INSANITY OF HORACE GREELEY.-One
of the saddest items of news that has come
over the wires this many a day, is the
announcement that Horace Greeley, the
great journalist, has become insane, and
been confined in the asylum at White
Plains. 1t is considered that grief for
the recent loss of his wife, together with
the severe tax upon his mental and phys
ical powers, in watching SO long by her
bedside, together with the chagrin Undue
ed by SO signal a defeat for the Presiden-
cy, are the causes bringing on his malady.

WHAT DOES 1T MEAN.-The National
Republican of this morning says, editori-
ally, that Gov. Warmoth, in an address to
the Pinchback Convention; last night
informed that body that he did not desire
the Convention to accept his preference
for the Presidency of the nation but
thought it better to eschew national
politics and unite all Republicans on a
State ticket, adding that this could best
be accomplished by adjourning to Baton
Rouge, when both Conventions pinch
backs and Packard's) could come togeth-
er. The Convention acted upon his ad-
vice. sE
Now as the Packard Convention will
contain a large majority Of delegates in
favor ofGrant's nomination at Philadel-
phia, what can this mean but surrender
to Marshal Packard! Gov. Warmoth can
not expect to control the action of the
Convention at Baton Rouge as he has
controlled the action of that which has
just adjourned in this city. There seems
to have been complete somersauft on
the part of the Governor. The Pinch
back Convention having been called to-
gether chiefly to elect delegates to
Philadelphia and having omitted to do SO,
the Inference is unavoidable that a re-
union OF the two wings of Republican
party is on the tapis, the Governor hav-
ing come to the conclusion tnat his COM
6inatlon scheme with the Democrats and
kef0rmers was impracticable.
The question then ariser: Will the
Custom House wing receive Warmoth
back into their ranks? And if they do
receive him, what will be the effect of
this unexpected movement upon the
Democratic associates of his Excellency?

DEATH OF JAMES GORDON BENNETT.
The telegraph announces the death of
Mr.. Bennett at his residence on the Hud-
son River yesterday, after a long illness
and at ripe age.
Mr.. Bennett was born in Banffshire,
Scotland, about the year 1900. He came
to the United States about the year 1919,
and was employed as reporter or assis-
tance editor of several journals of New
York city, and took an active part in po-
litics as a Supporter of Gen. Jackson.
About 1880 he became associate editor
of the Courier and Enquirer, and in 1885
founded the New York Herald, which
he conducted for many years with great
ability and success. Latterly he relin-
pushed the control of tile paper to his
son, James Gordon Bennett, Jr.
Mr.. Bennett acquired large fortune
by the publication of the Herald, which
at one time was q power in the land.
He was distinguished for untiring energy
in his profession of Journalist, but never
acquired any great reputation as a writer,
although he handled the pen with con-
siderable ease. He was rather forcible
than brilliant, his editorials being mark
ed by a terse brevity
The intelligence of the death of this
remarkable man coming to us upon the
eve of ursgoing to press, we are neces
sarily prevented from doing that justice
to his memory which his long services
and high position in the profession claim
at our hands, tribute to talent which
we should cheerfully pay.

THE Temper Of the Democratic
Convention.

We publish in this issue a full report
of the proceedings of the Democratic
Convention which assembled in the Ope-
ra House yesterday. So far there has
been nothing done towards accomplish
ing the work for which the Convention
has met. We presume that some pro-
gress will he made to-day. The tone
and temper of the Convention is good.
There may be forty or fifty of the dele
gates who would be willing, if they
thought the people would submit to it, to
coalesce with Gov. Warmoth, and per-
haps place him or some one acceptable
to him at the head of the ticket, but we
think the majority of the body are deci-
dedly opposed to any such arrangement
T. The first move of the friends Of coa-
lition with the Governor was to reorgan-
ize the Convention that is, to- displace
its incorruptibIe and clearheaded and
determined President, Mr.. Head. But
it was defeated with ease, the vote to
lay the motion on the table resulting i'm
q minority of235. Yeas 265, nays so.
This was regarded as test vote, show.
ing the strength of the Anti Warmoth-
ties.
We have great hopes that any attempt
to effect such coalition as this will be
defeated, and that fusion of the Demo
Gratis and Reformers will be easily and
quickly accomplished. The Convention
Of the Reform party meets in the Mason
ic Hall, ST. Charles street, to- day. The
question of appointing committee Of
conference with the Reformers came up,
and it was decided to appoint o commit
tee of eleven members. The resolution
was adopted by acclamation. The COM
mittee which was appointed by the chair
is composed of some of the ablest and
soundest men in the Convention. With
such men there can be no difficulty in
coming to prompt understanding with
the Reformers, and that of a character
to give satisfaction to all who desire the
redemption of the State from gnisrule.

Memphis, May b. George F. Clark,
alias Fisher, aeronaut, attached to
Noyes's Circus, made an ascension from
the bluffs in front Of the city, this after
noon. The balloon drifted southeast
striking Jackson Block, severing the
cords sustaining the trapeze on which he
was seated. He fell to the ground, dis
tance of sixty or seventy feet, breaking
both legs, one arm, and cutting and
bruising him terribly. Medical aid was
summoned, but it is not believed he will
live through the night. His parents re-
