Four hundred colored men belong to a Greeley and Brown club recently organized in Lloyds, Essex county, Virginia.

If the Blanton Duncan Louisville Democratic side show is not a success, it will not be for the want of an immense amount of puffing by the Grant journals.

The St. Paul (Minn.) Pioneer has published over seven thousaud names of Republicans who are going to vote for Greeley. So there is another wave rolling on.

Robert Lincoln, son of President Lincoln, is strongly for Greeley. In conversation recently with a bosom friend of his father, he remarked, "if father was living he would take an active part for Greeley."

In nine* counties of North Carolina there were 3,306 more votes polled than there are legal voters in those counties. This is double the majorities claimed for Caldwel1, the Radical candidate for Governor.

THE Hon. Samuel W. Moulton, of Illinois, writes Mr. Secretary Havens that he will come and address the Liberals and Democrats of this section of the country, at the Temple, one week from tonight. The Hon. Geo. R. Wendling will accompany him. Both these gentlemen are able and eloquent.

To SHOW our readers that we have been correct in our charges that the Louisville Convention is but a sideshow operated by the heuchnien of Grant, we append the following extract from a letter to the Springfield

Taylor, Wiliiamsville, Illinois: Thero is not a Democrat in this township so ignorant but who knows that the Louisville uioveineut is in the interest of, and expenses paid by CI rant and hi ring. One of uiy friends has told me, positively, that he was offered two hundred dollars to £o to Louisville as a delegate, but would not accept it.

We don't believe that there is a Democrat in this township but who has brains and common sense enough to know the same thing and when they assert otherwise it is prima facia evidence that they have been in the Admiuistratiou market

Partonis Life of Greeley.

This is one of the most notable books of the times, and decidedly one of the best written and remarkably interesting of American biographies. We do not propose to review it from a political standpoint, for it is not designed as a mere campaign book, but a work of standard value, from the pen of a writer of established reputation, whose biographies of eminent Americans, are well known and highly valued. Mr. Partou's writings are all attractive on account of the care be exercises in collecting incidents and the ingenuity with which he weaves them into the story of a life, to relieve the tedium of dry facts and monotonous narration.

Such a work cannot be reviewed in the compass of an ordinary book notice, and it is therefore best to simply inform the reader, that it was commenced several years ago, before Mr. Greeley was thought of as a Presidential candidate, and faithfully written as one volume in the series of Parton's biographies, simply for its, general interest and intimate connection with the history of the country, for near half a century. Commencing with his birth, and following him through all the vicissitudes of early years of trial and adversity, the school which developed the wonderful power that marks his riper years and carried bim forward to the time when the people honored him with the nomination fortiie highest place in our land. Not written in the interest of party, it is a full and impartial history, entirely free from partisan bias, and worthy a place in every library in the land. As a book of reference, a guide to youug men and an incentive to renewed activity for every asaspiring mind, it is invaluable.

The volume is a large duodecimo, elegantly bound and appropriately illustrated, wad is sold through the canvassing agent! of the National Publishing Company, Cincinnati. All things considered, and all predilections aside, it appears to us one of the best and most generally desirable books of the year.

THE reception to be given Mr. Voorhees Tuesday evening of next week will amply reward him for his dish of crow, be it ever so naseating, as the Radicals insist it will be.

Gen. Kilpatrick Vindicated by Secretary Seward. We were shown yesterday by Gen. Kilpatrick a letter addressed to him by the Hon. William H. Seward, which completely exonerates the General from the charge recently made by the New York Times. We are requested to publish the letter in full. It is as follows:

AUBURN, Aug. 20,1872.

MY DEAR GENERAL You err in supposing that newspaper reports prejudicial to your character and fame while in your mission to Chili have arrested my attention.

In my retirement here I have been quite abstracted in such matters. I do not learn from your letter that any question is raised about the propriety of your appointment to that mission. However that may be, it gives me great pleasure to say that the appointment was not solicited by you, but was tendered by myself, while you were yet in the army, after full consultation with the Secretary of War and the approval of the President.

You bring to my notice that you are now charged with having taken with you to Chili an improper character and introduced her into society there. I remember that such allegation was brought to the notice of the Department of State, and that I directed an inquiry to be made in some shape concerning it, but in what particular way I do not now recall. The result, however, was such as to convince the Department of State and the President that the charge was unfounded. But the records and documents of the inquiry, like all others regarding your mission to Chili, remain iu the archives of the Department of State. Having no copies of them near me, I can of course only give my personal recollection, but I do not now recall any matter in which you failed to receive the approval and commendation of the President while occupying the misson referred to. Very truly youre,

WILLIAM H. SEWARD,

ANDERSON, IND., August 31.—Some thieves attempted to rob the store of H. C. Quick, at Frankton, last night, and one was arrested named Wm. Busson. Detectives gained the confidence of the thieves, and entered the store at twelve o'clock at night. Deputy Sheriff Metcalf, who was to make the arrest, shot one of the detectives, and he died this nioruing.

CHICAGO, Aug. 31.—A Times reporter has interviewed one Cook, who figured with Stanley, the Herald correspondent. He says Noe, who made the serious charges against Stanley, is a rascal, and that he was a servant of Stanley and jealous of his reputation, and has concocted the stories to injure him. Cook is now living at Yorkville, near Chicago, and is connected with a newspaper.

An old couple were yesterday arrested in Lemont, near this city, charged with causing the death of their only child, by neglect. They deny the charges.

Wm. Sweigert, who lived on a farm adjoining Kain Higgins', the old man recently murdered at Winnetka, was arrested last evening as the murderer. He made resistance.

Ex-Senator Doolittie has published a letter in a Milwaukee paper, denying the allegations adduced by somebody and published in the New York Times to the effect that Doolittie exacted money for his influence while in the United States Senate. He admits that he accepted an interest with the common attorney in cotton trading, but says there was nothing said or done which if known to the whole world would affect his honor.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.—A dispatch from Oswego says: The brig Orion, of Hamilton, Ontorio, Capt. Dunn, freighted with stone, from Cleveland to Pictow Springs, sprung a leak on Lake Ontario yesterday and sunk in fifteen minutes. The crew, seven in number, made the land, a distance of thirty miles, in an open yawl boat through a heavy sea. Probably other disasters have occurred on the lake.

NEW YORK, August 31.—Lieut. Col. Broome, of the Navy Yard here, has received orders from the Secretary of the Navy to visit the State prisons in several States, with the view of gathering information with regard to their government, discipline, etc. The object is to improve the disciplinary system employed at the naval stations. He will leave on a tour, Monday.

NEW YORK, August 31.—Yesterday money was at four to five, mostly four, and closed at three. Exchange heavy but lower. Gold heavy, but lower, in consequence of the weakness of exchange, the result in the turn of further recent negotiations in Europe of American railway loans. Governments, despite easier terms in money and a fractional improvement in bonds in London, were heavy at lower, sympathizing with gold. Stocks heavy, with few exceptions, and lower, but covered aud closed without material variation from previous day. Southern securities quiet generally and steady new South Carolinas 25£c.

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.--Anotherportion of the Tribune reporter's story concerning the manner of conducting affairs in Bloomingdale Lunatic Asylum was published this morning. The reporter relates four days of his experince in that institution. His narrative shows a general mismanagement and also shows that greater facilities exist for getting sane men into the asylum than out of it. During the four days, he was kept in a ward for excited patients, surrounded by dahgerous maniacs, when from his symptoms being those merely of idiocy, he could have been kept in quiet wards.

The general treatment of patients is very harsh and cruel. Several instances of brutality are related by the reporter of imbecile boys who were exposed naked to the sun, in an iron cage of brutal treatment to the old and blind idiots protesting against the rude treatment of violent keepers, in hurling harmless idiots half way across the room for the offense of not knowing which way to turn. The reporter states that the cells are close, bedsnncomfortable, food scanty and foul, baths filthy, and the attendants rude and vulgar.

His experience in those few days were such that had he not been nerved with the consciousness, that he was present for a purpose of a work of simple justice and truth, he could not have endured it. Had he felt his Jimprisonmeut hopeless and aimless had he had no thoughts to busy and iuterest bim but his own wrongs and sufferings, the despair of escape alone, would have driven him wild in a month.

The Tribune, editorally commenting on the reporter's statement, says that the whole medical profession connected with the institution is at the beck and call of all who can pay and in the commitment the action of the doctors is simply criminal.

WASHINGTON, August 31.—The concract for the /semi-monthly mail service between San Francisco, China and Japan, for four years from the 1st of October, has been signed by the officers of the Pacific Mail. The Postmaster General signs when he returns to Washington.

CHICAGO, August 31.—Hart & Clark's flour mill and Ball's saw mills, at Flushing, were burued this morning. Loss of the flour mill $25,000 saw mill, $10,000. Insured. It was the work of an incendiary. [Special Dispatch to the Indianapolis Sentinel.l

CRAWKORDSVILLE, Aug. 30.—Yesterday, August 29th, the Liberals made their first grand display here upon very short notice. Two hundred lamps were insufficient to supply the demand, and all were borne by voters to a man. The meeting was addressed by Colonel Stiles, of Chicago.

This evening, after numerous hand bills aud posters were distributed liberally throughout the country fi.r the last three weeks 'by the Republican party's Paste Brigade, commanded by Thin Tom Scott, a government official—doorkeeper of the Senate—a torch-light procession was raised consisting of two hundred and eighty-four lamps, fifty-six of which were borne by negroes, one hundred and forty-six by boys and-eighty-two by men. Two little girls led the procession, with the negroes in the center. A balloon was raised bearing Grant and Wilson's names, but it soon fell to the ground, a bad omen for their party next fall. Their efforts to convert old Montgomery area failure. [Special telegram to the£Indianapolis Journal.]

ANDERSON, IND., August 30.—A very unfortunate affair occurred in this county last night, whereby a man lost his life. About the town of Frankton, eight miles north of this city, is a gang of men who have become notorious, during the past few years, as thieves and counterfeiters. Efforts have been made, at various times, to root them out, but with only partial success. A few days ago, the Messrs. Quick, merchants of that place, suspicious that their store and safe would be robbed, employed a detective to work up the plans of the burglars. A detective named Page was put on the track, and he also employed another, named Shoemaker, to assist him.

Plans were perfected whereby the two detectives and three other men were to rob the store and two farmers near Frankton. Yesterday the Sheriff of the county was notified of the affair, who, with a posse of. men, went to Frankton last night. About twelve o'clock M., Page gave his signal that burglars were in the store, and immediately Deputy Sheriff Metcalf and bis posse effected an entrance. According to the arrangement of the detectives, Shoemaker, who was inside the store with the burglars, was to have got out of the building before the officers shCfcild enter, but failing in performing his part of the programme, he suffered the penalty.

When the Deputy Sheriff and his men entered the store, oneof the men, named Dougherty, commauded, "the first man who moves will be shot." This seems to hax« disconcerted Shoemaker, the detective, and he at once displayed a lantern and threw up his right arm as if he was going to shoot. At this point Deputy Sheriff Metcalf, supposing that the detective was out of the building, and supposing the man to be one of the burglars about to fire on the party, fired on the man, the ball taking effect under the right arm. The man only said, "You have shot the wrong man I must die," and swooned away, falling into the arms of Mr. Metcalf. He died at 6 o'clock this morning. William Beeson, the burglar, was captured and was to-day bound over to court in the sum of two thousand dollars.

No blame or censure can be laid upon Mr. Metcalf. Any man would have done the same thing under the same circumstances. Shoemaker has a mother living at Centerville, this State, where his body will be sent. [Condensed from the Associated Press Report.]

WATCH HILL, R. I., August 30.—The propeller Metis, Captain Burden, was wrecked six miles off this shore this morning. A dreadful storm prevailed the latter part of the night. About 4 o'clock the propeller was struck by a schooner, knocking her bottom in. She immediately became filled. The passengers were aroused and warned to secure life preservers. In a short time the lower part of the boat, engffies, etc., went down, about five miles from the shore, a large number of the passengers and crew climbed upon the upper deck, which parted from the head and floated. The waves rolled high, and the rain continued, but the upper works floated and struck the shore just below the Ocean House about 8 o'clock this morning.

The cutter Moccasin went to the relief of the ill-fated vessel, and returned with a number of desti. About 70 passengers out of 110 are presumed to have been lost.

IT is really quite melancholy to mark a Senator of the United States, and that Senator named Henry Wilson, going about the country frightening men, women and children and if anybody has fits in consequence we suppose "Our Henry" will be at least morally responsible. At Hudson, the other night, the bugaboo which he exhibited was unusually large, somber, and terrible. Should Mr. Greeley be elected, he declared that there would be another rebellion—this time in Washington! By these, untimely fears Mr. Wilson, we apprehend, will lead those who don't know better to doubt his personal courage. We who do know him are ready to declare him one of the boldest men hi the country. Witness bis denial of his old Know Nothingism.—JV. Y. Tribune.

Columbus Dispatch to Cin. Enquirer,

Death of an Old Newspaper. The Weekly Ohio Statesman, it is understood, will in the future be made up from the matter previously used by the Evening Dispatch. This being the case the Statesman ceases to be a Democratic paper, as the Dispatch is professedly Independent, with leaning strongly against the Democratic, Congressional and county ticket. Thus the famed old Statesman, once a paper in the land, with more political influence in its palmy days than any paper in the West, is now made up of the leavings of a paper not Democratic. In remembrance of th©. pfiftt, the paper ought to ha.v3 a decent die of it, which it will not get.

THE POSTAL CARD BLUNDER.

An Alleged Job for the National Bank Note Company. WASHINGTON, Aus. 25.—The opinion of Attorney General Williams, Saturday, in which he decides that the Postmaster General has no authority under the new postal code to contract for postal cards, there being no specific appropriation made for that purpose, and he having no warrant for using other appropriations therefor, was brought, about by a quarrel amonsj certain engraving companies who allege that the whole postal card business was a job to be played into the hands of the National Bauk Note Company.

It is "known that the sample card, which was described in these dispatches and adopted by the department, was got up by the National Bank Note Company of New York, and that the department was in the act of issuing advertisements asking for bids for furnishing the card as per adopted sample, to be opened in a certain time, the limit of which was so short that no company could prepare a sample to accompany their bids. Thus, it is claimed, the National Bank Note Company being the only one to furnish a sample, the contract would be awarded to them. The competing companies being assured of this, sought methods to kill the whole business, proper competition not being allowed, and secured legal assistance iu the matter. That assistance was to the effect that the Postotfice Department had no power to get up the cards without an appropriation, and the department was so informed, which asked an opinion of the Attorney General, who decided as above.

The postal cards will not, therefore, be issued until an appropriation is made therefor by Congress at its next sessiou. It was unintentional to pass the postal bill without the appropriation, but in the desire of the Administration party to pass the Ku-Klux and Enforcement bills, that and other laws were passed in a hurry, without sufficient consideration.

"MACAULEY" writes from New Yolk to the Rochester Democrat: "If there has been anything of late years that looked like madness, it has been the way the Lelands have wasted their fortunes. As a family they have been famous for hotel keeping, and at one time three or four first-class houses were in their hands. Their end, however, has been disastrous: the enormous profits were wasted in foolish speculation, and thus, after handling immense fortunes, they came out poor.
