Mr. Gerrt Smith, and his subsequent report
70 the President confirming Mr. Greeley's
views). was that Col. Whitley of the Uni
ted States Secret Servive was detailed
70 make an official examination. Ills
report, of which we print synopsis
to-day, exactly justifies the wisdom OF Mr.
Greeleys observations and conclusions. The
country will now be interested to see II the

THE yEST VIRGINIA ELECTION.

The State of West Virginia holds an
election on Thursday the 22d inst, at when
a Governor, three Representatives IN Con
gress. Legislature, &c, are to be chosen her
electors are required, moreover, to approve OF
reject new Constitution, as to the merits OF
demerits of which they are, we trust, better
ouolifed to decide without our advice than
we are to advise them. But there is also sub
mitted for their approval or rejection pro-
posal that Blacks shall be permitted or Tor
hidden TO hold Office, and ON tins we ask oi
them a patient hearing ,
OF its origin and impulse we know little !;
its nature and necessary effects are obvious
and unmistakable. Should a majority OF tho
VOTERS ratify the exclusion of COlored men
from office. their decision will be trumpeted
and naraded, from one end of the country to
the other, as proof positive that the concur
romeo of the late Democratic National Con-
vcntion in the Cincinnati Platform is fraud
and n sham-that n Liberal triumph in No
vember will insure the virtual if not legal
Acknowledgement Of the Blacks and their eX-
clusion from all civil trusts. 1t Will drive
thousands of Liberals into a reluctant support
of Grant and steel the minds of the COlOred
race against any anu dll dpptdio III po""ii VI
the Liberal cause. There is not thieving
carpet-bagger in all the South who will not hail
such vote as insuring him long career OF
impunity and triumph in rapacity and rob
berry.
There ia not even the sorriest excuse for
this attempt at prescription. The Blacks OF
West Virginia are but a handful, who have
had no offices under Republican ascendancy
and stand no chance of getting any, no mat
ter what party may rule. TO exact constitu-
tional barrier to their holding Office is on
par in wisdom with enacting that our Citys
public paupers shall not monopolize all the
best rooms in the Fifth Avenue Hotel. Unhap-
PLY, the eminent stupidity and malignity OF a
project do not always insure its rejection; 30
we entreat every West Virginian who desires
the triumph next November of the Liberal
cause and candidates to take care that this
baleful contrivance for reestablishlng the
dominion of Hate and Wrong at the South be
buried so deep that the hand of resurrection
can reach it nevermore.

We advise people not to be too cheerful over the
fact that the world has not beenknocked into smith
Greens on the appointed day. 1t is impossible to say
what may happen before the week is out Comets
are eccentric Astronomers are fallible. The comet
may have stopped somewhere to wood and water
When it was first observed it was 3,OOOOOOOoo miles
from the earth. Its rate of travel is 10 miles
second Now, when we come 10 cypher from numer-
ical data like these it is easy to make mistake OF
few billions of miles or sO The comet may have
been due the 18th, and failed to keep his appoint
ment as human beings have been known, once or
twice to fail todo Far be it from to wish toawaken
en- in the bosoms of our readers superiuouS alarms
All we say is-it may come yet The thing never has
been fixed exactly in point of time. Bockh SAID 1t

Plantamour at 6 h. go III. p. ma difference OF h.

as to hours why not as to days, and why not as to

being headed by Mr.. Clapp the Congressional
Printer and carried to all the persons in the office

mentD This means, if it means anything, that
offce-holders are bound to support those who gave
them places Just as in the high old Tory theory
every tenant ought to vote for his landlord. But
suppose Mr.. Clapp offce-holder believes that tho
country will be better served by new man; Is he
still bound to support those who have contributed
to his advancementp Your style of politics Is
nothing but the bread and butter theory.
New-York tribune., 1872-08-14

There has been another division in Louisi-
ana politics. This time it is secession from
the Pinchback Grant Republican, Organza-
ton by the Greeley Republicans which has
taken place. There were 1913 in the Pinch
back Convention who opposed combination
with the Liberals and 81 who favored it. The
failure of the consolidation scheme split the
Convention, Gen. II. j. Campbell, Chairman
of the Republican State Committee and Presi-
dent Of the Convention, going out with the
minority. The declaration of Mr.. Pinchback
that Grant only could help preserve Republi-
cauism in Louisiana must be accepted as the
very refinement of simplicity. And this re-
markable outgiving of the cOnfidins Pinch
back is a natural enough overture to his own
nomination for Governor. This gentleman
will of course, be able to preserve Repub
lcanism in Louisiana-with President Grants
assistance. But he will hardly be able to do
it as Governor of the State.
