General Charles A. T. Coils, one of tho
great soldier, statesmen, whose clarion
voice rallies men to the polls, will NOS
rally any this year, for he too has gone TO-
Europe. Then our distinguished Attorney
General Of the State-who was overlooked
by Grant when Williams, of Oregon, was
called to the Cabinet as the nations prose-
cutor-has been afflicted with Hartranft
ague, and to effect cure he has followed
his physicians advice and gone to Europe
to remain till frost comes. Attorney Gen
eral Brewster is our most gifted aud elo.
quent political orator he will be missed.
And, worst Of all, Judge Kelly, who did
the foulcst work Of his life the last day Of
the Congress session, has bronchial affec.
ton that has taken him with his interest
ing family to Montana to remain until De-
cember. For many years Kelly was the
orator who annually spoke for the Union
League of this city its high protective
tariff speech. But while all the Grant
men are running away from the scene Of
action, our great war Governor, Curtin,
and his Secretary, Coffey, and Gausha A.
Grow, and others who are away, are COM

BosToN, August 1.-Gen. Banks letter
declaring for Greeley is addressed to the
Chairman of tho Committee at Lynn, who
invited him to address the Republican meet
ing there tonight.
After thanking them for the invitation,
he expresses his regrets, saying he is not in
accord with the senders. In regard to the
Presidential canvass against his wishes and
interests, he feels compelled to say that
perpetuation of the present policy Of the
Government is not for the advantage of the
country, aud that it will not tend to estab-
lish its former prosperity nor promote the
interest Of any class of citizens. No per-
sonal feelings of any former character en-
