Senators bay ard and stockton Out for
| s Greeley.
Correspondence of the Cincinnati Commercial.
NEW YORK, July Ex-senator Bayard, of
Delaware, and Senator Stockton, of New
Jersey, make their appearance in print to-
day as Greeley converts. Senator Bayard
gives his adhesion in an eloquent letter of
some length, and Senator Stockton made
an animated speech at Weldon, North Caro-
lima, yesterday, report of which is tele-
graphed here. He said he had always
been Democrat, and never scratched a
Democratic ticket. He could hardly
say when he had been converted,
but believed it was on the cars the previous
night. At the Baltimore Convention he had
voted against Horace Greeley, and had
written to bis constituents saying that cap
tains should not be the first to desert, but
that the high court of appeals OF the Demo
cratic party had spoken, and was TO be obey
ed. IL was not to be disguised that the
South nominated Greeley. Democratic Sem
ators had told him that Greeley was the right
man % nominate, and they were
right. The North bad made nominations
twice; the South had made this. He and
his friends had taken back
seats, and believed the SCuth had
done wisely and we'll, and he was prepared
to 60 In now and work his best for the elec-
ton Of their candidate. Applause He
had not objected to Mr.. Greeley for any
personal reason. He believed he would
certainly be elected. Il was the wisdom of
Providence which had inspired that unani-
nous nomination and dispelled all the
mists Of the prejudice of his and other
minds. The Divine arm still guided us,
and would lead US through paths of peace to a
restorationof the Constitution. [Applsuse.]
The Alleged Bargain with Democrats
The evening Express says it has the au-
thority of Mr.. Greeley to assert that the
story to the effect that Horace Greeley and
Horatlo Seymour, some time past, made a
bargain whereby Gov. Seymour was to sup
port Greeley for President, and to use bis
Influence to get Greeley nominated for the
Presidency by the Democrats, is deliber-
ately coined lie, made out of whole cloth,
and that it is equally false that any Demo-
crat in high place, low place, or out of
place, has ever limited word of expecta-
ton to Mr.. Greedy as to public Office.
Gard from Deacon Richard smith.
Deacon Richard cmith makes bis appear
ance as a Great American Card-writer in
the Post tonight, to say that the report that
he is not truly loyal to Grant has not
shadow Of foundation in fact. "The use
that has been made Of this report, says the
modest Deacon, "shows that the Greeley
people attach some importance TO my
position. As for Greeley, regard him as
the weakest candidate the opposition could |
have nominated. He will rot, in my
opinion, poll as many votes as a straight |
Democrat. The so-called Liberal Republi- |
cans who adhere to Greeley are, for the |
most part, corruptionists or disappointed |
ofice-seekers, who have been loaded on the |
party. Iregard Ohio and Indiana safe for |
Grant" 40 Deacon Smith complains in
Justice has been done him in these dis
patches, please give him the benefit of his |
diffident correction.
sherman at Berlin Arrogance of |
Prussian Msgnates.
Later letters from Berlin give further par
ticulars of the mutual snabbing that occur
red between Gen. Sherman and Prussian
Mr.. Bancroft gave Sherman
dinner, at which Won Moltke and two or
hires staff officers were present, but owing
10 the apparent assumption of superiority on
one side and consequent disgust on the 9th
or, the two great Generals did scarcely any
hing more than exchange salutations. The
meeting with Prince Frederick Charles pass
I'd off in aboutth same way. 1t was at din
Der given by the German Ambassador at
Rome some time ago, and although Gen.
sherman tried hard to engage Frederick
Charles in conversation, he found it impos-
'ible, as the latter satisfied himself by reply
ng with cool 'yes" or "no" to any re-
mark the General addressed to him, 50 that
finding himself reduced to the necessity of
carrying on the conversation himself, or not
at all, he chose the latter alterna-
i've. Considerably disguised, he fur
her remarked after dinner when
hey had retired to the drawing-room
nat, although Frederick Charles had two
pipes in his hand, one of which he was
smoking, while the General was making
,hese abortive attempts to conversation,
pipe was never offered to him, because, as
be supposed, it was contrary to German ct
quette for a plebian to smoke pipe in the
presence of German prince, and he was,
therefore, left without anything to smoke
until Lieut.. Grant offered him cigar. Bis
1larck was absent in the country, and Sher-
man did not meet him. Gen. Sherman
links German insolence and arrogance
nave grown SO enormously that war be-
ween Russia and Prussia is Inevitable.
