TuK NoMINArIoN OF HORACE GREEIEr

THE NOMINATION OF HORACE GREELEY to
he Minister to Austria will, of course, excite
comment and surprise. 1t is asserted that
the idea was Jol,nson's own, he believing
that the Senate surely would not hesitate to
confirm him. Mr.. Seward did not hear OF
the nomination till it had been sent in. Sena-
tor Tipton's objection was made because
Horace went bail for jeff Davis.
The Tribune, of to-day, says;-
Washington dispatches assert that Horace
Greeley was nominated on Saturday to-
Minister to Austria. We do not believe Gov
Seward is the author of this practical joke
Ii intended as surprise to everybody, j
can have been successful with no one more
completely than with him who is its subject
He is much obliged for the compliment, bu
could not be induced to leave this country a
present.

A PRISON INQUIRY.

An excellent and valuable investigation is
about to be made in Pennsylvania, by Com
missioners under authority of the Legisla-
ture. They will inquire into the various
prison systems of the different States, and
report upon their effectiveness in reducing
the amount of crime, and securing the re-
formation of criminals. In the course of
the investigation we hope to have the Com
mission make little trip from Philadelphia
to Delaware. We want them to examine
with impartial eye, the system Of penal
treatment in this State, to look at the pillo-
ny, and take view Of the whipping post,
to ascertain the condition Of prisoners in a
State which has no penitentiary, but con-
fines all its convicts, as well as the untried,
in three county jails If the system of Della
ware is good one, If 1t decreases crime,
and dignifes humanity, we doubt not these
commissioners from our neighboring State
will discover it. We should like them, also,
| to inquire whether it is true that the whip
pings drive criminals from this State owe
------4.-- /. uilai5yiva6ia, and Mray
land, the benefit of our outlaws as well Al
their own. We have heard such view
urged here in defence of the lash system
and II the statement be correct, the plan il
so remarkably unselfsh, philanthropic, and
just, that we want to have full credit for it
In addition to this service which we trus
will be rendered us, it may be remembered
that the Legislature of this State also author
tied, last winter, the appointment ofa Com
mission on the same subject. The gentle.
men to compose it, were named, we think
by the Governor. Whether they have eve
met, ever organized, ever proceeded to tn
discharge of their important duty, we are NO
informed. But whether or not, they could b
greatly assisted, no doubt, by the similar Ia
bors Of the Pennsylvania Commissioners
and can, in any event, have the benefit {
, their report.
ii The Pennsylvania gentlemen are Ex-Ma,
or Henry, and Hon. N. B. Browne, of Phi

Transport; Hon. VIM. M. Watts, of Gun
berland county; Theo. II. Neyins, ESQ.,,

cal knowledge of the subject to be inyestig
{ ted. We look for thorough inquiry, an
: valuable report as the result of their labor
s and urge upon them our cordial inyitatio
/ to come and see the Delaware system. If
f is good, they ought to be acquainted with i
f if it isn't, it will at least serve for ''frigl
full example. y

THE EASTERN SHORE" NOT
ALL CHINESE.

The Maryland Constitutional Convention
decided, on Tuesday, in Committee OF the
Whole, to place provision in the new Con-
stitution permitting colored witnesses to tes-
tify. There was lengthy debate on 1t, In
which that insane Chinaman, Mr.. Peters,
greatly distinguished himself in opposition.
Such a measure he declared to be "mean
"cringing to the Yankee Congress, snd the
"high toned people % of Maryland would
"not countenance them in the act" Judge
Merrick, of Howard county, spoke at length
in its favor, and declared in conclusion that
only false pride restrained the convention
| from doing its duty, and that "the respecta-
"bility of any man must be very meagre

this radical sentiment from the Conservative
Judge, there was an outburst of applause,
though it would seem that such arguments
are not far removed from those Of the friends
of Impartial Suffrage, and that to concede
one point, must be likely to yield also the
other.
There was numerous class in the Con
] vention. who were neither obstinately blind
as MIR. Peters, nor just and reasonable
like Judge Merrick. OF this description

something to outside pressure. 1t was toe

The WORTHLESS OF this State have quick
eye for the rising sun, and a smooth tongue
of fattery for the ear of power. Now that
Gen. Sickles has been relieved and General
Candy put in his place, these decayed and
desperate politicians will make dead set to
obtain influence with the latter. Their plans
are already laid. The Sentinel, the organ G
the WORTHLESS, will soon begin, like the boa
constructor, to lick the General preparatory
to swallowing him.
We believe Gen. Candy will profit by the
experience of his predecessor, and that the set
of politicians referred to will approach him
in vain for favors or special recognition. He
will give them Justice, but nothing more.
