and Cincinnati Mr.. Greeley found he had
put his foot In IL and found it necessary to
change his views. A man who changes his

HORACE GREELEY AT
CINCINNATI, SErT.
20, 1872:
Last evening, al
Pittsburg. in the
course of some off
hand remarks to a
vast assemblage like
this, l took pains to
explain the circum.
stances, the extraor-
binary, unprecedent-
ed circumstances un-
der which l was
impelled in the winter
of 1860 to offer in
good faith to submit
the whole question Of
union or disunion to a
free unconstrained
vote Of the Southern
people. Those re-
marks which / made
last evening have
been misrepresented;
have been, / think,
perverted into an ex-
preston of a present
belief, a present con-
yiction, that any State
has a right to dissolve
this Union at its own
good pleasure. Eel.
ow-citizens, ! utterly
repudiate and con
denim that sentiment
lCheers. ! do no
believe that one State
or that ten States Oh
that even a majority
of all the States has q
moral, legal or con-
stitutional right to
dissolve our Union.

DEAR Sir: Your letter of the Sth instant
reached me here. l have not seen the World

lude to, but understand that and others in
Congress in 1868 are accused of receiving
stock of . company called the "Credit Mo-
bilier," ~ an inducement or reward for pass.
ing certain legislation favorable to the Union
Pacific Railroad The charge is utterly un-
true SO far as am concerned. | believe l
have opposed every measure introduced in
Congress in the interest of this railroad cor
poration. If have not, the exceptional in
stance now escapes my recollection. While
l am aware of no valid reason why any person
might not hold stock in the Company referred
to, who came by il honestly, the truth is |
never owned, in any shape or form, share
or cent of it. Yours truly.

The O'Conor movement Is working.
The New York Day Book has hauled down
the Greeley and Brown flag, and comes
out strongly for O'Coner and Adams. The
New York delegates to the Louisville Con-
vention have issued an address to the De.
mocracy Of their State, in which they COM
ment upon the Baltimore nomination as a
departure from the established usage of
the Democratic party, which must inevita-
bly, result in the disintegration of the old
organization. They say, therefore:
"To the intelligent. honest and patriotic
members Of the Democratic party, who es-
chewing political knavery, uninfuenced by
the gamblers feeling of success, or infiamma-
tory appeals of demagogues, or faith in paper
platforms, an opportunity will be afforded
them to testify their patriotism by giving their
support to the ticket nominated by the Louis
vile Convention"
Accordingly, State Convention will
be held al Albany on the Sd of October to
put an electoral ticket in the field, and
grand ratification meeting is called for
October 8. Similar movements will prob
ably follow in most. ifnot all of the States.

WATER FOR STOCK.

The domestic animals, especially the horse
and COW, contribute very much both to the
comfort and wealth of individuals and nations.
The subduing of these animals and using them
in cultivating the soil, are advances from
barbarism towards civilization. The great
difference between the North American In
dams and the barbarous tribes of Asia at the
time of the discovery of America, was that the
latter had domesticated some animals and
the former had not. The use of certain ami
mails marks the beginning of civilization ; and
the manner in which they are used, marks
the degree to which civilization has advanced.
On all properly-conducted plantations, a
large amount of the wealth of the owner is
invested in stock. Common sense, as we'll as
good inanciering, requires that these animals
be properly attended to. They should be
carefully sheltered and abundantly fed with
good and nutritive food. This, generally in
theory, at least, seems to be admitted but
with regard to water for stock there seems to
be very general ignorance and a practical
indifference on the partof stock-ownsrs. Most
individuals think that any kind of water is
good enough for horse or COW. Sinking
pond water and stagnant holes in creeks and
branches are used for watering the domestic
animals on very many plantations. In fact,
many persons think that muddy water is
better for horses than good spring or we'll
water. This, we are convinced, is mistaken
notion. Horses, mules and COWS should have
good, clear water. Hot, stagnant water is
very upalatable, and must, from the very
nature of things, be very unhealthy.
Many persons, when watering horses, hold
up the bucket, or have high trough for them
to drink out of. This is contrary to nature.
The horse ought to be permitted to lower his
head when he drinks, so that his throat may
be entirely wet with the water as it is swal-
lowed

racy. Now, the former has determined to
support Greeley, and the latter it is said, is
going to shout for Grant.
North Carolina gave in 1864 popular
majority of 1854 for Grant and Colfax on
full but not exec: '-e vote, Halifax county
polling 4371. This year, Halifax, with no
increase of population, has been made to re-
turn 53O7, swelling the Grant vote from 30SO
in August, 1868, to 3640 in August, 1872;
yet the Grant majority in the State is hardly
1000.
Senator Sumner recently said in New
York that he considered the North Carolina
election a substantial victory for the Liberal
Republicans In 1868 the majority Of Gen.
Grant was $4,000, and that has dwindled to
1000, and if fair play had been given, the
victory would not be partial, but complete
He further stated that the cheering news
from all parts of the country pleased him
very much, and that he had strong hopes of a
sweeping triumph in November.
Mr.. Goodloe, of North Carolina, men,
ber of the Liberal Republican National Com.
mittee, is now in Washington. He says there
is no doubt but that the Legislature will
award the gubernatorial chair to Mr.. Merri-
mon at its meeting on the third Monday in
November, as evidence of fraud and illegal
voting sufficient has been collected to de-
stroy Caldwell's alleged majority. He states
that numbers of colored men from other
States were registered and voted like cattle,
and that they came into the State via the
Dismal Swamp Canal.

For the Y0rkvIlle Enquirer
THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS.

Mr.. Editor AT our next elections there
will be submitted to the vote Of the people,
two proposed amendments to the Constitution
of our State. One of these amendments, enti-
tied unconstitutional amendment, article XVI''
provides that the General Assembly shall con-
tract no further debt except for the ordinary
and current business of the State, without first
submitting the question to the people of the
State and having the same ratified by two
thirds vote of the qualified voters. To this
amendment there will probably be no objec-
ton from any one; and from the develop
ments that have been made showing to what
extent the General Assembly has involved the
State in debt, all will no doubt be disposed to
put some check upon their power and prevent
them from repeating the same thing in the
future. ......
The other amendment will simply be voted
for under the term Unconstitutional amend
ment." This amendment provides that here.
after our general elections, which are now held
on the third Wednesday in October, shall be
hereafter held on the first Tuesday after the
first Monday in November. The object Of
this is to have our State and county elections
held on the same day as the Presidential
election. The result of this amendment, if
adopted, will be that our State and county
elections will be much more influenced
by a Presidential canvass than they now
are The plain interest of the State is
that our State elections shall be entirely d.
vorced from all questions of national interest.
Now, and for years to come, the efforts of the
tax PAYERS will be directed not so much to
questions of national politics, as to putting
into office men who will act honestly and per-
form their duties efficiently. This reform, it
is clear, can be best carried out when the
Presidential question is not brought on at the
time we elect our State and county officers.
Would it not be we'll to recollect this fact and
vote "No" on the amendment? VOTER.

the Office of Governor is pretty well narrowed
down to Moses and Chamberlain. Such is
the invariable opinion of the delegates and
resident Republicans here with whom I have
conversed, and it may be safely regarded as
the true reading of the political horoscope at
the time of these presents. Chamberlain is
the choice of the financial ring-Scott is his
most prominent supporter, and Neag.e will
lend him what countenance he has. Moses is
the choice of the lobbyists and the bribe-ta-
king, thieving legislative crew; Honest"
John Patterson, Of Blue Ridge notoriety,
Worthington, Hoge and the bummers gener-
ally rally around Moses. The Chamberlain
combination is, perhaps, the most respectable,
and therefore the more dangerous. They
would do their spiriting in a financial and dig
ni6ed manner. The Moses crew is hetero-
genous mass, composed of all of the corrupt
elements in and around the legislative halls,
from the pusillanimous rogue who would sell
his vote for whatever it will bring, "a drink,
if nothing else) to the committee manipulation
and legislative schemers of larger ambition.
Hoge, Worthington and Moses dined with
Patterson to-day. Instead of Patterson buy
ing Moses of, as was thought to be the case
few days ago, it appears rather that Moses has
captured Patterson with the promise Of the
United State senatorship.
The Bowen faction, it is very generally be-
lieved, will support Moses. Mackey is appa-
rently treating with Chamberlain. They
we're closeted together to-day. The opinion
now is that Moses has the inside track. Mon
ey was all that was lacked, and that he will
now get in abundance from Patterson. Moth:
ing much, however, can be ascertained until
more of the delegates arrive.
1t is reported here that John Cochrane has
the Anderson and Pickens delegations in tow
for Moses, despite the efforts of Orr, Earle
and the other Reform Republicans in that
section.
The question now is what will the Orr.Cor-
bin party do about it. Neither Orr nor Cor
bin can hardly support Moses or Chamber:
lain, and they claim to represent Grant and
the National Republican party.
