The election of GREELEY will break up the
negro political organization and put an end
to the bacful influence OF PARTIES tnrmed
upon a line of color The ultra Radicals
have established this unfortunate division,
and thereby have spread disorder and dis
trust everywhere. GRANT, conceiving that
he only needed the solid negro vote to secure
him in power, hns used every influence and
art ut his command to tlatter and bamb0ozle
the negro and degrade the white man. What
folly. He grlsped at the shndow und lost
the substance. Had he 50 shaped his policy
as TO restore the southern white people TO
the condition of equality with the people OF
the North both in their freedom and in the con
tidcnce of the Government he would have
gained them as fast friends. What has he
done? He has lost the southern whites, and
has in lieu only the southern negroes. lie
might have been just to the latterand bound
the former fast in the ties of friendship. But
he took his way under the bad counSeIs OF
bad men, and what will be his consolation
for this in the hour of defeat?

Sketches" Of N. p. T., IN TIE GALAXY.
This brief tribute to the Late WILLIAM G..
R1vEs is strictly Just. He was a statesman,
if not upon so broad Il scale as that of WEB
srER and CALHOUN, at le;lSt Il statesman who
discussed "eycry question with fullnesS of
information and breadth Of view that gave
his arguments great weight" HeWas indus
triouS, and expended much time in prepare
ton for speech on any subject of great
public importance. He was fastidious about
style. ind most studiouSly devoted himself to
the elegances and proprieties of phrseoloSy,
always taking care, it is proper to say, not
to weaken the force of his argument
or ideas thereby. His taste was eXqui-
site, and his speeches were always as
polished as was his personal appearance al
ways decorous and genteel. lie never forgot
the feelings and ambition of the graduate of
the University, and always seemed attired
for commencement day. He was not a man
of genius, but was richly endowed with very
fine talents. Personally he uniformly pre-
served the spirit and demeanor OF polished
gentleman, with trace of iauntineSs i'll his
bearing. He was in his personnel always Il
model of the scholar aud gentleman. Bright,
courteous, quick and staunch of step, gallant
and compaisant. He perhaps added little
emphasis to that sort of decisiyencss of per-
sonal action on account of bis stature, which
was little under the medium. Men of pride
and ambition unwittingly often learn to sup
nly physical deficiencies by energies they may
suggest
Mr.. R1vEs was strictly diplomatist. His
great forte was in that walk of life. His
bearing, his language, his self-possession, his
devotion to the forms and courtesies OF
polished society, all fitted him admirably for
! it. 1t takes stateman to be a diplomatist,
;, it Is not always that the Statesman Is i

Georgia has suffered heavily from the rob-
berries of the swindling Radicals, us our read
ers know. The New York Tribune is after
Mr.. CLEws, the banker of that city, who,
holding as custodian large amount of Gcor-
gia gold bonds, pays the drafts of BULLOCK
and BLoDGETT to the amount of more than
5000, 900 out of it. This was breach of trust
OH the part of CLEws, and suggests, of course,
suspicious damaging to that tinancier. The
funds of Georgia held by him were limited
to the payment of past-due bonds, the pay
ment of interest-coupOns, and to such other
purposes us the Legislature might direct.
But he paid the money to the order of BUL.
LOCK without regard to the rights of Geor-
gia.
Georgia has brought suit against the
Fourth National Bank of Georgia for trans
ferring money of the State on deposit with
the bank to make up deficits in the accounts
of BULLOCK and WILLIAM j. KIMBALL BUL-
LOCKS confederate in robbery. The amount
thus transferred is SSS,057.

seyn,,,,red bs drawing black lines around IL.
"a counter resolution approving OF tbe ACT
should have satisfied oil reasonable partl-
sanry; but the partisans of JACKSON were
excessive in their zeal; or rather BENTON ana
others were, and they dragooned the more
reasonable into the support of their excuses.
Mr.. RIyEs was one of the latter. lie Volca
for the black lines, and was the victim OF Inc
r;dicillc Of those who had complimentcd Nun
by supposing he could never be induced 10
vote for 80 irregular measure and such 9
passionate exhibition of partisan feeling
such an overbearing measure of party power.
He lost influence by the act. ltsecned 10 De
the opinion Of both sides that the po'lshea
statesman could not have given his judgment
to the propriety of the act. Benton ana DIS
followers doubted his sincerity. ana Lhe oi''
position to JACKSON thought he had suporoi'
mated his calm reason and intimate KNOW
ledge of parliamentary proprieties to the DC
tum of the oyerbearing will of his party.
Soon afterwards he separated from his
narty upon matter Of finance, in which he
showed no great wisdom-he opposed JACK
SONS sub-trcasury and advocated the pro-
pliety of keeping the public money i'll
the State banks. People thought he
was still smariing under the vote for
expunging, and that he only carried
out desire to show spirit OF indepeli-
dence but he was unfortunate in selecting
the occasion, and carried with him only a
very small party. This step wound up Mr.
RrvEs's political prospects. and he passed the
evening of his life chiefly IN retirement, but
amidst the PLEASURES and joys of that social
intercourse with men of high attachments,
and in that domestic life which none knew
better how to make agreeable and fclicitous
than he did, He was, indeed, Il polished
gentleman. scholar, Il statesman, and, above
all, man of kind heart and clnincntly pos
scssed of the most shining social virtues.
