MB. GREELEY will talk to the farmers of Suffolk county, New York, on the occaflioh' of their annual gathering, next week.

A SMALL "CROW," like CRAVENS, lldes glibly and gracefully down the ^Journal's fastidious esophagus. But a J|big "crow" like GREELEY, cannot begin jfto enter there.

•I. SPANISH battles are like castles "Spain. The last "great engagement" resulted in avictory overthe Carlists. Loss eight killed, thirty wounded I

I THE French Government called for a jj^l^an of three milliards of francs and four milliards are already offered. German capitalists are large takers.

THE Eastern States rejoice in an abun dant supply of peaches, which mitigates in some degree, their regset at the almost total failure of the mackerel crop.

THE Philosopher has engaged quarto: &>r the season at Eaiit Hampton. This notwithstanding the exceeding sinfulness oFsojourning by the deep, deep sea.

l- A GLANCE at the personnel of the 'possum and "Liberal" combination in this State is sufficient to Batisfy any thinking man that the canal ring is its controlling element.

IN swallowing CRAVENS and lighting GREELEY, the Journal simply enter a protest.against the size of the "Liberal" mouthful, not against the character of the food.

IT 18 a noteworthy coincidence of opinion tha all the men whom GRANT has removed from office, by reason of malfeasance thefein, think GREELEY ought I rcfrLba-sIeeted.

A COPY of that "message" which rebel agent HOLCOMBE says he received at Niagara, in 1804, from Mr. VOORIIEES, would be "mighty interesting reading." -Can the Journal furnish it?

TERRE HAUTE will not feel deeply humiliated at having but one citizen whose name figures in the rebel archives) so far as those interesting documents have been made public.

WOULD it be quite convenient for Mr. JVOORHICES to explain the nature of the '•"message" which HOLCOMBE, rebel agent at Niagara, says he received from Mr. fefyooBBBBsin 1864?

THERE are not wanting reasons why Mr.

VOORHEES should take kindly to GLTEELEY. Both were original secession ists, nnd both wanted the government to

a disgraceful peace with armed rebels.

$ HERE is an item from IT. G'sSaturday "talk, that shows how long and cautiously he has been crawling toward the Dcmo|%i"Cratic embrace: He said in his talk with

ft

ASHLEY that as soon last fall as he bej- came aware of the course of the Demoera tic parly with reference to his nomiatiQn he (GREELEY) attended to the is"RUe of the prospectus of the Tribune per-

BOnally, and purposely made it such that r'the subscribers could not accuse him of PJack of faith.

WHEN Mr. Cravens was made elector, ""was it understood that "enmity to. and envy of, Morton was his weakness?' If do,, why was he appointed.—[Democratic /Exchange.

Ths.explanation is easy. That little sop was thrown between his gaping jaws in the vain hope to stop his everlasting whining for office, ilis varoclous maw took it in as a big bull dog snaps up a fly. But it didn't satisfy an appetite that nothing lie is likely to obtain will ever appease. Hence he offers .himself to the "Liberals," by whom lie hopes his hunger maybe more tenderly commiserated.

THE specials have interviewed an eminent Bourbon, Judge VAN ALLEN, of New York, and he says "the delegates to the Louisville, Ky., convention, to be held September 3d, intend to make a ,straight-out Democratic nomination. 5 Throughout the country there are many

Democrats who are not satisfied with the ^'nomination .of a Republican at Baltimore, and who look upon the result of the Baltimore convention as a move to "the final disbandment of the Democratic ^.jcsgaiiization. There are thousands upon thousands of Democrats all over the country who will not vote for GREELEY junder any circumstances, nor will they vote for GRANT.''

IT HAVING been rumored that he Journal was about to abandon its opposition to GREELEY and become a supporter of the 'possum movement, that paper takes occasion to remark: I "In the matter of turning over to Greeley we desire it understood now and forever, that this paper will not support him for the Presidency. Others may do lis they please, but we will at least preserve "our consistency and self-respect even if that course should cost us the temporary loss of popular approval. We cannot afford to purchase the noisy shouts of the next few weeks at the price of manhood and honor?"

While not intended, it is fair to presume, as an assault on Mr. VOORHEES, there is a scathing rebuke for him in that paragraph. If it means anything, it is that Mr. VOORHEES lias sacrificed his •'self-respect," his "manhood," his "honor."

TFLB Washington Star of last Saturday editorially of Gen. PLEASANTON'S credibility as a witness "To those who kfl General PLEASANTON, his positive '"averments of facts do not weigh more than a pound a piece, and when it comes to his impressions, they are entirely too attenuated in value to be counted. When

PLEASANTON was seeking to get the several

(departments divorced from the Treasury- Department and put under his own control, it will be remembered that he jutiorward similar unfounded statemenu SiHStspect to the wishes of the Prcsidenfcin the premises. If he ever approached SCHURZ on the subject named, it was ^probably for his own purposes. Tekingtitc probabilities of the case into consid^Hktion, it is quite unlikely that President GRANT would have put himself into ihp power of a man he kicked out of office p» unceremoniously as he did

THE colored men of Indiana will give CHARLES SUMNER'S letter the answer that it deserves. Let the august Senator listen, and he'll "hear suthin' drap."-

As THE Pope is to the honest believer in the Roman Catholic faith, so CHARLES SUMNER thinks he is to the colored people of America. He will get rid of this delusion by-and-by.

THE Journal thinks "there is great want of political backbone in the Indianapolis Sentinel," because "that paper is now predicting a Democratic defeat in North Carolina."

SUMNER'S letter is intended for North Carolina. He has fired such guns before on similar occasions, and they have been torifio in their back-action, leaving him oil his back in the mud.

IT IS reported that Frank Blair will again stump Indiania in company with Bayless Hanna.—[Journal.

The Republican State Central Committee could well afford to defray the expenses of such an arrangement.

TnE country poured out its masses, yesterday, and the day before into the Capital City, the only attraction being a well-advertised show. The hotels and streets of Indianapolis were crowded as they arc at State Fair times.

IT is a fitting time to remember that while GRANT was conquering a peace by pounding the life out of the rebellion, SUMNER was piling obstacles in LINCOLN'S way, and GREELEY was trying to dicker with rebel emissaries at Niagara,

THE Germania, an old and prominent Democratic paper, of Cleveland, hauls down GREELEY and BROWN and joins the rush for GRANT and WILSON. The editor is threatened with personal iolence for his change of front,

JOHN D. DEFREES, whom Mr. GREELEY'S Tribune describes as "a Christian gentlemen," is reported to be so extremely busy at "Liberal" headquarters, in Washington, that he can't possibly spare time to go to Detroit to plead to that old indictment.

IF, when the war broke out, there had been a billion such men as SUMNER and GSEELEY, in the country, and no GRANT, the South would now be a great slave empire and SUMNER wouldn't be writing his malicious epistles to the colored people.

ANOTHER afflictive dispensation has fallen on the grand, old Republican party. JASON BAZOO BROWN has joined it! Well, the party is strong and healthy. Its digestive apparatus will be equal to the task of assimilating even this most unnatural aliment.

SUMNER in his letter sneers at the achievments of the Union army in their effect upon the colored race. He thinks his long-winded quotations from the ancient Greeks and Romans freed the slaves! He has no idea that the eloquence of exploding powder, had anything to do with the destruction of slavery.

TIIE TWO Republics, a City of Mexico newspaper with which hundreds of our citizens are familiar through the politeness of Minister NELSON, contains an account of the release of an American citizen from prison where he had been immured by the government for four months on false charges. It will be in order for Minister NELSON to explain what he was about while one of his countrymen was being treated in that manner.

THE New York Tribune is industriously employed in swearing Mr. GREELEY clear of the paternity of articles quoted from its files, abusive of the late Democratic party. "Mr. GREELEY didn't write this." "Mr. GREELEY never saw that till it was printed." "Mr. GREELEY was absent when the other appeared." Such, in substance, are the repudiating protests with which the Tribune teems Really, one begins to doubt whether a party by the name of GREELEY was ever connected with the Tribune.

THERE are still left some honest Democrats who think as Mr. VOORHEES thought in May last. The Ohio State Journal states that in a recent conversation with a prominent citizen of Ohio, Hon. A. P. EPGERTON, of Indiana, who was formerly a Democratic member of Congress from the Toledo Destrict, declared that it would be impossible for any Democrat to vote for GREELEY who had that regard for political consistency which every honest man should entertain. For that reason, he said, he should not do so.

TnE perspiring brow and horny hands of that sun-browned toiler, AUSTIN M. PUETT, were not duly respected by the delegates of the Labor Reform party in council, in New York yesterday. Strange to relate, and impossible to believe, AUSTIN was suspected of political trickery! and was not credited with that sturdy devotion to the interests of labor that has always characterized him and others of his type. It is sad to be thus cruelly misunderstood, and AUSTIN'S martyrdom should be celebrated with floods of sympathetic tears. To doubt the sincerity of his motives is abase sort of heresy that will find no encouragement on the soil of Indiana, watered, as it has been bv his sweat for lo! these many vcars.

THE North Carolina correspondent of t'le New York Times estimates the Republican majority in that State, in the election which occurs to-morrow, at 12,000. In all doubtful contests of this character, it is best not to be too sanguine. One who has not set his heart on a great victory enjoys it the more heartily if it happen to come while his disappointment is far less bitter in case of defeat. There arc strong grounds for hojie of Republican success, in this instance, and leading journals of both parties seem to anticipate such a result. But there is always time enough for exultation over a victory after it is fully assured. It is the habit of The Express to "count chickens" after they arc safely out of the shell.

THE present editor of The Express says that two years ago he knew verv well that Mr. Dunn would be defeated by Mr. Voorhees.—Journal. I

That is entirely untrue The present cditer of The Express, nor any past or future editor of The Express, has said, does say or is going to say anything of the sort. Here is all that this paper has said on that point: "Its editor did not believe at any time during the canvass of ISTOthat Mr. Dunn would be elected."

To anybody but the Journal there is a vast difference between not believing that a thing will happen, and knowing very well that it will not happen. Such misrepresentations as the above are not calculated to improve the reputation of any paper indulging in them. Even in a political campaign it is possible to be fair and no amount of excitement can be pleaded in justification of attributing to another words that he never uttered, words which do gross injustice to the

It is thought that Mr. SUMNER will launch his long threatened letter, to-day, in order to influence the North Carolina election. It is a.habit of Mr. SUMNER, and men of his type, to imagine that his personal influence is an immense power in the land. One would think "the distinguished Senator" had received lessons in this line that he would not easily forget. For instance, his speeches were sown broadcast over New Hampshire, and were followed by large administration gains! Again, he discharged a broadside at the Philadelphia Convention intended to "beat GRANT but it only intensified the enthusiasm of that convention for the object of Mr. SUMNER'S unlimited abuse. Mr. SUMNER may write and speak till his and hand tongue fail, but so long as he shows that he lias no higher motive than personal hatred, he will write and speak in vain. He was powerful for good when his motives were pure and high. He is powerless for evil when his motive is unworthy, narrow, low. When he calls on the colored people to vote with the late

Democratic party for the tool of the men who have been and are the bitterest foes of the colored race, he will have a response that will shake even his incomparable self-esteem. If the angel GABRIEL were to add his voice to SUMNER'S in calling the colored voters to desert the Republican party, the appeal would have no more effect than the idle wind.

P. S.—Since the above was in type the telegraph has brought Mr. SUMNER'S letter—too late for very extended notice in this issue. The letter to Mr. SUMNER was unquestionably written by some person in the GREELEY interest. No Republican could write such words to CHARLES SUMNER. Mr. SUMNER'S reply is more demagogical than statesmanlike it is as unfair towards General GRANT as the most inveterate hate could make it The Senator sneers at General GRANT'S services and the benefits he has conferred on the colored race. But he doesn't state the great fact that GREELEY was an original secessionist, advocating the right of the Southern States to go in peace and build up their proposed slave empire! Nor does SUMNER state another great fact, material in this controversy, namely That while GRANT was fighting the battles which gave freedom to the slaves,

GREELEY was hobnobbing with rebel emissaries, trying to patch up a shameful peace which should leave oU the slaves still in bondage. There are many other omissions in SUMNER'S letter—omissions that an honest man ought not to have made— which will be noticed in due time.

4ASerious

Mistake.

Many journals, including some of great prominence, and representing both sides of the present political canvass, make the seriouB mistake of resorting to gross exaggeration, and, not unfrequently, to di rect falsehood, in the advocacy of principles and the support of candidates. With out pausing to discuss the question in its moral aspects, to show how such a course degrades an editor in his own estimation and in public opinion, it is enough for the present purpose to remark that this thing DOES NOT PAY. The most valuable part of a newspaper property is that in tangible something which is called its "good will." Let every tangible portion of such an estate be destroyed by fire or flood, and a well established journal resumes its course, the next day, as strong as ever. Its "good will," its standing in public estimation, saves it from the ruin that overtakes any other species of prop erty under such circumstances. And the best part of this "good will" is character —reputation for reliability, honesty, fairness. This can only be secured and preserved by a truthful, manly course. Ev ery refusal to right a wrong, every undeserved attack upon the character of any person in public or private life, jeopardizes this reputation and thus impairs the market value of the newspaper es tablishment venturing upon such a course, If the most unprincipled man on earth owned a newspaper and desired to make the business pay, in the long run, he couldn't do any other thing half shrewd, in a business point of view, as to carefully guard and build up, day by day, and year after year, the character of his journal for truthfulness, fairness, decency, courtesy, and all those qualities which combine to make up a firstrate reputation.

TnE Times and Chronicle is responsi ble for the statement that,GREELEY— who was weak in Ohio at the start—is constantly weakening. With one or two exceptions, the original Liberals of that State repudiated him at once. Democratic leaders, since his nomination Baltimore, are coming out for GRANT, and many thousands of the rank and file will either support him or "winter their votes."

MR. ARISTIDE BIENVENU, of New Orleans, like Othello, has a handsome wife. Like Othello, again, he is madly jealous of her. The other evening, as Air. A. B. sat on his veranda, Mrs. A. B, swept down the street rr entered the house. A few paces belm: her was a party by the name of Adams, who, naturally enough, glanced at the beautiful wo man as she went up the steps. "!5ienvenu disappeared into the house, reappeared festooned with revolver, and started after Adams, whom he quickly overtook "You followed my wife," quoted B. "I didn't," answered A. At this the Bien venu blood boiled. Without a word, he unmasked the batteries he carried in his hip-pockets and opened fire. It is fair to presume that his anger spoiled his skill Seven shots resulted in the disappearance of one of Mr. Adams' great toes, the shattering of his ankle, and the presence of a bullet in his groin. He will speedily recover. Nowadays, when Mrs. Bienvenu walks abroad, she has the whole street to herself. She is, indeed, fair to look upon but sight-seeing at the possible cost of one's life is not an engrossing amusement. *,

THEP-E is one paragraph in Dr. Greeley's letter to Frank Blair, written upon the occasion of his election to the Senate by the Missouri Legislature in 1871, wliich seems to require explanation. It is as follows: "General, I long ago learned that principles were inconvenient, and that he who makes his own aggrandisement his aim must wear them loosely or put them aside altogether. I doubt that you would ever have attained your present dizzy elevation had you permitted yourself to be encumbered with them. But I am old-fashioned, and cannot change my camp or my flag with your admired facility."

The explanation which Dr. Greeley's attitude as the candidate of the "Democratic party" for President seems to require is suggested by the last sentence in the preceding extract.

IN a recent speec hat Des Moines,one J. P. Dawson, a Democratic-liberal, preached that the South should repudiate every dollar of its State debts. Of course it showed, in the opinion of Greeley men, as a measureof "reconciliation and not only that bat help to repudiate the national debt also, and put a premium on treason by pensioning all the needy exConfederates in the country. The "Liberals" have, no donbt, arranged a very promising programme^ but the_ honest masses will see that it is not carried ont. —{Chicago Journal.

A GENTLEMAN who recegtlv saw ,Carl Schun in St. Louis, says that in ordinary conversation he cannot speak half a dosen sentences on political matters withou

POLITICAL.

THE CAMPAIGN IN WISCONSIN—SPEECH OF SENATOR CARPENTER. MILWAUKEE, July 29.—The campaign on the Bepublican side opened at Madison, Wisconsin, .'Saturday evening under favorable auspice. About 2,000 people assembled in front of the Gapitol and were addressed by Gov. Washburne and Senator Carpenter. The Senator said when he came back to this State he heard a good deal said of Greeleyism in different places. In Milwaukee he heard they had it bad, but on getting there, was told there was little, but they heard there was much in Milwaukee, where he had not discovered it. Like the horizen and end of a rainbow it was hard toget at. This was a strong canvass for the election of a President on one side was the candidate of theRepublicon,party which had put down the greatest rebellion of history, emancipated four million slaves, established an excellent financial system, drawn a railroad through to the Pacific, secured equal rights to men of all classes and races, triumphed over greater obstacles and made a clearer record than any party ever had. He would not insult the old party to which he once belonged and for which he felt the tenderness of a naturalized citizen for his native land, by holding it responsible for the ticket. On the other side when a man had been forced on it as a candidate who had never belonged to the party, on the pretense that the condition of the country made it necessary. From 1861 to 1865 when the national existence was trembling in the balance, when rebel artillery was turned on the Capitol, there was nothing in the state of the nation to make the Democratic party give up the organization. In 1864 it met and resolved that war had failed to restore the union, and nominated a strictly party ticket.

However, I am told by Gratz Brown that the country was in danger so much greater than that of the rebellion that the fires of war paled before it, and that in the interest of public good, the Democratic xty had dissolved and died. He proto tell how this party was brought to death. In August and September last there was a ring of thieves in New York known as the Tammany organization, which had such thorough control of the city government of New York that they could do just as they pleasad, and transferred the peoples' money by millions from the public coffers. Finally the corruption was so flagrant and foul that it came to the surface and the people of New York became aroused. Ihey held a meeting and raised a committee of seventy to investigate the Tammany frauds. Great difficulties were encountered, as it was found the courts were utterly corrupted by the ring. City officers and authorities were in their hands, and they were backed up by the Governor of the State. They exposed the most guilty frauds. They tried in vain to bring the rascals to justice. They appealed to the State. The people repudiated Tammany by an immense majority. Anew Legislature was chosen, and a majority against the ring passed bills to secure reform and deliver the city from thieves. The Democratic Governor returned their bills, there not being strength enough to pass them over his veto, and the city was again delivered over to the rule of Tammany. After this victory the ring this spring were again in council and found nerve to look around. Like Satan of old, they exclaimed—"What though the field be lost, all is not lost."

They had still control of the corrupt courts, the city government and the head of the State. They took new courage, they looked to the national capital. If a single court house would yield a $9,000,000,000 corruption, found in a city of one million inhabitants^ what could they not realize from the buildings of a great nation? If they could plunder $20,000,000 from one city in four years, what could they not reach if they could gain possession of the United States government, and have 40,000,000 people, with all the court houses, postoffices, custom houses, and the treasury of the nation? They began to reconstruct a political scheme to extend their operations. Meantime, in the Senate, a few Senators, with Schurz at the head and Tipton at the tail, with Sumner, Trumbull and Fenton between, formed a cabal and styled themselves "Liberal Republicans," which means pretty free from any Republicanism, and with a few discontented men who had

failed to get office or keep it as long as they wanted to, combined tor the Liberal Republican ticket. .Tammany saw this small clique could accomplish little for themselves, but could be made a nucleus of organization for their purpose. Then came the convention at Cincinnati. Fenton went there as the agent of Tammany, and the New York ring took possession of it. Tammany

Bet

up the whole job and

made the nominations. The lamentations of Schurz after the job was fixed,were more mournful than those of Jeremiah, and when, a few weeks after, he attended the caucus at New York, and it was sought to stiffen him up so he could stand it, he said no man had so much reason to regret Greeley's nomination as he had he was surrounded by bad men lie expected no reform from his hands,

Mr. Carpenter then demanded when and where Grant had been guilty of what was called "personal government." Andy Johnson had shown whaMhat was, when he turned against his party, and denounced Congress as a revolutionary body, hanging on the verge of the government, and attempted to carry out his policy in defiance of law. No such charges could be made against President Grant. Mr. Carpenter then very effectually replied to the charge that the President had surrounded himself with a military ring, which made access to him difficult, ana which should arouse alarm among a people justly sensative as to military encroachments. Some good Republicans regretted that there was so little style and ceremony about the White House, and would like more fuss and feathers, better than the simple farmerlike style in which the President lived Instead of batteries of artillery, and marching files, and sentinels, and bayonets, which from the hue and cry around, it might be supposed were stationed to keep Schurz and Sumner out, there was a good Irish Republican at the outer door, who gave visitors directions what course to take then a small boy will admit you through another door, and within, a quiet gentleman would be found seated at a table, who greets visitors of all classes civilly and hears what they have to say, and that is the despot. [Laughter.] This man who has "overthrown liberty," "upset the constitution," and "destroyed your crops." (Renewed laughter.) "lie talks good English and is perfectly accessible to the poorest as well as the richest, about any grievance or any matter that may be brought to him. The terrible "military ring" is composed of three quiet gentlemen without a sword or shoulder strap one is Major Babcock, of the engineer cores, by law Superintendent ef Public Buildings and Grounds, who has his office in the white house, the other two are Generals Dent and Porter, one about thirty-five, the other thirty years old, from General Sherman's staff, serving by his permission with the President. He had a great deal of writing and other business to do, in which assistance was needed. These men had served near the President in times that tried men's souls he had implicit confidence in them they loved him as every man does who has served with him. [Applause.] And it was a pleasure for tnem to do anything they could for him. He could not see anything so dangerous in this "military ring" that a _Major General like Schurz need be afraid of. If there was talk of Grant'segotism, the charge was so utterly absurd that it was hardly worth referring

No man had less egotism, pretence or self-assertion. He happened to be in Washington when some of the Generals left there to take command of the Potomac army. McOellan started with some seventeen wagons of baggage, with great parade and solemnity. Grant came down from the second story of Willard's hotel with a little carpet bag in his hand, took an omnibus and rode to the depot, thence by boat went to the army. Perhaps it was on account of his style of baggage the rebels have had such a dislike of carpet baggers since. [Laughter] Yet Sumner accuses him of egotism, if he had it bad enough to deserve Sumner's censure he would vote against him and let the party go. The charge was false. It was dined that Grant was an obstinate man. He heard the whole of a case and made np his mind. If he thought he was right he was firm, unmoved by threat* but if some new fact was presented, some reason shown to convince his judgment, he would change instantly. This was the difference between him and a self opinionated obstinate man. Considering the situation of the country and the rariety of interests to be considered, what would become of the nation without a man of soae firmness at the fctad

of affairs? How was it, by the way, in relrd to Greeley on this point, with his 'ourierism, free love, protection, anti-Ku Klux, and his many vagaries and vacillations? What is there" he lus not adhered to through life.

The San Domingo matter was next discussed by the Senator, who said an agent was sent to investigate, and making a good report, a treaty was drafted and submitted to the Senate. A hue and cry was raised and charges made that it was a corrupt iob. Commissioners, of whom were Ben Wade, who hates villainy with perfect hatred, and Dr. Howe, a particlar friend of SI

a ular vestigate the whole matter. They completely exonerated the President and his agents from the charges of corruption, and made a glowing report in favor of annexation. The President simply sent this report to Congress and left the matter with them. The ireaty was rejected and the matter was dropped. He could see nothing wrong in what lie had done. It might turn out that his military view of the great advantages of the position of the island in case of another rebellion or a war, to prevent smuggling supplies to our enemies from the West Indies, as was done during the late war, was correct and the island worth having. We could not be, like a dog the manger, and neither take the island ourselves nor allow any one else to assume its protection.

After a few remarks on the sale of arms, and showing that the Germans had equal chances with France, he took up the civil service reform, saying it was too sick a subject, and he would dismiss it with slight discussion. There were disappionted Republican office-seekers and Democrats hungering and thirsting for office, hurrahing for Greeley with the expectation of having their political stomachs filled, when the doctrine of civil service reformers was that, no man should be turned out of office for political cause. Hence the Republicans in office would stay there, and there would be no chance for the Democrats till they die or resign, or are guilty of malfeasance. Referring to a little" skirmish between Schurz and Greeley, on the subject he said, Greeley's letter was as vague as a cloud of mist. The idea was "elect me for the term that is all the reform you want." If one term was a remedy, the thing to do is to elect Grant and he will be just as honest

temptation to figure for another term. Briefly referring to the fact that this was purely a personal fight, Greeley having sustained every measure of Grant's administration to which objection was made, including the much denounced Kuklux act, reference was made to members of the Senatorial ring, and the malice they had shown, and the fact that Greeley was supported by the worst men of both parties. While Democrats who were more for principle than aslf stood aloof, those more hungry than wolves gathered around their life-long opponent, expecting to be fed by his hands. Referring to the fact that there could be no well founded hope of reform under such an administratiqn as Greeley's would be, if elected, he passed to what was the most effective part of his speech, in regard to Greeley's position on secession. Referring to the Congressional Globe for 1871, Senator Carpenter quoted extracts from the Tribune distinctly endorsing the doctrine. If the doctrines of Greeley are endorsed by his election and our national debt would be doubled, and such burdens laid upon the

adopted, doubled, and such burdens laid up people as they could not and would not endure.

No decent Democrat, no Republican would ever consent. We have been ready to regard Greeley's nomination as a huge joke, and laugh at the idea of his election, but when these things are considered, we come down to business, and if any one proposes to vote for Greeley, let him reflect what it means. Mr. Carpenter concluded by saying: "I leave the responsibility of this great campaign on your shoulders. The American people hold the destiny of the country in the hollow of their hand. Our republican institutions are the last hope of humanity in the world. If we wreck or founder, the hope of b'berty in the world perishes. I conjure you by all the glorious past, by all the hopes of the future, to stand by the Republican party, to vote for the right, for justicc and for Grant. (Great applause.

1856,

"In the heart of the foreigner beats not a noble impulse, not one single throb of patrioism! He is so brutal and degraded that he has no sympathy for any thing but cabbage and lager beer, potatoes and buttermilk, or some other outlandish dish, fit only for the hogs of the street or pen. All the oaths in the world can not bind them. "Some tell me that many foreigners are intelligent—yes, intelligent! How in the name of Almighty God can they say it? Look at the Dutchman smoking his pipe, and if you see a ray of intelligence in that dirty, idiotic-looking face of his, show it to me. "We must change the laws of the land and prevent these ignorant, degraded paupers here from voting and holding office. Villains and ruffians who congregate in and around our villages and larger cities, and live by stealing and begging from Americans. Some say they have rights. So they have—a right to live under the laws and till the soil, and do as we bid. They are inferior in intellect and intelligence to the Americans, and they must oe and shall be put down and kept down if it has to be done at the point of the bayonet and with' powder and lead."

Nobody who knows Senator Wilson, the sagacious politician, the christian

fentleman,

the humane lover of all man-

ind, needs to be told that he never uttered any such language as the foregoing. The attributing of those sentiments to him is an outrageous libel. He not only never used the words as stated, but he never uttered anything that could be tortured or twisted into a semblance thereof.

The man who did make the speech so abusive of Germans, from which the foregoing is an extract, was John M. Wilson, of Indiana, now a Democrat and Greeleyite.—[Ind. Journql.....

IT turus out after all that Schruz's proof does not support his charge that Grant tried to buy his support of the San Domingo measure. Pleasanton says in his letter to Schurz: "Your statement is correct that the President wanted your support for the San Domingo scheme, and that you could have had the patronage of the government forgiving it. That was the distinct impression the President's conversation made upon my mind, and I communicated to you at the time.

What was necessary to sustain Schurz's charge is proof of what the President said. Pleasanton talks about impressions made upon his mind by the conversation. No such evidence would be heard in court, and it will not serve Mr. Schurz, He lias made a grave charge, and has failed to sustain it. The calumny is not supported by his sorehead ex-official witness.—[St. Louis Democrat.

LADY LOVELACE—A CHAPTER IN THE HISTOBY OF THE BYRON FAMILY. From the Bvston (Jlobe.]

Among the victims of their oini temerity during the recent eruptions of Mount Vesuvius was a descendant of Lord Byron by a co-called .Morganatic Venetian marriage. The fact is worthy of notice only because it is in accord with the singular fatality that has beset the Byron race for more than a century, and as it revives memories of the distinguished daugter of the great poet. Few persons probably have ever read the commencing and concluding stanzaq of the third canto of 'Cliilde Harold' without a deep interest in the Ada lie touchingly apostrophizes. The story of her life, intimately enough is known in those repertoires of unwritten biographies of the English aristocracy—the Pall Mall clubs—though as full of wierd romance as of sad reality, has not often been told abroad. The lady has been many years dead. Another wife has long since taken her place. Friends, neighbors, acquaintances, social equals, ana even strangers, have been familiar with the history Augusta Ada Byron for more than two decades. We reveal no secret and break no promise by briefly narrating it here. It will be remembered that the first and only born of that unppy marriage of Lord Bvron to Miss Millbanke was just five weeks old when the mother ana wife, for reasons never satisfactorily explained, returned to her father's house. Here the infant grew into girlhood under the care of her mother, and here, after Lady Byron's accession to her property, were the foundations of Augusta Ada's education laid. Inheriting uncommon genius, though, as we shall presently explain, wholly diverse from her father's, she was brought up with the most tender care, and educated by most thorough training. Her personal beauty developed with her mind. She is described by a person who frequently saw her, when at the age of twenty years she was living with her mother at Clifton Springs, as of the most queenly presence and raceful carriage, her complexion fresh, ler features of perfect contour, her eyes large and brilliant, her head set upon her shouldes like her father's, her hair chestnut, abundant and wavy and her person slightly embonpoint but perfect in proportions. To these charms there were added a voice of great sweetness, and vivacity in conversation that held in thrall all who approached her. Her tastes, however, were for pure mathematics. Whether owing to her education, for she read no poetry and never saw a work of Lord Byron till past her puberty, or to inheritance from her mother, her understanding of the exact sciences was excelled by no woman of her time except Mrs. Sommeville, and, indeed, by few of the other sex. In proof of her extraordinary attainments in this respect, it is mentioned by the late Charles Babbage, in his "Passages from Life of a Philosopher," she informed him she had translated for her amusement "Menabrea's Memoir of the Analytical Engine," from the "Bibliothique Universelle." He proposed that she should add notes of her own. This she did, extending them to three times the length of the original memoir. Babbage says that to all persons capable of understanding the reasoning, it furnishes "a demonstration that the operations of analysis are capable of being executed by machinery."

This translation with the notes, may be found in volume 31 of the "Transactions of the Royal Society." Ada Byron was married to the Earl of Lovelace in March, 1835. The marriage was not an unhappy one. Her husband, respectable in talents and domestic in habits. Lord Lieutenant of his county and high in social position, suitable in age, and possessed of large estates, regarded his wife with min-

?Inwilling

led feelings of affection and admiration. that she should be known publicly asanauthoress he nevertheless more than once gave permission that certain of her articles on various branches of sci ence, about which thinking men made inquiry, might be acknowledged as hers, Children were lorn to them. Their tastes were no more dissimilar than was consistent with common if not promotive of unusual harmony, and their home was often spoken of, by those old enough to rememDer the two, as furnishing a happy contrast to that which her mother had abandoned twenty years before. But Lady Lovelace craved excitement. Neither town life nor country was sufficient to satisfy her inherited desire for constant stimulant. Neither her study, nor her pen, the care of her children nor the pleasures of society, her rank among the aristocracy nor the admiration her beauty and gifts she received wherever she appeared, were sufficient. She speculated in the funds, bet at horse races, bought and sold in the stock market, and finally during the railway mania that, under the lead of Hudson, was second only in its universality among the rich and great to the South Sea bubble of the early days of the last century, partook largely in the ventures. All this could well enough be without the knowledge, as it were, of her 'husband. Besides the ample "pin-mon-ey" allowed her in the marriage settle ment, large returns came to her from trust funds held for her in her own right.

But she went too deep. Her risks were unfortunate and though she might have le covered from all this, most inopportunely her attorney became a bankrupt and her operations were exposed, in his assets before the courts, to the world, Terribly mortified, she appealed to her husband, who, to save the scandal of any legal process, cancelled her liabilities by very considerable pecuniary sacrifies. The shock, however, was too great for her excitable nature, and it has always been believed by those who best knew what followed that the shame she felt at the exposure was the remote if not the proximate cause of her death. It is not best, perhaps, to trace too accurately a family history. But "blood is thicker than water," and a lesson in stirpiculture may be learned from a word more about a race that has for more than a century, in some one of its representatives, been before the world. Of the living we have nothing to say, but Lord Oakham, the eldist son of Lady Lovelace, inherited the vices of the Byrons without their genius. In his erratic life as a boy, whom no discipline could tame, a midshipman in the royal pavy disgraced for petty thievings, a common sailor, sober only when out-at sea before the mast, a pimp for the paltriest gains in the purlieus of Calcutta, and a "navy" in Scott Russell's ship-yard near the London docks, he exhibited all the meannesses of the Byrons of the last century, without a redeeming trait of their nobleness. He died September 1, 1862, at the age of twenty-six. Thomas Carlyle says that every man's life contains materials for an epic poem. That the lives of the Byrons could do this every one of them since the middle of the seventeenth century, no reader of the English biography will doubt. Gifted above its peers, proud, rash, endowed with extraordinary physical rftength and beauty, at war with conventionalists, and sometimes depressed, sometimes exalted by fortune, the Byron race has furnished to sociologists from time out of mind, physical phenomena that are as positive in princplei as theyare invaluable as facts. From beginning to end the race is the same. And as the negro, the Chinaman, the six-fin-gered, the scrofulous, the hair-lipped, the left-handed, the bow-legged, the dwarfed, and the gigantic perpetuate their kind, despite the intervals that may elapse, so in the Byron family have ruling traits of the distant ancestor reappeared in the most remote descendant,

SONS and daughters of prominent Japanese familes are scattered throughout the United States in seminaries of learning, and in various schools of literature and art. Some are in the government establishments at West Point and Annapolis, and some are taking lessons in diplomacy and international law at Washington. Something of their acquirements and facile assimilation of Western ideas may be gathered from a recently published curious work comprising es says on American life, manners, and institutions, written by Japanese students, and originally prepared for circulation in Japan. These papers evince considerable subtility of thought, powers of observation, and an admirable use of new opportunities.

Reviewing this chapter of condensed history—the mystery of its beginning, the cruel selfishness of its progress, the beneficence of its gradual nnfoiding, and the auspicious sky which bends over its closing pages—one most recognise the hud of a wise Providence in these successive epochs.

CHAPTER I.

Near the' camp of the old Pennsylvania Bucktail regiment, in Virginia^early in the war, lived an old, aristocratic, exclusive and pompous Virginian, in true baronial style. His mansion, of teiy old age, was made of imported brick, his chimneys were tall and massive, and the rooms were large and pleasant. The chief attrations of the old place, however, were the gronnds that surrorfnded the mansion. Luge trees gave luxuriant shade, and the underbrush in portions of the grounds afforded shelter for rabbits and other small game. There were walks, and orchards, and arbors, and the whole bore such a scene of general peacefulness and repose that it was no wonder the wild Bucktails were charmed with the prospect, and anxious to penetrate into a spot which gave such promise of enjoyment.

The Bucktails were not the most tractable soldiers. They came from the stcp-ping-off place—the Wilderness of Pennsylvania—McKean, Potter, Forest and Tioga counties—and they obtained their name, which clung to them during the entire war, through a fancy of Colonel Kane, brother of the Arctic explorer, who became their commander. He recruited the regiment in the early days of 1861 (beginning on the day of the arrival of the news of the fall of Sumter) from the backwoodsmen, who were famohs marksmen. They were all deer hunters, and as a designation each man was furnished with the tail of a buck by Colonel Kane, and" when they marched from Camp Curtin with bucktails in their caps it was a novel sight. Col. Chas. J. Biddle, of Philadelphia, was made the Colonel, and Colonel Kane the Lieutenant-Colonel of the regiment—both men noted for their short, attenuated forms. Neither was scarcely more than five feet hfgli, and their combined weight was less than two hundred and twenty pounds.

It may be readily guessed that these soldiers had little respect for Virginia aristocracy, and the tent poles had hardly got settled in the ground before a noted rider named—well, Smith—shouldered his deer-killer and started out on a little expedition. He was a sergeant, and of immense size, and went by the name of "The Big Sergeant." He made a straight march for the old Virginian's manor. Now, the old gentleman had many pets about the grounds, and among them a tame crow which he valued very highlv. He also had tame rabbits, doves, etc. "The sergeant climbed the stone wall, and dropped himself and his gun on the inside of the grounds. The first thing his eye struck was the tame crow, who unconcernedly flew near him, and alighted on a limb and began to caw at him. The sergeant put his rifle to his shoulder and banged away, and Mr. Crow came fluttering to the ground. The soldier loaded his gun, leaned it against the wall, and went to get his game.

Instantly there came running from the house, iri a high state of excitement, the old Virginian, and when he saw that his pet crow had been killed his rage had no bounds. He rushed for the sergeant's gun, and, swearing that he wouldn have given the crow, for the whole Yankee army, vowed that he would blow the soldier's brains out. With this he brought the piece to a cock and glanced along tbe barrel. The sergeant begged for his life, and the Virginian swore he would take it.

The Virginian, finally thought of a compromise, and with a look half between amazement and rage, told the sergeant that he must cat that raw crow. In vain the other protested the Virginian insisted on the price of his adversary's life. So the sergeant pulled off feathers and beto gag and eat. "How do yon like crow?" hissed the Virginian through his teeth.

The only answer the other gave was to beg to be let off". He was sorry he had shot the crow didn't know that it was a tame one, and he wouldn't do such a thing again. Finally the old man took the gun from its aim and told the sergeant he need't eat any more. His heart full of joy, the soldier threw the bird upon the ground and said "Well, I kin eat crow, but I don't like it."

The story might stop here if it was only to show the origin of the phrase, but tli! rest of it is the best.

CHAPTER II.

The old Virginian, after surveying his dead pet for an instant in a sorrowful manner, returned the gun and started for his mansion. The other quickly brought his piece to his shoulder and called out: "Hold on there, Mister." "What do you want asked the other, as he turned and beheld a "bead" drawn on him. "I'd like to have you eat the rest of this crow."

The old man fumed and swore, and tore about in a frantic manner, saying he be d——d if he would, and that he didn't want any of the young man's jokes. The cocking of the gun, and the assurance on the part of the soldier that he would certainly put a ball through the old man's shoulder unless he complied with the demand, induced the Virginian to retrace his steps. "Now," .said the sergeant, "I want you to eat the rest of that crow, and no nonsense."-

A punch of the rifle on the shoulder of the cud man roused him to a qui sense of his position, and picking up the crow he enaeavored to bite it. He grew pale, the perspiration stood upon his face, he trembled like a terrior, his mouth watered, his eyes filled, he gagged, and it seemed a physical impossibility for him to touch the crow. The sergeant, however, compelled him to take a bite, and it was the only one he did take, for his breakfast came up so rapidly to protest against crow that the soldier relented and told him to "git" and never to trouble a Bucktail again.

Here would seem to be another proper place to end this story, but there is still another chapter.

CHAPTER III.

The next day, the old Virginian, smarting under the indignities he had suffered, in not only having his pet crow killed, but being compelled to eat a portion of went to the headquarters of the Bucktails and made complaint to the Colonel against the big sergeant. The Colonel at once sent an orderly for Sergeant Smith, rightly supposing he must be the person referred to. He obeyed the summons at once. He pushed the door of the tent aside and entered the presence. Snapping his heels together and standing erect in the position of "attention," he brought his right hand quickly to the visor of his military cap, and gave the customary salute to his Colonel. "Sergeant," said his commander very gravely, "do you know that gentleman,' pointing to the old Virginian. "Yes, sir," promptly answered the other. "How did you become acquainted with him, sergeant?" "We dined together yesterday, sir," promptly answered the culprit.

The roar of laughter which followed this reply need not be described, nor the manner in which even the old Virginian joined. The sergeant was sent back to his quarters, and the interview between the old aristocrat and the Colonel was ended by an invitation to the latter to dine the next day at the old mansion.^

Whether this story has any bearing upon the ppesent practice of eating crow or not, I cannot pretend to say, but I have little doubt that the pet crow of the old Virginia was quite as palatable to him as Greeley is to those who are compelled to swallow him.

THE character of the confusion candidate for President is thus tersely described by the Atlantic Monthly: "Mr. Greeley is believed to be capricious, conceited, peculiarly open to fiattery and prejudice, Dold in opinion, but timid in action, and with that indefinable something in his charcter which makes it impossible not to laugh at him, however much you may esteem him, He is_ unsteady, grotesque, obstinate, and ridiculous— epithets never yet justly applicable, all. at once, to a President of the United States.

A MISSISSIPPI correspondent of the Terre Haute Journal tells how Mr. Voorhees* crow-eating looks from a Southern •tand-point:

The present position of Mr. Voorhees has occasioned considerable surprise in the South. It was believed by all, Mends as well as foes, that he would retire to private life sooner than step upon the Cincinnati platform and take position under tbe Greeley standard.

TIIE MIKADO VISITS SHBINES, ADOPTS THE TELEGRAPH AND INVENTS A NEW RELIGION.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 28.—Arrived this morning, the steamer Colorado, from Hong Kong, June 27, Yokahomo, Julv 7, full cargo of teas.

The Mikado left on the 28th ult., accompanied by eight war steamers, intending to visit several shrines in Kioto, and other portions of the southern country, returning in forty days. This is the first time in Japanese history that the Mikado has embarked on such an excursion. Much is expected to result from it.

Telegraph communication between Jeddo, Nagaski, and the outside world is to be completed within five weeks.

The Japanese mint is closed for extensive additions. The government has decided upon the promulgation of a new form of religion upon careful consultation with the most noted expounders of each sect, and all will be compelled to conform. Therefore the new religion will be enlightened, simpleand likely to meet approval.

Tea is eagerly taken up at advanced rates quality superior to last season.

THE EVERLASTING ClIENEY CASE.

CHICAGO, July 29.—The decision rendered by Judge Williams, of the Circuit Court of this county, to-day, iri the case which is known as the (Hiency case, was upon a bill filed by certain members of Christ Episcopal Church against Charles E. Cheeney, rector, and the vestrymen and wardens of said church, praying for a preliminary injunction restraining from officiating as minister, and the wardens and vestrymen from permitting his ministrations and from using the revenues of the church for his support. The defendants filed their several demurrers to the bill of complaint. The rector and the treasurer, in their demurers, alleged that the bill is defective for wiint of exity and for want of proper parties. The opinion of the court is a very lengthy and exhaustive review of the entire case, together with arguments of counsel, and while it overrules the demurrers of the defendants, denies the application for a temporary injunction of this intermediate decision is to continue the Rev. Cheney in his ministration in the pariah of Christ's for the present, and pending the decision upon an application for permanent injunction, which case will come up in its regular turn on the court docket. The main point in the decision denying the temporary injunction appears to be that there can be no pressing necessity for the immediate severing of the bond between Cheney and his parish, when all but a small minority of that Parish are opposed to such action, The oourt argues that under such circumstances such action could result only ia pecuniary loss to the parish, and that as the pecuniary rights of the defendants and the Chureh majority there represented by the complainants as the property and interests of the complainant*, can be but slightly prejudiced by refusing to grant the monition for a preliminary injunction while thwe of the defendants might be most injuriously and perhaps permanently affected by its allowance. The final decision in the matter will not be reached until the case comes up in regular order on motion for permanent injunction.

A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.

the canal oil boat

were burned to death. Two Williamsburg ferryboats are also reported burned. There is a panic among the people at Hunter's Point. Houses are deserted. The fire department's efforts seem powerless. All the carsof the Flushing road' have been removed. All the property oif the river front of the place is also being rapidly removed. Th«*loss will be enormous.

There were five large tanks of paptha and refined oil, each containing 5,000 gallons. Four of these were burned. Hopes were entertained at last accounts of saving the remaining tank. Over 50,000 barrels of petroleum on the wharf, ready for shipment, were burned, as also four ships and three canal boats, loaded with oi.'. Many of the burning barrels of oil rolled into the river, endangering shipping. All vessels are now removed. No ferry boats burned, as was reported. Coe's phosphate factory and a large amount of stock were consumed loss about $90,000. Tne Standard Oil Works were entirely consumed by three o'clock. Pratt's astral works, in the rear of the Standard works, have not yet ignited, and hopes are indulged of saving them, as the wind is now blowing the flames tfoward the river. Many sheds owned by Rockafellar, Andrews & Co., containing thousands of barrels of oil are entirely consumed. At four o'clock it was reported that the fire was confined to oil in the tanks and to that which lay in the I10 of the burning vessels. Many contradictory reports are afloat and it is impossible to ascertain the precise extent of the loss by the fire, but it is believed the loss will reach about $600,000. The fire is believed to have origtnated by some accident in a canal boat which was unloading at the wharf. The fire department did all in their power, but their efforts were of little avail. At one time the fire extended over three blocks, consisting of the entire space witli solid flame. The estimated loss on vessels is $100,000 on standard oil works, $200,000, on companies works $25,000. Almost all the losses are fully covered by insurance. No further destruction is now apprehended, the fire being pretty well subdued
