When Mr.. Greeley left his editorial
room on resigning the command of the
Tribune, we read that lin one corner
Of the room there are nearly thirty
boxes, from the different New York
hattcrs, each containing n white hat.
They had come in so fast that Mr.,
Greely distributed them to the cnl-
ployecs in the building. The com
positors must have come In for n good
share, as the majority Of them, aatlley
passed to the composing room that
evening were crowned with white
hats

And my language Is plain,

And avoiding the main
GreatqncstiMlsat at Issue. II. Greeley"s

I'll. g." il his name.
And will not deny
In regard to the same
What these letters imply;
Dut that u-m-h II fits between 'em

1t was May--on the third
And 1nite soft was the game,
Though lary a word
Said the slmrps bout the same,
Till they suddenly centred OH Horace,
Ina way cannot but blame.
The trick to he played
Was to lnrh-wegsle Grant,
Although what was said
Was bIt bnlcOmbe and rant;
Thongll Greeley wasn't there, he'da
hand in
And furnished the most ofthc cant.
The ballot and vote
For zone Adams was bO,h;
Likewise yon might note
That Grltz Brown woul,ln' I wash;
Then Dlyiiand Trlmbull and others
Played low to the 'Gilyanized
Squash"
The dmlgcs then played
Were quite shocking to see;
Though objections were made
They eouldn'tagrec;
So, really, This queer nomination
Was caused by a ma-jor-i-tee.
When Greeley was told,
As the news came to hand,
Oh the delegates sold.
He was chi!tllike and bland;
When he writes What kliow Of

Wen learn how the leather was

And say it with plin,
That for running Il curve
And avoiding the plain
Live Issues at stake. Horace Grrrley's

MADIsoNvILLE, Tenn, Oct. 5, 1872.
ED IToRs CHRONICLE The Monroe County
Agr cultural Fair at this place has just conclud-
ed The exposition continued throughout
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday,
there being in attendance an exceedingly large
crowd each day. The number and excellent
quality of things on exhibition were beyond the
anticipatons of even the most sanguine, and
showed that the little man who told US in
speech during the Fair that our county was ex-
hausted and impoverished had prepared his re-
marks from data gathered elsewhere.
There was distributed very large number of
costly and appropriate premiums, and generally
TO the satisfaction of all. Mr.. Charlton, of
Knoxville, delivered an excellent and effective
address to the people in attendance on Friday.
The best of order and good feeling prevailed
throughout the Fair.
Col. II. b. Yearwood, the President of the
Monroe County Agricultural Society," conduct
ed the whole exposition with that unique skill
and success for which he is so widely known.
And this evening just after dark, it having been
ascertaned that Col. Yearwood was at the
court house in the Office of A T Hicks, Secre-
tary of the Society, the Madsonville Band SER
enaded the two gentlemen. The music by the
Band brought to the court Square large num-
Der of persons, and Col. Yearwood being loud
ly called for, appeared and delived short
speech which was received with great applause.
Other speeches were also made whereupon all
dispersed, 1t is said that Col. Yearwood is to
take the conduct of the Knoxville Fair which
is to soon come off. Yours &c.
