holy thing. In other words, II certainly
could not have been done without the power
full countenance Of some such pillars of
accredited loyalty" as Horace Greeley and
Gerrit Smith, and il must forever remain
monument Of honor to the generous i'm
pulses and wise courage of the two gentle
men, that their sense OF justice could not be
bent aside by the infuriate demands OF party
rancor, and that their devotion to humanity
and the peoples rights made them willing,
If need were, to accept estrangement from
all their former allies, rather than hesitate
to avow and maintain their convictions. II
was for these reasons, and because Davis
could not otherwise have been bailed, and
because his further confinement without
trial cried fe upon our laws and was a
disgrace to the country, that Mr.. Greeley
led the way, and that Gerrit Smith followed
him, in placing two eminent Republican
names on the document giving bail for
his appearance whenever called upon to stand
trial.
AS to the charge that Horace Greeley did
this thing from personal sympathy" or under
any other impulse than strong sense of duty,
it must suffice to say that he never spoke TO
Davis in his life until briefly introduced to
him by Charles 0'Conor in the courtroom at
Richmond, when their conversation did not
probably cover a space of two minutes; and
once again at an accidental meeting in the
parlor of Mrs. Davis, who had expressed
wish to see Mr.. Greeley and thank him for
his humane response to her appeal on former
occasion, and for his powerful assistance in
this final act. Greeley and Davis never ex-
changed one word or line together in regard to
politics or any public questions; and yet the
former has been unsorupulously represented,
with view to his injury as in Constant CO
hoot" with the great Rebel; and had
elaborate reports of friendly visitings,
and iunketings, and political caucuses
between the two at the New York
Hotel whereas in fact they never saw
each other while Davis was passing through
New York-never indeed, met anywhere
except on the two occasions we have named,
and then their conversation was simply of the
character usual between gentlemen on such
formal occasions. 1t was also charged-and
this certainly, if true, would have been
grave offense, as an attempted tampering with
the independence of the bench--that Mr.
Greeley used his personal and political influ-
ence with Judge Underwood to secure an
admittance of Mr.. Davis to bail; while here
again the fact is that Greeley never saw the
Judge while in Richmond except in the court
room, and never exchanged with him one
word in regard to the trial, except formal
request to have his bail accepted on property
in the State of New York without some legal
ceremony of having the bail vouched for by
persons residing in the Richmond District.
So much for some of the more egregious falla-
cies put forth by those who have sought to
make this noble act of Mr.. Greeley basis of
attack for their personal spite.

General sherIdan-The Efforts for hii
Removal.

Removal.
From The Times.
There is nothing surprising in the state
ment from Washington that the deposition of
Governor Wells has led to renewed efforts for
the removal of General Sheridan. The friends
of the Rebel Monroe, and the friends of the
hybrid radical Wells, have for some time
worked in unison upon this point. They have
had their respective revenges to crafty, and
their respective interests to serve, and with all
their differences they have concurred in the
desire to mortity and punish the cause of their
discontinue. The decapitation of Wells has
brought things to crisis, and grand COM
bined struggle to put down Sheridan is the
result
The effort is made on the ground that Sheri-
dan, by these acts OF official rigor, had ex-
eeeded his powers. The opinion Of the Attor-
ney-General is relied upon to sustain the view
that the Military Government acts do not in
vest the commanders with the power of re-
moval. The President, it is insisted, not only
may reverse the action of the General, and re-
store the aggrieved individual, but must do so
in vindication of the law and his own superior
authority. 1t is confidently said that this will
be DONE and as further mark of Executive
disapproval, that Sheridan himself will be
transferred to another sphere of duty.
We trust these conjectures have no founda-
tion except in the wishes of the parties who
PROFOUND them, We are satisfied that any
reversal of Sheridan's proceedings would ope-
rate disastrously upon Union interests at the
South, and that any rebuke or punishment of
Sheridan for steps taken in the performance Of
his duty would be very serious blunder on
the part of the Administration.
1t must be remembered that, apart from
all considerations of legal right, the proceed
ings of Sheridan have in every instance COM
mended themselves to the country as just, and
in the main prudent. The first of the series
of removals-that involving Judge Abell
Attorney-General Heron, and Mayor Monroe
was righteous sequence of the murderous
riot of last July. Their several degrees of
responsibility cannot be more tersely stated
than in the language of the General, explana-
tory of his order "Mayor Monroe controlled
the element engaged in this riot, and when
backed by an Attorney-General who would
not prosecute the guilty, and Judge who ad-
vised the Grand Jury to find the innocent
guilty and let the murderers 60 Free felt secure
in engaging his police force in the riot and
| massacre" The technicalities of legal con-
! struction are as nothing against the substan-
tial justice embodied in this measure; and no
| proceeding could be more calamitous for the
South or the President than any interference
of the latter, looking to the restoration to
Office and honor of these men.
Again, with regard to the Levee Commits
sioners, what is the truth2 Rebel Commits
siOners were in Office, with large fund at
their disposal; Wells, in contravention of law,
put corrupt nominees of his own in their
places, with the ayowed purpose of using the

as one who will not be comforted over the
Uorlds reputation of the venerable Democratic
doctrine in regard to the peculiar fragrance OF

Democrats had strong odor; but it wasn't the
odor. " We, at times says the pious man,

The Covered Bridge.

Tell the fanting soul and weary form
There's a world of the purest bliss,
That is linked, as the soul and form linked,
BY Covered Bridge with this.
Yet to reach that realm on the other shore
We must pass through transient glonm
And must walk unseen, unhelped and alone,
Through the Covered Bridge--the tomb.
But we all pass equal terms,
For the universal toll
j. the outer garb which the hand Of God
Has flung around the world.
Though the eye is dim and the Bridge is dark,
And the river it spans is wide.
Yet Faith points through to a shining mount
That looms on the other side.
To enable our feet in the next days march
To climb up that golden ridge.
We all lie down for nights rest
Inside Of the Covered Bridge. -Dgrid Barber
