HORACE GREELEY ON THE SITUATION
Horace Greeley, now inIW ashington has pub
llshed a card in which he says that he can
see no good to any country, section, race or
class that is likely 70 be secured or promoted
By alienation between the President and Con-
gress, but on the contrary every peril and evil
that now threatens us would be aggravated,
every good put to hazard and every hope
clouded by such malign collision He is not
the advocate ofany special plan OF reconstruc-
tion, but urges that the President and Con
grese, each respecting the others p-erogaaye
and personal convictions, shall consider and
agree upon a course of action which they shall
mutually deem Just and benehcent.

the people will very generally approve this refer

We call The attention Of the Indiana State
Journal. the central organ of Republicanism in
this State, to this conversion to, or recognition
Of. the doctrine OF State Rights, by the central
organ of the Republican party of Ohio. If the
States have the right to regulate the question OF
suffrage within their borders, TO say who may
and who may not vote. and FIX the political
status Of the negro generally. then it will follow
that the States have reserved rights" which
the Federal Government Is bound to respect,

Statements were made to yesterday. by
some OF the most respectable citizens of Capitol

officers at Capitol Hill Barracks. which, if cor
rect, are sufficient to excite the disgust and in

disgusting of these acts said TO have been
witnessed by large number OF residents in that
vicinity on Saturday evening. We give the

A soldier of Company Il. Eighteenth Veteran
Reserve Corps, (the regiment stationed in that
barracks,) named Christopher Elderbrsnd, visited
the Twentieth Corps for the purpose of seeing a
friend, became intoxicated, and did not return TO
the barracks in season TO answer TO roll call.
Consequently. at SIX o'clock on Saturday eve

to a round of a ladder placed with one end on
the ground and the other against the caves of
the buildings. De was kept suspended until
fifteen minutes to nine o'clock After two hours
OF suffering. the cries of Elderbrand who is
about seventy years OF ager were so loud and
heart rending, that gag was placed in bis
mouth TO suppress the noise.
The cries OF the sufferer excited the wife OF a
Lieutenant in the barracks TO such degree
that she threatened TO cut the man down herself
