HORRIBLE DISCLOSURES.

We are indebted TO clip of the Hon.
GlenD w. Scbofelds tongue for one Of the
most frightful disclosures of the present cam
paign. Mr. Schofeld made speech at Mead
vile on the LIST OF August. The speech was
two and half hours long. Naturally in the
course of such on excessively comprehensive
address the orator said a few things which
prudence and reflection would have induced
him to keep to himself; and among these in
adyertent and unprecedented remarks was the
revelation Of a hitherto untold infamy of tho
treacherOus and depraved Greeley. The story
it seems was originally told 10 Mr.. Schofcld
in confidence by the Hon. Henry Wilson, and
Glenni meant to lock it forever in bis own
breast; =" but in the excitement of speaking tho
words passed his lips and it was too late to
recall them. How" exclaims The Akron (0.)
BeacOn, from which we gather the thrilling
narrative, does such forbeaance contrast
" with the deliberate, and long-cOntinued, and
" unceasing personal attacks Of the opposition
"upon President Grantp How, indeedi
Judge schoheld stated" gays The Beacon. d" that
in the Winter OF 1864 Greeley went down 20 Wash
ngton and there proposed 10 Mr.. Lincoln 10 en-.
deavOr to procure Louis NapOleon assistance In fight
ing the South. and offer Napoleon the control OF tho
Government Of tho United States in consideration Of
services rendered in overcoming the rebellion. Consd
cradle correspondence passed between Greeley and
Lincoln in regard to Grecleys plans hut the after
finally dropped. He further said that this bad almost
been forgotten when Senator Wilson called his attention
to it at the Philadelphia Convention few weeks ago."
Mr.. Schofield neglected TO mention, what
was equally true Though perhaps he did not
know it,, that Mr.. Greeley was to be rewarded
with the title of Duke in the new Franco
American empire, Gen. Butler to be created
Marshal and placed in command of the army,
Consul General George II. Butler TO be Minis
ter of Public Worship and Education, the Hon.
VIM. NJ. Tweed to be Minister of Finance, and
John Thomas to be Court Cham berlaln or
Gold Stick in Waiting. AS for Mr.. Lincoln,
he was TO go into a convent. But, as Mr..
SchoGeld ably remarks, g the matter was finally
dropped"
Now then we beg the Republican party to
observe what scandalOus old TeprObate they
have all these years been nominating for pub
lie Office and trusting as a popular leader.
This Greeley with his plots for an empire and
dreams of ducal corOnet is the same mis-
creant who attempted to burn New-YoTk,
blow up the Croton Aqueduct, pay the Confed-
crate debt, pension the Rebel soldiers, make
jeff. Davis President and Louis Napoleon En-
peror at the same time, poison all the wells
within the lines of the Army of the Potomac,
and infect the Northern ports with yellow
fever. He was perpetually engaged in treason
able correspondence with the South, and was
an accomplce in the assassination of President
Lincoln He committed Ku-Klux outrages in
nearly all the Southern States. He was an ac-
tive repeater during the North Carolina cleo
ton At present he Is plotting an inundation
of Long Branch and comprising the murder of
Senator Conkling and the Hon. Mat. Carpen-
ter. What fresh atrocty he may commit, UNI
less The Akron Beacon succeed in arresting his
mad career, we shudder to think. But Tho
Beo CON still burns that is our one comfort.
