AN ILL-THRowN BooMnRANG.-Mr, Gree
ley Kao,o-Nothing.-Mr. Horace Greeley,
seventeen or eighteen years ago, was as we'll
as Mr. Henry Wilson, a Know-nothng. Yield
ing to the political exigencies of the time, he,
az well as Mr.. Wilson, drifted with that tide
and used his influence to aid and comfort the
Know-Nothng party. We do not say that he
was right; We do not say that he was wrong
We do not raise the question whether in 1872
we shall Try by absolute principle the conduct
of politicians, who, in 1S54-5, were governed by
the political expediencies of the moment But
this we do insist upon as bare juStice-that if
Mr. Greeley is to be acquitted becaus. political
expediency i'll 1S54-5 is not to be measured by
the political principles of 1872, like mercy shall
be extended to MIR. Wilson; but that il, tried
by the political principles of 1872, Mr. Wilson
at that remote period is to be iheld up to the
execration of the "foreign clement" q gibbet
of precisely the same shape and dimensions.
and covered with precisely the 50 ne devices
shall be erected for Mr. Greeley
In September, 1854 or 1855, but in which year
we are not quite certain . Know Nothing
meeting was held in Kingston Ulster county.
in this State, and at that meeting Mr.. Greeley
was one of the speakers Resolutions were
passed, and though they are not given in the
brief report of the meeting which we remem-
Der to have seen, it may be fairly assumed that
thsy were of the usual Know-Nothing charact-
er. MI. Greeley, in his speech, avowod his ap-
proval of them. He attended the meeting, not
as an opponent, but as friend and an advo-
cate of Know-Nothing doctrines. Know Moth
ingism in Ulster County, New York, was just
as hideous-or just rs lovely, whichever it was
as in Suffolk county, Massachusetts. 1t was
just the same in Massachusetts, politician as
piring to seat in the legislature, as it was in a
New York party editor aspiring TO seat in
well, anywhere. If to be Know-Nothing was
in one of these men crime, or a blunder, it
could not have been a virtue or an evidence of
wisdom in the other Whatever it was in Will
son, that also was it in Greeley. Ii it was a
bad thing in . man who was to be Vice Pres
dental candidate in 1872, it was worse thing
in the man who was to be a Presidential candi-
late in 1872 The half column day, more or
ess, which the Tribune has hurled for weeks
past at Henry Wilson, because he was Know
Nothing seventeen or eighteen years ago, any
Grant and Wilson paper may take Uerbatin, ct
iteratina, substituting Greeley's name only for
Wilson, and hurl them back at the Tribunes

RAYMOND, Sept. 4th, 1872.
To the Editor of the Press: .e
A few days since very influential Demo
crat and worthy citizen of the town of Gray,
met an old friend of his whom he had not
seen before for several years. At their last
meeting some four years ago both were Dem
ocrat, The Democrat from Gray not know
ing his friend had become a Republican,
greeted him, exclaiming, 81 am so sorry we
nominated Greeley. He has sent us all to
the d.. 1t has killed us forever. Greeley is
bitter pill. l can't nor shan't vote for him.
We are all used up and we know it; yet we
must show good courage" This is the strain
our good Democrat INDUCED in, denouncing
Greedy and his policy. Mr.. Republican felt
much elated over the honest sentiments of
Mr.. Democrat and babe him Mr.. d. good
afternoon, leaving him ignorant of the fact
that he no longer trains in the company that
Horace Greeley calls thieves, burglars, muir
derers, &C., &c.
-Four stron g minded Democrats here in my
own neighborhood say harder things Of Gree
ley than Greeley ever said of them, though
Greeley villified them until he exhausted the
very vocabulary of slang.
A very estimable Democrat said to me
few days since: "No good, candid, sober
thinking man, either Democrat or Republican,
will support Horace Greeley. We dare not
trust him. We see where he has BEEHIVE
know where he is now, and that is all we do
know or want to know" VOTER.

A Bill IN lsELATIoS TO TIE SAVINGS BANS
or PENSsYLvANIA.--Mr. Senator Dcchcrt has
introduced a bill into the Senate of this State
in regard to unclaimed deposits in savings
banks and institutions of that character. lie
proposes that when the accumulatlons OF
saving banks and institutions exceed i'll al!
five years fifteen per cent. OF the liabilities,
IL" oycrplus snail be divided among the de-
posiior-. This means that the profits made
upon the investment Of deposits shall bu

tiiai giving them to the State, as has been
occasionally proposed. The bill also coll-
;ans Il proyiso that all deposits unclaimed
Tor thirty years shall be paid to the State,
subject TO the right of redemption within ten
wears. In regard to this we suggest that the
period named rs the limtf0r the continuance
OF the deposit may in some cases be entirely
too short.
Among the depositors in such institutions
are children encouraged by their parents in
habits Of saving and economy, some Of whom
commence their deposits ut SO early an aye
that it might be Of advantage to them not 10

person making deposit ut twenty years OF
aye would forfeit it if not withdrawn ut the
age of fifty. The period during which the
deposit could remain might be made longer
with advantage. Neither do we perceive
why, wien the deposit is paid over to the
State, the real owner shall forfeit it entirely
unless he applies for it within ten Years. The
State can have no equitable claim to the
money ut any time, tie only ground for its
forfeiture ought to be the fact that there is

TIE SuAEPEsT BANK SwISpLE YET RECORD
ED.-The Kansas City Netcs gives the follow
ing account Of the latest swindle on record {:
a well-dreSsed gentleman, who for idcnti-
fication we will call Smith, entered the bank,
and in q straightforward, busineSs-like man.
ncr desired the bank to advance him the sum
OF $500 on a draft drawn by 4 banking firm
III II neighboring State. The parties being
strangers, the ls,nk informed him they could
not advance the money. "Wcl," said Smith.
"it will make 10 difference. You can take
the draft and send it forward for collection,
and | viii wait until YOU get returns This
was agreed to by the bank, and the draft was
sent forward for collection. In due time the
bank received u handsomely gotten up draft
on clearinghouse in New York, with the
proper Government stamp printed in, for the
sum of $500; which amount was duly paid
over TO Smith, who departed.
The draft was sent to New York, and in a
few days the bank received the consoling i'll
formation that the whole transaction was
complete and successful fraud and swindle.
This is a game which could easily have
been played upon the most careful banking
house in the country.
