GREELEY's REBUKE OF GREELEY,

When Horace Greeley was nominated
for the office of comptroller in 1869, he ad-
dressed a letter of acceptance "to Hon.
Hamilton Harris and associates, Republic
can State committee" from which we
extract the following:
"You do not need to be told that | did
not want the nomination any more than L
expected it, and that | do not desire the
office. But clearly comprehend that po-
litical lile..has its responsibilities and its du-
ties as well as its opportunities and its hon
ors, and | accept without hesitation, thank
ing you for the faith you have evinced in
my devotion to the Republican cause, |
trust that some friend may be able to say
with truth at my grave that my political
friends never We're asked by me for any
favor, and never required of me any hon
orable service that | did not cheerfully rem
der. = = = = = > +
This is the off year in politics Men whose
patriotism barely suflices to take them to
the polls when a President or when at least
a Governor and members of Congress are to
be chosen, will not come out this fall. The
great armyo of obice-seekers and selfish as
pnants to lire on the public actH also contri-
butte easily to the legions of sulky ~stay-at-
homes. General Grant lacking the mwacu-
lous po,cer aohich, fed muududes 10 repletion
on a feap small l0aces and fishes, has o0en-
ded these patriots beyond the hope of present
forgiveness. Let me, therefore, entreat
them to go to the polls, and there work
and vote simply for the constitutional
amendment securing impartial suffrage.
They wiU thus proclaim that Their personal
disappontments hare not affected their prna-
ciples, and that their past professions Of
Republicdaism acre not iastncere. They
shall be most welcome to vote
against me, and still claim to be bet
ter Republicans than | am, if they will thus
evince undated devotion to the cause. :
In the confident trust that the canvass on
which we are now entering will be signal
lied by determined though quiet effort on
the part of the friends of General Grants
arise, prudent and patriotic administration,
and that its result will shame the laggards
and faint hearts who are never ready to put
forth efforts except when they are not need
ed, l remain yours gratefully" l.gaa

The first primary election ever held
in Shelby county is progressing to-day.
The candidates stand squarely on their
merits before the people, and must rise
or fall by the decision rendered at the
polls. The tricks and trafiics of con-
ventions have been excluded, to the
great regret of q small number of ward
politicians, whose admiration for con-
ventions was inspired by the most selfish
motiyes-motives prompted by golden
hopes. There will be q large vote poll
ed, as our citizens, of all classes, seem
determined to attend the polls in the in
terest Of their respective friends. As in
several States that have adopted the
primary election system, we need laws
on the subjec. Of illegal voting at pri-
maries, but this no doubt will be attend
ed to by our Legislators at the earliest
possible moment.

FRAUDULENT VoTISG.-The judges Of
the primary election to-day should be
particular so that professional repeat
ers in the interest Of any candidate
cannot ply their unfortunate traffic. No
law exists at present on the statute book
TO protect the ballot and punish illegal
voting at primary elections. 1t is ru-
mored that plans have been laid to carry
out a system of illegal voting; hence the
judges should do everything in their
power to preserve the purity of the ballot
box in this the first primary election
held in the county.

Thanksgiving services for the safety OF
their majesties were held in all the
churches. The TIE Deum was sang and
the celebrations carried out with the
greatest pomp. Excited crowds gathered
early this morning around the prison
where the two men captured ut the time
Of the shooting were confined and de-
manded that the prisoners be handed
over to them for execution. 1t required
the greatest exertions on the part of the
authorities 10 protect the prisoners, but
finally good counsels prevailed and the

the Government had recently received
warning from a foreign ambassador that
an organized attempt would shortly be
made to assassinate the King. Good
order now prevails throughout the city.

For Congress.

To the Editor of the Ledger:
Among the many candidates before the
people for Congressional honors, none
stand fairer before the workingmen than
Colonel William l.. Duff. The Colonel
is n selfmade man, one of the people,
whose record cannot be excelled. He
ever has been the friend of the working
man, and he will secure strong vote
from the laboring classes at the polls to-
day. If he is beaten, it will be done by
ring" combinations, that even now
are at work in the interest of others.
All that the people want is fair and
square race. Should this be secured,
Colonel Duff, if he does not lead, will not
be far behind the winner of the prize.
Within the last three weeks the popular
tide has turned in his favor, and his
friends in every ward and district will
rally and work earnestly for his election
to-day. If the workingmen want a rep
resentative man in Congress, one who is
keenly alive to their interests, they will
vote solid for William L. Duff.

WHAT is HEf


Since the white personal friends OF
Colonel Curry have cheerfully rushed
into print to deny that the Colonel COM
manded a." niger regiment or that
he signed petition to put Tennessee
under martial law, why cannot these
gentlemen be induced to rise and ex-
plain as to Colonel Curry's political pre-
objections. The question, is the Colonel
a Grant Radical, Greeley Liberal Re
publican, or Democrat, remains I'M
answered. Come to the front. The
question is one Of great importance to
the people of Shelby county--a conserva-
tive people, who have had enough OF
carpet-bag Radical rule. The dodge
that politics has nothing to do with local
elections might with some little pro
priety be INDUCED in by n simon-pnre
Democrat, but a trusty Radical whose
strength lies with the negro voters, and
whose vote has ever been cast for the
oppressors and plunderers of the South,
cannot hide behind so transparent a
mask. Colonel Curry has perfect
right TO his Radical opinions, but his
friends have no right TO whisper as to
his suspected conservatism 10 white men
on the streets, when among the negroes
the Colonel ia regarded as a Radical in
full fellowship. The recently enfran-
chised people of Tennessee cannot vote
for one who persistently supported those
in favor Of their disfraEchisement
