Greeley fans, wLioh are much in vogue
now, represent the benevolent old mans
phiz, bearded with a fringe of silvery
gossamer.
Abiding to statement of a Grant
organ. that the North Carolina election
will be taken as an indication of the
drift OF the public sentiment the Louis
vile Courier-JoMrnal says if the renomi-
nationists carry tho State. it will "cer-
tainly show the way that $3.50. 600 Of the
public money has drifted."
The present campaign is waged be-
tween faith in Grant and hope in Gree
ley. And as hope has charity for an ally,
there is no question it will win.
Cameron's order to weed out all the
Greeley men in the custom house, post
Office and mint, at Philadelphia. has not
been executed. The reason given is,
that the dismissal of such large body of
officials would show the Greeley strength
and do more harm than good to Gen.
Grant.
A Washington special to the Boston
Glo6e (Administration) says: "a gentle
man, who called on Senator Sumner this
morning. found him busily engaged in
the preparation OF letter in reply to
one received by him, signed by 100 co.
lored men. asking his advice as to how
they should vote at the coming Presi-
Dental election. The Senator, in his re-
ply, which will be brief, urges not only
that they vote for Greeley, but that they
use all honest endeavors to secure
Others of their race to vote likewise, re.
minding them of the fact that Greeley,
like himself, was one of their first and
firmest friends"

Jail that he might vote the Radical ticket.
SOUTHERN SECURITIES UNSETTLED.
The New York Herald, of the 10th, says:
The Southern State bonds were dull,
and for such business as was done prices
were unsettled. The new Tennessees
declined to o74; and the new South Caro-
lima July bonds were active, with an ad-
vance to 2911k., The old South Carolinas
were held at 80: The better feeling in
these latter securities is traceabie to the
further action of the South Carolina
bond-holders" meeting this morning, at
which it appeared that q fund OF $780,
600 had been secured to commence legal
proceedings in the interest Of the bond.
