Greeley at the South.

That was a happy thought of Mr..
Greeley's which prompted him to go
South and see for himself what the
land and the people are like. It
would have been better for the readers
of the Tribune and for the peace of the
country, in so far as that, paper has
the power of affecting it, had its ed
iter given more personal study by
actual observation, to the condition of
the South, and less of a prsoYstheories
of what he supposed that condition to
be. But the South, recognizing in
Mr.. Greeley a man who has done her
much injustice in his day, is now so
happy TO have him come down there,
and give her the first opportunity she
has enjoyed of correcting his crude
Impressions about her, that she does
not complain that he has delayed his
visit SO long. On all sides, even more
among those who have been his life
long political opponents than among
his friends the pleasure of seeing him
does away with all thought of blam-
ing or reproducing him for the harm
that his old-time ignorance of the
South has inflicted upon her. His
passage through the South is almost a
t~riumphal procession. Some of the
curiosity and interest he excites may
explained by his personal peculiarities,
of which exaggerated descriptions and
doubtfully authentic anecdotes have
preceded him. But the novelty of
Mr.. Greeley's reception at the South,
lies mostly in the fact that out of so ne
hundreds of Radical editors who have
been instructing the people of the
North regarding their Southern fell
low-countrymen, he is positively the
first one OF any celebrity ever known
to penetrate the Southern States be-
yond- hichmond at the East OF Louis
vile at the West. To the Southern
mind a Northern Radical editor is q
greater wonder than a giraffe, or a
rhinoceros !; for the latter, though I'M
commonly are %visitants, have at times
made the Southern tour with the trav.
cling menageries; whereas Mr.. Gree.
ley is the first fine specimen of his
kind who has ever attempted it. But
beyond all this, we are happy to add,
in perfect seriousness, there is E. be-
lief at the South that Mr.. Greeley
will honestly report men and thing;
as he finds them. Should he do so
as we doubt not that he will, so far a.
he depends on his own experience, the
effect of his visit will be good upon
those persons Who are accustomed to
take their cue blindly from him.
His speech at New Orleans, which
contained the first impressions that We
have seen of his trip up to that point:
made admissions which we commend
to the perusal of all those Radical cd
itors who find it more to their taste tc
stay at home and libel the South thar
to go there and investigate the facts
Among many things of similar import.
he said: There would not be a Ku'
Klux in the land now if there had
been a general amnesty five years ago
1t would have reunited the people an6
healed the wounds produced by the
war" Bravo, Mr.. Greeley, for thai
candid utterance = Journal Of Com,
naerce.

KILLED BY A TRAIN.

This morning, MAY 26,) at about
seven o'clock, another of those sad
railway accidents, for which nc one
but the unfortunate victims are il
fault, happened close by the railway
shops of the Cleveland & Pittsburgh
road in this city.
Some men were at work on the ma
sonry for weighing scales, for the rail,
road company, when a shower came
up and they all started for the shops
to be under shelter. Two of them
were slower than the rest, William
Mcintosh and Duncan McBane.-
Just how the form r came to be stand
ing on the railway track at that mo-
ment is not known. No one seems to
have seer him step on the track. but
an instant before the accident occur
red, McBane CHANGED to look around,
and he saw Mcintosh between the
rails, and a moving freight train IN
frighfful proximity. Mcintosh saw his
danger too late. He seems not to
have heard or noticed the train until
a second or two before he was struck,
and although he made a desperate
effort to escape, he was knocked down
and run over.
Death must have been almost in
stantaneous, for his body was badly
crushed. The train was stopped as
soon as possible, and the remains ia
ken from under the cars. Coroner
Schenck was notified. and held an in
quest at halfpast nine o'clock. Yer
dict was rendered to the effect that
the deceased came to his death by be.
ing accidentally run over by a train
The mangled body was sent to How
lands to be prepared for burial, and
will be sent this afternoon to- Wells
vile where the deceased lived and
where his widow now resides. He
was a man about thirty-five years old.

We are opposed to the system of land
