The Schurz Circular.


NEW YORK, June 1.-THE manifesto
signed by Carl SchuIz, General Cox, Mr..
Bryant and others, calling for consuita-
ton of prominent Liberal Republicans in
this city, next Thursday, excites much com
ment, and no little curiosity as to its exact
meaning. Senator Trumbull, now in New
York, asserts that the meeting is intended
to render Greely's chance at Baltimore
more secured; others conceive that it is
movement to revive Adams as a common
candidate of the Liberals and Democrats.
The World prints the call dOuble-leaded,
and evidently attaches the highest import
ance to it as an anti Greeley demonstration.
Mr.. Bryant's paper this evening makes no
illusions TO the manifesto, but assails Gree
ley editOrially as an indefensible candidate,
and prints the call headed Another Can
didate Wanted" The Express takes the
following view of the matter:
I'VE are sorry to see the names of six
gentlemen, among them that of Mr.. Bryant,
IF the Post summOning consulting CON
vention at New York on the twentieth
sorry because, though the summons itself
can mean nothing IL may be so perverted
as to mean something by men whose anti
Greeley zeal Overrides their Democratic at
tachments. Messrs. Schurz, Cox, Wells and
BrinkerhOtf were among the original callers
Of the Cincinnati convention, were present,
Schurz was presiding officer, and as the
organ of the convention, announced Mr..
Greeley its nominee. There is no honorable
escape from a position like this, no matter
what the dissatisfaction with the nominee,
or if an escape at all. At Cincinnati
was the time and place for it. The free
trade gentlemen seem dissatisfied with Mr..
Greeley because he is high tariff man.
The Express is just as much dissatisfied
with all that, but the President does not
make tariffs. Congress does, and with
Greeley will come in a Congress that will
set right all wrong things in the tariff; half
a loaf is better than no bread, and if Gree
ley is high tariff, Gratz Brown is low
enough, with vote to give in the Senate,
which Greeley will not have. But this New
York summons means only this, we sup
pose that is, Greeley may possibly be run,
of course, and Adams be put on too late
too late for ali that. Besides, after that
Adams letter-a very, very silly letter for
a sensible man-his nomination by Dem
Ocratic convention became utterly impOs-
sible. Mr.. Adams, under that letter, would
represent nobody and nothing but himself.
Mr.. Greeley, on the contrary, in a very able
letter, not only accepts the Cincinnati plat
form, but so expOunds it as to make it sat
isfactOry to all Democrats in the land.
Then all the Democratic conventions, with
the exception of little Delaware, have
settled upon Greeley fresh from and after
consultation with Democrats

New ORLEANS, June 70, 1872.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN:
In the report Of the proceedings OF the
City Council, as published in this mornings
issue of the New Orleans Times, the follow
ing appears:
Mr.. Lewis offered an ordinance prohibit
ing the collection OF bond money for ap-
pearance before recorders, etc. Laid over.
Mr.. Lewis stated that he had been before
the grand jury few days ago, and exam
ined on the subject.
He referred TO the case. of a well known
ex city official who was locked up in the
Fourth District. A respectable citizen
offered bonds and was accepted, but as
neither of the two had the bond dollar,
which was exacted without the slightest
law for it, the official had to leave his watch
to avoid sleeping in the station.
] would respectfully state that no such
fragrant outrage was ever perpetrated in
the Fourth District within the cognizance
or during the incumbency Of Recorder A.
E. Billings, who, I believe from what
have seen and know of HIM to be a strictly
honest man and an impartial judge. I trust
that the words Fourth District may be
typographical error of the Times, and not
the statement of the honorable Administra-
tor of Police, as / believe that he would not
Intentionally censure any person without
being personally aware Of the facts, and
without just cause to do so.

Facts for Travellers.

By reference to the Postmaster Generals
report, page nine, it will be found that for
one year two-thirds Of the mails carried by
the Jackson route for New York were
train behind time. Of course passengers
were subjected to the same anRoyances.
These delays at Humboldt are now surely
avoided by taking the through car for St.
Louis, at the foot of Canal street, at 500
P. NJ, over the Mobile and Ohio Railroad.
No other route can ticket the passenger
through without change.
For st. Louis and Louisville, and all
points north and east of these cities, trains
Of all lines must pass over the Mobile and
Ohio road, and run by their time. For
facts and full information, apply to Billy

Of gold exacted from France, which, with

made in Germany was 36,700,000 Uhalers,

sons for damages sustained by the
contending forces. Nearly the whole
of this sum has been bestowed
upon the annexed provinces. SIX million
Jbalers were paid TO shipOwners and crews

pal aims, were assisted by the State to the
amount of 100000 thalers, as much being
divided among the Generals who distin-
guished themselves most. Forty million
thalers were set apart to serve as reserve
fund against the next campaign. No less
than l,l44,O0O thalers was devoted to in
