Ese.,.ayl1aDIc inconsistency

Nh. Greeley is strange compound.
With man. good traits Of personal cliarlc-
ter, and ilUt without virtues as Il politician,
Ii, is an odd mixture Of contraretics. lie
has, ut least, been consistent i'll his aeivo-
clcy of General Amnesty, and for this We
are Willing to forgive him much Of harsh
Judgment and prejudicial policy towards the
South. w thank him for his just apprc-
citation and exposure Of Grants unfitncSS
for the position he holds, his imbecility and
his vcnality, but yet we cannot altogether
forget that Mir. Greeley was largely instrII-
mental III putting him there. We are
grateful for his vigorous ilcnunciation Of the
carpct-jag thieves who have infested and
robbed the South, but then, it is lament
ably true that he has been the ablGSt adj
vn;-l.c Of the DEMONSTRATION policy,
which bred them as y putrcfyin2 carcass
does foul worms, and gave license to rob-
berry and spoliation. But, rerph#ps, the
most striking exhibition Of inconsistency
on the part of the erratic Greeley, is to be
found i'll the following brief paragraph,
which we clip from Il laIc number Of the

Governor Vance.

The adoption of Senator Morton's amend
ment to the General Amnesty Bill ON
Thursday, now pending before Congress,
inva'idating the election Of Senators and
Representatives now claiming seats, Will
we suppose, destroy all chances for the adj
mission of Governor VANCE in the Senate
If the meagre Geographic report of the
purport of this amendment be correct, it is
evidently aimed at Governor VANCE, as he
is, we believe, the only Senator, and eN-
cept ). III. ROGERs, of the Raleigh district
the only applicant, for a seat in either House
of Congress, whose political disabilities is
the bar to his admission. For some days
past letter-writers have stated that Messls.
Morton, Stewart aud Edmunds, who seem
to direct all the vindictive legislation of
the Senate, We're bitterly opposed to any Of
the leading men of the South being allowed
to return to Congress. Their efforts seem
to have been directed to have the
Committee on Elections, two of the
three being members thereof, to rcpori
in favor ofthe seating of General Abbott,

Bill, under the operation of Which he

having been pressed before the action of
the Committee OH Elections. Senator Nor.
ton has made a successful strike directly at
Governor VANCE.
The concurrence of the House in this
amendment would render Governor
FANCEs chances hopeless, and he would
ofcourse, resign his seat at once, 50 that
the Legislature could fill it. This would be
the only course left to him.
In the meantime, General Abbott is press
ing his claims before the Committee. His
political friends have claimed that he would
be admitted, but this action of the Senate,
SO evidently intended TO exclude Governor
VANCE from his seat, upon other grounds,
does not present a hopeful aspect for The
pretensions Of Abbott.
