OF the kind more calculated taud Tt
signedly) to undermine public confidence
and destroy its business, than this OF the
Picdyane in question. Such assertions
and accusations can not fail to work direct
pecuniary injury, and perhaps ~irrecovera-
bic loss Of patronage A clearer and more
j~ustifable claim for damages we can not
conceive, and the bank officers owe it to
the stockholders whose interests they are
pledged to protect, to adopt some measure
for making them whole. Law suits Of
such description are generally contempt
bic in their foundation, but this would
prove a marked exception to the rule.
The puerile defense Of the Picayune that
it is the duty Of journalism to throw about
institutions in which the public have a
legitimate concern "the safeguards of q
wholesome publicity, is worthy only of a
journal that would 50 wantonly do injury
to scores of our best citizens. The present
management Of the bank will have pre-
served it a Furnishing institution, when
the present managers of the Peoples
Paper" are likely to have succeeded in
making that a thing of history only.

GREELEY, THE PEOPLES FRIEND.

The delegates Of the people, assembled
in Cincinnati for the purpose Of baptizing
the Liberal Republican Reform party and
making choice of its standard-bearers in
the coming Presidential contest, yesterday,
after six exciting ballots, selected Horace
Greeley as the candidate Of the new party
for President. The choice is a good one, and
viii undoubtedly command the confidence
and support of that large majority Of the
American people who believe the time has
arrived when measures of reform are alb
s~olntely needed for the salvation Of Re
publican government in the United States.
Mr.. Greeley has long been distinguished
as the champion Of freedom and the able
advocate of the rights Of the people, and
as it is now almost certain that he Will be
elected in November next President instead
Of Ulysses S.. Grant, a short account of
this good and true man will not be out Of
place at this time.
Mr.. Greeley was born at Amherst, New
Hampshire, in February, 1911, the son of
a poor farmer. Like many others who
have risen to greatness in this country, he
learned the art Of printing, became a pub
lie journalist, and became well versed in
party politics at an early age. In January,
1888, he commenced, in connection with
Francis Story, in the city Of New York,
the publication Of the first daily penny
paper in this country. It was called the
Morning Post. He If forward founded a
weekly paper Of much influence, entitled
the Ne2C Yorker. 1t was a literary journal,
and neutral in politics. lie was the editor
Of this paper, and continued its publica-
ton seven years from March, 1884. He
also edited the Jcfersoaiaa from March,
1888, to March, 1899, a weekly Wing
paper, published under the direction Of
the Wing central committee Of the State
of New York.
In May, 1910, Mr.. Greeley began the
publication Of the Log CaJ1, a weekly
campaign paper, which supported General
Harrison for President. parton's Life Of
Greeley says the publication Of the Lon
CaJin, which reached a circulation of
eighty thousand subscribers. gave him an
immense reputation in all parts Of the
country as an able writer and a jealous
politician. The election Of General Har-
rison restored the Wing party to power,
and in 1871 Mr.. Greeley commenced the
publication of the n jbune, which has be-
come such a power in the land under his
management. In 1848 Mr.. Greeley was
elected a member of Congress. In 1850
he published 'Hints toward Reforms, a
work composed partly Of lectures he had
delivered at various places on temperance,
popular education, the organization of la
Dor, etc. His great aim, according to Parton,
rs ever the same; the object of his public
life is single; it is the emancipation of
labor-its emancipation from ignorance.
vice, %servitude, poverty" In 1851 Mr..
Greeley visited Europe, and afterward

Pl1h-lshea 8 #6rhh entitled Chances at Eu-
rope" As early as 1916, after the defeat
OF MIR. Clay in the Presidential contest of
Il previous year, MIR. Greeley assumed an
attitude OF decided hostility to slavery, and
consistently maintained that position.until
slavery was abolished. Upon this issue
he supported the election of General John
=. Fremont in 1856 and the election of
Abraham Lincoln in 1860. In 1864 Mr..
Greeley commenced his publication-in
two volumes - of ''The American
Conflict" This work has greatly added
to his literary reputation. At
the end of the civil war he
was the first to urge universal amnesty
and universal suffrage, and in May, 1867,
as an earnest Of his desire to have the past
differences Of his countrymen forgotten,
he signed the bond Of jefferson Davis,
and restored him to liberty. No man has
done more to lberate the colored people
Of this country and ameliorate their con
dition than Mr.. Greeley. And his labor8
have been just as earnestly given for the
benefit and advancement Of the white la
boring classes. His sympathies are de-
cidedly with the working people, and a
republican form Of government admins
tered for their benefit and advancement.
Let them rally, then, to the standard of the
new party, the Liberal Republican Reform
party, and elect Mr.. Greeley President.
He is just the man to reform the admins
tration Of affairs, and bring back repub-
ican government to a healthy condition
in the American Union. With Mr.. Gree
ley in the Presidential chair, the zone
term" principle might be considered es-
tablished. There will be an end then to
nepotism and gift taking, and the military
will undoubtedly be rendered subordinate
to the civil power.

A PEGULTAR QUESTION,

His honor Mayor Flanders will no
doubt assume and maintain that he is
thoroughly honest and faithful in his off
cial relations with the city Of New Orleans.
We assume and maintain that he owes his
office to the influence of Governor War
mouth alone, for the Governor not only
appointed him in the first place, and Sc
cured his nomination in the second place.
but he at present holds the resignation of
Mayor Flanders in his hands, to be ac-
cepted at his own good pleasure. Is it
not inconsistent, then, in the Mayor to
accuse an officer who appointed him to his
present position, who has maintained him
there at the expense Of some personal in
fluence in other quarters, and who could
remove him by accepting his resigna-
ton, of being accountable for the
faults which other men have committed?
If the Governor had intended to fos-
ter and encourage extravaganza in the
Council, would he have placed 'honest
~ l. LANC IL q postum " DC anu
know what he was doing? If evil had
been intended, or was at present in contem-
plation, would not the services of Mr..
Flanders be dispensed with? There are
scores of gentlemen in New Orleans who
are just as capable and popular as the
Mayor, and their services can be secured
at any time that the Governor may select
to accept the resignation Of the present
incumbent, and yet they are not selected
because the officer who can appoint them
has SO far chosen to endure the hostility
Of Mr.. Flanders to making a change which
might result in injury to the city. How
long would President Grant allow one of
political enemies to continue in office
after abusing and slandering him as Mr..
Flanders has abused and slandered Gov
ernor Warmoth? How long would Presi-
dent jackson have done so?

0ne Of the blessings that those who Re-
manned away from Cincinnati may con
graduate themselves upon having en-
joyed is the fact that they escaped seeing
or hearing George Francis Train. If there
is a nuisance on the broad surface Of the
American continent it is this man, whose
legs seem to be ceaselessly bearing him
about to the molestation of the people.
An egotist, he is incapable of discovering
when his presence is a punishment to the
victim Of his opportunities; a fool, he
wearies the patience of Intelligence with
his eternal and Astounding egotism; impu-
dent and prolix, he intrudes only to con-
tinue until nothing but flight or violence
Will suffice to relieve the tortured sufferer
of his volubility. This man was in Gin
cinnati, as he will be in Philadelphia, or
wherever else a body Of gentlemen are
gathered together, and he gave his unso-
licited jargon to the public there, as he
will give it elsewhere. Like the Italian
organ-grinder, he is always at the corner
with his h~urdy-gurdy waiting to be paidto
90 away.
