what will come of that undertaking. Nobody,
of course, supDoSes that its candidate will stand
any chance Of election, but he might draw too
heavily on the Greeley vote. If, for instance
Charles 0'Conor were nominated, it would play
sad havoc with the majority with which Mr..
Greeley expects 'to leave the city in November.
The fact seems TO be that Greeley is not a candi-
date TO bear examination. The criticism of the
canvass tells on him as it probably never told
on any candidate before One of his promi-
nent supporters remarked in our hearing,
after the nomination at Cincinnati, that
or a izzle,' and the more ardent Greeley
men expected it TO prove an avalanche or, in
other words, expected to carry him into the
White house by hurrahing and repeating catch
words. This expectation has been completely
disappointed, and although the movement has
as yet by no means turned ont 'tiZZle,' dis
cussion tells on it daily. The result of the
North Carolina election mas scared the doubting,
and there has been a total stoppage of 'acces-
sions' Moreover, Grants silence compared TO
Greeley's nolse-for in the popular eye the lat
ter, his retirement TO the contrary nOtwithStand-
ing, is still the true editor of the Tribune-begins
to tell powerfully in Grants favor, and even to
excite a kind of enthusiasm about him which is
stimulated by the personal attacks on him. A
man who, in the midst of the insensate bowling
about his spending a couple of months at the
seaside, goes calmly TO the Thousand islands on
"a iaunt, and lets his enemies rave away
shows a quality by which the hearts of most
people are more or less stirred. BY TimeP

The ycternn EXPLAINS.

You ask little too much Cap;
don't see how we'll agree,
For the thing looks mighty different
To you than it does to me.
Those Johnnies fought us well, Cap,
know that told 'em so,
And shook their hands when they stacked their
arms
At the front, seven years ago.
I'll shake the hand of a soldier
Who fights as he thinks Is right,
And when the war is over
Is willing to give up the fight;
But this ''shake DER the bloody chasm"
= Means a different thing, you know, ,,
From shaking hands with ragged "reb"
At the front, seven years ago.
We let 'em of too easy, Cap;
In this think you'll agree
That some of 'em should have said their prayers
AT the foot of gallows tree;
For we pardoned the whole cabOOdle
The leaders as well as the men,
And now see they are trying game
To get into power again.
They led the democrats before the war,
And they want to do It again;
God help the north with Offices filed
BY Davis and that sort of men!
40u can't win the game without the south,
You know very well you can't,
And must count the cost of southern votes
10 help you in beating Grant.
find no fault with the times, Cap
For money is easy and free,
And plenty of odd jobs going
For plaYed-out wet" like me;
And the country seems to prosper,
The debt is fast being paid;
don't think a change for better
Could very well be made.
/ know they find fault with Grant, Cap,
They say he loves horses and smokes;
But then, an angel from heaven
Wouldn't suit that sort of folks.
| have looked at the matter careful
And ind that the trouble grows
From the fact that those lobby fellows
Can't lead him by the nose.
Inever liked Horace Greeley
And tell you fair and square,
God never made such man as he
To fill the presidents chair;
For he failed in the hour of trouble,
When things looked a little dark,
And such captain as that amt hit
To handle the Union barque.
And now it sounds mighty suspicious
To hear these fellows rant,
Call him honest Uncle Horace
And all that sort of cant.
Why, it amt hard to remember
How Greeley used to blow,
And call them thieves and traitors,
Not dozen years ago.
There's only one thing more cap,
That have got to say,
won't help to put into office
The leaders who wore the gray;
For the graves are in between MS
or the boys who wore the blue,
And died in fighting those rebels
Now voting along with you.
And "across the bloody chasm'
The north will never shake Ger,
Till the crimson hands of the leaders
Are clean on the other Shore
You may win the fight In November
hope and trust you can't
But the soldiers vote you'll never get
10 help you in beating Grant.-LOaoeH Courier

AN pN1MPREssIpE CEREMONY. 100 The Pail
Mall Gazette says: Considering that the house
OF lords is not yet abolished, and that the house
OF commons, at all events, is still nominally in
existence, 1t is almost to be regretted that when
her majesty does not prorogue parliament in
person, some more dgni6ed finale of the session
cannot he devised than that which took place on
Saturday. The house OF lords seems to have
been occupied on the solemn occasion by Lord
Redesdale, the bishop OF London, and few
ladies, When at two O'Clock the mace was de-
posted on the woOlsack and the hour had ar
rived for prayers, poor Lord Redesdale evidently
felt himself in an awkward position and his
voice was heard saying in anxious accents to

assumed devotional attitude. The bishop
then OBLIGATED, Lord Redesdale and Lord Crewe
forming the congregation. Prayers being
concluded, the bishop, probably thinking
the two noble lords you'd be none
the worse for little meditation, retired,
and a short pause ensued. What passed
through the minds Of their lordships will prob.
ably never be known, but Lord Redesdale's
thoughts were evidently Of disturbing nature,
for it is stated he first sat on the woosack, then
on the front opposition bcnch,i and then walked
about Cooking rather fdgetty.3 Lord Crewe
appears to have been more calm, and the awk-
ward stiffness was AZ last agreeably relieved by
