POLITICAL.
Grant has said, in reply to some diers:
"I only want you to support me until next November."
After that "the flood" - or what?
In the Alabama Legislature there is a carpet-bagger named Coon. He wanted to be Ty-coon, but failing in that he became a high-coon.
"Work! Work! Work!" says a Radical exchange. "Steal! Steal! Steal!" is the present Radical occupation. A change would be a good thing.
Grant traveled in a stage coach on his Western trip, and it was immediately christened a Grant stage. It will be an emi-grant stage after November.
A Radical paper in Pittsburgh says that the reason that Grant don't say anything is "because he don't feel his oats." But it can't deny that he feels his rye occasionally.
Speaking of Grant's order banishing the Jews, and the comments of the press thereon, a Radical paper says: "The Copperhead press think that they will make a Jews-harp of General Grant. There is no necessity for it. He is one already. You never hear him until Washburne plays upon him."
A Radical paper, speaking of Thad Stevens, in relation to the greenback question, says that "this hoary political prostitute has fallen into disrepute." Rather a strange antithetical juxtaposition of terms. But they are good Radical terms.
