Is out Tor Greeley. Greeley and |
Morrissey, during the young De-
mocracy" fight, co-operated for the |
nomination of Greeley for Govern
or. If we may judge from such in
cidcnts the character of the polili- |
clans who will throng the White
House for appointments in case the |
sage of Chappaqua is elected Presi-
dent, we are perfectly satisfied with |
n President who would appoint re-
lations, If he deemed them honest
and capable, TO all the offices in his
gift. Nepotism does not sound half
so terrible as John Morrissey and
Frank +. Blair.
Murdoch, of the Wichita Eagle,
claims the honor of having discov-
cred Horace Greeley, but modestly
declines to look at the philosopher
since the Liberals uncovered him at
Cincinnati.
Ii. g. has retired editorially until

The eight-hour system is being
agitated by the mechanics of New

IT established.
The terrible fires incident TO the
long continued dry weather in the
east continue to do immense dam
age. A Scranton dispatch states
that the fire on the line of the Della
ware & Lackawana railroad contiD-
ues, covering distance of over
thirty-iive miles in length. The
village of Tobyhanna, is burned,
and several saw, lumber and bark
mills, bridges and plank roads de-
stroyed, besides thousands of acres
on the mountain, of valuable stand
ing timber. Travel on the railroad
is dangerous and difficult.
The Monitor says: Mr.. Ham,
mond considers the revival at Law
renee, in which one thousand per-
soDs out of population of twelve
thousand were converted, as the
most successful work in which he
was eyer engaged, with the excep-
ton of one in Dumfries, Scotland.
The approximate number of con-
versions in the principal towns in
Kansas were as follows: Leaven-
worth, 500; Lawrence, 1000; To-
peka, GOO; Atchison, 300; Fit. Scott,
400. In addition to these meetings
have been held in many of the
smaller towns, with very important

Judging from the reports of vari-
Gus sections of the country, the
seeds sent forth by the Cincinn at

They had rousing Republican
convention in Nebraska last week,
and the Omaha Tribune says; "The
convention did one good thing, con-
sidering all the facts of the case,
which will be heartily Endorsed by
the Republicans of the State. Thew
instructed the delegates to vote for
Grant and Colfax. In this they
speak for nearly the whole party
through the State, for whatey er di-
visions may have crept in on minor
points, on this Republicans arc q
unit"
Amnesty hrs been recommended
by Grant in his message, and twice
passed by Republican House of
Representatives, but defeated by the
enemies ofthe Administration in the
Senate, the Republican ''seceders'
taking the leading part.
The New York Nation says that
all those who called the Cincinnati
Convention acknowledged private
ly that it was failure; some of
them admit it openly. Those who
are supporting Mr.. Greeley are do
ing so simply by way of making the
best of bad job. Not one of them
considers him q desirable candidate,
or looks forward to his election with
out grave apprehensiops."
The restoration of Charles Sum-
ner to the Craftsmanship of the Com

Gov. Hoffman has defeated re-
form in New York, by vetoing two

Horace Greeley, in his Essay on
