The Omaha Herald has been per,
mitted to inspect a private letter from
Honorable Benjamin Wood, of New
York, to a citizen of Nebraska.
and to make from it the following
extracts. The letter bears date Nav
II, 1872, having been written the dav
after the Democratic State Conven-
ton in New York:
My opinion is that Greeley will
be the next President of the United
States, and that he Will be renon
mated at Baltimore. Buff the Rad
icals a prevent his nomination by
the Democracy. Grant will rule as
long as he lives even if it be for

FoREsTALLING BALTIMORE.

The New York delegates, elected at
Rochester, are at least four-ffths IA
vorable to Greeley, and as the Con-
vention instructed them to vote as a
unit, it is as easy to place them now
as in the coming July. The Roches-
ter platform was also meant to be,
and is, a hearty Endorsement of the
Cincinnati platform. So much for
New York. Looking to Washington,
we see that, since the speech of Mr..
Voohees, an attempt to get up an
anti Greeley Endorsement among the
Democratic members has proved a
dead failure. The facts are thus
stated:
Just after the adjournment of the
Cincinnati Convention an appeal was
prepared by one Democratic Congress
man, calling upon the party o demand
of its Executive Committee a National
Convention and to send delegates
pledged to for only pronounced
Democrats. That appeal vas signed
by 80 members of the House, but " hen
presented for Senatorial signatures it
met with no success, By the counsel
Of judiciOus mel it was not issued; but
Mr.. Voorhees, and some of his friends,
to test the strength of their |
against Greeley, held a con-
>ultation to devise an atta"k, when to
heir establishment they found that
only a fourth of the original signers
a straight out Democratic nomina
ion stood firm, while others had de
clared for Greeley, or were q com
Democrats not heretofore APP
preached were to man opposed to
any action that would injure Mr.. Gree
.ey' S chances fora Democratic indorse-
nent at Baltimore.

A telegraph dispatch has been re-
ceived in Sacramentofrom Idaho, an
nouncing that Wells, the Sacramen-
to murderer, has been arrested. The
Union thinks it doubtful whether the
authorities will send after him, as SO
long time has elapsed since the
murders ere committed, and the
witnesses have become so scattered
that it would be almost impossible
to secure a conviction, while the
costs that would be saddled upon the
county would be very large.

1t is urged by a portion of the
Radical press that the Philadelphia
Convention will take the wind out of
the sails of the Liberal Republicans
by adopting the Cincinnati platform
with the exception of the "one-term
plank" To do so would be to repu-
date and denounce the Administra-
ton of Grant, for the Cincinnati
platform is in direct opposition to
the policy pursued by him. Indeed,
the whole Liberal movement has
grown out of his bad faith and cor
ruptions in Office, and should the
Philadelphia Convention do as sug-
gested it would be an unequivocal
acknowledgment of the untitness of
Grant for President and a repudia-
ton of all the leading measures of
the Radical party.

1.-THE MOnevea Glass "

There is no such class in Virginia now.
There are no overgrown fortunes within her
borders. There is no creditor class. There
is no cbss of men who hold claims against
Others without themselves owing anything
to others. We suppose Richmond is about
and what boast can she make of class of
moneyed men: There is capital here, but
much of it is northern, and that part of the
banking capital which is owned in Richmond
is held mainly by business men in rather
small amounts, and constitutes in part the
basis Of loans for the prosecution of their
business. The aggregate valuation OF the
property of Richmond is only half as much
as STEWART, OF New York, is worth, and
that would argue that there Is no money
power here--none worthy to be so called
as money power is understood to he one
that has force and control in the shaping OF
public affairs.
1t is indeed absurd to talk about any
money power in Virginia. 1t would be as
sensible to accuse us now of being Il slave
power. But the assumption that we have
both "money power" and Il "creditor
class" is necessary as a part of the play of
"Relief," which has become to be q sort of
tragical-farcc, the last stage of which is Il
soliloquy of the chief traScdian against the
courts, which seems to be refined and

"TUcst VIRGINIA Certificates"

From the Wheeling Register. harcn l..
In the proceedings OF the Virginia Legs
latrre we observe mention Of a bill rrpudi-
ating The West Nrgini, certificates, rs they
are called. deposited with the state Treasurer
h.; foreign insurance companies doing bust
ness in VIRGINIA. Ii will b" remembered
that vcar or two ago Virginia issued bonds
for two-:hrds of her State debt TO all who
would re cciye them. on condition that the ere
litor should ttkca certificate for the other one
third: which certificate is to be redeemed
after settlement is had between the two
States. These certificates have been known
as West Virginia certificates" although il
is not pretended that West Virginia is III any
sense liable for them. II was distinctly un-
dcrStood that the payment OF them was only
postponed by Virginia until a settlement be-
tween the two States was had, and that she
in 10 wise sought TO impair her liability FOL
that portion Of her debt. But this bill, which
has been ordered to It's engrossment in the
House, declares that Virginia is not liable Tor
aud will not pay any part of this deferred
onc-third.
Well. this is question entirely between
Virginia and her creditors, and one in which
the people Of West Virginia will feel very
little interest West Virginia made one eff
fort to bring about IN amclble and equitable
settlement of the debt question. but she was
handsomely Snubbcd by the "old mothers
Chief Executive; and we believe she thinks
her policy is TO maintain "maSteliy mac
tivity" for the present.
