The Greene County Republican. [volume] (Waynesburg, Pa.) 185?-1867, 1867-05-29


HERE is no mistaklng the glee of
Copperhead organs over the release of
JEFF. Davis, and their purpose to turn
the transaction to the ridicule not only
OF the living but the dead supporters of
the Union. BY one of these organs, the
Harrisburg Telegraph informs us, it Is
brutally declared that Underwood fixed
DAVIS bail SO as to make it average ten
cents tor every life sacrificed during the
war for the Union. James Buchanan
once declared that white mans DAYS
work was not worth more than ten cents.
Now the disciples of Buchanan insist
that white mans life, lost ina struggle
Tor a tree government, is only worth ten
cents. Democracy is progressing.
Tie Pittsburgh Gazette asserts that
the rumor OF last winter that the Presi,
dent offered Horace Greeley the posi-
ton OF Postmaster General proves true.
The letter has been seen IN Washing.
ton within few days and will probably
be mace public shortly The offer was
declined on the ground that Mr.. Greeley
could not support the policy of President
johnson.
"A WESTERN contemporary, speaking of
Horace Greeley, says truthtully of the
philosopher:
There are some who are always glad
to read what he has to say, but if re
thinks that he is the autocrat of the edi
torial fraternity, or the prophet of the
age, before whom all other prophets pale
their Intellectual fires, he Is nursing de.
lusion that gives him more pain than
pleasure. ...
