they will vote against him if he is renomi-
mated, number hundreds of thousands, and
they are found In every state of the union.
By their bold, practical course, the liberal
republicans OF Missouri have proved them
selves worthy to take the lead IN etfecting a
national organization of these reform repub-
hcans. To accomplish this most desirable
object, a convention is called at Cincinnati
on the the first Monday of May.
The Cincinnati convention will be by far
the most important political sssemblage OF

The Springfield correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune says, sit has been de-
cided to drop Senate bill No. 303, for the
collection of revenue in cities, and sale Of
land for delinquent, taxes; and introduce
and pass an entirely new one. la conside-
ration of the recent decision of the Su-
prene Court, there will be no difficulty in
getting it through the Senate at once, and
not much in putsing it through the House.
The old bill was bad enough as introduced,
and when the amendments sent down from
Chicago were stuck on to it, ii became
much worse. The bill now preparing in
the Auditors Office is an attempt to meet
the difficulty, without RAINING counter to
the provisions of city charters, by which
Collectors 60 OUT of Office, and receive, or
turn oyer, their books at different times.
They vary SO that, probably, no specific
date will be mentioned, but Collectors be
required TO turn over their books when

DEAR SIR-0n Saturday last, at a meeting
of the Liberal Republicans of Ascension, held
in the town of Donaldsonvsllc, over which
Won presided, which meeting had for its OBJ
,ject the election of delegates to convention
of said party, to be held in New Orleans on
the first Monday of August next, was hon
ored and highly flattered at my nanlc being
called as Que of the viee-presidents,
But as had previously accepted and APP
proved, as a Democrat, of the Democratic
and Reform McEnery ticket. published by
the presidents of the executive committees
of said parties, i thought it was my duty to
decline the honor, stating at the time, how
ever, that was and always had been in fa-
vor of cooperating with all the elements OPP
posed to Grant and the Custom House party
in this State, represented to-day by the KEEL
logg ticket; and, moreover, that I was in
hope, and strongly expected, that fusion
would take place between the Liberal Re
pablican Convention to be held on the ,5th3 of
next month, in New Orleans; aud the Derao-
cratic and Reform executive committees,
which would bring all the elements opposed
to Grant together, and assure our success
beyond doubt. FL 49, @ is
Such were my views on, cooperation and
fusion when the Democratic and Reform
Conventions met in New Orleans, on the 3rd
and 4th of june last, and then and there so
expressed myself, freely and openly, to SOW
eral of my friends, such as Hon. Reeves, of
Tensas, King and Lee, of New Orleans, and
others. +i!tf,s5 I-sfslsf3a.ff - itfFs. ..i.s
After mature reflection, / now regret hav-
ing declined to join with yourself and the
meeting over which you presided in the no
Bile and patriotic move which had brought
you together, for, after all, what can we do
better than follow in the footsteps Of the ma
tional Democracy of the country, in accept
ing the course they have thought proper, in
their wisdom, to adopt at their late Conven-
ton held in the city of Baltimore
therefore wish and desire YOU and my
fiiends to consider me as one of yours as
Ole who approves of your move and deliber-
atoms of Saturday last; as one who is now
reilly and willing TO stand by you, side by
side shoulder to shoulder, in ftising with the
Libeal Republican party, as web as with
all oher elements opposed to the present
corrupt national and State administrations,
satisfied and convinced, as am, that such is
the only course left to US to save our dear

Summer until he had declared him
self in favor ofthe election of Greeley

Weekly knew the respect and esteem
in which Mr. Sumner is held by a
large majority of the people of this
country would. tend TO bring odium
upon any who shouH endeavor to
ridieule him, and wouH weaken the
cause in the interest of which such
attempt was made. Thu Messrs Har-
per seem to have forgotten this since

SUMNER DECLARES FOR GREELEY


Hon. Charles Sumner, that most
distinguished, talented and incorrupt-
ible of American statesmen, has writ
ten a letter in answer to an appeal
addressed to him by II number of the.
leading colored men of Washington
city, asking him to define his views in
regard to the. political situation and
the duty of the colored people in the
coming Presidential contest. Sum-.
ner declares his determination to sup
port Greeley and Brown, because their
election will guarantee q reform of
the many abuses in the administration
of the government that have been in
augurated and encouraged by Grant
and his subordinates. He says that
there are two Republicans in the field
for he will not admit that because
Democrats are supporting Greeley
he must have turned Democrat and
as choice between them, he unhesi-
tatingly announces his preference for
Greeley. This action of their great
champion and benefactor viii be the
cause of a stampede from Grant to
Greeley among the more intelligent
classes of the colored people all over
the country. The striking contrast
which Mr.. Sumner draws between
the two candidates as regards their
past attitude towards the lately en-
franchised portion of the people must
create great diversion of feeling in
favor of Greeley among that class,
while the comparison OF them in a
point of view appertaining to their
personal characters and fitness for the
Presidency is forcible enough to con-
vince honest and sensible men of all
classes that Grant should be defeated
and Horace Greeley elected.
So much Importance and weight is
attached to this declaration by the
eminent Massachusetts Senator of the
position he will take in the present
campaign, that it is regarded in polit-
ical circles as rendering the defeat of
Grant a foregone conclusion.

Hon. John A. Cheevers, District At
torney of the Fourth Judicial District,
has in his possession letter from Mr..
Geo. Z. Bovee, of st. james, written
in the latter part of June, in wlich
Mr.. Gheevers is urged to atten0
projected Fourth of July celebration
in st. James and deliver an oratiol.
The writer assures Mr.. Cheeyers i
will improve his chances for obtaining
the nomination for District Judge, a
contingency which Bovee announced
as g sure to take place.r The confid-
ing Cheever's complied with the re-
quest of his "friend," attended the
celebration, and electrified the deni-
Gems of ST. james with an eloquent
peroration, replete with glowing rhap-
sodies and tributes to the prowess of
the American eagle; yet when the
District Nominating Convention came
off, Bovee basely sold his vote and in
fuence to an opposing candidate, and
Cheevers failed to get the nomination
for District Judge. A piece of pre-
cious treaehery, indeed, for a man
who claims TO be peculiarly upright
and pure in all his dealings.
