GREELEY AND THE SOLDIERS

The day previous to the arrival
of Horace Greeley in Pittsburg, the
Soldiers and Sailors assembled in
convention, unanimously passed
the following resolution: '.
Resolved, 4th: "We cherish no
spirit of revenge towards our fellow
citizens of the south; the magnani-
nifty of our late commander-in
chief on the field Of Appomatox
was a sufficient pledge of the Union
army that the bloody chasm' of the
war was closed, and with malice
towards none but with charity to-
ward all, we extend the right hand of
fellowship to all those who except
in good faith the result of the war
and who will extend to every Amer
lean citizen of whatever race or
color the rights which are solemnly
guaranteed by the constitution of
theUnited States and the laws made
in pursuance thereof.
Mr.. Greeley is supposed to be a
man who reads the newspapers, yet
with this declaration confronting
him fairly and squarely in the face,
he stepped out upon the balcony OF
the st. Charles hotel and said,
The city of Pittsburg has recently
witnessed a rehearsal of the pomp
and pageantry, the blazonry and cir
cumstance of civil war. A very
large number of men were collected
here, at vast expense, with the
single purpose of rekindling the
bitterness and hatred, the animosity
and antipathies, the fears and ex-
ultations of civil war, for the ad-
vantage of a political party"
This was a direct contradiction
of the avowal made by the Soldiers
in their Convention. They frankly
acknowledged that they cherished'no
spirit of revenge towards our fellow
citizens of the SOUTH that they ex-
tended ''the right hand offellowship
to all these who accept in good faith
the results of the war" and "with
malice toward none, but with chari
ty for ALL" What could be said
moIe explicitly? Yet Mr.. Greeley,
maddened because of the Conven-
ton and its conciliatory utterances,
took occasion to insult the brave
men who had rescued the Union
from dissolution by attributing to
them motives directly in conflict
with those expressed their resolu
tiOns

Greeley aired his "blo odl
chasm" at every cross roads station
he passed on his 'swing," and il
made a chasm in his party eacl
time.
The Charlestown, West Virginia,
Journal is a Democratic paper, but
it thinks there is no doubt about
the triumph Of Republican princi.
pies in the State on a vote between
Grant and Greeley. The Republi-
cans of the "Old Dominion" feel
confident of carrying the State for
the national ticket.
Senator Conkling's new name for
Liberal Republicans is "Assistant
Democrats. But it is painful to
add that the way they assisted" the
Democracy in Vermont and Maine
was very much like the way the Old
Man of the Sea assisted Sinbad the
Sailor.

The Straightouts of this, 14th

George Heiby of Crawford coun-

Mr. Heiby is a German, and quite
an influential man. Mr.. Berry is
said to have but few friends in
Crawford and Wyandot counties.
We should not wonder at all, il
Heiby would carry pretty heavy
vot especially among the Ger

eReeLEY's "PRoscRIpTIoN" LIE.

Greeley has been peddling along
the line of his ':swing around the
circle" the f,llowing statement,
scarcely a speech in his western
"swing" failing to have it:
They mistake, who say that there
are only two or three hundred left
now, forbidden to exercise the COM
mon rights of American citizens.
1t is not so. There are thousands,
there are five thousand DISTINGUISHED
in the State of Arkansas alone, and
the men who hold them dislranchsed
expect them to carry that State
against us by virtue of that disfran-
chisement.
Mr.. Greeley has repeated that SO
often that he probably believes it
himself. And yet, the truth is not
a single person in the whole United
States Is prevented voting by any
law, of the United States on account
Of his completely with the rebellion
and less than three hundred such
persons are disqualified by United
States law from holding office. The
act which passed Congress and was
approved May 22d, 1872, is this, ver-
batim::
Be it enacted, &C., 1.-TWO thirds of
each House concurrlng therein,
That all legal and political disabili-
ties imposed by the third section of
the fourteenth article of the amend
ments of the Constitution of the
United States are hereby removed
from all persons whomsoever, except
Senators and Representatives of the
ThirtySixth and Thirty-Seventh
Congress, officer in the judicial, mil
itary and naval service of the United
States, heads of Departments, and
foreign ministers of the United
States.
Were there five thousand Arkan
sas citizens in Congress, in the Cab
met, on the United States Bench,
serving as officers in the army or
navy of the United States, or in the
Diplomatic service, at the commence
ment of the war? Even Horace
Greeley knows the supposition of
even one-twentieth of that number
would be absurd. Why then does
he make and repeat such an extra
ordinary story. We are compelled
to ask once more, Is Horace Greeley
a fool, or does he think the public
are fools?

SHOOTING AFFAIR ON THE AVENUE.
Perry Carson and Charles Irving at
War.
.N'OB0DI. HIRT.

About O'Clock this afternoon considerable
excitement was created on Pennsylvania ave-
nue., at the 9Th street corner, by shooting affair
in which Col. Perry Carson and Charles Irving.
both colored politicians of some note in > oath
Washington were concerned. Carson is a mes
senger at the District Executive Office, and
Irving Is an employe OF the Center Market COM
pany.
At the time of the ARRAY the two were heard
in alteration, after which Carson moved across
the street diagonally towards a street car going
up the Avenue, and was followed by Irving,
Carson then drew a revolver and fired a couple
OF shots at Irving when he was seized by OH Ger
Thomas Clements. and i'm the melee was thrown
TO the ground. The officer at the same time
received painful but rot serious blow on the
head from some quarter. Carson, on rising To
his feet, declared his willingness 20 20 with the
oh"er and was taken, together with
irving, to the central guardhouse. On
reaching there another alteration ensued
between the belligerents which was suppressed
10y the officers. ana they were placed in eparate
rooms. From the words banded bet ween them
IL would appear that there had been al old feud
eating back some two years. This had been re-
vlved by an affair at q political meeting
at Island II all the other night, when Irving
seized a colored man by the name of James
Mckinzy, who had proposed three cheers for
Chapman, and threw him down the steps. Car
son on hearing of this occurrence made some re.
marks AZ TO what he would have done had he
been there and Irving had laid his hands on
him. The ARRAY to-day seems TO have sprung
up from this affair, resulting in the pistol firing
stated, i'm which, fortunately, no one Was In
jured.
Carson was subsequently taken to the Police
Court, whence he sent a messenger to John L.
johnson, at the Columbia buildings, on AZ
street, who went his bonds for appearance %
answer the charge of assault and battery on
Irving. The case will be heard in the Police
Court TO- morrow.

The Georgia Election.

1000 REPUBLICANS IN SAVANNAH NOT Al
LOWED TO VOTE.
The following telegram has been received by
Judge Edmunds, secretary of the republican
congressional committee:
SAVANNAH, GA, Oct. 2, lSI2.-Hon. j. NJ Ei-
munds, Chairman Republican Committee: AT
the election held in this city to-day the Greeley
party had full control OF all the polls The
managers were all democrats, and disregarded
the provisions of law, and would not allow
republicans entitled by law to cast their votes.
After attempting to vote for several hours, they
abandoned the polls and went home. Over two
thousand republican voters were deprived of
their right to vote. The good behavior of
the coored men only prevented serious trouble.
Colonel f. Bryant, deputy collector of customs,
was seriously assaulted by the plug ugiies,
who had been appointed special deputy sheriffs.
The very worst class of the white democratic
element were sworn in as special deputy sheriffs.
great outrage upon the rights Of citizens has
been perpetrated. The polls were surrounded
by large body of police armed with muskets.
The sabre club patroled the streets, mounted.
This morning the roads leading to the city were
pcketed, and voters from the country were
driven back, and not allowed to come into the
city to vote. Only four voting places were pro-
vided for eight thousand voters in the country,
and these all in one building.
M. H. HALE,
Chairman Republican Committee.
