BARRING 00! A SCHOOLMASTER. My early life was made miserable by one Mnlbery Bangs, a gentleman of the old school, who devoted himself to reading, writing and arithmetic, anil the general use of a stick. Upon my head and other parts of my person he imprinted himself so positively that I can eee him now as plainly as if we had parted but yesterday. He was a stout man, who made in his figure, when seen in profile, Hogarth's line of beauty, be-

the legs. He was a blonde. Tho hair of hia head had that sunny tinge sc much admired to-day, and when ruobod down with a tallow candle, as was his wont to dress it, was so smooth and straight that the boys believed that tha flies slipped down it and broke their legs. Ilia eyes were dark and fierce, and hid under the cavernous recesses made by his bushy red eyebrows, seemed to watch like evil spirits over his precious nose. The nose was a ruby nose, bottle in shape, and when Bangs was angry, which appeared to be all the time, it glowed like the headlight of a locomotive, ilia mouth was finished without lips, and resembled a slit in a piece of sole leather. My early experience gave mo a distaste for -,he whip in schools. But I am far from siding with the sentimentalists of the present day who advocate kindness and moral suasion. The easier teachings not the best, but, in fact, the only ones are those of the rod, that gave us a realizing sense of pain to the body, and drilled us into patience and self-denial. Boys are of two sorts good little boys, who die young, and bully boys, who cannot be killed. As the last named only live to be men, instead of being transplanted into angels, it ia well to .liscipline them through the only process known to animals, and that is the discipline of fear. The old adage is not far wrong that said, " Vhen you meet a boy whale him for if he has not been ia mischief, he is going is." What may bare been my feelings when suffering under the stick of old Bangs, my objection to him now rests not so much on his use of that instrument as the beastly appearance and character of the man. Later in life 1 was the scholar of a man who was as severe with the rod, almost, as my enemy Bangs; but to my dying day 1 shall remember him as one of the noblest of men and the. truest friend I ever encountered. Alexander Kiniaont lived and died in the obscurity of a select school, with the generous impulses and large, healthy brain that ought to have secured him a high position among the teachers and leaders of men. From th at schoocame boys bo disciplined to study, and so filled with the love of learning, that they, in making their mark in the world, lived to illustrate the beauty of the system. I did not, however, fit down to write of this, but to give in brief some of my earlier experiences. It was understood throughout the country that the boys were justifiable in barring out the master, and, if successful, were not only entitled to a week's recess, but the admiration and praise of their Barents.

Old Bangs was famous for his power of

resistance, ana ooastea mat no school of his had ever succeeded in conquering in such attempts. On the occasion

to which I refer we had two big boys in school named Bill Henning and Bob Strong. They were knotty-headed,

Droaa-sfiotuaerea and hard-fisted fel-

lows, who worked through the summer for means to attend school during the

winter. .bach, in turn, had been unmercifully whipped by the roaster, and it was understood throughout the school that the barring out of Master Bangs was to be punished and old scores

settled. The evening before the general engagement, Bill and Bob, our noble leaders, with a few confederates, stole back to the school-house armed with hickory poles. Breaking open the door, thev

whittled one end of these toujgh saplings to a point, and then hardened the points in the fire. Then placing these in a corner ready for use, with a stout cord, they gave orders to the boys willing to take part in the fight to be on hand at the school-house before day light next morning. At the time indicated, nearly all the lads were in attendance. Homo were pale and trembling, others were noisy and boastful ; but I observed that the real leaders and reliable soldiers were quiet so quiet, indeed, that one might doubt them. " Men are bet boys of a larger growth," said Dryden. and that solemn pomp of a poet, Wordsworth, assures us that " the child is father to the man." In the animal propensities and tastes that survive our boyhood, this is undoubtedly true, and many

and manv a time since, in hours nf

peril, 1 have re-enacted the same exhibitions of character that occurred on

that cold aaorning in .December among

the boys. Our first order was to cut and carry

in enough wood to serve the garrison

dur. net siece. 1 his was promptly exe

cuted. Then the window-shutters were pulled to and securely naikd, the door

closed, and desks and benches piled against it. After two port -holes were opened by iemoving the chinks and daubing, and gathering about a roaring fire in the huge fireplace, we awaited the approach of the enemy. AS the time approached for the master's coming a dread silence fell upon the little crowd, so that when he did come we could Hear his heavy trend upon the crusted snow, and many e. heart sunk and face whitened in terror. Our leaders sprang to their posts each aide of the door, and on being ordered to surrender, boldly demanded a week's holiday and a treat of cider and sppl4i

This was sternly refused. '"Fire!" cried Bill and Bob, and two poles were thrust out with nil the strength the stout arms could give them. They took the indignant pedagogue in the sides with such force that, but for his thick flannel overcoat, holes might have been made in his wicked body. As it was, ho staggered back, and for twenty minutes or more wo saw him sitting upon s log catching his breath and rubbing his wounded sides. We gave no end of loud cheers, claiming for oureelves the first knock down, if not the that blood. At the nd of twenty minutes the master aro . Digging the huge stone from under the enow, he approached and threw it with great violence against the rloor. The stout oak batting fairly shook under the blow, but held its own. Another, and another followed, amid jeers and laughter, encouraged by our noble leaders to keep up the courage of their followers. Tho fourth stone split the doer, and the fifth broke the upper wooden hinge, and but for the barricade within the breach would have been available. The enemy, now being aware of the defense within, luddenly dropjied the stone and ran in at the door. We were not to be taken by surprise. Again were the sharp lances thrust out. One hit with decided effect in the commissary, vulgarly called stomach ; the other, as he stooped doubled by the pain, in tho face, inflicting an ugly wound, from which tho blood flowed in profusion. IIn retreated, and we saw him fairly dance with rage and pain. The rnoreof this he indulged in, the wilder grew our delight, which we testified iD f creams of laughter. He soon ended this exhibition and :li-appeared around the school house, evidently on a reeonnois-nce. There was a dead silence, and we realized that which we have so often felt since, the unknown movement of a silent enemy. This was ended by a noise upon the roof, and soon volumes of smoke pouring into the room told us that stragety had taken the place of assault. We were to be smoked out. For a moment our leaders Io"ked puzzled. Fortunately, in the excitement of.'.the conflict, the fire had not been fed, and now on!!y a few embers and chunks supplied the smoke. These were scattered upon the broad heart!;, and water thrown in to extinguish the remainder. Then Dill find Bob, selecting four of the stoutest poles, thrust them up the chimney, and at the word v e gave, to use our own phrase, " a bloody hist." The consequences were a rattling of falling boards, with the unmistakaV.3 thump of a heavier body upon the ground. Wo found afterwards that ths master had not only covered ths chimney lop with boards, but had seated himself upon them ; the sudden and unexpected "hist" had tumbled him oft'. We heard dismal groans and cries for relief from the enemy.

Some were in favor of eomc at once

to his assistance ; ethers, more cautious, opposed such a merciful errand.

" He s hollerur too loud to be hurt much," said shrewd Bob. We had a division in our council of war. This ended in a call for a volunteer to make a sortie and investigate. Jack Loder, one of the most daring and active among the younger boys, responded. A shutter on the opposite side to the cries for help was opened quickly and Jack thrust out. Tha result of this was not only a cessation of groaning, but a chase that we witnessed through the port holes. Jack was a good runner, and when the two disappeared over the meadow, into the willow thicket. Jack was gaining on him, and we had good hopes of his escape. To our dismay and honor, in half a: hour we saw tho master returning with poor Jack in his grasp. He had a hostage, and w.ib switt in his use of the advantage. Stopping before the house, he began whipping the poor fellow unmercifully. Jack's cries were piteous. "Oh, let him in, boys; let him in, he's a killin' o' me," rung m our ears. There was a hurried consultation. Tho benches and desks were quietly removed from the door. A sortie had been determined on. The master stood at th-2 side of the house south of the door, and as soon as the opening was made, Bill unclosed a shutter and proposed a parley. The answer was a rush at the open window by the master, who began climbing in. Brave little Jack seized him by the legs, and before he could kick him off a dozen stout lads were clinging to them, while as many more held him on the inside. Bill seized the rope and fittempted to pass the noose over his arms. In the hurry and confusion of the fight he succeeded only in getting it over his head. Pulling it as th-3 boy3 didy then?, was a fair prospect of e nding the useful labors of this teacher by strangulation.

that ue deserved it no one ot us doubt

ed ; but Bob, having a! imbed over the

death. We were regarded as herooi by tho country side, and in the burning of our place of torture anel the sickness of the master, we were tho happiest set of little animals in the world. It is a long time, I am sorry to say, since then, and most of the actors in the drama have passed away.

How Cornell was Opened to Women. This is the way the doors of Cornell University swung open responsive to the magical rap of the coming woman. Years before the establishment of the University there had been a land grant from Congt'i ss to the Statu of New York, for educational purposes, of 999,000 acres. This was given to Cornell by the State, and as a return that University offjred each year to receive one scholar free from every judicial elistrict. In those good old days it was not thought necessary to stipulate that that scholar should vol be a lady, so nothing was said about the matter, an 1 no trouble came from the omission until about two years ago, and then it came in the shape of a very bright young lady, vrho had graduated from her home school and was prepared to and proposec. to graduate from Cornell. Sho had been

chosen by her district in consequencnof

lier fttness lor the place, and the University authorities could do nothing but admit her to examination. She civile off triumphan1:, and eo whs received.

t'.ut now a new difficulty arose : There

were no dormitories lor young ladies, and she was told she might stay, provided she would board in Ithaca. This would require her to walk about a mile and climb a hill, upon the t op of which

the university is perched, so lone .nd

steep that the path Luust have been se-

lectedjuBt to remind the student of the trials and difficulties which beset his path. But she accepted the conditions s.nd climbed the hill for two or three weeks and then the loses she had brought from her rural home began to

lade lrom her cheeks, and the had to

own herself unequal to the task, and re

turned home. But she had opened the

way ror others, and this v'Mv iekt Is-

dies have obtained admission. The dor

mitory difficulty has been removed,

through the generosity of a Mr. S ige,

who has given JilOtUlWO to be used ii;

the erectien of one exclusively for la-

elies. It will not be long before it is completed, and Cornell hereafter will

be impartial.

A good many years ago a Kentuckian went to Cincinnati and drove a cart at low wages until ho had saved up 700. With this he bought a barge load of coal, which sunk at the landing the night it was delivered, and he had to sell it for $4(;0. The party who bought it failed before paying, but finally compromised by giving two and a half acres of land for the debt. The land is now in the business ce-nter of Cincinnati, and is worth tl ,500,1 "00 to its owner hk the price ot thst load tfcoal.

Ono or the Finest Efforts of tho Camt pnign. Gen. Ilewley, of Connecticut, etclivered lately at Chicago one of tho most stirring speeches of the campaign, and wo regret that'- we have room for only a few extracts from it. !Io commenced his speech with a brief recitation of political history, and dealt with Republican institutions in this country as vicwerl from tho European standpoint. Referring to the great rebellion, he said : 'This was a great elanger a very great danger, as someof our host men prophesied from time to time ; and Andrew Jackson gave you good warning of it. He said the nullifiurs made the tariff their first pretext ; and, said he, they will make .the slavery question their next one. All of a sudden, before any man expected it, we were plunged into the most terrible civil war ot modern times ; he could not dream that we could raise up our great armies by the hundred thousand marshal our hosts by tho million. Wasn't it a great day ? Wasn't it a great crisis? Wasn't it a time that tailed for patriotism, for statesmanship, for high resolve the time to test the American people to see whether there was enough central coherent power in their government to see whether they had in their hearts the spirit of self-saciificc- to toad themselves with those millions of debt, and raise armies by the hundred thousand lay everything on tho altiir rather than abandon the great princijiles they advocated and believed in 7 Ineleed it was a great time ; and tie Old World halted to see what we would do with it And then was the time to lest parties. What then became of this great, this boosted Democratic party in that crisis? You compelled us, my Demooratic friends you compelled us to save this country. We would rather not have done it. You elid nothing ; ycu left tho credit of saving this country tothe Kspublican party alone. We would rather have had it otherwise. Wo begged you all of the North to act as one man, ai one body of m-n. not aa a political party, but you ren-.-'inod still. If you had heeded our entreaty, if you had acted as we begged you to do, there would have been no longer war ; it would not have lasteel three months ; it would not have begun at all. But you stayed back, you opposed and prpohesied against us, at every opportunity ; you prophesied disaster and defeat in answer to our demands for aid. You said we hail no power to coerce States ; you said this Government had no power to interfere

with the Southern people. Wo said if there was no power we would find power,

and founel it. You said when we were

raisins troops that we coultl not raise

seventy-five thousand : and we got them

betore they could be counted, you said we

could not got 300,000, and they came together before they could be clothed and armed ; you said it would ruin our credit,

but we went abroad, nndourbontis stood

at par in all the great markets of the

world ; ytu Baid that ou.' legal tenders that we were obliged to issue would be

bo much waste paper ; they are to-day

the best currency we ever had applause ; you said we could not raise men ; we raised men, and raiseel men, until our rolls went up tocver 2,000,000, and still they were comi rig and reaily to come. You said the people would not tax themselves. They loaded the tax

on until tneir very Knees bent under

the burdens, and they said, ' Do you

want more more money and more

men? If you do, cah lor them and they will como, and the country shall live.'" Applause.!

The Governor then dealt with the

matter of the colored people, referretl

to universal freedom established in the Constitution, and tpoke'eloquently on the blessings of equal citizenship. Tl cn he struck the isues that have arisen since the war dius :

THE ISSUES OF THE WAR. We dare ycu (the Demooratic partv)

to oppose the National Bank question : you say it was wrong ; it was a grand

monopoly. There may be leature-s in it wrong; but if upon the whole; it be not good, why don't you say so in your plat-

lorm ? Twelve years ago we hau as

many systems as there were States, and

you coultl not go List, and have two or three hundred dollars, without sorting it out, dollar by dollar, before you came

back West to see what you muso leave

on the way. A Uonnecticui man, to

get as fao- as Wisconsin, would empty his pocket and get rid of that money through Wisconsin, money hero in Illinois, money here and there. Now

there is not a man in the audience whei

has got twenty bills in his pocket hutcan tell me tlie'State they came from.

Very likely they did not tiome from any State ; they may be legal tender from

Washington ; you have not examined them : wher jas, in olden times, vou

could not buy a paper of tobacco from a

grocer but he would look over hi.s coun

terfeit detected to see if it was all right.

Applause-. What is tho reason of all this? One reason is that before we al

low a bank !.o issue a single I ill, for every ninety dollars of bills it wants to

issue it lias got to take a

hundred elollars to Washington, loavo

it there locked up as securi

tv. and the directors ot banks may

be utterly and totally bankrupted without a dime of assets ; but it doesn't

make a farthing of difleronce to you,

though you have got a bag lull ot tneir

bills not ot o farthing. Thtjy have

wasted thei : stockholder' money ; they may have dofiauded the .mercantile community who may havo deposit

cd with them but to the billholler, the

laboring maifres, it is-nothing, and every woikintmuin in the country has this

solid, enduring stablo currency, not dc-iK-ndine upon tho wisdom of bank direc

tors at all, but a national cumncy as it

outlit lo ho. Now, it this is a ban ays

tern, my Democratic friends, why don't

you say so in your piatiorm r wo eiare vou to make issue upon it. You have

not one wore to say against it. I don't

sav it is nerf;ct, but on the whole 1 say

it is infinitely the best thing for us, and

f it neo'Js norlecting we win pericci it

You didn't point out where it needed

uerfectinc So far as you say, it is per

feet: vou find no fault with it. I find

fault with it myself, and therein per

haps differ lrom others. 1 say we should hurry on to Bpecie resumption, crowd

on toward it steadily, working in such

a way as to bring it without disaster. There is no need ot that, nor will there be. The fjgit act that the Republican party passecFwheii Grant became President, the first net signed, was ono pledging tho nation to pny the bonds in gold or its equivalent, and as speedily as possible to bring legal-tenders to their par value. Applause.

The speaker then dealt with the taxing of bonds, and said that the Democratic party never attempted to tax bonds, although there were plenty of t-hnm in ttie country. There was only one way ia issue bonels that was to issue th'tfj-ns untaxable snd then turn round and tax them. That was what tho Democrats proposed to do, but they gave it up. FOatlt.N RELATIONS. The Governor then dealt with the internal revenue matter and the tariff question, after which ho came to our foreign relations. He said : We are at peace with all the world, A: e we not rightly so 1 Ought we to be at war ? Havo we submitted to any indignity ? 1 know after Gen. Grant came in there were uome very high-toned men in the South and North who said that Grant did nut 'maintain thedignity of tho country, find allowed it to be imposed upon. We have a great and just claim against Grant Britain, and if Grant were maintaining tho elignity of tljo country he would collect the Alabama claims.' Now there is noboely-who can afford to be so peaceable as a man who can fight. Now, gentlemen, I beg your attention for a short time. They charge Gen. Grant with submitting to indignities at the hands of Great Britain, and not maintaining the dignity and honor' of the country. I said that no man can so well afford to be peaceable and good tempered as the man who all the world knows can fight, and tho world knows Grant can fight. Cheers. TheSenate rejected the Johnson treaty ; we waited in good time, and the Commissioners of Great Britain came all the way across the water to the city of Washington to call on us there. They made the treaty by which we both submitted the questions concerning the Alabama, and referred our grea t claims for damages to friendly arbitration, calling in boarilsfrom friendly nations ; and now we hear that over fifteen millions aro to be awarded to us for payment of those damages, and wa and Great Britain have set an example to the world. Was Gen. Grant right in this? The Dexuociatio party cannot make an issue with us on that. Great Britain, proud ss she is, began with an expression of regret for her course. I don't know than there may be tho like of it in history. I don't recollect it if belthirB. Is thoro anything wrong in this? If the honor and dignity of the country has not been upheld, let us know it. There is no word about it in your platform. We might have had a cjuarrel with Spain we might have pickeel a quarrel. We consider her inferior to us ; we might have seized Cuba ; we might have expended raillions and have lost a great many ships, and buried a great many men; but whenever the subjects of Spain committed any wrong, before we sent to them, they eerit back the next day, ' Wo don't desire to have any dispute with you.' Our Hag is respected the world over. Now, I have substantially gone over every point. I have referreel to the banks, the currency, tho manner of the payment of the debt, the taxation, the internal revenue, the tariff systems, and to our foreign policy, and on no one of those points will they make an issue with uu."

CIVIL SEKV1CB REFORM, ETC. The sneaker then made -a masterly

review of the government of the coun

try, referred to tho Pacino railroad enterprise, instancetl the liberality and

good faith of tho Republican party to

ward foreign-born citizens, retuteet tne contemptible charges of extravagance brought against the Administration, dealt ably with the somewhat vexed question of the French arms sale, ar.d

logically delended the economy ot tne

Government ia the collection of reve

nue. Speaking of civil 'service reform,

Gov. Ilawley remarked :

The country hi s not yet agreed upon

any system ir.i inai matter, it is not;

true Congress put tbe responsibility

upon Gen. Grant, who promptly met it.

lie lias again P.nu again in uib luctwagco insisted, and again and again in his nrivato conversations argued, that a

system of some kind might bo adopted.

it is more than wo years since ne ana

I were ridino together on a railroad

train, and he argued that he could have

a system of some sort of competit.ve examination for department clerss and Custom Home officers, and could have

men put. in the Bervice for life or during Hood behavior, to be retired in in their

old ago upon half piy. 'Why,' said I,

tieneral, the people would say tnat wouiu be building up a special botly of men dancerous to our liberties or to our

politics establishing, as it wore, a kind

of aristocracy,' 4 Yes, I know they would

say so; but ca.nnoc they say tne same oi the army and navy, and say true,' said he. ' There e.ro men in the service for life to bo retired upon half pay; yet nobody finds fault with the otlicers of ;ho army and navy for interfering with politics. It is a matter of pride with them to attend to their own business and not interfere with ordinary political all'airs ; biit they reserve the right 10 vote.' So Gen. Grant argued for half an hour, in nil sincerity and earnestness, in favor of civil service reform, for, said he, ' it t,kes so much time of Government officials to bo answering the claims of tho people for office. Why every man who wants one of these (50,000 offices and shore are probably twenty to each oilico thinks lie may see the President if ho gets to Washington. There is no i;so telling him to go to the .Secretary of the Navy, or Army, or Treasury, or Foreign Affair : if he cannot get wlu.t he wants he thinks he may go to the White House, and would take all tho time of the President if he would lot him.' Tho President argued that eomo system that would get rid of this was essential, but the great trouble of civil service reform lies in this : Congress has usurped powers that bcloug to to the Executive. Senators and Representatives claim the right to appoint these officenj, and a Senator would re sent it if thei Provident, without asking him, wero In make appointments in his State, and Representatives in Congress would resent it and feel wronged if the President should go and appoint a Postmaster in Chicago, and these Collectors and Assessors that you used to have around her;!, without asking that Con

gressman. Yet the Congressman, by the Constitution, has no more to do with it than the child unborn, or the child of a Frenc'iman, unless his advice be asked. Still, Congress has praotiealiy

usut pod this. It is a conflict between the Legislative and Executive Departments of the Government the Presiden , on tho one side and Congress on the other whether it be Democratic or Republican Congress; anrl that ia one roan on why wti have not seen all Republicans right on the matter of civil service reform. Is anything better to be exp scted by turning out Gen. Grant, wh has resolutely taken hold of this matter and appointed an able Commission ? You know Joseph Jfedill is an lion ost man, if there is one to be found ; and we think so away from here. I knew a man is often abuseel in his own loct lity, but wet off on one side think he is o le of the best men among them. I say the Commission was composed of sue i men. " Jen, Grant is in favor of civil service reform, and I ask is it worth while to turn out Gen. Grant and his Cabinet so tha . Horace Greeley and John Cochrane ma;r rule the civil service 1 Applause. These men say it is not right to turn men out for political reasons. Are you so innocent as to suppose that should Horace Greeley become President he wot Id not turn out any of these 60,000 officers for political reasons? If he shojld not, what an infinite howl of disappointment and despair would go up from the Democratic party; yes, anc from these Liberal Republicans. Oh, let us believe the simplicity that all the le Liberal Republicans, if they should car y the election, would beg Greeley not to appoint any of them to office applause that they would hasten to Washington 'to tell Greeley, " Don't tur i out the Republican postmaster in our town ; he is a capable man, and I know no reason for turning him out except that he is a Republican, and I sho aid feel sorry, under tho circumstances, to take his place." Is it likely that they will talk in that way? Do the Democrats expect there will be a tuning out of office-holders for their sake? They have asked Greeley the que stion a good many times, and he responded to it when he said, " Do you think a man would invito his neighbors to help him raise a house, and then kic t them out after he had got the hot se built;" as much as to say, "Help me to get the house built and I will

giv j you a good feed." Is Horace Gree

ley the man to inaugurate civil service reform? Go to New York, if you think I taiareprent him ; spend a fortnight thero among those who have known him all his Iffe long, and they will tell

yot that a more creuutouB man aoes

not exist in that State one more likely to :e imposed upon by bad men. Look

at he men who gather around him. Ta-'iimany Republicans, among the rest of 1 he men in that city, are among his supporters and warmest friends, and he is l he friend of them also. Everybody kn ws this thero. I have in my mind

Their political

machinations and traitorous wire-pull-in; would prove just as inefficient to destisy the country. He dealt with some of Sir. Greeley's very absurd doctrines I relative to secession, and, speaking of th ) philosopher's advocacy of kindness to rebels, held that the Republican party hai been most generous ia dealing with th-Kje same rebels, and quoted Gen. Gi ant's words at Appomattox. ' That was not the spirit of hate, but of tho most extreme kindness. Every ore of them might have been hung, but ev ?n the leaders were allowed te escape, al hough not allowed to vote for a few yc :vrs. There was not a rebel who by la v was not permitted to vote, though al out 300 rebels were deprived of the privilege of holding office, and that was wiiat troubled Mr. Greeley most of anything. If that was what the South w:.uted, that disability should be allowed to rest, for it would not be decent to bi ing Davis, Toombs, and tho rest into the United Senate before the grass had fa rly overgrown the gravesof the Union soldiers. He was willing to shakehands w th the rebels if they had shaken bands w th the blacks and Union men at the South." LOCAL GOVERNMENT. Dealing with the question of local self-government, the speaker said : " They said that local self-government w u sufficient to carry out the constitutional amendments and protect the peop ej but local self-government brought a out the war, kept 4,000,000 of slaves in bondage and destroyed the liberty of speech in the South; and the people dwlored that local self-government should not wrong the people. He would k sen to the very letter of the Constitu

tion as it is now, which gave Congress p wor to enforce the amendments. It was the duty of (ingress to protect tha r gilts of the people against local sol fg vernment, if it sought to deprive t. iom of their rights. If tho Democrats g it into power they would repeal the L .ws passed under the amendments, for t iey were still fighting for the contest of slavery and the rebellion.

b o in niit gigantic, nud nefarious schemes for ' rauriulent legislation ever attempted to be )rpntratod in this country, and. Horace jrocloy and tho H ow York Tribune wero the lead and front of tho conspiracy. The ichetuc originated with Mr. (Iroeley in 1869, in lor the name ni: the "Mediterranean and OflontiU ftteaouihlp Company," whioh had

been chartered in Hew York, and Kr whioh aid was sought from Congress. The bill provided : First Fortbe guarantee by theOovemmont of $20,000,000 of bonds of the company, to be aeenred by depreciated Southern State bonds worth about filly cents on the dollar. Second For a sabeidr of several million acres of publio lands. Third Its object was of a humanitarian nature, namely: "The rehabilitation of' Southern domestic labor by the importation of a foreign element to take the place of the emancipated negro slaves f and tha bill bound the Government to pay $16 per head for each coolie, fellah or refugee placed by the company on Southern soil. The bogus character of the enterprise was sh-wn by a provision requ ring the Secretary of the Xavy to sell to the company worn-out vessels belonging to the Government. The New Tork Tribune supported the scheme both by telegrams from its Washington correspondent and in editorials. Hiram Walbridge, Horace Greeley's moat intimate personal friend, was President f the company. Bills were introduced into the Legislatures of numerous bonthern States to give an appearance of eenuineneas to the enterprise. Commercial Conventions were convened at the South, and Mr. 'Walbridge attended them, accompanied by Mr. Greeley. The Board of Commissioners ot the company represented all parts of the Union, particularly the South, but the Director oil tailed from Wall street. The Chicago Tribune, not being in the ring at that time, attacked the bill pending ia Congress, whereup m Mr. Whitelsw Beid wrote tne following letter to Mr. Greeley : " Dcab Mr. Griilet : The above (quoting the Tribune of Chicago), from thi Chicago Tribune, is a sample of a ) xxl many Higa we have been getting lately on account of this Mediterranean and Oriental Steamship Company. W. K." Henry L. Stewart, an intimate friends of Greeley, was the prime manager f the scheme in Congress. In a letter to the Secretary rf the company, under date of April 23, 1870, he said : " Mr. Brooks and Mr. Greeley both think it would do hurt for them to personalty be in Washington during the pending of the measure in tuo Senate. If it passes there, and their help is needed to get it through the House, they might be induced to act in person ; they both say the bill will pals ; and they both know many things that they don't tell oat of school." But the bill didn't peas. Garre'-t Davis discovered its villainous character, indignantly denounced it, and it was squelched. Mr. Greeley worked tor it behind the scenes; he held no stock in his own name, but his family was represented as follows : Marie L. Stewart, certificate -Arte 3, 4 and i, not paid for. Jd. Y. Greeley, wife of Horace Greeley, certificate Jio. 7, not paid for. S. E. Sinclair, certificate -flfo. 8, not paid

. .

a. if. utcveiana, vnje CJ . Jr. vievaana, broiker-in law of Horace Greeley, certificate Jfo. 9, 7iot paid for. The value of the land subsidy and of the profit to be derived by the company from the difforonoa between 'he worth of the depreciated Southern State bonds and the bonds to be guaranteed by the Government, was estimated to be $50,000,000. It was one of the most barefaced attempts to swindle the Government ever undertaken. It wa a fraud in its inception, proseeutod with the intent of plundering the United Bates Treaasury, -and to be done hypocritically in the name of a humanitarian purpose. Horace Greeley was at the bottom of the swindle, his family had aharea in the company, his Tribune supported the steal, and he persisted in defending and advocating it against the remonstrances of Mr. "Whitelaw Beid. Now that Mr. Greeley stands thus revealed before the country aa guilty of a bold attempt to defraud the National Treasury of millions

of dollars, what is there left or a reputainn already ruined politically? It ii a sickening picture of a hypocrito unmasked, of a politician dissrraced. and of a man who aban

doned honor and honesty in tho pure.uit of gain.
