The rejection by the Senate Of such nomina-
tions as General Couch for Collector of Boston,
General Frank Blair for Minister to Austria,
and General Slocum as Naval Officer for this
port, has created very general feeling OF in-
dignation. These gentlemen are among the
bravest and most deserving of the officers who
gave their services towards putting down the
rebellion. General Couch distinguished him
self during Lees invasion Of Pennsylvania;
General Blair earned high military honors in
the West and South, and General Slocum served
ns division commander under Sherman in his
famous march to the sea and back through the
Carolinas. Now, the rejection of such men for
Offices demanding far inferior capacity to
theirs, and that In favor Of mere partisans, can
only be characterized as atrocious insolence.
The whole country feels insulted in the indig-
nifty offered them. This Is the worst thing that
the radicals have as yet attempted In Congress,
and they may rest assured that they win be
made to suffer for IL

The Republicans Brcanins up.

The republicans are breaking to pieces
rapidly. Dana, formerly of the Tribune, with
one of the Conklings, has purchased Tammany
Hall, and with capital Of two dollars, or two
hundred dollars, or two thousand dollars, or
two hundred thousand, or two millions, we do
not know which, Is about TO start new paper
10 run against the Tribune. So the republicans,
who have hardly yet succeeded In reorganizing
the South, are busily employed in disorganixing
themselves They are about to divergc into
three distinct factions-one under Greeley,
second under Weed and third under Dana,
each with an organ slung about his neck, rather
burdensome to carry but capable Of making
great noise and creating considerable discord.
Well we wish Dana luck in his enterprise and a
full third for his share; and as to the republicans
generally, we wish they may have a good time
and plenty Of Fat Offices to enable them to

General SlOcu IN.

Msjor General Henry w. Slocum was named
by the President for the vacant position Of naval
officer Of tho port Of New York and the United
States Senate has refused to confirm this ad-
mirable nomination. General Slocum was
educated at West Point He went 10 the war
IS Colonel Of the Twenty-scventh regiment Of
New York Volunteers, and served in the battle
Of Bull run. Prompt thus to be present in
the first possible, battle, there was scarcely
afterwards great field on which the national
cause was to be upheld from which he wss
absent He went to the Peninsula with the
Army Of the Potomac and did heroic service
through AL that terribly destructive campaign.
He went through the memorable seven days
around Richmond. AT Crampton's Pass on the
South Mountain he stormed and carried by
assault rebel position on hill side, so rough
and of such difacult access that the men who
voted agains. him would probably refuse to
climb it in even these peaceful, pastoral days.
He was at The battle Of Antietam! He was at
the Charlottesville fight, commanding the
Twelfth corps, and when the Eleventh corps
broke Slocum's lines were what the enemy
found in their way, and what kept them from
sweeping like deluge down the rear of our
lines. There Slocum saved the army. Slocum
also commanded the Twelfth corps through the
glorious three days Of the Gettysburg battle;
and opposed Immediately all that magnificent
fighting by which the enemy endeavored TO-
turn the right-Gghting their way all along
bis front from Spangler's Spring to Cemetery
Hill. Slocum next went to the Western Army,
and did such efHcient service that when the
force was made up for Sherman's march from
Atlanta to the ses, he was given the COM
mand of one of the two columns into which
force was organised. Thus from
the first fight to the field Of Joe Johnsons sur
render Slocum was in the front line Of glorious
service. He was it for that service, but his
opinions do not suit certain United States
Senator's, and he cannot have once. Does not

Triple Shoot To-Merrew.
The business advertisements of the HERALD
have increased so enormously that we shall be
obliged to resort to the unusual step Of publishing
triple sheet tomorrow Sunday.
The moat advantageous medium for city advcr-
tisements is. we need scarcely tell our readers,
our Sunday issue. II gives them larger circu-
latiou than that Of all the Sunday papers put to-
gother. It has this additional advantage, that it
psrtakes more Of . family character than that Of

The proper classification of advertisements adds
greatly to their value. In order to insure this
benefit the business community will have to send

fhe Eastern middle stili continues. II iss
impossible, however, mot TO feel that events
ere ripeni4gs sua tast w .nv spproaching,
some solaHon. Of &s diflcnlSy. One Of PES
terdays tslegfans announced that The govern
mont Of Gaesee hedc asked The lasding Euro-.
pean Powers to Intervene 30 u to prevent fur
ther ennsiou Of blood In the Island Of Candia.
From this It Ia manifest that Greece 10 sssum-
ing . more plucky and spirited attitude
towards her natural and hereditary rival.
Nothing, in fact has been more curious in
connection with this whole Eastern question
than the hesitstion and apparent fearfulness
on the part both Of Turkey and Greece
to como into open collisien. Neither on ~ ons.
sids nor on the other have hostile feelings been
wanting. II Turkey has provoked Greece by
the rigorous measures she has adopted to
maintain the integrity Of the empire, Greece
has not the less provoked Turkey by the SYM
pathy which shc has extended and the assistance
which she has lent to her insurgent subjects.
Netting but dread Of uncertain but probable
consequences has hitherto kept those two
Powers from open conflict The Ottoman gov
ernment knowing full we'll the sympathy
which b felt all over Europe for the struggling
Christians, has wisely abstained, in tho midst
Of much provocation, from attacking Greece.
Greece, on the other hand, sensible Of
her inability TO struggle alone against the
government Of the Sultan, and uncertain Of
the light in which her conduct might be viewed
by the other European Powers, has not allowed
her sympathy for the Crctans to carry her to
too wild an extreme. There has been reserve
on both sides. II we rightly understand this
last telegram Greece has at length resolved to-
ding that reserve to the winds ssrg.
We're we called upoa to explain this grow
ing boldness OF Grsece, 1t would not, we think,
be dificult to discover sufficient reason forit in
the ground which Russia has taken and the in
creasing anxiety which she is manifesting in the
interests Of the Christian populations Of Turkey.
Il is more than probable that Greece, in the re-
quest which she has presented to the European
Powers, is backed mp by the influence Of Rus
sia. It is at least significant that Greece
should adopt this course SO soon after the pub
ication Of those diplomatic notes addressed by
the Russian government to their representative
at the Court Of St James. Russia has no desire
to attempt the solution of the Eastern question
by another Crimean war; but recent events
make it no longer doubtful that she has not yet
finally abandoned those ambitious designs
which, il realized, would seat her in triumph
on the shores of the Bosphorus and make her
flag the symbol OF power on the waters Of the
Mediterranean. What success will attend this
move on the part of Greece, or what fresh COM
plications may spring from il o few moro days
will determine.

He has gone, mid the fragrance of summers
last flowers,
To rest all alone In the dark, weary tomb.
While woeps the sad earth that FROM its brish
bowers
A gem has keen taken-a rose In full bloom'
In the "once happy home" scat Is now
vacant,
A silver-toned Tyre untouched and unstrungi
For the hand that erst Ger II cheered sorrows,
deep, latent,
Wakes praises to cod the angels among.
O, tell me not then. that the kind, gentle
hearted
rehushed in the damps of merciless tomb |;
That the low, cheering sounds of his voice ere
eparted
Will no more awaken the heart from It's
gloom.
His pure and bright spirit rests not meath
deaths pinion,
But the graves boosted horrors hath scorn-
fully spurned.
And scars unencumbered by the clay's vain
dominion.
To the port whence twas borrowed and
quickly returned.
Then let us weep for time tits to weep
When steals among us grim deaths dark
form;
And shuts the bright eye in the last breathle's
sleep
ofone we have cherished with feelings so
warm.
Let us mingle our tears with the streamlet's
sad motion,
The signs of the birds, and their deep wailing
lays;
For all nature mourns from its breasts deep
emotion
Ger the loss of Tyre which rejOiced in its
praise.
Weep, friends, wife. sons, daughter-all weep.
A branch has been plucked from the family
tree;
But let tears and submission sweet unison keep,
For the star, though now shrOuded, shines
brightly for thee
As a sunbeam that trembling'y has played in
life's ocean.
Illumining the spray with its silyery beam,
Turned away in disgust ntits angry commotion,
And sought its bright home on Happiness
stream.
But weep not in vain. for his spirits near thee,
In each spot it was wont to inhabit on earth,
Still ljsping sweet words 10 console and to
cheer thee,
0fheaven, of God, and religions true worth.
From the now vacant chair that stlnds by the
hearth,
