Gov ernoi
Pennett, is stumping tin
Mate for Grant
and "Wilson,
and
piliing .away m
voice"' for the
weak, small
Kadical cause.
While some may think that he is
out of his proper latitude and that
it would have looked far better in
him to remained at home and at
tended to the various duties of his
otiice, iienuett is only doing his
master's biddintr. Under Grant
there has been a change wrought
in the old order of things. Now it
made
the
duty of all officials to
attend till elections, and make
speeches in favor of the President.
The duties of the olliee are but a
secondary consideration; the office
holder must bow to the President
first and obey
hi
s wi
.1 tl
icn
what little time there is left may be
devoted to the office and then to
the interests of the people. The
Kaiser at Washington established,
r.s a rule never to be set aside, at
the commencement of his reign,
that those who received benefits at
his hands must return to him just
compensation therefor, either in the
shape of, first, bull-pups; second,
cottages by the sea and shares in
sandstone speculations; third, ci
gars and Pourbon; and fourth,
stump speeches, delivered on the
eve of elections in such a manner
as to gull the too confiding masses
into the belief that the Constitution
provides for all this. Pennett is
only completing the. payment for
the olliee he now enjoys, knowing
that he cannot continue to be Gov
ernor without doing so, and feeling
that there is no hope of again se
curing office if lie is once deprived
of it. For this reason he is now
stumping Oregon and advocating
a secomf of office for Grant beg
ging for a continuance of his own
dead and butter as are the remain
der of that brigade throughout the
different States at the present time.
Put, Pennett, old boy, you might
as well go home. The old andoft
icpeated story you are now engag
ed in telling has become very stale
and is now tiresome in the extreme
to the masses, who have heard a
a great deal of talk about the hon
esty and economy of the present
Administration and found out, to
their sorrow, that is all that it has
amounted to. Greeley will be
elected, and then a better man will
fill your office, and you had better
make the best of it (luring the little
time that is left for you to prove
vour loyalty (according to high
Padieal authority), and bankrupt

What is Proposed.
It is Imt natural that the nu-ree-nary
advoeatcs of tho I'lvsi.lent,
who liavo onjoyctl the profits of
oorruptioi and tyranny, by pro
longed misrule over the South,
should be exercised about their
spoils now that the election of Air.
(ireeley, and the end of this in
lamous system are foreshadowed.
The Jjitrro'-tan, Grant oryjan in
Chicago, takes alarm on this point
and seeking the comfort of its carpet-bag
plunderers, wants to know
badly what will become of those
loyal gentlemen after the 4th of
Alarch next, when their patron
shall vacate the White House.
The question has been asked,
time and again, what does Air.
Greeley propose to do with the
Southern States if elected ? His
orators and newspapers talk about
the "villainous carpet-baggers,"
ami bewail the election of igno
rant negroes to olliee. What are
they going to do about it? In
what manner do they propose to
change the result in North Caro
lina, for instance, in case Mr. Gree
ley becomes President?
1. Well, we propose to treat
the Southern States, now robbed
.and oppressed by organized con
spirators against their peace and
prosiK-rit v, as the Constitution
a. l '
recognizes them, and as all the
other States are treated. Nothing
more and notning less. If they
are not equals, then they are not
members of the Union. If they are
equals, then they are entitled to all
the rights and privileges which are
guaranteed to every State.
"2. Wo propose to withdraw
the Federal bayonets and intimi
dation, by which these flagrant
abuses have been kept up, discord
perpetrated, and the black and
white races et ranged, in the inter
est of Padical rule and for the
profiit of rogues and ruffians.
o. We propose that the amend
ments to the Constitution, all of
w
hieh are tclf.-operat ing and prac-
tit
ill v irrepealable, shall
ie can ted
out in good faith, both in
and letter, and that all men,
spirit
with-
out regard to previous distinctions,
shall be protected in every right,
Political and personal. This brief
answer meets the whole case.
Neither new legislation is neces
sary to furnish a remedy for the
existing evils. The situation is in
a nut "shell. "Withdraw the pro
tection which the Administration
has extended to the carpel-baggers,
by the abuse of military power,
and they would instantly fall of
their own weight, and be too glad
to escape from the scenes of their
villainy. Pcstore the right of
self-government honestly, and this
rotten fraudulent, and thieving
system would tumble to' pieces in a
day. Like all other forms ot iniq
uity, it dreads justice and truth
most. 'Take away the bayonets,
the corrupt marshals and the ma
chinery of force, and there would
be the end of carpet-baggism.
With that change would come
real peace, good-will harmony of
races, and reconciliation in its
grand sense. Without it the fu
ture is gloomy and darkened by
the deej) shadows. Three years'
experience of Grantism has taught
the country to know what might
be cxpejted in the South with an
extension of power, lie-election
means new license and worse hor
rors than have yet been realized, a
fresh carnival of crime and crush
ing tyranny, which tnu.st end in
wide-spread" ruin, and make the
cotton-producing States another
Jamica. I'atriot.
According to the testimony of a
radical nigger at the Grant conven
tion recently held at Napoleon,
Arkansas, and the testimony of
a radical nigger is of course not to
be regarded as anything like a reed
to be shaken by any stray wind,
Mr. Part on,-in his recently ante
mortem biography of the old man
of the woods, has omitted at least,
one important fact in Mr. Greeley's
history. The nigger in question
stated to his fellow delegates, con
s:sting of about five hundred other
ni Hirers, and six white men, whose
chief regret w as that they were not
nioMi-ers also, that Mr. Greeley at

trader. j ins aimiaim vim-ni. ...
satisfactorily confirmed by another
Grant mLT'-rer, clinched the
nail by remarking "Pat's so, and
'Lord how he did whip dis nigger.''
In the teeth of this conclusive evi
dence of Mr. Greeley's past pro
clivities, it may indeed be asked:
"Can the, colored vote go for Cin
cinnati and its nominees?" Vote

Mr. Greeley's Iate Speeches.
Fiom the Baltimore San.
Aftvr a two weeks' tout-
in the
West, Mr. Greeley has returned to
New York, having appeared in
various parts of the coin si rv before
vast popular assemblages of men'
whose votes he seeks in bchan ot
a cause which he believes involves
the pacification of tho country and
purification of the Government.
As he himself has said, it has long
been a part of unwritten law of
our pontics that a L residential can-t

Ih.s htstoncal precedent he has j
his great cause. Still, it is not .
every aspirant to the Presidency j
who might, not damage his pros- j
pects by addressing popular audi- ;
dices, and, therefore, it might be j
expedient for some to enrobe them- i
selves in dignity, and have it under- j
stood that silence is also statesman- j
ship. Put Mr. Greeley seems to ;
have seen no reason why he should
not look his countrymen in the
face, nor why he .should confine j
himself in his addresses to them
to non-political topics.
He has now returned to New
York ;
weeks
liter an absence of some two
, during which time he has
made some five or six speeches of
various lengths almost every day.
His audiences have been vast and
of all shades of national and local
politics and ideas, yet, if he has
ever failed of speaking appropri
ately to the occasion, if he has ever
failed of eliciting those sympathies
which make the whole world kin,
if he has ever been indiscreet in
one ol his utterances, or irritating
or uncharitable in a single word or
expression, we do not know when
or w here those faults can be justly
laid to his charge. There may be
some who cannot understand what
an achievement this is, but it is be
cause they cannot realize its difli
culties, and now do not know even
the magnetism of
an immense'
au-

of the numerous indiscretions

superior, however, to the intellect

of the canvass, it is to be hoped
that the good seed w hich Mr. Gree
ley has sown broadcast will in due
time take root, and the real instead
of the nominal reunion, decentrali
zation of power, and the right of
the American people to manage
their own affairs will eventually be
triumphant.
ITirt in jr.
It is remarkable but neverthe
less true, that, as a rule, flirts, both
male and female, do not mnrry
quickly. The chances are that a
girl who becomes engaged at
eighteen, goes on becoming engag
ed and disengaged, as is the cus
tom for Flirts to do, ultimately set
tles down into a confirmed old
maid. If she does wed, as a gen
eral rule, she develops into a viru
lent wasp, makes her husband miserable,-and
brings up her children
badly. It is not very difficult to
find "reasons why flirts do not
marrv. Sensible men admire in a
woman something besides a pretty
face and engaging manners. They
love intellect, common sense, and
heart qualifications, whirh the lit it
does not possess. The true woman
allows her affections full play,and is
not ashamed of them. She will
! not rem I nn'.n to oeneve s::e cares
! for him when she does no such
I thino-- she will not fiirt with him
justVor the sake of flirting. She
has a true conception of what is
right, and possesses a great deal
I,!?,.-.. i-aitiiiian sense. She has de-
rived her education from some
thing else than three volume novels
and'the society of the empty
pated. She may attract less at
tention in the drawing room than
a flirt does, because she is less noisy
and obtrusive: but, for all that,
she will be married sooner, ami
make her husband a better and a
truer wife. A true woman does
not care for the spooney young
man. She dislikes his foppishness,
the vivid compliments he pays her,
and his effeminacy. He quickly
j finds this out and
j peace, and usually
ana leaves her in
marries a 111 it.

Mrs. Laura I). Fair, the Cali

acquittal to her beauty. If she
had been a hard-working washer
woman, with irregular features
and a tanned complexion, s
she would probably have bt

P is to be hoped that Mrs. Fair
will now fall in love with some
one of the jury who acquitted her.
If the juryman selectee! by her
thinks more ef his wife than he
does of Mrs. Fair, it will then be
proper, according to his interpre

Storekeeper Pan Paid win, of
Miller S: Congei's bonded ware
house, in South street, planted him
self at one end of the long desk in
the warehouse department of the
Custom House, on Monday last,
with a list of officials' names laid
before him, which District Officer
Hill had furnished lnnng the
month", of September. This being
"pay day," one filter .'mother, after
drawing his monthly salary, step
ped up to the "captain's otiice" to
"pass hi-s chips," as one of these
unfortunates termed it. In other
words each employee of
" LTncIe i
t
Sam was expected to
pa v
in an
upon his yearly
income as a donation toward the j
vr-rdf1 Lin of" our most t 'st i m ?l 1 .! i
gift-taker, President LTlysses S.
Grant. These officials were not ex
actly coerced into thi method of
appropriating their hard earning,
but had been advised "as a friend"
thus to do, from time to time, by
this good kind-hearted Mr. Hill.
The San reporter tarried in the
hallway, near the Warehouse De
partment, long enough to watch
the movements ami listen to some
of the remarks of those-who had
just i.Lvn lenei eu vi i.ivn juviii j.
One of them said, "It is all very
well for you, comrades, who com
mand better pay than I, to turn
this sort of thing off as a pretty
good joke, but 1 can't see it just in
i..... t: i ..r iw,:,. .,,.. a
that light. My pay is smaller than
that of any other person in this
crowd, ami I have a large family to
support. I have a wife and two
children down sick, and they are
actually suffering for the necessaries
oflife. If you call ibis fun, then I
don't see the point."
Another of the party, whom the
San reporter knew, remarked, as
both came away together: "Now
ain't this outrageous '? It ought to
be exposed. I have had to pay an
assessment to-day of dollars for
the benefit of a dead beat Presi
dent, and I can tell you it goes
might iiy against the grain. I wish
that those bills I handed in to Paid-
win were inside of Grant and aU of
a light blaze1. Perhaps that would
forcshadew to him the little hell he
has got to encounter m November
then he won't be elected, except
to go back to Galena. If Grant
has the use of my money, Gree ley
shall have benefit of mv vote."

Mr. I). W. Thompson lias just
been dismissed from a place which
he had held for five yerrs as an in
spector in the Custom House, be
cause he is a son-in-law of P. T.
Parnum, ami Mr. P.irnum is a
Greeley man. 31 r. Thompson had
paid the assessment levied upon
liim for political purposes by the
Grant managers about a fortnight
before his elismissal; but that was
not sufficient; the unsoundness of
his father-in-law was an ample rea
son for dissmissing him.
It is stated by the Tribune that
Mr. II. Mt-rshon, an inspector for
more than two years, has also been
dismissed refusing to pay this as
sessment. The Executive Commit
tee of the Grant State Central
Committee required that 810,000
should be collected from the in
spected for election purposes.
Mr. Mershon refused to pay; but al
though the law prohibits such levies
upon government employees,he was
dismissed on account of the refusal.
Elisha Holmes of Greenpoint,
a night inspector, has likew ise been
dismissed for refusing to pay this
assessment.
Such is civil service reform under
Madame Jones' Patent JtlustlC-'
.
Madam. Jones, Late of Paris,
Kentucky, Legs leafe to present to'
the fashionabiefemale community
her patent inflated bustle, a secret
and valuable invention.. The attj)
vantages inherent in the inflated
bustle are such as will cause it to
supercede all the varieties now in
use. It is comporcd of India rub
ber, inflated with gas, and can be'
refilled byr hitching it to an ordin
ary burner. Pendered thus buoy
ant, its desirable qualities are at
once apparent.
It can be inflated to any desired
extent, and so is adaptabletolr.
tastes. For the matronly dame of

balloon, ami, for ladies of mania-
l re proportions it can be reduced
lt will.
For buoyancy it is all that could
be desired. It never flattens like
newspapers, sprawls like springs, or
spills its conte nts like the saw-elus5
stuffed ones but floats gracefully
in the air, giving the wearer the
airy lightness of a bounding ga
zelle. As an ever ready self-a'dj listing
cushion, it is most admirable,
being far preferable to the down
iest upholstry or the springiest of
spring hairs.
As an aid to pedes-trianism it 3
uniquev Gently lifting the wearer,
it acts on the principle of aQro
peller wheel to a steamer.
In crossing
gutters it is an ever
present help.
In dancing it imparts elasticity
no other way attainable. Py its
aid the fattest dowager can waltz
as lightly as a girl of fifteen, withj
out exertion or latigut
In going up stairs it will be ap
preciated by the weak kneed, and
will soon render elevators useless.
As a life preserver it is the most
reliable ever mnde. Ladies wear
ing it will float on the surface like
swans, and couldn't sink if they
tried. .
As a preventative of injuries
fVom falling it commands itself to
the cautiems. The force of the fall
is not only broken, but the re
bound, will gently place the wearer'
upon her feet.
For the tender footed it is just
the thing. Its buoyancy prevents
the toes from crowding into the
shoes, and consequently higher
heels may be worn with comfort.
Should the wearer wish to re
duce the size of her panier uporr
going, for example from the ball
room to the street carriage she has
only to open the valve and allow- a
portion or the gas to escape ; to
cnl.arge it she can resort to the
nearest gas burner.
Candor:.- Madam JoneS, while'
warranting the Patent Inflated
Pustle aseperfectly safe in inexpe
rienced hands, begs to add a few
cautionary remarks.- The wearer
should be carefnl not to walk with
gentlemen who arc smoking, or
otherwise e'xpose themselves to fire.
ixplosions have occurred oy wnicli
large amolmts of dress goexls, be
sides several women have been
ruined. Care should also be taken
to properly proportion the sizeoof
the bpsftle to the weight ef the'
wearer. Instances of fatal results:
have followed carelessness in this
respect. One very thin laelypupon
inflating he r bustle to much, srtd
deney shot skyward like arockct,
and is; very likely now among the
stars, and still going higher. An
other gushing creature, in the f risk
iness of her girlish nature,
carelessly jumped up and down.
She was horiilieel to flndo she
couldn't stop, but went higher at
every rebound. At present she
comes elown abou"! once a week
and expects to clear the moon at
the next jump.
With these few cautionary re
marks the Patent itflatcd bustle :s
respectfully submitted to the pub
lic. Madam Jonks.
