1870.

. WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 29. -WITH SUPPLEMENT f. Grant is a great soldier. Are we to receive him as such? Grant was a poor president. Are we to honor him for that? . Lord Cokkwallis, who surrendered to General Washington at Yorktown, has bat one surviving relative living Lady Halemes-dale.

Ejwmsk papers are endeavoring to keep mechanics from coming to the United States by telling them that they will have to work 15 hours a day. Tub Journal is in favor of the Importation of Southern negroes to make the North "solid." How do the laboring classes of Indiana relish the scheme? Talk agb says there are no clocks in Heaven, but he finds " there are several timekeepers in Brooklyn that report the exact time when the synod meets to try him for lying. Sawobl J.

A mail robber was arrested, and confessed, but said be was drunk when he stole the letters, whereupon the jury brought in a verdict of "not guilty." Tub Jews of Kurope are to hold a conference for the purpose of considering the propriety of adopting the Christian Sunday and of abolishing the Hebrew Sabbath.

Not by a long shot. . Indiana has bad enough of Republicanism to last her as long as the exists. As an evidence that the South contemplates war upon tbe North, and is seeking to overturn the constitution and violate the amendments, it is stated that the number of small cotton factories is increasing rapidly, especially in Georgia and South Carolina. It has been found that colored boys and girls arelqnite dexterous at the spindle, and that where the little mills are located there is much more peace and order than in hamlets where there is no industrial attraction for the idle. ' Wars H. IiAmos.-, the biographer of Abraham Lincoln, tells the story that from his boyhood Lincoln had a presentiment and firm belief that he should be president of the United States. He also had a presentiment that he should die a violent death. What is atill more singular, bjs wife, from the first, entertained the same belief that he would be president of the United States. She said, "He's going to be president and that's the reason I married him, for you know he isn't pretty." The summer pork-packing season is now and the number ot hogs packed is larger than for any previous season.

The increase in the cotton, rice, sugar and tobacco, crop has been perfectly wonderful. It is worthy of note that this magnificent , result was not reached with the Radical carpet-bag governments forced upon the , South, under the manipulations and rascal- - ities of Republicans. It came after the Democratic party had routed Republican ism and driven it disgracefully - from every Southern State. With such a record as . Republicanism made south ot Mason and ' Dixon's line, is it possible that a solitary ;; State anywhere in this broad land wants any more of it r I Ut leaks out at last that Government officials are tbe pals of tbe Southern moonshin err, and have been helping to swindle the - Government out lot " the whisky tax. These facta are now well established, . and In view of the fact that John Shermu got out moonhine documents for the special purpose .of firing the Northern heart, the developments are well calculated to tone down the Republican " boom considerably. Tbe campaign moonshine documents were deigned to show that the Southern mountains are full of rebel moonshiners, who are seeking to overthrow the Government by distilling illicit whisky. "Had the officers who furnish . the data upon which John Sherman manufactures his campaign thunder," says an exchange, "searched as carefully at the West, or even in New York City and Philadelphia in tbe same space of time, they might hays found as much contraband whisky as they discovered in Virginia and North Carolina. The wild mountain regions ot the Sau'.h offer special facilities for this illicit business, and it may be conducted there more generally than in some other ' parts of ' tne country. . But the moonshiners are not rebels, and , their furtive operations are not treasonable. -At the worst, they are only committing frauds on the ' revenue such as bold and 'unscrupulous men everywhere are ready to commit, , especially when, as at the South, they have Government officers as confederates and ' protectors: It now turns out lhanks to the honest and blundering zeal of certain invest-

lgators in Gaston county.N. C. -that revenue agents themselves are at the bottom cf some of the very frauds which have been exposed in Mr. Sherman's t csmpaign' tracts and circulars as the sole and peculiar work of the South. , We are infornitd not of the nature of these frauds, but only that they are 'gross' and 'carried on by registered grain distillers in collation with Government officers.' " It would be interesting to know if the mconshining officials divided with Sherman if tbe arrangement was llxe that with the First Xatiooal bank of New York, and how much they ' contributed 1 to the corruption fund necessary to carry Ohio. But these things are past finding out; and tbe fact that Sherman's officials are the pals of the moonshiners must euilice for the present.

THE NECESSITY FOB GRANT. There are - few well-informed people Democrats, Republicans or Independents who do not concede that tbe drift of Republican sentiment is toward Grant as a third term candidate in 18X0. We do not think tbe field is clear for him, for Blaine and Sherman have aspirations which tbey will not consent to abandon until they are convinced, however much against their will, that the Grant boom is the biggest. Under such circum stances, it may be well for Democrats and those who desire to live under a constitutional government, to note with more than ordinary care tbe reasons assigned by the Republicans why Grant should again be president. To do this thoroughly, it is not necessary to read all that is said of the necessities of the situation by Republican conspirators or their organs, since they all urge the same reasons,nd use about the same language to express their views. The Cincinnati Gazette, in a recent article "concerning Grant as Candida's," considers the necessities cf the case at some length, the conclusion being that the supremacy of the Democratic party is dangerous to Republican government so dangerous, Indeed, as to require a "distinguished soldier" for president. That the Democratic party is dangerous tollepublican government, the course of the Democratic party in Con gr sea is brought forward as proof. "It sought, "says the Gazette, "by a lawless abuse of its lawful powers to usurp control of Congress," which is pronounced "revolution." Again the Democratic majority, it la charged, intend '"to put out Republican members, enough to make a Democratic majority, and means also to reject a legally elected member from Florida, and to put a Democrat into the seat of Mr. Orth, of Indiana, so as to make a Democratic balance in the delegations of these States for action in case the election of president shall come upon the House." It will occur to the general reader that the organs of the conspirators find it difficult to make out charges against the Democratic party worthy of consideration. It is not so much what tbe party has done inimical to republican government as what it intends to do, it an opportunity is afforded. In confirmation of this tbe Gazstle says: If the Improbable event i-hould have happened that Ewing should have been elected, thereby risking the election of a Republican representative in his place, which would have made tbe Ohio delegation a tie, we could have been certain that tbe Democrats would have taken the lawleN method of declaring vacant the seats of Btitterworth and Yonng. The Democrats In the Senate are also looking about for ways to make their majority secure, by ousting Republicans. UM of tne designs of all this is to uourp, by Illegal means, tbe power to elect a president and vice president. In case these elections shall devolve on the House and Senate respectively. It de signs an aot of violence to take the Uovern ment from those the people have constitution ally chosen. It i-s revolutionary. This la an other of the places in the structure of onr Government where its working comes to a point where usurpation may seize it, and the con stitution be overthrown under its own forms. It would be difficult to properly character ize such puerile twaddle, but it is what tbe Grant boom rests upon, with more of the same sort, and without which it would col lapse in an hour. Tbe Gazette intimates that there will be no more electoral commis. sions to give legal form to fraud, and it might have added that returning boards will never again reverse the vote ot States. The Gazjtte, in surveying the entire field, puts its conclusions as follows: AH tbe Democratic movements, therefore. point to the seizure of the presidency in defiance of law, and of the people's rights. This la a threat of revolution. It holds up before the whole people a declaration that next time a Democrat shall be seated, whether elected or not. And It has the glaring present fact that there is do such thing as an election in the Confederate States. It 1h a threat that any election of a Republican Khali be disputed. and that the Democratic Honse will judge any disputed election Democratic, and that the Democratic claimant shall be seated. This means revolnUonarynsnrpation, and usurpa tion means war, for the Northern people will never snbmlt to this. Tbe Gazstte article, from which we qnote, abounds with more of such insipid trash but we have given a fair cample of the whole; and now comes the climax there Is war in the near future. The Democratic party Is going to tear down the pillars of the Republic Usurpation will follow usurpe tion until Republican government will dis appear. It says: When war is thus threatened is it not natural that the people should look about for a leader for sneh a crisis? True, it may be eon Bdently a(Hrmci tha? any' Jtepubilfeij w should bi elected wonW fcBUn .nad that the Northern people would stand by him, as they did by the Union in the attempt of secession; but It Is natural that when the Bonth and the whole Damocratlc party threaten war, and a war which, if not nipped early, would spread to the same dimensions as the late civil war, the people should look to a leader who has been successful in war, and whose name wonld call out a great army of veteran volunteers to maintain tbe constitution. These, as we gather from the expressions with regard to the candidacy of UeneralGrant, are the Ideas that make so many look to him as the loan for the crisis. When a great section and party openly threaten the forcible seizure of the Republic, and tbe determination to support It by arms, what is more natural than the people who are loyal to Republican Government should look to a distinguished soldier for a leader? When the same enemy litis np bis head and threatens to strike again, what so natural as that the people should look for a leader to the great soldier who led them to victory? It is the Democratic threat of war that makes the Northern people talk of a soldier candidate. They are repeating their former blunder of thinking that tbe people of

the North will not stand np for constitutional government, una flgnt for It. They are repeating their blunder or supposing that when they shall lay violent hands on the Republic the Confederate ragtag and bobtail Democracy in the North wUl prevent the" uprising of the people. Ho re we have the sory all told. Grant to be made president for war purposes. He is to be elected as a menace to the Democratic party. He is a 3 -eat soldier, and knows how to handle armies; and now, in a time of profound peace, when all States are performing all cf their constitutional obligations, we are told that a "soldier candidate" is required to crush the Democratic party. Tbe subject is worthy of consideration, and particularly in Indiana, where Grant is soon to appear to

work np his boom, and where it is expected that distinguished Democrats will join in for the purpose ot adding eclat to tbe occasion The Democratic party, since it came into power, has studiously sought to enact such laws and pursue such a policy as would bring about economy and reform in financial a Hairs. It has sought to repeal such laws as abridged the rights cf tbe people and subjected them to military despotism and the outrageous interference of deputy marshals. It has sought to bring about conciliation between North andSouth, and now we are told that Grant mnst be made president because a great soldier is necetsary to protect the Government against the usurping and overthrowing designs ot the Democratic party. Upen this theory the Grant boom is manufactured, and Democrats should understand the situation. WOMANS' EMPIRE. We are Inclined to the opinion that wo men have bad, in days gone uy, many reasons for complaining. Their wrongs were numerous; their acknowledged rights fewMen were monarcbs; women subjects often slaves. Such is the case now in some coun tries. But as the sun of Christian civiliza tion rises the right asserts its sway. Man bows to its emci and woman, released from bondage is recognized. The tables are turned; man no longer supreme. Kither no longer waits for Ahasuerue to hold out the golden scepter, but she walks in. a queen in her own right, with her own scepter, and holds audience with whom she will; issues her commands, and the world obeys. Her empire is established. She rules. But, strange to say, in too many instances women mistake tbe boundary lines ot their empire. They forget that it is their home, and hence we are continually .hearing of women's congresses, in which, as in conven tions of tbe great powers of Knrope, new lines are sought to be drawn and additions made to the dominions of tbe strong, at he expense ot tbe weak. The women who are conspicuous in such congresses and engage in such discussions are unmind ful ot their queenly prerogative s at- home. They are aggressive when they should be passive asking for more when they have their full share of power. Tbey seek to rule the State whenlhelr niisalon is to rule tbeir homes. They ask for the homage of the populace when they should desire only tbe fealty of husband, children and appreciative friends. They mistake the boundary lines ot their empire and encroach upon the dominions of the masculines. Tbey want to vote and to veto. It is a great calamity for women to make these mistakes. Society feels it. Homes lose their brightness. Songs are hushed. Children look wce-begone. and husbands wander in by and forbidden paths. There is anarchy in the empire love takes wings and tiles away, affinities affirm a new code, society sutlers, the masculine and feminine change places, ancels ween. Heaven is in mourning, the world tikes the back track, society is con .fused, homes are desolate, life's dreams become frightful nightmares, and thousands do not care a straw how soon Gabriel blows bis horn. It is unfortunate that this sab ject of woman's empire is not better under stood. It is home; a realm of beady; jurisdiction of love; a domain of felicities; the abode of happiness. It has crown jewels, diadems and chapleta more precious than were ever worn by tbe reigning and ruling dynasties of tha world. It will be well for women, for. society, for the world, if women find the exact boundary lines of their empire, and seek only to sway their scepters over tbeir rightful subjects. It will hasten the millenial dawn; make earth more like Heaven. Homes will be like Klen before the devil practiced the apple deception; men will be less restless and women more beautiful. Home- is woman's empire. The best thing tne Democrats ol Indianapolis ran do is to take oif their coat?, roll up their sleeves, and go in to make tbe tiraut demonstration creditable to the Ptate. The movement Is non partisan, unlena tbe Democrats make It otherwise by refusing to cooperate. If they do tnia the Democratic soldiers will go in for their old commander all the hotter. The Democrats bad better step to the front and take a leading part, a tbey aie doing in Chicago, and then was it purely a non-partisan boom. Journal. r It would be difficult to find anything more brazenly Impudent .than the Journal's attempt to intimidate Indiana Democrats. The chief (?) of the Journal, not long since, in an interview somewhere In Northern Illinois, boldly stated that Indiana Republicans were for Grant for a third ; term, and emphasized the opinion by telling his interviewer "not to forget it." It is well- , Vnown that Republican conspirators waqt j Grahi lor president, thai tlief may riot again in fraud and corruption, though quite willing, for the purpose ot helping on hia boom', to assume that the Democratic party is even now plotting for the overthrow of Republican government, and that, therefore, the country -needs a ureal , soldier in the otllce ot president to circumvent the treasonable schemes which Republican conspirator allege that the Democratic party is now concocting and perfecting. Is it upposable that, under such circumstances. Democrats . should take special interest in helping to magnify Grant's third term boom? If General Grant Is ont of politics;' if he is the great and good man his friends claim; if be he has had honors enough thrust npon him. and if his fame, which has circled around the world, satisfies his ambition f he re gards his fellow-oitfzens of all parties his friends, worthy of. his' distinguished regard, let him say so. -.bst tbe Grant presidential boom die out 1 Let it be known that he will not rgain be a candidate," though the Repub-

lican party offer him the bauble a thousand times. It be will do this, all men will be pleased to pay their respects. At any rate. Democrats are not to be intimidated or bulldozed into taking - a proujlnent Part . in ' helping on Grant's tlird term boom. 80 far the Indiana Republicans have sought to give Grant's receptions political significance. Congressman J. C. Burrows, ot Michigan, who has been making speeches in New York, and who is now in . Massachusetts, is for Blaine, while Zaca Chandler is fr Grant. Mr. Burrows, being Interviewed by a New York Tribune reporter, gave his views as follows .

" Is not Chandler a Gran t man ? "Very strongly so, I understand." "Then if he controls your delegation it will be turned over to Grant after a compliment ary vote for Chandler?" Probably that In, if Grant is a candidate. Bat the choice of the niasnes of the party 1 Michigan la Hlaice." It Grant Is not a candidate will the Chan dler Influence be thrown for Blaine?" "As to that I can't say. I don't know who is Senator Chandler's second choice." "What do you think of the Grant boom?" "It will culminate with Grant's reception at Chicago. We can't tell now how mnch of it has reference to hia fame as a noldler and to the honors paid him abroad, and how ranch signifies a desire to make him president a third time. 'After the Chicago reunion, followed, perhaps, by a few receptions in Eastern cities, tlx: enthusiasm of welcoming him back home will be over, and we shall tlteu know how much political purpose there is hehlnt these demonstrations. The Republican nomination next year is not going to be made wltn a whoop and a hurrah. Tno sober thought of the part will have all the winter and spring to oonsider carefully tbe question of a candidate and I believe it will control the convention." "Do you think lilane is growing tn popularity?" "Yes, very rapldiy. His rtwepUon lu all the Stales he has visited this fall proven that. He is murk stronger with the people how than in 17B. Another thing must Ira considered In estimating his prospects General Grant can do nothing to increase his popularity after the demonstrations welcoming him back are over; but Mr. Blaine Is lu the Senate, and' not a week will pass lrom December tilt the convention meets without an opportunity occurring for him to ay something that will arouse the popular heart," Here the fact is plainly staled that Grant's receptions are nothing but political wireworking. It is the Grant boom in opposition to tbe Blaine and Sherman booms, and this fact being established the recep tions are desizaed In their Influence to be purely par tiam. Democrats may well conaider the facts. GEN Kit AL NOTES. Tme income from the English crown last year was J2,030,ijli). TnK Sandy Hook llght-hoase was lighted for the tlrst time in May, 17U:t.

What used to be tbe Ohio n ver does not deserve to be called more than a creek now. It Is so low that even the new marks put down some time ago will not register the amount of water. At tsteubenvlile it is so reduced that small boys roll up tneir pants and wade it, and throw stones from one aide to the other with ease. The official vote of Ohio shows a total of tfJK,rtt7. Piatt, the Greenback candidate, re celved only 9.129, and Stewart, the Temper ance candidate, received 4,143. Foster's major lty la only 3,8Si over all, bat his plurality over Kwlng is about 17,000 votes. Still Ewing received a larger vote than Tilden reselved In 1876. There was, after all, not much ol a Udal

The Cincinnati Gazette says that the colored people of the South are turning their at ten tion to Indiana. There is room in Ohio for a good many thousand. The colored people are not "turning their attention to Indiana." The Republican party have undertaken that little job for them. Why not send them -up to the manufacturing districts of Ohio, where the workmen were paid In gold a day or two be fore tbe late election? Mr. Thomas Maiisiiali., a Pennsylvania lawyer, lu the eourse of an argument, the other day, befote the supreme court of that State, expressed himself as follows: "I nave nothing to say against Juries. I rather like them. But I do not like tbe way they are made. Political bummers ol one party make Jurors of their friends end adaerenta, and political hammers of tlie other party do about the same. In hard limes juries become a sort of resort for paupers, and I should like to see a change." , The San Francisco Bulletin gives tbe follow ing as one of the results of tbe Grant boom: "I tell you what I'd like to see." mild a wellknown young aristocrat at tbe Palace Hotel yesterday; "I'd like to see Grant In for life, senators ehosen for life, and sons of both presidents and senators to succeed. We needn't call it a kingdom, but then we'd have a chance to have some of onr bent families recognized in Europe." The young man's father is worth a round million. The young man meant what he said. Success In Farming. A correspondent of tbe New England Farmer thinks it nntortnnate that eo many complaints of ill success In larming are continually published, and points ont that the extent to which it is conduc:ed on borrowed capital Is in must cases the secret of tbe difficulty. There is much sense in the following extract: "Readers of agricultural papers do not often find sucossful farmers relating their experience, and giving such details of the management of their business as would en courage others to persevere. And yet these are jnst the men we all want to hear from The croakers are too numerons and altogether too fond of blaming the business for tbeir non success. The trouble is in tbe men, not in the business. When I learn that only one farm in 25 Is paid for when bought, the wonder to me Is, not that so many fail, but tbat so many succeed. When Richard Roe buys John Doe's farm for $7 300. Days J.tXX) down and give a tnortgegs for $1500 at 8 per cent , expecting to make a livine for hinuelf and family, pay Air. Die 0 a month interest, and have a net 3 or 4 per cent, at the end of the year on $7,500, it brings no surprise to me tbat Mr. Roe finds such farming don't pay. What does the man own in fact? Just $3,000. That figure represents bis capital. There is no kind of business to found to day other than farming in which $-'i.000 can be made to yield any kind of a living to a family without drawing' on the principal. Anv gain in interest is not to be thought of. ' Those fax in rs who bad so little foresight as to buy mure land than they could handle are simply doing what numbers of men in other callings have done, and will do for all time, giving way to men who know how to handle money. That's tbe rub. Men undertake too much on too little capital, and inevitably fail. It is not for the general good that farmers of this class should parade their misfortunes at every opportunity, misleading public opinion on a matter that lies at tbe very base of cur national prosper lty. - Farming does pay, and pays well on the capital actually invested, with snch general intelligent management as would be necessary in any other business. There is no other business which offers as good security for tbe Investment; there is no other business which brings more contentment and lees wearying anxiety of mind. The man who owns his farm and has three or four per cent at the end of year on the paidtip capital, after supporting hia family. It actually in belterconditlon than nine-tenths Of the men in any other calling." Cattle Raising In Texas. As showing tbe cost and profit ot keeping cattle in Texas, the Henrietta journal 01 that SUte ssys: "Tbe cost of Keeping caiue per year is about $1.50 per head, or $1,500 per thousand. Four men with 12 to 1G bead ot horses will tend a herd of 1.500. The prnfl's are about as follows: Beeves per head, cost $15, running expenses, $1 50, sell at $22 with profit ol 33 per cent. 1 rout r cows costing $13 50 per head, cost of ke-ng $L50, or $15. Increase or calves. 5 per csut, worth $5 per head. et prrj 33 pr cent On a mixed herd the bee wiI1 pay expenses, -and tbe Incre,, wjh double itself in three years. A dxrount is made on a mixed herd cf 10 per c,nt for losses. Tbe fro tit on a mixed he:d isabont 20 per cent" t ssys there is a total of cattle in the FanHandle country of about 120.000 head, aod that It is fair to calculate that tha increase this year from tbe present herds will average not less than 50 per cent of the entire number. This will give 50.000 calves; the number that will stop this season from ths Texas drive will be about 30 000 head, and from Colorado about 20,000 bead. This will leave in the Fan Handle for the next year's round nps about 208,000 head, and yet this dors not begin to fill up the country, as it la estimated tnat It will hold 1,000,000 head. Tbe present average prices for mixed herds, per head, are: Texas stock, $13 50; domestic stock, $15; beeves alone, $22.
