How THEY FOOLED HORACE GREELY-N Nobody who
knows Mr.. Greedy will doubt his integrity but probably
there is no man who can more easily be imposed upon
than he; for his creduity knows no bounds. Com
mon would tell any man that mere visit of day
to the gold mines of so noted character MIR. Gree
ley should furnish but little evidence to the richness
of the mines.
The 1uscarawas Advocate shows how the miners de-
ccived Mr.. Greeley The Advocate says it has letter
from MIR. c. F. Espic, of New Philadelphia, who is
now at the gold diggings. 1t written from Gre
gorys Dggngs, and says that he arrived there the eth
of June that thousands rowing over the mountains,
but seeking for gold in vain Greecys circular raised
the spirits of godseekng emigran but their spirits fall
when they arrive and find themselves humbugged.
Mr.. Espich Greeley when there and has read his
statement, and says In regard to the richness OF the
mines, the old gentlemen was awfuly humhagged.
Mr. f. says he has listened to the gold miners boast how
they came it over Greedy by sang their Sce bores
and dirt by slipping IN gold dust"

Letter from the Hon. Daniel E. sicI>es-IIs Recon
ciliation with His Wife.
The Hon. Daniel f. SickIes is out in letter il lea-
ton to his reconciliation with his wife. After denying
that he exchanged a word with his lawyers upon the
subject, as has been charged, he says:
My reconciliation with my wife was my own act, done
without consuton with any relative, connection friend
or adviser Whatever blame if any belongs to the step,
should fall alone upon me. | am prepared to defend
what have done before the only tribunals recognise
as having the slightest claim to jurisdiction over the SUBJ
iect-my conscience and the bar OF Heaven. L am
not aware of any statue, code of morals which makes
it Infamous to forgive is it usual to make
domestic life subject of consultation with friends,
no matter how and dear to us. And | cannot al
low all the world combined to dictate to me the
pudation of my wife, when think it right to forgive
her. and restore her to my confidence and protection.
If ever failed to comprehend the utterly desolate
position of an offending though penitent wOman-thc
hopeless future with all its dark possibilities OF danger
to which she is doomed when prescribed as outcast
i plainly enough, i'll the almost universal
howl of denuncatiOn with which she is followed to my
Threshold the misery and peris from which have res
cued the mother of my child. And although it is very
sad for to incur the blame OF friends and the re-
proaches of many wise and good people, shall strive
to prove to all who feel any interest In me, that if am
the first who has venturcd to say to the world an
erring wife and mother may be forgiven and redeemed
that in spite Of all the obstacles in my path the good
results of this example shall entc it to the imitation of
the generous and the communication of the just.
There are many who think an act of duty proceed
ing solely from affections which can only be compre-
hended in the heart of ahusband and father is to be
fatal to my professional political and social standing.
If this be so, then so be it. Political station profess
sonal success social recognition not the only prizes
of ambition and have enough of the world in
which have moved and read enough of the lives of
Others to teach that if one be patient and resolue
it is the man himself who indicates the place he will
occupy. And long as do nothing than to
reunite my family under the roof where they may find
shelter from contumey and persecution, do not fear
the noisy but feeting voice of popular camor. The
multitude accept their first impressions from ew but
in the end think for themselves and if know the
human heart-and sometimes think that in career
of mingled sunshine and storm have sounded nearly
all its depths-then may those who look with
reluctant tOrebodings upon my future to be Of good
cheer, for will not to vindicate Just claim to
the respect of my fellows; while to those motley groups
here and there who loo upon my misiortunes only
weapons to be employed for my destruction, to those
say, for ALL if a make good Of his enc
mics they will be servceabe to him as his friends
In conclusion he nvOkes all who comment publicly or
privately upon his domestic troubles to aim all their
at his breast and for the sake of his innocent child
to spare her yet youthful mother while she seeks in
and cOntriton the mercy and the pardon of Him to
whom, sooner or LATER we must all appeal.
