1t is not the province Of people gen.

the highest, of the denominations Of our

experts are divided in their opinion a..
to whether they are genuine or not,
then they will become interested. The
Government has already lost, it is said
by some, 8lO0, 600 on single denomi-
nation of o100. But this estimated loss,
mind you. is confined to the Govern
ment. Who knows how many hundred
of those notes have been passed upon
innocent people in different parts of the
country? It il stated that only three Of
those $40 counterfeit notes, about which
there has been so much talk lately, have
made their appearance at the T reasury
Department. That is probably correct
yet it is not sufficient to indicate that
there may not be now thousands Of
them in the honest possession of people
throughout the country, who can lily
afford to suffer on account of mistakes
and blunders at Washington. Those
unfortunate holders of these counter
feits may think, and perhaps Justly too.
that the Superintendent of the making

The Fogg War.

The exciting topic in New Eng
land politics at this moment is
the Chandler and Fogg war in New
Hampshire.
Chandler charges fogg with pro-
posing to sell out the State to Chase
through Sinclair, oopperhead candi-
date for Governor Of that State for
years, and Fogg denies, whercupon
Chandler proves his statements sub.
stantially by two reliable witnesses
who heard the negotiations at the
Eagle Hotel in Concord on tho 22d
of June, 1868, whereupon Sinclair
rushes into print with a statement
that he was not in Concord on that
day, and therefore could not have re.
ceived the proposals Of surrender
from fogg, upon which the Eagle
Hotel Register Of that day is pub
lished, showing that Sinclair was in
that city and hotel on said day, by
all of which it seems pretty conclu
sive that Fogg is proven traitor, and
Sinclair a liar.

Horace Greeley.

"Burleigh" writes to the Post this
of Greeley:
"The one creditable thing connect
ed with the recent election, is the
fact that Horace Greeley's name runs
ahead Of the rest Of the Republican
ticket. Ii partizanship did not make
men as blind as bats at MONDAY, and
as unreasoning as mules, Mr.. Greeley
would have received the vote Of ever
temperate, honest workingman in
the State, as the truest re presents-
tive of their interests, and the most
striking illustration of the results of
industry, sobriety, and honesty. He
is really the representative working
man of our State-all bis sympathies
are with the industrial classes-all
his schemes of political economy are
fashioned in what he believes to be
their interests, his paper, the 7rib-
une, has always championed their
rights and rebuked their oppressors
and every movement in society,
and every institution, which has for
its object the improvement of their
condition, is sure to find in Horace
Greeley most efficient advocate and
supporter. But because his temper
ance, his honesty, and his industry,
have achieved for him both fame and
fortune, not Il few working people
tail to see that he is still their cham.
pion and representative, and foolishly
decry him, and even class him with
the much abhorred "aristocracy.'@
IHut would be too ridiculous for be-
liei If the tools did not every Gay fur
