Unpublished Letters from Horace

From Hdrildnd's Geta Of tks Wesf Clsc11ol
Among the many letters received bv us from
the late Mr.. Greeley, the following NAV he
worthy place in history. In March we wrote
him urging him to use his influence to have the
Cincinnati convention postponed until the same
day and hour a. the rep 1biican convention. His
reply was a. follows:
NEW YORK March Il, 1872
DEAR SIR: ! have yours of the lStn inst. I
natl convention will 1 expect to be governed
by its decision, and | judge that it will know
better what to do in May than 1 know IN March.
@. 4. HorilGnd, Esg., Chicago.
In writing MIR. Greeley in June we alluded 10
The nomination in our state of Governor KOer-
ner, and also hunted that the democrats might
drop Senator Trumbull il they got control OF
the legislature. MIR. Greeley's reply was a. fol-
lows:
NEW YORK. JIne %. Is72.
My DEAR SIR: | DO not believe a liberal leg
lslature will oust Senator Trumbull, no matte I
though IT lie mainly composed OF democrats
This IL new departure, and old party lines will
not govern II. Trumbull il needed in the SEN
there.
Judge that Koerner viii rally the Germans
generally TO our ticket Ii SO, he cannot be
beaten. Yours, HORACE GREELEY.
C. 4: Hari'aRd, Esq, Gem Of he West, CasedSO,
In October during Mrs. Greeley's severe uI-
ness, we wrote him a letter OF sympathy, and
added that it might be well for his friends 70
send George W. Hatton, the colOred orator TO
Onlcdgo. Mr.. greeley replied a. follows:
New YORK, Oct q. 1872.
MY DEAR SIR: We can get no negro votes,
for several reasons. l. We have no money >
They do not believe We can succeed. 3. They
don't believe in us.
My friend, spend no money that you cannot
spare, and let the election 90 as it Shall please
God.
My wife is better.
Yours, HORACE GREELEY.
Q. A. H1riIdnd, Esq, Ed. Gem, Csicdgo.
Mr.. Greeleys las: letter TO us was one of the
last written by him, Nov. 10. He had heard of
attempts being made TO injure US, and wrote as
follows:
NEW YORK, Nov. 10, 1874.
DEAR SIR: Nv misfortunes do not s.come
single file, but in battalions.' yrieve that you
are also sufferer by our disastrous canvass 1
cannot say that see any light ahead.
Yours sadly, Horace GREELEY

ADJOINING the property Of the United States
he called attention 10 the great improvements
which had been made since members were last

asked to share the eNpense with the citizens
out what was more Just that il should pay for
improvements TO Its own property. A different
theory had prevailed i'm the early DAYS of the

literally with the District as the city OF Wash

the national capital should be made the expo
nent of the civilization OF the country.
Without concluding, Mr.. Chipmsn asked leave

He was capable of good npulses and kind sc-
tons, but the impulses were often checked by
dstrust, and the actions were often prompted
and moulded by selfish aims. His vanity was
prodigious. He thought himself. for many
least expression OF dissent from this opinion, or
OF disapproval OF what he had said or done,
would sting him into an outhurst OF fury, or
ma den him to q long ht of sulien resentment
The idea that, under any conceivable ciTcum-
stances, his powers could decay or his reps
tation decline filed him with wrsthful liSmay.
CaTicature of himself, no matter how delicate
nor how funny, he could net admire. His per-
sOnal peculisri les were to be held sacred, and
no one must laugh at them-yet, unhsppily,
some OF them were among the most laughable
of csmic attributes. OF self-poise. conscious
res titude, patience, and meek submission he
did not possess a particle. Nor was his intellect
broad enough 10 afford him consolation under
the wounds that his vanity so often resolved
All his resource was 70 shut himself up in a
kind of feudsl retreat and grim secluSon, where
he brcoded upon himself as great genius mis-
understood, and upon the rest of the world as
sort of animated scum. This was an unlovey
nature-but mingled in it were the comprehen-
sion and the mcipient love OF goodness, sweet
ness, beauty, great imaginings, and benifcent
ideas He knew what he had missed, whether
OF Intellectual grandeur, moral excellence or
the happiness of the affections-and in the soli-
tude of his spirits he broOded upon his misery
The sense of this commended him to the sym
pathy when he was living and il com mends his
me mory to our respect in death.

The Credit MObiIier Investigation
SPEAKER BLAINR's rKsTIMoNY-WHA~ cor
M'CONB SAYS

A'COMB SAYS.
The Washington correspondent Of the New
York Times says that it is reported that Speaker
Blaine told very simple story in his testimony
before the Credit Mobilier invests ating com
mttee Of Congress on Thursday, to the following
efect:-That some time IN 1867 Mr. Ames
offered to sell him 81 ,eOo worth OF Credit Mo-
biier stock at par, he stating the prospective
value OF 1t to be very great, and that il would
be very profitable investment. Mr.. Blaine
slept on the proposition one night, and came to
the CONCLUSION that it would not be a proper
thing for him to buy under the circumstances
and therefore declined the proposition.
The Washington correspondent of the New
York TIibune says" Speaker Blame denied ali
knowledge OF The Credit Mobilier or Of its use
or corrupting influences in Congress. His de-
him when the letters OF Cakes Ames were frst
made public. A member OF the COMMITTEES
subsequently said that whoever might be i'm
iplicated, Blaine was innocent Col. McComb
Gays that he does not know anything in relation
10 the publication of the Ames 1etters-who
did it or through what agency it was accom-
hispea Una. uh N tact It was several days after
dsne. He was frequently approached during
the campaign for Information in regard to it, but
una.ormly refused tossy anything on the subject.
Mr.. McComb does not claim to have personal
knowledge OF bribery and corruption OF mem
bers Of Congress by Anes except in one proni-
nent instance, and this he does absolutely knew
OF his own personal knowledge. For the rest
he has only Amess statements and admissions
to him, verbally and in writing. What these
admissioDs were he will tell, IL examined upon
