A Patent Cat
A member of the editorial staff
of the Cleveland Leader, it iaaaid,
has inveuted a sheet-iron cat with
cylindrical attachment and steel
claws and teeth. It is worked by
clock work. A bellows inside,
swells np the tail at will to a belligerent
size, and by a tremolo attachment,
causes the patent oat at
the same timo to emit all the noises
of wliicb the living cat is capable.

fifty or 6ixty cats attack
him at once. No sooner does the
patent cat feel the weight of an
antagonist than his teeth and
claws work with lightning rapidity.
Adversaries within six feet
ot him aro torn into 6hreds.?
Fresh battalions come on to meet
a similar fate, and in half an hoar
nothing remains but several bushels
of hair, toe nails, and fiddle
strings, of the once cats.

Tor the Greenville EnterpriseMr.
Eftitor?Tlic political situation of HT
Stat* is a very peculiar ono at this time. The
white people of our State bare been forced on
by an uncontrollable destipy for the laat seren
or eignt years; they bare'done tbo things that
they did not intend to do. Tbo policy they
havo generally pursued, has invariably resulted
in mortifying failures and the opposito
of what thoy did expect. Another opportunity
is now presented to us to correct tho 1
abuses of tho State government; to harmonise
with the colored race; by restoring political
oonfldenoo with the natire-born citizens. The
policy of tho Democracy of 1868, and tho
vonal deception of the Reform party of 1870,
will make this a more difficult job, and will
demand tho greatest possible prudenco and
wisuom in mo policy inai may do aaoptou by
the white people of tho State in tho political
revolution of 1872. Wo have two candidates
for President presented to tho pcoplo for a
choice, whoso political records and platforms
are admitted by all parties to be, in substance
tho same; and tho influcnco that tho white'
people of the Stato may have in our govern*
ment for good or evil, depends entirely in tho
oboico of Greeley or Grant. If Greeley is
endorsed by the Democarcy of tho State?if
tho whito people encourage tho endorsement
by their votes?then they "have agaiu repeated
tbo folly of 1898, the stupidity of 1870 ; and
all possible hope of political co-opcration, and
peaccnblo prosperity of tho two races for the
noxt four yoars, will again pass beyond our
control. This may be considered by some as
a broad statement, and so I will qualify it by
giving my reasons:
In tho first place, tho solid colored vote of
the Stato willl bo cost for Grant. Tho vory
manner in which Greeley has been endorsed
by tbo Democracy of tbo State, would natu*
rally ptoduco this result?notwithstanding
they will readily admit that the individual
claims of Greeley on their suffrage may bo
equal to those of Grant; but tbo priuoiple
involved is their rights and liberty that has
been sccnrcd to them by the Republican party,
cannot be safely committed to tho men that
endorse Mr. Greeley. And it is not against
Mr. Greeley that the colored vote of the State
will bo cast, but against tho men that are
seeking powor under his wing. Their sagacity
has readily discovered the deception of tbo
endorsement. It must have been made in a
very different spirit, and doubtless would have
been done, if it had been sincere. Grant's administration
is denounced as autocratic, despotic,
corrupt and extravagant; nnd yet, Mr.
Groeley has endorsed every act of the Administration
until the very moment that he yiold*
cd to the delusive aspiration for tho Presi*
uency. mo principal objection or tbo Greeley
faction in this State to Orant is found in his
enforcing the Ku Klux laws of Congress; and
in all this American Union, no man endorsed
thoso laws more zealously, or pressed their pas
sago with more energy than Horace Greoley
did?and hero the renal deception of his ea? ,
dorsement is exposed, in this inconsistent
attempt to make ono man a vilo criminal for j
what is glossed over as a virtuous and right* <
eous act in another. And what man who will
reason frora.tho right stand-point, who is a ,
friend to law and order, and desires tbo peace
and prospcrty of his country, will be found
denouncing Grant as an autocratic despot for '
doing his duty?his whole duty, in suppress- j
ing a secret band of midnight muderers and ]
robbers, by military force ? That such an or.
ganization did exist, to such an extent, that 1
life, liberty and property wen insecure in our 1
State, no intelligent man will now deny or
doubt, after the astounding developments by
the confessions of those who plead guilty of
the charges, and throwed their chances on the
clemency of a magnanimous Government.?
These developments are a reflection on the
character and morals of our State, and by (
the fostering and countenance that such a relic
of barbarism has received by some of our
people, is conclusive proof that thA influences
of religion, civilization and honor, r.ro lost nud ,
disregarded by a faction of our State; who
would sacrifice the dearest interest and happiness
of the Stato on the altar of their blind
ambition to rule or ruin. What honest Dem- |
erat or Ropublienn wonld affiliate with this (
faction and cherish the slightest hope of reformation
by such an alliance if their chaoce (
for controlling the State ware possible? And |
another ruoro important consideration for the (
whito people and Democracy of tho State, is, (
that if you do, from honest motives, as bon - (
omblo men, endorse Mr. Greeley and the
Cincinnati platform, then you can, without a
compromise of a single principle, and with the
same consistency and honesty of intention, (
endorso Mr. Grant and the Philadelphia platform.
Then the next point is, which of these
two endorsements will giro to as the most influence
in oar State government, and wonld
produce the most harmonious, peaceable cooperation
with the colored pooplo, for without
this cooperation we are powerless in the Government?
For if the solid white voto of the
State was cast in opposition to Mr. Grant, itft
conld not elect a Governor or a single Stat
officer or member of Congress, or aaahe one
electoral vote for Presldeat, for ;?h? colored
vol# is about thirty thousand in tba majority,
which will ha unanimous for Grant?not because
they distrust Greeley, but because thojr
fear tbo power that tbey must delegate to tho
Ku Klux faction that he* endorsed Greeley
frop dishonest mot ires. ,

iey that wofthjL work the leaat praotiCal

office that has deceived the hoaeat men at
all parties for Iba last time. Tha work of
reforming the State Government is the
work of the Republican party, and all outside
attempts to take the job oat of our
hands will only retard its progress. 'When
political aspiranta boast that the heal of tho
tyrant baa beea raised from five Countlea
in the States and that martial law ocases to
exist, not because it ie an evideoee that the
neeeasity no longer exista for eo stringent
means to pretest tha laws and liberties of

they have for the barbarous acts of the
Kn Klux, and the Administration of Grant
is cursed and denounced for doiojg just what
every honest man and law-abidisg citizen
of nil parlies wanted done, can suoh a policy
be sopported by thinking, sensible men
of either party f The effect of such a policy
will be to force honest men of both
parties to vote for men that are objectionable,
sod prevent a co-operation with the
colored people, without which ws can never
take the first step towards rsforming our
Slate Government. This unfortunate issue
has been mads by this faotion of disappointed,
preset ibed and corrupt office-seekers,

the question. One other point will show
that we are not oppressed by taxation to
support Ibe national Government. Not
one man in every thousand pays a dollar of
direct revenue tax in the Stale; in the upper
Counties the amount is so small that all
looal collectors have been abolished. In
18A8 the Batesville Manufacturing Company
paid more taxes iwbne month than is
now paid by the whole County in twelve
months. The national debt has been also
diminished, and tho cotton tax will be refunded.
Docs this look as if we were oppressed
by Grant's Administration with
heavy taxes? If we could present the
same record for our Stnte Government, we
would shortly be a prosperous people.
It is clear to common sense and reason
that the white people of the State will gain
nothing by toting for Mr. Greeley. Even if
hie election was possible,lie would be powerless
to do anything towards lessening the
taxes a single dollar, or to prevent the reckless
extravagance of the Legislature, or to
punish bribery and corruption?these important
measures that all honest men of all
parties are so much interested about, and
that will decide the prosperity of the Slato.

uc/ me lucm ijut'imunF, una nave nothing
lo do directly with national politics, and
should be considered isolate from Presidential
issues. But the battle-cry of office
seekers invariably tortures all issues into
one iMue, and bitter and fruitless discussions
follow on questions that do not in
any way affect the interest of our State?
receive more consideration than the local
questions that every tax pay-er in the State
is direetly interested in. This is the rock
on which our State has been wrecked, ruin
ed and spoiled of her glory by political pirates.
The attacks of the ultra Democracy
and the Ku Klux Sympathizers on Grant's
Administration in this Slate have settled
the point m far as the colored vote is concerned*
Ko argument or appeal to Ahem
by the friends of his Administration would
have boen half so potent, or have done the
work as effectually ; and so it is a fixed
fact that all sensible men had just as well
consider now at once before they throw up
their hats for Greeley. If they desiro to
have ao influence In the government of our
State, and to use that influence to ferret
out and correct its errors, they will decide
to vote for Mr. Grant, and then co-operate
with the colored citizens in securing good
and honest men of either race or parly to
govern the State. I made this same appeal
to the white people of my State in 1968,
but it was rejected with sgorn and derision.
I now rapeat it, believing that the prudence
and wisdom of the country will sustain it,
and will not allow the waitings of political
pirates to prevent a peaceable and harmonlous
co-operation of the white and colored
citizen* at the ballot box in October next,
and then and lb era join bauds as political
pquals, and sing the last funeral requiem of

New York tp eoliyH a? iplervlow with
Uoraee Greeley. tfocble to iwrt thd capital.
Greeley must oonie to him at once at
the White House. Greeley promptly complied
with the request. After the first formal
civilities were over. Camp rose to leave,
bat President Johoeon requested him iMP**
reaie, sod he did to during the whole luterview.
. | r*
Johnson opened the osnvereatloo by say
iog that be found himself in the most trying
position. The nation woe convulsed
with passion in eonsequtnce of Mr. Lincola's
assassination ; the situation was new
end embarrassing to him; he felt loader
quale.to the task to which be bed so unexpectedly
been called, and he felt the need,
as he bad ngver before felt itj ot the counsel
of some cool and aagaofelis man. Ho had
therefore sent for Mr. Greeley. Whet course
to pursue, how to stem the torrent of Norths
ore trenay, how to manage the rein* of government
in a crisis so awful, was a problem
too deep for for him to solve. Placing
himself in Mr. Greeleyh hands, he asked :
WHAT MUST I DO ?
Thanking biro for the confidence thus res
posed in him, Mr. Greeley replied ihkt his
heat course was to call to hie assistance a
few of the wisest And best men in the coun- 1
try. They should be representative men
from the two great sections. On the part
of the North, he would suggest Governor
Andrew, of Massachusetts; Gerrett Smith,
of New York, and Judge Spalding, of OhioA
like number of Southern gentlemen
should be called ; they ehould be invited to 1
the White House its guests of the President, 1
thereto remain and deliberate as long as 1
they thought fit; and, having agreed upon 1
some poiicy, they should submit it to the
President for his approval, and if approved '
by him, as Mr. Greeley donbled not it 1
would be, it ehould be faithfully and rigidly 1
pursued, despite the popular clamor whioh 1
might for a time ensue.
Mt. Johnson thought well of tha sugges
tion. " But what Southern men should I
invite, Mr. Greeley, to meet the gentlemen 1
you have named from the North f" 1
" Firet and foremost," said Mr. Greeley, '
" Robert E. L?e, of Virginia."
" Great heavens !" exclaimed Johnson ; 1
" ha is the very head and fiont of the re- 1
bellion." 1
" I know that," said Gieeley, " and for '
that very reason you should invite him. '
He knows, if any man does, the wants of
the Southern people; lie of all men pos? '
eesses the confidcnoe of the entire South ; I
he is upright and pure; he would not re- I
commend a single action on }*our part which
would not meet the approval of your ad- '
viaers from the North, and the result of the 1
deliberation* iu which Robert E Lee, Judge
Campbell, of Alabama, and a third man 1
like them, from the South, took part, would 1
not only insure the approbation of the die* <
affected State#, but, in the course of a few 1
months, would, I nm firmly persuaded, I
bring to your support every right-minded i
and right hearted man at the North. The <
pacification of the e?trnnged sections, your I
main difficulty, would (hue be solved, and
your path made clear towards the solution t
of minor difficulties. How are you to discover
the true sentiment of the South nnd {
the wants of the people if you do not con- t
suit her representative men? And what t
sort of restoration will that be in the plan ?
of which the South has no part whatever? t
It must of necessity be one sided, partial t
and nnjust. Be persnnded, Mr. President,
nnd call to your aid men of the standing, <
position and temper I have suggested, and 1
by all means esll them from both sections." t
In this strain Mr. Greeley continued un- 1
til be had ]

over to his way of thinking. The inter- '
view ended with the assurance from the 1
President that he would adopt the views 1
of Mr. Greeley, and follow them exactly, '
He would, however, make a single modifi- f
cation?he would substitute Horace Oree* '
ley in the place of Oerrit Smith.
"Very well," said Mr. G., " if you call
me I will come gladly, and aid yon to the '
best of my ability." *
They parted, and ten days afterwards
Johnson threw Greeley's suggestions to Unwinds,
adopted ' my policy " and pursued
it; with what result the country is bnt teo
sadly aware. <
Thus it will be seen that tbe roll of ps

ho has systematically pursued ever since
the close of the war. So, also, his confi*

Southern leaders, and his willingness to
trust the Southern people is no new thing.
What he is tosday he was years ago; and
what belter guarantee do we want far the

wild with rage against the South, whso the
execution ot every one ot her politleal and
military chiefs, and the confiscation of the j
entire property of her people would hsrdfy
have atoned in Northern eyes lor Lincoln's (
assassination, then Greeley, with the wis*
dom of the statesmen and the sympathy of
a great heart, stood up for the South alone
in his party, recommending a line of policy
which ttould have brought peaee and happiness
to the country, and exhibiting traits
of oharacter which do credit to and com

0DtTUKn: Your note of the iOth In teat,
conveying to me the aetiee of the
eoeventioa to placing my name <n nomine.
non nr ins office or Ylce-Preaidant of the
United States, le before ne. I need not
give you the assurance of my grateful appafcoiatlon
of the high hondr conferred upon
me by thin notion of the Fifth Notional
Convention of the Repobliean party.
Sixteen years ago, in the name elty, wan
held the drat meeting of the men who,
amid the darknees and doubt#of thatnoor
of alareholdiiig aaoendeney and aggression,
had aaaemblod in national conventiea to
eoafer with each other upon the exigencies
into whleh that fearful domination had
brought their country. After full oonfer*.
ence, the higheet point of reeolv# they
could reach, the moat they dared to reooromend,
was t Jte avoweJ pnrpoae to prohibit
the existence of slaves in the territories.
Last waek the earae party mat by its reps
reseotativee from, thirty seven States and
ten territories at the name great centre of
Wealth, intelligence and power, to review
the past, take note of the present, and ins
dioate Its line of action for the future. Ac
typical facta?headlands of the nation's recent
history?there *at' on its platfotm, takiog
prominent nod honorable part in its
proceedings ; Admitted on terms of perfect
equality to the leading hotels of the sity ;
not only the colored representatives of the
race which were ten years before in abject
slavery, bet one of the oldest and most prominent
of the once de*pia?d abolitionists,
to whom was aecorded. as to no other, the
warmest demonstrations of popular regard
and esteem?an ovation not to htm alone,
but to the causa b? had so ably, and for so
many years, represented, and to the mon
and women, living ann dead, who had toil
eJ through long years of obloquy and selfsacrifice
for lha glorious fruitions of that
hour. It hardly needed the brilliant summary
of its platform to set forth its illustrious
achievements The very presenoe of
those men was alone significant of the victories
abeady achieved, the progress al
ready mad*, and the great distance which
the nation had traveled between the years
of 185(1 and 1872.
But grand has been its record. The He
publican party rests not on its past almic
It looks to the future, an 1 grapples with itproblems
of duty and danger It proposes
ns objects of its immediate accomplishment
"complete liberty and exact equality " I'-r
all ; the enforcement of "the recent amendments
"to the National Constitution; reforms
in the " civil servioe the " national
domain to be set apart for homes for the
people;" the adjustment of duties on im
ports so as to secure " remunerative wae-s
to labor;" the extension ot bounties to all
soldiers and sailors " who in the line ol duty
became disabled ;" the continual and
careful encouragement and protection of
voluntary immigration, and the guarding
" with jealona care the rights of adopted
citizens;" the abolition of the franking
piivilege, and "the speedy reduction of
the rates of poetnge ;" the reduction of the
natienal debt and the rates of interest, and
"the resumption of specie payment;" the
encouragement of American commerce and
o^^ipbuiiding; the suppression of vin
irnee, and " the protection of the ballot
box." It also plated on record the ?pins
ions and purposes of the party in favor of
amneaty, against. all lorma of repndia'ion,
and endorsed tin; humane and peaceful policy
of the Administration io regard to the
Indians
But while clearly defining and distinctly
announcing the policy of the Republican
party on there questions of practical legisI
lation and administration, the convention
did not ignore the great social problems
which are pressing their claims for volution,
and whieh demand the most earefol study
and wise consideration. Foremost stands
the labor question?concerning ' the relations
of capital and labor." The Republican
party accepts the duty of "so shaping
legislation as to secure the full pro'ec'ion
'and the amplest field for capital and for la
bor. the creator of capital, the largest op.
portunilies, and a just share of the nautual
profile ol these two great servants of civilisation."
To woman, too, and her demands, it extends
the hand of grateful recognition, and
proffers its most respectful inquiry. It r?
cognises her nchie devotion to the country
and freedom, welcomes her admission to
" wider fields of usefulness," and commends
her demands for " additional rights * to the
calm and careful consider ition of the nation,
' To gnard well what has already heen ae
cured, to work out faithfully and wisely
whet is now in hand, and to consider the
questions whieh are looming up to view
but little way before as. the Reouhlicsn
parly is to-day what it was in the gloomy
years of alasory, rebellion an<l ri-eoostrues
lion, a na ionai necessity.
It appeals, therefore, fur snpport to the
patriotic and libertyloving, to the just and
humane, to all who would dignify labor, to
all who would edneate, elevate and lighten
the burdens of the sons and daughters of
toil. With its great reeord, the work still
to be done, under the lead of the groat soldier,
whose historic renown and whose suo
eeesful administration for the last throe
Sears begat such popular confidence, the
,?puhlicati party may confidently, in the t
language of the convention you represent,
start upon a new march to victory."
Having accepted thirty-six years ago the
distlngnishing doclrinea o* the Republican (
party of to-day; having, during yeara of {
' that period, for their advancement subordinated
all other iasnea, acting in and eo-ope
rating with political organizations, with '
whose leading doctrines 1 sometimes had
| neither sympathy nor belief; hsvinglatum
ed incessantly for many years to fonnd and
build up the Republioau party ; and having,
during its existence, taken an humble
| part in its grsod work, I gratefully aoeept
the oominatioo thus tendered, and shall en,
deavor, If it shall be ratified by the people, )
taithinily to perform the duties it imposes.
