cause was hopeless.
All last week large number of the
delegates 10 Baltimore were in the city, and
| their visit was made the occasion Of sew
| eral pleasant reunions, one of which oc-
| CURED at Chappaqua, the country home of
| Horace Greeley. Taking the early train In
the morning, guests to the number of about
200 visited The sage In bis rural retreat and
spent the greater part of the day. A de-
licious repast was spread for the party
under grove of fir trees, and there under
the inspiration of lemonade and spring.
water quite a number of speeches were
made, sparkling with wit and eloquence.
The philosopher himself Che is called by
stead of telling them about politics, told
them only of what he knew about farming
as applied 10 his own Chappaqua farm.
Senator Gwin, Co.'s. Burch, McRae and
Shorter, together with large number of
delegates were present and appeared to
enjoy the entertainment vastly.
The next evening a gathering occurred
at the residence of Mr.. John Mack, No.
1865 Fourth avenue, at which quite num-
Der of ladies and ger tlemen were present,
and had the pleasure of meeting Mr.. Gree
ley, with his s'farmer manner" off in
measure. This was drawing room enter
tainment at which a select party of elegant
and agreeable ladies and gentlemen were
present, and our candidate acquitted him
self quite as creditably in this new role as
be did in the character Of country gentle
man, displaying comeliness of costume
and an ease of manner that gave the lie to
the gross caricatures of bis personal appear
ance which seem to be the chief argument
of the GRANTEES against him.
Mrs. Judge White, the mother of Mrs.
Mack. with her lovely daughters, assisted
the fair hostess in receiving the guests. She
is the widow of Judge White of the Su-
preme Court of this State, who for many
years was the intimate personal friend of
Mr.. Greeley, and is a lady of queenly bear
ing and most distinguished address.
Among the guests present was Geo. N.
Sanders, lady and two sons, both practicing
lawyers in this city, and young men Of rare
talen. and capacity. Mr.. Sanders has late
ly returned to this country, is a little &C.
centric, but still has wonderful brain power
and will make himself felt in any sphere in
which he may be thrown. He has led a
curious and exciting life, and in personal
appearance reminds me strikingly of the
pictures Of Mirabeau-the intimate at one
time of Louis Napoleon; at another the ally
and friend of Kossuth and Mazzini; at an
other the editor of the celebrated Democrat
ic Reoieau; at still another Consul of Lon
don; at still another nominating Buchanan
at Cincinnati; again, repudiating sold Buck"
and championing Douglas at Charleston;
still again, coming South when the war be-
gun and becoming peace negotiator at
Niagara Falls. We find him in 1865 with
a price set on bis head as an accessory to
the death of Lineoln-a groundless SANDER.
During the late European war we find him
once more on top, the advisor of Trochu,
and for forty days his chief-ofstaff; and
here again now helping to elect Greeley and
Brown. A wonderful man in bis way is
Sanders. Among the other guests present
were ex-senator Hendricks, ex-Gov. Hebert,
of Louisiana, Col. Buell., of Tennessee,
Maj. A. D. Banks, of Mississippi. The first
is confident of being elected Governor of
Indiana this fall by rousing majority.
