At Memphis, Tennessee; 1atcly, a
singular detention tc railroad srains
was had. The obstruction Was caused
by vast numbers Of caterpillats lying
on the railway tracks, and in crushing
the insects the tracks became so slip
perry that the wheels of the cars re-
fnsed to perform their legitimate
functions. The. woods are literally
stripped clean of their foliage by the
pests, and the same condition is re-
ported of other localities.

The Southern Democrats can not
support Mr.. Greeley, says the Louis
Vile Ledger, because he Would remove
the United States troops FROM the
South, and then the white and cblored
people would renew their old time
fight. After delivering this opinion,
the Ledger then proceeds to urge the
election of straight-out Democrat,
because such President" it says,
would at once remove the federal
Soldiers from the South"

THE NO.M7NA 7TON OF HORACE
GREELEY, eHh JOURNALIST.

THE NO.M7NA 7YON OF HORA CE
GREELEY, eYIh JOURNALIST.
The first Consideration that comes
to us is the fact that Horace Greeley
enters into this canvass as a repre-
sentative Of journalism. Until with
in few years he has been to criti-
;al mind more of a politician than a
journalist but even III the harshest
phases of his partisanstip we have
never failed to see and recognize the
journalistic sense which made him a
generous opponent ard all indepen-
| dent ally. Those Of our calling who
! have been impatient because the
newspaper has not been more gen.
erously recognized in the persons Of
| the men who make and control it
will find cause for comfort in the &C
ton of the Cincinnati Convention
For more than Thirty years Horace
Greeley has edited the tnost dis
tinctively political and partisan jour
nal in the United States. MIR. Gratz
Brown, his colleague, had a career
as marked, if not as extensive, in the
press Of the West. We sec in this
a tendency OH the part Of the people
to regard the journalist as a master.
The profession which once was des-
pissed now wins respect from our
people, has open to it the highest
prizes Of citizenship. We see due
honor and propriety i'll this, but at
the same time we must dissuade al
journalists, from treading tho thorny
and perplezing path by which Hor-
ace Greeley has reached nomina-
ton for the Presidency. The time
will come, and we think swiftly, when
an editor will see no ambition high
er than the fulfillment of his duty as
a journalist. The class to which
Horace Greeley belongs, of which
he has been the most conspicuous
and illustrious representative, belong
to another generatioh-a past gen
GRAFTON, when newspapers We're sub
servient to politicians. In the ear
lier days gifted men found the press
the psth to Office and power. We
saw men like Leggatt, Niles, Prem
tice, Seaton, Weed, Raymond and
Greeley possessed with the Journal
istic instinct, and capable of useful
ness and distinction, who might have
been teachers and leaders in their
generation, regarding the press as a
means Of theiradvancement of states
men to whose fortunes they devoted
thelr lives. Horace Greeley has told
us many times of the affection and
zeal with which he followed Henry
Clay, and yet as {; citizen doing his
work in his best way for Ills fellow
men. Horace Greely's career far
surpasses the most attactive estimate
of Clay and his career. We see a
reaction against this in the sentiment
which has taken Greeley after a life
of service and made him a leader
Wee sec it even more truly in the
sentiment which animates modern
journalists that nothing is more at
tractive or useful to the editor than
his calling.-Heruld May 4.

MIR. Packard's Nico|son paving and
Penitentiary bills to pass as just
measures /? Must Casey and Her.
wig be punished for the Warehouse
scheme, and Lowell's Ship Island
outrage go unnoticed No /; this
sudden assumption Of Spartan and
self-sacrificing virtue on the part Of
General Grant is the 1limsiest of pre-
texts to hide an Interior design that
does not require the acumen of a
seventh son of a seventh son to pen
citrate.
During all the time that Mr.. Casey
has been sharing the Inequalities Of
the White House-waiting for the
report which the persistent attacks
Of the Northern press finally COM
PEELED the congressional committee
to submit in order to save their own
regulations, and which, it was well
known, must result in Casey's re-
moval-the chief conspirators in the
Republican party in Louisiana have
been trading with its bitterest foes
Mr.. P;ckard's daily associations give
every semblance of truth to his al
legged assertion that he controlled
this matter Of the investigation un-
til he was ready to trade off the
Office OF Collector of Customs for
Democratic influences, which; he
hoped and believed, would plnce
him at the head Of local politics in
Louisiana. But whatever old and
respectable citizen Or " fiery young
Democrat maJ receive through the
medium of his plottings, the act will
accomplish nothing advantageous to
either him Or his principal. Packard,
as an influence in State politics, has
ceased to exist-a fact which Gen1.
Grant may not be able to realize,
but which he could not change if he
would.
We repeat that in making an
eleventh hour sacrifice of Casey.
President Grant has done nothing to
harmohize the Republican party. In
appointing his successor he gives
prorIiise Of making legion Ct enc
mics, and but few, if any, whom he
can rely upon as friends. The skies
are frightening.

~Tho' Congressional Committee

litical affairs 1T New Orleans last
january have just handed their prin-
ted report to the President, and he
had an opportunity, for the FIRST time

A LAND LED no SLAUGHTER.
President Grant, in sacrificing his

does what Josh Billings might call a
powerfully weak thing: The pretext
that knowledge of Casey's oftenses
reached him but on Saturday last,
and that he acted promptly upon re.
ceipt thereof, is too weak to deceive
any one. THO months ago, printed
slips of the testimony proving that
the Collectors official safe was the
depository of legislative Bribery
and corruption fund, were laid be.
fore Grant and the members of his
Cabinet-in fact every material point
against him in the testimony taken
by the congressional committee was
brought to their knowledge, and yet
the President failed to act. And
what is there against Casey, proven
Or charged, that does not hold good
against his co-conspirators, who are
retained in office +? Is the leyee shed

AMERICAN MINING ENGINEERS.

The gentlemen OF the American Institute OF Min
ing Engineers, who now holding sessions in this
city, paid visit to the Stevens Institute of Tech
nology, in Hoboken, yesterday. Among those pres
ent were Ex-Governor Ward, of New Jersey; Peter
Cooper, Professors Draper and Tilman, Generals
Gilmore and Barnard, r. A. Raymond Rev. S. B.
Dodd and many other men Of note The physical
laboratory was first entered where the college pro-
fessors exhibited new and improved apparatus for
demonstrating the laws which undcrlie the mo-
lecular reverberati0ns OF bodies, as manifested in
light, heat and electricity. An induction coll, up
wards OF one hundred miles long, gave spark Of
twenty one inches, and sent one through q block
OF glass two and half inches thick. Many
beauti ful acoustic instruments were displayed
The workshop, with its complicate machinery; the
che mica laboratory, the immense electric battery,
the reservoirs OF oxygen and hydrogen, apparatus
for eectroyss OF water and chOr0-hydric acid, and
arrangements by which compressed air, gases,
CUM and electricity can be turned on, were atten-
lively surveyed by the visitors The numerous de-
vices for teaching mechanics, hydrostatics and
pneumatics were thoroughly explained in succession
by members OF the faculty. The optical and drawing
de- partments were specially interesting. In the
spacious lecture room experiments with poarzed
light ocularly exhibiting the distribution of
strain In bodies under pressure were made and
projected on a screen with admirable eGtct.
The gentlemen then passed through the photo
graphic and mineral departments to the hall
wherein stands the largest electro-magnet that
has ever been constructed. In the space herein
allotted 1t is impossible to do justice to the exhb
tion which reflects the highest credit on Professor
Morton, President Of the Stevens Institute, and
the other professors, The assembage were then
invited to lunch at the house Of Mrs. Il. A. Stevens
at Castle Point, where the laws governing the
palatable combination OF solids and liquids were
put into practical operation The gentlemen SUBJ
sequcntly perambulated the gardens surrounding
