| We live in an age Of revolutions and poor
Greeley seems turned quite topsy turvy.
Greeley, Raymond, Satan and Company
| and the Next Legislature.
Since the decline in circulation Of the abol
ton dailes, the editors-in-chef- Gree
ley and Raymond-have been browsing around
to supply their deficiencies aud recuperate their
finances. Greeley, poor fellow, resorted to the
gold pen lottery enterprise" but that having
failed, he is turning his attention to the Albany
lobby. Raymond turned politician; but, seeing
no immediate relief for his dilapidated finances
either in that or stock jobbing, he resorted to
betting but, like Greeley in his gold pen lottery
project, he has been obliged to abandon that
scheme, and is now making extensive arrange
ments for the rich mines To be opened at Albany
during the session OF the Legislature. These
kindred spirits, drawn together by natural atfin-
ties, have formed a copartncrshp under the name
and title of Greeley, Raymond Satan Compa-
| ny, and have just returned from Albany, where
j they have been 10 make arrangements to open
an Office and hang out their single, in hopes Of
doing the business of the lobby, now that Weed
has gone to Europe.
Thurlow Weed has for long time been con-
sidered the king Of the Albany lobby, and there
is general impression that he has made good
thing out of it. He has likewise managed TO
keep Greeley and his associates out in the cold,
and prevented their sharing in the rich jobs

lite sharpened by being left out in the cold for
years, and becoming somewhat distressed and
out at the elbows by the decrease of sub
scribers, they are preparing themselves for an
extensive business in the lobby, as their last
resort to keep their newspapers from dying out
altogether Accordingly they posted off to
Albany together, and have, it is said rented
Senator Harris mansion, and are preparing for
champagne dinners, brandy leyees, and a grand
blow out generally, to obtain the good graces
of the lobby and the lawmakers. Their pro-
gramme contemplates the election Of Raymond
| Speaker, and the browning Of Greeley and his
right bower, Satan, king Of the lobby They
have been making strenuous efforts to secure
the support Of Royal Phelps and D. S. Cod
dington to their scheme, even promising them,
we are informed, quarters in the aforesaid pala-
tial mansion. Mr. Coddington COZ :es out in
card and says great deal about his being a
demecrat-as if there was such party now
but not a word about giving this combination
his support As to Royal Phelps, we presume
that he has not committed himself as yet, not
wthstanding the boasts of Greeley. Raymond,
Satan d Company that they have received
him.
Tor several years past the representatives Of
certain class of jobs, including railroads, emf
grant head money, back auction dues and other
claims against the State treasury have regularly
visited Albany and endeavored to.enlist Mr.
Weed III their schemes; but he has rejected their
offers; and, since this class are now principally
political partisans Of Greeley he hopes to OBJ
tain that business for the lobby firm Of Greeley
Raymond, Satan q Company and others. In
connection with the Broadway Railroad pro-
ject and numerous other schemes for this city
and Brooklyn, they hope to do thriving bust
ness during the hundred days session, bolster
ing up their newspapers and aboitionism at the
same time. Knowing that the public mind is all
absorbed on the subject Of the restoration of the
Union, they imagine that they can rush their
particular measures through without attracting
any attention, and thus receive their large
fees.
Greeley, Raymond, Satan g. Company may,
however, find that they cannot manage the
lobby any better than they do newspapers and
that their lobby project will be losing bust
ness. We notice, to begin with, that nearly all
OF those members who supported Greeley for
United States Senator have been repudiated by
their constituents. Out of some fourteen mem
bers Of Assembly reelected. only two or three
supported the Spruce street philosopher for
Senator.

| Just as the abolitioniss desire to do in the
North and thus break up and divide the Union,
and make its reconstruction an impossbiity.

will resort to every dodge in their
power to use the republican majority in the As
