While the Greeley organs are filled with vile
charges Of fraud and corruption against Senator
Wilson and other prominent Republicans, which
they are called upon to deny, II will be woll TO
remember that Mr.. Greeley stands accused, on

the Presidential nomination. also Of having eN-
pressed himself 10 favor Of pensiOnlng rebel sol.

William NJ. Tweed In cigar mandatory, to
nono Of which charges has Mr. Greeley or his

the country would like to know II these charges
are false. They are all Of them important, and

Of guilt. They arc authenticated, not by any
mere pencil memorandum, but by legal dOcu-
ments and the sworn testimony OF reputable
men. Are wo to cOnstrue Mt. Grreley's failure

For several days one of the Democratic
Greeley organs has been endeavoring to hnd
out exactly the advantages England gained
over the United States In the settlement Of
the Alabama claims. Here they are:
l. England secures the carrying trade, worth
one hundred millions per Annum.
:. England secures . treaty by which the
United States are bound 10 keep the police Of
American waters and ports, In case England
should be engaged in foreign war, or q revolt In
ireland, so that no ships or arms eau DO sold or
transported TO any belligeTent
., She secures q receipt In full for all past
dopTedAtionB upon American commerce and q
pledge Of future and fratsrnal friendship, for
having OutWltted the Yankees.
Now, here are three of tue most wonderful
diplomatic discoveries that have been made
In long time. Evidently the great mistake
made In this whole business was that the pro,
found statesman who wrote the above was
not made a member Of the American com
