sure, which were "cut and dried, were voted down
by small majority, after long and stormy de-
bate, and the following "compromise" blowing
hot and blowing cold at the same time
therefor.
Resoloed. That the Union League Club Of New
York decidedly dsapproyes and condemns the
bailing Of Jefferson Davis, the read OF the late
bloody rebellion believing that he has been guilty
Of unparalleled crimes against his country and
humanity and decent regard for the patriotism
Of the people. for the s"cricea Of the war and for
the sacredness Of Justice, required that he should
be detained in prison until tried for his crimes. :,
the Hon. Horace Greeley relative to the bailing OF
Jefferson Davis which calls for any proceeding on
the part Of this Club.
TIE NEXT PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN is not very far
of. Already there is great scheming and plotting,
log-rolling and ire-puling to compass that great
end GRANT and WADE, CHASE and BuTEER would
80 far seem to be the most prominent candidates.
A Washington correspondent Of the Cincinnati
Commercial gives detailed account Of the in
trigues and msnnuvres that are in progress at
Washington to secure the nomination OF BEN.
WADE, Of Ohio for the Presidency, or failing that
for the Wce-Presidsncy. He says that Judge D.
Z. CARTER, Of the District Of Columbia, is fore.
most in this movement, being especially anxious
to defeat Chief Justice CHASE, again, as he did in
1850 In order to get Gen. GRANT out Of the way,
Judge CARTER, according to this correspondent
recently called upon him, and formally and in his
most impressive manner announced to the
General that the time had arrived when
he must make his decision whether ne was
willing to be candidate for the Presidency Of the
United States on the Republican ticket or not.
Gen. g. not like TO answer such direct questions;
but gave his nterlocutor to understand that while
he did not seek the Office, ETC., etc., he should not
feel at liberty, DO This was not what Judge CAR
TER wanted, for q. 8. GRANT Is formidable can
didate; and it will by no means be easy ITO
WADE through slaughter to throne"
The Scottish American Journal, has the follow
lowing inquiry after young noblemsn at large:
SR HUGH CRAWFORD PoLLoK.-Some time ago,
the death Of Sir HUGH CRAwFURD POLLOK was an
nounced, and it was stated that his son, the heir
had gone away Of his own accord, and could not
be heard Of by his relatives. Mr.. CRAwruRD (now
Sir HuaH) sailed from Liverpool for New York by
the nmsn line OF steamers, in the Fall Of 1856, and
it is supposed that he is now travelling incognto in
the United States. Without any apparent reason
he has kept his whereabouts secret from his family
and friends and il this paragraph should meet his
eye it Is to Do hoped that it will stimulate him to
look after his interests He is heir to Pollok Css-
tie and s5OOO year.
The members Of the Holy Synod Of the Greek
Church, with large number OF other influential
persons, have signed manifesto to repel the
current aspersions against their country, by
showing the progress made by the kingdom, not
withssanding the narrow territory to which they
were go cruelty limited by! the great powers. They
say: mo people, in thrtythr years, has marched
onward with more rapid steps. All our towns, at
one time quite in ruins, have been rebuilt; new
ones have been founded; the population has
tripled there is no village that has not school,
no child that cannot read; our young men aook to
the University; four thousand vessels and thirty
thousand Greek sailors cooperate inthe. CONNER
cial relations Of Europe; our ports are improved;
new roads are being opened;i the Banktof Athens
is one Of the most prosperous in Europe; mer-
chants have factories al over the world; asricu-
ture by means Of individual efforts and the intel
Egent associations Of our farmers, has made rapid
progress, and certain Of these branches might,
perhaps. even serve as models in all these coun-
tries. Lastly, we are striving, even when scarcely
emerged from q revolution, to practice, without
disturbances, all civil, political and religious ber-
ties."
JOHN W. FoaNEY, in bis speech to oolored dele
CATION which waited upon him just before he
''saied away to sea-" said:-.I believe the day is
coming and that it is not far distant, when, from
the State of South Carolina there viii be in the
halls Of Congress black man, abler than JOHN G.
CALHOUN ever was, and that there will go from the
State Of Kentucky at least as able q black man as
HENRY CLAY" and, we. may safely add, when a
black man will fill the office Of Clerk Of the United
STATES Senate who will discharge the duties Of his
position with more ability and fidelity than JOHN
gentleman. So says the Boston Post.
sJ W. F., Jr.," is writing letters from Italy for
the Press, and deserves commendaion for tho
very correct estimate he places upon his own abii-
ties. He witnessed the grand illumination Of st.
Peters at Rome on the night before Easter Sum
day; and in place Of attempting description of
his own, he copies an account Of it given several
years ago by Mrs. AMELIA B. EDWARDS, in one
Of her novels. This is sensible.
SOCIETY GOSSIP is the title of new department
in that gilt-edged sweet opopona1 scented heb
domadal, the New York Home Journal. Under
this head it publishes "Engagements," as thus:
"a daughter Of the Rev. DIR. Rooms is engaged 70
Mr. WALKER, Of this city,. Next, Entertain
ments." The following are some Of them: ION
Thursday evening, Miss LULA CLARK gave Ger
man. On the same evening, Mr. and Mrs.
Bowen celebrated their wooden wedding by re-
ception and sJiree dansante, and Miss BELKNAP,
Lexington avenue, gave small party" This ls
aping European high-ife with vengeance. How
ever, we would scarcely expect shoddyisrn to be
very poeticL or romantic. Meretricious vulgarity
is OF its very essence; and the aDove-named Miss
Nancy Journal, it appears, has become the regular
organ Of this clique of e1quisites. How intensely
interesting, for instance is the following, which
also appears under the head Of Entertainments"
ga few days previous to his departure for Eng.
land, Mr.. PEABODY gave dinner party, at Boston
to some intimate gentleman friends. After the
cloth had been removed, Mr.. PEAB ,DY rose and
proposed to drink the health of the Youngest SOD
OF any gentleman present. One gentleman said
he had little son three months old; another said
his son was only six weeks old: while another'a
was but two weeks. MIR. JENKINs, Of Boston, rose
and said his son was but torty-eight hours old.
Having filled their glasses, Mr. PEABODY rose and
said: we will drink the health Of GEORGE PEA

Livery now and then We see inquiry made in
literary journals about the paternity of some lines
of poetry, or 1t may be quotation of pithy bit
Of prose. These orphans thus cast upon the
literary world not unfrequently are OF very repu-
table origin, but labor under the misfortune Of
having lost their progenitors. Being thus thrown
