4 Scheme to Defeat Greeley at Baltimore

\ special dispatch from Washington to
the Cincinnati Commercial says:
There has been, within the past few
days, rumor circulated very quietly to
the effect that powerful movement has
been organized to defeat the ratification of
the nomination of Horace Greeley by the
Baltimore Convention. The parties i'll this
movement are said to embrace wealthy
business men and bondholders, who be-
Iieve that Mr.. Greeley, if elected, would
not take such a course as to retain our pres
ent high financial standing among the ma
tions of the world, and also men of the
Dan. VOORHEES, stripe, who are opposed to
Greeley OH every account, by free traders
in the West, and by all dissatisfied Repub-
Iicans, who failed to secure the nomination
of their candidates at Cincinnati. 1t IS
represented that circulars of a confidential
nature have been sent out that letters
have been written to various parts OF the
country, and that the movement has al
ready such an impetus as to secure the
nomination at Baltimore of Republican
whose views in the past have been of a
more conservative and less prom bounced
character than those of Mr.. Greeley, and
whose personal record has been more con-
SiStent.

were drowned about one mile above this

on the river and their boat was upset by
the waves. The men sank Immediately
