A BombshelI for Greeley.

The letter of Charles O'Conor to the
Louisville Convention has had very dis
coufaging effect upon the friends of Mr..
Greeley. His subsequent refusal to accept
the nomination only adds force to it as
proving that it was the utterance of "a pure
ly unselfish, disinterested leader. The New
York correspondent of the Cincinnati Ca
sette telegraphs as follows, concerning it
under date OF the Sd;
Charles O'Conor's letter published this
afternoon, is the chief topic of nversatioii
to night. 1t is considered heavy blow Oh
the Greeley party, and causes much dis
gust among Greeley's adherents. Promi-
nent Democrats say it will cause much dis
satisfaction among the Democracy Of this
State, and predict loss of at least ten
thousand on Greeley's vote. Several bet
ting men, who had put up money on the
vote of the State, are hedging, and say an.
other blow like this will carry the State for
the Republicans by handsome majority

IT is amazing to behold the list of dam
aged regulations, the natural result of all
attempt on the part of certain gentlemen
to break down the President, by resorting
to mean, personal warfare. Horace Gree
ley is not the b. nest farmer that he was a
few months ago. Having provoked an
examination into his political record for
the past ten or fifteen years, it is found to
be very crooked affair. Then, if Gratz
Brown had not invited, it would prob
ably have never been published outside
of his own town that he INDUCED in the
luxury of "buttered watermelon" or was
fond of "soft-shelled crabs" If Mr..
Trumbull had kept himself within the
bounds of decency, his enormous fee in the
McArdle case would not have become a
matter of history. Mr.. Doolittle's cele-
brated cotton transaction would not have
been so generally known, IL he had not in
vited its publication as specimen of What
a reformern % can do. If Judson Kilpat-
rick had not courted it by indiscriminate
AMI mean attacks on the President, II
would never have been so generally known
that he had attempted to introduce an
abandoned woman into lillian society as
his wife, for which he was recalled. We
might string out this list of damaged rep
utations to an indefinite extent. Men will
probably learn that it is dangerous for the
occupants of glass houses to be throwing
stones at their ,neighbors, especially with
out good cause.

Strike Among Railway Passengers.

A stand was made the other day on a
New York Central train leaving Utica.
The car was crowded SO full of passen.
gers that twenty-three gentlemen failed
to obtain seats, and pretty well filed
up the aisle. Among the number was
a lawyer, who proposed to his twenty
two companions that they would not
give up their tickets until the conduc.
tor found them seats. They all agreed
to this, and when the conductor de
mandcd their tickets refused to give
them, telling him their reasons for do
ing so. He said there was plenty of
room in the drawing-room car Just
ahead, but, as there was extra charge on
it, they would not enter it. Finding they
were firm, he compromised by sending
twenty-three of the passengers, who
were already seated, into the drawing
room car without extra charge, and so
the tickets were handed over, and the
vacated seats taken.

There is horse at present in the Isle
of Man possessed of such singular in.
telligence and amiability of disposition
that the sooner he is bought from his
owner and transferred to London the
better. This good animal posi-.
lively refuses to run over human crea.
lures, and will throw himself into the
most intricate contortions rather than
injure hair of their heads. A few
days ago, according to the Manr Sun,
the horse in question was proceeding
through the market place in Douglas,
barnessed to an inside car" While
thus engaged in the performance of his
duties a child, aged years, the son of
fruit dealer, ran across the road in
/ front of the car, and was knocked down
by the horse. Our own London horses,
encouraged by their drivers, would have
made short work OF the hapiess infant;
not, so, however, the Manx horse, who
was observed by several bystanders " to
make a sudden pause, move its right
forefoot about, and having placed its
hoof lgntl on the child's breast to
again lift it up, putting 1t down by the
child's side without ipjuring it," The
bystanders Immediately extricated the
child from It's perilous position, and the
horse resumed its journey, carrying
with it the respect and admiration of
all who witnessed the scene.-PaH Mall
