Mr.. Greeley boarded the steamer Bristol at New
port on Thursday night at nine O'Clock, on his re-
turn trip home. He came down to the Long Dock
in Colonel Warnings dog cart, having left the read
ing democratic club room at eight quietly
as he had entered it, He carried his black carpet
bag in his hand, wore his white hat and brown
duster. and to casual observer looked as bright
and happy as big sunnOwer. He evidently fiat
tered himself that, for once, he had made
AN IMPORTANT MOVEMENT
without the reporters having heard Oft. 1t was
little too much to expect even OF 80 appr0achabe
Presidential candidate as Mr.. Greeley, that he
should make disclosure OF immense party secrets
like the Newport interview to the publishers Of
news. He arranged the matters very skifully, but
rather like dipl0matist than an old newspaper
man, and It was O pardonabe piece Of vanity in
him, no doubt, to congratulate himself on having
hidden his movements from the argus eyes Of the
HERALD When the boat showed or from the Long
Dock, however, the reporter, In passing the compll

exhaust itself as to the result OF this mysterious
Newport conference, but that there was a confer
ence OF great political Importance there can be no
doubt. At this conference Chief Justice
Chase Colonel Waring and Governor Law
renee were certainly present, representing
the advanced democracy, and probably Governor
Holman and Royal Phelps were also among the
number. Whether Greeley foreshadowed his policy
in case of his nomination at Baltimore and elcc-
ton In November, whether indeed he indicated
the complexion OF his future Cabinet, are matters
not altogether improbable. Certain 1t Is that the
Philosopher looked composed and cheerful on his
return to the boat. During the night he had
ANOTHER CLOSE CONFERENCE
with gentleman on board, whose name was not
ascertainable. General J. H. Butler, OF Name,
Baltimore delegate, and Mr. F. o. Prince, the secre.
tary Of the National Democratic Committee were
on board, but had no special conferences with the
sage. Indeed, they did not happen to meet one
another until the boat was about rounding into her
pier on North River. This Mr. 7. o. Prince ID re-
