TOO LITE IN THE DAY

The Republicans Of this State in Convention
assembled chose Horace Greeley to head their
electoral ticket in 1864, just after he had, by
President LncOln's direction, visited Niagara
Falls on a Peace mission. He was elected by
them. and chosen President of the Electoral
College by which the vote of this State was
cast for Mr.. Lincons reelection. Everything
he has ever written which is now held to have
been erratic, unstable, or Secessionist, sympa-
thizer with the Rebellion. &c, &C., had been
for years before the public, and was at least
as well understood as it is now MIR. Greeley
did not 90 near the Convention which thus
hOnored him, and in no manner sought favor
at its hands. lie never asked nor Sought to
be made President of the Electoral College,
and, as this did not meet till December when
Mr. Lincoln's election was already assured, it
cannot now be pretended that it was still ne
cessary to cOnciliate him. Why then, did they
not choose Preston King or some other of the
Electors to preside over the COllege7
Again in 1861, when each party was viz
tually required to select sixteen delegates at
large to the Constitutional Convention of that
year, q Republican State Convention chose
Mr.. Greeley for one Of those delegates, and
the choice was ratified by popular vote. On
the meeting of the Convention, Mr.. William
A. Wheeler NOW q leading Renominationist)
selected Mr.. Greeley for Chairman of its
Committee on Elections and the Right of
Suffrage-politically the most important post
in the Convention. How faithfully its duties
were discharged the official records will show,
and the hearty support now accorded to Mr..
Greeley as candidate for the Presidency by
very large majority of the delegates at large
chosen by the whole people of our State may
serve to attest. If he was a failure" as a
consttution-maker, who should know it bet
ter than those who were daily sharers in and
witnesses of his work
We submit that those who are daily de-
flaming Mr.. Greeley to the people of our
State as Secessionist have q public re-
cord of their own acts to face which should
constrain them to hang their heads in shame.

From South Carolina we have reports that
the Carpet-bag leaders are Quarreling among
themselves, and that an independent Republican
ticket will probably be nominated in Opposi-
ton to that of the Ring. If men of known
good character can be found and placed
on such a ticket the white inhabitants
of South Carolina will no doubt willingly give
it their support and with the aid of the more
intelligent and honest Of the negroes might
reasonably hope to carry tie State. The greatest
obstacle would lie in the frauds of the
election officers, some of whom, it may be
remembered, were sent to the Penitentiary
two years ago for just a triie OVERRIDING bust
ness in the Beaufort district. Certain it is
that there is now great wrangling, and that
exposures are coming out of the mOduS Operandi
of the great robberies of the Scott ring. Car
doza, the negro Secretary of State, has so far
shown himself honest, able, and independent,
and, where he is known, yields great power
with his race. His course and that of the
South Carolina negroes will be watched with
great interest by those who wish to see the
coored race show themselves worthy of the
ballot

that the Court of Impeachment has substan-
TALLY agreed on the conviction of Judge Bar

are supposed to be against the Judge, who was

Judge Henry r. Selden is one of the Lib
eral Republicans whom the Ohce-H olders
have not yet found out to be a Secessionist
or a scoundrel Since his speech in Rochester,
at the great ratification meeting last Thurs
day, he may as well understand That his UNI
principled course can no longer escape de-
served exposure Perhaps there is some young
man in the vicinity who can be induced to
swear that he has seen letter from him, in
favor of general edct in the first month of
Mr. Greeley's administration, commanding the
slaughter of all the frst-bOrn children in the
land The young man will pretty soon retract
his affidavit, but the Ofiice-Holders' organs
can go on, all the same, publishing the
original story, with amplifcations and proper
expressions of horror, from now until cleo
ton day. Let the poor Judge prepare him
self.

The conductors of the 0lice-H0lders' cam
paign have thus far been treated with such
consideration that they begin to feel entitled
to impunity themselves, while endeavoring to
blacken the character of every conspicuous adj
vOcate of reunion and reform. The last two
shining marks on whom they have fixed are Gen.
Banks and Cassius NJ. Clay. While each was
loyal to the RenOminatiOnists he was chiyal-
ric leader, without fear and without reproach;
now each is to be painted as worthless rem
egade always disreputable, long disgrace to
the party In fact, if the RenOminationists
may be trusted, no great party ever had such
disreputable lot Of leaders, since parties first
began on the American continent, as had the
Republican party up to the time when an
original Buchanan Democrat, who had never
voted a Republican ticket in his life, was
given its highest Office in order to lead it
reputably.

Not very enviable reputation The Journal Of
Harper's Weekly Civilization seems to be winning
throughout the country. Here is The Saratoga
Sentinel, which goes far as to pronounce tho
Mast cartoon of Mr.. Sumner at the grave of Brooks
"deyilish." Perhaps" says The Sentinel, Lake
xiii. "a, which tells of tho Crucifxion, might
furnish a good subject for companion piece"
Mast is going through tho whole series, suppose.
of Scrptural suggestions but that which The Se"t'-
mel presents is one for which he ought TO be most
grateful. If we forgive him, it will be because no -

The venerable and Reverend Leonard Bacon come,
to the rescue in The Independent of the Oce-HodeT1
candidate with the following profound and saga
cous reflections: Surely, if there is any such thing
as the historical identity of party Notwithstanding
its losses and endorsements the party which IL now
putting forth its strength for the election OF Slr.
Greeley and which is sure of being dominant II he
shall be elected is identical with the party which
was victorious in the election Of Buchanan" IL Is
painful to find clergyman taking such low and
despairing views of human progress. Did the Doctor
in his clerical capacity admit any sinners into
his church, Is lie disbeever in the possibility OF
any change for the better of the political mind and
heart ? How would DR.. Bacon like it if we should
retort after This fashion, surely if there is any
such thing as the historical identity Of q church.
notwithstanding its losses and endorsements, tho
church to which the Rev. LEONARD Bacon belongs in
identical with the church which burnt seryetus.
hung the Quakers on Boston Common, and punished
with death boys who struck their parents" " Ah,'
the Rev. Doctor will exclairl that was the SIN OF
the age" Well, perhaps the sins of the Democracy
were the sins of the age-most parties which have
lived long enough hGge sins to answer ior-the
Grant party is MT hundred years old, and yet has
one OF two If there can never be any confidence In
parties until they have not merely abandoned thor
specific organization, but have succeeded in eradI
eating their record entirely, the world Will hardly
make much political progress at any rate Dr. BacoRs
talk of Historical Identity is childish 1t is like tho
desperate efforts which used to be made 70 identity

ous in the election of Buchanan" than it is with the

The utter and most criminal carelessness with
which drugs are kept aud dispensed, both publicly
and in private families, sadly illustrated at tho
Brooklyn Navy-Yard on Saturday, when the apoihe-
cary of the receiving-shp Vermont fell victim to
his own want of order. For cramp in the stomach
he wished to take small dose of tincure Of ginger
and. installing the bottle, swallowed q spoonful OF
tincture of aconite undluted. In about ninety
minutes he died. Now what are we TO say TO dis
pensary on public ship recklessly arranged that
tincture of ginger stands in the close negbborhood
of tincture Of aconite 1t is exsctly like putting
oxalic acid and epson salts side w slde-a piece OF
stupidity which, within own knowledge, not
long ago killed an unfortunate infant 1t seems to
us that it would be easy mattor to put all the
poisons by themselves in of their own, not Ia
be opened except by the turning of key. Such oc-
currences as this at the Navy ard afford the strong
est argument in favor of homeopathy with which
we are acquainted.

hanging himself as William George did az Roches-
ter Ill., last week; for since death at any rate must
be close at hand the trouble of rope, of finding

to be hardly worth taking. On the other hand. it

We publish to-day detailed account OF the
recent revolutionary movement in Peru, which
was announced by telegraph week ago. AL
though the general features of this do not dlf-
fer materially from the stereOtyped South
American revolution, one novelty has been in
troduced which argues well for the future
maintenance of order in Peru. Instead of re-
garding the violent proceedings to overthrow
the Government with their usual apathy, the
people manifested deep interest in the preser-
walton of legal administration. When the
usurper Gutierrez fell into their hands. he was
speedily killed, hisSfemains being treated with
ndignity as a warning to all other distmbels
of the peace, and the constitutional President
was duly inaugurated.

TIE manufacturers of documents for the
Office Holders party presume greatly on the
Ignorance Of voters. Considering that they
represent what is left of the Republican party
after its more conspicuous leaders have gone
out, and Zachariah Chandler & Co. have as
sumed the vacant places, they perhaps do not
Ynaccurately estimate the wants of their con-
stltuency. But it is a little droll to find the
same Committee distributing documents against
the same candidate, which impartially prove
lIim an original Secessionist, an original Co.
erciOnist, an original AbolitiOnist and con-
e.aat opponent Of the war for the Union.

The dispatches published this morning IN
regard to the riots at Belfast will not fail TO
strengthen, in the minds of many, the impress
sion that the antpathy between the different
parties in Ireland is irrecOncilable. For no other
reason than the attempt of the Roman Catho-
lies TO celebrate the repeal of the acts for
bidding party professions in that unhappy
country, Belfast has, for four days, been the
scene of riots which large body OF troops
has been unable to qucll. We can never be
certain. when Ireland is apparently at peace,
that she is not on the eve OF serious dis-
turbance.
