Mr.. Atkinson Rejects Greeley.

Mr.. Edward Atkinson, of Massachu-
sets, who took promineI5 part III the
Cincinnati movement, writes letter to
the SpriI gfeld Republican to correct a
misapprehension in reference to his
position. He says:
{" note that you infer from my let
ter to Mr. w. S. Robinson that | find
good reason for consolation in the re-
suit of the Cincinnati Convention. Lest
| should be supposed to intend to sup
port this nomination [ desire to say
that if | have been a humble candle of
the Lord in promoting the nomination
of Horace Greeley for President | de.
sire to atone for my want Of sagacity
and astuteness by opposing his election
in every possible way, and that the
only consolation [ intended for my
self and my associates was so to
exert what little power We may as to
secure a Congress that would compel
the general reforms which we cannot
believe are promised by the nominees
OF the Convention. The DIS
appointment is widespread and very
deep that Charles Francis Adams is
not the declared, as he was the true
candidate of the Cincinnati Conven-
ton, and | hope that measures may be
taken speedily for a mass meeting at
the capital of every state on the same

Death of GentOn.

A correspondent of the London Tele-
graph gives an account of the shooting
of Genton, the Communist, who
commanded the firing party when Arch
bishop Darboy and the rest of the host
ages were so foully murdered:
1.-THE execution took place on the
plain ut Satory, on the morning of April
30. On arriving at the place Genton
jumped out of the carriage with great
alacrity, being much quicker in his
movements than eithersthe clergyman
or the gems d'arme, who accompanied
him. With firm step and erect bear
ing he walked at once to the spot
where he was to stand for the last time
in this world He took up his position
and looked around him with much of
that vanity which characteristics what
every Frenchman does in public. He
was small, misunderstanding man.
plainly dressed it an overcoat and dark
trousers. His countenance was by no
means bad, although at times it had
an expression which was not pleasant
"When the greBier or registrar of
the court martial had read in hurried
voice the sentence by which Genton
was condemned to death, non-com.
missioned officer approached him to
bandage his eyes But he motioned
the man away, and said he would like
to give the word of command to fire.
OF this request no notice was taken,
but at motion from The sword of the
sergeant major commanding the firing
party, the latter stepped to within
about fifteen yards OF the prisoner.
Just at this timo-when the signal was
given for the men to level their rifles
Genton raised the cry of 'Vive la Com
mune, throwing up his hat straight
into the air at the same time. Again
he uttered III louder voice the same
cry third time he attempted it, but
had only time to utter the first word
when the signal was given, a rafting
discharge was heard, and Genton fell
in a confused heap, and all was over
his last words forming curious con.
trast with the denial he had throughout
his trial given to anything like partici-
patton IN the work that dlsgraced Paris
a year ago"

Almost Incredible.

When Jacob courted Mary Jana,
lass without fault he thought h1,
And ev'ry evening, fair or rain,
Alfred in all his best he sought her.
She's honest true and kind, said he,
Az she is pretty 10 her features;
And if she'll only marry mo,
Wen be the happiest Of creatures.
His parents, hearing how he felt,
And noticing his eager furry
Said Son, be cautious. She wont melt
Don't be in such precious hurry.
Her family are not renowned
For being quite as meek as Moses,
And some who married in II found
No end Of thorns among their roses
am try her temper Jacob cried,
s.In all the ways by spite invented;s
But ere dozen tricks he'd tried,
His own good nature sore repented.
The more he teased- to make her mad,
Instead of vixen spunk revealing,
She only seemed az meekly sad
As comes Of wounded tender feeling
No longer seeing room to doubt
!. That she was mild beyond expression.
Our Jacob brought the-question out,
And she surrendered at discretion.
In proper course the wedding came,
With orange blooms and tears and laughter;
bridal tour to crown the same,
And pretty cottage home thereaftes.
But all, alas, for Jacobs peace
Ere yet the honeymoon was over,
His Mary's temper broke the lease
He thought he had on life In clover.
From being gentle as of old,
And shedding tears when he'd offend hN
She turned into a perfect scold,
AS ugly as the Witch of Endorl
Astounded at the fearful change,
And wond'ring how he had been blinded,
The hapless man could not arrange
The questions answer as he minded
ill., at her fathers house, one day,
He put the qnery, quite emphatic
" How did you take me in, that way7'
She said: I'm show you in the attic"
And then they climbed the garnet stair,
TIL, standing under beams unnumbered,
The lady showed, with hooking air,
A central post, with braces numbered.
"You see its nearly worn in twain,
Or seems to be, with weight its carried
But Nth my teeth gnawed the grain,

whenever you would tease me most,
And then had gone, and left me beaming,

To keep myself from raging screamingi

Said Jacob: "That, my dear, was kind:
But don't wish some ether had you !"

Horace Greeley's Opinion of General
Grant.

Extract from speech of Horace Gree
ley, made Thursday night, Jan. 5, 1871,
at the reorganization of the republican
general committee of the State and
county, as published in the New York
Tribune:
As to the administration of General
Grant, | recognize no one as n republi-

ious, energetic and successful efforts to
procure the ratification of the fifteenth
amendment. that keystone of our polt
ical arch, whereby the fruits of our
great triumph over rebellion and slav-
cry are assured and perpetuated.
That the President has made some
mistakes in appointments is obvious
it would be strange indeed, if one 60
inexperienced in the conduct of politi-
cal affairs had wholly escaped them.
Whatever blame may Justly attach TO
this falls rightfully ON us, who took him
from the head of the army and made
him our civil chief magistrate. fully

4 Confession from England.

The London Spectator admits that
the reluctance of Euglshmen to inter
fere on the Continent has of late years
greatly increased, and with it the habit
of inattention to the details of Cont
mental politics and the same journal
adds that the British Government sis
now perhaps the worst informed in Eu-
rope, really knows less than the press
of what is going on, and is not in the
least ashamed to admit that such is the
case. In 1870 the Foreign Office had
no idea of approaching war up to the
day when war was declared; Parlia-
ment had not one great debate on the
Franco-Gelman war, and has never
spoken out its mind on foreign crisis
freely and intelhgibly since the Treaty
of Paris All of which is true In
dictment.
But the Spectator might have ex
tended its criticism. Fit had reminded
the English people that their army was
put to shame in the Crimean war by the
superior discipline and management of
the French force, that in every armed
encounter since that period the British
flag has failed to sustain its ancient re-
nown. and that in every reimbursement
Of European affairs, England plays a
subordinate part, it would not have
been guilty OF exaggeration. And If to
all be added the manifold instances of
stupid laundering, ending (for the
present. with the rejection of the Treaty
OF Washington, the record becomes
appalling.
1t is not a matter for wonder that the
satirists multiply IN England-there is
so much for them to criticise and con,
denim.
