NASHVILLE.
The Germans in COuneil-The Clncin-
natl Ticket Endorsed.
Voorhees, Last Speech Very Generally
Condemned by Democrats.

NASHVILLE, May 26.-The Germans
of Nashville held a meeting last night,
c. G. Giers presiding, p. r. Albert and
August Nickel, secretaries. Speeches
were made in favor of Greeley and
Brown and the Liberal Republican
movement, by ]. B. Jeup, editor Of the
Enaigrd1lt, General Trauernicht, A.
Hitzfeld, of Memphis, and others.
Resolutions were adopted renouncing
all former party allegiance and assum-
ing position of neutrality until a new
party may be formed based upon honest
principles and true Repubhcanism; in
dorsing the platform of the Cincinnati
Convention, and pledging their votes to
Greeley and Brown; congratulating the
country upon the passage of a general
amnesty law as one of the good effects
of the Cincinnati Convention; thanking
Mr.. Greeley for bis course during the
Franeo-GeTman war; declaring that they
will hereafter support no man for Office,
Of any kind, merely because he is a party
candidate, but will vote for the best and
most honest, and in conclusion, demand
for the Germans a propOrtionate share of
the Republics offices. The meeting was
large and enthusiastic.
Voorhees, Terre-Haute speech, pub
lished this morning, is universally con-
demned by all Democrats and other
supporters of Greeley. 1t pleases only
Grants friends. The Union and Amer
icdn democratic organ regards it as
containing all that can be said against
Greeley, and says his friends must rec
ognize that influences are at work
against the adoption of him at Balti-
more. To meet these Influences and
secure the desired consummation, all
true friends of the Cincinnati nOmina-
tions, it says, should close ranks, ignore
petty quibbling and put their shoulders
together to DO the work before them.

CROPS.

The locusts have appeared in ROane
county.
The wheat crop in Lincoln county is
reported very promising.
The crops of Wilson county, Tennes-
see have been immensely benefited by
a heavy rain.
The wheat crop around Chattanooga,
which was nearly burned up by the
drouth, was freshened materially by a
good rain the other day.
The Cleveland (Tennessee) Banner
says the wheat crop in Polk county
looks tOlerahly well. Corn looks well,
but the oats and hay crops are about
gone up for want of rain.
The Kingston East TeRnesseedn OF
May 23d says: "Some of our farmers
are getting ready to harvest their wheat
| crop next week. The prospect for fine
yield of this grain is very hattering."
Locusts have made their appearance
in large numbers in Bluff Mountains,
! in BlOunt and Sewer counties, Tennes-
see, and wild turkeys are corresponding
ly numerous, and get very fat feeding
on them.
The Nashville, Tennessee, Union
and american complains about the
drouth, and gives philosophical article
on the rain prospects, giving very good
reasons why the people should prepare
for dry times, suggesting reservoirs for
stock and irrigation.
Last night, the twenty-first, says the
Forest Register, we had a fall of rain
two and a half inches, preceded for the
last ten days by slight showers. Crop
prospects are favorable. In some low
and wet lands planting was delayed till
the drOuth set in, and no stand was OBJ
tanned. These ought Immediately to be
crossed and planted in corn.
The Cleveland, Tennessee, Banner,
OF May oath, says: 1.-The Banner fami-
ly, for a week past, have been feasting
upon new Irish potatoes, as large as
gOose-eggs, raised by the old man Of the
shebang. IfHOrace Greeley knew what
we know about gardening in addition to
what he knows about farming he
would be entirely too smart to run for
President" 81
The Oxford (Nfississippi) Falcon says:
"The rains last week came in good time,
and were great relief to the farmers,
and consequently they are more cheer
ful. Cotton is looking well, but is nearly
or quite two weeks later than last year,
and unless the weather is unusually fa-
vorable during the summer and fall, the
yield viii not be greater than that of last
year. Corn is doing well, and the pro-
duction is likely TO equal that of the
previous year. But little wheat was
planted in the county, and the people
wiz, as usual, rely upon the Northwest
for supply" fHC|

THE BAILING OF MR.. DAVIS.
What Mr.. Charles O'COnOr and Mr..
George Shea have TO Say about il.
The sold Philosopher did not Act
Officially, but from the Purest
Motives.

From The New York World.
STATEMENT or CHARLES OiCONoR,
NEW YORK, May Il, 1871
MY DEAR SIR: From his capture until
the hour within which he was bailed,
Mr.. Jefferson Davis was in military
custody. He was then confined as a
prisoner of war for about two years.
From the very commencement of this
term his counsel directed their efforts
TO procuring his delivery into civil
custody, to the end that he might have
his trial at once or obtain liberation
upon bail until the government should
think fit to bring on the trial. The
council for Mr.. Davis, having first
solicited and obtained the consent of
Mr.. Greeley, Mr.. Gerrit Smith, and
Commodore Vanderbilt, offered to give
bail in any sum that might be required,
and TO procure those three gentlemen to
unite in the bail-bond. This offer was
never formally accepted; but, under
the belief that it was satisfactory, the
counsel of Mr.. Davis obtained writ of
hdbeds corpus, and brought Mr.. Davis
before the court at Richmond. Mr.
Evarts attended by appointment, and,
on the part of the government, he ac-
quiesced IN bailing Mr.. Davis in one
hundred thousand dollars. Conceiving
himself bound so to do, the counsel of
Mr.. Davis requested the attendance of
the gentlemen in question. Commodore
Vanderbilt's attorney acted for him; the
other two gentlemen appeared and
signed the bond in person. They had
every reason to understand and believe
that their attendance was absolutely
necessary TO the release of Mr.. Davis.
The counsel Of Mr.. Davis supposed it to
be so, and he has now no reason to
think otherwise. / am not aware of
any officiousness on the part of Mr..
Greeley in this business, and never sup
posed that he did anything, beyond
what he considered essential to the
Liberation of Mr.. Davis. 1 am, dear sir,
yours truly, CH. OCoNoR.

A Call for a Meeting of the Freetraders

Steinway Hall, in this city, on the thir-
tieth instant, at which w. G. Bryant
will preside, and addresses will be deliv-
cred by d. A. Wells, Edward Atkinson,
and others. The call recites that con-
ference by the Cincinnati Convention on
tariff reform in the Congressional dis
tricts was the accession of the issue, and
has absolved the freetraders from any
obligations to support the nominees of
that convention. 1t gives to them the
liberty to support any other ticket. The
call looks directly to organization for the
accomplishment of tariff reform in the
coming Presidential election.

Destructive storm-rwO Negroes killed

ATLANTA, GA, May pa very Sc
we're and destructive storm, or rather
tornado, passed over some portions of
Central Georgia on Saturday afternoon
last. At Perry, Houston county, a
church was blown down, in which one
negro was killed and several others
wounded by the falling timbers. In
view of the fact that picnic orreligious
meeting was being held in the church at
the time, it is wonderful that large
number were not killed outright. At
Marshallville, Macon county, the blow
was also very heavy, and there another
negro was killed by falling tree. The
storm swept from west to east, and car
ried away nearly everything in its path.

SOME MORE LIGHT ON THE SUBJECT.
From the New York Tribune.
NEW YORK. May Il, 1872.
DEAR SIR: The manner in which Mr.
Greeley become connected as surety on
the bond given in the case of the United
States of America VS.. Jefferson Davis
is simply this:
Despairing of causing Mr.. Davis to
be manumitted from military imprison-
ment by direct means, or having him
assured of a speedy trial before a civil
tribunal, his liberation was a subject
for frequent consideration between Mr..
Greeley and myself chiefly; but l had
similar conferences with other gentle
men of like disposition, including Gov
ernor John A. Andrew, of Massachu-
sets, now deceased. When it was last
thought prudent by the counsel of Mr..
Davis to apply for the writ of hd6eas
corpus in his behalf, the personality of
the proposed bail was obviously of con-
trolling importance in the view then ap-
pretended of the circumstances likely to
influence its success, an opinion the
propriety of which has since disclosed
itself. | asked Mr.. Greeley, as early as
the spring of 1866, to suggest the names
of some Northern gentlemen, eonspieu-
Gus as UniOnistS, who would be inclined
to regard such a request faYOrably, and
whose public character would YOuch that
the proceeding on their part was kindly
meant and directed by a spirit of good
will and magnanimity; and / urged
upon him that had reason to believe
his own name might become desirable to
effect that object. He mentioned the
names of two eminent Unionists, and
after reflection said to me, ''If you
should find that my name is necessary,
you may use it, / accepted it as a
trust; as such it was used when it be-
came absolutely necessary. Mr.. Gree
ley's name was afterward found TO be
essential to insure the probability of Sc
curing the liberation of Mr.. Davis, and
then the leading counsel for the defense
telegraphed TO Mr.. Greeley. 1t was in
compliance with that solicitation and in
fulfillment of his conditional promise,
that he came ultimately to Richmond,
and subscribed the bail-bOnd in open
court, bringing upon himself, but not
entirely unforeseen, a flood of ungener-
Gus abuse, to which certainly no friend,
and l am sure none of the counsel, would
have recklessly or unnecessarily exposed
him. A place on that bail-band was not
sought by Horace Greeley; but he was
willing to allow the burden to be put on
his shoulders, if itwere necessary, to ac-
cOmplish what he and many esteemed
a private and national benefaction.
Yours, faithfully, GEORGE SHEA.
