THE MEETING OF THE THREE
FNPERORS,

TIE three masters of Eastern and Central Lu-
rome, the Emperors of Germany, Austria, and IuS-
STA, with their Chancollors, arc to meet IN befln
within a few days, and the politicians OF the Con-
tincnt arc speculating GnXlously as to the motive
OF such q gathering. Englishmen, and especially
English Journalists of the Liberal type, seem dis
posed to ridiculo the notion that it can have any
political object at al, declaring that tho days OF
the Holy Alliance are past, and believing thar III
our generation nations govern themselves but we
suspect the Continentals are in the right. Great
monarchs, and especially great monarchs whose
interests diyergo very widely, are not fond OF
meeting for social gossip, if only because they
are apt thereby to disturb tho minds OF their sub
iects very much, and even to throw the politics OF
Europe into some commOtiOn. They are much
more comfortable apart, spending their holidays
in places like Ems, and Nice, and Ischl,
where their crowns do not weigh so heavily, and
thoy can obtain the mental relief which an inter
view in Berlin, with its ceremonial, and its nego-
tiation, and is cares. will assuredly not 0oSto"'
They must be meeting for business, and as the
meeting has been arranged for months, having
been discussed moro or less openly III April, the
business must be important, and the wiseacres,
in trying to spell out the business, are scarcely
wasting their time. Nations may be governing
themselves. as the newspapers say-and on some
points, such as taxation, some of them no doubt
are governing themsolYes-bu their rulers can
still do much, if it be only by initiating move
ments in which tho nations will certainly aequl-
esce. The three GentIomon who meet in Berlin,
for example, can, if they please, agree to guoran-
tee each others territories,-agree, that Isl not TO
Interfere with each other torritorially, and not to
permit a defeat Of any one of thom to be followed
by loss of provinces. Their advisers would not
resist that proposal,-because they must have as
sented to it before it was made, and their subjects
would see IN it a new security for their own 1nde-
pendenco; and yet, if accepted, it would beyond
all question most seriously modify the policies OF
Europe. Such On agreement would render it al
most impossible for France to attack Germany
with any hope of success for she wants Alsace
and Lorraine back, not to fight Germany, then
Austria, and then Russia, and then, after oil get
nothing, and she would be almost forced to strive
for an alliance with England aud Italy. 1t would
set Russia free TO pursue her schemes in Asia

Our Public Men.

Jefferson died comparatively poor;
indeed if Congrese had not purchased
his library, and given him for it FIVE
times its value, he would with difficulty
have kept the wolf from the door.
Madison saved money, and was COM
paratively rich. To add to his fortune,
however, or rather to that OF his widow,
Congress purchased his manuscript pa
pers and paid 10000 for them.
James Monroe, the sixth President Of
the United States, died in New York so
poor that his remains found resting
place through the charity of his friends
John Quincy Adams left some
$4,000, the result ofindustry, prudence
and Inheritance. He was a man Of
method and economy.
Martin Van Buren died very rich
Throughout his political life he looked
out for his interest. 1t is not to be be-
lieved that he ever spent thirty shillings
in politics. His party shook the bush
and he caught the bird.
Daniel Webster squandered million
in his life, the product of his profess
sional life and political speculation.
He died leaving property to his chill
dren and his debts to his friends The
former sold for $4,000, the latter ex-
ceeding sl50,000.
Henry Clay left handsome estate
1t probably exceeded 100000. He
was prudent manager and scrupu-
lously honest man in all his transac-
tions.
James K. Polk left about sl50,OOG
$4,000 OF which he saved from his
Presidency of four years.
John Tyler lett $4,000. Before he
reached the Presidency he was bank
rupt. In office he husbsnded his means,
and then married q rich wife.
Zachary Taylor left $l50,0O0.
Millard Fillmore is "a wealthy man and
keeps his money in q strong box. 1t
will not be swallowed up in speculation
nor squanderded in vice.
Ex.President Pierce saved some
$40, 900 from his term of office.
Gen. Grant, in not yet four years

shots, however. took effect in the ear
OF Pat. Malony, who was sitting near,

man who did the shooting, was -ubse-

Sioux CITY, July ia dispatch
from Fort Sully, Dakota, says that it is
reported there that about one thousand
Indians have collected at point on the
route, west of the river, to be taken by
the Yellowstone expedition. which is to
leave Fort Rice on the 2jth i1st., and
that they will prevent, il possible. the
proposed survey Of the Northern Pa.
cific railroad through their country.
The surveyors escort will consist OF
1000 men and battery Of gatling guns,
under the command Of General Stanley,
one of the best Indian men on the from,
tier, who will be able to resist any
attack and prevent interference on the
part of the Indians.

Er GovsrnOf Jacob.

00v0EnOE SoCoDs
It is impossible to estimate with ab-
solute certainty the number OF votes
Governor Jacob will receive in this
county. 1t is certain he will receive
the entire Republican vote, but his
chances for Democratic support are ex-
ceedingly slim. Now and then, a mep'
Der of that party can be found, WIN
his mind confused with the Radical cny
Of rings, and vague impression that
Walker, Of the Courier, is q modern
Diabolus, with power and intent to put
Camden, the Senate, House OF Dele
gates, State functionaries, together with
State patronage in his pocket. 1t should
be remembered that nothing has
as yet been proven against him. and
that the charges made are derived en-.
tirely from Republican authority, that
the subject is undergoing investigation
that, even if true, Camden has not
in the slightest degree been connected
Herewith. Because Democratic edi-
tor, who has been by a Republican
press accused of extortion in charges
for State printing, supports his party
nominee, is that conclusive evidence that
the party nominee and that editor are
cheek by jowl" in the alleged extor-
ton? Let every tub stand on its bot
tom, and don't allow defamatory asser-
tions improved against one man, break
your allegiance to that party with which
you have been associated.
We sometimes think that if the
registration days were not over, and a
trial or two before a County Registra-
ton Board was to take place in every
county, it would strengthen few of
the brethren who are weakening in the
faith. Surprise and regret however,
was the order Of the day in this county,
when it was definitely understood from
the Jacob flag flying from the mast
head OF the leading Republican paper
in West Virginia, that Governor Jacob
had sullied his record and turned his
back upon that party from whom he
derived his first political prominence.
His political future is to be built upon
its ruins, and il elected he will be
at Charleston dispensing State pa
tronage to Republicans. He is now
body, soul and spirit Republican can
didate for Governor, supported by the
Republican press, and dependent upon
Republican votes for success. 1T
elected, he is as an honorable man,
bound to reward his hackers. There 8
a Republican atmosphere encircling
him wherever he goes. An honorable
man? Was it political honesty to
muster his friends, attend the ParkeIs-
burg Convention, estimate his strength,
lind that he would be beaten, refuse to
enter the Convention, and on the himsy
pretext that he was not before it, try to
give his party the death blow, by in
dependent candidacy?
Every vote cast for Jacob, is pre-
MUM bestowed upon political apostacy,
vote in favor of that party to whom
we owe all the iniquitious laws disfg-
uring our past history.

The committee Of the National Dem

Mr.. Greeley OF his nomination, met at
tle Fifth Avenue Hotel at IL o'clock

the London Club House with few of

and were announced. Mr.. Greeley
stood between the folding doors, with
Mr.. Whitelaw Reid at his right, when
the chairman of the committee, ex-
senator Doolittle, advanced and shook
hands with Mr.. Greeley. Being per-
sOnaily a stranger, he introduced HIM

announced the unanimous nomination
Of Mr Greeley as candidate for the

Mr.. Greeley responded in courteous

The Reason Why.

The suspension OF the New York
Standard has already been noticed
The New York Express thus refers to
it: "The New York Standard, after sink
ing all the capital put into the estab-
lishment, and after superhuman efforts
on the part of its friends to make it
pay expenses, has finally suspended
publication. This makes about one
hundred daily Journals started and sus-
pended in this city within a quarter
OF a century, after precarious exist
ence. The capital sunk in them one way
and another has not been less than
$25. 100000. John Russell Young
started the Standard as q Grant paper,
and the Administration and its friends
gave it great patronage, and also IN
opposition to Mr.. Dana and the Sun;
but no paper can be supported by pol''
tics alone or by personal animosities, or
both combined. and hence the fate OF
the Standard. Besides, nothing is more
overdone in this city than its journal
ism, and no kind Of business is more
expensive"

From the New York Tribune.l
Shorthand for Women.

One OF the chief difficulties in the
way OF p occurring employment for
women consists in the limited number
of occupations that are practically open
to them. A comparatively new field
is now to offer admission. The number
of employers in large mercantile, insur-
ance and banking firms, as well as Of
persons engaged in literary and news
paper callings, who require the services
Of shorthand amanuenses is continually
increasing. 1t is found that business
man who has been accustomed to
spend half the day in writing letters.
can, by debating to the amanuensis,
capable Of writing Shorthand, finish this
part OF his business in an hour. Wo>
men learn shorthand sufficiently for
such purposes in a comparatively short
time, and are thus provided with light
and fairly lucrative employment. Rec
ogniling these facts, Mr.. Peter Cooper
has decided to add photography to the
list OF studies Of the free academy for
women at Cooper Institute; and free
lecture on the subject is announced for
Tomorrow evening to precede the open
ing Of the course OF study.
