The latest Bulletin on Uniform and oth

ing Wall street and the" Bloated Bond'
Holders."
From the Cincinnati Commercial, June 14.
There is daily drumming in Demo
cratic quarters for recruits for the Pen
tlleton escort, and frequeDt and exhaus
tive deliberations and discussions, and
sessions lasting deep into the night, lo
determine what the escort is to do here
and what is to be done when it arrives
in New York. For several weeks pro
tracted consultations have been bad
with tailors, drapers, upholsters, man-
iua-iuakers, milliners and s r mstresses,
to seule the overpowering question of
a proper uniform. It has at last been
determined, if we are not misinformed,
that mctley shall be the only wear
pantaloon, one leg of Confederate
gray and the other ot ederal blue, with
an Enquirer greenback conspicuously
pasted upon that portion of the gar
ment which covers and conceals the
centre of gravity in the human animal.

colors reversed, liberally decked out
with silver braid and studded with the
regulation buttons of the U. S. A. and

en regie.
This costume was not adopted with
out severe dissensions and internal
broils, there being as much diversity
of sentiment about it as there w.Il be
in the convention about the platform
At first sight it may appear a trifle in
congruous in its composition, but a mo
ments rejection will convince any one
of its appropriateness, as the highest
result of the application to the art of
tailoring of the great conservative
principle of compromise. We cannot
affirm with satisfactory positiveness
u.at the escort will ultimately appear
in this costume, as the party is now not
of one mind on any subiect for more
than forty-eight hours, and this incerli

It is expected that the escort will cre
ate a tremendous sensation in the great
metropolis. Headed by our local poll
ticians, each provided with the ancient
trumpets of the old volunteer fire de
panment, and emulating the heralds of
chivalric joust and tournaments, it is not
improbable that thev will excite as
great an uproar as did the escaped an
imaU from Barnum's Museum, when
that structure was in flames. The
astonished Democrats of Wall street
and Broad street who live by specula
tine in the bonds and other securities
of ibe United Slates, will hear with
astounded ears the chorus of a ihous
nf voices, chanting the praises of
Pendleton and greenbacks. As rank
after rank files past, the bondholders
will read, wiih distended eyes, upon
the surplus of each pantaloon, ibo fate
that awaits ihe bloated aristocrats who
live upon the coupons of the Govern
ment bonds, and demand interest and
principal in gold. It will be a stern
admonition to the Belmonts.tbe Woods,
and the Hoffman's to conquer their
prejudices for gold, and cheerfully sub
rait to Pendleton and the redemption of
their bonds in legal tender.
The Charlottsville (Va.) Chronicle
quotes the World's statement of Judge
Chase's opinions, and says: "If these
are Chase's opinions, we hope he will
not be nominated, and not elected, if
he is nominated. If he wants South
ern support, his opinion on these points
ought to well understood."

GUN. GRANT AND THE
OLD
Daring the year 1565, an old sol
diers named Lemuel Owens, was dis
charged from the Arsenal in this city,
owing to some very abrupt reply he
bad given to a self appointed committee
who were sounding him upon his poli
tics. As Owens had served twenty
six years in ibe regular army, and had
wound up his term of service of the
Peninsula, under McClellan, he would
allow no man to question his right to
vote and boasted, too, that he has serv
ed in the Fourth iufan'.ry, under Grant
when the renowned chieftain was but
a lieutenant.
He told the committee he would go
and see Gen Gram himself about the
matter. They jokingly replied, "Dr.
so, old fellow, he'll make it all right."
General Grant was lemporarially liv
ing on Twentieth and Fourth streets,
in this city and the veteran trudged up
with bis story to the General s house.
He stepped up, raug the bell, and went
into the entry hall When the servant
appeared, and saw an old, sunburned,
poorly dresed man, ie v.ry promptly
asked, "What do you want!"
"I want to see Gen. Grant, was the
calm reply.
The General s engaged and cannot
be seen. Have you got a card?"
Just at this moment a little girls ap
peared, and old Owens said to her.
Sis, run up otairs and tell your papa
an old Fourth infantry man wants lo
see him."
A message soon came down for the
old soldier to come in, when he was
ushered into the presence of Gen.
Grant. He shook him by ihe hand.
and said, General dtn't you know
mt?' 'Ihe Gen. replied that he had
seen so niacy -people of late that it was
hard for him lo remember them all.
Owens told him he had served under
him, and thai had been discharged
from his work, and that he bad lost his
eldest son from disease in the war.
and his family had nothing to depend
upon but his labor. Grant patiently
listened to the old soldier's story, and.
picking up his pen, wrote a few lines
to the effect that Owens should have
work as long as he wanted it.
The old man was not long in reach-
ing his termer neiu or laoor, armea
with the formidable order, and when
he presented it with the signatore of
the Commander-in-Chief attached, it
created much surprise, and ihe veteran
soldier was graciously acknowledged
as entitled, thenceforth to a respectful
coneiJeraiion.

Mr. Harris, the eleijuent North
Carolina Negro orator, said on this
point in his Faneuil Hall speech:
"Now we are told that if the Demo
cratic party nominate certain candidates
there is rear among some tbiu they
will divide the colored vote. Now, my
friends, let me assure you, in 'he
name of 71,000 colored voter in North
Carolina, and I think I can also assure
you in the name of 700,006 loyal black
voters in the South no candidate that
the Domocrats might reach down and

thai the democrats might reach up and
drag down; no man who breathes the
free atmosphere cf heaven who would
accept the nomination at the hands of
the Democratic parly, no such man
could obtain the support of the black
people of the South. fLoud applause. 1
As I have said before, on another oc
casion, if the Democratic party were
to nominate an angel we would not vote
for him, in that the very fact of his ac
cepting a nomination from the Demo
cratic party would be evidence of his
being a fallen angel. Laughter.

DtiFRANCIIISED WHITES.
The Copperhead press have for
months reprebenied that immerse num
bers of white men were disfranchised
in the South, some of them asserting
thai in several States a majority of that
class were deuied the right of voting.
According to figures recently sent to
Congress by Gen. Grant, we are told
that in Virginia the whole number of
whites registered is 120,111, and the
whole number who failed to register,
judging from the tax list and other data,
is 17,343, making the total white male
population of voting age 136,451.
There is nothing to show with certain
ty ihe number disfranchised, but il
must fall considerably short of the
number failing to register. Yet assum
mg that every man registered who
could do so under the laws, less than
twelve per cent are disfranchised. If
only seventy five per cent of these who
did not register are disfranchised, or
12, 258, then less than nine per cent
of the whole are disfranchised. This
is probably very near the exact figure.
In North Carolina'the number of whiles
of voting age is about 126,200, of
whom 11 6S6 are disfranchised, or a
little more than nine per cent. In South
Carolina ihe figures are : Whole num
ber of whites, 67,876 ; disfranchised,
8,244 or a little more than fourteen
per cent. Georcia : Whole number
of whites, 114.833; disfranchised 10,
000, or a little more than nine per cent.
The reports from ihe other rebel States
do not show the number disfranchised
We are told thai in Florida but few
are disfranchised, and nearly all were
registered and have voted. Il is alto
gether probable that the proportion dis
franchised in the other States is not
greater than in '.he four Stales above
named. The average in those Stales
is but a triileover ten percent. That
is. one in ten of the white men of the
Southern States are disfrunchued on
account of their participation in rebel
lion. Tiibune.
As strength or availability is the only
test or evidence of fitness which the
Democrats require, we would sgge
Dr. Wiuship of Masachustti, and
Mike McCoole of Missouri. as a strong
ticket. Aud as a candidate's politics
is a matter of perfect indinerence.pro
vided he can "beat Grant, we are not
sure but Zack. Chandler and Jim Ash
ley would make a good run. Wiih a
view of uniting intemperance and tern
perance men, Dick Yates aud Sam
Cary would be a strong combination
bo would Andrew Johnson and John B
Gough. Henry Ward Beecher aul
Bricham Young would not be a bad
ticket, and we submit, finally, for con
sideration, a combination ticket upon
winch men and women or all parties

Four years ago, after Geo. B
McOlellau had been nominated as the
Democratic candidate for President
against Abraham Lincoln, the De
mocracy were exultant, defiant and ap
parentlv united, and more than one
Republican allowed himself to de
spond. General McClellan had
advantages that can enure to no rebel
Democrat in the present campaign
He had a party in the army, and in
heriied all ihe old tricks of the party
leaders who had selected him. Be
sides, Abmhum Lincoln had many
strong adversaries in the Republican
ranks. But when the final conflict
came the people settled the question by
a majority which, overwhelming as it
was. will be exceeded by that thrown
for Grant and Colfax in Novemt er.
A Democratic paper says: "The De
mocracy are laboring aud will continue
to labor, to make the people thorough
ly acquainted with both the principles
and policy of its party7' We think the
people understand both the principles
and the policy of the Democratic party.
There is a great dearth of principles
in it, and its policy is to rule or ruin;
and the people thoroughly understand
iht fact that its rule is ruin to free in
stitutions and to the national honor and
credit. '
Andrew Johnson predicts that uni
versal suffrage will create an exter
minating war of races. Well, in Oc
tober. 1865, he predicted ihat "the
negro will vote with his late master,
whom he does not hate, rather than
with the non-slaveholding white, whom
he does hate." A very pretiy antithe
sis ,but as unsound as Andrew Johnson
himself. The experience ut.der the
reconstruction laws falsifies it in every
nnrticular and shows thai ne is no
more lo be trusted in the role of pro
phel than in the role of President
Gen. McClellan, it is announced on
ine strength of a private letter, will re
turn from Europe in August, and will
not be a candidate for President this
time. He prefers Gen. Hancock, but
will support the nominee of Tammany
Hall. One account says he will lake
the slump for ihe Tammany ticket, but
we think that must be an error. He
takes the back track when he takes any
WILL, NOT SATISFY.
The Petersburg Index has recently
promulgated its ultimatum, by a flam-
ng announcement of what "will not sat
isfy" rebel? in the pending Presiden
tial election. Here is the way it lays
the lash upon the backs of its submit-
siva .Northern associates:
It will not saiufy Democracy to se
cure control of the government merely
to leniently execute unconstitutional
Radical measures.
It will not satisfy Democracy to come
into posession of, and perpetuate a
Union pinned together by radical bay
onets.
It will not satisfy democracy to ad
minister Radical theories, to put anew
Sinbad upon the Southern neck, and to
win the privilege of experiencing all
the consequences of a host of uncorrect
ed Radical mistakes.
It will not satisfy Democracy to in
herit negro suffrage from the dead
Radicals and to control a black man's
vote in that hall in which Douglas de
clared this was a white man's govern-
ernmenl, formed by white men, for
white men and their children forever.
It will not satisfy Democracy to hold
the offices of the country while the
South writhes under the heel of a de
posed tyrant, and is ruled by a radical
enthroned negro olligarcby
No! No! No! A thousand times No!
We will gain peace by reaction, which
shall remove the leprosy from ihe af
flicted South. We must undo all that
has been wrongly done. We must go
back to the very day and moment
when the Cons' itution was disregarded,
and begin anew to build up a Union of
aw, of love, of peace and of rertna-
neuce, with the great Charter lor us
corner stone.
If such be not the purpose, avowed
and resolute, with which Democracy
shall enter the fields it ought to and
will be beaten, and we shall have
neither reaction nor peace.

A WoNDtaruL Walking Stick.
Henry Clay Dean, the famous Copper
head, orator of Iowa, was in the city
yesterday, with his big augerheaded
walking suck. This suck was a hick
ory sapling, around which a vine had
iwtned itself like a serpent, giving it
the shape of an auger the proper em
blem of a bore. During Mr. Dean s
visit to the east, the slick further devel
oped its nature by presenting a brazen
erpent standing on the head or tno
cane, coned like a cork screw, with
flaming eyes, open mouth, and protrud
ing tongue. The snake is of solid
copper, and is the best representation
of a copperhead we have ever seen,
except Dean himself. The rod of Aaron
devoured the other serpents, but the
stick of the great Iowan vomits forth n
Copperhead of genuine metal. .Mo.

President Johnson says that he does
not heed the taunts and jeers cast on
his callinc as a tailor and asserts as a
reason that "that occupation never dis
graced a man who did not disgrace his
i raft." If this assertion means any
thing, it means that if a man disgraces
his craft, his occupation (or profession
or trade) disgraces him. The sen
tence is far more ambiguous than any
other one by the same high authority.
"Treason must be made odious and
traitors must be punished and impov
erished." In the case of Andrew
Johnson, the tailor has disgraced his
craft; though il never disgraced him;
his treason has been made odious, and
the traitor ought to be punished and
impoveiished.
The Washington correspondent cf
the Albany Argus says that the Ohio
friends of Mr Pendleton will assent
to the p. ssage of the two-thirds rule in
the New York Convention, and that if
they fail, under the operation of the
rule, to nominate their candidate, they
will use their power under the rule to
veto the nomination of Chief-Justice
Chase.
A numbtr of gentlemen formerly
counted among the Democracy, at San
Francisco including Peter Donahue,
acted as officers of the Grant and Col
fax ratification meeting in that city. A
hundred guns were fired at Shasta, in
honor of the nomination of Grant and
Colfax.
