Samuel BOWlcS on the Philadelphia Con-
TontiOU,

Mr.. Samuel BoWles, editor of the Spring
field Republican, the leading New Eng
land Liberal Republican journal, attended
the Philadelphia Convention and gives his
observations as follows:
The Convention greatly encourages the
Republican leaders. 1t was better every
way, larger, heartier, and exhibited the
party organization in stronger condition
than they feared would be the case. Quite
a number of prominent men appeared in
it who have been thought doubtful. Some
of them would not have been here had Mr..
Adams been nominated at Cincinnati. 1t
is felt that the Greeley movement has
made but small indentation on the party.
1t is certain that it has not broken or
weakened its organization. What it will
take of its voters is perhaps another queS-
ton, and can not easily be told now,
but the men here mean business. They
have started the campaign strongly. They
purpose to follow it up sharply and vigor
OuSly. They will have behind Grant and
Wilson the strongest combination of pOlit-
ical interests that were ever rallied to the
support of a Presidential ticket. The great
corporations of the country will be Oh its
side, The power of an administration
more personal and more bold in its power
than any that ever existed in the country,
will be exercised in its behalf. Able,
shrewd and even unscrupulous leaders will
direct the campaign for it. Money will be
abundant. The strongest speakers of the
party will be put upon the stump for it at
once, and General Wilson will join them
and keep the field till election. If the Ad-
ministration at Washington is not to be
perpetrated i'll the same hands and with
the same spirit, there must be a closer COM
bination of the opposition than is now
promised, wider popular demonstration of
the country's dissatisfaction with the situ-
alton and the prospect than are now ap-
parent.
OF course, every such great National
Convention closes with the confidence of
victory. That which nominated Fremont
here in 1856 did. Even that which nOmi-
mated Greeley, month ago, at Cincinnati,
separated with the halo of success over its
head. But though conventions do not
elect Presidents, and though June is not
November, this body has great good reason
now for the faith that is in it, 5. B.

one boat could be lowered which was filled
with women and children, but swamped
Oh touching the water. The other passen-

Struggled ashore. The propeller DOmin-

gers to Brockville. None of the cargo or
baggage was saved. The loss on the vessel
was SO, 600. Insured for $4,000.

Miss Fannie HOdSsOn.

We see by the Eastern papers received to-
day that our young authoresS, Miss Fannie
Hodgson, sailed from New York on the 8th
inst, in the steamer Columbia The early
departure of the steamer necessarily made her
stay in the Eastern cities brief but her recep-
ton by the Gterati of New York and Philadel-
phia was extremely fattering and we'll calculat-
ed to give pleasure to the many in Knoxville
who are deeply interested in her career, all
of whom will be highly gratifed to know that
her more than ordinary talent is at once recOg-
nized and appreciated by men of the highest
literary culture. 1t may well be a source of
pride to her friends to learn that d. Holland
considers her a second Charlotte Bronte," and
he numbers her among the first of the staff of
contributors to Scribner's Magazine" He Is
not alone in giving her extraordinary abilities
so high an estimate. A gentleman connected
with one ofou first monthlies, and whose opin-
ion on literary matters is beyond dispute, writes
that ''her articles display force and depth and
maturity of thought, wonderful, nay almost
beyond belief in one so young" He further says
that he is looking forward with more that usual
interest to the forthcoming boob-"which of
course she is so soon to write" We, too, shall
look forward with pleasurable anticipations of
seeing the first production from her pen that
may be dignifed by the name of book, and if
we are little impatient we hope that our fair
author will hOldit pardonable. Knoxville may
well be proud of Miss HodgSon. Her success
has been remarkable and above all, deserving.
Her articles are now sought for by the first pub
fishers in our country and the editor of one of
the most popular frst-clasS monthlieS in Eng
land has solicited permission to reprint
them there. May her future progress be as
great and equally we'll appreciated. We be-
speak the Columbia safe and pleasant passage,
and may Miss HodgSon's sojourn among her
friends in England be all that could be desired.

Will Attorney-General Barlow now

when is William NJ. Tweed to be
brought to justice? Mr.. Barlow knows
the whole city knows-that all politi-
cal circles have been agog for a fort
night past with the boast of his parti-
san faction, that, by means of a coali-
ton with William NJ. Tweed, they
mean to carry the City of New York
for Gen. Grant. A part of the bar

not, when does he mean to try him :?

can clear himself from suspicion. TRY

TIE CONGRESSIONAL DE-
MAILS.

There is the uniformity of a printed
blank form in the denials Of WILSON
BLAINE & Co., that they were pur.
chased by the Credit Mobi!ier. II
looks suspicious when all these pro,
ductions are worled about ilentically
alike. Thus, Wilson says, he ''nevel
owned bond or share of stock in the
Union Pacific Railroad Company
DAWES alone of all the disclaimers VIC
have seen, covers the whole case. He
says: Il never owned dollar Or any
stock or any property Of any kind that
I did not pay the full value Of, with
my own money, earned with my OWL
labor"
The reader who has attentively ex,
amined the facts in relation to tho
Credit Mobllier, will understand that
no one has charged any Of these men
with owning bonds or stock. The shares
assigned them simply represented the
interest they had in the dividends
above the par value. The market
price of this paper, after the action Of
Congress, rose to $3.50 per share, Of
which $3.50 was the clear dividend.
They were quite too sagaeious to have
their names appear as subscribers to
either stock or bonds, but the profits did
not show Oh the books. and had it not
been for the suit of McComb it would
nofhaye been known how much was
paid.

less Dawes is an exception, cover the
charges as made, WERE THEY PAID

The GRANTEES have put Fred Doug
lass at the head of the electoral ticket
in New York. This same Fred Doug.
lass once delivered himself of these
sentiments, and has never yet retraot.
ed them:
"From this time forth I consecrate
the labors Of my life to the DISSOLU-
TION OF THE UNION ; and l care
not whether the bolt that rends it shall
come from heaven or from hell"
We admit that the man who uttered
and still entertains these sentiments is
the fittest person to head the Grant
ticket in the Empire State. A disso-
luton OF the Union at the time these
sentiments were uttered was tanta-
mount to a Capitalization of power.
This is the Grant theory Of the govern
ment, as il was the theory Of another
party to dissolve the Union.-Tele-

4 Ringing speech I'm Favor OF
Greeley.

Governor Horatio Seymour made a
ringing Liberal speech at Utica last
week. He said: My relationship to
Mr.. Greeley has been other than of a
friendly character. lie has been a
sharp political opponent all my life
long, and can only stand up before
you now and urge you to vote for lin
as President Of tho United States be-
cause I feel myself called upon
IS one that would subseryc your inter-
ests; as one that would advance the
interests of his country, to lay aside my
natural pride and to lay aside my pas
sions to stand here to-day to urge you
to that course because | deem it my
duty. Applause. l have had no
personal interests with Mr.. Greeley. /
never expect to have any. / know it
has been said that at an early day his
nomination was contemplated by my
self, and some very imaginable gentle
men living in the southern portion Of
this State have amused themselves
with making up aflidayits to prove that
his nomination was in some degree
brought about by my interference.
They made Greeley say that he was in
favor Of pens;oning rebel soldiers; but
upon more careful reading, tLey
found that Mr.. Greeley had written
that in 1864 Mr.. Chase ought to have
been nominated instead of ny SELF
This is as near as they come to the
Truth in their other charges The
Grant men ask us how we can stand
Greeley for four years. They have
worsbiped him for thirty years. We,
as Democrats. do not ask a Republican
to abandon any of his principles, nor
do we offer to change ours.
We want new order Of things. If
such men as Horace Greeley can lay
aside all old prejulices, every Republic
can can. We only ask Of MIR. Greeley
when he goes to Washington, that he
show US the books. { Applause. ] I do not
want any exposure for yinaictiVe purpo-
ses but only for direction in the future.
You used to say that there was some
thing wrong in N. Y. and you were right.
SO we say there is something wrong in
Washington, and we demand to see the
books. IF this great Reform move
ment shall result in laying bare all the
corruption and wrong Of the present
administration, so that the morals Of
the nation shall be improved, it will be
well for the whole people.

Grceley's Opinion OF Grant.


From the New York Tribune.
The Grant and Nilsson newspapers
seem to have a great respect for Mir
Greeley's opinion, or rather for what
they are pleased to put forward as his
opinion. In fact, cur LII. D. President
seems to be running mainly upon certi6-
Gates of good character (mostly forger-
ies) signed by the Liberal Republican
candidate. For instance:
''Grant and his policy deserve the very
highest credit Horace Greeley.
General Grant has never been beaten,
and he never will.n Horace Greeley.
1.-THE people of the United States know
General Grant" Horace Greedy
Now, it is evident that if Mr., Greeley
ever did give the Doctor these certif-
Gates Of character they must have been
obtained under false pretenses. Scry-
ants frequently manage to get what they
call "characters. Some body certihes
that the bearer, who then might have
been fifteen, is sober and industrious;
and upon the strength of this she man
ages to get situations long after she is
forty-ivc, inebriate, and lazy. If Mr..
Greeley ever did give the office holders
candidate "a character" the public by
this time knows that it has been with
drawn and rcscinded. If Mr.. Greeley
mistook his man, SO did thousands OF
others who have publicly owned their
error
