NEW YORK, June l.
A howl has gone UP from oil the Republican
papers over MT. Jefferson Daris's latest speech
at Atlanta, aud the Democratic papers, seeing
instinctively how much party capital the Re
publicans can manufacture out Of it, have
made great haste to repudiate the speaker
and his sentiments. The speech was tee
graphed in full from Atlanta to the New York
Herald, the correspondent adding Illustrative
comments, the substance Of which being that
the Southern people were ripe for another
''re5ellion, " and that Mr. Davis was traversilg
the South with incendiary speeches to fire the
Confederate heart. Since the Ku-Klux buea-
boo was pretty well exploded, the Radical
papers and orators have been at O loss what

bellion, as they now give it In the bead lines,
is q perfect Godsend. The speech is cited 10

arbitrament Of arms, and to justify disfran-
chisement and martial law, and further pairs,
penalties and repressions.

dates, with his sanction. He is willing 20
contest the Republican nomination with Preei-
dent, Grant, wnom he distrusrs and despise5.
Greeley Is very vain. II would be no difficult
task for any ~fiatterer to persuade him that his
chances for nomination and election are very
good. But he stands as much prospect Ut
being President Of the United States as be
does of Lord Mayor OF London. or Emperor Of
Germany. His ayowed prOtectionism would
swamp him in every Western State, and even
If his party was in the majority In this State lie
could not carry it, for the Conkllng faction
hate him almost as much as they hate his
friend Fenton.
