Some one, ':whom God for some in

Some one, "whom God for some in
scrutablc reason permits to edit a
country paper,' says that Horace
Greeley is in his dotage and weak old
man. This is not true, and is moreover
an outrage upon the good old man.
MIR. Greeley has preserved his bodily
vigor through a long life by the most
thorough abstinence from all evils but
Radicalism and profanity. Unfortu-
nately he does swear, and his regular
Sunday maps at DR.. Chapin's church do
not seem to have moderated him at all
in this respect, nor does this vicious
habit appear to have interfered in any
manner with his robust condition. At
an age when most men think about
getting religion and gsing to heaven,
Mr.. Greeley still ambles along in the
old ways. Every day, rain or shine,
he may be seen at Chappaqua, plowing
the land Of his Edcn-like estate. His
daily dask is three and quarter acres,
and then he turns his attention to drain
ing and dredging for few years, after
which he weeds out dozen or so acres
Of turnips and onions, goes for the cows,
drives them home and milks every COW
himself, and they are nineteen in num-
ber. All this is his early recreation,
after indulging in which he goes down
to the Tribune Office; swears at all the
boys from the the press room to the
roof, writes eight or ten columns, answers
hundred or two letters OH politics and
agriculture, and is then taken to the
train under escort of that benevolent
old gentleman Jenny, and rides away a
hundred or two miles to fill a lecture
enga cement the same nj ght. He returns
to his farm early next morning and be-
gins anew the daily labor. Does any
body think this remarkable man is in
his dotage?

Theodore Tilton, once editor of the
Independent, now of the Golden Age,
piously exclaims: "Save me from God
who damns - Because of the sturdy
blows you deal to that bulwark of rot
tenness and sin, the Grant adninistra-
tion, it would crafty us could your
prayer be answered. But, Theodt re,
We fear that in helping to make that
infamous state Of things you now con-
demn, you have committed 1.-THE un-
pardonable sin,' mentioned in holy
writ, and that the"God who damns' has
too fearful a record against you.

Some newspapers, that support Grant

Some newspapers, that support Grant
of course, remark that the Democratic
papers seem to publish the political no.
tees Of the reform Republicans. Yes,
we have noticed the same thing. The
reason probably is that the Republican
editors, most of them, hold some Office
under Grant, which shuts out such
notices from their papers. The N. Y.
Tribune publishes list of over 100
editors in New York that Grant owns
by giving them some little office. No
one has compiled the list in Iowa that
he thus owns.

LOCATION OF THE GREAT TELEscoPE-Pro.
fessor Davidson Of the coast survey, is expert
menting near Summit station, on the Sierra
Nevada, at an elevation 1900 feet above the sea
to determine the relative importance of great
and small altitude in the use OF ihe telescope
for Investigations Of physical astronomy. II is
understood that he has been completely suc.
cesslul and will recommend u location about
ten thousand feet above the sea, near the line Of
the Central Pacific railroad from which il can
be readily REACHED by q short and easily con-
structed wagon road. Professor Young Of
Dartmouth college has been experimenting with
larger instruments at Sherman. on the Rocky
mountains, at an elevation of S242 feet above
the sea. The result Of these observations viii
be presented In reports that will probably lead
to the locating of the twenty-seyen inch refract-
ing telescope at one Of these elevation. The
lenses for this telescope are being ground by
the Messrs. Clark of Cambridgep0rt, Mass, for
the United States government, and AZ an ex-
pense of nearly $50,OO0. With such telescope,
and the high magnilying power OF which Ii Viii
admit the use, there is not over one or two nights
per year on the low Atlantic coast where il
could be used with its highest magnifyng pow
ers. On the Sierra, with our long freedom from
clouds, many more favorable opportunities

AT the organization in St Louis of a Greeley
and Brown campaign club, under the name of
"Pecl's LEGION" learned and ingenious gen.
tleman named Ryderitook leading part. This
gentleman's researches appear to have been
chiefly in the fields of etymology and history,
and he has found curious things there, some Of
which he produced for the instruction of his
comrades of the legion. Political asSemblages
are not often favored with such display of
learning. From the report of Mr.. Ryder's re-
marks in the st. Louis Globe, we make the fol-
lowing extract:
"The origin of politics he attributed to the in
testine difficulties of early Greece, where the Oi
pOlloi, dissatisfied with the measures adopted by
a limited congress- insisted upon a larger repre-
sentatiOn. Those of you, said he, who have
reflected upon this era in the history of Greece,
will the more readily comprehend the necessity
and the nature of that uprising when you take
into consideration the difficulties with which
that powerful nation was then contendiug.
Thermopylae, governed by powerful prince,
SpattacuS, threatened her with incursons from
the north; Hannibal had declared war upon h er
from the south, and had fitted out a powerful
feet; Carthage, on the east, had demanded
reparation for an insult to her flag, and Marus
had equipped the largest army ever put in the
field. On the west, ROmulus and Remus were
building a wall designed TO cut off the water
privilege of the distracted nation, and with these
war aspects in her sky and dissensions in her
midst, Greece was compelled % yield to the i'm
portunities Of her people, and hence what we
call politics. But our deliberations tonight will
not necessarily involve this historical research.

Illinois has an excellent illustration of the
reform tendencies of the Greeley party, in the
person of the secretary of that state, an enthusi
astic Liberal reform republican" as that sort
of people choose 10 call themselves. He is by
law the custodian of the state house and
grounds, with the furniture and other property
used for state purposes, and is required to keep
the house and grounds in good condition and
repair, and to keep the furniture, etc., locked
up during the recess of the legislature, and per-
nit no part of it to be used during the recess,
for any purpose whatever. Yet this reform Sec
rotary has supplied several democratic
club rooms with the states furniture,
has allowed the state house grounds TO
be used for democratic meetings until
the shrubbery and flower beds are destroyed, and
the place, as an observer says Clocks as desolate
as pig-pen." The excellent secretary also has
allowed the iluminatons for night meetings
held in the state house grounds, to be supplied
by gas pipe connected with the state house pipe
above the meter, so that the state besides furni-
ture and grounds, furnishes gas light gratuit-
ously for the Greeley party. All this is of not
much consequence except to the people of
Illinois, who may prefer that their officers
should obey the laws before setting up as
relormers.

1t is reported that so many of the demo-
Gratis, in the fifth congressional district, refuse
TO support Gen. Banks for congress, that he will
not be nominated by the confederate Greeley
ties. They prefer Richard rockingham, it is
said. The republican candidate in that district
is likely to be Mr.. Gooch; and he is as sure to
be elected by a large majority as the sun is to
rise on the fifth of November. Another report
says Gen. Banks, having no hope of being
elected in his own district proposes to establish
a residence in Boston, by boarding at one of the
hotels, and canvass for a nomination against
Mr.. Hooper These reports may or may not be
correct. We can say only that they are current,
and that those from whom we have received
them, affirm that they are true. Gen. Banks
does not now stand very high in the
estimation of any party. 1t was as pre-
siding officer in legislative bodies that he gained
some reputation. He was always superfcial
and now he is, in more ways than one, notable
failure. We notice that the Greeley organs
have ceased to talk of him as their candidate for
governor. Why is this? If they should nomi-
nate him for governor, it would give us very
great pleasure to spend part of the fifth of
November in East Walpole, in order 10 see our
old friend, F. w Bird, vote for him. MIR. Bird
at the polls, conquering his preludices, and
voting for N P. Banks, would be something to
enjoy, something richer than pentacostal love
