SIR. Greeley's Mental Ailment.

DIR. w. \. Hammond, surgeon general
of the army, was called TO see Mr. Greeley
shortly before his death, and says:
His delirium was characterized by an
incoherence of expression and by extreme
disorder in the arrangement of his ideas.
The delirium was of a very low character,
and clearly indicated his approaching dis
solution. He exhibited marked tendency
TO repeat certain expressions which appear
ed habitual to him."
Dr. Crackowiser says: He seemed to
be continually dwelling on some unpleas-
ant subject. He thought himself a ruined
man. aud believed that he dragged his
friends down with him."
In the Golden Age Theodore Tilton re-
lates the following of his interviews with
Horace Greeley:

The Whipping Post.

A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press thus details one of those terrible
scenes which disgraces the little State of
Delaware
The Sheriff came out of the Jail, follow
ed by the keeper, who was leading stout
ly built colored man, who had a coat
thrown loosely over his shoulders. The
crowd made gap, and the prisoner was
taken to the post and his hands fastened in
pair of iron cuffs above his head. The
spectators laughed and brutally comment
ed upon the unfortunate wretch. The
coat was taken off, and he stood shivering
and trembling in the intense cold, and di-
rectly in the path of the wind-current from
the gate. The Sheriff grasped the whip in
his right hand, the keeper stood off to the
left and folded his arms; the lash was rails
ed and brought down with considerable
force across the shoulders of the victim,
while the keeper Tailed the strokes in a
heavy, sonorous voice.
The man trembled, and sharp cry of
pain escaped from his lips. The lash had
left its mark in several white welts, which
quickly filled with blood. The spectators
pushed to obtain a position so as to see the
naked back, while the blows fell with reg
ular time upon the poor wretch's flesh
The pain seemed to be growing intense
for the man flinched and bent his body III
and out as if each thong as 1t fell upon
him cut like knife. The twentieth
stroke, which was the last, was reached
The keeper cried out "all up" and the
wretch was unlOosened; he picked up his
coat and threw it upon his back, and walk

cell, while the crowd sent behind him
brutal laugh, and complimented the Sher

THE BOARD OF TRADE LECTURES.
The First of the Course Delivered Las
Night.

The first of the series of lectures an
nounced by the Board of Trade was delv-
cred last night at the Trade Rooms, 10y A.
J. Kicks, Esq.
Subject: The Camp, the March, the Bat
tletield.
The lecturer stated at the outset that,
though under new title, his lecture was
an old one, prepared some six years ago
and delivered before the Literary Societies
of the East Tennessee University. His
object he said was to contrast the expe-
riences of war as they actually occur with
that ideal picture of army life that most
persons entertain from youth to maturer
years. After some observations as to the
manner in which false notions of the
soldiers life were encouraged in histories
and pictorial representations of battlefields,
he began his picture of the real life of the
soldier. He gave full explanation of the
organization of armies in the field, some
interesting figures as to the immense trains
needed for army operations, of the vast
stores consumed by men and animals and
of the cumbersome nature OF the armies
movements. He gave full detail of the
work of the General in command of
armies, of the way their plans were matur-
ed and the intimate relations
of the plan and preparations to their
result. He efiectually dispelled the idea
of chance entering so largely into the re-
suits of battles as many seem to think and
showed from history many instances of
victory following plans matured long be-
fore the actual struggle began. He gave
some interesting facts connected with the
late Franco Prusian war, and with the At
lanta campaign of Sherman and Johnston,
rs showing the absurdities of many of the
popular ideas of battle. His facts were in
terspersed with some humorous anecdotes
of camp life, illustrating the proverbial
wit of the soldier. He closed with some
illusions to the fearful war ornaments of
Europe and the great wrong such belliger-
emit demonstrations inflicted upon the
masses of the people. Referring to the re-
cent peaceful Arbitration at Geneva he
hoped the time would soon come when
such settlement of national differences
would end the terrible strife of the battle
field.

PURIFYING NEW YORK CUSTOM
HOUSE,
for denomination

The President has authorized the repub-
licans in New Hampshire to say that he
will correct the abuses found to exist in
the New York custom house Judging
he means to keep his word. President
Grant has shown no favor to corruption
or wrongs in office. The evils which
have arisen or been suffered to exist DUR
ing his administration have not had his
consent. The most of them have been
such as took root in the civil service under
the democratic administrations from Jack
son to Buchanan, and sanctioned by long
usage and forbearance have been difficult
to eradicate. Nevertheless the President
has boldly grappled with them. The civil
service shows improvement. Defauliers
and rogues in Office when detected have
been brought before the courts to receive
the punishment due their offences. Until
the present administration it was rare that
dishonesty in office was exposed and pun
ished by the party in power. Now the
government is vigilant in ferreting out
and prosecuting wrong-doers holding Of
flee. 1t is not pleasant task for the adj
ministration to engage in, but the Presi-
dent has never shrunk from the perform
ance of the ungracious duty.
Already in the removal of Collector
Murphy he has manifested his good inten
tons towards the New York custom house
The abuses which have been discovered
by the recent investigation will be prompt
ly removed. 1t did not need the word of
the President to the republicans in New
New Hampshire to make known that fact.
But those who suppose that the President
will receive any credit from the democra-
cy Tor an honest attempt to cleanse the
New York custom house are greatly mis-
taken. The more faithfully he labors the
louder will ring their charges of corrup-
ton, and the more will his character be
blackencd. Added to the fear which they
have that he will add to his already large
popularity among the people who do not
hold office by his strict supervision over
Office holders and holding them to a strict
accountability, is their dislike to him for
breaking over the democratic precedent of
shielding robbers in Office The latter is
something they cannot forgive.

The Indian policy of President Grant has
received the heartiest endorsement from a
Democratic quarter. Mr.. Beck, of Kentucky,
one of the ablest Democrats in Congress, de-
clared during the debate of Tuesday that Gen.
Grants policy on this subject was the best in
all respects ever enforced by any administra-
ton. AS a member of the Committee on ap-
propriationsl asst year, he is familiar with the
details of its operations, and the high en-
comium coming from such a so URGE is special

Gov. Yarmouth and Ex-Speaker Carter,
the two leaders of the rival political factions
in New Orleans, met at the st. Charles Hotel
the other day, and notwithstanding the bitter
feud between them, more bitter, apparently,
than that existing between the Montagues and
Capulets, they blandly shook hands, engaged
in friendly confab, and perhaps (the reporter
is not sure on this point took drink-much

to witness combat that should place in the

Papers presented before the Custom House
Investigating Committee at New York show
that, while Grinnell was collector, Horace
Greeley recommended forty-nine persons to
places in the custom-house, of whom fifteen
were appointed. Since Grants accession,
Greedy has nominated seventy-two persons to
custom house berths, Senator Fenton twenty
eight, and Senator Conkling fifteen.

Augusta, Feb. 10, 1872.

Leap-year parties are coming into vogue at
Troy. AT one last week, of which the Times
has an account, some of the gentlemen pres
ent were attred in a sem-female dress, the
head-gear being good imitation of the style
which prevails among the ladies. One of
these female personators wore earrings and a
necklace, and cooled his fevered brow with a
fan, which he waved to and fro with artless
grace, and behind which he concealed his
bushes as the ladies boldly told to him their
tales of love. When supper was announced
the gentlemen were served in the parlor by
the ladies, and after the former had eaten
their fill the fair servitors withdrew to the
dining-room, where they had sort of high
carnival, leaving the gentlemen to console
themselves as best they might with each
others society. This was retaliatory act
upon the men for their exclusiveness when
they are in power.
