QUEER CTEcUMsTANcE-A little dog, be-
longing to Mr.. Steil, the mcrehat tailor, came
trotting along, yesterday, by Glassen's Sa-
loon, in the best possible humor, to all ap-
pearances, when he STOPPED, lay down, and
died without a struggle There was no evil
dence that he had been poisoned but every
indication to the contrary. The poor little
fellow probably had an organic affection OF
the heart or some other disease which sud-
denly suspended the vital powers The death
Of a good hearted dog is more to be regretted
than that of bad elrted man, and we may
say more to be regretted than the death of
even good hearted man. because the man
lives again in another sphere, but the poor
dog according to the received theory is lost
forever. The putting out Of his warm aud
true life is an eternal extinguishment.

MATTERS AT wAsnISoroS.-The Washington
correspondent Of the Traveller gives glimpse
Of the state Of feeling among Mr.. Summers
friends Immediately after the delivery Of his
recent speech:
There was strawberry party at Silver
Spring, the country seat Of the Blairs, some
six miles from this city, on Monday evening,
where they entertained very large number Of
the Congressman and the distinguished non-
resident politicians who were here. The Chica-
go nominations wero fully ratified there, and
much done toward healing any hard feeling be-
tween the friends Of Seward and those Of the
nominee. As most Of the visitors had gone d.
rect from the Senate, the speech OF Mr.. Sumner
was very fully discussed. Among other things,
Il was said that some Of the most conservative
Senator's were the first and the warmest in their
congratulations. among whom were Messrs.
Poote of VT, Ten Eyck Of N. j.. both Connec.
ticut Senator's, and Trumbull III. Mr.. Footc
spoke OF It mot only ~ the speech Of the
American senate, but the great speech OF the
age" Mr.. Harlin on greeting MIR. 5. Mt Its
conclusion said, 'your speech Is worthy OF
yourself, and that is the highest possible COM
pliiuent." Another said "y0ur speech was
always strong and sometimes mighty" Al
least, the speech has been effective in calling
out the strongest compliments. The friends OF
Mr.. Chestnut speak with chagrin OF his speech
rs afforiing Mr.. Sumner opportunity Of max.
ing the strongest hit against them In the whole
course Of his remarks.

The Greeley Seward Letter.

We publish to-day that private letter from
Horace Greeley to Senator Seward, ON which
Mr.. Raymond ofthc Times based his accusation
against Mr.. Greeley, that his opposition to Mr..
Sewari's nomination at Chicago was dictated
by personal feeling. Having already said that
our sympathies were with Mr.. Greeley in the
controversy, we seemed called on to give the
letter though we could lily afford the space
in justice to all parties. xhe channel through
which Mr.. Greeley received it from Mr.. Sew
ard, was Mr.. Weed ofthe Albany Journal
Mr.. Greeley, IN publishing accompanies 1t
with an editorial in which, after stating the cir
eumstances under which the letter was written
and the motives that dictated it, and the unJus-
,idable use that had been made OF 1t he says, II
ever discharged public duty in utter disre-
gard Of personal considerations DID so ~
CHICAGO last month" We think that MIR.
Greeley speaks the truth. There is nothing in
the letter which is disereditable either to the
head or the heart ofits author. IL is manly,
outspoken notice to parties with whom he had
been associated, and who had not shown that
appreciation of his merits that he had right
10 expect, that thenceforward he should act in
dependently Of them. II is Greeley oil over,
n reflex of its author, showing II Is true, a de-
sire for some tangible appreciation OF his great
merits and services, and regret that which
was 50 manifestly his due had not been accord
al him, but none Of the cautious reserve and
crafty cunning Of an adrOit political schemer.
We have read. We confess, the letter, not with
GU, being deeply interested in some ofits touch
ing statements relating to his carly struggles
with poverty and those other statements In
which he makes record Of the course which was
pursued towards him by men who had been
reaping rich harvest in fame AMI worldly az
grandirement by his great talents and abilities.
The letter. as the date indicates. was written
just after an election which terminated In the
success Of the party which had his support. and
to bring about which no uan had contributed
% much as himself He had been working to
elevate 10 oaice men for whom he did not dis
guise his want Of love, and whose conspicuous
ness was only attained BY humiliation Of him
self He had supported them from principle.
and the work having been done, jaded and
uearied Is he was with his labors. and smart
ing under the want Of appreciation which had
been manifested BY helsslers towards him, hs
