GOOD ORDER.
The course of the procession was marked
not only by fire, but by loud cheers and
huzzas, yet no malicious disorder charac-
terized it so far as we have been able to
learn. One colored man Is said to have
fired off a pistol from the line, in the height
Of his enthusiasm, but the pistol probably
contained no damaging missile; at all events
no damage was done. The offender was
promptly taken from the line under arrest.
The programme previously published was
faithfully carried out, and when the process
sion again reached the park, brief speeches
were made by several gentlemen, after
which the crowd quietly dispersed.

1t is unnecessary to rccapitulate in order
to give your readers RI idea of the crowd
and gayeties, at this the greatest of
American watering places.
The Court of impeachment drew large
numbers to-day because of the appear
ance of several notorious witnesses who
were to be examined, among whom were
Josie Mansfield and her cousin, Mrs.
Williams. Miss Mansfield was finely
dressed, is somewhat attractive in APP
pearance, and as she advanced to take
the oath, created a decided sensation.
She was apparently at ease on the wit
ness,stand The object of introducing
her testimony seemed to be to prove the
intimacy between James Fisk, Jr., and
Judge Barnard. William N, Tweed was
another witness examined.
The State Temperance Convention
was. largely attended. Addresses were
made by Rev. Dr. Ford, of Chicago,
who spoke for Illinois. H. S. McCol-
lum made a speech, explaining the diff
ference between the Ohio and Illinois
laws.
Rev. S. w. Clemons, of Bennington,
gave report of the condition of the
temperance cause in Vermont. He said
that the prohibitory law was failure in
the State because there was not sufficient
strong moral sentiment to enforce it.
He urged the cultivation of a stronger
temperance sentiment, especially among
the young Without moral sentiment to

Greeley Men.

1t seems to us that this habit our Lib
eral friends have of publicly claiming
every public man, who is not all the time
talking politics, as a Greeley man, is
about played out. They appoint their
State, county and other committees
recklcssly without inquiry as to their
present standing, and sometimes, even,
without regard to their antecedents. 1t
may make them feel good for a little
while to seem to be in good company.
1t may annoy, and probably does,
for time, a respectable and prominent
political opponent. Itdoes temporarily,
place him in an unpleasant position, and
cause him to appear as rrcreant and
traitor to the principles advocated for
years. and to the success Of which his
services and efforts still will be devoted.
Some of these gentlemen, disliking
notoriety, rest quietly under the odium,
understanding that their neighbOrs,
friends and acquaintanccs know and ap-
prcciate the slandcr at its worth. They
feel, and perhaps justly, that each man
will form his own opinions Tor himself,
and that their views can have no possible
effect upon those of Others. They for
get that it IS true, and we regret that II
IS true, that there are large class o1
our fellow citizens who take their
opinions, so to speak, secondhand.
They are largely influenced by the opin-
ions Of their uoighbors, their friends,
their public men, to whom they have
been accustomed to look for peculiar
wisdom and understanding, forgetting
that they, too. have the same means and
opportunity Of forming correct judy
monts and opinions on current affairs.
This, then, is the object Of the Liberals
in their wholesale claims. They know
when they make the claim, at least they
ought to know, that there Is no t"und@-
ton in fact for it. lhey Also prooaoly'
understand that a story once started,
even if false IS almost as good as the
truth-a correction rarely "Vef'ahSn& IT,

some Vacant Chair.-

There is a vacant place ON the Liberal
Republican County Committee for
Windsor County. Charles A. Wilson,
Esq, of the firm of Deane & Wilson,
attorneys, at Cayendish, last week re-
ceiyed a very courteous notice from
county head quarters at Springfield, that
the State committee whose head
quarters seem to be at the Central House
in Rutland, had among other judicious
appointments made him one of the
Windsor county committee. This was
a good selection, as Mr. Wilson is a ris-
ing young lawyer Of good principles and
practice. Hence, as might be expected
he declined the appointment, assigning
as a reason that though he had great re-
spect for Mr.. Greeley for the good he
has heretofore done, and, though Gen.
Grant was not his first choice, yet in the
present political state of the country he
felt it his duty to vote for the Republi-
can nominee-Grant and Wilson, We
have no doubt but very many just such
Greeleymen, as Mr. C. 4. Wilson, exist all
over the cOuntry-and while they speak
well of Greeleys good qualities, and pass
over in sorrOwing silence his weak points
of Characterization they go to the polls

ley is too much Br0Un to suit this lati-
tude. We have had one just such Vjeo-

FIRE IN SHEFFIELD.-The was an
accidental fire in Sheffield, Monday,
July IS, caused by defective chimney,
in which the house, shed and barn of
EImore Bartlett were consumed, to-
gether with most of their contents. A
very little clothing, a few chairs and a
few dishes were saved. 1t was just
after dinner; Mrs Bartlett had been
washing, and had a rousing chip fire,
and while waiting for some water to
heat, went into the field to help her
husband spread out some hay. In fif-
teen minutes the flames were coming
through the roof. Everything was so
dry and burned so rapidly thai it was
impossible 10 save but little.

Greeley Accepts Again.

Greeley keeps on accepting the NOM
inatiOn for President with extraordinary
willingness. But if he contributes no
more points than he has recently to that
side of the canvass, he will be less eff
fective by his loquacity than Grant by
his reticenCe. One point in his latest
letter seems to be particularly weak.
I! jt makes it a great grievance that the
rebels in North Carolina were not per
nitted to send the rebel General and eX-
Congressman Vance to the U. S. Sen
ate Greeley likes that kind very much.
1t lacerates his white liver that New
England votes elected the eX-rebel and
kept him out of the Senate. 1t was a
dreadful act, wasn't it? New England
votes and the men who cast them have
done some other acts that seem to rebels
and their friends outrageous. They rat
flied several constitutional amendments,
against which Vance and all that crew
protested. 1t was New England soldiers,
too. who are now casting these votes,
that swiftly rallied to defend Washing
ton from Vance and his rebel cOmpan-
ions and COnspiratOrS when they were
seeking to gain possession of it, and
when Horace Greeley was saying. in
CONSERVATION, let them take it and de
part in peace. New England hands
helped to carve the way through the
confederacy, while Greeley was trying
to persuade Lincoln to buy out for
$400, 900, 900. 1t was New England
hearts that were barred to Shot and shell,
to sword and bayonet, to guard the
Union and all it represented in human
rights and the highest interest Of human
ity. 1t was New England blood that
ctmentcd the corner stone Of tn" new
Union in which equal rights for all loyal
men are the fundamental principle
Who have a better right TO say that the
rebel ingrates shall not sit in the nation
al legislature than the men Of New Eng
land
This aIlusion of MI Greeley stamps
him as a mean and malcyolcnt dcma-
g0gur. 1t is BuncOmbe Of the wretch
cdrst kind for the North Carolina can
vi>s. 1t is the dOughfacc spirit which
used to be common when the Nanccs
and the ToOmbses cracked their planta-

DEATH OF PRESIDENT JUAREz,-The
death of President Juarez is reported
from Mexico and in a form that gives
the news some authority. 1t is not i'm
probable. He was about 70 years OF
are and a native Indian After an edu-
cation in the law, he entered politics as
a liberal, and in 1853 attained the presi-
dency Of the republic. One of the
planks on which he stood, was the secuv
larization Of the church property, and
this gained the hearty hatred of the
church party, which finally rallied under
Miramon, and drove .Juarez into Vera
Cruz. The two presidents for time
ruled a divided country, MiramOn Sc
curing the recognition Of Europe, and
Juarez of the United States. The latter
at length defeated Miramon, secured a
regular election in 1851, and in a violent
manner carried some reforms. His sus-
pension of national solvency for two
years brought on his country the wrath
OF France, which made it a pretense for
setting up an empire in Mexico 1t is
not necessary to recapitulate the sad
history of MaXimilian. His execution
five years ago, by the orders of Juarez
will ever remain a stain on the character
Of the latter But the sanguine nature
Of his revenge was after the manner of
the hot-headed nations,-as they do in
Spain, and as Thiers is now doing in
France. Since then, the administration
~ JUraez has been comparatively tran
gull and prosperous. He was strong
minded man,-One who deplored the
miseries of his country and WAS not al
together ignorant of the true means Of
reform and regeneration. His temporary
successor, Lerdo, is the head of the op-
position faction. Let us hope that the
death of Juarez and the accession of his
old rival will pave the way to more
perfect harmony in the internal affairs
of Mexico.
