accord on the Know nothing" ques-
ton that their difference was one
of degree rather than of kind. The
truth is quite otherwise. They diff
fered as follows:
/. Henry Wilson, after applying
unsuccessfully for admission to the
Know nothing lodge in his town
(Natick). tried'agail in Boston. and
gained admission. Mr.. Greeley, on
the other hand. never in his life en-
tered, nor sought to enter, a Know
nothing lodge, council, or conventicle
of any kind.
2. Henry Wilson, being himself
the Republican candidate forg gov, nor
in 1854, himself voted and induced
others to vote for Henry ]. Gardiner,
the Know nothing" candidate. Mr..
Greeley, on the contrary, voted that
year and every year for the, Republi-
can as against the rival American
or Know nothing" candidates.
We have no wish to magnify this
difference. preferring to figbtto- day s
battle on to-day's issues. It is the
untruth of the Pose and the Ttmes,
rather than the crooked ways oil
Henry Wilson, that we now especial
ly condemn.-M r Tribune.

Chaplain bill. with WHICH he graced
the s,atu es of The United afes at
the outbreak of the war; In his pie
ty aud patriotism the Senator then
proposed q bill. and pressed it
through Congress, in hurry, in
which 1t was enacted that the re2i-
meuts should he given Christian
cnaplains. and that all Jewish cler-
S,luen should be excluded from
those appointments. Many of our

Not thousand miles from Broad

gentleman, with bis wife and two
daughters. Several years ago young
gentleman Of our city became partic

ladies. much to the annoyance ana

their persuasion with their child TO
stop, If possible, any further attach

The Young couple had then to resort

AuUMILITATING SPECTACLE.

The Boston Post stigmatizes the
spectacle exhibited by the Grant
cabinet as Illuminating and withou: Il
parallel in our Republican hi story.
Rpbeson, Secretary Of the Navy,
transported his carriage and horses
on n government vessel to Ports
mouth, whence he made electioneer-
ing excursions into Maine, speaking
from the stump and actively employ
ing all the arts of the consum late
deniaSogue. He was thus using the
peoples money to ohstruct their free
choice in the election. Creswell
who reported secession resolution
in Maryland. only three weeks be-
fore the Inauguration of President
Lincoln, also travels about and tells

whelmed with a sense Of responsible
ity, and goes round mouthing his
plaititudes aud fattering himself that
he compreheuds the business he was
set to do for the country. Wilson is
running here and there almost with
out aim, aad certainly, without in
sight into the meaning OF this strug-
gle. Grant exhibits himself in dumb
show from railroad car platforms
and tavern windows. They are every
one busy with their work, and for
the time have abandoned their duties,
aud given over the claims of the
country upon their official attention.
Boutwell, declared that it was suf1i
cient ground for President Johnson s
impeachment that he suffered one OF
his cabinet to do what he is himself
openly doing for Grant.
Such are the men who will retain
office if Grants reelection scheme
carries. The question il do the peo.
pile want such public servants in
their employ? Is it safe to entrust
the affair of a great nation to such
hands?
