Gen. j. D. Imboden has written letter to
Col. Geo. w. Boiling of Petersburg, disclosing
to the public what has long been known as to
Mr.. Greeley's sincere desire to restore the
Southern States to their position in the Union,
on terms honorable to them and conducive to
the paciGcation and well-being of the whole
country. His proposition to President John
son, Immediately after the assassination of Mr..
Lincoln, to submit the terms of settlement to
three Northern and three Southern men-Gen
Lee, one of the latter-indicates fearless,
wise and benignant statesman. The part Mr.
Greeley acted in delivering Virginia from the
carpet-baggers, is stated by Gen. Imboden, who
tells of Mr., Greeley's important agency in the
work at most critical moment. If he had
failed on his second visit to Long Branch, our
doom would have been sealed. Mr.. Wells and
his cohorts would have subjected US to the
same tender mercies that South Carolina is now
enduring.

Suicide hv Drowning,

We learn from the Rockbridge Citizen that
Benjamin w. PANEL committed suicide by
drowning himself in the North River, near
Reynolds Lock, in Rockbridge county, on the
evening of the 30th, ult. The deceased had been
in delicate health for some time previous, and
showed signs of mental arrangement. His alb
berrations took religious turn, and he was
troubled on the subject Of Baptism. Being a
member of the Baptist Church, he took no.
ton to have the rite administered by sprink-
ling. He applied to minister of the Metho-
dist church for that purpose, who, seeing his
mental condition, put him off until Sunday. He
went:home and told someone he could not wait.
On Friday he disappeared, and his body was
found in the river on Sunday. An inquest was
held by j. W. Small, justice, which found a
verdict corresponding with the facts above sta

Rockbridga disheartanafi.

It would seem from thelast Rockbridge Citi-
zen that the good people of that county are on
the brink Of despair in reference to the Rail
road. The following is an extract from long
editorial article of the Citizen of last week:
To-day our Railroad prospects are worse
than they ever were since railroads were first
invented. Since charter and privilege granted
or rather extorted from an unwilling Legisla-
ture for a Valley road six years ago, we have
been the fast and loose" dupes of Baltimore

have been acting mouse in his paws. Every
few weeks we are fsttered with a prospect Of
escape from the thraldom of our hampered
and secluded condition, and as often our hopes
are dashed with the bitterness of disappoint-
ment. Our people are sick, disheartensd, cast
down in spirits and in purse

Louisville Convention


This convention composed of Democratic al
lies of the supporters of Grant, met in Louis
vile, Kentucky, on Tuesday last and were in
session three days. James Lyons of this State
presided over that body. A long letter from
Charles O'Conor was read. This letter de-
monstrated that whilst Mr.. O. Conor deservedly
stands at the head of the legal profession in
this country, he is far from being statesman,
being greatly deficient In practical common
sense. He failed to discuss any of the issues
now before the country. In this letter he in
formed the members of that convention that
he could not consent to be their nominee. John
Quincy Adams Of Massachusetts, in telegram to
Blanton Duncan-the ring-master of this
slde-show-stated that he would consent to be
the nominee for Vice President in case Charles
OConor should be the nominee for President.
but not otherwise.
Notwithstanding O'Conor's letter declaring
he could not consent to be their nominee. that
convention nominated him for President and
Adams for Vice President.
When they informed OConor by telegram
OF his nomination, he telegraphed them that
he would not consent to be their nominee, and
as Adams only agreed to go on the ticket on
the condition that o. onor should head it, the
the convention was left without any nominees.
In this condition of affairs, the convention ad-
Journed sine die, without making any other
nominations. The failure is complete, and
this, like preceding efforts to iniure the ticket
OF Greeley and Brown, will, under Providence,
be the means Of giving it strength.

In Bankruptcy.
In the above styled cases, which were heard
upon the petitions of the Bankrupts for the al
lowance of $4,000 exemption, under the amend
ment to the Bankrupt act, passed by Congress
on the Sth day Of June, 1872, giving Bank
rupts the exemptions allowed by the laws of the
States of their domicil on the lst of January,
1871, his Honor. Judge Alexander Rives, after
patiently hearing long and exhaustive argu.
ments of counsel, decided that such exemptions
could not be claimed by Bankrupts, against
creditors holding liens by judgment or otherwise
or against simple contract-creditors, who were
such prior to the adoption of the present State
Constitution on the 9th July, 1869. The Judge
declined to express nypositive opinion as to the
time when the homestead clause of our Con.
stitution became efectual, but in the course Of
his opinion threw out some pregnant sugges
tons on this subject for the consideration oil
the State courts and bar.
These cases were ably argued by Messrs. Ro
Johnston, Of Botetourt, Whose argument wal
submitted in writing E. E. Boudin, Harrison
Robinson, James M. white, Judge William
Daniel, Jr., and Charles e. Dabney.
