disaster would overtake The Hcrald' On tho
contrary, who does not know that it would
aspire to be the organ and oracle of the new
sscendancy, making brave display of that
Secession flag it holds in reserve, and putting
forth such editorials the day after the entrance
of Beauregard as it did the day before the
Fall of Fort Sumter There would be no
need of an 81 old editor returned in The
Herald Office, unless you take the phrase in its
most literal sense, az only implying that the
old editor A" had turned another summersault.

The Harrisburg Patriot " Improves a recent
statement Of Dir. Tburlow Weed till il attains
these magnificent proportions +.
The quarrel between Greeley and Weed, the
leading Republican editors OF NoW-lO!l, u qui.e
servceable 10 the public, as raises the curtain NTH
eIto ocnceang much corruption and rascality. These

This il not only u gross, shameless false
hood, but it is reiuted b. the statement on
which it Processes to have been baaed. Here
is Mr.. Weeds mputation, and every word
of it:
"It has cen our duty and task for nearly forty
wears To Iaiz. money for elections. During
than bali that time we lid 70 in consultation and
cooperation With Mr.. Greeley. Believing that rail
roads wcrr essential to the City of Ncw-iOrk, ard
that Legislative grants woul1 be obtained, zee rom
cared and aifempcd o. carry out the i1ca OF making
those grants available politically. We OH 81 with
MIR Greeey's knowledge, and he did not thrF see
the enolmily Of the oiiense.
As it is matter Of worldwide notorieiy
that we opposed those very Railroad grants,
even to the extent Of exhorting Republicans
not to reclect their representatives. VINO hid
voted for them, and thu involved ourselves in
bitter personal feuds and ubel-suits We do not
see that any thing further need be said on Lais
head. Ii Is quite true that Dir. did, during
some session Of our Legislature preceding that
at which these Railroad bills were passed,
when we were on terms Of intimacy, speak to
us OF raising q party fuGd ont Of these grants
or rather one Of Them for we on!y heard Of
one IN those days. lie says he made q Ike
suggestion to Mr.. George Opdyke and to other
prominent Republicans. Mr.. .. nevertheless
opposed those bills from first 10 last with
all his might. so did others 10 whom
this bait was held out. Our opposition was
90 well known prior TO as well as during The
session OF 1860 that neither Mr. W. nor any
other advocate Of these bills then approached
us on the subject We understand that tie
Democratic party managers were promised
contribution to their treasury from the profits
Of these grants in case they were passed; and
this is tho best explanation we have seen of
the all but unanimity with which they were
supported by the Democrats in both branches
of the Legislature of 1860. We cannot pre-
sumo that oil of them had personal reasons for
such support Aud yet we assert with conf
dence that neither the Democratic nor the Re-
publican party treasury ever received one dol
lar from this source. The talk about such
contribution was only lure for the votes of
political zeaots. and ceased 50 soon as the
grants had been secured. So it has beea and
will be in like cases.

CGMpROmrsE A rERUD.

The fact that the Hon. Henry May, Balti-
more Member of Congress Of dubious loyalty,
visited Richmond about the LIST of July last on
a secret errand, has already been dwelt on in
our columns. 1t was asserted of the time that
he went on private business, but we insisted
that this private business was to ascertain from
JEFF. Davis a. Co. the terms on which they
would return to the UniOn-said terms to be
used as basis of I" Democratic" operations in
Congress. Mr.. May in due season returned,
but kept a close mouth as to what he had been
about, only giving out (even before Bull Rum
that he believed the Coniederates would soon
capture Washington. But Tie Cratctord Bm-
htia (Illinois) states that the Hon. John 4.
Logan, who represents Egypt" in Congress-
has been letting in little light on this dark
subject. 1t says:

We print in another column letter from
Mr. John Jay, correcting an injustice done him
by Mr. John b. Haskin, of Westchester county,
in recent speech. AS all the old Anti-Savery
men, whatever may have been their differences
heretofore among themselves or with the
public have generally planted themselves in
this crisis upon the common ground Of Civ
ing hearty support to the constitution, the
laws, and the war, Mr.. Jay thinks it hardly
reasonable to make them au exception and hold
them alone responsible for any errors Of the
past

Rumors are aaoat that certain recent ap-
pointments of civilians as Generals Of VOlun.
teers look to the assignment of the gentlemen
thus appointed to the highly responsible posts
of Commissary-G General and Quarternaster-GeD-
eral of the Army, in place Of the experienced
and capable officers of the regular army now
filling those positions. 1--WE refer Of course to
the Qunrtermaster-Gen and ao,iog COmmis-
sary-General, Col. Taylor.) If these officers
are as honest aud efficient as we believe them,
we trust that they viii not be superseded,
as we are fearful such action might give rise
to serious dissatisfaction in the army. The du-
ties of these officers are very important as well
as arduous, and it is scarcely possible that new
men could discharge them with equal prompt
ness and accuracy. Let well enough alone
where it is almost certain that change involves
hazard if not serious detriment to the public
interest.

Every week or so the loyal States are
alarmed by an cutlery that the navigation of
the Potomac is closed The Ne,o- York Times
is the last to echo this panic cry, the one
effect of which is to double the heavy cost OF
transporting the immense quantities of forage,
provisions, munitions, &C., which the Govern
ment is calling hence to Washington. We
assure all interested that the Potomac below
Washington is not closed against our vessels nor
is it likely to be. Our vessels constantly ira
verse that river unmOlested, and will continue
to do 50. 1t is possible that there are one or
two points from which rebel batteries may
throw ball across the river, but it is not less
than three miles wide, and a transport that
does not require q great depth of water is no
more likely to be hit in passing them than a
swallow on the wing.
