RUTLEDdE's POINT,

the grandest and most expansive view on the
domain, and named in memory of Bishop Rut-
ledge, of Florida, whose demise occurred in
1866. This view not only comprises command
of the valley seen from Green's View, but in
cludes several additional coves-all covering
an extent of thousands of acres. There is a
rock overhanging the Point, and from which is
presented spectacle that neither tongue nor
pen can describe. Surrounding spurs, with
their cragged cliffs covered with the moss of
ages, and from whose interstices the creeping
ivy and graceful fern project; the distant ex-
tended valley, all as seemingly quiet as at the
first dawn of creation the long belt of the
blue Cumberland, melting at the horizon into
the hue of heaven, and visibly girding three
fourths of the entire landscape before us-all

JEFFERSON CRY, September 4.

JEFFERSON CRY, September 4.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN, - After o
somewhat wcarisome ride OIL the cars
from Savannah to this place, l find
myself all o. X, this morning, and
able to pen you q few lines which may
interest the readers of the REPUBLI-
CAN. Jefferson City is somewhat
alive with the many strange faces
from different parts Of the State at
present, owing to the United States
Court being in session. Court opened
on Monday morning, Judge Treat
presiding in place of Judge Krekle,
who is absent in Germany. There is a
full docket, and court may last several
weeks. James Battsford is the Uni
ted States Attorney Of this court, o
young man of great promise and a
man full of energy, and he p%rosecutes
his cases with great success. lie is a
great man to hang Undetermined to
win his case. The Grand Jury has a
great deal of business before them,
and will probably be in session two
or three weeks. The Cole county
fair commenced hero yesterday, which
makes the business among the farmers
and stock men of this county some
what lively. l meet and converse
with men from all parts of the State,
and they almost universally agree
that Grant will carry the State of
Missouri this fall by a handsome ma
jority. Liberalism is fast playing out.
They say Greeley is played out, and
in many counties he will scarcely re-
ceive any votes. We are now look
ing every moment for news from the
State Convention, and knowing our
party will nominate D strong ticket,
we feel confident of a great success in
this State this fall. More anon.

erative body, and his selection was
the best that could possibly have peeh
made. ;.
r. w. yoerdie Of Kansas City, Is
the nominee for Secretary OF state.
He is too well Enown among the Ger
mans all over the State as the editor
of the Kansas City Post and lou
to need any extended accom- OF ms
services in the cause OF the Rcpubii-
can party.
The candidate for Auditor is Cap
tain Dan. O'Conor. o: st. Louis.
He was nominated without 'ballotitg
and by acclamation, and he und0ubt-
edly was the universal choice OF the
convention. Captain O'Connel is
well known in ST. Louis, and is a
representative Irishman. lie was
born in Ireland, and took q pronl-
nent part in the troubles of l84S: AT
the close he cmigrated to the United
States and settled in Philadelphia.
Coming to st. Louis, in 1861 he en-
tered the Union army as q private.
He rose quickly to the rank OF captain
and served with distinction through
out the Returning then to the
occupations of peace, he became one
of themost popular Irishmen or the
city and county, commanding every
where the esteem and respect OF his
fellow countrymen, and will make q

been a resident ofthe State for a great
many years, and has been Chief Clerk
several terIms-under Mr. Thompson
and others. His experience has made
him thoroughly familiar with the &C.
counts and affairs of the State, and
there is probably no man in the State
better qualified for the position, which
he will fill with ability and fidelity.
The Candidate for State Treasurer
is Col. Dan. Draper, who is well
known throughout the State. He Is
a representative of the northern por-
ton of the State. During the wa
he entered the army, and served un.
til its close, when he had been made

The selection of Hon. Chas. d. viii.

HORACE GREELEY AS AN
HONEST CANDIDATE.

Does Horace Greeley as an honest
candidate occupy a position that COM
mends itself In its fitness to the ap-
proval of honest men, and in itself
furnish q worthy precedent for the
future, and a guaranty of satisfacto-
ry and honest administration during
the next four years? lie is the can
didate of a party of which he is the
lifelong incorporating enemy; the
enemy of its principles and of its prac-
tice. Can q man honestly and WORTH
IL be that? We will let Horace Gree
ley answer. When Oakley Hall run
az the Democratic candidate for May.
or ofNew York, while protesting to
he opposed to Democratic principles,
Horace Greeley said: "To say it is per-
fectly proper for a party holding n
set of opinions, which have been SOL
EMMY and officially promulgated. to
sustain a man holding another set of
opinions which are 10 secret, APP
~proaches the SUI blimity Of pure and
undefled thimble-rig.' It will hardly
be agreed that q candidate for Presi-
dent who approaches the s%ublimity
of political thimble-rig" either. emo

self is any guaranty that as President
be would establish purity and reform
in administration. Unless the honest
judgment of the world is at fault
unless@it is wrong to have any politi-
cal convictions, unless renegadism is
a virtue, and political honesty a dast-
ardly trick, the candidacy of Horace
Greeley is the most conspicuous in
stance of political degradation known
so far to American politics.
In the second place. consider Horace
Greeley as President. YoH say, that
is impossible, for he wort be. But
that is the very point to he settled
Consider him elected. He takes the
oath of office. He swears that he
will faithfully execute the office of
President OF the United States."-
Well, the Constitution says: "The
President shall give to the Congress
information of the state Of the Union,
and recommend to their consideration
such measures as he shall judge nee
essary and expedicnt.' Mark; the
President shall do this, if he "faith-
fully execute the Office Of President"
Unless Greeley has been guilty Of
falsehood throughout his life he con-
sidors the "Protcetion Of American
Industry" one of the urgent necessary
and expedient measures that every
President should urge upon Congress.
And every President from Washing
