ception OF "peace' is to fight for it; and

ton to the Southern people for slaves
emanoipated by Linooln's proclamation
He is very sensitive. His words ars re.
markable. We quote without comment
literally except to Itaiicize single line
which comedies the justice of the claims
for compensation, which the colored
population would hail with delight as
quleting all their troubles for the future.
The Press, of the 18Th of July, says:
III through the Greeley coalition the
ex-rebels of the South should themselves
become again the controlling element of
majority party, with President and
Congress subservient to their wishes, is
1T not moro than likely that they would
demand compensation for their emanci-
pated slaves? Remembering that Mr..
Greeley advocated compensated emanci-
patton in 1862. and, no doubt, from a
sincere belief that it was Just, he might
not as President regard the claim as pre-
posterous. even at this late day. The
Democracy at Baltimore adopted, with.
out change, the Cincinnati platform,
whose seventh clause says: The public
credit must be sacredIy maintained, and
zoe dcnouncs Reputation in euery form or
guise.' Once restored to power, mainly
by the votes OF the Southern States,
this party might be disposed to give the
widest construction to this plank of their
platform. The slavc-owners would un.
questionably present their bills to the
National Government and urge, not ,cith-
out a speciouS sho,o Of plausibiHiy, that

LoNaFRI1ow's ACCIDENT GAME
HoRsE.-It will be learned with extreme
regret by the large class interested in
sporting matters that Johni Harper's
great horse, Longfellow, was disabled
from racing, it is feared for IIfe,. by an
accident at the Saratoga course yester-
day. That this took place in race
which saw two and qnarter miles, .ac-
complished in three minutes and fifty
nine seconds-the fastest time ON record
Twill make the accident the moro re-
gretable, when, too, 1t is learned that
Longfellow only lost the race by a length.
One OF his plates became twisted in the
running and cut the ;other foot and leg
badly, but the heart of the horse never
weakened. Heo ran gamely as ever TO
the end, and was led of limping and
bleeding to the stable. There seams
something in this of plnck. almost hero
ism, which man arrogates entirely to
himself; hut two miles and quarter on
little better than three legs and in such
time will challenge admiration the world
over. It will be remembered that he
recently beat his successful rival Of yes.

great deal OF history-especially ec>
clesiastical history-was made in the last
brief session of the North German Par
lament, whose pre.eminent measure was
the anti.Jesuit bill. This bill .saholishes
the converts and other establishments
OF the order on German soil; it extends
the same veto to all other orders and
religious societies connected with the
Jesuits. leaving to the Government to
determine which those societies are: and
it confors on the administrative authori-
ties the right, not, indeed, to expel,the
Jesuits, as first proposed, but to assign
to them the localities where alone they
may reside. This latter clause will. of
course, have the same effect as expulsion:
for no Jesuit will allow himself to be
hanished to the Danish frontier, to live
under surveillance among purely Pro-
testant people, if he has the alternative
OF voluntary expatriation left him. But
thereis flaw in the Act which we dx,
not know whether the Government will
succeed in removing. Wishing to make
sure OF the law being sanctioned by the
higher powers, Parliament made it de-
pendent on the decision of the Federal
Council whether the necessary orders for
the restraining of the individual Jesuits
were to be issued by the Central Govern
ment OK by the authorities of the various
States. Ii the latter mode prevail, it is
Just possible that the measure will not
be carried out with equal stringency in
every part OF the empire"

Aucne BY one the States elect their delegates 90
the National Democratic Convention, indicating a
very great unanimity for Greeley and Brown the
Liberal Candidates, the Radicals become more and
more uneasy. A very great many arguments are
almost daily adduced % show that no Democrat
who remembers the past, can consistently yotc for
Greeley. just so. The philosopher Of the fri-
Jaue We are quite free to say, would never, under
any other circumstances, havo been sustained by

that as they cannot elect the mas Of their orn

Indiana.

VITA regard 10 ;hc very clear and satisfacto-
ry decision Of Indiana on the presidential
question, the New York IfiJuse has the fol-
lowing just paragraph:
" \ large and notable convention Of p.smi-
nsnt citizens came together, consulted with
each other and with the leading public men Of
the State, and resolved that the Cincinnati
platform is a satisfactory expression Of the as
pirations Of all the men who desire reform,
aud the election of the Cincinnati ticket the
best means of putting these principles into
practice. Tire convention nominated for Gov
ernor Mr.. Hendricks the ablest and most
unsulisd statesman whom the State has in re-
cent years produced-the best man in the
State to embody the new aud powerful revolt
Of the spirit oflaw against Che spirit oflawless-
ness. His acceptance Of the nomination is the
happiest omen of the canvass His name has
been for the last few years the one most prom
inently mentioned for the presidency among
those intelligent Democrats who have wished
to re-establish the regular and normal reign Of
constitutional law. He is a man with whom
legality is religion, and it is men such a. he
who are best fitted to cure the country Of its
lingering fancy FOR a Government of general
orders and aides-de-camp."

Editors Telegraph and .NesseaJer
Mr.. Voorhees,, in his recent attack on Mr.
Greeley, styled his signing of Davis bond an
''impertincnt interference" Allow me to give
yOu the truo history Of the matter as | recent
ly learned it in New York, from gentleman
who knew all about it, Mrs. Davis went to
New York to consult Charles O'Conor, Mr..
Davis counsel, rs to the best manner of effect
ing his release from prison. Mr. O'COnor told
her that in his opinion there was Jut one way
that il could be done, and that was 10 get the
representative man Of the Republican party to
sign his bond Mrs. Davis inquired who that
man was Mr.. O'Conor replied that it was
Horace Greeley She then asked if he would
not SEQ Mr.. Greeley and get him to do it
He replied that he had no influence with Mr.
Greeley, and that she was the proper person to
see him. She went to his Office, sent in her
card and was invited into bis private Office
She said to him:
q Mr.. Greeley; my husband is confined in
caSemate at Fortress Monroe lie has been
there for many long, weary months. lie is a
feeble old man, and he is gradually sinking
under rigorous imprisonment. He will die if
he remains there much longer / came here
to consult Mr.. O'CUnor as to the means of get
ting him released. He he's told me that there
is but one way TO do it, and that is to get the
representative man of the Republican party to
sign his bond, and says that you are the man.
He says that you have a kind heart, aud that
you will do it, if you believe it to be right
Ny husband IS dying. Mr. Greeley, may |
hope that you will !a@orably consider my ap-
plication ?"
Mr.. Greeley arose, extended his hand to
Mrs Davis, and said Madam, you may, for
| will sign his bond" Mr. Greeley was then
prominent candidate before the Legislature
for the United States Senate Some Of his
friends heard that be had agreed to sign Mr.
Davis bond, they went to him and protested
agsinstit. They told him that they had made
a count, and that he would be elected by six
majority, but that if lie signed the bond it
would defeat him. He replied; a know it
will. They told him that he was one of the
owners Of the TriJrae, and ii be signed this
bond he would lose thousands of subscriber-
He replid | know IT," They said, Mr.
Greeley, you have written a history Of the war
one volume you have ont, and have sold large
numbers of it. Your second volume is nearly
out and you have large orders for that. If you
sign this bond, these orders will be counter
manded and You will lose a large amount of
money. He replied, " Gentlemen. know it,
but it is right, aud III do it." He did do it,
and am informed that he lost a seat in the
United States Senate, and over thirty thou
sand dollars.
To my mind this does not look Ike imper-
tinant interference"
