at Chappaqua, and in the event of his
election the most arduous duties of host
ess of the Executive mansion would de-
volve upon his eldest daughter. Miss
Ida Greeley is young lady of about 1s.
OF medium height. handsome. with the
soft dark eye. shApely features and fine
complexion of her father. A mass of
dark brown hair is done up in becoming
folds about her head. Her manners are
affable and cordial, her conversation
ready and sprightly, and from the suc-
cess with which, assisted by Mrs. Stuart
she presided at the first state dinner Of
the coming administration under the ev-
ergreen shades on the farm at Chappa-
qua Saturday, it was made evident that
her domestic accomplishments are thor
ough. She may be epigrammatically
described as the philosopher refined out
Of his angularities and eccentricities and
femininiZed. She heard OF her father s
nomination first in London, Mr.. Smally
of the Tribune, having telegraphed her
mother at once on receiving notice Of it,
and, as she admits naively, was glad
to hear it," She indorses his proposed
nomination at the Baltimore Couven-
ton, and, IN the event of it, believes he
viii be elected. She does not advocate
woman suffrage, but if she could vote
sht would vote for Mr.. Greeley. which
she thinks the woman sutfragists as a
party would not be likely to do"

Avoice from the South.

We commend the following noble
sentiment to the perusal of every Dem.
ocrat in the land. Coming, as it does.
from Southern State, it fully and
truthfully exhibits the feeling of the
people of that section. The Memphis
appeal says:
The people must choose between
Grant and Greeley; between reform and
c 'rruption; betwe II civil law, guarded
liberty and the worst of misrule; be-
tween honesty and dishonesty; between
forgetfulness of the fierce passions OF
war, and their perpetuation. We say
Grant and Greeley, for we cannot be
brought to believe that the strong, clear
light cast by the events of the past week
has left any Democrat in doubt as to
himself--to his country. Grant repre-
sents the mailed hand of the war which,
through the clangor of arms ceased sew
en- ars ago, still holds the South as in
vice. More than six years since, Mr..
Greeley raised the banner of .Amnes
ty and Equal Rights. 1t found little
favor then with those who looked to
him for guidance. But he bore it aloft
through sunshine and storm, through
evil and good report; distrusted by the
men to whom he applied.
When the ex-President of the South
ern COnfederacy needed bondsman o
secure his liberatlon f.om prison. it Was
Mr.. Greedy who stepped forward; not
hat he abated a jot of his opposition to
the cause of which Mr.. Davis was the
most conspicuous representative. for b.
did not; not that be admired Mr.. Davis
politically or personally, for he did not
But be thought that time had come for
that charity to all and malice to
none, which the dead Lincoln SO SOL
emnly invoked almost with his dying
breath. He threw himself in the breach
between the angel of peace and, the black
Molock yet lowering over the corses of
the heroes whose bones whi.ened the
valleys and the hillsides of the dessolate
South. As he stood there then, firm as
granite, unmoved by the whirlwind OF
passion and prejudice, which madly
dashed against him, so stands he to-day.
still waving that banner, which q peo-
pie now hail with rejoicing as harbin
ger of peace. What change a few
short years have wrought! How the
world has moved since that day at Ap-
pomattox! Time at last sets all things
even. Smouldering embers of the late
strife. SO long famed by passion, show
but here and there vital spark. Ma
levolence and prejudice cannot again re-
store them to life. Let them die and be
forgotten. while the country presses
forward to its newer and higher des-
hnies. The Cincinnati Convention drove
the last nail in the coffin wherein repo-
ses the CHASTITY skeleton of the sectional
bitterness left as heritage of the war
The resolutions rung out clear, strong
notes of newer and better National
life. They buried the past. and CAV
well-grounded hope of the future
They breathed peace, amity, law and lib
erty.

remarkable water spout near Golden, Col, on

two girls were drowned 1t says:
'People residing in the vicinity report having
seen, just above the higher mountains numer-
GUS dense clouds, from which a conical pillar re
sembling condensed vapor was seen TO descend
and almost simultaneously deafening peal Of
thunder was heard. Mr.. Jack Yirdeu, wife, aud
his sister, and Miss Blood, daughter of Lyman
c. Blood, all of whom resided some five or six
miles up the canon, had been TO Golden, and
were returning home in a double carriage
when the peal of thunder came and the water
spout dispersed.
Presently violent commotion, with confusion
of sounds, like the tumult of the clements was
heard high up in the mountains. Then came
tremendous torrent of water, bearing trees and
boulderS, and calculated TO astonish and terrify
by its magnitude, force aud violence The
horses, seeing that they were TO be sacrificed
TO this prodgiOus volume, took fright, aud shy
ing to one side, upset the carriage, and all occu-
pants were pitched into the bottom of the gulch.
In an instant, as it were, and before they could
recover their feet, the wave, with perpendicular
breast OF ten or twelve feet, was upon them, and
licked them up like the sands of the gulch.

a miraculous chance, got hold of limb, and

current, to an appalling death.

The name of John NJ. S. Williams was pub
lished last week as one of the 'iberal republican
state committee" 1t seemed very improbable
that Mr.. Williams would allow his name to be
so used, or that he sympathized in any degree
with the faction which has assumed the name of
Liberal republicans" We have since been as
sured that such use of his name was unauthor-
lied, and in the New York Times of yesterday
we find the following letters:
Boston, July Is, 1872.
Editors Ne,C York Tribune;

day, my name is quoted as one of the liberal
republican state committee of Massachusetts.

as public as the original unfortunate notice, and

RESULTS OF THE POWELL EXPEDITION
| Clement Powell, writing to the Chicago Tri-
bune from Windsor Castle, Utah, April 9th,
Saysf
Fourteen hundred miles of tortuous and al.
most inaccessible river have been mapped by
the civil engineers. A continuous sketch of the
left wall of the Colorado and Green has been
made by pellcnbaugh. His portfolio is also
full of miscellaneous drawings. Nearly 1000
steroscopic views have been obtained. Many
can never be duplicated; most are pictures of
scenery as grand as the Yosemite, as wonderful
as the Yellowstone, and less known than either.
An accurate survey will soon be completed of
the valley of the Colorado and tributary streams.
The Base Line three miles from Utah and Ar-
IONA boundaries, will form the basis OF future
section, county, and state surveys The differ
ence in time between this point and Chicago is
one and three-fourths hours. The minerals of
the country traversed have been examined, and
specimens obtained. The most important are
silver copper and coal. Gold is very fine, and
pacer-diggings have also been discovered. The
report of the geological corps will be of
great interest. Much new information will
be added, and studies in structural
geology completed. Fossils of bones,
plants, fishes and coralS have been
shipped in large quantities. We find evidences
of large fresh water lakes, remains of curious
animals, forests turned to stone. Sillicfed tree
circumference, are scattered over the desert,
drifted over the sand-remindng one of the
broken columns of the Nile. The plants of Utah
have been gathered and classified. Mr.. Thomp-
son has over 200 varieties. They will appear in
late editions of standard works on botany. Mai
Powell has given especial attention TO Indian
lore. He has made vocabularies of the Ute
tongue, learned their traditions, religious rites,
and tribal laws. He speaks the gibberish of the
various tribes, and probably is the most
thorough student of their iargon of any white
man now living. Specimens of the implements
of war and husbandry, products of the industry
and skill of American Indians, from the Mound
Builders and Aztecs to the Utes and Navajoes,
are being collected in as complete sets as posi-
BILE; also blankets, and robes of rabbit and wild
cat skins. The arrows alone are suggestive of
the power and prowess of the warriors who use
them. The Pan-Ute bows have sinew backs
The Navajo arrows have iron heads, and are
feathered. With one of these arrows they can
shoot man through and through at fifty yards
