WASHINGTON, May 5
General Carl SchGrz came in thi~
morning from his late battle field in NJ
pleasant mcod. He does net boast Of
his victories and is evidently not pleased
with Gratz Brown at Vice President
There is GOODNESS between the two
What gals Schurz most is the iuelor
ious defeat of the Revenue Reformers
A very decided bolt from Greeley and
Brown has been organized. You have
seen the proceeding Of the Ohio DELEGATES
headed by Hoadley and sympathized IL
by Stanley Mattews. The Virgins
members also reject it, though it is nov
claimed that Governor Walker and the
h~-~"-u"tiuAain in that state will accept it.
MIR. Sumner is quoted as rofuring to en-
dorse the ticket, and will wait until after
the Philadelphia Convention Justice
David Davis is ineffably disguised, and
refuses to listen to the siren songs of a
nomination 10y Democrats for President.
He thinks one defeat enough at time,
and so retires under his ermine sadly out
of temper. Mr.. Trumbull feels his over
throw like blow, because it must wreck
his aspirations in Illinois for reelection
in the United States Senate. You will
find that many of the delegats from Penn
sylvania will refuse to take Greeley and
Brown. is Of course for the
ticket, but not much, yet he feels rsjoic-
ed that he helped to demolish the free
traders. New England made very little
impression at Cincinnati, but Illinois.
Ohio and New York were very strong.
A number of Mr. L;ncoln's old friends
were on the ground, such as Ward H.
Lamon, Leonard Sweet, John Went
worth, Horace White electionieering for
Davis, and they are much cast down.
There was a bold set for Curtin for
President but it failed 1t is now be.
lieved that it was started without Cur
tins authority. 1t is asserted by some
Of Greeley best friends that he will new
Democrats put up their men. Opinions
are divided as to the course of the Dem
ocrats, Fernando Wood, Randall, Thur
man, Voorhees,, even Hendricks are quot
ed for Greeley and so also are Washing
ton Mclean and Geo. II. Pendleton of
Ohio, But, on the other hand, there is
a large party in favor Of making a
straight-out Democratic ticket. They
think the break in the Republican ranks
in incurable, and that they can elect any
body. The shrewd fellows, however, say
that Grant can never be defeated by
Democrat that it must be a Republi-
can, and to this end are moving heaven
and earth to effects junction. They say
that if Greeley withdraw nothing can
give the Democrats hope of success
but with him, backed by the dissatisfied
Republicans and the whole Democracy,
success is sure. Now comes in the grave
question VIII the Democrats 90 for the
Philosopher now that free trade has
been so shockingly weakened? Had they
not better hust Grant? Greeley, they
allege is very crochety and queer, very
self.willed and prejudiced, and who
knows but he may prove Tartar worse
than John Tyler to the Wings or An
drew johnson to the Republicans Why
not, then make full Democratic ticket,
and fall with it?
