Some very sensible and frank suggestions
are made to the National Banks, in reference
to the Presidential contest, in an article from
The st. Louis Republican, which is reproduced
on our second page. We deprecate anything
like union of these corporate and favored
money interests against the Cincinnati ticket,
but if there should be such a union it will be
the surest means of consolidating popular
sympathy on the other side.

enough collected to mako him load, he
would put II in bag, and placing IL upon
bis shoulders start for b. After he had
disposed of his herbs, he would go 10 the
book bndery and buy old books aud pa
pers to bring home. Many In Brattloboro
were familiar with his peculiarities. 1
have often heard him speak of trading with
Mr. Edwards and Mr.. Thorn. In 1870 his
health began 10 fail, and he gave up gath
ering herbs, and in fact all manual labor.
He was always troubled with the asthma.
/ have heard him remark that he had not
been TO bed to lie over two hours for thirty
years. lie had an arm chair which he sat
in day and night. and when he was at home
ho kept fire all of the time. day and night,
summer and winter. Four days before his
death he suddenly lost the use of his limbs.
His friends, becoming alarmed, wished to
call in physician, but he would not con-
sent. lie said that doctor could do him
no good. lie would not even be moved to
n bed, because he thought he should be
much easier where he was. At about half
past nine o'clock in the evening of Oct.
18th, 1879, he quietly broathed his last.
Sitting in his chair, his soul quietly took
its departure from its tenement of clay,
aud passed into the hands of "God who
gave it," His remains were taken TO STRAIT
ton and inferred by the side of his wife.

THE GREAT DIAMOND SwISDLE.--The
whole story of this great fraud is contained
in the San Francisco papers. 1t proves to
be one of the greatest frauds ever attempt
ed in this country. One Arnold, "a man
with dyed whiskers and blue eyes," and
another individual named Slack, started
the thing in San Francisco last summer,
and induced many men OF capital to be-
lieve their story of the existence of untold
wealth in their "discovery" in Colorado.
Their specimens stood the test, a company
with a capital of slO,00O,00O was formed,
the utmost secrecy was kept in regard to
the locality of the mines, and the whole
thing was managed with an excusiveness
which was very delusive. But one day in
September two old Californians tracked a
small party 10 the field, and last month
they went there again and took away few
diamonds which they managed to find.
The stones were taken 10 San Francisco
and found to resemble African diamonds
of not very good quality. The stockholders
had already had their suspicious aroused
by report that two Americans, several
months ago, had bought a large quantity
of rough diamonds and other gems in Lon
don /; and when these two disclosures were
put together and when it was remembered
that all the precious stones had been taken
from one spot, pointed out by Arnold and
Slack, the excitement ragged high, and an
investigation was at once begun. Mr.
Clarence King, the well-known geologist
and small party made an examination
the result of which was the certain discov-
cry that nature had never put the precious
stones where they had been found, but, in
the words of Mr.. King, THAT some design
ing hand had sailed them with deliberate
fraudulent intent" The exposure of the
swindle was so long coming about that
Messrs. Arnold and Slack had ample time
to get out of the way before the thunder
clap came and of course did so. The Cali.
fornia men who put their money into the
concern lost about $1,000, 900, and Samuel
Barlow, George b. Mcclellan and others o.
New York, were victimized TO the exten
of about 100000.

D.s.V.f O.v HORACE GRBBLBI..

Charles A. Dana in a recent number of
the New York Sun, publishes an extraor-
binary editorial on Mr.. Greeley. 1t must
be borne in mind that Mr.. Dana was for
long time associated with Mr.. Greeley as
one of the editors OF the Tribune. Mr.
Dana passed with his chief through all the
phases of doctrine and issues alluded to in
the Sun editorial.
Mr.. Dana had better opportunities ofknow
ing Mr.. Greeley than almost any other
man, and the sagacions and all-observant
assistant doubtless employed much of his
time in trying to unravel the strange enig-
ma of the Greeley brain and purposes. 1t
must also be remembered that Mr.. Dana
was the originator of the Greeley nomina-
ton for the Presidency, and was the most
able and vigilent editor connected with
that phase of Republican enterprise and
ambition.
Mr.. Dana denies that Mr. Greeley was
philanthropist, and asserts that Mr.. Greeley
always hooted the idea of his being one.
The basis of all Mr.. Greeleys philanthropy
was, according TO Mr.. Dana, the promotion
Of the Tribune and the concentration of
free labor against slave labor.
He says Mr.. Greeley was an abolitionist,
not because he liked the negro, for he dis
liked him. but that he felt that men like
himself-self made-could never reach po-
sition rs long as the so-called aristocracy
OF the South controlled public affairs. In
other words, Mr.. Greeley was determined
to break down slavery at all cost, in order
TO preponderate the North in the councils

LIVINdsToSE's AFRICA-A TIMELY
NoLUME.-Messrs. Hubbard Brothers, OF
Philadelphia, have published volume, to
be sold only by subscription, which con-
tans in compact 70 rm and most reason
able rate, the whole history Of Livingstone's
discoveries and adventures in Africa. The
volume is well illustrated, and contains
the whole of Livingstone's accounts of his
expeditions, only the scientific details of
observations being omitted, while all that
is of interest or value concerning the coun-
try, its physical geography, its people, its
products, its mineral wealth, etc., etc., is
retained. Besides this, the volume is COM
pletel by an account of Livingstone's last
expedition, the history ofhis reported death,
the accounts OF the government expeditions
sent in search of him, and full details of
the Herald-Stanley search, which proved
so successful. The letters from Livingstone,
brought home by Stanley, are also given /;
and with them the great explorer tells, In
the charming simplicity of style which has
made him so popular, the details of the
difficulties he encountered, how he over
came them until they became too great for
even his indomitable will, and what he
purposes to do before his final return to
| England. We arc certain that all of our
readers who are interested in Africa, the
last portion of the unknown world, will be
gratified with our calling their attention to
this volume, and will lose no time to Sc
cure a copy. Mrs. Wentwoth, agent for
Brattleboro, and vicinity, is now in town.

which action is correct, as this is the bust
ness of Alabama only, and not of the Unit

best be removed by quietly ignoring the
whole subject. The South will work out
| its own salvation much more rapidly and
| satisfactorily if attention Is given TO sub
| jccts of national interest and progress in
| which il will be interested than by harping
| and frettlng about reconciliation. The qui-
ct appointment of Mr.. Orr as minister to
Russia is the practical commiseration which
| the South needs and if the finishing up OF
| the work of reconstruction and reconcilia-
tion is let in the hands of the President,
| without any interference on the part OF
| Congress, the press or the people, ii will
come to Stay.'

Frederick Policy, an esteemed citizen
died on tho morning Of the 18th inst, after
months of distressing illness. Towards
the close of his life he was brought to view
death in very attractive light The Saw
Jour was very near and precious TO him,
and he looked with joy TO the future. His
wife and those Of his children who survive
him, have the deep sympathy Of many in
this community, including the Universal
ist fraternity and society of which he was
a valuable helper. Two noble sons pre-
coded him to the bright and happy future,
who gave their lives for liberty and their
country in the late war. Another son, e.
qually worthy, escaped the perls of that
contest. So our townsman whose death we
here have recorded, and his excellent sur
viving companion, freely contributed three
Of their four sons to the life OF the nation.
Let us not cease to give them the honor
justly their due. NJ.
