party, also ran ahead Of the rest Of the ticket,
but not so largely. 1t should be borne in
mind that this was after-and not long after
he had alienated many old.supporters by bail
ing Jefferson Davis.I
In 1870, Mr.. Greeley was once more can
didate for Congress-this time, in the Vth
(west side) District, then and still represented
by Samuel 8. Cox. Mr.. G. was at that time
so sick as to be unable even to visit the dis
trict, where no one even suspected that he
sought the nomination. But the Republican
party in the district was distracted by Bit
ter feud, and had to go out Of their own
ranks to find a candidate on whom their votes
could be united. They accordingly pitched
upon him; and he-hoping to aid Mr.. Wood
ford-consented. Thereupon, the Free-Traders,
headed by William C.. Bryant, issued formi-
daily signed circular, urging the voters to
defeat him. The Republican vote of the dis
trict was as follows:
Governor. ..... Woodford ............ 1908
Congress. Greeley ........".... S,203
These are all the returns that tend to elu-
cidate the subject, and in each case Mr..
Greeley is found ahead of his ticket We sub
nit the figures without comment on their les
SOD, or reply to recent perversions OF the re-
cord

MR.. GREELEY,S STRENGTH.

Has or has not Mr.. Greeley popular strength
as q candidate We admit the right to press
the question, and commend the Democrats for
their sagacity in taking time just now to give
IL thoughtful consideration. But let them do
it honestly. if they hope to attain wise con-
illusions; and let them dismiss from their con-
fidence the one or two false guides that, with
scattered returns of votes unfairly selected,
are seeking, for partisan purpose already
avowed, to mislead and deceive. Recent per-
formances of this sort call for no other answer
than the record-as follows:
i. Mr.. Greeley was first candidate for Con-
gress, from the With (up-town) District, at the
election of 1s4s, when Gen. Taylor was elected
President. The delegates to the Wing Con-
gress Convention were chosen to nominate
James Brooks, and did nominate him, with
the Hon. James Monroe to fill the seat in the
existing (XXXth) Congress. The total vote Of
the district was as follows:
President Zachary Taylor. 10,066
Copcress. -. -. James Brooks. 200
Do rdcancy -. Horace Greeley. .......9,9 1899
Mr. Greeley was again candidate for
Congress in 1s66-this time, from the IVth
(down-town) District, where no Republican
could fail of defeat by at least 10000 majority.
But Gov. Fenton was candidate for re-
election, with Andrew Johnson as President
and the Weed-Seward interest conspiring to
defeat him, and it was supposed that Mr.
Greeley's running for Congress might call out
n few more voters-so he was nominated. Gov.
Fenton was reelected by an increased ma
iority in the State, but the vote in this dis
trict stood:
GOrenor. FentoD..............3,433
Condress. ............G Greeley. ............3.743
Mr.. Greeley was next a candidate in 1867 for
a delegate to the Constitutional Convention,
when sixteen delegates of each party were
chosen on general ticket. He was, of course,
elected, but we have not the vote at hand.
In 1869, q Republican State ticket was duly
nominated at Syracuse, but in few days
three of the candidates declined. The State
Committee met in this City, while Mr. Greeley
was absent at the West, and filled up the
ticket as was thought best-putting Mr.
Greeley on it for Controller He was not
permitted to decline, though there was no
hope of his election, and he could not well
have served, if chosen. The whole ticket was
defeated. Its vote was as follows
Secretary ........ Gen. Franz Sigel. 49,. 3l0.733
Controller. ...... Horace Greeley .. 3O7 .66s

SHALL a PRESIDENT BE ELECTED UN
DER MARTIAL LAWf

If a deed of unmistakable iniQuity is to be
attained by a subterfuge, commend us to Gen.
Butler. His plan for smuggling the Ku-Klux
law into an extension is worthy of its author.
Consider the case.
There is no excuse now for violent Ku-Klux
legislation. Whatever the original need for it
may have been, it has wholly passed away.
For months there has been scarcely Il sign of
Ku-Klux disorders Negroes and whites have
learned to occupy in peace the land in which
Providence has placed them together; and
they are even preparing to meet in har-
monious political action on the common plat
form of the Cincinnati Convention. The
present law was only passed, after earnest
and conscientious opposition, on the distinct
agreement that it should not extend over the
next Presidential election, and on the adop-
ton, as was supposed, of limitation that
made this amply secure-the provision that it
should expire at the close of the present
session of Congress. On the stump it
was defended against the fierce at
tacks to which it was subjected
by the equally conspicuous assurance
that by no possibility could it be made TO
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1872-05-16

affect Presidential contest. After ali
these pledges and this self-imi6ng clause, 1t
was only accepted by the American people
with the greatest reluctance and because OF a
belief in its instant necessity for the present
protection of helpless race, exposed 70 mid-
night scourgings and assassination.
Gen. Butler now proposes that Congress
shall not adjourn its present session, but
merely take a recess till after the election,
that the limitation may be eyaded, and the
Ku-Klux law kept in force We do not
believe the dodge will win. A great nation
cannot be trcked out of its purpose like
Ward caucus and we warn gentlemen who
contemplate the attempt that it may prove
very serious piece of business All men 90
know that there is no excuse for the extension
of this law. It's propriety was earnestly disputed
by many of our best people at the outset, and 1t
was only carried over their heads by the
sense of its necessity. There is no such sense
now. There arc no disorders to call for it,
There is returning spirit of peace and good
order, which it, more than all else
combined, can destroy. 1t is most
alarming and dangerous power to COM
nit to President like Gen. Grant,
when his own interests are at stake.
Because it is needless, because it is baneful
to the region it processes to protect, because
it is dangerous to the Country at large, not
less than because it was originally grave
stretch of power which only the most pressing
exigency could warrant, we protest against the
trick for its renewal. Let the South as well
as the North have Peace.

EIGHT YEARS FOR ONE-FOUR FOR THE
REST,


Here is com fort for the office-holders; and
much we wish il may serve to stimulate the
feryor of their two per cent. payments for the
expenses of the Grant campaign. We quote
from that truly loyal anti-Greeley organ, The
Ne.r- York Erening Post:
"In conversation with Republican Congressman from
Ohio day ago. President Grant said that In case
OF his reelection he intended to make general change
OF oice-holders throughout the country Asarue, he
ssid he did not believe tbatiany person who held office
during one administration should be retained during the
succeeding one, but that ii simple justice to keep all
faithful officers until they had served four years"
The dsloyal may puzzle over the difference
between the fish of the oflce-holders and the
flesh of the head office holder; but no well
regulated mind will for one moment inquire
why the rule which applies to Gen. Grants
appointees should not apply also to Gen.
Grant. That was settled by the time contract,
whereof Col. Forney was at once negotiator
and historian. The General, according to Col.
Forney. only took the Presidency on the dis
tinct promise that he should have it for eight
years.

In the scramble attending the last days of

this City was left with certain provisions
utterly inconsistent with the Palmer Charter,
as well as with existing laws. The Charter

full whether either will receive his signature.

BOTH SIDES OF A CASE ARGUED
BY T0OMBS.

Toombs, of Georgia, is one of the
most gifted of all the erratic geniuses
that America has yet produced. Like
Tom Marshall and VIM. Haskell, he
is a natural born orator. Mr.. Clay
heard him make one of his first politi-
cal speeches at a mass meeting IN
Georgia, IN 1910, and predicted for
him then a brilliant future. 1t is re-
lated of Toombs that on one occasion,
in the trial of very important case
before Georgia Jury, he, by some
strange absence of mind, got up and
made a powerful speech against his
client, who was the plaintiff in the
case. After he had spoken nearly an
hour, and was about to close, one of
his associate counsel whispered is his
ear that he had made mistake-that
he had spoken on the wrong side.
For moment only Toombs was per-
fectly dumbfounded, and recovering
Immediately, he turned to the Court
and jury and said: snow, may it
please the Court. and you gentleman
of the jury, 1 have, in my remarks
hitherto, attempted to give you all,
and the very best, too, that can be
said on that side of the case, and
though it may appear at first blush q
very strong case, yet l am conhdents
if you will give me your attention
little while longer Twill be able to
convince you that, after all, my client,
the plaintiff, is entitled to verdict at
your hands.' He then proceeded to
overturn every position previously
taken by him, exerting himself to the
utmost of his wonted ability to repair
his mistake, and wound up with an
appeal TO the Court and Jury so
thrilling that he carried them by
storm, and triumphantly gained the
case for his client.
