Our nearest Greeley neghbor cites from the
New York Sun a story In which John Speer, of
Kansas, an ex-collector of internal revenue,
figures 1t represen ts that this Speer cheated
the government to the extent Of over Sl61 900,
and was let off on refunding S11 900. This
story has not been heard of anywhere outof the
columns of the sun, except when copied from
that sheet; and yet our Greeley friend, who evil
IDENTITY has no faith in it, closes his remarks as
follows: "If there is a correction to be made
or an explanation to be given, there should not
be any more delay about it than is absolutely
unavoidable" Does our neighbor believe, really
and honestly, that the administration should
make formal reply to every malignant false
hood of the New York Sun2 1t is well known
everywhere that the New York Sun is the most
INSCRIPTIONS liar and libeller on the continent.
Should the administration make business of
exposing its lies, it would not have time for
much else.
The supporters of Greeley, who quote the Sun
and show such eagerness to calumniate the adj
ministraton, can not be expected to notice
official figures which spoil their stories. Were
it otherwise, they would take notice of an off,
cial statement of the treasury department,
which shows that the whole loss to the treasu-
ry, from defaulters, under President Grants adj
ministration, will not amount to one-ffth of the
sum specified in the Suns story OF Speers case.
This villainous story is direct assault on the
integrity of Mr.. Boutwell,. Is he so destitute
of character that he must jump up and Eek
plain" every time Charles A. Dana's paper lies
about him? A respectable independent jour
nall should be incapable of circulating the
story

ments The distance, 214 miles by the route
taken, was accomplished in ffty-seven hOurs-a
rate Of about three miles and three-quarters per
hour. On part of the route the speed was
greater, though six miles was the highest speed
made; and on the heavy portions of the road
the rate was only two miles, and even less.
From the penalty attached to slow riding or
halting came the pToyerbial saying Of riding
for your life" which saying is usually supposed
to refer to flying from an enemy. From the
taking Of private letters by the bearers of gov
eminent dispatches arose the wonderful con-
yeniences of the modern postal arrangements.
1t was from this circumstance that the trans
mission of the mails has come to be portion of
the duties of governments. The transmission
of government dispatches by special messen-
gers, offered facilities TO the public, which, as
correspondence increased, were more and more
valued and improved; and the advance of civil
ization and commercial intercourse is largely
due to the facilities of mail transportation. The
wonders of the telegraph, great as they are, as
yet are but partially developed. What two
hundred years of telegraphing will do for the
world, it would be rash to attempt TO predict
But we know that the changes that have been
consequent upon the progress and perfection Of
the mail system bear bur small proportion to
what has already resulted from a little more
, than a quarter of a century of the telegraph.

One of the most lamentable consequences of
Greeley's conspiracy to secure democratic votes,
is that his operations threaten to battle the at
tempts 10 secure reform in New York city. His
supporters in the city consist chiefly OF the crea-
lures controlled by the thieving rings. Tweed,
Sweeny, and Hall are at work for him, with Ben
Wood and his gang; and he has the same class
shouting for him in Brooklyn. They propose to
renominate Gov. Hoffman, and by means of
Greeley and the Tribune, recover the ground
they have lost. The changed spirit of the Tri-
bune is manifest in many ways. 1t has ceased
TO attack the ring thieves of Brooklyn and
become their apologist 1t is extremely
forbearing towards those of New York
who support its candidates, and the infa-
nous judges of that city would feel safe, if
there were none but Mr.. Greeley and the Tri-
bune to deal with them. 1t excuses and de
tends the course pursued by McCunnS counsel
at Albany, while even the World has the grace to
describe it as altogether unworthy of the
meanest shyster who ever cleared client in
hold the ring thieves and judges and their army
of roughs; but it docs not win the more re.
spectacle democrats of the city, who stand
aloof, and will not, it is said, support Mr.. Gre"

The ORIGINAL PosT SERvIcE.-While all the

Professor Morse, OF telegraph fame, the mind
naturally reverts from the great facilities for
communication VIC now have TO those of the
good old times" we near so much about Ii is
not very long time since there were no post
offices even in England Government carriers
were the only bearers of letters, except the
common carriers, whose principal business was
the conveyance of parcels. These couriers were
under martial law, and in the time of Henry
VIII. were subject to the penalty of hanging
Tor delay upon the road with their dispatches

sequently sometimes ornamented with q cheer.

The civilized Indians of the Indian territory
are making an effort to avert the threatened
raid upon the Texas frontiers by the KiOwas.
They propose TO send several influential Indians
from their tribes to seek out the Kiowas, and
invite them to peaceful council with delega-
ton from the Indian territory, who will lay before
them the inevitable destruction that must result
from continued hostility to the whites, and also
paint in attractive colors the advantages that
will flow from peace and friendship. The COM
mission, it is said, will consist OF the most in
fluential and sagacious men Of the nations and
the meeting is appointed for July %. Among
the numerous devices employed to pacify dis
contented Indians, we believe this scheme has
not before been tried. 1t is as promising as
any, however, and it is at least worth trying
whether the Indians who have proved their ca
pacity for some measure of civilization have any
success 10 convincing their still savage brethren
of the advantages of different mode of life.

The Chattanooga correspondent of powerful
Greeley paper undertook to interview his barber,
but Mr. Johnsing chose to do the interviewing
himself:
What is the name of your paperp
"rhe Commercial"
"Oh, yes; Eve seen that lots of times. A good
many copies come down here. It's IA Grant paper,
amt itp'
"No; it's a Greeley paper"
ooh, thought it was republican"
$50 it is"
"Whata Republican and for Greclcy2"
Certainly"
ut supported Seymour, didn't t?"
mot at all"
THAT sounds curious to me. How could a
paper be against Seymour and for Greeey?"
because Seymour was a democrat"
well, so is Greeley"
You are much mistaken; Greeley is repub.
lican."
My barber looked amazed He opened his
eyes to near the size of ordinary shaving mugs.
u don't understand il; ] can't see how re-
publican can be running on democratic ticket.
There is something loose somewhere"
He is not running on a democratic ticket"
Then the democrats are nightly fooled, for
they think he is"
mo, indeed, they don't"
But they are all going for him about here.
JUST look how II is: every republican is for
Grant, aud every democrat is for Greeley, Ii
looks to me like he is running the same way
Seymour did. The people are divided, lust like
what they were then, only in place of Seymour
Greeley has come out | don't know ANYTHING
about the platform, as they call H.; look at the
thing Just as 1t is before the people,"

Indians defense is so complete that there ought
10 be no ground for apprehension. For in the first
place, what they ask, the government should
grant to nobody, however meritorious his case
might seem, and in the second place, these men
and their schemes are so VIGOROUSLY unworthy
that they should receive no mark of favor, how
ever insignificant.
The time for land grants aud subsidies to rail-
roads has gone by. They were useful and
necessary when the system of building long
lines Of railroad across cheap and unOccupied
lands was new and untried. The Pacific rail
road was a political as well as a commercial
necessity; its construction and working involved
problems whose solution financiers and railroad
managers would not lightly undertake, and the
government, when determined to have the road,
was obliged to bid high enough to induce capital
lists TO incur the risk. These problems are now
solved; the urgent necessity is supplied, and
new undertakings ought to be left to stand or
fall on their commercial merits. Because one
favored land grants formerly, consistency does
not require him to advocate further extension
of the system, and, conversely, because one
believes the land grant schemes now urged to
be jobs, he need nor hold that all land grants
have been robberies of the public.

THE FRENCH Bow-There are many pro-

| feSsors of tine nO0le esoherate utyS, ulIlefehces
| are even in tl,.he exact nature and ordination
| "r1oini~.' ements which compose a bow; but
cc Generally adopted practice of the best mod
'ern school is after this wise:
When you meet lady that you know, you
begin, four yards off, by calmly raising your
outside arm, right or left as the case may be-
There must be no precipitation in the move
nent, and the arm must be maintained at q GER
tain distance from the body, with sort of
roundness in its curve and motion; that is, it
must not come up too direct, and especially not
too fast. When the hand arrives at the level
of the hat rim, it must seize it lightly,
slightly, with about half the length of the
fingers it must slowly lift the hat, and
slowly carry it out in air to the fullest length of
the gradually-eXtended Strengthened arm; but
not in front, it must 90 out sideways, horizon
tally from the chest, and on a level with the
shoulder; this part of the operation must last
several seconds. simultaneously the hat must
be turned over by calculated, gradual move
ment, in exact proportion with the progress of
its passage through the atmosphere, so that,
starting perpendcularly with the crown upward
it may describe complete sem-circle on its
road, and reach the extreme limit of its dis
lance at the precise instant when it has become
upside down, and the lining azes at the skies
AT the instant when the hat is lifted from the
head the body begins to slightly bend, the intec-
ton being so organized that the full extent of
curving of the spine shall be attained concurrent
ly with the greatest distance of the hat. A
slight respectful smile is contemporaneOusly
permitted TO flicker furtively about the corners
of the mouth. Then the hat comes slowly
sweeping back again, its inward motion pre-
senting the exact inverse Gifts outward journey;
the back grows straight once more, the smile
disappears, the hat resumes its accustomed
place, the bow is over, the face grows grave,
and you, the author of that noble act, murmur
within Yourself 81 think did that rather we'll"
