There has been much apparent anx-

gresham for the first District /; that is
10 say whether Davis or Wilson is
elected. We would suggest to the
friends Of these gentlemen, to consider
whether either Of them has been or can
DO at apy future time elected to that
high position until, there be Legislation
on the subject. For there arc many
men Of pre-cminent learning that DO.
lieyo the law authorizing the election
of Congressman has been repealed,
and that there Is no law authorizing an
election at any time, either in August

ing& Lake Erie Railroad. The same gen.
tleman had said q few moments before that
he knew but little about either railroad,
and was ashamed Of his ignorance. And
the Council evidently took him at his
word, for they voted unanimously against
him. But why Is the Chairman Of the Fl.
nance Committee singled out as authority
rather than tho Chairman OF the Commit.
tee on Railroads, which has something to
do with this question; and the chairInen
Of fourteen other committees out OF nine.
teen, and six out Of eight members Of the

much In favor Of this measure as the Fl.

Why Mr.. Greeley BaiIed jeff Davis.
From the Cincinnati Commercially

We not Of opinion that the delicate
proceeding Of Horace Greeley in baiIing
Jefferson Davis Is altogether the most
remarkable event OF his magnanimouS
lie, and likely to prove scrviceable as the
principal plank upon which 10 run into
the Presidency. The effort, therefore,
which is being made by aome Of the Jour.
mails friendly 10 MIR. Greeley as q Presiden.
tial candidate, to magnify the dramatic
little affair Of signing the bail bond in
Richmond, does not seem to US well ad.
vised, For illustration, the Enquirer, in
describing the "strong tie Of personal
gratitude, which binds the people Of the
South to Horace Greeley, accounts for
their enthusiasm In his behalf as follows:
when The life of Jefferson Davis, for his de-.
yotion TO their cause, was in imminent danger /;
when tho cry for his blood was strong all over
the North and West; when such was the odIum
OF his name that no one hardly dared to say
word In his behalf or protest against his execu.
tion,-Mr; Greeley stepped no6ly, forward, and
In practical manner did that which eventually
gave Mt. Davis his freedom. He did this from
tho nOblest convictions OF duty, and rIskcd his
personal reputation and political standing by It,"
Now the truth is Mr.. Greeley was in.
dignant because the government would
neither try JEFF. Davis nor let him go.
The farce Of pretending to hold him for
civil trial was being Odiously protracted.
Mr.. Greeley wanted him tried or released.
Ills lie was not in the slightest danger.
Nobody was clamoring for his blood. AT
that time there was no cry, West or
North, for his lille. Almost everybody
saw that in the first place the right thing
would have been to permit JEFF. to run
away, and the next place that If he was
10 be tried at all it should have been by
court organized to convict"
The Government, as Davis had not been
allowed to flee irym the country, and he
had not been shot, was in the undignlfled
position of holding prisoner and refusing
him q speedy trial. OF course the trial Of
the President Of the Southern COnicdera.
cy for treason, by jury picked in Wiz.
ginia, would have been q farce. In this
embarrassing situation Mr.. Greeley came
forward to extricate the government from
its difficulty by balling the prisoner. As
an incident Ot the affair jeff. got out Of
prison, but the main fact was the release
of the authorities from an awkward fix.
