bad acted in saoh a manner as to upset
all reconstruction. Schurz dissected

rect assertions. The bloody chasm, ac?

signed to the command of one of them.
150 recruits have been ordered to Fort
Rice, Dakota.
Tbs letter reoeived some time ago by
Senator Sumner, signed by thirty re?
spectable colored citizens, of Washing?
ton, asking his opinion on the issue be?
tween Grant and Greeley, espeoiaUy
with reference to their antecedents and
present position, has remained unan?
swered till now. It is understood that
the Senator's answer will be given the
press to-morrow. In it he reviews at
length the claims of the two candidates,
but it is not kuown which he decides
upon. He gives asa watchword, "The
unity of the. republic^ and the equal
rights of all, with r?conciliation."
Probabilities-The low barometer on
the lower lakes will move Eastward over
New York aud New England, with oloudy
weather. Southerly winds and rain are
extending over Western and Southern
Pennsylvania. Change of weather and
South-westerly winds, veering to light
Northerly, in Virginia and the South
Atlantic and Gulf States. Clearing and
clear weather and Northerly winds on
Tuesday over the lower lakes and South?
ward to the Ohio River. Partly oloudy
weather, with winds veering to Norther
, ly, on the upper lakes and in the North?
west, and South-easterly in the upper
I Mississippi.
THE BLUES AND THE G HE va.-Tho
campaign of Greeley and Brown is be?
ginning to develop some features of pe?
culiar interest and beauty. Thc ques?
tion involved in the campaign, and the
new attitude of parties and many old
political opponents, are exceedingly fa?
vorable for the exhibition of the true
spirit which should animate a republic.
There is a design on foot to give this
spirit form and substanoe and expression
more eloquent than any form of politioal
harangue. A Greeley and Brown olnb is
to be organized under the name of "The
Blues and the Greys." It is not a ward
olnb. The membership is to be drawn
from St. Loais County, and will be com?
posed only of men who were enlisted in
the late war on one Bide or the other.
Those who were in the Northern army
will be uniformed in blue, and those who
were in the Southern army will wear the
grey; and the blue and the grey will
march side by Bide in procession, an
equal number of eaoh, work like brothers
for a common cause, and strike for the
success of that cause at the ballot-box.
At a meeting for organization, a speaker
from eaoh army will be present and ad?
dress the meeting-Capt. Joseph Ooloord
and John Hallom. They will also enroll
themselves as members of this olnb.
The campaign will develop nowhere a
more beautiful -illustration of "the dead
past burying its dead," and the new life
and spirit which are springing up out of
the whole politioal situation.

A prudent Kentucky father, with a
marriageable daughter, found it impos?
sible, to keep the beaus from the house;
so' ho furnished her with a music box
which plays. "Home, Sweet Home," at
10 o'olook P. M., precisely. The beaus
are all gone and the house closed up in
five minutes after.
Secretary Delano, in his speech at
Raleigh, N. C., the other day, informed
the Democrats that they are not com?
pelled to vote for Greeley if they don't
want to. Secretary Delano, in the lan
gsagc cf ono of tho modorn classics,
"must either be a d-d fool himself, or
he must think we are."
The New York Commercial Advertiser
declares that "Greeley has basely de?
ceived Miss Anthony." If he has, it's
Susan's own fault. She is old enough
to know that gay and festive yoong fel?
lows like Greeley ought to be kept at a
distance.
Cameron's order to weed out all the
Greeley men in the custom house, post
office and mint, at Philadelphia, has not
been executed. The reason is, that a
dismissal of such a large body of officials
would show the Greeley strength and
do more harm than good to Gen. Grant.
A langh was once rais3d over this: Mr.
Kennard, robbing his hands in fatherly
pride and satisfaction, remarked, "My
wife has presented me a fine boy."
Giinning from ear to ear, his friend De
Jones retorted, "I guess it's a Kennard."
A girl in Osage, Ind., whose ears are

she not hear it.

What 1? Loyalty?
Governor Orr, of South Carolina, who
occupies a very painful position in the
political arena, was invited, BB our
readers know, to be present at the Radi?
cal demonstration in this city on Wednes?
day. He sent his regrets-he has quite
a crop of regrets-with some remarks
on the propriety ot bis old friends, the
Democrats, prior to 1860, voting for
Grant and Wilson, adding that could he
be present at the meeting bia speech
would bei an appeal to those old friends
to do so. He presents Grce ey and
Brown as life-long Republicans, and
wants to know if the old Demoorats can
vote for Greeley, Republican, why may
they not vote for Grant, Republican?
Other things being equal, for this very
good reason: if a Democrat has to vote
for a Republican it would be more
agreeable to vote for a "life-long one"
than for one who had deserted the
Democratic party and joined the most
ultra and proscriptive division of the
Republican party, as General Grant bas
done. That is a pretty good reason,
But there is a better:
Greeley was separated from the Demo
crate prior to tbe war chiefly on the
question of slavery. That is now dead,
and can be tho basis of no issue between
parties. Since the war his sentiment!
and opinions have been in sympathy
with the Democrats principles-equality
of States and people, respect for looa
State authority, general amnesty, tin
prompt liberation of all men under re
Htruiut for political offences, the pacifica
tiou of the country, and the just anc
honest administration of its affairs, ii
conformity with the Constitution.
Geu. Grant, who was a Democrat, am
voted for Buchanan, is an ultra Radical
whose administration pursues the polio;
that repression of the South is essentia
to tbe safety of the Government. Se
the innumerable arrests of white South
emera in nearly all the Southern State
as a means for this repression, this still
ing of the voice of the South. See Gov
Orr'a own representation of the horribl
condition of his own State of South Ca
rolina, brought about by the Ku Kiu
persecutions and Gen. Grant's suppoi
of the carpet-baggers' administration
their stealing and general corruption!
A more terrible picture of bad goven
ment aud public distress could hardly b
drawn. See iu North Carolina, and it
deed all over the South, the rigid an
unscrupulous measures taken to brio
Southern people into subjection to th
Grant power, and to force them int
voting for Grant for re-election .
Which is it best for a Democrat to vol
for, Greeley, tbe old Whig, now battlic
for liberty, or Graut, the old Democra
now straining the vast powers entr?ste
to him by a corrupt Congress to oppre
aud degrade the poople?
Wc cunnot see how any Democrat, o!
or young, or indeed how any America
citizen of clear intellect and nubias*
judgment, could hesitate a singlo insta
in declaring his preference for Or?ele
Power is power, and mon are too oft?
inclined to propitiate it. Birthrigl
have been sold for a mess of pottage b
fore now, aud men may again repeat tl
foolish transaction for a prc cut adva
tage at the cost of a life of regret ai
sorrow. But the wise man and the fir
man cunnot be brought to repeat t
folly in the case here presented; for tl
would be the greenest of all we ha
ever heard of, fraught with the least p<
sible good, aud entailing a world of mc
tifioation for any sensitive and pro
man, without one single ruy of conso
tion.
Gov. Orr asks a question quite oban
teristio of those who support G<
Grant, and quite appropriate to his ar
trary rule. The Governor inquires:
"Are these old-line Democrats cc
trolled by passion or judgment? Is i
their hostility to Grant an unquenobal
hate of the Government he represen
or an antipathy to him as the success
leader of the Union forces to viotc
over us?"
Grant is looked upon by such slav
followers as Gov. Orras the embodimi
of all the power of the country,
support him is loyalty, to oppose b
disloyalty. That is the cue for the Gr?
Radicals. Their leader is the impel
representative of the country. To sp<
harsh of bim is seditious-not to v
for him is disloyalty most grave uud i
pardonable. Loyalty without liberl;
corruption-is degradation into tbe d
of slavery-not "chattel slavery," i
slavery far worse. Tbe slavery of on
that of the body; that of the other is
slavery of the soul, the extinguish tn
of tho last ray of mental light wli
elevates man above the brute.
The "or" of Gov. Orr-?', e., or ?'
tipathy to him (Grant) as tho suocesi
leader of the Union forces to viet
over us!"-is insulting to the South,
first inquiry was injurious to himself;
second is a reflection upon his coon
men. If anything in regard to the
has been dearly shown in the Soutt
has been that generous impulse whic
characteristic of all brave and chivah
people, and whioh discards all maligi
towards those with whom they i
fought in the fair field of honorable ^
fare. They may as honorable men
ting nish between their adversaries. 1
may regard Sheridan with horror, w
towards Grant they dismiss all uni
feeling for his oonduct during the .
They have nothing to treasure up ago
him on that account; and it is a grosi
justice to insinuate that they ha
malioe towards him.
We cannot see how a prominent So
ern man could bring himself to oalui
ate his countrymen in this way. He
be "loyal" to his leader .without as{
ing his friends and neighbors; but p
bly he may suppose that Grant meas
his "loyalty" by the extent of the s
floe be makes to support bim, and
the sacrifice of his friends and oom
men will be considered one of very (
servioe and magnitude. Partisan
arbitrary power have always shown ri
ness to bring grief and puishment c
that oppose it. The superserviooabl
tivity of the followers of Grant in
aspersing their neighbors and easting
suspicion upon their "loyalty" is quite
natural-quite oonsistent with the his
tory of all tyrannies.
Governor Orr's letter is only of conse?
quence inasmuch as it shows the temper
of the Grant party-its rapid''march
toward the subversion of the Govern -
I mont by making one man the Govern?
ment and the support of him loy oliy, and
opposition to him disloyalty. We have
seen the former rewarded and we have
seen the latter terribly punished in one
part of the Union. When will thu pun?
ishments begin in the other? If Gree?
ley is defeated, will he not go to the
Dry Tortugas?-Richmond Dispatch.

KAISER WILLIAM AFFRONTS GENERAL
SHERMAN.-A Berlin correspondent of
the lril>une (Jane 8) tolls this carious
story:
General Sherman bas just left Berlin
after a conspicuously brief visit, and
young Grant will leave to-day. The
General was very indignant at the lack
of attention whioh he experienced from
the court, and, no doubt, will nurse his
wrath to keep it warm under the im?
pression that he has a good grievance.
He will say with truth that he went to
call on Moltke, wbose rank corresponds
with his own, on the very day of his ar?
rival; that Moltke did not return his
visit for three or four days; that Mr.
Bancroft, the American Envoy, notified
tbe Emperor's aid, General Hchwurtz
koppen, that Sherman would be happy
to pay his respects to the Emperor;, that
Sherman called promptly on Schwartz
koppen the day o? his arrival, and ex?
pressed a desire to see the Emperor;
that he never pretended that he hod uo
uniform, thongh on this vhut ha was in
a civilian's dress; and that to these; an?
nouncements Mr. Bancroft received a
reply the following day? tb the effect
that the Emperor had no objactiou to
receiving General Sherman. Mr. Ban?
croft advised. General Sherman, not to
accept the privilege ou su?h terms, I am
told; at all events, Sherman did not, but
pleaded his engagements.
The German side answers to the state?
ments of Gen. Sherman, that be had no
right to auk an audience of the Emperor,
exaept ia his character as General, and
in the uniform of his rank, (the etiquette
of the Prussian Court npon this subject
is as old as the monarchy;) that Sher?
man dined in uniform at Mr. Bancroft's,
the night Sohwartzkoppen's answer was
reoeived, and Scbwartzkoppen was pre?
sent and called attention to the fact
that Gnu. Sherman is the highest repre?
sentative ia the field of the American
Government, whioh supplied the ene?
mies of Germany with arms during the
war of 1870-'71; he is likewise well
known here for his pronounced proclivi?
ties for France then and since, and had,
therefore, no right to expect from this
Governmeut any bat purely official
civilities.
This is the case ou both sides, so far
as it is yet developed here to mo.
Among some of the Germans here the
impression seemB to prevail that Mr.
Bancroft added to his note to the foreign
office that Sherman waa without any
uniform, and mast do homage, if Ut nil,
in a oitizen's dress. Under this impres?
sion they lay the blame, I believe, npon
Bancroft for not knowing how to bring
bis guest into relations with the court,
and for having misrepresented the Gene?
ral's destitution in the matter of the
uniform. As far as I oan make out, the
matter was bungled on oor side, and tho
Germans were not unwilling to have a
good pretext. The Emperor, too, no
doubt, was pleased enough to escape the
awkwardness of an interview with a dis?
tinguished foreign officer, who only
speaks English, whioh the Emperor says
he himself speaks so badly that "not
even an American can anders tad him,"
the implication being that the Americans
speak English so badly that they ought
to understand bad English, if any one
does.
Senator Carl Schurz in a conversation
said: "The eleotion of the Conservative
tioket in North Carolina insures, beyond
a doubt, the eleotion of Horace Greeley.
All the States have their eyes fixed now
on North Carolina." Col. A. K. Mc?
Clure, of Pennsylvania, says: "Horace
Greeley will be elected by a majority of
200 electoral votes." Col. McClure re?
cently received a despatch from ex-Go?
vernor Curtin, of Pennsylvania, dated at
St. Petersburg, and saying that he was
coming home to stomp the State of
Pennsylvania for Greeley. Senator
Sumner, upon being told of it, said:
"That settles the question in Pennsylva
nip; it goes for Greeley, sure."
THE ENTERPRISE RAILROAD.-During
the past week, the Enterprise Railroad
Company have made some progress in
the work of repairing the damage done
by them to oor Btreets. The oobble
stones have been relaid in East Bay to
Broad Btreet, and in Meeting street, on
the West track, from John to Mary.
The East track in Meeting street has
not boen touohed as yet. The repaving
in East Bay does not appear to be as
good as the original, bat that in Meeting
street is quite as good if not better.
[Charleston News.
Horace Greeley, unlike most other
candidates, commits no mistakes in the
oanvass. He has written two letters in
response to the two nominations he has
reoeived for the Presidency, and both of
them are judioious, statesman-like and
to the point. There is not a line or a
word in either that any real friend of
reform, be he Democrat or Liberal,
would have recalled.
The Nashville Union and American is
puzzled over a "peace" polioy whioh
sends the soldier "to the peaoeful South
and the Quaker to the murderous Sioux,
Apaches and Kiowas."
Since Greeley fans have made their
appearance in Nbrfolk, Va., the girls
now say instead of "Ohawies, fan thine
own," "Augustas, dear, please Greeley
me."
RADICAL RIOTS IN GEORGETOWN.- Tho
Georgetown Times describes s disgrace
fnl riot in that town. On Friday night,
some scound.-el tried to set fire to the
place with a turpentine barrel, but failed.
On Saturday, a tar barrel was fired near
George Holland's house. This was put
out without the aid of the fire compa?
nies, which were promptly OD the
ground. They were dismissed by the
chief of the fire department, and ordered
by bim to their quarters. The Heston
Company did not obey the orders of the
chief, bot went abont the town, stopping
where liquor could be had, and imbibing
very freeley. The reBult was that night
was made hideous by the drunken
screams of an intoxicated mob, whose
foul, obscene and ribald language would
have disgraced .the neighborhood of the
Tombs. Shortly after they had repaired
to the house of Hon. W. H. Jones, Jr.,
n>miually the second, but really , the
first, officer in command of the company,
the cry of fire waa raised almost simul?
taneously in a dozen different parts of
the town, and one of ita members was
found rushing to the market to ring the
alaim bell. We leave the public to con?
jecture who were the guilty parties who
set fire to the school-house of Mrs.
Small, which was the bnilding on fire.
The alarm called together the Heston,
the Star and the Salamander Hook and
Ladder Companies. It seems that there
is some bad blood between the two first
named companies, and the scene, pre?
sented at 1 o'clock on Sunday, morning
last at the place of fire wpuld seem to
justify the belief that there was not only
bad blood between the, companies, but
an utter disregard of the interests of tho
community. Instead of employing them-.
selves in putting ont. the fire, the 'two
oompanies amused themselves in ? a free
fight, in which one was badly beaten,
another stabbed. and. others . bruised.
In thia time, Representative Jones, a
magistrate sworn to -keep the peace, in?
stead of using his influence and exercis?
ing; the powers which the law conferred
on him, was the most conspicuous figuro
in the group, with coat off and revolver
in hand, encouraging in, coarse, vulgar
and indecent language; a continued vio?
lation of law and good order.
LYNCH LAW.-Some 400 citizens of
Brainard, Minn., on Tuesday night, con?
cluded to take upon themselves the task
of avenging the death ot Miss Mc Arthur,
who was recently violated and murdered
by two Indians near that place. Pro?
ceeding to the jail where the murderers
were confined, they broke' in the doora,
took the Indians put, and hung them on
a tree in the principal business street in
the town. Nearly tho entire population
witnessed the tragedy.
The Cleveland Plaindealer says: "We
have the Radicals on the runl The
honest Republicana aro deserting their,
ranks by more than platoons; they are
coming over to. us by the regiment !
Never has the country witnessed such a
furore for any man for President as that,
now exhibited for Greeley, the old phi?
losopher, who wants a true and lasting
peace between sections estranged by a
bloody civil strife."
A Westport dog went for a oirous ele?
phant in the street the other day. An
eye witness saya that dog in abont one
minute was spread out over several
yards of ground about the thickness of
sheet iron.
At a negro party in Colbert County,
Alabama, two dusky rivals got op a row.
One lies in jail, the1 other in bis grave.
