spiouous is tinis characteristic of Mr..

splCuOuS Is LuIo characteristic OF MIR.
Greeley that mis- enemies are nearly
always constrained to ooncede it even
while endeavoring to injure him. The
term honest. does not mean simply that
Mr. Greeley would not steal. Even
Grant is not accused OF stealing, yet you
never hear one speak Of honest Grant.
It means that Horace Greeley is true,
honest in his convictions and fearless in
their utterance; man who does right
because he believes it to be right, and re-
gardless OF what others may say or do.
We have conspicuous instance Of
this in his signing Davis bond. the
magnanimous tone he assumed towards
the South the day after Lees surrender,
etc. It is the highest encomium which
can be pronounced upon any man, for
it bespeaks him "the noblest work of
God"
Greeley is the exact converse of Grant,
both mentally and morally. He is of an
active. vigorous and aggressive mind
mostly right, sometimes wrong, but
always actuated by high motives Of un-
selfish philanthropy. He has been the
unswerving, out.spoken, earnest and ir-
repressible advocate of tho rights of tho
poor and the oppressed at all times, in
season and out Of season, and it is
this which invests the man with that
magnetism that draws the public heart
so strongly to him. He will, we
believe, excite more genuine enthu-
siasm than any Presidential candidate
since Jackson. He has already no in
considerable Republican strength de-
veloped in New York. Pennsylvania, In
diana, Illinois, Ohio, Arkansas and in
other States; and when he shall have
been endorsed at Baltimore, and put
squaroly and unoonditionally in the field,
thousands Of other Republicans will de-
clare for him who are now holding back
for fear of straight Democratic nomi-
nation.

A Herald special, dated Washington,

A Herald special, dated Washington.
June "a, says:
Positive information has reached me
from an undoubtedly reliable source,
that the Spanish war vessels have strict
orders to seize and sink the American
steamers Virginius and Edgar Stewart
wherever they may be found outside of
neutral ports. Thus. if the Virginius
were to leave Puerto Caballo, Venezuela,
where she has taken temporary refuge,
she would be pounced upon and de-
stroyed at once by the Spanish war
steamers Arapides and Pizarro, which
are lying in wait for her at that port.
The instructions of the Spanish naval
commanders, it is said, admit of wide
construction, and the Virginius is liable
to capture as soon as out of the reach of
the guns Of the Venezuelan fort. The
commanders of the Spanish war vessels
are only so far limited in their instruc-
tions as to avoid armed conflict with
neutral powers.

The DIAMOND FIELDS OF AFRICA
The latest news from the Cape of Good
Hope by mail is not encouraging to the
hopes of the diamond diggers or OF those
who expected to sparkle into wealth
suddenly at the mines. Tue Herald, Of
Port Elizabeth. says: Diamonds are
still most difficult to sell. We have not
heard of any sales lately worth speaking
Of. At the public sale in Maritzburg, a
few lots were disposed of. but they were
30 small as to be scarcely worth taking
notice of. The general feeling here
seems to be that the diamond fields have
seen their best days" Money was
plenty and the banks imported specie
freely, 80 that the coined value wns likely
to be maintained despite the temporary
sheen of the new found equivalent-an
interesting fact in the history of the
solidarities of commerce.

How THREE MEMBERS OF ONE FAMILY

BECAME EINsANE--Turnkey Geo. McKeou
yesterday conveyed Patrick Craven and
his sister to the Poughkeepsie Insane
Asylum, where their brother had already
been confined. On the trip down, they
were continually employed in giving
utterance to expressions of affection for
each other, and for another brother.
Rev. Father Craven, who accompanied
them. Tho clergyman came to this
country some years ago. and recently, at
his desire, his sister and two brothers
followed him. The three bad been well
educated. and brought with them about
So. 900 in money. The omens were all
in their favor, aud the indications
pointed to q successful and happy career
in the land of their adoption. BY nd.
vice OF their brother. the priest, they
purchased farm in Essex County, and
went there to live. They had been
brought up in the strictcst possible muu-
ner, aud taught to have implicit faith in
the Catholic Church. Their affection
for each other was only rivaled by their
devotion to the religion in which they
had been educated. 10 them, hereto
Was the worst possible person, aud all
who did not look upon the chuich with
their eyes WAS unfit for association with
them. Near them, lived fellow -coun.
try man. who, it seems, was IL Free Ma
son. One Of the brothers entered this
mans dwelling, and while there, learned
of his friends connection with tho Ma
sonic order. To him, Mason had
always seemed to be representative Of
the evil one, and when he was npprised
of the fact that he was on intimate terms
with one of the drenled frut.rnity, he
ran from the house. The Incident caused
Il depression Of spirits, which brought
on sickness, and this in turn produced
insanity. The sister watched hy her
afflicted brothers bedside for two weeks
with NIL the devotion Of which woman
is capable, and wore herself out in minis
tering to him. at last, her strength
gave way, and she became i'll herself
Her discuse resembled brain fever, but
when she recovered her physical power,
it was found that she, too, was maninc
The double misfortune preyed upon the
mind of the other brother, whose reason
also soon fled, and these three persons,
devoted to their religion and to each
other, became irrational beings. One
brother was conveyed to the insane asy
lum at Ponghkeepsie two weeks ngo.
The sister was placed in the hospital in
this city, and the other brother removed
to Malone, where he subsequently at
tempted to take his own lite. 1t WAS
determined early this week to send these
two to the insane asylum also, and yes
terday they were placed there by Turn
key McKeon and their sane brother, the
priest, whose grief ut plrting with them
is beyond the power of words to de-
scribe. Great tears rolled down his
cheeks, and he seemed to be almost
heart broken. Tho oulv relief to the
sombre color ng of this recital is the
statement of the physician in charge of
the asylum, which is to the effect that
their cases are not entirely hopeless.

with appended are derived from a re-
sponsible source, and an anxiety to pre-
vent other communities from being i'm
posed upon, induces us to give publicity
to this statement. One L. Cary Cole
married lady of high respectability in
this County, and afterwards decamped
from this section, leaving his family
without protection. He went to Flori-
da, and there married another lady.
When the facts became known, he was
indicted for bigamy and lodged in JUL.
The proof was abundant to secure his
conviction. but be made his escape on
the 23d of May last from the Jail of Co

heard from since. He is about forty we
years old, five feet ten inches, weighs
about 165 pounds, has blue eyes. coarse
auburn hair, with beard nearer red
thnu any other color, and possesses a
mean countenance. according to our in-
