AMERICAN HoRsEs ron JAPAN.-our read
ers have doubtless noticed two large bay
horses driven by Mr.. s. 8. Vaughn, OF this city,
about our streets during the past year. Every
body admired them, aud they were regarded
As the finest pair OF matched horses In the
West Saturday Mr.. A. D. Uapron, the pur-
chasing agent Of tho Japanese government,
having heard OF them, came 10 the city, and
after looking them over, Immediately closed
q bargain for them. He said he purchased
them Tor the Immediate use Of the Emperor
Of Japan, and that they were the finest pair
Of horses he had seen. The common mustang
horse Is the kind commonly used In Japan,
and the agent thinks this pair will create a
good deal OF admiration In Japan, aud show
them what kind Of an animal horse can be
made by cultivation. The money was paid
for the horses, and they are 10 DO shipped for
San Francisco as soon a. ordered by the agent,
Mr.. Vaughn In the meantime receiving a
handsome price for taking care OF them until
they are ordered. Mr.. Vaughn called one of
then" Membrlno, "and tho other" Champiou. I"
The former was sired by"Membrino Chief"
and will be seven years OF age this spring
The latter was sired by Champion" aud will
be sir years old this spring. Both of them
are sixteen and half hands high, aud are az
perfectly matched as any two horses we ever

Greeley and Brown. This deci.
sion is embraced in the following
resolution which was adopted by
a large majority

of Liberal Republicans held at
Cincinnati has presented to the
country the names of Horace
Greeley and B. Gratz Brown, as
candidates for President and Vice
President, pledged to maintain
and enforce the doctrins above
enunciated, and having invited
the cooperation of all patriotic
citizens in their support, we deem
it but the part of patriotic duty
to declare that, in the contest well
nigh upon us, said nominees de-
serve the support of every patriot
in the land, as against a ticket
representing the principles, poll.
cy, and practices of tile present
Federal Administration and
while re.affirming our purpose and
desire to preserve the intregrity
Of the Democratic party, we new.
ertheless declare in our behalf,
and in behalf of the people we
represent, that with the lights be-
fore Us, the presentation of candi.
dates for the Presidency and Vice.

centest by the Democratic party
Of the nation would be unwise,

a prominent candidate before the
Legislature for the United States

that he had agreed to Sign
Mr.. Davis bond. 2 They went .tu
him and protested against it. They
told him that they had made a
count, and that he would be elect.

one of the owners of the Tribune,

would lose thousands of subscri.

have written q history of the war,
one volume you have out, and

Your second volume is nearly out,
