Horace Greeley's hide to Placer
vile.

When Mr.. Greedy was in California
ovations awaited him at every town.
He had written powerful leaders in the
Tribune in favor of the Pacific railroad,
which had greatly endeared him to the
citizens of the Golden State. And there
fore they made much of him when he
went to see them.
At one town the enthusiastic populace
tore his celebrated white coat to pieces,
and carried the pieces home to remem-
Der him by.
The citizens of Placeryille prepared to
fete the great journalist, and an extra
coach, with relays of horses was chart
cred of the California stage company to
carry him from Fulsom to Placerville-
distant forty miles. The extra was de-
layed and did not reach Fulsom until
late in the afternoon. Mr.. Greeley was
to be feted at seven o'clock by the citi-
zens OF Placerville, and it was altogether
necessary that he should be there at
that hour. SO the Stage Company
said to Henry Monk, the driver of the
extra, Henry, this man must be there
by seven o'clock tonight" And be
answered, "The great man shall be
there"

make good use of their surplus funds.
They form anucleus around which other

The TEMPERANCE MEETING, LAST
EvBNING.-The Methodist church was
crowded-packed TO its full capacity,
last evening, to listea to an address from
Rev. Lorenzo D. Bafrows, D. D., on the
subject of Temperance. DR.. Barrows
glanced at the present state of the coun-
try in regard to the cause OF temper
ance, and the vice of intemperance.
During the war through which we have
just passed, the temperance cause has,
like many other causes, been measurably
in allegiance. So thoroughly absorbed
were the minds and hearts o. the people
in the great struggle with rebellion,
that nearly everything else was neg
lected, and not only was the cause of
temperance neglected but the IA
tigues and exposures OF the soldiers
were such, that young men who left
home sober, free from the habit Of drink
ing Intoxicating beverages, became,
many of them, not only habitual drink
ers, but drunkards; and it was the opin-
ion of the speaker that at no time since
the temperance reformation commenced,
has there been so much intoxicating
liquor drunk as now. But the war
over, and the nation saved from the dan
gers of rebellion, good men were again
turning their attention to the great vice
under consideration.
The speaker alluded to the great tem-
| perance convention held at Saratoga

THE CHoLERA.-The lower quaran-
tine, where the steamer Virginia lies, is
twenty miles from New York City, and
the authorities are confident the pesti-
lence will be confined there, and not
reach the city. 1t is not wonderful that
the cholera broke out on the Virginia,
or on the England which arrived re-
Gently at Halifax. They had more than
a thousand emigrants each crammed into
their holds, and had these been the
cleanest of the clean instead of the
filthy beings they were, the close pack
ing of SO many human bsings in so con-
fined q space would have been enough
to breed a pestilence.

A SINGULAR BLUNDER.-The new po-
lice law passed by the New Jersey Leg
islature, creating board of police COM
missioners for Jersey City is null and
void. The city clerk discovered on ex-
amining a certified copy of the law, that
it did not contain certain amendments
made by the Senate at the time of its
passage by that body. This led of
course to further investigation, and it
was found that the President OF
the Senate, (Mr. scoyill,) and the
Governor had both signed the bill
originally presented to the Legisla-
ture instead of the amended bill which
was passed, and which now, of course,
lacking the official signature, is a dead
letter. The police commissioners have
already taken the oath of Office, and two
of them, who had resigned their seats in
the Board OF Aldermen, are now thrown
out of office entirely.
