Horace Greeley on Jefferson Davis

The following article recently appeared
in the editorial columns Of the New York
Tribune: a'ss9
We cherish no ill feeling toward this
prisoner; while, on the other hand, he is
Il stranger to us, whom We have not been
tempted either to love or admire That
he has played an important part makes
no difference in our view. He is just@a
man, after all and in good part the crea-..
ture of circumstances, as most men are.
That seme have wanted to hang him Son
q sourapple tree, while others,haye done
us like honor, is quite immaterial. But
we do feel that the governmental our
country is disgracing itself by its treat
ment of the prisoner-that it ought to
have brought him to trial long since, and
let him know his fate-that tits playinga q
shabby, shufaing, cowardly part. with re-
gard to him-that it should either retract
its charge of assassination or have him
indicted and tried thereon according to
law-that keeping him in prison untried,
and not even attempting to bring his case
to issue, is dihusing an impression at the
South that the government dare not try
him for fear of damaging Developments
and discomfting verdict. In short, if
there was ever case mismanaged, to the
peril of momentous public interests, it iss,
in our view, that of the United States
against Jefferson Davis; and it is high
misdemeanor in some one to permit.it to
drag on in this miserable fashion: = 4
All this-most of it, at any rate-we
have urged already-perhaps more than
once-and, as no good has, been. effected,
we might as we'll have said nothing
Some exceeding Smart people think, capi-
tal.may be made for or against Andrew
Johnson by letting this game 60 on. We
feel that it should be stopped at once
that the prisoner should be arraigned
forthwith on the most damning charge
that can be maintained against him-that
he should be promptly and fairly tried
thereon-and that all talk of furnishing
or pardoning him should be forborne till
the verdict shall have been rendered.
There seems to be persons to-day who
dissent from these views; but does any
one imagine that there can be question,
twenty years hence, as to thoir soundness
and importance2

THE LITTLE CHA1R-There is q little
chair that occupies silent nook in the
corner of q lonely room. 1t is never re-
moved out ofits place, and is occasionally
touched by reverend hands which softly
wipe from it's arms and little cane seat
the atoms of dust, tears dropping fast
meanwhile, but wholly unheeded. The
little chair has not always occupied its
corner so still and solemnly; only few
short weeks, and it was the constant COM
panion, the sharer in all restless fancles
of a bright and busy child. Untiringly
up and down the little feet patted all day
long, and only at night the blue eyes drop
ped YEARLY, and the loving little hands
rested from their eager work or play.
But alas the blue eyes are closed now;
the lashes lie tenderly upon the white
cheek; the sunny hair curls lightly over
smooth, placid brow; and the little
hands lie peacefully at rest over the heart
whose quick pulsations have been sudden.

The Radical Soldiers Convention
P1rrsBuRa, September 27.

hOSHbSAA1ON% -
The proceedings of the Convention,
yesterday were animated. Several anus
ing speeches, ridiculing the President,
were listened to with favor. Resolutions
were passed hottie to the President. Gen.
Butler made q characteristic speech, and
General Weitzel denounced the Cleveland
Convention as made up from straeclers
of the army. A despatch was read from
General Fremont, which elected three
cheers for him. Butler was the lion of
the Convention. Among the resolutions
presented by COL Streight, was one ask
ing Congress to direct the President to
remove from the late rebel States all arms
and munitions of war not needed for pre-
sent use there, which was adopted, with
one vote in the negative, the first and
only one of the character castin the Con.
vention, and which created a sensation.
The resolutions also endorse the constitu-
tional amendment, and assert that its
propositions are the mildest terms ever
granted to subjugated rebels That the
President has no right to policy as
against the legislative department of Gov
ernment, and that his acts have convert
ed conquered rebels into impudent claim
ants to rights which they have forfeited
and places they deserted; that the right
of the conqueror to legislate for the con-
quered, is the public law of all civilized
nations. General Butler, in his remarks,
said, as soon as these communities have
shown desire to be received back in an
humble manner, that fitness for the elem
ency meted out to them, (because it is Tor
men who have erred to be humble when
they acknowledge their mistake, they
should be received, but not until them

The Ruling Passion Strong I'm
Death. 'r'

Old Boge was Iniserly old fellow, who
had accumulated great wealthby lhesloDg
penuriOusness. But even miseTs have to
die some time, and old Boge was at length
called upon to pay that debt, which all
must pay, and which is paid as easily by
the man who hasn't got cent as by the
possessor of millions. Ia'of R RaH HYr
Old Boge was sick unto death, finding
partial recompense in his sufferings from
the reflection that as he could not eat any
thing something was being saved. His
physician told him that his end Wasrapidly
approaching, and as he felt within himself
that lie was rapidly approaching his end it
was evident to old Boge that he must meet
his end Verysoon. 4lll 10 jQDI 4 l29 w
How long have to liver" asked old
Boge, in faint voice. 20
"Only half an hour,n said the physician.

and added, sis there any onesy you would
like to send fora clergyman, for in
stance?"
Old Boge unused In lethargic way fora
moment; then starting up as with sudden
thought, raised his feeble hand and felt of
his emaciated chin, upon which two weeks
growth of grey and stubbed beard had
grown, then whispered hurriedly-"quick
bring me barber" -r,sag
The barber came with his kit and old
Boge said in voice that was rapidly
growing weaker: "d'

what he meant. .'''

the doctor held in his hand. He was too
weak to speak further, but the doctor in
terpreted Alright the question that was in
his eyes. r.. ..... T. .J
"FitteeD minutes" !" replied the doctor.
Old Boge made feeble motion as with
lather brush, and the barber was at his
work in a iitfy. He performed his task
with neatness and dispatch, and although
the sick man had several sinking spells Of
an alarming nature, yet he bore up to the
end. When the last stroke of the razor was
given, old Boge whispered in tones of sat-
isfaction "Fhat'll do-ninety--C cents sdUed;"

A Fire i'm the Rear-Ehe Republic
can Convention of TuscaTnwus
County Repudiates President
johnson.
On Saturday last, pursuant to the call of
the Republican Central committee of Tus-
carawas county, Convention assembled at
the Court House, in New Philadelphia, to
appoint five delegates to represent Tus-
carawas county in the Republican State
Convention, to be held at Columbus, on the
2Oth inst. We noticed in attendance, either
as delegates or wire-workers, the Repub-
lcan District Assessor, the Republican
Revenue Collector, and the Republican
Postmaster, az New Philadelphia, all hold
ing fat offices under President johnson and
receiving their daily rations from his Com
missary Department. 1t was natural to
suppose that the President would have had
a few friends in the Convention; but there
were very few The delegates were APP
pointed in a batch, and from men who
were known to be violently opposed to the
reconstruction policy of the President.
But if anything were wanting to satisfy the
President and his friends of the sentiments
of that Convention, their action on a
resolution to indorse him would be sLfli-
cient. William Thompson, Esq, sincere
johnson man, of Mill township, offered for
adoption the following resolution, which,
on motion, was laid upon the table, with
but three dissenting voices:
Resolued, That the delegetes this day ap-
pointed by this Convention. to attend the
Union State Convention to be held at Co.
lumbus on the twentieth of June, 1866, be
and they are hereby Instructed to vote for
resolutions Internationally indOrsing An
drew Johnson, President of the United
States, and his policy of reconstruction. ~.
This resolution was unceremoniously
tabled by the Convention, only three dele
gates voting in it's favor. 1t will not do to
say that these office-hOlders were not dele
gates to that Convention. They were
present, and we saw the New Philadelphia
Postmaster openly exulting over the de-
feat of the resolution; anu we distinctly
heard the u. s. Assessor tell the mover of
the resolution that he ought to have -
kicked for offering such a resolution. They
could have had it passed if they had wish
ed. That they stood by and saw the Presi-
dent of their own choosing slaughtered in
the house of his friends, is prind 1acia evil
dence that they are bitterly opposed to him.
We call upon the President, in the name of
honor and common decency, to remove
these wolves in Sleeps clothing from the
la ces which they are now disgracing by
the blackest ingratitude to the hand that
feeds them. In conclusion, we caution
these gentlemen to beware, their official
heads are in danger. "

BALLS STATUTE OF LINCoLN.-A
new group by Ball, the sculptor, repre-
sents Lincoln cmancipating the slaves.
The idea Is beautiful, and 1t Is finely car
ried out. Lincoln is standing with ono
hand on the American shield, with the
stars and stripes, and the other stretched
out over negro knecling before him, in
Il halt-rising position, his handcuffs bro
ken, the liberty cap on his head, and Nm
unmistakable expression ofjoy and hope
ful anticipation in his upturned faco.
Lincoln's homcly features are true to, life,
but refined and idealizcd by the sublime
benignity with which he looks down on
the poor outc,lst ut his feet, whom he has
made an equal before man ~ well IN be-
fore God. I.incoln's whole figure is cx-
ccllont, thoroughly expressive Of tho
unprctendng simplicity of the man. and
yet clothed with all the dignity which
his character and his work have given
him. Behind him II the broken whip
ping post beneath him lie the fragments
of tho whip, both things that were. 1t
Is a beautiful group, and one that should
he known far and wide In America; in
deed, It strikes me that no more fitting
subject could be found for Lincoln i
monument than this embodiment Of the
cansc for which he died.--From a Flor
