most charitable construction that could be
put upon them, amounted TO swearing
While on the stand as q witness, Mr. GREE
LEY was asked, in reference to the truth of
Mr.. REEDS statement: Ibid you swear in
the expression that you made use off Did
you make use of any oathf Z" To which Mr..
GREELEY promptly replied: Oath 7 No,
sir |" His case now stood upon rock, and,
as the lawyers say, he should have rested.
But he was further asked Didn't you swear
In conversing with Mr.. REEDr Quite of
his guard and without seeming TO SEQ that
his answer could be twisted to his prejudice
he responded, "Not once where he has pub.
lished five times" When further pressed
with the question, Did you swear at all y
he replied with that candor which ever
marks his character: al might have said
once something to that effect" After record
ing this answer, the reporter of the trial
adds as he might well do Sensation p
Nothing, however, is absolutely proven by
these admissions: and with candid minds
they will hardly outweigh Mr. GREELEYs
previous, that he did not make use Of any
oath in tho course of tho whole interview.
But even this docs not dispose Of the sub.
jcct, as II ought TO be disposed of. Here we
have the Hon. ID. c. HENDERSON of Mich.
gan, who ccrtifes in tho AHCgdR journal
that he has held for several years intimate
confidential relations with Mr.. GREELEY"
and that the last named gentleman when
he is mad will swear like a trooper in good
plain Saxon English" This declaration
from such source-for Mr.. HENDERSON
seems to regard swearing as rather commend.
ablo-throws tho whole matter into doubt
again, and, we are sorry to say, leaves the
question as much befogged as ever.
We are aware that men Of high standing
will sometimes swear, when they are
brought under unexpected mental excitement
Gen. WASHINGTON swore at Monmouth I;
Gen. SHERMAN sworc at Chickasaw Bluffs !;
and Gen. SHERIDAN swore furiously at Ce-
dar Creek. But profanity is none the less an
ungentlemanly and wicked thing; and we
are glad TO testify that Gen. GRANT never
swears. If it be true that Mr.. GREELEY
sometimes gives way to this shocking prac-
tice, we trust that no will lose no time in be.
ginning to fight within himself against II
until he shall conquer his evil predisposi-
tion, and achieve o thorough and lasting re.
form. Why should good man like HORACE
GREELEY be habitually a profane sweaIer
We hope he is not but if he is, we cntreat
him to 60 to work at once and earnestly TO
overcome the depravity which leads TO such
habit.

Shall we Helm Cuba

&c. JORDAN arrived in this city yoster-
day from Nassau. He retains his connection
with the Cuban Republic, and intends to re-
turn as soon as his mission in this country
can DO accomplished. lie comes to present
10 the people Of the United States the urgent
necessities of Cuba. What is required there
above all things else sarms. There are men
plenty, excellent fighting material, men Of
resolution and patriotism, ready to face any
danger and endure any hardship. This, Gen.
JORDAN tells us, is true Of the negroes "a
well us Of the white Cubans. But they have
not arms they have never had anything
like n supply OF muskots or any other species
of military weapons and for this reason COM
plcte military organization has been imprac
ticable among them. They also suffer from
deficiency of ammunition but this want can
be more easily supplied. The business of
Gen. JORDAN in this county is, in short, to
procure q sufficient quantity of arms to ena-
Die the Cubans to achieve their independence.
1t is his assured conviction that the Cuban
Republic can maintain itself and gain an
ultimate victory, even with its present in
suiIiciency of warlike material and organ
ization but this will be long pro-
cess, and the work will have to be
done mainly by guerilla warfare. One
of its consequences will be the destruc.
ton of the plantations and the conversion of
the most cultivated portions of the island
into a desert. To save Cuba as it is, the war
must be made short. with one hundred
thousand stand OF arms the Spaniards could
be driven from the island in ninety days.
Gen. JORDAN will also appeal to our sym
pathes in behalf of the women of Cuba.
The revolution has shut them out from all
means of obtaining necessary supplies of
clothing for themselves and their families.
Ladies of refinement and cultivation are in
q state of the greatest destitution and suffer
ing in this respect; and it is TO be hoped that
the women of the United States will, out Of
their great abundance. take means to supply
this want.
We call upon all friends Of liberty, upon
all who believe in American principles, 70
come forward and contribute to these objects
The authority of Gen. JORDAN from the Re
publican Government Of Cuba is ample and
unquestlonable. Due arrangements will be
made for the reception of subscriptions, and
we shall announce at an early day where
those who desire 10 contribute can do So
Let us sec to it that this great and holy ause
is not suffered longer TO remain in its present
state of weakness aud indecision. We
have the means in abundance to make Cuba
free country before the close of the present
summer. Let us put our hands into oui
pockets, and il will be done.

The Court of Appeals-Dissatisfact ton
with Democratic Candidates.

There prevails among the Democracy in
this part of the State great dissatisfaction
with the ticket Of their party for the Court
of Appeals.
The German Democrats are oil bitterly OPP
posed TO Judge ALLEN on account of his
celebrated decision in the LINpENMULLER
case. They believe that in that decision he
struck q blow at the fundamental principle
of religious liberty and they know that he
attacked all their ideas and opinions respect.
ing the proper mode of Observing Sunday.
Accordingly, they are determined not 10 vote
for him.
The opposition against Mr. RAPAILo Is
stronger even than that against Judge
ALLEN, and much more general in the party.
1t is boldly asserted that Mr.. RAPALLo is
not Democrat, and has never voted Demo
cratic ticket and many Democrats are re-
solved that they VIII not vote ticket which
bears his name. This impression respecting
Mr.. RAPALLos politics may or may not be
mistaken; but about another reason for
Democratic hostility TO his nomination there
cannot be any mi stake. We refer to his
Identification with the Central Railroad in
tercst. II is evident that it was this interest
| which gave him the nomination, and the
mass Of the party DO not relish taking their
candidates from such source. Railroad
monopolies are powerful enough without
having Judges on the bench of our highest
Court and for this reason thousands
of the best kind of Democrats will not
only refuse their votes to Mr.. RAPALLo,
tell against him.
The same cause will render Judge PECK.
HAM much weaker in the canvass than would
otherwise be the case, considering his charac
ter as Democrat and his attainments as a
lawyer, Judge PEcKUAM is a hearty, popu-
lar man. AMI people like to vote for him but
lie too is regarded as representing tho Cen.
trail Railroad on this ticket, and will be OPP
posed accordingly. lie is much stronger
candidate than Mr.. RAPALLo, and his personal
qualities, combined with the efforts Of the
Central managers, will doubtless give him
considerable vote; but great numbers Of in
dependent Democrats Will feel il to be their
duty to withhold their sunrages from him.
The means that will be taken 70 make ef-
fcctive the opposition TO these three cand-
dates will Doubtless be tic preparation and
circulation of Democratic tickets with such
names as the following;
