The Reign of the Old white Hat.

General James Shields at Greeley Meeting
in Kansas City, Mo-.
Stanton was right This soldier man
OF America will not do for President ;
- the people are now going to try one
of the best workingmen OF America,
and a man who has never made a
single failure in his life except one,
and taat WAS when be tried to make a
Republican President out OF q pig,
headed soldier. The supremacy Of the
civil over the military authority is a
plank in the Liberal platform. There
- a sad significance in the fact that
this plank has to be inserted in Re-
publican platform at this time; but
what is worse, it has to be re.estsb-
lshed as a living principle in America.
Four years more Of L. S. Grant will
establish the supremacy OF the military
over the civil authority as a permanent
principle in this country. The Govern.
nent just now is an snomolv, or, as a
friend OF mine says, promiscuous
Government. 1t is half shoddy, half
miitarv-a cross between the swindler
and the trooper. Since the day Of sold
King Cole, that merry old soul" there
has been no such burlesque regal house
hold a. the one in Washington now.
West Point cadets, with commissions
in their pockets. are Presidential
lsckeys, and Generals OF the
United States army are gentle-
man ushers to wait upon the orders
OF the late General tanner. This
royal menagerie will all disappear when
Greeley comes. The sight of the old
white hat quietly crossing the threshold
will put the whole military array to
instant flight. The White House will
resume again its old time character and
become the digpified residence OF plain
Republican President and his modest
household. Horace Greeley will SEND
the soldiers to do soldiers work and no
the work of lsckeys and ushers il
Washington, and detectives in th'
South. The bsyonets will be relegatet
to the Rocky Mountains to watch th'
Indians and protect settlers, instead o
watching Southern Democrats and pro
iecliDg carpet baggers.

THE JACOB MEETING.

The JACOB meeting At the court
House last night was not q very re-
markable success as an expression OF
Democratic seatiment. Frantic efforts
had been made by the small coterie OF
the boiling Governor adherents to
drum up a crowd, and all the usual ap-
pliances were resortei to in order to
attract the curious. The Court House
was well filled, about half the
audience being Republicans and nnch
the greater number OF the other hall
were Democrats who support the regu-
lsrlv nominated ticket but who were
curious to know what could be said In
justification OF the extraordinary course
pursued by the Governor.
The meeting was first addressed by
Governor JACOB, the burden Of whose
complaint was that the delegates to the
Parkersburg Convention were nearly all
10 favor Of Mr.. CAMDEN's nomination.
The only other speech WAS made by
Major NICHOLAS FIrzHCGH, Of Charles
ton. who seemed to think that the Par
kersburg Convention did not represent
The Democratic sentiment OF the State
and that Governor JACOB is the only
man now before the people Of the State
who represents Democratic principles
and IDEAS
The Major is very estimsble gem
teman Of irreproachsble character, and
the only puzzle which his present ad.
yocacy OF Governor JACoBs candidacy
presents TO us Is how he can reconcile
all the circumstances Of the Governor 8
holt with that sense OF gentlemanly
honor hv which Mr.. FIrzHUGH has al
wava governed his own conduct.
Altogether, the demonstration was
not very favorable to the Governor 8

more strength in other counties than In
this he wonld better 60 home and at

From the special SofEeSPonuon'' VI 'A'
TaIk on the Cars-Cons ressmsn Beck
On tho Situation In KENTUCKY.
BALTIMORE, July 5.-The train on
which I came from New York, last
evening, brought over goodly com
pany Of Democratic politicians and
members of Congress, most Of whom
however, went on to Washington, to
look after such business as they were
obliged to neglect during the busy days
at the close Of the late session, or could
not attend to on account Of the sudden
flight of the Administration on the
morning after adjournment The most
prominent Democrat from the South
whom met was Congressman Beck. oi
Kentucky. Az the election in his State
takes place early next month it would
naturally be supposed that considerable
interest would have been awakened In
the canvass by this time; but Mr.. Beck
reports very little excitement. The
State, he says.will roll up its customary
forty thousand Democratic majority,
and every Democrat in the State is en-
Enthusiastically for Greeley. 81 wouldn
believe it il I did not see it." he said,
"but it is highly satisfactory to us
original Greeley men," And here let
me say that one of the most striking
features OF the coming National Con-
vention will be the predominance
among it's members OF original Greeley
men. remember MIR. Beck as one OF
those Democratic advocates OF the
nomination of Judge Davis at Cincin-
natl who at once accepted the Cincin-
natl ticket, and was not afraid to speak
in its favor among his fellow Congress-
men. But meet q great many other
Democratic representatives who. all
through May last, could not be induced
to commit themselves, and whose timid
course did much to encourage the
handful OF discontended Free Traders
to organize q bolt, and yet who would
now feel almost insulted il you were to
doubt that they were "original Greeley
men," | doubt if, after the Con-
vention is over next week, 1t
will be possible to And a dozen
prominent Democratic politicians who
will not claim to have been in favor Of
the nomination of Greeley and Brown
at Baltimore. The active opposition
which Mr.. Voorhees, made month ago
will not, l hear, prevent his equally
active support of the ticket after its in
dorsement here, and there will only be
left in opposition, outside of the Grant
party, a few fire eaters in the South
represented by Alexander 81. Stephens
and Robert Toombs, whose support
could only weaken the Liberal
cause. "The people Of the South.
said Mr.. Beck. as | turned to leave
him, "believe that Greeley and Brown
will surely be elected, and if they are,
they will owe less to the politicians
than any President and Vice President
we have had for years. The politi.
clans have been completely sold out
ever since this canvass began the peo-
pie are running the machine. One
thing more. Grants friends have
undertakn to laugh Mr.. Greeley out OF
the field, they couldn't be engaged in
business more dangerous to their own
candidate. The same thing was tried
in the Harrison campaign-you know
what the result was"

COIyOcOresses.

The Colvocoresses tragedy in Bridge.
port, which occurred on the night ol
June 3, has occasioned profound sem
sation both on account of the mystery
surrounding it, and the large amount Of
life insurance involved. Capt. Geo. M
Colvocoresses, formerly an active officer
in the United Safes Navy. and latterly
a member OF the Retiring Board, has q
residence and family in Litchfeld Conn
He was q Grecian by birth. He came
to this country in hisy outh, and served
honorably in the navy until 1867,
when he was retired. He was about
sixty years Of age, supposed to be in
good circumstances pecuniarily, and
was highly esteemed by his brother off
GERS and wide circle Of acquaintances.
At half past ten o'clock, on the eve
ming OF June 8, he left the Sterling
House in Bridgeport, and started, it is
supposed, for the steamboat which left
at eleven o'clock P. NJ. and on which
he had engaged passage. At the hour
of eleven, just as the steamer was loos'
ing from the dock, shot was heard,
and few minutes afterward the: dead
body Of Capt. Colvocoresses was found
in Clinton street, a short distance from
the dock. A post mortem examination
showed that death was caused by
large pistol ball passing through bis
body, entering the lower part OF the left
breast and coming out just over the
right hip, A reward of$l0,00O has been
dered for the recovery of $4,000 in
bonds and other securities, reported to
have been in his possession; and re-
wards BY the Governor Of Connecticut
the city of Bridgeport, and the widow ol
Capt. Colvocoresses, amounting to 7OOO
in all, for the apprehension OF the sup
posed assassins. Meantime thorough
investigation OF all the peculiar circum.
stances OF this tragedy is being made and
the question is widely discussed, Was il
q murder or q suicide2
