REpUBLIcANs FOR GREEEEY TT

REPUBLICANS FOR GREEEEY. The Enquire,
wants to know Mr.. Greeley's strength among
Republicans We quote from the Utica IN.
- Observer
The Republican feeling in favor of Greedy
is not stronger, but it is more freely expressed,
in the country then in the city. From hun
dred sources we have learned during the past
three weeks that in the villages and farming
districts of central New York scores of men who
have been steady supporters of the Republican
Administration heretofore-me who took nc
interest in the Liberal movement when it was
inaugurated : are nov open in their advocacy
Of Greeley These citizens could not by any
stretch of-the Imagination be converted into
'tof6ce seekers or 'soreheads. They are the
thoughtful, Woodworking class, with no other
ambition than to contribute their share towards
sustaining and securing a good government,

Some Precious Secrets.

The World reporter has been interviewing
some member of the Greeley committee in New
York and ascertained that the Philosopher Of
CbappaQua has told friend of his that he in
tended to make Governor Seymour Secretary
of State support Governor Hoffman for re-elec
ton, and support all the Democratic candidates
for Congress-
One would suppose that this budget Of good
news would have filled the heart Of the Dem
ocrstie organ with joy but so far from it, it
cannot repress the expression of the fear that
Mir. Greeley may come into the support of

Its evident, and has been for some time,
that General Grant is intent on continuance
of the law which authorizes him to suspend.
habeas corpus and subject the ballot box to
military control The professed object of tka
friends Of the law is to keep the rebels in chick
and prevent them from numbering all the wards
of the nation in single night, while in terms
the law is general, applies to every portion Of
the Union, and puts Boston, New York, Phila-
delphia as much under Grnnt's thumb as New
Orleans or Richmond These and like loyal
communities imagine that they could not, by
any reasonable devices, be brought within the
drag-pet of an orderly but they might find
themselves mistaken. Should they manifest
the disloyal wish to support Greeley, the can
didate of the disafected they might suddenly
be convinced that they we're as aTant rebels as
if they had raded with Mosby or surrendered

PETTY PRoscRTprIoN.-T Virginia prin-
tiers who had been working for some time in the
Government Printing Office at Washington,
were discharged on Saturday. On that day a
circular was addressed to the compositors in the
Office enquiring whether they were Republicans
or Democrats. The ten Virginians, amongst
whom there were two young gentlemen from
this city answered that they were Democrats
and in less than fifteen minutes they were sum-
marty discharged. Comment on such con-
temptlble petty tyranny and prescription as
this by the best and most paternal Government
the world ever saw, is unnecessary. -Lyncburg

In the legislative session of the Senate on the
18th inst, Mr.. Robertson, from the committee
on political disabilities, reported Senate bill
to relieve the political disabilities of quite "a
number who are not included in the amnesty
act, which has just become law. No action
was taken upon it, The Baltimore Sun says !:
IA list published in New York paper of those
relieved and unpardoned contains several err
rors. Ex-Gov Wise it included, for instance,
among those who are restored while the fact is
he is excluded because he was once a foreign
minister. James A., Seddon, ex-Confederate
Secretary of War, on the other hand, is repre-
sented as not being pardoned, while just the
reverse is the case. 81 .e- bsaIaI s--I-
