Chicago Clly Clab. Pursuant to previous notico, a meetof the leading .Republicans of the iity was held at tho Recorder's Court room on Saturday evening, for the purpose of forming a political club, having for its purpose the nomination of General Grant for President.

Genoral T. 0. Osborne was, on motion, chosen Chairman, and Jlcrman ..Busier, Secretary,

On taking the ehair General Os?borne spoke as follows Tho purpose of this meeting is too popular to need any apology or expla nation. Tho formation of a Grant

Club, hero in Chicago, will be but a Blight token of the universal sentiment of confidence which all of our citizens havo in tho integrity and honor of the man, and faint expression of their ^earnest desiro that tho same steady hand and indomitable will that triumphantly upheld our banner through the storm and shock of battle may direct and guide the helm of the Ship of

State until tho political shoals and reefs that threaten danger on every side are safely past.

Peculiarly identified with Illinois— by the old home at Galena—the desk in the office of tho Adjutant General at Springfield—that first commission in tho volunteer service, bearing the signature of Bichard Yates, Governor, and bj* the old 21st Illinois volunteet infantry which he so well commanded and led to the field at the commcncoinent of tho war. As one of her own children, and one of the best and bravest of her chosen champions in the oauso of freedom, Grant has an unalterable hold upon tho pride and affections of the people of .Illinois.

Yet, wLilo wo refer with special and local interest and attachment to the illustrious record of the great chief tain, we know that from tho time of his advent into the army, the name and fame of Grant became histrionic and national.

To-night, thousands of living witnesses of his valor and fortitude attest his worth and rehearso tale3 of his horoic services and devotion to his country's causd in every city and village of tho land.

Tho boys of blue, his comrades on many ft toilsome march, on many a bloody battlo-ficld, have made his numc"as dear as it is familiar to all the American people. Tho graves of our dead soldiers are honored and adorned liy victories that will ever be associ utcd with tho memory of Ulysses S. Grant.

In a, remarkable manner his fame and daring aro inseparably connected with thoso very events of the war that heve awakened the profoundest interest and produced tho most indelible impression upon the country and tho world.

When at his summons on the bloodstained parapets of Fort Donelson the "unconditional surrender" of a rebel Lost made glad the heart of every patriot, his name was mingled with the praise and tharksgiving that tho joyful tidings everywhere evoked. All tho dark days that followed after co'd not obliterate tho assured Hope uf final triumph that animated every loyal heart when Donelson capitulated.

Four years later, this early promise of successful leadership was fully redeemed, when tho victorious legions under his command shouted over the fall of .Richmond, and proclaimed the surrender of L/ec at tho Appamattox, And then again tho namo of Grant— that word that inspired hope at Donelson—became forever identified with the grand fulfillment of all that the nation had struggled for dining four yeais of tcrriblo civil discord and awful warfare.

Both West and East, his campaigns •were successes—his marches triumphal ones. Vicksburg and Richmond alike felt tho forco of his conquering army. The first leader to win great ••battle in behalf of the Republic—his, too, was tho glory enter the rebel capital as conqueror.

Through all tho manifold and fearful experience attendant upon tho re bollion, Giant was emphatically a true type of the courage, constaucy and patriotism of the Republic.

Recently called to fill a new and "responsible position as Secretary of War, ho has adopted a courso of action \vhich will moet with a grateful response from the peoplo. 'I he economical reform ho has inaugurated wUl

V.ave

millions to the Treasury.

'man of to-day possesses elements of character better adapted to tho making of as wise a President, or as firm *,n Executive. Singularly modest, uversotovain display, and with scarcely any personal ambition, his elevation to the Presidency would nevet alienate him from the great mass of the people— tho men who fought by his side. .avcd the nation, and won under his "guidance the victories that have made him and the country famous.

Firm as a rock, and yet neither ob ntinato or tyrannical, his ear would over bo open to wise counsels and onco resolved on action, ho would be prompt and decisive.

Practical in all things, ho would "neither seek to dazzle tho nation with plausible theories, improbable of realization, nor would ho cumber the pathway of true progress with useless doubts and foolish prejudices.

Endowed with the golden gift of silence, his speech would bo action, and such action as would most nobly crown find hallow the illustrious deed? of patriotism which havo already made him tho idol of tho American people,

To make him President would be no elevation. For ono round year the destiny of tho nation hung upon his command. We trusted him then—we can trust him again.

FOR PRESIDENT,

«U.V.

GR.IJVT,

of Illinois.

Fon VICE PRESIDENT,

GE.V. o. o. MSO of Maine. Subject to the decision of a National

Convention.

Vox I'opuli.

With tho exception of Lee's surrender, and the downfall of the Southern Confederacy, no events have happenod that secnacd to cast so profound a gloom over tho countenances of the Copperhead Democracy, as the spontaneous expression of the loyal people of this country in favor of the nomination of General

GRANT

as a can

didate for the Presidency. IIis name is a "tower of strength," and his popularity unbounded. Ho in the coming man. In every situation in which he has been placed, ho has given evidence of his capacity, and his desire to act for the general good. It is a singular fact that the only member of Johnson's cabinet, who fully sympathizes with tho principles of tho Republican parly, has adopted a system of retrenchment. General Grant, Acting Secrotary of War, has reduced the expenditures of his department thirty millions of dollars a year, and still contemplates further economical meas urea. The peoplo appreciate tho wisdom of such measures of economy, and naturally look to tho author as the man who is calculated to redeem tho Government from tho corruption and degradation into which it has been

merged by Andrew Johnson and his copperhead Democratic allies.

Fiorn the time Andrew Johnson betrayed the trust reposed in him by the Republican party, and surrounded himself with rebels and copperheads, the country has been in a constant state of anarchy and confusion. FTonett men wero thrust from office, be cause they believed treason a erimo. and traitors ought to be n.ade odious, and their places filled with Democrats who had sympathized with rebellion, and aided and abetted those who were fighting to overthrow tho Government and destroy our fair fabric of freedom. Tho Democracy having ob tained control of Johnson have been running the Government in a manner to subserve their own aggrandizement, and by plundering the treasury and robbing the revenue, in the way of whisky and tobacco frauds, have stolen from tho people hundreds of millions of dollars. They steal ihe public treasure by wholesale, and then cry out "nigger equality" to covor up their crimes. They are exerting all their powers to cripple the Government, re tard its ptosperity, and to ruin and bankrupt tho peoplo for the purpose making political capital, but the mas ses discern their shallow devices, and will cause thoir dishonesty and corruption to recoil on their own guilty heads. Johnson, in his message to Congress says: "It is well and publicly known that enormous frauds havo been perpetrated on the Treasury, and that colossal fortunes have been made at the pullic expense." "Who is re. sponsible for this state of affairs, but his Accidency, who has appointed unprincipled and knavish Democrats to collect the revenue. And when it happens that they aro detected in their thieving operations, tried, condemned and sentencod to prison for their crimes, what does Johnson do but pardon them and reappoint them to some other position where they may renew their depredations on the revenue. Such is tho conduct of tho Executive, who is administering the Government with the aid of his Democratic friends on Democratic principles. Tho "noble

President," as our noighbor of the Review was wont to stylo him in his efforts to break down the Republican party, has only brought disgrace on himself and obloquy on tho copporhead Democracy. The cops aro welcomo to him. In view of the extensive system of swindling the Government by Andrew, and his corrupt and profligate Democratic co-laborers, iL is no wonder tho pooplo are looking to Gen. Grant as their political Moses to lead them out of worse than Egyptian bondage, and restore the country to its former unity and prosperity.

It will be a happy day for an oppressed and misgoverned peoplo when they are relieved'of Andrew Johnson and hie Democratic co-workers in in iquity, and tho Government is placed under the control of tho sagacious and patriotic Grant.

A New Financial Scheme. Senator Sherman has prepared a financial bill, which ho will offer this week. This is intended to cover the wholo ground of bonds and currency. It provides for a six per cent, bond, to run thirty years, principal apd interest payablo in coin, at tho pleasure of tho Government after ten years. Of the interest, 5 per cent is to bo paid the holder, and 1 per cent retained in lieu of National and Stato taxos. The half of tho 1 per cent, is to bo paid to tho State in proportion to population,! and the other half to create a sinking fund for the payment of the principal of the loan. The holders of legal tender notes are to have the right to convert them into these bonds, and afterward convert the bonds into legal tender notes, as currency mav be reended. Holders of five twenties, I after the expiration of the first live years, are to be required to exchange for tho new bonds under penalty of having interest stopped. This measure, it is believed, will deprive the Secretary of tho Treasury of very nearly all discretionary power, and,

with some amendments, putting a limit to tho balances carried in the treasury, it is believed it will give general satisfaction to tho members of both Houses. I'ho provision permitting the conversion of the bonds into greenbacks witl satisfy the expansionists, who are largely in the majority in the House. Butler's plan has but few friends in the Senate.

motion of eprcsentativeBlaine, of Maino, the Committee on Banking and Currency was instructed to inquire into the expediency of so changing the laws in respect to taxation and National Bank tax, as to permit all tho stock owned in the State where banks are located, to bo assses&ed and paid in the city or town where the stockholder resides,

RKI'ISKSKNTATIVK SCIIKNCK,

He i.rgues strongly in favor of the National Banking system, and says tho worst results would flow from

unfriendly legislation.

in answer

to a question, stated lIt at the Committee of Ways and Means had not yet had lime to consider but. one great question of finance, namely, the cotton tax, and on that it was prepared to report. Tho committee is hard at work on other questions, and will report at an early day on the subject of contraction of the currency.

Tho report of the Secretary of tho Treasury contains nothing specially new. lie favors continued contraction of the currency, and thinks specie payments may be resumed in January or July, 18G9, if nothing happens but nothing is to bo gained by forced resumption. Tho country roust be pre pared for it. lie thinks his policy of contraction has given a great impetus to industry. This last item will be news to the public.

until two oioek.

The Presidents message has come to hand, but too iate fur comment. It is Lut the reflex of d«. niocratic senti

The House of Representatives hns adopted two resolutions which indicate a fixed determination in that body squander no money for unnecessary objects. Tho first declares that, in the judgment of the House, it is unnecessary to proceed further at present with building and equipping ships of war. The country will coincide with the views expressed bv the House of Representatives on this point. Wo have already a larger navy than wo have any use for in peace, and there is not tho most remoto probability that we shall bo embroiled in war with anj' great naval power, unless wo wantonly seek such a war. Besides, in this age of inventions, there is no certainty that a vessel built in the most approved stylo of naval architecture this year, will not be rendered worthless the next, by the invention of new, devices for giving greater power of resistance or oft'ense, as the immense wooden fleet of England has already been placed hors de combat by the introduction of iron-clad steamers.

Instead of increasing our navy at this time, we believe It should be reduced.

The other resolution to which we have referred, was offered by Mr. Washburno, of Wisconsin, and de elares that in the present financial condition of the country, the further purchase of territory is inexpedient, and that the House of Representatives will hold itself

under

no obligations to

vote money to pay for 'any such purchase, unless there should be greater necessity for the same than now exists.

This resolution was intended to forestall Mr. Seward's pending negotiations for the purchase of tho small, and to us unimportant, West Indian Islands belonging to Denmark and tho strong vote by which tho resolution was adopted, 93 to 43, will probably prove a quietus upon the proposed purchase. We have just as little U3e for those islands as we nave for the ice fields and fog banks for which we aro to pay Russia $7,200,000 in gold, but if they could bo of any real benefit to us this is not the time

to buy them. Sound policy, as well as justice to our creditors 'and to our people, who pay taxes to support tho Government, demand that ever}' dollar not required for necessary public expenditures shall bo applied to the re duction of the national debt. When that is brought within more reasonable dimensions when taxation is lighter and the country more prosperous, it will bo time enough to squander millions in buying specks of rocks in tho Carribbean Sea, whose staple productions are cactus and hurricanes. It may bo tho "manifest destiny" of this Republic to absorb tho continent and all tho islands of tho sea within a thousand miles thereof, but there is no need of forcing this destiny by buying out, at exorbitant rates, the supposed claims of tho petty dynasties of Europe. Let manifest destiny work itself out thout this expensive forcing process.—Jnd. Jour.

Kidnapped by Indians. Some time in tho spring of the year 1815 Samuel Cecil, residing on Station Camp creek, then thought to be in Wayne county, Kentuck}*, but now Tennessee, was absent in the mountains. His wife, being out of meal, started to a neighbor's to borrow some, but first securing and closely barring the door, leaving three young children in the house, the oldest a girl and the two younger boys, for safety during her absence. She took two of the eldest children to help her carry tho meal and bear her company.— Shortly after her departure her husband returned, unbarred tho door, and being warm and fatigued, laid down and went to sleep. Tho three young children getting at liberty, pursued tho tracks of their mother. She shortly returned, found her husband at homo fast asleep, and tho children missing.

Sho awoko her

husband and informed him of the circumstances. They immediately pursued the track of the children, following them to the crossing of Station C.imp Crock, but could make no discovery. Tho neighbors in this thinly settled part of tho country being informed of tho circumstances, united in the search for nights and days the waters, eddies and drifts, the mountains, cliffs and valloys, were all explored and searched in by tho mother, father and neighbors, but all in vain. The bereaved parents were almost inconsolable. At one time they thought the children, in attempting to cross the stream, were drowned and had drifted then that some ravenous beast had devoured them at another timo that they hud perished with hunger, cold and thirst, or that some wicked person, or perhaps some skulking Indians, might havo stolon or kidnapped them—but all was mystery and uncertainty with the grieving parents.

Timo passed and other children were added to the household, anil the sorrowing parents became somewhat reconciled to their affliction. I iftcen years had now rolled'by, when one day a young man apparently about ninotoi-n years of ago, knocked at Mr. Cecil's door and announced himself as the oldest boy of tho three lort children. Imagino to yourself how lost in astonishment and anxious feelings were the paronta when he related the circumstances of his abduction, and with what eager ear they listened to hear of the other two. hen kidnapped lie was on!}* four years old all he knew was that seven of the Cherokee Indians came across them, and took him, his sister and brother, and bore them off that tho }'(»ungest brother, unable, to bear the fatigue, and from the want of milk or proper food, perished on the road that they were taken to the Indian country, then carried to the Arkansas, beyond the Mississippi. From his sister Jie learned his name and something of the country from whence they were taken, and by inquiries had been, enabled to reach his father's house. His sister was living and was married to a Spaniard, a great distance off.

Picrceton, ten miles east of I'ort Wayne, on Friday, a negro man committed an outrage on a Mrs. Bilker, tho wife of a highly respectable citizen, by threatening her life with a revolver if sho resisted. The negro then mado his escape, but was taken by the frenzied citizens, brought back, operated upon surgically, a rope tied around his neck, dragged through the streets, subsequently riddled with bullets, and his remains left lying in the streets all night. Public opinion almost unanimously justifies this horrible punishment for an infamous crime.

At Frankfort Ky., Union soldiers havo been roplacetl by rebels in the State quartermaster general's department. The chief of the department is a rebel soldier also.

Ono Wigging was recently hung in London, for the murder of his mistress, ho all the while protesting his innocenco and insisting at the woman committed suicide. New facta make it probable that poor Wiggins wtiH judicially murdered, simply because ho had not euough money to pay counsel and hunt up witnesses. One can now understand why the unfortunate man fought his executioners upon the scaffold and died struggling and shrieking.

SINGER SEWING MACHINES. New York State Fair.

The State Fair just closed (at BufTalo) was an unexampled success in nearly every department. The interest which usually centers upon sewing mnehines was not wanting. It was intensified, doubtless, by the angry (and not altogether reputable) dispute which has arisen over tho "medals" said to have been awarded at the Paris Exposition. But these medals counted for nothing here, for the judges insisted upon a thorougn examination for themselves of the several machines in competition, and the result was unanimous report niwarding the highest prize to ihe exhibitors of the "Singer" for tho best family sewing machine also for the best manufacturing machine, an

al3o

for th& best button-hole machine.

A clean sweep and a righteous judgement say thoso who are best informed. It was suggested by many who saw the magni')cent display made of these maeliincs, and the variety and admirable quality of tbe Vorlt they performed, that the manufacturers were remiss in not sending them to tho Paris Exposition, and thus have obviated the bitter controversy being carried on over tho gold medal. But the Singer Manufacturing Company, whose sales of machines for tho past year havo exceeded forty-threo thousand (some thousands more than any other company in the world) care niore for tho "people's verdict," we apprehend, than for all the gold medals that were or could have been awarded at Patis. Tho Exhibition at Buffalo, to which we have alluded, was mado by the enterprising agents of the Singer machines in Utica.— Utictt Daily IfcrolUf Oct. 9.
