Turf Notes.

Some seventy or eighty horses are
already located at Jerome Park. and
may be seen almost any day taking
their daily exercise on the main track,
which is being rapidly put in good
order. Part Of Colonel McDaniePs lot
arrived there a week ago, and the re
mainder are expected to-day or to-mor-
row, including the famous Harry Bassett
and the promising three year old Joe
Daniels. Mr.. Withers and several
other stables are expected TO arrive
early in the week. Of those that have
been at the track all winter, DR.. Wei
don's and Eph. Snediker's are looking
as fine as any, especially Mr.. Darlings
two imported colts in the Doctors
stable.
At Long Branch, New Jersey, the
Monmouth Association ARE pushing
things. They have raised their track
eight inches all round, and are now
building new club house. Ia connec.
ton with the great race for the Mon
mouth Cup, on the ID of July, when
Harry Bassett and Longiellow are
expected to meet, Col. Tom Scott has
promised that when Uncle John Har-
per is ready to bring Lougiellow East
he will send one OF the best fitted up
cars under his control to Lexington
and bring the pet Of Kentucky direct
to Long Branch by passenger trains and
without a change of cars. The feeling
on this race is on the increase in Ken,
lucky and the West, and it is safe to pre-
dict that there will be more money
depending on this race than on any one
since the war. Woodforl county, KY,
people say they will back the gallant
son Of bennington to a man, while
New York and the East will go equally
strong on Harry Bassett.-S'mddy ".

for indirect damages was never supposed
bv the British Commissioners to be
included in the treaty OF Washington,

working OF the treaty has not persuaded
them to the contrary, but has confirmed
their original and publicly expressed
belief. He was gratified at having had
the honor of being one Of the signers OF
the treaty, and had the frmest faith IN
the principle Of arbitration. Other
toasts were given and responded TO,
and the festivities continued to late

with more promptneSs to the consld-
Grafton OF so much Of the bill as in
wolves the tax on teas and coffee. The
Times considers it the important duty
OF Congress to decide on the bill one
wav or the other, as it is likely to prove
ruinous to many firms affected by this
tax

The Democratic National Conyen-
ton which assembled in the city of
Baltimore on the 9th inst, regularly
NOMINATED Horace Greeley, of New
York, as the Democratic candidate for
President, and B. Gratz Brown, OF
Missouri, as the Democratic candidate
for Vice President of the United
States It viii be seen by the pro-
ceedings which we publish at consid-
erable length in this issue, that these
nominations were made with q una
nimity and hailed with an enthusiasm
and cordially seldom witnessed in
National Conventions. 2 seN asiiAa
Whatever may have been our own
individual preferences or, views as to
the sprepriety of the course adopted
by the Convention, its action has LETT
us no alternative but to support the
candidates they have thus unanimous
ly placed before the people for their
sufffages To do otherwise would be
to aid in continuing the rule of the
present corrupt and depotic dynasty,
for nothing in the future is more eer-
tain than that either Horace Greeley
or Ulysses s. Grant. win be elected
on the 9TH of Noyember to control the
destinies of the country for. four years
from the fourth of March next In
view of the. sad experience of the past
four years, can any one long hesitate
which to choose Can any one in IA
vor of an honest constitutionaligoy-
ernment vote to continue in power
theicorrnpt and despotic Grant dynas-
ty, or fail to use every ,landable effort
to secure the triumph of the pripci-
Piles and policy set forth in the plat
form adopted by the Liberal Repnb-
Iicans at Cincinnati and reafiirmed by
the Democracy at Baltimore, by vot7
ing and flaboring for the election of
the candidates pledged to their sup
port? The maintenance of the consti-
tution, the right of local self-govern-
ment, reform in the civil SERVICE the
re-establlshment of friendly relations
between the different sections of the
Union, are reforms worthy the SUPP
port of every patriotic citizen, and
and they can only be established by a
change of administration, and in the
present posture, by the election of the
regular nominee of the Democracy,
Horace Greeley. s5e4fas 81 9las si3

711-
To Edwin Morton, Esq, Boston:
DEAR SIR-Thy note of to-day is
just received. In replying to it, l
must promise that have no intention
at this time of entering into the ques-
ton Of the Presidency, further than
to say that the recent complications OF
this question may be largely attribu-
ted to an attempt to forbid the right
of choice of candidates to Repnbli-.
cans in advance of the nominating
convention, and to the deliberate in
suit to the friends of freedom in the
treatment of Senator Sumner. Asre-
kards the subject of thy inquiry /
have no hesitation in saying that l
place q very high estimate upon the
character, moral and intellectual, of
Horace Greeley. He is a man of
whom mis- countrymen, irrespective of
politics, may well be proud. He has
built up in his sixty years q noble rep
utation. The poor attempts to ridi-
cule him and to underrate his emil
nent ability at the present time, on
the part. of some of our Republican
papers, are best answered by the eu-
Iogiums bestowed upon, him in their,
own columns heretofore He can
well afford to smile at the feeble arr
rows of sarcasm which are expended
on his "white great coat" and fail to
reach the man beneath it. Personally
he is the most popular man in the
United States. 1t is very possible
there may be good reasons why he
should not be President, but they are
not found in his moral character, his
intellect, his principles, his purposes,
hiS EnoWIadue N r fha infaresfc and hest
resources of the country / have no
wish, as have no reason, to withhold
my good opinion of an old friend, at
time when soEmany Republicans
deem it advisable, as party expedf-
ent, to assail him personally as well as
politically. .
am, very truly, thy friend,

The New Y ork Times has a three
column editorial on Senator Trum-
BULBS political record. All that it
amOnntssto is to- show how important
his action i'm the canvass is regarded
by the Grant brigade. Such stupen-
dous efforts to counteract his influ-
ence show conclusively that they re-
gard it as. dangerous. When the
Grant organs begin to accuse Libcr-
al leadersit is. safe to, assume. that he, is
doing good work for Greeley, and
when they abuse Greeley himself, it
is good evidence thai; they are alarm
ed at his growing strength with the
people. 800 iasd I,agi
