VIII Horace Greeley Accept n Nom
ination from the Demo-
cratic Parfyf

Horace Greeley, in October last, wrote to
one of the most rabid Democrats in Missouri
his views as to the Presidency. This man,
editor of the Missouri Caucasian, by name
DOMAIN, saw fit to publish the letter, which
We reproduce:
From tho Lexington mo Caucasian
NEW YORK, Oct. Is, 1871.
z. DOMAIN, Esq, Lexington. No:
My DEAR SIR l have yours of the lith
instant. l have no doubt that the policy you
suggest is that which your party ought to
adopt. They should have taken up Salmon
p. Chase in 1868. Then, as the result OF
that contest, the return of genuine peace and
thrift would have been promoted. That
policy gave you mere last year in Missouri
than could have been achieved by a party
triumph You only err as to the proper cam
didate. / am not the man you need. Your
party is mostly free trade, and l am fero-
cious protectionist. / have no doubt that
l might be nominated and elected by your
help, but it would place us all in a false po-
sition. If L, who am adversely interested,
can see this, am sure your good sense will
on reflection realize it, You must take some
man like Gratz Brown, or Trumbull, or Gen.
Cox, late Secretary of the Interior, and thus
help to pacify and rcunite our country anew.
Yours, HORACE GREELEY.
1t will be seen by the above letter that
Mr.. Greeley thought and wrote that he was
not the man needed by the Democratic party.
The Democratic party no doubt held the
same view, and all the honest Democrats to-
day hold the same view. Now, in view of
Mr.. Greeley's own knowledge that he is not
the man needed by the Democracy, but that
men like Gratz Brown, or Trumbull, &C.,
are the proper men for Presidential candi-
dates of the Democratic party, will he (Mr.
Greeley accept nomination at the hands
of the Democratic party?

A Normal school for the District
Speech of MIR. Lie Barnes.

The House of Delegates passed on Monday
evening last the bill introduced by Mr. lie
Barnes, of the Tenth District, providing for
the establishment of Normal School in the
District of Columbia The broad and gener-
Gus provisions of the bill commend it to our
unqualified approval. The school proposed
to be established will meet II long existing
want in this District, and will go far towards
properly settling the "school question" for
the future. Its Importance, we think, can
hardly be Overrated.
Early in the session Of the Legislature Mr..
LIE Barnes offered a resolution, which was
adopted, instructng the Committee on Public
Schools to inquire into the expectancy of es-
tablishing a High and Normal School, and
authorizing them to report by bill or otherwise,
and he subsequently introduced joint reso-
luton providing for such school without dis
tinction of color. The committee reported
white school bill, which Mr.. lie Barnes called
up and moved his joint resolution rs a sub
stitute. Mr.. Piper supported the amendment
in an excellent speech, as did also Mr.. Wall
and Mr.. Boswell. Mr.. Choate sustained the
report of the committee.
In advocating his amendment, Mr.. lie
Barnes said:
MIR, SPEAKER: The amendment which
propose as a substitute for the bill reported
by the committee provides for the establish
ment in the District of Columbia of a Normal
School for the education and training of
teachers, and for the instruction of advanced
pupils in the higher branches of English and
classical study. 1t differs in one instance
from the bill reported by the committee in
giving the proposed normal school an aca-
demic character, thus intending to raise its
tone and extend its usefulness as an educa-
tional institution. The bill offered as sub
stitute also creates commission to be COM
posed of the trustees of colOred schools,
an equal number of trustees OF public
schools, and one representative OF county
schools, which commission is authorized to
select q site, and to prepare plans and speci-
fications for an appropriate school building,
to be reported by the commissioners, with
their estimates. to the Legislative Assembly
MT its next session. 1t does not authorize
the construction of any building, nor decide
any questions relative thereto, nor make any
appropriation for building purposes. All this
is left to the consideration and for the iudg-
ment and action of the Legislative Assembly
at later period.
The first section provides simply that such
school shall be established in this District,
and it provides for taking the initatory steps
only for building for that purpose.
The second section authorizes the commits

Day- The man Thomas Hendricks, who, in
1866, said in the Senate of the United States
that he would suffer his right arm to be cut off
before negroes should be allowed to vote in
Indiana with his consent, is the candidate of
Liberal Republicans, and their allies, Cop
perheads, for Governor of Indiana, and the
Liberals think to gain votes from the colored
voters of that State for their candidate.

Gen. Mcclellan is not in favor of the
election of Horace Greeley--at least, the New
York World says so. Mcclellan evidently
does not forget the Peninsula. The Tribune
would probably like to see now little of the
"masterly inactivity" which panied it so
much some years ago.
Mr.. Charles Henry Salisbury Pickwlek,
Of England, has had to abandon the name of
"Pickwick" because of the inconvenient
comic popularity attached to it by reason of
Dickens genius, and has taken his middle
name as the one he shall be known by here
after.

The Washington Daily Patriot, the organ
of the friends of a regular Democratic nomi-
nation at Baltimore, Of an out-and-out Bour-
bon Democrat, in labored editorial on the
10th instant, admits that Horace Greeley will
be the nominee of the Democratic Convention
in Baltimore and promises to support the
nominee of that convention, calling on all
opponents of General Grant to do likewise.

has simply and nobly performed his duty, and
accepted the generous reward his grateful
countrymen have offered him. He has not
invited offerings by any show of poverty, nor
repealed them by churlish contempt for them.
He has done only what decent respect Tor
his countrymen dictated. Even if he had
taken present of hundred thousand dollars
as a testimonial for past services, after his
election to the Presidency, the fact in itself,
need not imply anything dishonorable, es-
pecially if it were openly done. Perhaps,
there never was purer statesman than was
the late Richard Golden, of England. He
went to his grave without reproach. Yet,
while a member of the British Parliament,
voting on all questions affecting his country
men, he accepted gifts of thousands of pounds
sterling from his friends, and yet no English
man that we have ever heard of has ever
been mean enough to breathe a word against
the integrity Of that great and good man be-
cause of his gift-taking. John Bright is
another British statesman, than whom there
are none purer, and yet, John Bright, like
Golden, while member of Parliament,
openly received presents of large sums OF
money. Golden and Bright had nobly
served their country. They had been chiefly
instrumental in procuring the repeal of the
corn laws, and for this they received these
marks of honor and esteem. Grant has not
done less for his country than Golden and
Bright have done for theirs, and shame on
the meanness which would reproach him for
receiving reward like theirs.

This gentleman, one of the survivors of the
John Brown heroes of Harper's Ferry fame,
is now lying dangerously ill at the residence
of A. Nj. Green in this city. He is man
who deserves the respect of all the friends of
old John Brown, who may give evidence of
their belief that his 'soul is marching on" by
showing kindness and charity to one of his
followers who needs the consolation and as
sstance of friends.

Da- The New York Tribune correspondent
in this city with his usual accuracy concern

takes some note Of passing political events.

rRXAs CATTLE DISEASE.

The Cincinnati Board Of Health hnds
some difficulty in dealing with Texas cat

aase with which this kind of stock is az
fected.1 The farmers of Ohio have large
capital invested in dairy cows young cat

the approach Of contsgion in Texas droves,
which may spread far and wide In the in
fected districts among their native herds.
The Cincinnsu Enquirer thus presents
some points Of the case:
It's by no manner Of means certain that
the morbid virus can only be promulgated
during the warm season, or as the report
saws. from May to November, and upon the
ccntrary it is equally uncertain
whether its virulence is entirely
i,iIlad during the winter. The ques-
flor is grave one. Upon one side there
are our own cattle breeders upon the other

consumers Of meat, thousands OF whom
can not afford high prices. VI course, II

ryin the nation. The subject is difncuit
one, but il the Board of Health intend TO

MEDICAL Bubbles.

Columns would be required to enumerate the
medical bubbles that have risen to the surface
and burst since Hostetter's Stomach Bitters be-
came the standard tonic of the Western Hemis-
phere. Boasts the most extravaganza, fabrica-
tons the most prepOsterous, cant the most sick
ening, have in turn been employed to bolster up
the worthless preparations that have from time
to time been introduced, in the hope of dividing
the field with that famous vegetable remedy.
Signal failure has been the lot Of each and ali.
The reputation of the Bitters as a preventive of
epidemics, stomachic, an invig0rant, a general
restorative; and specific for Indigestion, bilious

complaints to which the more sensitive sex are
basis of more than twenty-years' experience, and

stock owing ko-tha Haat-0f .adeeuksa faeiI-
tiles for Transporting It TO market. The
West has heERtof0re relied on the Southern
States to take q considerable quantity of
their corn surplus. But this outlet has
been cut OF for the last two years from the
very excellent reason that the South now
not only produces enough corn to meet the
demands Of home consumption, but has a
surplus for expectation. The foreign de-
mand is limited partly by The high cost and
scarcity Of transportation, and partly by
the fact that there is still considerable pre-
JUDGE IN Europe against the consumption
OF American corn. But the comparative
deficiency in the wheat crop nevertheless
afforded an outlet for corn that probably
would not have occurred under more
bountiful yield of wheat, and the corn ex-
ports this year were on more extensive
scale than usual. As al evidence of the
large yield OF corn, it may be noted that the
total visible supply, including stocks in this
city and the lake ports, and in transit Sept.
rs, amounted to Is, 800, 1874 bushels, against
1854 900 bushels at the cor responding pc
Rod last year. The exports Of corn from
the first Of January TO the first Of October,
1872, were 20,622, 245 bushels, an increase
of II zoo, 900 bushels over the correspond
ing period last year."

As the season Is at hand for storing fruit
for winter. we venture TO remind our read
ers Of process in use by the French for
keeping # sound. We have more than
once referred to this process, but it re-
quires much hammering to get an idea
fixed in peoples heads. The conditions
are dry cellar, out Of The reach Of frost,
and such a eontrivance as will induce a
constant current of afr through the fruit.
A barrel perforated at both ends and raised
some inches from the ground in . dry
cellar mests the requirements. The
philosophy Of the process Is in pre-
venting the sweating of the fruit,
which induces decay, or, if it takes place,
to arrest IT. speedily by the current of air.
A succession. of shelves, the whole extent
of the cellar wall, composed of laths, with
spaces between, and boxed in front, six
inches from the ground and six inches open
at the top, would substitute the perforated
barrel on larger scale. The shelves are
better than the barrel, and for delicate
fruit like pears, which should not touch one
another, are Indispensable. By this means
pears may be kept till they come again.
And 30 Of apples and sweet potatoes. With
respect to grapes, the experiments have not
been satisfactory. The French have tried
different modes of suspending the punches,
but without any uniformity of result. A
methed of preserving grapes fresh and
sound Is still desiderstum. .

For the Union and American.
: GEN. ROBERT Il. LEE.

Weep for the WARRIOR dead,
With tears bedew his grave,
With garlands deck the bero's bed
The noble, true, and brave.
Weep for the gallant Lee,
Vrginia's honored son,
High on the roll of fame is he,
A second Washington.
Sprung from valiant Sire,
In Freedoms cause renowned,
His soul was stirred with martial fire,
His youth with virtue Gro wned.
He to his country gave
His manhood's richest gore;
Where Southern palms in beauty wave,
The stars and stripes he bore.
On Cerro Gordo's height,
On Cherubuseo's plain,
He rushed into the thickest fight,
Amid the iron rain.
The foe he helped to hurl
From Mexico's proud walls,
His country's banner to unfurl
Ger MOntszuma's Halls.
When fratricidal strife
Proclaimed its trumpet cal,
He TO the South devoted life,
His sword, his purse, his all.
To glorious victory led;
But all in vain, the cause was lost,
For which so many bfed.
Where peaceful waters flow,
On Appomattox's field,
He struck his last, sad, fruitful blow,
Compelled by Fate to yield.
All honor unto Lee
For deeds so bravely done;
On many hard fought field had he
Unfading laurels won.
Around his noble brow
Immortal wreaths entwine;
And unto distant times, as now,
Let his bright virtues shine.
He sheathed his trusty blade,
From scenes of war withdrew;
In Learning's calm and classic shade
His later moments few.
But soon the shaft of death
Entered his manly breast,
He yielded up his vital breath,
And gently sank to rest.
By Jackson's side he lies,
The one he loved 50 well;
Their souls, translated to the skies,
In bliss and glory dwell
We Southern matrons weep;
Ye maidens ga her here,
Where these two christian heroes sleep,
And shed AFFECTIONS tear. j. II. M

puEsERvING MEAT By FREEZING
