The ARGUS AND THE ORPHAN ASYLUM

figure out any chance for Mr.. Greeley's cleo
ton, has got exaSperated at the perversity of
mathematics, and the other day it bravely at

the institution, called upou the editor of the
Argus aud showed him the falsity of its charg-
es Common decency ought to have prevented
it from repeating its charges, at least; but on
the contrary that paper yesterday morning, ov-
er the signature of ''*'' repeated its falsehoods.

injure the reputation of that benevolent institu-
ton. We feel called upon to say that the as

Asylum in this city was Illuminated on We'd

that paper in repeating its falsehood on Mon

On the return Of the Sage of Chappaqua to
New York from his trip to St. Johnsbury, VT,
an enterprsing reporter got aboard the train,
and after announcing to Greeley the action of
the conference between O'Conor and his nomi-
majors, gives the result Of the colloquy between
them as follows:
"Will you stick to your candidacy now or
withdraw"
Withdraw said the Sage, arching his eye
brows. "Ho no! L never thought of such a
thing"
"You will, then, stick?"
Undoubtedly This is little third party
movement, such a. springs up in every Presi-
Dental campaign, none of them, L believe, more
Insignificant than this"
DO you think O'Conor can carry many votes
with him?"
''Oh! suppose some old bunker Democrats
will be tempted by the luxury of voting for an
old lifelong Democrat to vote for the ticket,
but very few

In justice TO the Resolute Base Ball Club
we print below letter from them in regard to
the report of their game with the King Philip
Club on Saturday last And we would also
say that we have noticed everywhere they have
visited this season the papers have spoken of
their gentlemanly behaviour both on and off
the field.
To the Editor of the Press:
Please allow us through the columns of your
paper, for the benefit of our friends who read
the PRESS and did not witness the game, to
make slight correction in the report of the
game with the King Philip Club which appear
ed in the paper yesterday morning
First, Any one would be led to think by
the report that there was . doubt about the
question of four outs in the seventh inning.
Now it was allowed by both Clubs that owing
to an error on the scorers part, the Resolutes
one run by the error, which they were not en-
titled to. Secondly, your report stated that
the Resolutes were "white-washed on the
niuth inning, which, were it the fact, would
have given the game to the King Philip Club.
Now the facts are these: The game stood six
to five in favor of the King Philips, with one
inning due the Resolutes, they having played
but eight to their opponents nine. The Reso-
lutes had commenced their last inning with
two men on the bases and no one out when the
umpirc's decision was disputed by the King
Philips in regard to ball knocked towards the
first base which they claimed was foul, and
Immediately threw up the game, leaving the
out. Now these are just the facts in the case,
and we leave our friends to judge what the re-
cult would probably have been. We will
simply say in closing that the game stands
to in our favor until that inning is played.
Yours respectfully,
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1872-09-17

brainless Chance, assuming to plan

we find beneath our feet, such
heaven as is outspread above US
When be looked at the sun his con-
scious reason told him that orb was
stationed in the heavens to dispense
light, and heat and life to surround
ing worlds. When he looked at the

knew that that far-off chandelier
was suspended in the sky for the ex-
press purpose of giving US light by
night. When he conversed with the
stammering stars, they told him of
an Almighty Power whose existence
and creative wisdom, the universe
may demonstrate, but whose moral
attributes Revelation and Providence
alone can unfold. You might as
well attempt to blot out that uni
verse from heaven downward TO the
bottomless abyss with your paltry
sophistries, as to erase the idea of
an intelligent Creator from mind
so well balanced and perfect in its
logical action as that of Charles
Dunn.
Judge Dunn, by the very consti-
tuition of his nature, was a conserva-
tive in politics. Yet when unex-
ampled changes, distinctions and re-
constructions, as the result of the
war entered our political system, his
good sense and sound judgment en-
abled him to see that the elimination
of slavery and the adoption of the
new gospel of equality before the
law, without the distinction of race
and color, was not wild and reck-
less violation of constitutional rights,
but realization of the sublime theo-

Trumped-Up Charges.

AS some of the opposition papers
are sserting that Senator Wilson was
some twenty years ago in sympathy
with the Know-Nothing party, it
may be worth while to remind them
that Horace Greeley, whom they are
generally supporting for the Presi-
dency, was similarly affected 10 1858.
The following communication ad-
dressed to the editor of the World,
and signed "B. D." throws light up
on this subject
You will find in the New York
Express of August 81, 1858, speech
from Horace Greeley from the same
stand with j. L. Headley, advocat-
ing o fusion ticket of Republicans
and Know-Nothings, at Kingston,
New York. Mr.. Greeley said "he
concurred generally and heartily in
the propositions which they had
adopted" One of the resolutions
urged the passage of a claw exclud.
ing the foreign-born citizen from a
vote in the State until he shall have
feSlued IN ~ as lonS as an n m oricRn-
born citizen exercising the same
franchise" | presume the Tribune
of the same date contains the speech
es &c. This was Mr.. Greeley indi-
vidually. The Tribune urged fusion
upon the same State and county Of
fcers, and said "We trust it may yet
be found practicable in the Congress
sional districts"
OF course no sensible person, be he
Of foreign or American birth, sup
poses that Greeley would make any
the worse President in the year 1873
because of his connection with
Know Nothingism in 1858. Neither
can such trumped-up charge af-
feet the popularity Of Henry Wilson,
the friend of the workingman. Can.
didates like Senator Wilson, who
have served the State in high po-
sitions for long term of years, are
to be judged by their public record
as officers-not by any notions which
they may have entertained a score
of years Forney'S Press.
