LAST LETTERs OF We. eREELEy.

The venerable Leslie Combs furnish
Is for publication some Of the last letters
ever written by Horace Greeley. The
General says hat "the slanderous injus-
tice Of the Radical party, and the gross
ingrattude of the black race, added to
his recent domestic af1iction, over
whelmed his sensitive mind, and con-
signed his body prematurely to the
grave" On the twenty-seeond Of Au-
gust Mr.. Greeley wrote:
1 have yours of the twentieth this
moment. I beg you, my old friend, not
10 borrow trouble about BlantOn Dun
cans Convention. If the South shall
see fit to r~e-elect Grant by fooling away
votes on a Bourbon ticket, that will cast
no shame on you or mt, any more than
Clay's defeat in 1874 did. Let us do U
duty and leave consequences to those
who Jus them.
Again, Mr.. Greeley wrote on the eighth
of September:
l have yours of the sixth instant.
You seem TO me disposed to think too i'll
Of such men as - Never mind
them. If they beat US, let us remember
how Henry Clay was beaten in 1874,
and say, "having endured that, nothing
less can eve annoy us.n We will do
our duty and trust the All-wise Dis
poser for the result.
On the twenty-eighth Of October Mr..
Greeley wrote:
My wife still fingers with us, but Is
very feeble. She may drop of any day.
] wish she were well and l lay where
she does.
Finally, on the tenth of November,
perhaps the last lines he ever wrote, Mr..
Greeley said in a letter to General
Combs:
Ny sky is black. l may e write
you again. I thank you for your letter
Of the fourth, and pray that the even ng
IF your days may be bright and sunny,
and that you may be blessed in your
and your family.
The following is the body Of a letter
by Mr.. Greeley on the last day
ne vas " at the Tribune ofiee, in re-
ply to one from Mr.. Mcclure expressing
lis sympathy with Mr.. Greeley for the
of his wife and the political misfor-
une that 50 suddenly followed:
NEW YORK, November 10.

ri RUmBER OF WOMEN EMPLOEED
IN HI POSTOFFlCE DEPART

TIE NUMBER OF WOMEN EMPLOYED
IN THE POsTOFFICE DEPART
MEET.
The Postmaster General, in respons'
to the Director General of Post, Prussia
says:
The number Of women now employ
ell in the postal service of the United
States is not large, and probably doe:
not exceed seven hundred in all, theil
employment being restricted to the posi-
ton of postmistress, clerks in local post
offices, and clerks in the General Post
Office Department at Washington. The
number of women holding the Office OF
postmistress at local pOstOffiees is about
five hundred out of a total of over thir-
tv-tWo thousand local ~pOstoffices, and
the number employed as clerks in the
local postofices does not exceed one
hundred. The number at present EN-
plOyed in the General POstofice De-
.DaTtment at Washington as t~ransactOrs,
.copyists, etc, is siXty-tbree, out of 8
total clerical force of three hundred and
ten. The women employed in the post
al service of the United States dis
charge the duties of their respective po-
sitiOns to the general acceptance Of the
department, and il is proper to state that
there is a growing sentiment in the
United States favoring the employment
of women in clerical and other minor
positions in the civil service, the duties
of which can be as appropriately and
satisfactorily discharged by women as
by men.
We publish the above as sustaining
the position which the APPEAL has
heretofore assumed. We agree with the
Louisville Commercial in the opinion
thst the above is a very high eOmpli-
ment to the sex, and will not be without
value to them both in this country and
Europe. There is a rapidly growing
public sentiment favoring the employ
ment of women in the civil ser
vice, and there is no reason ap-
parent to US why such employ
ment should be confined to clerical
and other minor positions" We hope
the day is not far distant when much of

Our good friends of the Louisville Courier
Journal speaks of us as the editor of the
the Knoxville Press and Chronicle" Al
though the Institution, represented by the lat
tor portion of the name, has been for some time
doing Us vast amount of personal service, we
aver most solemnly that it has not been under
our control.-PrcSS anil Herald.
We hasten to express to our contempt,
rary our sincere thanks for the above cor
rcCtiOn.
We notice that a few of our exchanges,
by mistake, of course, did the CHRONICLE
the injustice to charge upon its editors the
recent defense of character made i'll the
Chancery Court of this county. Know
ing the profound satisfaction with which
Mr.. Fleming assumed to regard that in
dicatiOn, we naturally expected tLat he
would eagerly correct it. He has done as
we anticipated, and i'll such a spirit as
makes it eminently proper for us to insist
upon the exchanges referred to, making
the correction promptly, land in such way
as tC repair, as far as possible, the wrong
tnnOCently inflicted.

fund.
The S625,OOO of which our good friend
speaks, was something over $500, 900 in
coln captured from the itinerant concern
claiming to be the State government of
tennessee. 1t was captured in Georgia,
and was part of the assets of the Bank of
Tennessee. 1t was returned to Governor
BrOwnlow. The Legislature of 1865, with
a cOmmendable zeal to start new school
fund instead of that stolen by the rebel au-
thorities, attempted to apply this coin to
this purpose. 1t was disposed of for United
States bonds, which bonds were, by a
Democratic Treasurer, deposited with the
Tennessee National Bank of Memphis
Under mlsmanagement and some corrup-
ton, which we have never Denied about
$4,000 of this amount was lost. Then it
appears, that while, under the mismanage-
ment of Republicans, $500, 900 was lost, not
of the original school fund, but of the
assets of the Bank of Tennessee, under
rebel Encouragement and corruption.
$500, 900, the original school fund, or thir-
teen times as much was lost. five admit
all that the Democrats charge upon Re-
publican Legislature, the fact would be
that Democratic Legislature, working to
destroy our national government, stole
thirteen times as much as the Republicans
in much shorter time. If we admit that
there were thieves who claimed to be Re-
publicans, we are bound to admit that the
Democratic thieves were more proficient
in their occupation, doing their work with
dispatch and on much larger scale.
Our good friend of the Sentinel asks,
with an air Of triumph, what has become
Of the $4,000 returned to the Republican
State government after the war? We an
swer, that, by the authority of an act of a
Legislature with Il majority of Republi-
cans, it was placed by Democratic State

By reference to the letter of Senator
Brownlow, it will be seen that our Uni.
versity is principally indebted to Sen atoI
Wilson, of Massachusetts,, for the very
prompt and favorable action of the Senate
on its claim for damages inflicted by the
Union army during the war. This is not
the first instance in which the people OF
Tennessee have received valuable aid from
this distinguished man, and we know
they will take early occasion to give prop
er evidence of the confidence they re-
pose i'll him and the high respect they
entertain for his pure life and exalted pub,
