A Father Marrica Xegro Wrncli, miS C niMi'ls Ziis Dasitliter to Marry a ISuclt Xt&;ro The Columbia City Post, of the 30th ultimo, gives the details of a horrible transaction which bus recently occurred in Whitley couuty. A man liy the name of David IL Long, of Smith township, in that eounty, married a negro wchch for his third wife, aud beat Iiis daughter by a former marriage, a girl of sixteen years of age, until he compelled her to marry a buck negro. The facts are thus detailed: A white nun by the name f David M. Long a Republican in good political standing with his p.irty, and who has beeu :i citizen of this place fur many years, has been successful in gulping down the last plank in the black and tan platform. i B i. .

The memory of the dead and the fair fame of the living havo been blackened by this uaoanied beast, by unitiug; himself to a negro wench in marriage. Knowing that he coold not procure a license in our county for such an alliance, he takes his mw c'-- material with him jo ; Michigan, where, by the lawi of that State, the twain were made one flesh. Twis iittle victory of republican rrinc: pies being won. he returned to fail family, with her to whom his little ones moat bjw, and whom they must call by that most endearing name, mother. Those children, who had often in their ronu recoiieeii in- ror tnc lovea 10 tne grave, amid blinding, tears, whi-ucred that sweet name in their prayers, now are com ended to ferset the treasures of the tomb. Before them atood tbe repulsive form of their father's wild choice. Her, to call mother! There was to much of forgctfnlneas toward the dead la this.

Bradley, negro, who was lately expelled from the Georgia Senate, addressed a Mongrel meeting in Savannah, on Monday Ut. He said CKft and other carpet-baggers and Yaukecs are not to be trusted, and advised the negroes not to trust the white people, especially the Yankees, who were the meunest people on earth. He doubted if even the mulattoes could be trusted, as the whito blood in j their veins might gain the mastery. He Faid the recent action of the Georgia Le isluture in turning out the negroes would increase the majority for Grant. At first ho thought thi negro members would draw revolvers and assert their rights in blood, which would have benefited the Democrats. Ho was glad they had doue otherwise. He thought the coming election, whichever way it went, would cause bloodshed. The whole speech was of a ram bling and contradictory character many hearers being doubtful which side the speaker supported. He spoke nearly the whole evening. About five hundred perBOM were present. The meeting pasted off quietly.

The Detraction Whine. A jacobin newspaper which has called Horatio Seymour "a villain at heart," and has also denounced him in tereas which should only be employed against men who

are most infamous and wicked, has recent- j ly published a lengthy and grave homily j on the tendency of the political partisan j press in this country to malign and vilify opposing political candidates, As an illustration of this tendency, the Treatment j of General Grant by the democratic press; is cited. The newspaper to which we have referred says and in this it but echoes a crencr-l complaint by the jacobin press that the democracy slander Grant, and endeavor to detract from his just fume. In making this charge, the jacobin newspaper does not tell the truth, The democratic press makes no charees against Grant which it cannot sustain by evidence furnished by j tcobia newspapers. In recard to Grant's notoriously intemperate habits, the testimony of prominent leaders and newspapers id the ruling party can be brought forward to sustain the charge that he is a confirmed iuebriate. What is meant by this statement is not merely to allege that Grant occasionally does get druok, but that he is the slave of whifaky. and i unter its influence daily- His iove i rf whisky, or bis stupidity aud ignorance of generalship, cost the lives of thousands of union soldiers at Belmont and Shiloh. These are facts, and the proof of them has i .-.j 3 i . BWB V"" J lViicrms aii'i democrats: ami now we are loiu ' that to state them is to '-detract from Grant's iust fame." Is a man of such habits fit to be president ? Does not a proper regard fur the interests of the coun try and for its reputation require that the facts in the case be fairly spread before the people ? As to (j rant's military career, and his record as a politician, in what has he been misrepresented ? The democratic press ha? charged that he never won a battle with equal forces. It has charged that I 1 . 3 A . T 1 i J CM M I. J BHWl mmi asm onuou pivw either DM incapacity as a general, or that he was so intoxicated that he could not Pcrform 1,is lutie8' In tbc last agStoat Richmond, the democratic press has charged that Graut made a terrible blunder in choosing the overland route. It has enlarged that Grant lot more men in the march from the Rapiden to the mcs than Lee had in his whole army. It is charged that urant only won that "P'" because recruits were sent to by tens of thousands, a fast as his army was uecimate.1 by Jee. This is all true. No man conversant with the facts ofthat campaign, and who retpectfl truth, will deny one of the chare above made. As to Grant's supcrioriO oi inrces, ana uic lerncie manner in wnieb bla armj was slaughtered in the I campaign again ,t ltichmond, his cruel and simple justice will approve the assertion 1 rutal remark concerning the su perior length of his ' cat's tail' is of itscll suflicient proof.

Tor what reason did he rcin ? What evidence eaa he furnish that he has siucc reformed. AY hen the war closed, ho was a democrat. Since then, he has been everything ;od all things from a fawning, supple "cwu mu mc n:ie io ue uestitutc ot po litical opinions and aspirations.

Thursday afternoon, a woman, wha gave her name as Jennette IJ.yd, attempted to commit suicide by drowning in the canal, at the foot of Auburn avenue. Her history is a sad one. A year or two ago she was comfortably married and had a considerable quantity of the world's goods. Her husband left her, sinco when her life has been a checkered one. Thursday morcin", according to hef story, the keeper of an intelligence office told her he had obtained for her a situation at the Falls and gave her what he called a "pass" on the cars. The conductor put her off the train at Black ltock, and she then determined to drown herself. She wrapped her shawl around her head to prevent any involuntary cries that she might make, and then jumped into the water. Two men Who happened to be near at hand succeeded in rescuing her. llvffalo Courier, Sejtt 5.

Pendleton's Anecdote. In his speech at Milwaukee Pendleton told the following anecdote : In 1305, after the surrender of the confederate troops, alter the war had been brought to a close, we had an Indian war in the west. I do not know whether you ever heard of it here in Wisconsin, and yet it cost you 835,000,000. A republican member of congress and I quote from republican authority, my friends a republicaa member of congre bad occasion to investigate that subject, and his report is published in the Congresssional Globe. He details some of the circumstances of thii war. He tells us how the money wap expended. He tells us that the death of each Indian cost the people of the United States $2,000,000. He tells us of the expedition of a certain va'iant colonel from his own state, I believe, who was burning ivith military ardor. He enlisted a thousand men. He obtained from the government of the United States a thousand horsen. He obtained excellent and abundant arms. He loaded

his ample train with commissary store which cost the government $b',000,000. He went upon his expedition; he returned; he made his report. He reported that he ha 1 lost all his horses ; thai he had lost all his wagons; that he had expended all his ammunition : and that he had eaten up S A all his prov'iaions; and that he had killed one Indian. Uproarious laughter and cheers. A rider who was employed by the Overland express company, whose soul was also fired with martial ardor, when he came into the settlement reported that the colonel lied under a mistake, I suppose for he himself killed that one Indian. The war between this express rider and the valient colonel waxed warm, until some hunters in the neighborhood came to hear of it, and brought tho contest to an untimely end by declaring he knew the Indian to be still alive. 4 Reseneraled Radical. Many of our readers, says the Erie Observer, will remember lion. F. E. Backus, of Cleveland, who made a speech full of fi-e and brimstone, against the democrati: party. Mr. . has renounced all his old heresies and come out a full fledged union Baa at la.st. He made a speech at the Seymour ard Blair ratification meeting in Cleveland, of which we give a few extracts to show its geural spirit. Fellow Citizens. Aye, fellow democrats. Tint has been a hard wrd for me to mouth. For a quarter of a certury I have been trained as a republican, and it comes hard for rue to designate myself as a democrat ; but when treason at the south has been crushed, and treason rises un at the north, after tbe flag has floated in triuDiph over rebellion J when, for the unholy purposes of the party in power, the union has been kept asunder the union that all fought for, only to have it prove an igmis fatut ; when one-third of that Union to-day is subject to a power, in time of peace, unrecognized by the constitution not to secure victory; not to render the triumph for all time, but for the selfish purpose of preserving in perpetuity the power ot a party unfit to wield it; when, all these years, that party has been laboring, not to hsal sectional wounds and the bitterness engendered by war, but to see by what assnmptJons of power they could prevent the south from coming back as democratic states, and thus keep in place the party that u rioting in spoils I say, when such conditiois have existed for three years, he that would stammer in pronouncing himself a democrat which party is the only one to which wo can look for succor from those woes is no man for the times. And I say to-night, what I never said before, that I stand here a democrat a democrat as defined in the platform of the New York con?2ntion. I am willing to fight under the banner of the democracy, and, God willing, we will achieve a victory Every day the columns of the radical press contain more aud more aocountu of southern outrages." A few of these outrages occur; and the remainder are either pure inventions, or are, as has been proved rehashes from the Tribuue Almanac. The object is to get an excuse to send more troops into the southern states, and to fire the northern heart. The radical leaders probably understand the calibre of their fcllowrs, when, in place of reasoning with them, they can secure their support only by this system of stale and atrocious lying. Printers. The following men were printers : Earl of Stanhope, Prince Fredcrick married to the Princess Royal of England, William Caxton, one of the fathers of literaturo ; Horace Grceloy, George D. Prentice, Charles Dicke e, M. Thiers, Douglas Jerrold, Bayard Taylor, George P. Morris. J. Gales, C. Richardson, N. P.

Grant's Unfortunate Habits.

All the exposuresjwhich have beeu made Columbus was the son of a weaver, and to the public of General Grant's habits a weaver himself, originated in radical journals. All demo- j Homer was the son of a farmer, crats have done was to copy what such , Demosthenes was the son of a cutler, journals have siid, and so far as we know Oliver Cromwell was the son ol a Loiinothing has been said about this matter don brewer, which did not originate with the radicals!

hurtful indulgence in intoxicating liquors and wines have been literally sustained by fixed facts. He has been repeotedly seen and noticed in a halt intoxicated condition in the street ears and on the avenue. But on Sunday last the thing reached its culmination. About 10 o'clock in the morning he was staggering about the lower part of the city, aud about five in the evening was seen by hundreds as they were coming out of St. Mathews church at the west end. He wav accompanied as was supposed by the lookers on, by General Dent, his brother-in-law. Gen. Grant was in so bad a way that he could lur-lly keep his legs in trying to make headway. Theodore Tilton, editor of the Now York Independent, was in Washington at the time, and wrote as follows to his paper ; General Grant was seen drunk in the Rtreets of Washington on Sundav afternoon, and I personally know it. The editor of the fjenver Gazette, who was in Grant's command at Dooalson, gives the following illustration or his tanning operations : Wo were at Oonalson, and Vsnow that the only tauniog he iodulizcd in it place during tha battle was the tanning of h'13 inner hide with whisky. He tanned himself in this manner until he was unaable to sit upon his horse. That battle was fought by General Smith, and Grant got the praise. Sesator Harlan, of Iowa, gives similar testimony in relation to the Donalsns affair published by us a few weeks ago, as will be remembered by our readers. In this connection we will introduce the following striking contrast between the rival candidates for the presidency, which we take from Wilkes' Spirit of the Times, a sporting paper, intensely radical in politics, aud ardent in its support of Grant. The red hot democracy are required to support for the presidency a cold, blue purring churchman, who is one of the orstore of the Episcopal synod-and H probably never drank a glass of generous J wine tn his life. On the other hind the rcpublicans hive Grant who can drink. r v "" biliöse, toiK norse anu ugnt witn equal lacility. and who don't mind a round oath when t'ie battle ii on. Tennessee has b as reconstructed and under radical rule for two years. A correspondent gives thiä picture of the condition of affairs which this rule has brought about : There is no sadder picture in the blood written history of Tennessee than that presented at this t.nie. With all tho natural strength and wealth of a nation in itself, and au almost tropical beauty aud richness of scenery, there is no spot on earth more cursed, no land so blighted, no dependency more completely at the mercy of a systematic despotism. When any country is brought to that stage where its own people those who have proudly watched its growth in prosperous days ; who have built up all that is great and good within it, and who ask tor no better heritage than a quiet grave t beneath its peaceful skies are forced to flee to other lands for the protection they cannot receive at home." Only ten millions more! That is tie announcement. Increase of the public debt for ugust, ten millions of dollars. A prominent black-and tan newspaper in New York, because the democrats of California denounce the late Chinese treaty and the republican party for permitting 'Jhinamen to become citizeos, says: The so-called democracy still continues to grope in the dark aud butt their heads against stone walls." This sage conclusion is reached because the democrats of California are not willing to degrade the elective franchise and render it contemptible by making toters of the pig-tailed Chinamen. As for as intel lb'ence is concerned, the Chinese arc infiuitcly tho superiors of the negroes. The democrats are not willing to purchase political supremacy by a degredation ofthat which alone sustain a free government, the restriction ot suffrage within limits which will gire the intelligent aud law abiding people of the country control of public affairs. The willingness or the Jackobins to obtain and retain political snprcmacy by such degredation is shown in the reconstruction infamy, and in the comments of the newspaper from whch we have quoted. The idea in the extract is at the bottom of

The Heart People are not unfrerjuently disposed to peak of the heart as the nucleus around which associate the affections, from which emanate hatred, and the promptings of acquisitiveness desire of giin. The expressions, kind-hearted, black-hearted, tender-hearted, and, with all my heart, argue that this member is the throne of thought and mental activity, Nonsense. Why not with equal propriety designate the liver or the kidneys, with extraordinary powers for good or evil? Undoubtedly this idea of the heart was originated in the fact that mental excitement is followed by quickened throbs at the heart. Great fright excites the heart, or rather gives it a sudden labor to perform, tus the feeling at the heart. The intestines probably have about a much to do with thought as the heart. The luncs contain a much afeetio as tke heart. The heart is no more nor less thau a muscular piece of meat. The brain contains the scat of menL 1 1 r 11 1 j tni activity end or all pleasure and pain. Quit speaking ol the heart as the organ of sffecttOB and hatred, for it has enough to attend to in throwing the life current throughout the entire body, and feeding the various ramifying veins and arteries. Bonner and the Sew York Ledgr. Bonner's New Y'ork Lelger circulates 350.001) copies. Bonner has paid one or m. re authors $10,000 per annum for perViees rendered. Coming to this country about twenty-eight years ago, he apprenticed as a printer's "devil." By steady and persevering labor he rapidly advanced and is now one of the most successful journalists in the country. Among his characteristics worthy of imitation it may be oaid of him that he has never used tobacco in any form, never indulged in ardent spirits, and never broke the sabbath. So careful is he in this latter respect, that under no consideration will he allow the sound of a tool to be heard in his establishment after the hour of half past eleven on Saturday night uutil half past twelve on Monday morning. lie owns a stable of the finest horses in the world. A horse was recommended for his health, aud he became an enthusiast iu equine proprietorship, lie owns Dexter at a cost of 830,000 dollars. This animal has made a mile in 2 minutes 181 seconds. On no account will Bonner allow money to be bet on his horses, r.either will allow one to be harne-sed on Sunday. Among those who have written for the Ledger may be mentioned Irviug, Fanoy Fern.

Hear what Horace Greeley tays: " A republic, in which a large proportion of the raten are ignorant, enslaved to appetite, aud iu desperate want of ihe necesraries of life, is a very insecure guardian of liberty, property aud prosperity.". What a biting piece of sarcasm is this upon the reconstruction policy of cungres-, which Horace Greeley supports through the columns of the New York Tribune and upon the stump. He is laboriug Lv give eleven states o( the union over to a class of people ignorant, enslaved to ppepetite, and desperate from a want cf the the necessaries of life, which its member are too indolent to earn, aud daily ascris that these people are the true guardians of liberty, property and prosperity. Who pay the taxes in the south ? Upon whose kboulders fall the burdens of the carpet bag governmects ? Not upon those who reap tbe profits of office.

Tnej have all their effects in carpet bas.and send their money north as eoon as it is received. What chance has a peoble to recuperate when they are thus drained by mercenary leaches ?
