The Last SIantler Settled.

The Eren1ny Post having attempted to
give countenance to the Binghamton Repub
Hcdn's roorback aimed at Mr.. Greeley, at
length rather impatientiy urged that organ
to produce its proofs. elf you have such
a handful Of trumps, why not lead them z"
was its natural inquiry. We presume the
Republican has done its best i'll obedience
to the Posts reqllisiiion. What does the
Post think of the trumps?
The whole gist and force of the Republic
cans calumny was Il charge that 4 bargain
or compact. or some sort of arrangement, mad
been had between Horltio Seymour and
some one else whereby said Seymour was to
be made Secretary of State in case Horace
Greeley shall he chosen President. We have
awaited with some curiosity the develop
mentS on this point, being assured by Mr.
Greeley that no one ever suggested the name
of Ioratio Seymour to him rs Il candidate for
any Office OH earth, while he never wrote Il
line to Seymour, received one from him, or
had any sort of message from him respecting
any office on earth.
Where arc the "trumps' on this point
Couldn't the Republican induce, coax, hire.
or bully some nobody to say that he had
heard some one guess that Greeley and Sey-
mour had some sort of understanding OH thi.
point? Why is such charge left entirely
without pretcnce classification
For full year prior to the Cincinnati Con
vention, men Of divers politics had written
to Mr.. Greeley. suggesting that he should he
IL candidate for President. He wrote to nc
person whatever. except in reply to these
solicitations, anu never named himself whel

II. I,t,,y LIANT.
OF the answers lie gave to the letters adj
dressed to him on this subject part have

on his part, though all of them were private
| All know that the tenor OF Il part of then
was" Wait. It is not yet time to open TIN
next Presidential canvass; while to TIN
residue he said, II do not think the op

from him of different tenor from these, N
matter how confidential, Wc are authorized
by Mr.. Greeley 10 challenge their publicl
ton.
As to those recently pretending to give TIN
substance Of any letters written by him, w
are also authorized to pronounce their state
mcnts grossly untrue. He never desired an,
person on earth to ret up Il meeting i'll In
| behalf. He never invited any person 10 FiSi
| New York in order to confer with him Oh
the subject of the presidency. And he new"
invited any person to visit lloratio seymour
Or any one else, in order 10 win his favor q
secure his support for any office whatsoever
We repeat that. while quite number have

some of them have cvinccd Il disposition tt

has pursued the even tenor Of his Way, alIl

4 DESPERATE ENCOUNTER BETWEEN DEER
AND ALLlGAToEs-Two NOBLE HOUNDS GO
DowS IN THE BATTLE-Wc have just heard
of an incident That occurred in the campaign
of a party Of spnrtSmeu who were recently
out on hunt for deer They scared up three
deer in tho vicinity of one of the bayolis OF
the Ogeechce. and succeeded in killing two,
the third made for the bayou rs the only
means of escape He had gone in the water
but Il short distance before he was set upon
by two large aligators. The water WAS not
over three and half feet deep ut the place,
and the attack WAS in full view of the sports
men. The two hounds had followed the
deer. and were consequently drawn into the
combat. which, we are informed, was most
terrific and bloody.
The stag made Il gallant defence with his
antlcrs and torc-hoois, but the fight was I'M
equal, and the water was soon crimson with
the blood of the noble animal rs he SANK
down i'm his death tlroeS. The dogs battlet
bravely in the contest with the alligator, bull
they too had to yield to the terrific Onslaught hi
of their enemy.
The party tried to get in some shots on the
alligators, but they counted not, and aitel
finishing their bloody work the monsters
glided off. The affair was extremely OK

it would require more Splce and time tfal

INTERESTING EXPERIMENT The CillclGo,
Rock Island and Pacific Railroad Company
has made all experiment which by its Sue
cessful result seems to have solved the labor
question so far as that corporation is con-
cerned. Several months ago the superln-
tendent initiated the plan OF paying the enl-
ployes of the company by the hour. The
mechanics in the shops of the company were
all paid by this standard, while engineers and
other train men were paid according to the
number of miles they ran. The latter plan,
although obviously liable to produce inc
qualities OF compensation, IL said to have
worked satisfactorily. so that in busy seasons
the engineers made us muchas $50 a month.
In the shops the men were employed all
through the season, but worked reduced
number of hours, while in slack times they
were also employed fewer hours, instead OF
being discharged. At first some of tho work.
men objected, but Il trial Of the scheme Is
aid TO have convinced all of them OF It's fair
ness. 1t affords the corporation 4 perfect
protection against strikes, and removes all
causes of ill-feeIinS between the employers
and the employed. The success of the eX-
,,eriment renders it worthy of attention.
TO some extent the sane mode of payment
is practiced by the Reading Railroad COM
pany. The brakcsmen, and probably the en-
sineers and conductors, are paid by the num-
Der of trips made.

The founders of this church were hardy,

descendants have become the wcaltbicSt and
most influential men not only OF upper South
carolina. but OF many other States. This
centennial celebration brought together men
from AL sections Of the country. After the
>prakln" WAS over, and they had "madc an
end OF tta>iin=," they talked long together
about their ancestors, especially of those
buried in the sacred spot near by. One old
gentleman, on WHOSE head scrcnty-cight

was not all consumed in talk of the past,
however. The hundred years ago readily

people are almost Il unit for Greeley, and
look forward with high hopes to him rs their
Iibcrator. Poor down-trcddcn, carlct-bag-

rise TO almost Supcr!unan eNertionS to put

lost his life, took place here this morning just
before day. The store Of John III. Murphy,
on Massachusetts avenue ne:u Seventeenth

Murphy that they suspected that thieves
were in the vicinity. Penrose Payne, CO.
lorcd man, took II milsket and stationed him
self in the rear of the store, while Lloyd
Thomas, another colored man, also with Il
gun, took position ut IN upper window OF IN
adjoining house, without knowing the where
abouts OF Payne. In Il few minutes Payne
raised his head, and Mrs. Murphy said TO
Thomas, "Thcrc they are" Thomas shot
with too good aim, and Payne fell, with
Srycr. slu3s in his body, killed instantly.
Thomas Instantly gave himself up. but there
is no doubt that the shooting was entirely
accidental. Payne was native of Fredcricks-

TIE THOMPSON LETTER IN THE CoNFEnER AFR
ARCHIVES. -The letter of Jacob Thompson
to j. Z. Benjamin, Secretary of State of the
Southern Contederacy, found among the
Confederate archives which have recently
been sold to this Government, shows that
Thompson WAS the regularly authorized agent
of the Confedcncy both for the purpose of
procuring the burning of New York, Phila-
dclphia st. Louis, and Cincinnati, and Tor
organizing !; counter revolution at the North.
For these purposes Thompson and his a;so-
ciates-Clay, uolcombe, and Saunders-wcre
SUPPLIED with one million dollars in gold,
and i'm tllrtherance of their schemes they
were in communication with residents at the
North, and met some Of them personally ut
Niagara.
The St. Adams raid and the attempt to
free The Confederate prisoners at Johnson's
island were some of The results. Ii is said
this letter possesses the greatest public
interest of all tue documents which
have thus far been examined. 1t is very
long,,and details with ninutencss the pro-
ceedngs of Thompson and lis associates.
The papers are ali in the custody OF the
Treasury Department.
