The Cincinnati Commercial is puzzled
to know why Mr.. Bcecher, an old friend
and admirer Of Mr.. Greeley, should oppose
him so persistently for the Presidency !;
but there is nothing strange about it.
Many a man is an efficient worker in one
department Of business, who would prove
an utter failure at another, and it is no
disgrace that he cannot succeed in every
thing. Mr.. Beecher admires the pluck,
selfreliance and industry which made one
of the ablest journalists of his time
out Of one of the greenest specimens
of a journeymen printer that ever stub
bed his toes on the rocky hill-sides of
the Green Mountain State. Mr.. Gree
ley has done many things excellently
and well, but That is no sign he can do
everything well, and Beecher knows it.
Probably no man in America has painted
with his pen the ineffable meanness and
corruption of the Democratic party as
faithfully as Horace Greeley, nevertheless,
that does not go to show that he would be
able to manage that crowd if he should be
elected Chief Magistrate" Andy johnson
was an excellent tailor, and gave good fits !;
but what a miserable botch he made of
the Presidency. And it is because Mr..
Beecher knows Greeley SO well, that he
objects to his election to an office he has
no qualifications to fill:

ANOTHER Southern business man pre-
sents his views on the political situation.
He has long been o resident of New Orleans,
and is a Democrat, but claims never to
have held a political office. In a private
letter to a friend, he writes
"Warmoth is endeavoring to produce a
conflict between the blacks and whites
which, if successful, would result in a war
of races. The negroes placed Warmoth in
power, under Oscar j.. Dunn's, leadership,
and they discovered the viper they had
warmed land as o class are decidedly OPP
posed to him. Hence he desires to create a
white mans party The only salvation
for the South is Grants reelection, for there
are still those who thiuk that the war is not
yet over. They are few in number, how
ever, and Grants reelection will dispel the
illusion" 4,
The Chicago Times, which it is idle to
deny represents q large number of Dem
ocratic voters, gives up the party in de-
spair:
The nomination of Mr.. Greeley at Balti-
more will terminate the organic existence
Of the Democratic party. In that act, the
party organization will abdicate its func-
tons, and, of course, with such abdication,
the idea of party allegiance will cease. For
there is no such thing as party allegiance
to men, to candidates, or to con-
ventions Such allegiance is due only to
principles. Party organizations are moth
ing but instrumentalities by which some
aggregate of persons seek to convey certain
principles into effect. When the instru-
mentality ceases to act for that purpose, or
is perverted by scheming individuals to diff
ferent purposes Gas the nomination for Office
of a declared enemy of the principles CT
the party, it ceases to exist as a party au-
thority. ra
The nomination or "endorsemento of Mr..
Greeley at Baltimore has therefore placed nc
person holding Democratic principles under
the slightest obligation to cast his vote fol-
Mr.. Greeley. 1t is the ~disbandment
of the party, and the surrender Of all its
delegated authority to the members who
delegated, to be used by one and oil of them
as in their judgment may seem proper, thus
leaving Democrats wholly without an or
ganization, and perfectly free to act as tc
each individual shall seem fit.
That the Times, in no case, will ruppolt
Greeley, is now beyond question.

STATISTICS.

Statistics are published of the
number of Union soldiers inferred
in the different National cemeteries
in the original military division OF
the Tennessee, consisting of Ken
lucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Geor-
gia and Mississippi. 1t is a sad
record of the sacrifices of the war
for the Union, and if ever figures
were eloquent these certainly are.
The total number of interments in
the twenty National cemeteries in
the states named aggregate 114,647
of this number 52,4S6 are known,
and 62,161 of unknown soldiers.
Some of the figures are as follows:
Andersonville, 1851; Chattanooga,
I1,s43; Memphis, 14,961; Nashville
l6,4S6, and Vicksburg, 1866.

COOL.

Mr.. Greeley fancies himself mas
ter of the situation. To the Repub-
icans he says: "Select you ever so
worthy man at Philadelphia, and
l will still disturb the harmony by
remaining in the field" To the
Democracy he says, endorse me at
Baltimore, or remain in the minori-
ty another four years" He sub
mits his pretensions to Republicans
and Democrats alike, yet declines
to abide the judgment of either. He
will go in to the Democratic con-
vention, take its nomination if he
can, or in default, repudiate its ac-
ton if he chooses! Was ever such
arrogance known before? The Re-
publican party resents it with be-
coming resolution; the Democracy
may do as it pleases.

RuMoRs ABOUT SECRETARY BOUT
WELL.

The assertion of some of the
Journals that Boutwell, is desirous
to secure Henry Wilson's place in
the Senate in case he can secure the
nomination is certainly not author
lied by him. 1t is the opinion of his
best friends that it is alike for his
interests and that of the country
that he should remain in the Treas
ury Department to finish the work
which he has SO ably begun; and
that at the second term of his labors
he will be rewarded for his pre-emi-
nent services and integrity with the
highest gift of the American people.
Let him stand by his guns for four
years more and he will be Grant,
natural successor. .
