Grant maintains a Kystom of profli? gate, expensive, depraved und viaious carpet-buggery at the South, to crush out the spirit of the people und despoil them of their substunce. Grant uses the revenue department to terrorize over tho South iu times of elec? tion. Grant employs the post oflice depart? ment to help perpetuate bis and his party's power. Graut, through his emissaries aud satraps of tbo varions departments and dependencies, bands tho negroes toge? ther in leagues and stirs up between the two races the bitterest political animosity. Grunt uses his Cabinet as a menus to re-elect himself, sending them out ou stumping expeditions in tiio States.

Grant reforms tho civil servico by re? taining men in office after their rascali? ties huve been proven-thieves aud shameless plunderers of tho publia Trea? sury.

J says: "This I shall do, not merely becausi was a member of the Convention tl nominated Greeley and BroWD, but obedience to a sonso of duty. Grant Greeley must bo President for the ni j four years. They are tho only eau dates before tho people who can bo p sented with the slightest prospect success, and every ni tempt to bring f ! ward a third candidate will result be ficially to thc caudidate of tho ri which has ulllicted the country for t lust four years.

They tell a oapital story illustrating the profound ignorance of the negroes in North Carolina, who constitute Grant's body guard there. It appears that thousands of the old plantation bauds tmvo uot the slightest idea of numbers. Thus, when a Democratic speaker WAS descanting upon the ho mired millions of dollars that bud been stolen from the people by the Grant administration and its carpet-bag Government in tbe South, a sharp partisan of Grunt, who knew to whom he WHB talking, replied thus: "My opponeuts talk of hundred? of millious of dollars being stolen in the last three or four years. Why, what is that! One Democrat official, in the days of Martin Van Buren, took not millions, but 8G0, OOO." The point was thought an excel? lent one, aud was followed by a round of cheers.

Instead of which the direct shipments from Hankow to the end of June, were less by 1,500,000 pounds than last year, and the Bama is true at Shanghai and Foochow. The amount afloat for Eu? rope from Hankow has been further re? duced by the wreck of the steamer Par? nassus, having on board over. 1,500,000 ponuds. A Mormon justice appears to have given some sort of order to the Mormon police to descend upon two houses of bad repute. The zealous policemeu went there with axes, aiid hewed the un? hallowed habitation in pieces befoie the justice. The act does not seem to have beeu regarded with enthusiasm among tbo Geutiles, and there ia talk of draw? ing.a practical parallel between Papbiuus and Patriarchs by organizing a similar descent upon the many-wived mansion of Brigham Young. The grateful colored man is still dis? tinguishing himself.
