*Rev. SoIia Martin (colored), of louisiana,
writes TO the New York Tribune
1.-The COlOrei man in the South was initiated
into the mysteries of suffrage by white men
who magni1ied the sacredness of the political
oath administered, and intensified supcrstitious
fears as to the penalties which would overtake
the eoLorei nan who tried to escape from ESQ
teFic bondage. Though leagues are no longer
in existence, the col6Teet Llan still slvers with
fear at the ghosts they have Ieft 1e md them
In every parish of this State there il so1ae 0iie
tions, and the majority of colored people will
take no other ticket tIial the one sent by this
authorized distributor. The haiiiRg signs,
watch words, passwords, and grips of tile pass
have been translated into size, color, ana de-
vice, as to these ticketS.''

WORCESTER, Aug. %, 1872.
Editor Of the Spy. Dear Sir: / was some
what surprised to see my name in your paper
this morning as one Of the vice presidents of a
Greeley and Brown club, organized in this city
last night. [ am not in public life, and there.
fore cannot suppose that my position is mat.
ter Of much interest to the public, still do not
wish to be misunderstood. | had hoped, in
common with many good republicans, to be able
to cast my vote for some one of the many able
men in the party, other than General Grant. |
confess feeling of disappointment at his re
nomination. Had an able, trusty, honest man,
been nominated at Cincinnati, in an honest
manner,I should have supported lin, but [
never contemplated casting my vote for Horace
Greeley. "Of two evils choose the least" |
cannot see how Greeley, with his record and
probable surroundings, would be any improve
ment on Grant; therefore l propose to stick to
the republican party until something better is
offered, and if cannot take an active interest
in the presidential campaign, do propose to
use my best efforts for the success of the state,
congressional, and local republican tickets.
Very truly yours,

John Bright.
The following anecdote of Mr.. Bright, t

The following anecdote of Mr.. Bright though
not new, may be worth retelling:
"StOries once more crop up concerning him,
one Of which at least can guarantee as genuine
1t is in connection with .he irst occasion of his
going down to Windsor Castle as one of her
majesty's ministers. The queen, it seems, more
clear-sighted than her cOurtiers, among whom
the Right Honorable John Bright is anything
but popular ('dam radical fellow, by Jove, sir,
ETC., etc., had every wish to please him; she
knew his power, and she was also personally
drawn toward him in spite of his democratic
opinions, by the manner in which he had de
Tended her on one occasion from an attack of
MIR. Ayrton respecting herinattention to affairs;
SO she sent for Mr.. Helps, her clerk of the coun-
Gil, and thus addressed him. 4 know all these
gentlemen who are coming to the castle to-day ,
said She, except Mr.. Bright This was likely
enough the idea of making the man a minister
OF whom tue late Lord Derby said in the house
of lords tina. the queen would have none of him
seemed preposterous until It was done.l And
wish to be particularly civil, added She to Mr.
Bright. Pray inform him that if any of the
usual ceremonies seem unpleasant to him, they
shall be Omtted-the taking the oath, the kneel-
ing, the kissing OF hands, and so on So Helps
met Bright and informed him of her maiesty's
kind intentions before he entered the hall of
audience. 1T is the queens command said he
that the oath of allegiance shall in your case be
dispensed with, should you object to take it,.
CITY ROOu5 Sdll DrlRHt, 10 say truth, tax
ing oaths is not in my way though believe
am as faithful a subject of her majesty as any
who do so.'
Then there is the kneeling, Mr. Bright Her
majesty begs you will not trouble yourself to
kneel before her unless You please
We'll, that's very good Of her. The fact is,
do not much like the notion Of going down on
my knees, even to a queen
Moreover continued Helps, her majesty
bids me say that if you have any objection to
kissing her hand
'O0jectionl broke in honest John; far from
it,; ! should like it, man.
Aud indeed he did ii as If he liked it., and so
charmed the queen with his naturalness and
good sense that she is said to have remarked
that he was the most agreeable politician she
ever met which is certainly saying n good deal
for him, considering the extent of her acquaint-
ance in that line. With all his indignant intol
erance and impatience Of contradiction, he is
indeed Of a most genial disposition, and per-
haps next to Lord Palmerston, was personally
the most popular man in the house Of commons.
AT all events no other mans society was so ca
gerly sought in the place where he was most
given TO shiue-namely the parliamentary
smokng-room while taking him all round,
there is, perhaps no man living whom the ma
tion is more proud to point 20 as very type,
though indeed, II must be confessed, favorable
one of an Inglishman"

GREELEY AS SoCIALIsT.-The Oneida Cir
cular of August 10 publishes the following
answer 10 a correspondent as a leading article :
"a correspon lent inquiries whether our pub
hcatlons have ever contained any article by
Horace Greeley on FourieriSm or socialism We
suspect that the inquirer is an enthusiastic adj
vocate of the liberal-Tepublican-d democratic can
didate, and would be glad TO obtain evidence
that Mr.. Greeley has had little or nothing to do
with the socialistic movement in this century
but it is possible that he is an enthusiastic Grant
man, and is hunting for evidences of Greeley S
past social radicalism In either case, the inquiry
evinces a lamentable lack of familiarity, not
only with the last publications of the c0mmu-
nifty, but with the current literature of the last
thirty years. For the introduction of Fourier
ism into this country, and for the scores of
experiments in practical association which fol-
lowed, Mr.. Greeley is more responsible than
any other man save Albert Brisbane. He
opened the Tribune to the Fourier propaganda
lists; he wrote and lectured on Fouriersm; he
visited various associations; he attended Fou-
rierislic conventions; he became the treasurer
to one association, and offered to loan S12 900
to another; he pledged his property TO the cause
OF association; he carried on in the Tribune a
SIX months controversy with Henry j. Ray
mOnd, editor Of the New York Times on the
subject Of Fourierism, in which he defended the
principles of the French philosophers and in a
thoHoanu OtutI ways ne eAplesSeu us great III
terest in the cause of socialism. We have al
ready cited in the Circular (see the issue of May
6th) the reference of the index to Mr.. Noyes's
History of American Socaisms,' in which Mr..
Greeley's name occurs. Our correspondent,
whether q Greeleyite or Granite, would do
well TO procure that work. and if, alter reading
it, he desires to learn still more of Mr. Greeey's
past connection with socialism and something
of his present position regarding it, let him
read the chapters on Socialism, and Social
istic Efforts in Mr.. Greeley's 'Recollectons of
Busy Life >"
