did, lie (John
ston) might consent to give him a lift,
not otherwise. "

"The Baltimore nominations excited
no enthusiasm here. They are recelv

lence. A prominent Democrat and
ex-otllclal says that M0 Democrats in
one section ot this country will remain

next. We have found two Greeley
Republicans in the county, one of
whom is very doubtful."
Bkkcher on Grant. Henry Ward
Beecher, In whose sterling common
sense tlie people ofthls country have au
abiding faith, says in (be Christian
Union :
In all truly, civilized nations tlie
evidences of personal dignity, manlv
simplicity, and directness are highly
honored. No American President was
ever so absolutely unpretentious, so
civil and modest in his manner as Gen
eral Grant.
Kind words are tlie brightest flow
ers of earth existence ; they make n
very pnradlseof the humblest home
the world can show. Use them, ami
especially aromid the fireside circle.
They are jewels beyond price, and
more precious to heal the wounded
lieart, and make weighed down spirits
glad, than ail other blessings tlie earth
can give. '
The Democratic papers are all vig
orous advocates of 'the one term
principle." Since that Is jut one
