Cincinnati and who have been anxious to
reetify the singular and grotesque untitness
of Horace Greeley's nomination, the desig-
nation of VIM. Cullen Bryant in place of
Mr.. Greeley on a national reform tickle t for
the Presidency, would be hailed with en-
thusiastic joy, as the thing which they had
sought with narrowing solicitude and
grieved almost to the point Of despair not to
have found. III

Encouraging Accounts Of Sreeley's
Prospects.
WASHINGTON, June 2-E-At the Greeley
and Brown headquarters in this city, letter
was read to-day from Chas. Stewart, colored,
Orange Court house, Virginia, in which he
saws: awe have convinced the colOred peO-
pie here that Mr.. Greeley is their friend, and
always has been. They have been taught
that he has been a Democrat, and that he is
going to put them back into slavery. They
were solid for Grant when we arrived, but
are now divided" -
A letter from Robert j. Griffin, Of Allan
ia, Georgia, says that "we have now two
sets of delegates claiming to represent the
Democratic party in the State Convention.
The Greeley delegates were elected by
Democratic mass meeting, the Others being
boilers. The Greeley men only will get
seats in the Convention" The writer
concludes: Georgia is certain for Greeley
and Brown"
a letter from Bachelors Hall, Virginia,
says that, Notwithstanding the effort Of
revenue officers, the people will vote for
the Cincinnati ticket. They never let an
opportunity pass to advocate the interest OF
their master"
Jas. T. Matlock, of Douglass county, Or
egon, writes: "The GRANTEES have carried
Oregon in the election just passed on pure
ly local questions, aided by the cOrrupting
influences of the Administration. In the
approaching campaign the fight viii be clear
Of any local interests, which viii give the
State to Mr.. Greeley by at least one thou
sand majority. The President sent one Of
his Cabinet officers, Attorney General Wiz
Hans, to canvass for the Grant ticket, which
will give us an opportunity to show the
medding disposition of the Administration
in State politics. Set down Oregon for
Greeley"
Letters from South Carolina, Oregon,
Pennsylvania, Indiana, Missouri, Ohio and
Vermont report the strength of the ticket
in their States. All of them state that
Summers Indictment of Grantism has had
its effect, and that the people are clamoring
for copies of it. The pamphlet, "HOrace
Greeley's Record" is being read with
aYidity. The most encouraging news is
contained in them, all assuring the commit
tee that Grants chances, never large, are
dwindling rapidly away into the air.
