GolTG roR GREELEY.-A letter has been
written by Mr.. w. N Saunders, Il prominent
colored citizen and custom-house officer OF
Baltimore, 10 Hon, Henry Sockbridge, chair
man OF the Baltimore delegation to the late
republican convention, returning thanks for
the honor conferred by placing his name on
the Grant electoral ticket for Maryland, and
declining the same.
In conclusion he says: 81 shall, in my hum
Bile sphere, advocate the obliteration of Ole
party lines and the snslenance of a new party,
SO composed as TO give promise of successfully
mastering the problems of the present ana hi-
ture, under the leadership of that grand old
veteran of equal rights, Horace Greeley, whose
record and whose whole life is a sufficient
guarantee that the rights of all men will be
protected under his administration. p

Gov. Vance Last.

Governor Vance addressed large and en-
thusiasiic assembly at Wilson, N. G., n few
days since. lie took strong ground for Gree
ley MS the best means of securing peace. lie
said TINT the South, by supporting lifelong
opponent Of their section and its policy would
convince the North Of their earnest desire to
forget the bitterness Of the past and that the
Northern Republicans, by Offering Greeley and
Brown on so liberal n platform as that adopt
ed at Cincinnati had convinced the South that
Il large body Of their former enemies were de-
sirous Of shaking hands with them.
The Governor continued, that for these rea-
sons the South would support Greeley cheer
fully, notwithstanding the many objections TO
him. in the hope Of inanguraiiug an era OF
better feeling in the land, and of starting to
restore the Government to a constitutional adj
ministration. lie hoped there would be una
nimty at Baltimore and was sure North Car
DINA would give Greeley and Brown n large
majority, if endorsed there by the Democrats,
The Governor illustrated his position by a
humorous story ofan old preacher, into whose
hymn-hook some mischievous boy had pasted
the old song:

A REMARKABLE POISONING CASE.

A RICH SALOoN-KEEPER's BODY ExHUMED
Two kARs AFTER DEATH AND FOUND
SATURATED WITH ARsENIC-ARREsr OF
THE ALLE0ED MURDERER.
A very curious poisoning case was brought
to light yesterdayin the COrOner's Office. the
facts Of which were kept secret until the alleg-
ed murderer was arrested. Frederick SeiK-
fried. u harness maker. living In Third ave-
nue., between One hundred and twenty eighth
and Ons.hundred.a and-twenty ninth streets, al
leges that his father, the late Frederick Joseph
Seigfried, who died on August 70. 1869, at No.
263 East Houston street, was poisoned by
Frederick Heggi and ROsanna Heggi, his wife.
He states under oath that On May l, 1859, his
father kept lager beer saloon at NO. 119 First
avenue, and employed Caroline Miller as
h0usekeeper; that Heggi frequently had long
and exciting conversations with his father
that his father opened saloon at no llO
Ridge street, on July, IL, and three weeks af-
terWards, ~ the depOnent h informed by Car
Oline Miller, Heggt took him away and return-
I'd in few days aud carried OH all the furni-
ture in the house except what was In the bar.
singed by Ar. Seigfried; that the depOnent,
not being able to find his father, met on Au.
gust 10, 1859, John Kalbfeli, Of Harlem, who
Informed him that his father was dead.
Deputy Coroner Marsh made an examina-
tion Of the body nearly two and half years
after death. The coffin was opened in the
presence Of Coroner Young, A. b. Page, Fred
erick Seigfried, DR.. Ernest Gushing, aud 9th.
ers. The body was well preserved, and was
identified by Frederick Seigfried by def0rIn.
tiles OF the hnger Of each hand. There was
ne evidence OF external violence. The heart,
spleen, liver, kidney, lung, the stomach, q
portion Ut the brain, and the lhtestines were
delivered 70 the chemist Of the Board OF
Health. The body was again exhumed on
March, 8, and several ribs and bones and pOr-
tions Of the lining Of tile coffin were given TO
the chemist.
1.-The parts received were all more or less
implegnated with arsenic. The largest quaint
ity was found In the stomach and intestines;
large amount was found in the liver and kid
ney, and small quantity in the brain. The
total quantity found in those parts amounts to
nine MillOgrammes of metallic arsenic. The
entire weight Of these parts was six pounds
and a fraction. There was evidently arsenic
diffused by means Of fluid which had escaped
from the body, and which had penetrated the
lower portion of the coffin, yet the bOdy has
maintained more arsenic than Is Sufficient tO
produce death. l therefore state that in my
opinion Frederick J. Seigfried came to his
death from the effects Of arsenic.
The arrest OF Hsggi was effected yesterday
by Officer Freeman Of the Twenty-if.h pre-
cinct, on q warrant issued by Coroner Young.
Heggi resided at the house were Seigfried

Before Recorder Dasliell, on Friday
last, appeared Ben Nuzum and Char
ley Page. alias Johnny Cum-Lately;,
who had INDUCED in regular set-to
with one Lieberman from the Der
Faderland, named Louis Ross. Page
and Nuzum, the knights of the per-
ogne and pole. hail from the cypress
swamps of Black Fork, Lake Platte
and surrounding country, or anywhere
else. The prize fought for was a
"ladie faire," supposed to be the
"Queen of Love and Beauty" only
SIX feet !: y high, born somewhere on Rcd
river, Graded in bee-gum, nursed by
prairie wolf, weaned on buffalo
humps and streaks of lightning, and
could run faster, wade deeper or reach
higher for the one she loved than
"any other man."
When the knights Of the perogue
and pole went to Castle Knipper, to
demand the hand of the fair maid,
Sir-knight Ross met them in hand
to hand encounter, until the odds told
fearfully against him. At. length he
went down, under q terrific charge of
q two-handed chair in the hands of
Cum-Lately, and a, tumbler, hurled
with great force by Sir Ben, and as a
trophy wears beautiful crescent on
his Uranium, showing how desperate
was the battle.
The " ladie faire" swooned, and fell
into the arms of Knipper, and the
victorious knights fell into the hands
of Constable White. who took them to
interview Recorder Dashiell. They
paid $42 for their fun.
