THE New York HerQld gives the sub
stance Of conversation with A. T. Stewart
in reference to the effect of Greeley's cleo
ton upon the financial interests of the
country. Mr.. Stewards opinion of Bout
wells policy was asked. He replied:
Can you tell me what are the views of
Mr.. Boutwell,? l never could learn that he
had any special views or policy. supposed
his course was controlled by his judgment
OF existing circumstances. As far as his
policy consists in purchasing at a large
premium Government bonds, not yet due,
think the sooner that is terminated the
better for the country, and the sooner it is
understood that the Government intends
entering upon this policy, which at some
future time, no matter how remote, will
lead TO the resumption of specie payment,
the better it win be for everybody. Con-
| tinuing the course that has been pursued
the last four years will never lead US to
specie payment, but leave every merchant
at the mercy of gold gamblers.
Reporter: Then you have 10 fear that the
election of Mr.. Greeley will produce any
financial difficulty.
Mr.. Stewart: None whatever.
Reporter: What do you think of his pres
ent views on the tariff question? Would
they not, if carried out by a change of
tariff, lead to some confusion with mer-
chants?
Mr.. Stewart: Not at all. On the contra
ry, think Mr.. Greeley leaves that ques-
ton where it always should be left, with
the people through their members of con,
gress, uncontrolled by party dictation. l
have always commended that the tariff laws
to which our country looks for It's revenue,
should be dictated wholly by rules of equi-
ty and Justice so as to bear eqally in their
application upon all interests and all classes.
Take of the party whip, allow the men,
bers of congress to consult the general in-
terests of their respective constituents in
framing the tariff laws, and believe we
would find every interest much better
served than it now is.

The New York StaGts Zeitlmg, which
has been On the Presidential fence SO far,
says:
The liberation of the swindlers, Mercer
and Yerkes, from the Pennsylvania State
prison, is an act, in regard to which the
frmest purpose of the frmest man to keep
his blood cool in this contest of parties is
placed on trial which is too difficult 10
bear. The Cameron clique by this act of
desperation has given up Pennsylvania.
What viii our Pennsylvania neigbbors do?
We should not only despair of them, but of
the whole American people, if Pennsylva-
MIA does not strike just such decisive
blow against the Cameron Ring as New
York did against the Tweed Ring. Grant
has personally mixed in this matter. Peo-
pie will form their judgment OF Grants
case from these circumstances, and eventu-
ally throw Grant and HArtranft overheard
together.

C0IxORsED vOTERs IN R1CRmOND,
VKRGTNTA.

One ward in Richmond, Va, is said to
have 48S members Of Greeley club, all Of
whom are colored voters. They are en-
lightened, and understand their true inter-
ests. Every ward in Nashville would have
such a Greeley club, IL the same class Of
voters here saw as clearly as white people
that Greeley is a better friend to the South
than Grant. Grant promised. '.pedce," but
made aOdr on Southern and civil rights.
No man, white or black, who wants to
live in the South in peace and prosperity
should join its Radical enemies in the
North. Greeley represents purity in Office
and elections, equal rights and honesty in
sill parties.

81 MADE no war on the defenceless; never
disturbed their peace, nor wasted their property;
no citizen can raise his hand and say ever
sought to Cypress him. When, borne down by
overwhelming numbers, we were forced to sur
render, and the war was ended, accepted the
situation upon the honor of a soldier, and re-
turned to the pursuits Of peace. In my humble
way, have labored earnestly, from thai day to
this, for peace and reconciliation. The great
body of Confederate soldiers, who shared with
me the dangers and hardships Of that way, have
done likewise. We feel that we have not dis
honored our mother State, AID that she viii not
dishonor Us for having discharged a patriots
duty.n-B. F. CEEATHAM.

THE Audldnche says, of the COMPRESSION.
al race in the Memphis district:
'Lewis (Radical) is out Of the race, and
the friends, respectively, Of Messrs. KellaI
and Haynes need have no fears of Lewis
election, no matter for whom of the other
two they cast their votes"
That is what the johnson men are saying
I'M the race for Congressman at large. That
is what they told Us here in the late race for
Mayor. The result was the election of a
Radical. So it may be in The Haynes-Kel-
lar and Cheatham-Johnson races. 1t is
certainly very evident that neither Mr..
johnson nor Col. Kellsr have any reasons
able chance for election. Their chances
are not only small but growing less every
day. Independents may elect Radicals;
they most assuredly cannot elect themselves.

THIS day week the New York Tribune
published documents to show that Speaker
Blaine handled nearly two million dollars
of corruption fund furnished in 1863 by the
Kansas Pacific road, to start the great rail-
road swindles through Congress. Last
Wednesday, In speech at Cleveland, O.,
Speaker Blaine sought to deny this charge,
on the ground that he was not Speaker in
1868 or even member of Congress. The
Tribune, however, sticks to the charge and
publishes fac simile of the most obnoxi-
GUS old document, saying: H
Mr.. Blaine does not tell the truth when he
says we charged him not only as a repre-
sentative bit speaker, with the Pacific
Railroad, Eastern division, bribery. We
spoke of him as Speaker Blaine, just as we
might say that Gen. Dix in 1872 served as
a6iutant to Gen. Brown. Does it follow
i that we mean to declare that that precoci-
Gus gentleman had not only become SOL
| der at the age of fourteen, but even gen.
eral? Go to, Mr.. Blaine. If you had
case, YOU would not be quibbling on point
like that. No more would you be arguing
that because you were not in Congress
when the original bill was passed, you
could not have been subsequently bribed
by the company which that bill created.
Take look at the fac smile OF the entry
in your case elsewhere, reproduced from
the certified copy of the list, and then get
what comfort you may out of the pretence
of your hasty defender here 1.-THE N. 4.
TIRaes] that the Tribune changed Blair to
Blaine. The Speaker tries bis hand again
at the Credit Mobilier business, but We do
not care TO consider the Speaker too Curl
ously. He has come to that point that his
unsupported word cannot be taken against
another mans oath. Cakes Ames' letters
are confessed.

1.-THE death of the Democratic party is a
necessity to the success of constitutional
principles, and the protection of the country
against revival of the doctrines of the Sc
cession school."-The Banner.
Our contemporary has been denouucing
''dead issues" for twelve months past. Be
hold the lire issues on which it would make
the Tennessee campaign hinge. The revi
val of secession, forsooth. Was ever absurdity
SO blatant, as to talk about the danger of
Tennessee seeding from the Union in this
year ofgrace 1872?
We have read carefully all the speeches Of
Hon. Horace Greeley, whose election the
Banner processes to advocate. We find him
speaking of the Union of these States as be-
ing now as fixed and permanent as the solar
system itself We find him saying that if
secession should ever again rear its head in
this land, it will not be in the South.
Again: the Banner says ''the death of the
Democratic party is necessity TO the sue
cess Of constitutional principles" We fear
the bulk of Tennesseeans will hardly agree
with the Banner. The popular impression
in this State is that constitut ional princi-
pies would be better subserved by the death
of the Radical party. What does the Ban
ner say TO this? H~
Mr.. Greeley, so far from wishing the De-
mocracy dead, declares that its Baltimore
| iudorseTnent of tina Cincinnati DlatfOFm is
such an assurance and guarantee of equal
rights and Union sentiment as could not
be secured through any other instrument
tally. And Hon. Chas. Sumner, in his
famous letter endorsing the Liberal move,
takes exactly The same ground in regard to
the action Of the Democracy.
