Mr.. Greeley Reported Insane.
1t has been generally known here for
some days past that Mr.. Greeley was
unwell. To-day it is rumored that
Horace is insane. At the time Of his
wifes S sickness Mr.. Greeley was her
constant attendant night and day. Her
death was a great shock to him, aUd
then came his terrible defeat in the elec-
ton. The combination induced a terri
bic nervous prostration. He called
the Tribune office the day after the eIec-
ton aud wrote few articles, and dur
ing that week he was down town every
day. He finally gave up ard
returned to his home at Chap
paoua. DR.. Bayard, Of this city,
who has ATTENDED him, says that he
(Greeley) had notslept night or day for
eight days; that he Is very weak, and
that his recovery is matter OF very
great uncertainty. A gentleman con
nected with the Tribune stated this af-
ternoon that Horace was crazy As
bedbug that his friends had sent him
TO the Bloomingdale asylum and the
officers OF that institution had refused
10 lake him in, owing to the structures
upon that establishment recently pub
lished in the 7ri5uns. Hewas then taken
to White Plains, where he now Is.
These statements could rot be veri-
fled bv Mr.. Reid or those in authority
at the office, for they refused to say any
thing in regard to Mr. Greeley, beyond
the fact that he was very sick. Mr..
DIVER, Mr. GreeIeys private secreta-
~. stated that he had for some time
past replied to all communications from
the friends of Mr.. Greeley without con-
sul,lng the latter, and he did not know
where Mr. Greeley was Meanwhile 1t
ia generally believed in journalistic cir
cles here that Mr. Greeley is a lunatlc,
and wonderful stories are told OF the
philosophers attacks upon people with
carving knives and chairs.
