The Hon. II. B. ROOsevelt's Reas-
Ons for Supporting Horace Gree

The Hon. Robert B. Roosevelt, mem.
5er of Congress from this city, has ad.
dressed letter to the New York dele
gates to the Baltimore Convention, giv-
ing his reasons for supporting Horace
Greeley as the only Presidential candi,
date who can possibly defeat General
Grant. After referring to the almost
unanimous endorsement of Mr.. Greeley
by Democrats throughout the Country,
Mr. Roosevelt says:
There are three prominent matters of
dispute at present affecting the country !;
the first is the great question of corrup-
tion in office; the second is centraliza-
ton of power in opposition to the indie
pendence of the States, and the third is
the demand of the colored people for
negro supremacy under special laws pla-
cling the whites at disadvantage with
them. Upon these essential doctrines
Horace Greeley is Democrat, while
upon the tariff both parties have loose
hold on their members. If he can be
accepted he offers us an almost absolute
certainty of triumph, as he will not only
relieve our party from the unjust insin-
uations made by our enemies in refer
ence to our good faith in accepting the
results of the civil war, but will bring
to our support large body of dissatis-
fled Republicans. His strength among
the latter, although apparent already,
will not be fully manifested until he is
nominated at Baltimore, for without
that endorsement he has not the ele.

BrOlher.in.LaW Casey,

The resignation of Collector Casey,
Of New Orleans, the Presidents broth
er in.law, although demanded, or at
least it was stated, several months ago
in consequence of the damaging facts
elected before the Congressional Com
mittee, has not yet been received at the
Executive Mansion so far as the public
is informed, aud it is certain no success
or has been named. Casey has furnish
ed situations to the officers of negro
and other Grant clubs in order TO con-
troll the clubs in the interest of the re.
election of Senator Kellogg, whose term
expires next March. Should a change
be made in the Collectorship and suit
able man apr ointcd, these sinecures
would be abolished and the clubs dis
organized.
Kellogg has therefore urged upon the
President and the Secretary of the
Treasury The necessity of retaining Col
lector Casey in Office, and the President,
nothing 10th, does not insist upon his
resignation. In the meantime, no ex-
plantations are made regarding the dis
honest practices of Casey, made known
through the Investigating Committee.

ments Of success, and individuals are
oath to join hopeless cause.
There are signs of great uprising
of the people to express the disappro-
val SO generally felt with the present
administration: but without that, his
election, after such endorsement, is as
near certainty as future event can be.
Already his probable nomination has
secured us the great States of New York
and Pennsylvania, and brought about d
valuable and powerful combination id
Indiana, while il makes every Southern
State, with one passiblc exception, alb
solutely certain in his favor Of Mr..
Greeley's integrity and devotion to the
cause of an honest government it is un-
necessary to speak between us who
know him and among whom he has
lived the better part of his life On the
other questions involved his opinions
are equally well known, and accord per.
fectly with the acknowledged views of
the Democratic party. On essential
issues lie is, therefore, entirely in ac-
cord with us, SO that we make no sac
rifce Of duty Oh of honor in accepting
the advances of the party which has
nominated hihh, and asks for our sup.
port and assistance. s7F a sPt
On the other hand, if he is not &C.
cepted the dissolution Of the Democrat
ic party would seem inevitable No
straight-out Democrat has probability
of election, while no Liberal Republican,
could now be chosen so as to bring id
the supporters of. the Cincinnati move
ment, even if one could be found as
popular as Mr. Greeley. We have,
therefore, to consider the comparative
advantages of moderate concessiopss
which can afterward, at the proper time,
be again presented for the consideration
of the public, or we must prepare I'd
meet a crushing and overwhelming sde
feat with its concomitants of disorganE
cation and disintegration." The move:
ment in favor of Horace, Greeley has
gone too far to be stopped: the Liberal
Republicans are formally committed to
him, and his selection has taken so firm
a hold of the Democracy as to insure
4 its destruction should he be repddiated,
this dissatisfaction even, perhaps, going
SO far as to assume the form of bolt
from the Convention if less popular
candidate should be chosen at Baltimore.
These are the reflections which have in
fuenced me il the stand l have taken,
and l think It only just to myself to
submit them to yot for your considers.
ton. The present Crisis is a serious
one, involving nothing less than the
permanency of the great principles un-
der which our country has .iohrished
for so many years, and which can only
be preserved and restored through this
ement.-The responsibility of the
occasion rests with the delegates to the
National Convention soon to- meet at
Baltimore, and at so grave time you
: will notregard it as presumption onthe
part of any public man to express his
views of national and party necessities.

An Innocent Man In Prison Under
Sentence for Twenty Seven
Years, ..bfcfa t-f7Ell 81: ts-!
from the Toronto Gazette,

From the Toronto Gazette.
A man in State Prison sent word to IA
justice of the peace yesterday, in order
to make statement under oath that he
was the cause of fellow prisoner being
confined in Jail, on sentence of gtwen-
ty-seven years, for breaking and enter.
ing, An offence of which the man is en-
tirely innocent. These people are Ger
mans, and. as far as their statement. is
concerned, it appears that the man,
through the officers, was persuaded to
plead guilty, without knowing the effect
of any such plea, but under the general
idea and assurance that it would be
much better for him. The stunning
sentence of twenty seven years, ten
years for each of the indictments, and
seven on a third,o a man who had COM
mtted no offence, but who was at work
in another mans shop at the time the
burglary was committed, and who was
inveigled into the affair because, IS it
appears, he had purchased from the real
thief, who now makes the disclosure,
some articles said to have been stolen
such sentence, under the circumstan,
ces, must have fallen like death .knell
on the poor German when he came to
understand it. fm 80 'sg.s- a.

Jem Mace Whipped by a CaIIf0rs
MIA Drug Clerk. y q Z
From the San Francisco Chronicle.l

An interesting scene took place at the
circus on Saturday night, IN whic6r1a
we'll known San franciscan came or
with flying colors. A sparring match
had been arranged between .Jem Mace,
the champion, and Charles A. Bennett, a
celebrated athletic, belonging to, tho
California Olympic Club. Mr.. Bennett
is drug clerk on Third street. He was
in bovhood weak, puny fellow and
many thought he already had the con-
sumption, but for number of years he
has devoted himself to gvmnastic exer,
cises and entirely recovered his health.
Among other accomplishments he has
become proficient boxer. He is q
gentleman, moves in good society, and,
of colrse, you'll never think of
making use of his talent in a profess.
ional way i.lt3f y W. '91hf bIfe
But he thought he would like to shy
his castor at Mr.. Mace, in friendly
way, and Saturday night the match came
off. Bennett is five feet eleven inches
in height, and in weight the two. men
were evenly matched They put on the
gloves at 10 O'clock, and the match Be:
gan. Both men were stripped as though
for fight. BenEet's muscle stood up
in great knots on his arms, and his
physical development was far superior
to that of the champion. Mace led of;
but it was soon apparent from Fhis fall.
ing back on his well known ghting
tactics -caution=that be regarded Ben
nett as no mean antagonist. 'Bennet
parried most of the blows aimed at him
with consummate skill and grace, and
succeeded in getting several soekdolU.
gers home without the least apparent
effort. They fought six rounds in all;
in none of which did Benhet get the
worst of it. The exhibition was rat
tier, Bennett forcing the fighting all the
while, in way that made the redoubt.
able champion vince. Once Mace made
one of his lightning like lodges to
avoid blowofrom Bennett, but the lat;
ter, quick as thought, caught him with
left handed supper cut" which sent the
dodger sprawliag in the saw-atrst. At
this the enthusiasm in the audience be-
came great, and the boxers were noisilJ
cheered. Jack Wilson, the circus man,
became perfectly wild with delight, and
rushed into the ring waving his hat and
yelling Justify. Throughout the whole
scene Bennett was as active as a kitten,
thereby showing the result Of his GYM
nastie training, and, his skill in, the
"manly art" He met and psrried near
ly all of Mace's blows, the latter finding
it quite difficult to get. anywhere near
his knowledge box.'' On the contrary,
quick as Mace is at dodgihg and avoid:
ing blows, Bennett handed several crush
ers on his conk and "hash hsbasket.y At
the conclusion of the exercise Mace
seemed quite exhausted, while Bennett
was apparently as fresh as daisy The
champion has since expressed it asqhis
belief that no man on the Pacific coast
could beat the unpretcnding drug clerk
in fight, should he choose to enter the
lists. F-1 vs,4.74 ts.t - ..ra9 Y,Y,,,

How the Indirect Claims Were
OiNpOSed Of.

New YORK, June pa Geneva spe-
cial says the question of indirect claims
has been definitely settled in a manner
unexpected by any of the members of
the Court.
The American agent and Consul hav-
ing been instructed to declare that the
United States did not seek a money
award for indirect losses, but only de.
sired the settlement of the principle.
Lord Tenterden, on the part of his
Government, called attention to the
seventh article of the treaty, which
gives the Arbitrators only authority to
consider the claims in relation to the
money award, and submitted that since
the United States had declared that they
did not seek a money award for these
classes of claims they could not prop
erly be entertained by the Court. The
American Counsel thereupon demanded
judgment on this issue by the Court.
The Court took time for its decision.
but is known to have decided against
the admissibility of the indirect claims.
By vote of 936 to 1859, full vote,
Urbana township, Champaign County,
subscribes $4,000 to the Farmers and
Miners Railroad.
