JMPRA CH HIM. If any man connected with the Government de.;erves to be impeach ed it is Grant, the patron of thieves and the rewartler of disgraced cnl- piits. 'I'here is surely evidence siif- iicient to justify the House to arraign liim before the Senate for tiial, al though it is altogether improbable that a body composed as it is of such partisan material would convict how ever overwhelming the evidence. If Grant hud not been the leader of the Union armies he would long ago have come to grief. He has offend ed a hundred limes more than An drew Johnson offended, and yet a bitter and hostile Congress impeach ed the latter and came near driving him from office. We should rejoice to see the am bitious aud ignorant ruler of a free people brought to the official block for his many and great crimes against honesty, civil liberty ann home rule. As the New York Sun truly says, “If it were not for what Grant did in the war, he would have compulsory leave from the White House within the next ninety days.” Capt. Samuel T. Williams, of Rocky Mount, formerly of the Ra leigh press, has been selected to de liver the Memorial Address at Ra leigh, with Col. T C. Fuller as al ternate.

Things are working admirably. Conservatives to the front ; pre pare for war. 'I’he campaign is drawing near, and we must oust Grant from the White House and put a man of honor and integrity in his place, if such a one can be found in these corrupt times. We have no doubt he will use every subtle art his poluted brain can suggest to be •■e elected for a third term, and if he succeeds, we will see this glorious union crumble to dust under the vile administration of such a hardened wretch.
