Truth About Horace Greeley.

Mr.. Greeleys personal participation
in the campaign has been to his signal
credit. During two hundred speeches,
short and long, and for the most part
sudden and impromptu, he uttered no
unwise word. 90 the other hand,
these railway aud balcony uttersnces
demonstrated 10 the American people
their author 8 uncommon nobility OF
mind and heart Mr. Greeley by his
brief candidacy, has made a great in
tellectual and moral impression. This
exhi ibition OF magnificent common sense
in the candidate shows what a rare and
admirable behavior we would get from
him in the Presidential chair. What.
ever happens in November said Mr..
Greeley to few friends the other day,
81 hope it will be said OF me that have
acted my part and done nv duty well. ="
We believe that this tribute will be
universal and spontaneous throughout
the ranks OF the Liberal Republican and
Democratic parties. From The begin
ming OF the canvass until now, nigh its
close, Mr.. Greeley has grown steadily
in the re-pect OF his opponents aud the
esteem OF his friends Golden Age.

rn. s,.utaenuee OF an old Drtty

John Fiske, the Comtean philoso-
pher, who must needs find "positiv-
ism" in the simplest of things simple,
applies his analysis to the "Primeval
Ghost World" in the atlantic Monthly
for November, and in illustrating the
principle of interpreting mytks BY
analogy quotes this amusing paragraph
from Tyler's Primitive Culture :"
Should the myth commentator, be OBJ
eeryes, demand as his property the
nursery Song of Sixpence, his claim
would be easily established. Obviously
the four-and.twenty blsckbirds are the
four-and-twenty hours, and the pie that
holds them is the underlying earth GOV.
cred with the overarching sky. How
true q touch OF nature it is that when
the pie is opeued-that il, when day
bresks-the birds begin 10 sing! The
King is the Sun, and his courting ou,
his money is pouring out the sunshine,
the golden shower OF Darae; the Queen
is tie Moon, and her transparent honey
the moonlight; the Maid is the rose
fugered Dawn, who rises before the
Sun, her master. and hangs out the
clouds, his clothes, across The sky; the
particular blsckbird who 90 tragically
ends the tale BY Swapping of her noss

SHOOTING AFFRAY IN CHARLES

Jealousy the Cause-An Old Grudss

Jealousy the Cause-An Old Grudse.
Yesterday two men, Abe Smith and
Charley Wehrle, a German, who have
had difficulty Of long standing, met
on Capitol street, in front OF the State
House, and without warning Smith
drew q revolver and began to fire at the
other. wehrle turned at the firing Of
the first shot and commenced to run
toward the Kanavha river. and was
pursued by Smith, who discharged five
or SIX shots in the pursuit. At the in
tersection Of State and Capitol streets,
the two separated, Wehrle going down
and Smith up the former at full tilt
Wehrle was atte 1ded by Dr.. Wagner,
who found that two balls had taken
effect in the Germans body, one in the
spinal column, and the other in the
thigh. The ball in the back wss re-
moved, but the other is still in the
mans thigh.
The extent of Wehrle's injuries can
not be definitely ascertaiued at present,
but it ls thought that they are seriou.
at best Sergeant Rand took Smith e
track and followed him to the upper
and hack portion Of the city, when be
found that bis man bad taken to the
hills. As the latter is still q. large, the
matter viii probably rest until his ar,
rest has been effected We understand

Auother Fatal Accident.

A most fearful accident occurred on
the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad, be-
tween the White Sulphur Springs and
the Greenbrier Bridge, on Thursday
the 10th instant, resulting in the imme.
diate destruction OF an Irishman, by
the name of Daniel Delay. The de-
ceased was one of the employees on the
railroad and had gone to work early In
the morning. 1t was his duty to send
off a blast, the hole for which had
been drilled in the rock and the unior-
tunate man had filled it with powder
and affixed the fire. The powder
seemed slow to ignite, and, upon the
supposition that the fire had gone out,
he went to examine the situation. IL 10
said that he was entrested not 10 go, but
he persisted in doing so, and thus met
his death; for, whilst STOPPING over the
hole, the explosion took place, and be
was blown to pieces. One who saw the
BODY informs US that it was terribly
mangled. The entire face. from the
chin to the back OF the head, was torn
off; the brains scattered in every dIrec-
ton, one hand broken. and a finger on
the other hand missing. His SHIRT was
torn from bis body, and his clothes rent
to pieces. The sight must have been
most sickening one. The unfortunate
man leaves wife and six helpless chill
Indcpendent.

The High Church Movement a Fall

The Church Weekly, which has lately
given up the ghost, was the recognized
organ of the High Church 10 New
York. The Express says: The Week
~ was either FIVE hundred years ahead
of the church, or five hundred years be-
hind it, in matters ecclesiastical and
archaeological, we never could tell
which and we doubt whether any Of it's
readers could tell In sentiment and
tone il was almost as Roman
as any Roman Catholic could
be, and yet it proiessed to hold on
TO thirty-nine articles and the Book Of
Common Prayer with a tenacty that
showed at the bottom earnest Protestant
convictions. The attempt to build up
a party within the Episcopal Church, in
this country, upon foundation made up
of such incongruous material as that,
was bold one but al the start, il had
a powerful support-yet, with all that
the demise Of the Weekly must be ac-
cepted as proof that 1t has failed.
High" Churchmen are probably as
high as'eyer-perhaps little higher
but they are not going the lengths to
which the gentlemen who wrote for the
Church Weekly would beckon them.
And that we take to be the philosophy
OF the obituary we are now called to re-
cord.

ENGLAND.

Measures by the English Govern
ment to Suppress the African Slave
Trade.
LONDON, October 22.-Since the re-
cent revelations regarding the African
slave question contained in letters o
Livingstone and Stanley, the question
has been widely agitated throughout
Great Britain, whether it were not pos
sible to put an end to such horrors,
opposed alike to humanity and civiliza-
ton, as are stated to exist in the East,
The recent publication of Livingstone's s
letters has added powerful impetus to
the already strong public feeling in this
direction. Her Majesty's Govern
ment has also had the mat
ter under consideration and the
practicability Of making an effort to
put an end to the infamous slave prac-
tice still prevailing to great extent in
Africa, Arabia and other Eastern coun-
tries has been discussed in the Cabinet.
The result proves favorable to the enter
prise, aud Her Majesty this morning
gave orders for the filth g out of the
war ship Bartle Frere to proceed forth
with to Zanzibar. The commander OF
the expedition has instructions to use
every means In his power to destroy the
Eastern slave trade, and to extend
his operations through the whole East
ern country of Africa and other districts
where the traffic is known to exist. 1t
is believed that the Governments Of
France and Germany influenced by
the example of Great Britain, will as
sist in the enterprise by commissioning
vessels to proceed to the African coast,
and there to unite with the British ves-
sells in operating against the slavers.
Mr.. Stanley,
the Herald Commissioner, was enter
tanned at a dinner by the Geographical
Society yesterday afternoon. A large
number of distinguished gentlemen
were present at the banquet, including
several literary men we'll known in
scientific circles.
The authority for the statement tele-
graphed hence on Saturday that the
Bank of France would remit one hum
dred million francs to the Bank of Eng
land is the official circular of Messrs.
Moteaux & Co., of Paris. Further tel
egrams Of inquiry have been sent to
Paris.
The New Treaty OF Commerce
between Great Britain and France has
now been completed, and will shortly
be submitted for signatures, after which
the usual exchange of ratification will
take place. The articles are liberal on
both sides, and afford every facility for
traffic between the two nations. 1t will
continue in force for a period Of four
years.

GENERAL LANE, who was second on
the Breckenridge Democratic ticket in
1860, has written a letter fsvoring Gree
lev, from which the following extracts
are made:
have not couyersed with a Demo-
crat since left Douglas county that is
not for Greeley, and 80 far as ] can
learn, all the Democrats OF this (Coos)
county will vote the Greeley ticket, a.
also many OF the old line Republicans.
1t is said, by tbcsr who ought to know,
that that ticket viii carry this county by
a majority OF thirty at least. have
had an invitation to speak in Empire
City on the 2lst inst, and though 1t is
not convenient TO do so, will try and
comply with the wishes ofthe friends OF
the Greeley ticket, and contribute what
little | can to its success. 1t is no.
either Greeley or Grant, and in the
choice, in my opinion, no friend Of the
country should hesitate-no, not even a
moment. The reelection OF Grant
would prove q calamity to the country
for many various reasons that neither
have time nor space to give. Whilst
on the other hand the election Of Gree
lev would do more to restore to the
States their essential rights, to bring
about a good feeling between the sec
tions. and at the same time to give 70
the country an honest and faithful Ad-
ministration than the election OF any
other man in the UDion. His heart is
right he is honest, and would be cup
ported in his efforts. Owing TO the
complexion OF the Senate, and probably
Of the House also, g Democrat would
not be so well sustained, however able,
honest, and faithful he may be.
Respectfully.
