OR NO GREELEY THAT Is THE
nIrESTInN

The present political situation ha
afforded amagnificcnt opportunity fo
the pencil of the satirician for 81,
months past. The Anti-Grant sup
portcrs have been in search of IN,
man to beat Grant On the first o
May they assembled with lanterns n
Cincinnati, and as they thought founC
him in Horace Greeley but month,
trial has convinced a large number o
them that they have made a mistake
Since the age of Diogenes, who
searched Greece in daylight with
lighted lanterns TO find an honest
man, there has been no such cxhibi
ton of a torch light procession in full
day light until this one, to discover a
man who could beat Ulysses $.
Grant.
Carl ShurZ, Belmont, Alex Ste
phens and Dan Voorhees, are all out
with lanterns hunting for the man.
1t is well said that there is moth
ing new under the sun. In 1865 the
Rebels were troubled in the same way.
They lit their lanterns to hunt for the
man who could beat General Grant,
and save the rebellion. They tried
Pcmberton, johnson, Beaurcgarde
and Lee, but none of them would do.
At present, hcrculcan efforts are be-
ing made to prevent Grceley's en-
dOrscment at Baltimore 1t is proba-
blv too late, but whether or not. it is
of no consequence to the Republican
party TO tho surprise of the Dem
ocratic managers, it is found that the
Germans are in dead earnest arraved
against Horace Greeley, and that no
coaxing and no threats can induce
them to support a man so obnoxious
to their political and social IDEAS
There is great dissatisfaction in the
rank and file of the party with his
endorsement, and it is suddenly dis
covered that Horace Greeley, instead
of being the strongest candidate, is
the weakest, by far
ANY one can see, for the evidence
is abundant and conclusive, that the
Republican organization remains in
tact /; and that the Greeley nomina-
ton has only demoralized the Democ-
racv. While there are differences to
he overcome, while it is never safe 10
allow the campaign to drift, and while
great efforts and exertions are un-
doubtcdly necessary to rally the Re
publicans to the polls, the utmost con-
iidcnce is felt by our leading men that
Grants triumph in November is sure.
GREELEY AND THE KU KLUX
\ letter has been received here from
one of those dark rebel centers sup
posed to be as much out of the reach
Of the light that it is safe to indicate
something Of their true feelings. The
writer is evidently a careful and dis
eliminating observer, and he finds in
disputable evidence that the Rebel
Democrats expect to accomplish by
the election of Greeley all they failed
to do BY the war In these out of
the way centers they freely discuss
the forcing of the colorcd people to
east their vote fer the Rebel ticket at
the pistols mouth; and the colorcd
men are very much alarmed.
ANDY JoHNsoN's VIEWS.
1t is disclosed here, that the Dem
ocrats and Greeley men, anxious to
have Andrew Johnson's opinion and
Judgment on the situation, while he
was here, sought various opportuni-
ties to counsel with him. After it
was over, he is reported to have said
to friend: This little affair, the
Grant administration, ought to he got
out of here, but the elements of op-
position are not organized. Indeed,
they can not agree, and their organi-
zation is out of the question, while
the Republicans are united, organized
and determined on victory" Consid-
cring Mr.. Johnson's bitter personal
hatred for General Grant, this inform
alton may afford very little consola-
tion to those who sought his advice.
EDUCATIONAL INTERESTS.
The usefulness of the Bureau of
education is indicated in many ways.
ono of which is BY letters from foreign
Ministers.
4 letter has been received from our
minister TO Brazil, acknowledging the
receipt of the report of the Bureau in
which he saws: II do not doubt that,
through the influence of these vol
umcs, new influence will be given
10 general and common school educa-
tion in Brazil 1T is very agreeable
to know that they look to the United
States for Il model in educational sue
cess"
DEMOCRATIC ACTIVITY.
The Democratic Committees are busy
night and day sending off documents
to convince the public judgment, but
so far with very little evidence Of sue
cess.
INTERVIEWING THE PRESIDENT
Gen. Bard, editor of the ChofidRO0-
ga Herald Tenn. was at the White
House yesterday with a delegation
Tennessee holding conference with
Gen. Grant on the subject of the COM
ing campaign in that State The in
tcrview was interesting and entirely,
satisfactory
LEvELLING MONARCHY TO REPuBLI-
Queen Victoria gracefully accorded
an interview and visit from Miss
Nellie Grant as an American girl"
which was naively suggested in let
ter pcnned by Miss Grant to the
Queen in which she requested to APP
pear ''as my simple and very simple
self" The Queen says: | shall find
it pleasant to forget that am Queen
in receiving you tomorrow afternoon
at our palace at Windsor"
