Colonel BlantOn Duncan, who has been
fighting the Greeley movement in Kentucky,
gives up the contest, and announces his re-
tirement to private life in a letter to the
Cou,ier-JOurndt, which that paper heads
slender and Touching" The gallant and
disguised Colonel says:
1t is an inflammation of insane people to con-
slider others crazy. Everybody is aware that
the Greeleyites and myself entertain those
ideas reciprocally Of each other. But which
is the lunatic can only be decided by future
events. When the meeting Of the 18th re-
solved itself into a Greeley Club, l and other
Democrats no longer participated, except as
spectators. AS there is a clear intention to
disband the Kentucky Democratic organiza-
ton, and the great mass of its former MEM
beers are now enlisted under the head of two
most pronounced Radicals and AbOlitiOnists
of.twenty years. standing, l have no more
right to enter their meetings or conventions
in order to produce discOrd than would have
to disturb the meetings and conventions
which support two other distinguished Radi-
Gals. The respectable minority who agree
with me can still 'eat, drink, and be merry"
having no responsibility resting upon them,
and free from all the excitements of the COM
ing months. We can hope that the country
will be safe under any circumstances, and
when we go fishing next November we will
certainly avoid the classic banks Of Salt
River, because too many of our late friends
may be crowded for standing room.

Greeiey's Eligibility.

The Boston 2fareler suggests that Zone
of the reasons for which Carl Schurz is silent
on the Greeley question. is supposed to be
the belief on his part that the Axeman of
Chappaqua is ineligible to office, because in
all the amnesty bills passed by Congress for
the removal of political disabilities, the name
of Horace Greeley does not appear. His
voluntary advice and encouragement which
he gave to the seeding States, now counts
against him, for as matters stand no person
can hold any office whatsoever, who cannot
make oath that he has never given any aid
or countenance, counsel or encouragement
to parties engaged in avowed hOstilities
against the Government of the United States,
and that he has never yet aided or voluntarily
supported any pretended government, au-
thority, power, or constitution within the
United States hostile or inimical thereto. 1t
is well known that Horace Greeley cannot,
without perjury, subscribe to such an oath,
and his ineligibity to the Presidential Office
is therefore established

Rights Of COIOrcd Passengers on
Steamboats,.

There was tried yesterday in the United
States District Court, Hon. Judge Giles, the
libel case of Josephine Carr, colOred, against
Edward S. l.. Young, Captain of the steamer
Chester, belonging to the Eastern Shore
Steamboat Company. The facts of the case
as they appeared in evidence were that Miss
Carr, who was at the time a teacher in one
of the public schools of Kent county, located
ut Crumpton, on the Nth of May last went
on board the steamer in Baltimore in order
to go to Crumpton, and took her seat in the
main or general saloon; that shortly after
the steamer started she was informed by the
chambermaid that the clerk had sent her (the
chambermaidD to request her to leave the sa-
loon and take her place in the forward cabin !;
that being willing to pay full fare she de-
clined to do so and that in short time after
wards the Captain and one John Nicholson
or NickersOn, a passenger, came into the
cabin and demanded that she should leave,
and upon her again refusing they took hold
of her and pulled her by force out of her seat
and pushed and dragged her out of the sa-
loon; that Nicholson also addressed an
abusive epithet to her, and that not being al
lowed to return to the saloon, she remained
on the bow of the steamer until it reached
Chestertown and then left it. For the injury
and indignty she received Miss Carr in her
libel claimed $4,000.
The defense on the part of the Captain was
that Miss Carr had only paid one dollar for
her fare, and that this only entitled her to a
place in the forward cabin, reserved for col
Ored people; that this forward cabin was
equal in every respect but size to the main
saloon, and that it had invariably been the
custom of all colored persons to take their
seats in that cabin. The case was submitted
to the Judge without argument He said
that the question involved had been settled
by the Circuit Court, after full argument, and
its decision was binding upon him. That the
law was now fully settled that common car
riers either by land or water have no right to
make any distinction between their passen-
gers on account of their race or color, and
hence he would sign decree for the libel
liant; but in consideration of the fact that the
Captain had acted in accordance with what
he thought the company had right to do,
he would make the penalty lighter than he
would otherwise have done. He then signed
a decree for the libellant for s25 and costs
($4l.O7.) The amount of the decree and
costs was Immediately paid to the Clerk of
the Court by the clerk of the boat, and the
decree was entered satisfied. Mr.. Archibald
Stirling, Jr., represented the libellant, and
Gen. F. &. LatrObe acted as counsel for the
Captain. --BaNimore american, 10Th.

The New Postal EBili.

This bill, which became a law Just before
the session closed, makes some changes in
existing postal regulations which are Of gem
eral interest. The most important is the
authorization of one cent postal cards for cor
respondence or for printed circulars similar to
those which were introduced in Great Britain
nearly two years ago, and are now in use IN
nearly all European countries. The House
provided in the bill for cards with paper
flap TO cover and conceal the writing. The
Senate changed this to an open card. In
conference committee the style of the card
was left to the discretion Of the Postmaster
General, who prefers the open card, and will
order that kind only to be manufactured.
The face of the card will bear IA one-cent
stamp, and will be provided with lines for
the address, and the back will be ruled for
the letter. The price of the card and stamp
will be only one cent. Ii will probably be
three or four weeks before they will be ready
for sale, as the plates for printing have vet
to be prepared. The postage on circulars.
newspapers, and other transient printed mat
ter, which, under the old law, was two cents
for every four onces or less, is now one cent
for two ounces or less. Small circulars, which
formerly cost two cents To mall can now be
sent Tor one cent, AN important reduction TO
business men who use the mails largely to
advertise their business. The change is now
III force, the law being Immediate in its effects.
The First Assistant Postmaster General re-
fused to recognize the law, however, when
an attorney laid the question before him,
after having been told at the city post office
that his circulars with one-cent stamp could
not be sent. The official claimed the right
to suspend the operation of the law until it
could be promulgated to postmasters through
out the country. This claim is regarded as
indefensible. The law is now operative and
everybody is entitled 10 claim its benefits,
postmasters being expected to know its pre-
visions as well as other people.

AS SOME of the opposition papers are as
sorting that Senator Wilson was some twenty
years ago in sympathy with the KnowNot 9TH
ing party, it may be worth while to remind
them that Horace Greeley, whom they are
generally supporting for the Presidency, was
similarly affected in 1868. The following
communication addressed to the editor of the
World, and signed "B. d." throws light
upon this subject:
You will find in the New Y ork Express of
August q, 1858, speech from Horace Gree
ley from the same stand with J. T. Headley,
advocating fusion ticket of Republicans and
Know Nothings, ut Kingston, New York
Mr.. Greeley said "he concurred generally and
heartily in the propositions which they had
adopted" One of the resolutions urged the
passage of a "law excluding the foreign-born
citizen from vote in the State until he shall
have resided in it as long as an American
born citizen exercising the same franchise"
tains the speeches, sc. This was Mr.. Gree
lev individually. The Tribune urged fusion
upon the same State and county officers, and
said. ssWe trust it may yet be found practical
BILE in the Congressional districts"
OF course no sensible person, be he of for
eign or American birth, supposes that Gree
ley would make any the worse President in
the year 1873 because of his connection with
Known othingism in 1858. Neither can such
trumped-up charge affect the popularity of
Henry Wilson, the friend of the workingman.
Candidates like Senator Wilson, who have
served the State in high positions for a long
term Of years, are to be judged by their pub
lie record as ofiicers-not by any notions
which they may have maintained score oil
years ago.-Press.

at would surprise you to find how dead
are past political issues" Mississippian
writes. To which the Chicago Post responds ::
"People in this region suspect that there is
too much 'possum' in the wonderful acques-
cence of past political issues at the South.
When the party that raised and prosecuted
those issues through four long years is dead,
there will be better grounds than now for
believing the issues are really defunct, not
sleeping"
Gen. John B. Gordon, Of Georgia, goes
in for Greeley, if he is Endorsed at Baltimore,
as he thinks temporary alliance will be no
dishonor, If thereby they can attain their
ends.

"ASiNoioN, ~. u, June ~, 1872.
To the Editor Of The Near National Era:
DEAR SIR: You have honored me by pub
fishing my business note, with comments. and
L thank you sincerely for emitting the cpl
thets and abuse, which, by long practice, are
supposed to be merited by subscriber who
dscontinues his paper.
My complaint against Your editorial course
was not that you opposed the election of MIR.
Greeley. That is the right of every citizen.
But did and still do complain that your OBJ
position is conducted with offensive epitbets
and bitter denunciation. Horace Greeley
has been the school-master of your race and
mine for third of century. lie has taught
us all so many valuable lessons, and has been
so manly, so unsellish, SO charitable and for
giving during our long tutelage, that recoil
win disgust from any periodical that now
seeks to tarnish his fame.
Abraham Lincoln did not hesitate TO ayow
that all, or nearly all, he knew of statesman
ship was learned from Horace Greeley, and
cannot help believing that the eloquent and
hOnored Frederick Douglass, were he to take
an exhaustive inventory of his requirements.
and trace them to the proper school, would
give the same great teacher far more credit
than you seem willing to accord.
But enough of this. You oppose the cleo
ton OF Greeley. l advocate it. We can part
- PN.ASS' L HcNeT ueU. UTdnC.
As soldier he has warm corner in all
hearts. Why can you not treat Mr.. Greeley
in the same spirit? Why persist in the
abomnable practice Of coupling a manly op-
position (the right of alD with scandalous and
vindictive denunciation The New Ma
TIONAL ERA ought to be above such wicked
ness. Yours, &C.,
j. c. SMITH.
To all which the New NATIONAL ERA re-
spends that Mr.. Smith has utterly failed to
produce in the above a single scandalous,
vindictive, or denunciatory epithet taken from
its editorial columns. And the fact that he
has not is the best evidence of the utter
groundlessness of his complaints against the
New NATIONAL ERA. With Horace Gree
ley as an Abolitionist, as endeavoring to abo-
litionize the Wing party, as endeavoring to
build up the Republican party, as bravely in
sisting upon justice for the negro in the re-
construction Of the rebel States, as contend
ing for the impeachment of Andrew Johnson,
and as dealing heavy bolts upon the head of
tyranny everywhere, We have no quarrel. But
with Horace Greeley seeking a nomination at
the hands of all the reactionary elements of
the country, We have controversy, and shall
maintain it with all steadfastness and fidelity.
though hundred Smiths refuse longer to
take our paper on that account.
