How Greeley BargaIned with Sey-
mOur, Etc.

THE Binghamton New York; Repu6li-
can published a long article several days
ago giving particulars of an alleged bar
gain entered into last October by Horatio
Seymour, Horace Greeley, and others, by
which Greeley was to be made the Demo
cratic candidate for the Presidency in
1879, he meanwhile finally separating
himself from the Republican party. IL

ing Democrat in Otsego County, and that
Greeley, IN his reply, after saying that the
Democrats ought to have nominated
Chase in 1868, and that it was now too
late to think of him, as he is ''feeble and
broken down." said that for himself he
"could hardly see his way so far ahead as
1872" Two weeks later the Otsego
County writer accepted Greely's invita-
tion to visit him, and received his assent
TO be the candidate. This Democratic
wire-puller then made tour of this State
to consult the leaders, but at that time
received very little encouragement, Two
or three months later, before the Demo
Gratis had fully decided to accept Greeley's
offer, the Cincinnati movement began to
take shape. Subsequently the Otsego
County man made second tour, and
found the Democratic managers, though
not united, far more decidedly for Gree
ley, if he would put himselfin a position
to enable them to appeal to the rank and
file. Seymour formally surrendered what

sion. A few DAYS before the Cincinnati
meeting, Seymour informed Waldo
Hutchins by letter Of the scheme, and the
New York delegation acted in accordance
with it at Cincinnati.
THE CHARGES VIRTUALLY CONFESSED.
A recent number Of the Republican says
its charges, as above epitomized, having
been so long before the public, in the
columns of the journals, great and small,
that, in the absence of contradiction or
denial of any kind, itregards the judgment
as confessed 1t says:
"The Tribune On. W has hitherto been
very fast to deny or explain what did not
suit it, appearing in this and ether pa
pers, but It is silent as the grave now.
Ia order thai we may relieve 1t and the
Democrats Of any delicacy in answering
the details we have given, WIN caves
ETC., we put our charges in iorh 81 ;.i, Gtiel,
direct and positive that they can hel'ner
mistake nor evade them"
1--WE charge: 1. That Horace Greeley
agreed with Democrat in October last
to be q candidate against the Republi-
cans, for President, if the nomination.
were rendered him.
49, That he kept this agreement a
secret, while he changed the tone OF ms
paper, so that from a supporter OF the
Republican organization, Republican Al
ministration and Republican principles
it abandoned its party, became an enemy
of the Administration, repudiated he
publican principles, and substantially
Joined the Democrats. This was while
Mr.. Greeley held a Democratic proposi-
tioa to be their nominee for President,
which he had accepted.
"3. That Horatio Seymour, represent
ing the leading Democrats OF TINS State'
wrote to Waldo Hutchins, one OF Gree-
ley's ''right-hand" supporters and ADVISERS
in New York, on the question OF making
Greeley President with Democratic sup,
port; and that Waldo Hutchins replied
to that letter, on or before May 1, just be-
fore the meeting of the Cincinnati Con-
vention.
"a That the understanding arrived az
between Seymour, for the Democrats, and
Hutchins, for Greeley-with other direct
understanding--wa communicated TO
New York and other delegates to Cincin-
natl, and was the principal cause OF the
nomination OF Greeley, who had at hrst
little more than one-fifth the strength Oh
the Convention, and who, for reason the
country has never comprehended I'LL now,
received finally the majority of votes,
against the sense of all the original NOV
ers of the Convention.
"If there is any answer to these charges
or to any of them, we again invite the
persons concerned, or anybody by their
authority, to come forward. There is
much more to be said on our side; and
we may add that the facts point very sig
nificantly toward other Qate) Republican
company than that of Hutchins, as asso-
citation of Greeley and Seymour in the
plot. The name of o man who has occu-
pied a very prominent place i'll Republl-
can politics ia this State is given to us as
involved in it."

The Taxpayers Candidate.

WE have already showed that Grant is
nre-eminently the Business Mans Candi-
date, because, under his Administration,
all sorts of business thrive, and all men
are unusually prosperous and comtorta-
BILE. 1t would be quite as easy to conhrm
the impression already abroad in the land,
that Grant is prominently the Tax-pay--
ers' Candidate, because, under his general
superintendence, taxes have been applled
faithfully to the payment OF the natlons
debt. and the expenses of the Govern
ment have been reduced and kept down
to the minimum. The speech of Mr..
Dawes is not yet answered by the Gree
leyites. and it cannot be. He showed, by
authentic statistics, that the actual, le-
gitimate expenses of the Government,
last year, aside from the interest on the
debt, the pensions, claims and war eS-
penditures, we're only six millions more
than the aggregate expenses OF Buchanans
Democratic Administration in 1860. This
small increase in expenses is less than the
increase in population and wealth. TAX
ing into account only the increase in pop
ulation and taxpayers, the expenses per
CAPITA are shown to be $1.76 last year,
against 81. 95 in 1860. Thus the expenses
per taxpayer are actually less under
Grant than Buchanan.
But the tables show that in 1860 only
$3, 600 600 were expended on public works
against S11 900, 600 in 1871. This is, in
each case, rather an investment than a
disbursement for the expense of running
the Government so both items should be
deducted from the expense column. Sub
tract this, and it is found that, notwith-
standing the enormous growth of the Re
public, the increase of the army, and the
Pacific Railroad mortgage and interest,
the actual cost of carrying on the Gov
ernment was considerably less, in the ag-
gregate, in 1871 than in 1860
The appended table shows that the
present Administration is the most eco
nomical that we have had in thirty years
and in the aggregate of last year the
item of $11 900, 600 for public works is
| included:

s-"Decrease of public debt during the
month-two million dollars" That is the
simple announcement that crept into all the
papers this morning. The debt has been di-
minished three hundred million dollars since
President Grant was inaugurated. He has
enforced public economy, and an honest col
lection of the revenues; but he is guilty of
the crime of giving his aged father charge of
post-ofIice down in Kentucky, and OF refus-
ing to receive bullpup with which some
Democrats tried to conciliate him. Which
shows that he is a "nepot" and tyrant.-

rB~The Tribune processes to believe that
Vice-President Colfax is growing lukewarm
in his support of Grant. But we happen to
know that now, as before the Philadelphia
Convention, President Grant has not a more
earnest supporter for reelection than Mr..
Colfax. Let the Tribune continue to grow
happy over the accession of leading rebels
and copperheads to the cause of Greeley and
Democracy, but when it comes to such true

tn, District Attorney Brtton for Mrs. Lee and

Mr.. Britton. on behalf Of Mrs. Lee, moved that
the case 90 over the term to enable settlement to
be effected. He had only learned two days before
that his client was In orange, N j., and he was
satisfied that the action should be settled rather
than tried. It was in its origin woman's case,
and like all such, sure to result in unpleasant
Developments. He trusted the counsel on the
other side would not press the case then but would
consent tnat 1t go over for the term to enable
cOnciliation OF interests to be brought about.

merely desired full vindication at the hands OF
the defendants or jury, and that object being at
tatned by either means, she disliked any unneces-

defence was disposed to propose settlement, he
consented that Mr.. BrittOns motion be granted on
