pea-Speaking Of the recent Cincin,
natl nomination the New York Times
says
1t is curious fact that the
strength first displayed by Mr. Gree-
ley in the Cincinnati Convention
came largely from men known as
Southern "carpet-b aggers" Any
one who wishes to know exactly
what Mr. Greeley thinks, in his 80
Der moments, OF this class Of poIili,
clans, will do we'll to consult his
speech Of June last on his return
from the South. He never employed
his fine talent for denunciation TO
better effect ; and though the last
performances of his Southern friends
may induce him to think better of
theD, we do not know that il will
produce that result with The public

How Greeley Takes it.

Mr.. Greeley first received the ne VS.
of his nomination at Cincinnati, in
dispatch from Col. Arson Stager, Su.
perintendent of the Western Union
Telegraph lines. while writing an ed
itorial in the Tribute office. Ben.
Wood tried to be first to tell him, but
was beaten by Tribune office boy.
Horace was as tickled as child with
new toy, and the Tribune office was
happy. A dispatch says:
Mr.. Greeley arose. His face was
wreathed in smiles He was pleased,
and honestly expressed his pleasure,
but when the mail clerks, the report
ers, the pressmen, the compositors,
the office boys, the stereoty and
other employees Of the Tribune rush
ed up the stairs and overwhelmed
him with genuine expressions of
pleasure, the heart Of the good philos-
opher was touched with honest pride.
His countenance reminded one of
summer morn in June. He repeated
ly shook hands and thanked all for
their kind wishes. Mr.. Greeley was
almost childish in his delight. He
remarked to q gentleman who called
to congratulate him, that he thought
the Irish would swallow his nomina-
ton.
Another New York dispatch says
1t is reported that Mr.. Greeley will
not conduct the campaign in the
Tribune, but, until after the election,
will write very little, and take a
smaller part in politics than he has
ever done before. In q few weeks.
it is said, he will 20 to his farm 10
Chappaqua and rest quietly through
the summer, with occasional quiet
ourneying to different cities. His
friends say he will not write any let
tiers or make any speeches; that his
record is before the country, and that
his position needs no explanation.
When asked if he would not try and
beat Grant, he answered "Others
will have to do the trying my bust
ness now is to keep still" To
question how be felt about it, be re-

Hendricks and George IL Pendeton
teIegraphed on Thursday to Demo-
cratic Congressman that the use of
their names by John D. Defrees, in

that they had endorsed his nomina-
ton, was wholly authorized. Mr..
Hendricks added that he would re-
gard the election of Mr.. Greeley as
national calamity, and that be favor

EThe Republicans at the local
elections in Indiana few days since,
gained almost decidedly in almost
every locality. This does not look
very much as though the Repu blican
party was going to pieces. Perhaps
the guin may be accounted for in
part by the fact that the Liberal
Republicans" were all 10 Cincin natl

Modest Henry Wilson claims lal
the States for Grant but two accord
ing to a Herald interviewer), and
these two, New York and New
Hampshire, doubtful. The Grant
candidate for Vice President is about
as senseless in this as when, in the
United States Senate, in the midst of
the war, he prevented the enlistment
Of more troops for the prosecution
of the war, and as when, in his recent
letter he insinuated he did not be-
long to the old American party. One
who pretends to so much virtue as
MI. Wilson ought at least to consid-
er that truth means the whole truth,
and that those who profess so much
ought not to be engagedin deliberate
deception of the people. If anybody
believed what Mr.. Wilson says Of the
election they would put it down to
the grossest ignorance, but as Mr..
Wilson is not an ignorant man they
must put down his prophecies to in
territorial deception.

The annexed account of a whole
sale murder we find in the late news
from Japan:
"a wholesale murder has occurred
IN 1edo, the culprits being a dozen
OF the newly organised police force.
One morning the house of a mer-
chant remained unopened long after
the proper timefor commencing bus
mess. The neighbors entered. and
discovered that the whole family of
thirteen persons had been cruelty
murdered-except a little boy. who
crept into one of the large pots in
which rice is stored, and lay hid till
the fight was done. The police knew
nothing of the matter; but the child
identified four of them as the Il
derers. and they incriminated eight
accomplices; 81 400 stolen by them
from the house, was found in their
possession.

AN ABORTION

The Grant press of the country
are earnestly advocating the nom
nation of a Presidential ticket at q
Convention, called by Brick Pom
eroy, to assemble at Louisville, IN
September. The thing Will prove a
miserable abortion. The fact that
the movement is advocated by the
GRANTEES is sufficient, of itself, to
damn it with the Democracy, for
they never have and never will ap-
prove any thing that is either Dem
o~cratic or creditable. There is not a
respectable Democratic journal in
kentucky that favors the movement,
but on the contrary all of them earn
estly support Greeley and Brown,
and stand squarely on the Clncln-
natl platform. The movement was
conceived in sin, and is a base at
tempt to divide the party and secure
the reelection of Grant. The Dem
ocratic National Convention is the
supreme authority in the party; its
resolves are the party law, and the
man who refuses to abide its action
reads himself out of the organiza-
ton. Let all such go squarely over
to the gift-taker, where they belong.

The New York Sun brings a new
accusation against President Grant.
1t declares that when acting as Sec
rotary of War in the place of Mr..
Stanton he relinquished the title of
the United States to the Suscol
Ranch in California to the repre-
sentatives of the Bank of California,
contrary to law and justice, and
thereby caused a loss of millions of
dollars to the United States. The
Sun says: "The man who did this
has exhibited the same conspicuous
disregard of law throughout his
whole administration as President.
He has violated the laws himself,
and sanctioned their violation by his
associates and subordinates. But
the most painful fact about these il
legal transactions is that they SO
frequently result in private pecuni-
airy advantage as to induce the belief
that it is only the prospect-or the
certainty-of sharing in those bene-
fits which has rendered
of law by Government officials SO
common that they now scarcely at
tract notice."

The following scene occurred in
a Grant newspaper Office in Indiana:
Nisitor-What do you think of Sum
ner'S letter?
EditOr-It is one of the most power
full documents ever saw. Il has con
WINGED me that Greeley is going to be
elected. and that the hand of God has
been from the beginning directing
the whole matter.
Nisitor-Well, aren't you going to
come out on the side of God?
Editor Scratching his head)-I don't
know about that. Wen have to con
slider the question a little longer. and
at any rate can't change toe suddenly.

GRANT AS A SOLDIER AT SHILOH.

In a letter to the Chicago Times,
correspondent, evidently thor
oughly informed on his subject, cri-
ticises General Grants military
operations in the West during the
war, with unsparing hand. He
especially ~denounces the conduct of
the illustrious commander before
and during the battle of Shiloh or
Pittsburg Landing. declaring that
the neglect of duty on the part of
General Grant invited attack from
the Confederate forces, and insured
the first days defeat. He asserts
that the Federal army was only
saved from utter destruction by the
arrival of General Buell's command
on the second day, and by his as
summing the direction of the army in
the subsequent fighting. The writer
addresses General Grant personally,
and SAYS: "What. then, was Shi-
lob? Your victory? No, It was
Your defeat and Beauregard's vic
tory: then Beauregard's defeat and
Buell's victory. It was the guilty
surprise of a sleeping General, and
Al II H. -. ,+4opnl fo-nnc nv
a friend whom he had once insulted
and whose present proof of friend
ship he soon forgot. In that
slaughter, the East bore none of the
sacrifice to your peculiar genius.
In its hasty ambition, therefore, to
make the proverbial whistle, it
snatched at the dead list as the title
deed to martial honor and echoed
hero to every utterance of your
name. But in the West, where 1t
was better understood, where the
CHASTITY losses were felt and the
causes were unknown your name
became the synonym for needles,
fruitless waste of life and its wide
spread attendant sorrow. Soheraui
high-minded Governors asked your
removal for 'incaraeity and inroZi-
cation But your Indifference MT
its rival in Washington, and Won
went unrebuked beyond a second
faint fagellation from Halleck."
And is it the Grant of Shiloh
memory who, reeking with his gross
abnse of one Presidential term. now
asks the more than royal gift in dup
plicate? Is it for Shiloh that he
asks it? Let US hope not; but open
ing a new chapter hereafter. look
further in the field of arms for that
which shall give to the claims at
least a coloring that does not fade
before the searching sunlight of fact.
We remember that Professor
Swinton in his interesting volume
"The Decisive Battles of the War"
makes substantially the same charges
against Grant, concerning the battle
of Shiloh, and supports with con
vincing argument and abundant
facts the business of his accusation.

Some time ago a great outcry was
made in England because certain
members of the nobility expended
more money on their dog-kennels
than OF the cottages occupied by the
laborers on their estates. But the
New York Sun is showing that We
have the President of a Republic
who insists upon having his horses
far more extensively housed than
are the vast majority of the taxpayers
who supply the money so recklessly
squandered by the Administration.
But even this, the editor tells us, is
not the worst feature of the case:
The money required to provide
these palatial quarters for Grants
horses has been taken from the pub
lie treasury without any authority of
law. For n long time it WAS a
profound mystery where the money
was to come ron to paw for this use
less expenditure. The appropriations
for White House expenses during
Grants term have been so unusual
and eNtravagant that at first 1T was
supposed that possibly the money for
these stables had been charged under
the head of fuel or furniture. But
subsequent investigations have shown
that the sum of $50. 900 was Illegally
diverted from the appropriation made
by Congress for the new State Depart
ment building, and applied to the con
Struction of the horse palace which
Grant has built without any authority
whatever, and in utter defiance OF
law.

The Reform Movement.

The Memphis Appeol takes n cheer
full view of the situation. "The ac-
ton" it considers, "oi the Liberal Re-
publicans in Congress and throughout
the Union is the morning star glimmcr-
ing through the darkness which has so
long shroudcd the country. 1t indi-
Gates the approaching dawn. The hon
est masses sleep 10 longer From all
quarters we hear the cry of Reform.
Honest mon Of all political creeds are
laying aside party prejudices, forget
ting the mad passions born of war and
striking hands in the work Of purifying
the government" The Appem argues :
The Southern people have everything
to gain and nothing to lose bv the Lib
cral movement. Indeed, we believe it
will result, let the election ter
inmate as it may, in the liberation Of
the South. If the Liberal Republicans
should nominate an acceptable cand-
date and adopt an unobicctionablc plat
form, the Radicals, who hold their con-
vcntion in June. will bid still higher for
Democratic support, by adopting still
more liberal platform and before the
Presidential election. Congress will rive
free. full and universal amnesty and the
Southern people will thus secure all
their rights and instead of being ira
duccd and vilIiiied, they will be compI-
mcntcd as chivalrous, law-abiding
lovely people. In such a contest Grant
dare not renew his expressions. He
would at once loosen the thumb,crews.
and. 10 secure Democratic votes, he
would speak of the South in honcved
words and promise to do more for Us
than the Liberal Republicans promise.
The South would thus cease TO be the
ShutlIc-cock Of Northern dcmagoguc,.
Taking this view of the situation. we
see the approaching dawn of Southern
dcIiverancc. This is the desire nearest
the hearts Of our oppressed people. and
they will watch with deep concern the
important events which the next three
months will develop.

County Convention.

EdHor Positive learn from your
last issue that the several Democratic
candidates for Tax Collector of McMinn
county have entered into an arrange
ment to submit their respective cases to
a County Conventon-to be held At
Athens, on the first Monday o! Aril en-
suing-and the people are requested to
meet in each civil district on the last
Saturday in March, and appoint two
delegates for each district to represent
them in said Convention.
Now, the question arises, how shall
these delegates be selected in order to
fully and fairly reflect the wishes Of the
district? The only plan we can sug-
gest is: to hold an election in each dis
trict and send up two delegates in
structeH to vote for the candidate re-
ceivng the highest number Of votes in
the district. Then why not have q pri-
mary election in each district, and let
the candidate who has the highest vote
be declared the nominee? A man might
have majority of the districts and not
q majority of the votes polled. But
one thing is ccrtain-we must have no
disorganzers. Whatever plan is agreed
to by majority of the candidates, the
minority must accept. If delegates are
sent from each district, they should be
good men who will fully carry out the
expressed wishes of their district. The
time is short, but all power is in the
hands Of the people, and we would like
TO hear from other districts as to the
proper manner Of selecting delegates.

Civil Service reform.

The Washington correspondent OF
the COuricr,JOuTUdl writes that "thc
question of civil-scrvicc reform has
AGAIN come TO the surface in the debates
in both houses on the appropriation
bills, and. while the details of the dis.
cussion contain nothing really new, the
fact appears still more prominent thai
the leaders Of the Republican party in
Congress are opposed to legislation to
carry the reform to its fullest extent.
The Senate, by small vote, yesterday
refused to pass Mr., Carpenters propo-
Sition to repeal all that has been done,
and to day reluctantly retained an APP
of fifty thousand dollars to
pay the expenses Of the Civl-Scrvicc
Advisory Board, etc. Mr.. Howe, of
Wisconsin, made an elaborate speech
against the new reform, which cOmplet-
ed almost the list of prominent Admin
istratiOn Senator's who have declared
against it. In the House the special
on the subject have done
nothing with the bills before them. 1t
is regarded ~ very doubtful if Con-
grcss gives any attention to the subject
at this session"
