ES A correspondent ofthe New York
Sun, republican, interviewed HORACE
GREELEY on the Goth and reports him as
saying: tt
There is no doubt that there is a very
widespread feeling Of dissatisfaction with
the Administration among Republicans
My judgment is, that Gen. Grant has
made too many enemies to run--that he
is not the candidate that can be elected
Therefore it is necessary to have another
candidate, and / am quite ready to con
slider who that candidate should be. Time
must determine that question. II we do
not make a new departure, the Democrats
are very likely to do it. l shall have an
article in the next number Of the Galorg
on the One Term principle, and there you
can get my full views on that subject.
"The Republican party" continued
Mr. Greeley, "has been split up so in
Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, and other
sections, by unwisc management, that we
are very likely to be beaten, notwith'
standing our large Republican majority,
unless we take a new candidate. Too
many persons think there is no chance
for them-that everything has been par
celled out and divided up among certain
set The fact is," said Mr.. Greeley,
with melancholy emphasis, "there is a
general feeling that the Grant family is

From n. Y. Sun Qnd, Republican, Of the 10Th.
Grant Nailed.

The Tribune ofyesterday publishes the
following card, received by telegraph
from Gen. Heron, formerly United
States Marshal for Louisiana:
"SIR: The card Of United States Marshal
Packard in the Tribune of the l4th inst, i,
simply an avoidance of the truth, and an ei-
fort to relieve the Federal officials here OF the
odium they deserve. Gov. Warmoth had nc
Custom House or at amy other place selected
for the Convention. as personally know. On
the evening of the 7th inst. Marshal Packard
stated to Gen. Campbell. Judge Dibble, and
MIR. Fish of the Republican that he had the
highest authority IN the land for using the Gus
tom House and troops and has since stated that
Gen Grant authorized il. The order for troops
was obtained from Gen. Reynolds Marshal
Packard having telegraphed him that an at
tack from thugs and bruiscrs upon the
Republican Convention was feared. General
Reynolds did not know the Convention was
to meet in the Custom House, and that the
difficulty was simply between two sets Of del
egates. | further state that Marshal Packard
and his abettors conspired with certain roughs
of the lowest order to aid them in case OF
trouble. in which Gov. Warmoth and his lead
ing friends were to have been killed
"Yours, &c, +. j. lIERRoN.
New Orleans, Aug. IL, ISL"
This card not only stamps Packard as
uttering falsehoods in his attempt,
through the Tribune Of the l4th inst, to
exculpate Gen Grant from responsibility
for the employment oftroops to overawe
and control the State Convention; but 1t
sinks the brand of infamy deep into
Grants own forehead, by giving facts
which will convince everybody except his
most besotted supporters that Grant, and
Gran, primarily aud mainly, was the au.
tho. Of this outrage upon the rights of
American trocmen.
II Grant does not promptly deny these
statements OF Gen. Heron, and by the
most rrefrasuble proofs convict Heron
nd twenty or thirty other citizens OF
Louisiana Of gross untruth, then, unless
the people have made up their minds to
succumb to Military Dictator, they will
drive Grant to the wall now, and demand
that the House Of Representatives i'm.
peach him for high crimes and misde-
meanors as soon as that body assemblies.
There may be a higher crime committed
by President than employing the troops
under his command to pack convention
to secure his own denomination, but there
can hardly be a more dangerous and i'm.
puient one but when, as in this ease It

RAILROADS IN THE TERRIToRY.--The
new town at the junction of the Atlantic
and Pacific railroad with the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas railroad is called
Venita, which in the Cherokee language
signifies field oftlowerS. The name
was suggested by Maj. Il. C. Boudinot,
and is at once beautiful and appropriate.
The depot is nearly completed, and the
road will be finished to the junction in
about week The event will be cele-
brated by grand excursion Of Eastern
editors
The Missouri, Kansas and Texas road
and the Atlantic and Pacific road are not
on good terms among their managers,
and each of course tries to get the better
of the other. The 81. X. d. T. road was
finished first, and misled by what they
supposed to be the line on which the A.
d p. road was to be built, secured the
lease of the lands around the junction and
erected depot and buildings. The At
antc and Pacific road however has been
built to point some four miles north to
a junction, where the land had been Sc
cured by that corporation. Propositions
to erect union depot were rejected. and
it is supposed that the NJ. X. & 4. juno.
ton depot will be removed to within
about half mile of tnat of the A, d 2.
road.
Neither road is shipping many Texas
cattle at present owing to the low prices
and continued drouth in Texas and the
Territory, which has nearly destroyed
the grass. 1t is not expected that active
shipping will take place until the latter
part Of September Neosho Journal.

Is done under false pretences, and by
practising deception upon the general Of
ncer who controlled the troops, there
certainly cannot be a more dastardly and
sneaking one.
Unless Gen. Grant clears up this mat
ter so thoroughly that not film of sus-
picion can rest upon his conduct in re.
gard to this transaction, then ifthe Re.
publican party has the hardihood to re.

@ Grants Interference with the Ior

@ Grants interference with the Lou.
isiana Republican Convention calls out
the following remarks from the New York
San:
"When the Ku.klux bill was before
Congress, the Sun repeatedly warned the
people that it was bill expressly pre-
pared to enable Grant to force the elec.
ton OF delegates favorable to his re-
nomination from the Southern States to
the next National Republican Conven-
ton The scene in New Orleans yestcr-
day, proves that this warning should
have been needed What has been done
in Louisiana may be done in Alabama,
and in South and North Carolina But
even under the Ku klux law the President
has no power to use United States troops
as they were used in New Orleans yester-
day. He has usurped the power. He
has no more right to interfere with Re-
publican Convention in Louisiana, than
he has to interfere with Republican
Convention in New York lie has no
more right to point bayonet at the
breast of a Wa,meM delegate to the Lou,
isiana Convention than he mas to point
bayonet at the breast of Greeley dele
gate to the New York Republican State
Convention. If he may do one, he may
do the other. Grants action yesterday
was a glarng usurpation of the rights OF
the people. 1t gives strong color to the
prediction Of Gen. Frank Blair that
Grant would use the army, if necessary,
to retain his hold upon the White
House. "
