it to collapse and wrinkle, is HAGAN's MAGNo-

A Horrible Revelation.
From the Lowell Courier.l

BILLY Forester has written letter to
one of his pals, in which he details the cir
cumstances of the Nathan murder with
great minuteness. It seems that the "dog"
which was found in the house was furnished
him for the express purpose of killing Nathan
by Mr.. Horace Greeley, the said Greeley to
have ten per cent net of the plunder secured
by BILLY" 1t also appears that John
Cochrane held the lantern while the mur-
derer did the fatal deed. Nor is this all. On
the back of the letter above referred TO is
written in pencil, list of names and amounts
supposed to be those OF accomplices of For
rester, who were to share his booty in return
for information furnished and protection 10
be given in case of arrest and danger. The
arrest has come, and hence the explosion.
These names and amounts are as folIous.

Fair Forest City, hail to thee
Whose beauty fills mine eyes to weeping
From that old world beyond the sea,
Where Time his centuries hath been reaping,
come to greet thee in my turn,
And place my future in thy keeping.
With fear of no unkind return;
Nor can my soul the praise refuse
The righteous praise thy beauties earn.
Thy streets are noble avenues,
Across which shadows gaunt are lying:
Through all the day they sleep or muse;
Or hear the tiny fountains playing,
Or wonder what the world is saying.
Once to the land ancient Of days
They brought song-book full of singing,
And ever since the tuneful lays
Like many bells abroad are ringing,
And peoples praise the Singers mind
Whose fame its flight afar is winging.
But now think thereon, 1 find
They verify know not what they say.
His rhymes are sweet after their kind
But where was learnt the lulling lay?
How can they know whe have not stood
As we do on his land to-day?
Behold a city in wood,
Where those are blest who go and come;
1t must have tuned bis heart to good:
And here this Poet had his home
And first-fruits Of his harmony.
'Tis WELL 1 care not hence to roam,
That place is hallowed ground to me-

Reduction Of tine Debt.

An Iowa correspondent says:
l want to understand by what mode
of reasoning David A. Wells arrives at
the conclusion that johnson paid
$47O,0OO,O0 of the public debt in
three years and seven months.
Secretary Boutwell's report for 1871
Opp. II and 13) states the reduction
Of the funded debt, in only two years
of johnson, at $111, ,54S,322. This is
but small part of the truth, however.
At the close of the war, much of the
debt was unfunded. The johnson
Administration aimed to pay of this
floating debt, in order to avoid the
issue Of any more bonds. How sue
cessful it was, may be inferred from
the speech Of one GeorQnl ~ Boutwell,,
then member Of tho House. This
speech will be found intthe Congress
ional Globe, 1868, PIP. 42964299.
Mr.. B. said: "In two years and nine
months" (April |, 1865, to Jan. /,
1868. under Johhson), i've paid 3d..
O66. 100000 Of the public debit" This
estimate ;;was, however. exaggerated.

This is not only the great question
Of to day, but is to be tho absorbing
question for years to come. On this
question the two parties are wide
apart as the pole. The one finds its
faith expressed in Jefferson's inaugu-
raj, in the teachings Of Madison and
jackson and in the declarations Of the
Cincinnati and Baltimore Conventions;
the other adheres to the doctrine of
Hamilton, Adams and " ebstcr.. The
one condemns centralized power and
insists upon the sauctity Of ire-side
right. It asserts the supremacy Of the
civil over the military authority, and
freedom Of person under the protection
Of the habeas corpus. 1t "demands for
the individual the largest liberty con-
sistent with public order; for the State,
self government. and for the nation a

constitutional limitation of fpower.

The effect of Mr.. Grants civil sery-
ice is very demoralizing. 1t CONSTANT
l!y grows worse, and the exhibition of
it more shameful. Men who are called
''honorable'' now do things which, a
few years since, would have ruined
their good names. They purchase
nominations and Office at a price, and
then contribute literally to a corrupt
ion fund in order to keep them. A
reform OF this growing evil is one of
the objects the reform party have in
view. Horace Greeley is pledged to
its accomplishment, and his election
will be the first step to great, victory
over terrible evil which is surely,
though, perhaps, slowly destroying the

From the Cairo BuHetin.]

From TIC Cairo Bulletin.
At least one half the negroes Of Cairo
believe that, up to the outbreak Of The
rebellion, Horace Greeley bought and
sold negroes. "He was a very hard
man on his negres," they say, 'and
used to keelhaul hundred of them a.

ment.
A very knowing darkey, who lives
in the upper part Of the township, says
that when Greeley was in the rebel
army he cut his negro waiting-man in.
to fourteen distinct pieces, because
the poor negro being worn out and
sleepy, went to bed before blacking the
old mans boots and brushing his black
"bombaxene" oyercoat.
Another darkey declares that when
he worked on Massa Grecley's Alabama
plantation, the old man gave up his en-
tire time to dissipation, and was the
terror Of the whole neighborhood. 1t
was very common thing for him to
shoot tin cups off the heads of his field

ones, are current among the negroes;

simply disgraccful.
