We are aware that this article will be regarded
as deadly thrust at Mr., GreeleytB claims to
Democratic Endorsement at Baltimore. We shall
very likely be told again that we are making i
difficult for the World to wheel into line and
support Mr.. Greeley II he receives the Demo-
cratic nomination. This is just observation.
No doubt, IL toiu be difficult for the World to ad-
vocate Mr.. Greeley's election but we shall
make il equally difficult for every true Demo-
crat but II the Baltimore Convention shall put
us in that awkward, ridiculous position,we shall
have '1ots Of company" to keep us in counte-
nance, = III
Is THE TREATY TO FAIL?
IFrom the N. Y. MALL
We are unwilling 10 believe that after so
much time has been taken to save the Treaty
from the results Of incompetent diplomacy II
should now fail. 1t seems scarcely possible that
the English government should now interpose
fresh obstacles to a settlement and further test
the strength and patience of the friends OF the
Treaty on this side Of the water. We shall wait
anxiously forE definite and Trustworthy news
news from Washington and London. Until
such news is received we do not feel much like
speculating on the possibilities Of such great
disaster as the failure Of the Treaty.
THE EFFEor OF THE PENDING ELECTION on THE
SOUTH.
IFrom the N. Y. Times
The election Of Mr.. Greeley would be the sig
nal for the revival of all the disturbing elements
in the South; of the claims for compensation FOR
the slaves which he advocated In 1864; OF the ef-
fort to make men like jefferson Davis elgible
for the United States Senate, which he now
favors of the release Of the ku-klux from Federal
control, which he steadily demands. What the
South needs is \ feeling that the results Of the
war are irrevocable, and that, this fact once set
tied, all our people, white and black, can &c
about their lawful business with perfect free
dom and security. The reelection Of Genera
Grant would establish this feeling, already wei
implanted. The election Of Mr.. Greeley woult
destroy it, and remand the South to four years
of such vain and costly struggle as marked the
Administration Of Andrew johnson.
ANOTHER LICK AT THE REVENUE REFoRMERs.
from them. Y TT huns.l
small band Of Revenue Reformers in Cincin
natl who have from the first been relentlessly

| We suppose these gentlemen are not anxious t.
secure the reelection Of Gen. Grant, but in 81
far as their action has any influence it tend

couraging to remember that not one OF them hal
heretofore been found to control many vote

q discomfort among intelligent and earnest re

to see allayed, but they represent few votes OK
cepting their own.
