Mr.. Greeley's Family.

While the spirit manifested to provide q
handsome maintenance for the Misses Gree.
ley is most creditable to all concerned, it is
but fair to say that these young ladies were
not left by their father in the needy condi-
ton represented by some Of Mr.. Greeley's
friends We are assured that some $780,
600 is the value of the property thus left
to the two young ladies', and though all Of
it may not be at once available the value
of the property left is not less in amount
than the sum stated.
Since writing the above, the following
statement confirms this fact. After thank
ing, both for itselan the Misses Greeley,
the liberal editor Of the Herald for his
proflered subscription of 1000 to start a
subscription of 100000, tho Tribune
says;
" 1t will be work of time to determine
the condition of Mr., Greeey's estate but,
however it may have been impaired by a
liberality perhaps too great, by loan Of
bis own credit to those who proved unwor-
thy Of it, or by an oyerweening confidence
in mems promises, there is it is probable,
enough remaining to quiet all these gene
rous apprehensions Of the community. And
even if the provision were less, we must be
allowed to say that the Misses Greeley are
in the hands Of immediate friends who will
care for them tn assiduous fidelity and
unremitting tenderness, al who will recog-
nize and repay the debt of grateful honor
due to their father-a debt which it is
strongly felt can never be adequately dis
charged. A sympathzing public may con-
fde in our assurance that the young ladies
are now the wards of those who will be
glad as well as able to care for their every
want and comfort, aud to see to it that the
death Of their father shall make no change
in their methods Of life and their resources.
1--WE announce the determination Of these
ladies at their own urgent request. While
they are anxious not to be regarded as
wanting in a grateful sense of the great
kindness which prompted the subscription,
they must be allowed to take the kindly
will for the kindly deed. With thousand
heartfelt thanks, the proifered bounty is
declined"

SINCLAIR ToUsEY THANKS THE PRESIDENT
ron HoNoRiNG Mr.. GREELEY.
To HE President of The United Siafos

To the President If the United States.
SIN: | trust that shall not be charged
with presumption in addressing you on the
subject of this letter. | want to thank
you, not for any favor bestowed on my
friends, or shown to me. Thanks for such
things are common as the benefits they con-
fer. desire to thank you for something
greater and better than these; for some
thing much beyond the ordinary practice
Of high social life. desire to thank you
for the respect shown by you to Mr.. Gree
ley on bis dcath.bed, and for the great re-
spect you paid his character and memory
by your attendance upon his funeral 1t
was great compliment for the head Of q
great nation to decline attendance on an
official lcstivity while private citizen was
dying, citizen who had no claims on the
sympathy Of the official, either Of blood or
close friendship. 1t was a much greater
compliment when that Executive laid aside
the pressing duties of his great office, and
making night journey Of hundreds Of
miles, at an Indictment season, took the
place Of private person, among the thou.
sands gathered together to pay the last trib.
ute Of respect that the living can pay to
the dead.
For your remembrance Of Mr.. Greeley
dying for your attendance at his funeral;
for the fearful attention you paid the sad
ceremonies Of that occasion, Mr.. President
thank you with all earnestness. am
very sure that in doing so but echo the
sentiments of hundreds Of thousands Of your
| fellow citizens, whose views Of public az.
fairs led them and myself to support, il
the late canvass, the man to whom you
have shown such high respect. by these
acts you have removed prejudices changed
opponents into friends, and shown tn,
world that great official life need not dcadct
the better instincts Of our common humane
ty. by these acts you have taught tn,
nations that Americans never forget wha
is due to the character Of their great cit
liens, and that the passions Of an exciting
= political contest never destroy the respect
that American partisan opponents have foi
the good lives Of good men.
| thank you, Mr.. President, and pray
that q long and happy life may await you
And when it shall please the Great Rule
to send the angel Of death to call you hence
may your passage to the tomb be mad,
smooth by the affections Of kind friends
and the grave close over you with th
heartfelt prayers Of your oountrymen 70
your eternal rest
Very respectfully your friend

The American Conflict written by
Horace Greeley, was published in this city
by o. d. Case * Co., who were compelled,
after the first volume was in type, to Keep

sale, excepting perhaps Mrs. Stoves ia.

dred and fifty thousand copies Of the FIRST
volume were disposed Of, aud the sale was
still going on successfully when the Sec
ond volume appeared. The publishers were
justified in supposing that the second would
have as extensive a sale as the FIRST volume,
as every one who had purchased the book
for its historical value would surely get the
complete thing. When the sale Of the sec.
ond volume had reached some 10000
or 10000 copies, and lightning presses
were rushing it of by hundreds every
day to meet the urgent call Of agents 10

Of JEFF Davis, and from that time the sale
virtually ceased. That stroke Of his pen
