ANOTHER PEACE NEGOTIATION OF HONORABLE
MAssA GREELEY SUcCEssFUL-K the Honor
able Massa Greeley was unsuccessful in his
peace negotiations at Niagara with George
N. Sanders and Jake Thompson, he has
now been quite successful in another peace
negotiation with the Count Joannes. We
have received a letter, which we publish
to-day, by which it appears that Greeley and
the Count met accidentally over cup Of
coffee in restaurant somewhere up town, in
the sacred silence Of the Sabbath day, and
then and there buried the hatchet Greeley
profered his hand, and the graceful Count
gracefully accepted it. Thus, If the Honorable
Massa Greeley failed in his negotiations with
Sanders at Niagara, and the Chevalier Blair
the vert antique of Washington--failed to make
peace with JEFF. Davis in Richmond, it is at
least consoling to know that in this age of
''wars alarms" one peace negotiation has sue
ceeded. The Count Joannes and Massa Greeley
are henceforth sworn friends.
The Count registers VOW, which he ought
to have made and kept long ago, to avoid
libel suits for the rest Of his natural life,
either against Greeley or any one else, and to
.expend his energy and his talents on the stage
or in the lecture room. We would suggest the
pulpit as an excellent field for the Counts
genius If he were to open meeting house
he might leave Beecher with empty benches.
He has all the brass and fair share of the
piety Of Beecher; and as for the Scriptures, he
beats him oil hollow; for, as will be seen, he
completely bothered poor, worldly-minded
Greeley with St Paul, Philemon and 0nesi-
mus. In short, he has the Old Testament at
his fingers ends and the New on the tip of
his tongue. We recommend him, then, to try
the pulpit; but above all things, to eschew libel
suits henceforth and forever.
