]ustarl Enthusiasm—The (irantites Trying to Galvanize Some Life Into Their Parly.

The Grantitps are just at this time making a desperate effort to keep their courage up, so that they can .carry their disorganized party through the campaign, without it being shattered all to pieces. They hung their hopes on the Louisville Convention, and for a few days enthused some spirit into the lifeless action of the party by encoftraging that political failure. They then again tried to be enthused over the result from Vermont, but the real facts of the case showed that the Republican strength had been largely reduced in that quarter. Next came the Maine election, and to keep up the courage of the party, the Republican leaders in this city absolutely fired a cannon in joyousness over the result. We have not heard of cannon being fired at any other point, and suppose nowhere else in the universe could there be enough of audacious pi litical nincompoops, to engage in sudta thing,under such a state of circumstipwes. They fired their cannon, and this fcoorning the news is confirmed that the Republicans have carried the State, by not over 15,000. Four years ago, when like now, the full vote of th§ Ste^waa polled, the then Republica%rpirffy carried it by just 20,403 majority. And yet on this absolute loss of|over 5,000 votes, the Grantites go iifto paroxisms fire big guns, make bi|j speeches and do big things generally. Was there ever such a monstrous eflort made to keep up a big whistle waffle a party was passing through its poJincal grave yard It reminds us very Wich of a gassy fighter, who with outfmuch real strength, and less courage jgjbfcps out into the most public places and banters all the rest of the world to fight. The burley fellow has no real strength in him, and the least effort on part of any one can put him to flight.

We say to our political friends to-day that the skies never looked brighter The enemy rejoices and seems to be ex ceedingly glad, when they even succeed in carrying their strong places. This shows their real despondency. They cleave hold of the shadow of success, and endeavor to make capital out of it. They are trembling on the verge of their certain overthrow, and we are glad they show such courage, so long before the day of election, for by it the friends of Mr. Greeley have ample time to expose their false enthusiasm, and show to the voters their silly reason for it. They have thrown up their hats too soon aiul will find that the reaction which is certain to come, will be overwhelming and complete. No man who has ever been for Horace Greeley, is against him now. He has not lost one friend, and is gaining stead ily every day. We defy any Grantite to point out one single man who has ever declared himself for the Reform movement, who has now gone over to the enemy. We are stronger to-day than yesterday, aud will be stronger to-mor row than to-day and on the contrary there is not a day passes but some one heretofore connected with the Republi can party gives in his adherence to the great Reform movement. These additions do not only embrace the rank and tile, but prominent leaders men who hare been idols in the old Republican party.

We

are glad, therefore, to seethe euuny, thus early in the day, show their weakness by clinging to such triumphs as the

Vermont aud Maine elections. It is proof conclusive to the observing mind that the old adage is true, "Drowniug men wilt catch at straws."

TIIE Norfolk Virginian comments sadly on Mr. O'Couor's letter. It says: "He enjoys a large revenue, an ample fortune, the luxuries of life, and sits under his own vine and fig tree, with none to make him afraid. He can afford four more years, or a dozeivof Grant's rule, but we cannot, and in losing sight of this, Mr. O'Conor has shown more devotion to abstractions than to suffering bu»

.. Ji A iY

The Campaign of Slander.

Mr. Grant's stumpers and organs claiin that this is a campaign of slander, and that those papers which advocate ttfe claitds of Mr. Greeley to the# Presidency are the slanderers and that they are readily seconded by Liberal and Democratic speakers.

But are the supporters of Mr. Greeley the slanderers. Their charges are seemingly so well substantiated that they are only disputed by individuals on the broad basis of a general denial those against Mr. Greeley and his most ardent supporters are as a general thing either simply malicious ar entirely without foundation in fact. As a case in point, we cite the following imbecile charges, for which a contradiction was sought by Mr. Greeley's friends where the idiotic reports were current: Editor New York Tribune

SIR: A report is in circulation, in the interior of this State, that Mr. Greeley is in favor of introducing th© smallpox into the public schools also, that he was a Conlederate General during the war, and surrendered to Grant at Appomattox. These reports are doing Mr. Greeley great damage with bis old friends, and, it not disproved, will seriously affect his vote in the western counties.

Yours, SENECA.

Can any one imagine a more silly report than that? We opine not. What surprises us the most, however, is the fact that men have no more sense than to, for a moment, give heed to such stuff. The man who would display so lamentable a lack of information as to place any credence in such a slander should not be entitled to thegreatest privilege of American citizenship—the right of suffrage.

HERE is one blessed illustration of the sort of rule which the Grant party are striving to maintain at the South. We find it in a most admirable speech recently delivered at Vicksburg by Judge Harris, of Mississippi. In that State they have a "one mill tax" for the publie schools. A most excellent object certainly, as Judge Harris cordially admits. But how is it carried out? In a single county of Mississippi the school-tax produced last year $9,000. The law imposing allows school directors ten cents a mile traveling expenses and three dol lars for "official sessions." In the county alluded to the directors last year "sat' for forty-two days, and consumed in their expenses nearly $2,500, being more than one-fourth of the ivhole school fund! Truly does Judge Harris exclaim upon this, "the quality of the strange governments we have is to present everything in the worst possible light." This is the way in which the sacred work of edutiat Jug the negroes of Mississippi is presented to the people of that harassed and im poverished State.

WHEN the President's wife's brother, attempts to murder an editor in his pff vate olfice, at Washington, with a blud geon, and he is brought before the eourt to answer to the heinous charge, iie is invited by the Judge and Cptrk of the court to take a seat by the&, and does actually sit by^the Clerk. This is Impe-rialism—favoritism-fbr*the Royal Family at the seat of Government.

SENATOR STOCKTON acknowledges himself one of the few stiff-necked ones who lon|* ""field out against the Liberal Republican and Democratic Conventjons. He is also of the number of those hold that it is unpatriotic to talk of party when the liberties of the country are in danger.

THE Administration of Grant commenced by claiming from Great Britain $2,000,000,000 for damages on account of the Alabama Claims. They have agreed to take at the Geneva Conference about $10,000,000 in full satisfaction. Was there ever such a fall, my countrymen?

The Colored Citizen.

As in Cincinnati, so also in St. Louis and elsewhere, the blacks "feel their oats." In St. Louis they have become very belligerent. They brutally assaulted one of their own race for wearing a white hat. Several others, according to the Republican, have been insulted and abused, aud threatened with assassination for expressing a preference for Greeley over Grant.

On Thursday night last, a lot of negroes, marching in procession with torches, assaulted a street car, throwing stones into the car in which were several ladies, and at the same time cruelly beating and nearly murdering an inoffensive driver, whose life was barely saved through the interference of the Mayor, who dragged the poor man, bleeding and seriously wounded, from the street into his own yard. The only provocation for this fiendish atrocity was that the driver did not stop the car while the procession was passing.

Nor was that all. Other delegations of blacks on other streets beat horses at tached to cars over the head with their torches. It required the vigorous efforts of a large posse of the police to protect the street cars and the passengers from wanton and unprovoked outrages. One negro struck an unoffending boy a cruel blow on the head with his lamp-pole. The negroes in the procession carried in their hand stones? and bowlders ready to assail whites against whom they might conceive a dislike.—Cincinnati Enquirer.

Explain

It is now nearly a week since a full circumstantial account appeared in the public prints of one of the most scandalous transactions ever alleged to have been consummated even in lhis day of great things in rascality. This story charges it on sundry members of Congress, iucluding Blaiue, of Maine, Boutwell, now Secretary of the Treasury, Dawes, aud others, that they took large bribes from the Credit Mobilier to secure the interests of the Pacific Railway. Not one authentic, denial of the charge has yet been made. The Times of yesterday in a telegram from Augusta, Me., says "Mr. Blaine has promptly put hie foot on the rascally thing aud squelched it by au emphatic denial." This is very fine. But what has Mr. Blaiue promptly squelched." The charge against him is made in a list of members of Congress and of shares of stock apportioned to them, which is given to the public as in the writing of Mr. Oakes Ames. Now what does Mr. Blaine "emphatically deny Does he deny that Oakes Ames made this list? Or does he admit the authenticity of the list aud charge Oakes Ames with slander and falsehood in putting his name ugon it? Vague telegrams invoking "heaven to witness," and all thatsortof thine, will not meet this case. Noone but Mr.Blaine has ever attempted, as this telegram claims that he has, to meet it. It must be met.—N. lr. World.

IN Hastings, Minn., the roll of Greeley Republicans number 115, among whom are A. E. Rich, Chairman of the Re publican City Committee J. N. Searles, County Attorney Captain E. H. Wood and S. Jenkins, both candidates for the Legislature on the Republican ticket Jast /all, and J), C. Johnson,

Wilson—Greeley.

The Evening Post persists in its assertion that Henry Wilson and Horace Greeley have been in substantial accord on the "Know-Nothing" question—that their difference was one of degree rather than of kind. The truth is quite otherwise. They differed as follows 1. Henry Wilson, after applying unsuccessfully for admission to the KnowNothing Lodge in his own town (Natick), tried again in Boston, and gained admission. Mr. Greeley, on the other hand, never in his life entered, nor sought to enter, a Know-Nothing lodge, council, or conventicle of any kind. 2. Henry Wilson, being himself the Republican candidate for Governor in 1854, himself voted and induced others to vote for Henry,J. Gardner, the Kno\Nothing candidate. Mr. Greeley, on the contrary, voted that year and every year for the Republican as against the rival "American" or Know-Nothing candidates.

We have no wish to magnify this difference, preferring to fight to-day's battle on to-day'a issues. It is the untruth of the Post and the Times, rather than the crooked ways of Henry Wilson, that we now especially condemn.—N.Y. Iribune.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.

Greeley and the Soldiers.

Mr. Greeley has written the following reply to an inquiry from Mr. P. H. Bader, of this city, as to whether or not, in his estimation, the soldiers of the Republic were not entitled to especial consideration in the matter of official appointments:

NEW YORK, Sept. 3, 1S72.

"DEAR SIR:—Yours of the 11th ult. only found me to-day. "In appointments to office, capacity and integrity should be the indispensable qualifications. Next to these, I regard faithful service reudered to the country in some sphere of patriotic devotion and self-sacritice. I know no class whose claims to prefereuee are superior to the disabled soldiers of the Union. Yours, "HORACE GKEKLEY. "Mr. P. H. BADER, Cin., Ohio."

A VOLUME of Dr. Holland's shorter poems are in press, and will probably be issued in the late fall or early winter. It includes a new poem of considerable length, entitled "The Marble Prophecy," with the famous statue of the "Laocoon" as its theme.

Triumphant for Twenty Years.—More than twenty years ago the MUSTANG LINIMENT made its debut in the West. Its cures of the various external diseases of horses and cattle, astonished the planters and farmers of the Mississippi and Ohio Valleys, and a demand for it sprung up which necessitated its manufacture on an extensive scale. Soon the-discov-erjr was made that it was a gra#8 specific or rheumatism, gout, neuralgia, eareaqjje, toothache, and other^xternal ailments of mankind. Tk^ih it was tried as a healing, pain killirig application, in crises of outward- infjui-y, such as cuts, bruises, burns/'Spasms, etc., and was found equally^feerviceable. The fame of the h&w^'rernedy for some of the most pMaffil ills that afflict mankind and the lo^weir animals, spread rapidly, and Mus--TANG LINIMENT soon took rank in every State and Territory of the Union as a STANDARD CURE.

A ^EJWgEPOCH IN THE TJiADE!

Retirement from tlie ltetail Dry Goods Business

OF ONE OF THE

OLDEST AND LA It EST HOUSES IN THE CITY!

We, iu common with most of our citizens, have recently been surprised by the decision of Messrs. Tuell, Ripley & Demiug to go out of the retail trade in order to

engage exclusively iu the wholesale dry goods business. The retirement from the retail trade of this old-established aud successful Arm

Will Place New Responsibilities Upon Us.

We accept them cheerfully. This community have always found us ready to

extend our business and to add new attractions to our establishment as rapidly as

the necessities of the town have required. In fact, we have always felt disposed to

keep in advance of the actual requirements of the situation, for we are not of the number of those "doubting Thomases" who prognosticate a snail's pace growth for

our city. We believe iu Terre Haute and in her destiny. We place no bounds for

her future growth and greatness. Her enterprise is marvelous, her opportunities

unmeasured. So if we are ahead of her actual requirements to-day, we know that we will not be to morrow. We have some grand projects in our head, to be worked

out among you in the future-* Every month of every year we shall seek to add something to the attractiveness and comp'eteness of our establishment, until we

shall be able to present t» our citizens the most inviting, extensive and thorough metropolitan dry goods store to be found in the State.

As Messrs. Tuell, Ripley & Deming have decided to retire from the retail trade,

we especially iuvite any of their former customers to make their purchases of us in

the future, promising them pleasant and honorable treatment, and the lowest prices.
