Greeley's COsignatOry to the JET Davis
Bail Bond Goes Back on Him-His Letter
to Colonel MOsby-Grant VIII he Pre-
ferred Before the Chnppaqua Candidate.
RICHMOND, Va, June I, 1872.
James Lyons, of this city, who was the personal
friend OF Jefferson Davis, and who, with Horace
Greeley was on the bail bond OF Davis has written
long letter to Colonel Mosby, the guerrilla chief
in which he agrees with the latter in his opposition
to Greeley and uses the strongest arguments against
the support Of Greeley a Presidential candidate
by the South Mr.. Lyons who is one Of the most i'm
practicable OF Southern Bourbons, concluded his
letter as follows:-
will not vote for Grant II ! avoid II, II am
not forced to choose between him and Greeley; but
between them will vote for him. Although he
went INTO the war anu fought II OUT ana by the aid
OF foreign levfes conquered the South and sup
pressed the constitution, yet he did not, like
Greeley, labor for twenty years to get 1t up and
then stay at home to fan and urge the fiame We
know too, the worst of Grants administration; 1t
Is past. II there be any returning sense OF Justice
in the republicans they will do MS that Justice
even If Grant be President and controlling Con-
gress, and will prevent further mischief II they
will not they are unit to be trusted
with the government under any President. or
Greeley we know only that he is devoid OF
all capacity as a statesman; that he has been the
advocate OF almost every dsorganizing absurdity
which has annoyed the country and disturbed its
peace; that he has been consistent In nothing but
his enmity to the South; that with him he will
bring in men as hungry and as unprncipied as HIM
SELF with Summer at the head. l. for one, will never
vote for him; and trust the Baltimore Convention
will nominate some man for whom we can all vote,
and not commit what Senator Ferry properly calls
'midsummer Madness" Allow me to add that
think there ought TO be n mass meeting of the dem
ocratc party OF the State to appoint delegates to
Baltimore, and hope that you and other promi-
nent democrats, who are well known to the party
and have It's confidence, will call it,

NAVAL ORDERS.

WASHINGTON, June I, 1872
Commander E. p. McRea, detached from the com.
mand OF the Monocacy and placed on waiting
orders; Lieutenant Commander George W. Coffin
from the Constellation to the Naval Academy;
Ensign Thomas s. Phelps, Jr., from the Lackawanna
to the Independence; Surgeon D. Kennedy, from
the Ossipee and placed on sick leave.
The Secretary OF the Navy has issued o general
order relative to shore and duties of officers 1t
says
whenever an Officer at sea, ordered to sea-
shall be relieved at his own request he shall have
no claim for shore duty until he shall have made
cruise OF the usual length. When officer shall be
transferred from one shore station to another the
time spent at all the several stations shall be put
together and counted as his term of shore service
at the expiration of which he must at all times,
hold himself in readiness to join ship without delay
1t proper that junior officers should have the oppo
tunity to acquire rapidly possible the requisite
experience ut sea. and that the more constant and
severe duties of the service should devolve upon
them. They must, therefore, expect little employ
ment on shore, and must at all times hold them
selves ready for sea service. All officers are re-
minded OF the improperly of seeking to evade
their proper tours of professional duty on personal
consideration or through the intervention OF inlu-
entail friends thus seeking to impose upon others
perhaps hardshps and dangers which belong OF
right to themselves.

Board ought to be able to get new brooms
without any Intervention on the part of the
model contractor. However, the main point,
SO far as the public are concerned, is to have
the streets cleared of garbage as cheaply and
as effectually as possible. Provided this be
done it makes little matter who furnishes the
broom or who uses it. We hope the atten ton
of the new sweeping brigade will be primarily
directed to those localities where refuse has
been allowed to accumulate; for it is from
these pest spots that the greatest danger to the
health of the public arises. Let there be no
sprinklings and make-believe brushings, but
thorough cleansing of the hitherto neglected
districts; for it is only by adopting vigorous
and thorough measures that satisfaction can
be given by the new Bureau.

Booths Theatre,

! "Enoch Arden" continues the undiminshed at
traction at this theatre. The performance on
Thursday evening was witnessed by a large audi
ence, which seemed to manifest much sympathy
with the emotional part of the play. Indeed it is
pleasing to note that the acting in general and the
mise en- scene have markedly improved by repe-
tition. or the drama itself little need here be
said since 1t has already received ample comment
in these columns. Mr.. Edwin Adams in the title
role Is still painfully heavy and STACEY in the open
ing scene but as the play gains in tragic interest
he develops much pathos and power, and toward
the conclusion the intensity OF his acting fairly
the audience. His dying scene, in particular,
acts upon the feelings of the spectators like fune
raj pail. Mr.. +. G. Banks gained applause in the
character Of Philip Ray Mr.. A. W. Fenno as Ruben,
Mr.. James Stark as Captain Sterling, and Mr..
Robert Pateman Peter Lane were effective though
all more or less open to criticism IN their several
parts. Mr.. A. W. Fenno showed much subdued
pathOs in the last scene. Miss Bella Pateman
played the part OF Annie Leigh with commendable
7ervor and earnestness, though she by no means
fills the idea of the character. Miss Mary Wells
gave a good impersonation of Miriam Lane.

Journals About fifty American citizens of African
descent put In an appearance at the appointed
place of assembly shortly before nine
O'Clock; and at that hour Mr.. LOUIS II.
PUTNAM came forward on the platform and
called the meeting to order. After regrettng the
slim attendance, and expressing his opinion that
the inclement weather alone could cause such
number OF seats to remain vacant, he said that
there were present delegates who had Just returned
from the Colored Convention at Troy, N. Y, and they
were now ready to express their views and endorse
the ticket, which would meet with unprecedented
success bearing the names of Ulysses s. Grant and
Henry wilson. Appause.( He then begged leave
to introduce the Hon. w. II. Johnson, of Albany
Chairman of the Colored State Committee. Mr..
Johnson, who spoke at considerable length, said he
was there to ratify the nominations made at Phila-
delpha. He was there as a man and n citizen to
tell the people of the United States that although
the black men othe Empire State had but To- 000vote,
they would all be given on the side OF right truths
honesty, integrity and justice. In Philadelphia ne
groes met white men on common platform and pro-
per expression had been given to the Southern
sentiment of their race. Henry Wilson is as certain
of the colOred vote OF the nation as If he was already
elected. There has been no question In the South
among the negroes as to their choice between
Grant and Greeley. Any man who was In the
Philadelphia Convention on Thursday last must
have seen that Mr.. Greeley is in fact
wholly unknown to the colOred men OF the
South. He, Greeley, cannot carry one

GERMAN REFORMERS.
The Ineffective Results OF the REFORM
Movement.

The Ineffective Results OF the Reform
Movement.
The German Central Reform Committee, com
posed OF the delegations OF the German Assembly
District Reform organizations, held a meeting at
the Beethoven Club House last evening. In the
absence OF Mr. Oswald ottcndorier. Mr.. Koehler,
the Vice President, occupied the chair The Execu-
tive Committee submitted resolutions, which were
adopted by unanimous vote, declaring that the
ineffective results Of the efforts TO reach thorough
reform OF our city government could not fail to
create the utmost satisfaction among our
citizens, who earnestly hoped for the success OF
the reform movement; that experience during the
last four months has shown that party politics are
the greatest obstacle to the reform movement;
that to this obstacle Ia to be attributed the failure
of all measures OF reform proposed by the citizens
OF New YORK TO the Legislature, and that II is to be
feared that the evil Will increase during the ex-
element OF the Presidential campaign further,
that under such circumstances the selection
OF candidates will be more depending on
the strength they may add to the national or
State ticket than on their ability and character. 1t
was therefore, resolved that the organization shall
continue its Independent efforts to insure munich
pal reform BY the election Of an honest economical
and able administration; that the acts OF our pres
ent city officials shall be closely followed with a
watchnil eye, and that against all un-
fair and dishonest acts contemplated or
executed by such officers earnest and en-
ergetic opposition shall be made that they
shall insist on an energetic prosecution and trial OF
charges pending against corrupt officers before the
Courts and the Senate. Further, that steps shall
be taken to secure the cooperation in this matter
OF all other organizations having the same object
in view.
The Executive Committee was directed to adopt
measures to carry into effect the foregoing resolu-
tons.
special committee of ten was appointed to
take action to cause an investigation In the man
agement OF certain public institutions and to pre-
pare a report on the result OF such investigation
