Senator Schurz's position with re-
ference to the Greeley movement, is
still involved in cloud of doubt. The
Greeley men are unremitting in their
efforts to induce him to come out
openly in support of the ticket. In
conversation to-day with correspon.
dent, Mr.. Schurz said that he had not
consented = speak at the Greeley rati-
fication meeting in New York, as re-
ported that that story was probably
started to smoke him out, but that he
did not intend to be caught in that
trap At the proper time and in his
own way be would state his views to
the country, and no person could in
fluence him to pursue any other course.
1t is currently reported that Mr.. Schurz
will not define his position until after
the Baltimore Convention, and that he
is pledged to repudiate Greeley il the
Democrats make regular nomination.

A verv sad case Of drowning occur
red here, on Sunday night, but was
not discovered until to-day. A young
woman, name unknown, aged about 10
years, from Fort DodZs made her ap-
pearance here o few days since, hav-
Ing with her an infant which she de-
sired to give away to some person,
but being unsuccessful In doing this,
some time ON Sunday night she went to
the Boone river, wrapped the infant in
q shawl, aud drowned it. On the fol-
lowing day she called at the postOfIice
and requested the postmaster to write
a letter to her friends in Fl. Dodge, stat
ing that she had found place for her
child, and would return In few days.
The sudden disappearance of her child
caused some suspicion, and upon being
questioned by the Sheriff she confessed
having drowned it, and went to the
river and pointed ont the spot. The
remains Of the child were found, still
wrapped i'll the shawl. Tho woman is
now in the hands Of the city authori-
ties, and her trial will probably come
of tomorrow. The affair has caused
much excitement In our little city.

In February 1871, Greeley said of
Grant and the Republican party as
follows in the New York Tribune:
We like Gen. Grant; but we care
moro tor Republican ascendancy than
for any mans personal fortunes. 1t is
In our view, Of great importance that
the opposition shall be kept out of
power, while it is of comparatively
small moment that A or b should
tenant the White House. For q Demo-
cratic national triumph means a restor-
alton to power Of those who deserted
their seats in Congress and their places
under the last Democratic President
TO plunge the country into the Red
Sea Of secession and rebellion. Though
you paint an inch thick, to this COM
plcxion you must come at last. The
brain, the heart the soul, ofthc present
Democratic party Is the rebel element
at the South, with its Northern allies
and sympathizcrs. II is rebel at the
core to-day, hardly able TO reconcile
the defeats of Lee, Johnston, Bragg
Hood and Price, and the consequent
downfall of its beloved Confederacy
with il traditional faith In Divine
Providence. II would hail the election
of Democratic President in 1872 as {
virtual reversal of the Appomatto,
surrender. 1t would come into power
| with the hate, tho chagrin, the wrath
the modification, of ten bitter years
to impcl and guide its steps. 1t woul,
