County, Pennsylvania, to which none were
invited but Democratic Grant men. That
s'tidal wave' is rolling on. 81
The Republicans of Indiana are hard at
work and show by fair estimates that
they will carry the State in October by about
5000 majority.
Senator Wilson, in an interview with a
New York Herald reporter, says that we
shall carry all the free States with exception
of two-New Hampshire and New York-and
in these two there are strong hopes OF victory.
1t is stated that so much dissatisfaction
exists among the straight-out Democrats in
the nomination of +. A. Pike, that move
ment has been set OF foot to nominate a
Democratic candidate to run against him.
The name mentioned as a candidate in con-
nection with this movement is Gen. Frank
| Nickerson of Searsport. l--tlNA Z
The Pittsburg Dispatch says certainly Gree
| ley journals evince uneasiness about the
| Louisville Convention, and are not disposed
to make SO much fun over it as they were.
| The probability that Hon. Charles O'Conor
of New York will be nominated for President
by the ''Straight-outs'' is causing them sharp
] misgivings about the Democratic vote. They
know that he is a man Of integrity and faith
full to his principles, and that he will merit
ard obtain the support of every honest mem
Der of the party. With the North Carolina
election and the nomination of Mr.. o. Conor
at Louisville in September, and Republican
victories in October, the Democrrtic- Con-
sentative ticket will have indeed hard row
to hoe between now and November next
Brick POmeroy has sent dispatch to
Georgia in answer to one asking him whether
Charles O'Conor would accept the Louisville
nomination, if rendered him, in which Pom
eroy expresses the belief that O'Conor iavors
the movement, and also that Greeley stock
is rapidly on the decline, and that the Sage
cannot carry the State of New York.

A Scholars Opinion of Horace.

Eli Perkins of the Commercial Advertiser
has interviewed President White of Cornell
University. In answer to question as to
his opinion of Horace Greeley Nj. White
says:
''Why, he's a failure. He's failed in every
thing yet. We sent him to Congress, and
what did he do? Why, he left the grand ma
tional issue of freedom and slavery to strug-
gle on without his aid, and then tiddled away
his time on pcayune one horse scheme like
the mileage question. He's always penny
wise and pound foolish. He would hold up
cent before his eyes and because he couldn't
see the dome of st. Peter he would swear
and set the world on fire to make people be-
lieve that the cent was the biggest If he
was President he would get some two-cent
scheme in his head like the franking privi-
lege, and let broad questions on which the
happiness and prosperity of the nation de-
ponds go to the small dogs who hedge in
around the White House, He's a narrow,
fussy, prejudiced, vacillating, picayune man.

WE shall hereafter insist that behind the
mild and benignant face of the travelling Phil
osopher of the Tribune there is just grain of
malice, even if it is sportiye. Not content with
home thrust in his City Hall speech at one of
his showmen when he abused carpet-baggers,
yesterday, at Brunswick, he struck out from
the shoulder as follows: IKE
Notwithstanding the caricatures with which
you have been abundantly inundated, you find
that still preserve something of the human

Through an error in making up our paper
yesterday, the report of Gov Austn's speech
at City Hall, on Wednesday night, was omitted,

remarks, though brief, owing to the latsness
of the hour at which Gov. Noyes closed, were
exceedingly happy and telling, especially his
hearty assurances respecting the political stu
alton in the West and his amusing account of
his attempt to chase down the ignis .fat,eus of
great revolution Greeleyward, which, like
the agne fever, is always prevalent in some To-

Yesterday U. S. steamer Tallapoosa, Lieut.
Commander d. G. McRitchie with detachment
of naval cadets for instruction, visited our har-
Dor, and to-day the ship was opened to the in
spection of our citizens whom the gallant cap
tain received with courteous transformation,
which contributed much to the pleasure of his
friends and neighbors, the captain being a res
ident of and having an interesting and promis-
ing family in Wiscassct. The Tallapoosa sails
tomorrow for Boston direct 1t is the second
visit OF this ship to our waters, where the Brit
ish A Rainbow, Commodore Collier, Sept 10,
1777, appeared with opened broadsides for the
capture of French mast Ships and took Judge
Rice and David Sylvester, Esq, and held them
as hostages for the good behavior of our citi-
zens of that day. Here also the u S. steamer
Missouri, soon after she was launched, Com
mander Newton, made a voyage. The Teuedo.
aad Bulwark operated below in 1912, capturing
battery on Fowles Point without venturng
to push her barges under the heights of
'Daggett's Castle" or to run the gauntlet of
the earthworks on Chase's Point and Chere-
misquam Island, where old Fort Mcdonald
still frowns upon the narrows of the Sheepscot
waters. AS we stepped ashore we heard echo
ing from the bow, as the boat hook pierced

was not the boatswain's voice, and it was the
only incident indicating the ferment of seeth-

The mills of the gods, it is said, grind slow,

The Jason of this argonautic expedition no

BURLINGTON, Town, Nov. L.
70 The Editor Of The Chicago Tribune:
s17: entirely agree with you, and your cor
respondent I'll, !" on this most important sub
ject- There is no human prejudice that is more
absurd than the objections which are made to
the use Of steam in the streets Of cities, as
means Of accommodating those who live at dis
lance in the suburbs and do business in the buBi-
ness portions. The leading objection always is,
that horses will be frightened Considering
what sagacions creature city horse is COM
PEELED to be, and how totally Indifferent he be-
comes to the noises Of locomotive, this is no
objection at all. Regarding the greatest good
