GREELEY, referring TO the apostacy Of
Governor Palmer TO Radicalism, OF
rather TO his abandonment Of Grant and
adhesion to the Reform movement,
says that Palmer's example is a good
one for those prudent patriots who re-
eOgnize the necessity and importance OF
the Reform movement, but decline to
commit themselves to it until its future
is assured. As soon as they cease to
be needed we shall have enough OF
them. Even the New York Evening
Post is non-eommittal, and more than
half the Radical members Of Congress
declined for one and another reason to
sign the can for the great ofice-holders,
Grant e~onvOcation IN New York. They
are waiting for further Developments.
Just now the Reformers have things all
their own way, and nothing is wanting
TO assure the overthrow of Grant but
wise action a. Cincinnati.

ABSCONDED.


From the Chattanooga Times Of the 2Oth.J
There was considerable excitement
about the courthouse yesterday, overibe
reported ascending of Deputy Sheriff
John G. Reed, Upon investigation we
learned that his absence YVES first dis
covered from the remark OF s woman of
the town, named MolHe Eakin. that
Reed had given her one hundred dollars
10 meet him at Memphis, 1t was then
aseertained that he had failed to- return
a number of executions in his hands.
upon which he had collected the money
and that the total amount of non he
longing to parties in court in his hands
is about two thousand dollars.
Sheriff Conner ~telegTaphed the au-
thOrities st Memphis yesterday to arrest
him, and unless be has already gone to
Arkansas, where ne was bound. there IS
a probability of his apprehension.
M. Reed has always borne a good
eharacteRiR this community, and we
are at a loss to account for bis eondnef
in this matter.

PALPABEY enough Radical Congress
men never intend to enact any measure
that viii reform the civil service. Rad
icahsm, supreme in both branches Of
Congress, refuses outright, even to rem
edy abuses Of the Thanking privilege.
The suspicion OF the part of the people
That Congress really intended to de-
puve itself Of the right to make the
public pay the postal expenses of that
BODY was deemed a good joke by Ben
Butler and Others long accustomed to
Weld power and triRe Win the popuial
win at Washington. The proposition
10 reform evils incident TO the frankne
privilege was even greeted with derisiye
laughter. II has been seen how CON-
mittees of investigation are packed,
how State Conventions, like that o
Pennsylvania, are bought and sold and
nominations made in violation Of the
wishes of the people. Pennsylvania is
in open revolt against Grant, and ht
successor viii surely be.named at Gin
cinnati. The State Of Indiana is Ger
tainIy revolutionized, and these changes
are enough 70 insure his defeat. Judge
Davis Governor Palmer, and Senator
Trumbull and General Logan having
abandoned Grant and declared for the
nominee of the Cincinnati Convention,
wei may rest assured that the G~ift-taker's
days, as such, are numbered. :

THE Oxford Miss Falcon explains
and corrects statements made by the
Radical Pilot, in reference 70 the confess
sions of Mississippians charged with the
offense of kukluxism. The defendants
only admitted that they subjected three
negroes to temporary Imprisonment
and with this they were fined and dis
charged, and yet the story has gone over
the North that the Mississippi kuklux
confessed the commission Of all 6
ceivable unnamed crimes. If Missis-
sippians were a murderous as the Pl0t
and Northern organs Of Radicalism
represent them, there would not live in
perfect security in that State a hall

produced, in some shape, in every news

Not Much for HAYNES.

The Memphis Avalanche doesn't like
the nomination of Landon G.. Haynes by
the Democrats for Congress. 1t says
The nomination of Landon c.. Hanyes
is a weak one in any view which may be
taken of it. If the candidate for Congress
must belong to the old class of politicians,
then the convention ought to have chosen
one of brains, pluck and vitality, like ex-
Governor Isham G. Harris, and not one
like Haynes who, as public man, has
been a failure. If the candidate must have
Confederate war record, then the con-
vention ought to have chosen one who
could give the name of his regiment or
command with which he served in the
war. Mr. Haynes war record, we believe,
is confined to his speeches made as Con-
federate Senator in the city of Richmond.

LONDON, August 12-The Royal Yacht
Squadron Regatta was brought to con-
clusion on Saturday. The challenge cup
which was presented by the Prince of
Wales, was won by the Yacht Guendolin.
At one time during the race Ashbumes'
yacht, the Lavinia, was three miles ahead
of all other vessels and undoubtedly would
have won the cup, had not her progress
been stopped by the carrying away of her
main top mast.
GENEVA, Aug. 12.-Mr. Cohen, the Eng
fish barrister who drew u the report for
the crown on the subject of American
claims for losses sustained by the mercan-
tile marine of the United States, has been
summoned here from London. This gives
rise to the conjecture that the decision
mas been rendered by the Board
upon the general question and Eng
land is responsible for the direct losses
claimed by America, and that Cohen is
called in to assist the British counsel in
arguing upon the amount of damages to
be assessed by the Board.

Lightning VS.. Thunder.

Gen. Joe Geiger, for twenty years past
the leading Democratic stump speaker in
Ohio, is out against Greeley. In speech
at Columbus few days ago he said:
You can hardly find a man in the town
of Columbus who has not shame on his
face when marching in Democratic pro-
cession. But men talk to you in sober
ness about this matter; they talk about
the accumulation of the men that are go
ing to vote for Mr.. Greeley" I tell you
that an honest Democrat is not going to
give the lie to his entire life by voting for
man who, for the last forty years, as is
well known, has villified him and SLAM
dered his party. (Applause.) That time
is past. These men make no noisy demon
STATIONS. have seen man after man in
the .city of Columbus-men of character
and standing-whO have told me they
were not going to vote this way. They
would as soon be killed as to vote for Hor-
ace Greeley. They are not going to the
polls. They will vote at the State cleo
ton, but will not vote any further; and it
is the quiet element that is going to do the
business through the whole land. It is
the lightning that kills, not the thunder.
It isn't the noise, it IS the energy and force
and will of the American people that
counts.
