The report that delegations from Washing

On his Sewing around the CIRCLE" from
Pittsburg to Cincinnati, recently, Greeley
made no less than eight electioneering
speeches And very silly speeches they
were, too, YOU may rest assured, says the
Chicago Journal.

Greeley has already, on his present tour,
"gone back" on his secession views, and on
his specie payments hobby. 1t would no
longer be surprising if. when he gets down
in the Bourbon region of Kentucky, he
should recant his temperance theories, says
the Albany Journal.
The Hon. R. NJ. Corwine, who has just
returned from Geneva, says in letter to
Senator Morton that the result Of the arbi-
tration has covered the administration OF
President Grant with glory in no wise

| Mr.. Greeley said, In his Vcksburg speech,
June l, 1871. ~ greet you here as citizens
who will, in time, feel honor in the glory OF
Stonewall Jackson as well as those who were
in the opposing armies; who will glory alike
in the glory of r. 4. Lee, as well as those
who fought against him." This is tolerably
explicit, We should think, and shows that
even at that date II. G. was bidding for
Southerners votes.
According to the Cincinnati Gazette, just
before Mr.. Greeley delivered his speech at
Pittsburg. on Thursday evening, he was ap
preached by Governor Randolph, who sug.
gested to him the subjects to which he should
refer. He listened to him for some time,
and finally, pulling his hat over his eyes,

to the ground the hopes of his supporters
through the North.

Mind you, my friends, Mr.. Bowies Is stat

vet waiting acceptance by moneyed men. On
mage 273, Mr.. Bowles concludes as follows:
"Nen of the East! men of Washington
| lend now few thousands Of men and one
| hundred millions Of money to create new
republic, to marry the nation of the Atlantic
TO the equal, if not greater, nation of the Pa

Such an appeal to patriotic men of means
was worthy Of heed and was needed. / need
not quote from my-own numerous speeches,
lectures and letters, nor from the editorial
letters of Governor Bross to the Chicago
Tribune, and his lectures before the Boards
of trades and capitalists to induce them to
subscribe the millions of money alluded to
by Mr.. Bowles for this great work, nor from
Mr.. Richardson's letters to the New York
Tribune. Their favorable influence in press
ing this enterprise forward is summed up in
Mr.. Bowless dedication of his book, dated
Dec. 25th, 1865, four months after his letter,
as follows:
"This railroad is, indeed, the great work
Of the day, the great want, the revealer and
the great creator of this empire Of ours west
OF the Mississippi. 1t is cheering to find that
since we went over the Plains, labor upon
the eastern end of this road has had new
impetus; to learn that new elements of CAPT.
tai and enterprise have been engaged"
Now Mr.. Bowles wrote truly. The urgent
and patriotic appeals of these representatives
and special correspondents of the New York
Tribune, the Chicago Tribune and the Spring
field Republican, with, perhaps, my humble
aid, based on the personal knowledge we had
acquired by our long and dangerous journey,
was inducing men of wealth to accept the
subsidy offered at first by the Congress OF
1862, and re-offered and improved by ths
Congress of 1864, both of which were sup.
ported and voted for by such distinguished
Senators as Charles Sumner, and Lyman
Trumbull. But these capitalists have beer
denounced ever since by many papers ant
politicians as not better than swindlers, 70
accepting what has been profered and re
proffered by Congress, with the heartiest pop

where others would not hazard their dollars

The lie will be repeated, and probably all
the more loudly because of his denial.

CRIMINAL SECREoY.-The martinets of
the medical profession insist that it is be-
meath the dignity of a regular physician to
advertise. Ifamember ofthe medical fac
ulty should discover an absolute remedy for
any disease, it would be breach of profess
sional decorum to offer the specific for sale
through the journals of the day. Scornng
such prejudices, one of our leading practi-
TONERS is now making known to the public,
through the columns ofover three thousand
newspapers, one of the most comprehensive
remedies for disease that has eN er assuaged
the sufferings of humanity. DR.. WALKERS
CALIFORNIA VINEGAR BITTERs, although a
comparatively new medicine, has already
attracted the attention of millions in both
hemispheres. 1t has been advertised
through all the channels accessible to ad-
vertising enterprise, and the result has been
the preservation of thousands of lives, and
the prevention of an untold amount of ply
steal torture. DR.. Walker thinks that the
"greatest good of the greatest number "is
the true object of medical science, and
hence he steps boldly out of the contracted
circle of professional exclusiveness, and
places his Great Restorative within the
reach of all. its beneficial effect in cases
of chronic dyspepsia, billousness, kidney
disease, govt, diseases of throat and lungs,
rheumatism, nervous complaints and all
disorders of the secretive and eXcretive or
gans, is beyond all estimate. Com.

THE woRKlNGMEN's STRIKE.

The grand finale of concession has been

ing men of New York by the employers
yielding to the eght-hour demand of the
employees, and work has been resumed
by all the trades engaged in the strike,
while it is clear that all who have yet to
make the demand will reach the same
result.
Thus through Washington and New
York, the head and heart of the nation,
the eight-hour system of labor becomes
virtually established throughout the land.
1t is thought that 10000 workmen of
Chicago will strike, followed by those of
other communities where the concession
is not made by the employers.
This will probably end the labor strikes
on the question of time, although it gives
no guarantee against strikes for increase
OF wages, or strikes of trade-unions against
the employment of non society men, or
for other real or imaginary grievances of
working men.
Now it remains to be seen whether
reduction of labor hours will prove q
| blessing or curse to the men who have
so persistenty and successfully sought for

relieved from labor in grOg-shops and
