Mr.. GARRISONS LETTER.

The letter of VIM. Lloyd Garrison in
reply to the letter of Mr.. Sumner will
ring over the country as noble protest
against the fatuous course which the Mas
sachusetts Senator is pursuing. As one
of the earliest, ablest and most sagacious
aboitionists in the country, the views OF
Mr.. Garrison in relation to the policy of
the Greeley party are entitled to great
respect. In his opinion the course of Mr.
Sumner leads to the surrender of the ne
groes into hands that would return them
to slavery if possible, and give the con-
troll Of the government TO those who hate
it. Against these great Surreuders Mr..
Garrison protests.
From Mr.. Sumner he strips much of
the Wanted superiority he has claimed as
the earliest and best friend of the eolored
race, showing that Henry Wilson and
others had enlisted as abolitionSts some
time before Mr.. Samncr. ana that il was
not until scat in the Senate beckoned
him on that tine latter took a decided
stand.
Mr.. Garrison also lc@iews ne chlrac-
ter and aati-slavery and political record
of Mir Greeley with mastery band.
Never true to tnc aboiilionists, unwilling
even to be ranked as one until the negroes
were free, advocating secession by which
they would always have remained in
bondage, now Mr. Greeley claims the
everlasting gratitude and votes of the
blacks as the chef friend and promoter
of emancipation. The shallowness of
Mr.. Greeley's pretensions is thoroughly
exposed This is part of the history Of
the candidate for President OF the rebels
and old shareholders which Mr. Garrison
is familiar with from first to last. After
reading it we wonder less that Mr.. Gree
ley changed at once from republican to
a democrat upon receiving the nomination
for President. or that from a denouncer oil
Tammany and the ku- kluX he has turned
to the embraces Of both, and is willing to
close the bloody chasm by casting the
true Union men North and South under
the despotism of the proved enemies of
the government.
The republican party have TO thank the
letter Of Mr.. Sumner for drawing out some
of the most conclusive arguments and
telling facts against the election of Mr.:
Greeley that have yet appeared in the
;,,1
but it will be time well spent for every
voter to give it careful and candid peru

Republican, could ever be counted on at the

Mr.. Greeley will have TO do without one
valuable supporter. Ex-Controller Connolly
writes that he does not intend taking part in
the coming Presidential campaign; that he is
disguised with politics and politicians general
ly and desires to remain quiet.

The London Saturday Review is very dis
respectful to Mr.. Sumner. 1t speaks of that
great speech against the President as can en-
larged copy of a school boys theme" the ac-
casations against General Grant are put sin
pompous phrases, intersrersed with real and
imaginary example, from history" And the
Saturday Review is actually guilty Of sn, err
ing at Mr.. Summers rhetoric, for in vne place
it speaks of his ''barbarous language" and in
another characterizes the whole speech as
"tumid twaddle."

The Lewiston Journal says: .'We hear a
great deal said outside about Republican de-
fections in Lewiston. When one gets some
distance from Lewiston, this detection has
increased to hundreds. The simple facts are
that the Democrats have thoroughly cam
vassed the city for signers to a call for a
Greeley Club, and among their names are
eleven men who have voted the Republican
ticket. But large portion Of these eleven
Republicans will vote the Republican State
ticket in September. In November there
will be more Democrats of Lewiston vote for
Grant than there will be Republicans vote
for Greeley-l5 Democrats who will vote for
kimball in September having already signed
the call for Grant Club"

1t is doubtful if Mr.. Greeley will get one
hundred colored votes in Pennsylvania. The
general sentiment of the colored people, not
only in that State but elsewhere, was pretty
well expressed the other day by shrewd but
unlettered colored boatman at Pittsburg, who
said "Mass' Greelcys done been good nough
man hisself, but he got awful bad crew on his
boat No nigga can't risk passage on it dis
trip. We hasn't forgot what General Grant
done for us in de war, and we members what

The Bangor Wing says that during the re-
publican meeting at Lincoln, on Saturday af-
ternoon, very touching allusion was made
to the noble men who had lost their lives in
their countrys cause. A man sat in the as
sembly who had lost son in the war. He
had in his hand Greeley hat which had been
presented him by one Of that party, and at
the close of that eloquent tribute to the dead
heroes, he crushed the hat and threw it out
of the window, exclaiming: 'I'll never train
with that company again.

The Boston Journal says: at has been
stated that five members of the Congression-
al delegation from this State would ere long
pronounce for Greeley. SO far only one has
been found wanting, and there will not be an
other. General Banks departed and has ar
rayed himself with those who for many years
loaded him with abuse and made him the OBJ
ject OF their personal malice. A few facts
will suffice to silence these falsehoods."

that there are earnest murmurings among the

BOucicault's New Drama.

Mr.. Dion Boucicault's new specta
cular drama, Babil and Biiou,h is
having 4 great run at Convent Garden,
London. The author says it is intend
ed to represent the revolutions of this
age in poetry and art; but the audiences,
which applaud tor five hours the
five acts and eighteen "spectacles = of
which the play consists, probably
trouble themselves little about any
meaning that may underlie the gor-
geous panorama. The music, written
by Herve, Clay, Revirie and Sir Jules
Benedict, is, of course. good, and what
acting there is is well done. The mag
niticence of the appointments may be
seen from the care taken in a few minor
details The armor of the Knights Is
made of electroplate, at cost of
e2, 600; IN the fern scene the ferns
are of floss silk and in the 9 orchard
scene the many fruits are fashioned
of wax As everything of this sort
seems to pay, we shall, probably, ere
many years, rival the barbaric magnlti
cence OF the spectacles exhibited by
the later Emperors of Rome.

A Uantle OF Bees-and no Sting.

A French paper, the Independence
de lEst, relates that at village near
Florenville duke mhourg), a gentle
man walking along the side of wood
saw some bees swarming on stray
Cling branch of an oak tree. He went TO
fetcn hive, and returned with wood
cutter named Guiot, who climbed the
tree, and sitting astride of the branch,
cut off the extremity OF it, upon which
the swarm hung. An unexpected re-
suit followed; instead of falling to the
ground, the swarm dispersed, and,
rising like whirlwind, settled on the
head of tie unlucky Gniot, who was
stillsitting on the branch forty-five
from the ground. The bystanders
shuddered Surely, they thought, he
will be seized with giddiness, and tor
tured by thousand stings, he must
fall TO the ground But Guiot called
up all his strength of mind and re
NAMED perfectly still till the swarm
had formed two long wreaths hanging
from his temples, and waving as he
moved ; then, half blinded by the in
sects, which also covered his face and
body, he contrived to descend from his
elevated position, taking the greatest
care not to irritate this living mantle.
When he arrived on terra TRINA hive
was placed on bis shoulder, but three
hours elapsed before the bees would
take possession of their new home.
When this happy change was effected
the poor woodcutter's wild delight ties
titled to the intensity of tie anxiety and
discomfort he had endured.

Price If Meat IN London.

A great agitation is going on now i'll
London about the high price of meat.
The democratic and trade societies of
London have been constantly holding
meetings. in Trafalgar square to con-
slider what steps should be taken to
prevent continuance of the grievance,
and the general conclusion is, that its
principal cause is the game laws. In
Scotland, especially, large tracts OF
land which formerly supported large
herds of cattle have been turned INTO
deer forests and grouse moors. An
agitation has there been begun in Lon
don against these laws, having at its
head the newly-formed Anti Game Law
League (of which Mr.. 2. A. Taylor, NJ.
p, is PresldenD. In all probability,
at all elections for some time to come,
this question will be one of those upon
which the contest will be fought The
League has already made It's influence

there Will be placed line of very large

frances of the Straits of Magellan, for
the purpose of towing sailing vessels
bound to and from the west coast of
South America through the Straits,
thus doing away with the difficult and
Outlines dangerous voyage round Cape
Horn. 1t is believed that the services
of this new steam-tug company will

ture deserves, and that, in future, the
disasters to the vessels making the pas
sage round the Horn will be few and
far between, as the cost of towing

timated, be not more than 600 to
