A MATTER OF DEBATE.

1t is matter Of debate just ex-
actlyl how much Horace Greeley
knows about farming. There are
other questions, however, hardly 80
doubtful in their nature, one OF
which is: How much does England
really know about this country? A
late number of the London Stand
ard says that ''the political cam
paign just opened in the United
States has caused hundreds ofstreet
riots, men and women have been
shot down for their political senti-
ments, and a reign of violence and
blood shed has been inaugurated
which we pray England may never
see. An exchange imagines that if
the Standard could only have a
photograph of DR.. Greeley cutting
down scrub trees with his little
hatchet at Chappaqua, and the logs
for miles around covered with poll
ticians waiting to interview him, its
statements would have assumed a
rather different coloring.

A GOOD RECOMMENDATION

Mr.. Greeley, on the 9th of Janu.
ary, 1871, as presiding officer of the
Republican General Committee OF
the City of New York, used the fol
lowing language with reference to
General Grant. i He, apparently
was not at that time opposed to the
reelection of President. He said
"As to the Administration oi
President Grant, l recognize no one
as Republican who is not greatful
for its judicious, energetic, and sue.
cessful efforts to procure the ratifi.
cation of the Fifteenth Amendment,
that keystone of our political arch,
whereby the fruits of our great tri-
umph over rebellion and slavery are
assured and perpetusted., That the
President has made mistakes in ap-
pointments is obvious. 1t would
be strange, indeed, if one SO expe'
rienced in the conduct of political
affairs, had wholly escaped them.
While asserting the right of every
Republican to his untrammeled
choice of a candidate for next
President until a nomination is
made, l venture to suggest that
General Grant will be far better
qualified for that momentous trust
in 1872 than he was in 1865" --..-
This is a tolerably good recon-
men dation of Grants fitness to
serve another term as President.
He has made a good Executive, and,
according to Greeley, is better quail
flied now than when first elected.
Why then oppose him now:

PLAIN TALK.

The following is the manner in
which Mr.. Storey of the Chicago
Times, the leading Democratic pa
4 per in the north west, pays his re-
spects to that crowd of Cincin
natl:
You two-tenths want to nomi
nate ticket for us eight-tenths, and
Yet not consult us about the men.
We eight tenths tell YOU two-tenths
that you can't do it. and we tell you
further, that if you declare the
Democratic party must die, in or
der to elect your ticket, we tell you
the Republican party must die also.

UNDER KEEPERS.

Greeley is under keepers. Each
Saturday they trust him TO 60 to
Chappaqua to cut down a tree, bu,
on other secular days he is shut ur
in the Astor House, and all cards Of
visitors first pass through the hand:
of John Cochrane, and those visi.
tors whom Cochrane sees fit to ad
init to Mr.. Greeley's presence are
furnished with a pass. But the
great majority are forbidden to see
Horace. This silly performance
contrasts strongly with the course
pursued by Mr.. Lincoln after his
nomination. Day in and day out
at his home in Sprinfield, in large
room in the Capitol, did the Hin
ois rail-splitter have the doors
thrown open, and every man. with a
card or without,w with gloves or horny
handed, had free access to the man
of the people. But Greeley is only
permitted to see the exclusive few
who can pass muster with John
Cochrane. rs5s -s-.E -,H

ANCIENT MUSIC.

The Jews had no written music:
had scarcely vowel in their Ian
guage, and yet according to Jose
phus had two hundred thousand
musicians playing at the dedication
of the Temple OF solomon. Mozart
would have died in such 4 concert
in the greatest agonies. The Jew
ish trumpets that made Jericho s
walls fall down were only Il cows
horn with three or four holes in it:
they had no other instrumental mu-
sic but hy percussion. of which the
greatest boast was made was the
psaltery, 4 small triangular harp ol
Tyre, with strings, and struck with
an iron needle or stick. their sacbut
was something like bagpipe: the
timbrel was a tamborine; the dulci-
mer was horizontal harp, with
strings, and struck with = psaltery
stick. The Egyptian flute was
same as the Jewish. and their harp
had only three strings. The Gre
cIan Tyre had only seven strings,
and was very small, being held IN
one hand.

AN INDIAN WAR IN PROSPECT.

Gen. Sheridan advises the War
Department that there are about 2
600 hostile Indians collected near
Fort Berthold, who have declared
their intention to oppose the pro
gress of work on the railroads this
summer. They have torn up the
stakes planted by surveying party
in the Powder River country. When
the railroad companies shall have
pushed their work to the west side
Of the Missouri the Indians contem-
plate concentrating their forces foI
a general hostile movement in mass
against the companies. They mum.
Der among their leaders the follow
ing well llknown hostile Indian chiefs
Setting Bull, Black Moon, Iron Dog,
Iron Horn, Four Horns, and Long
Dog. These Indians are well armed
and equipped.

THE SPANIARDS.

The prompt measures taken by
the commander of the u. S. wal
vessel Kansas, to prevent an out
rage on an American steamer by
frigate Pizzaro, will be, commended
by all our people. The impudent
conduct of these Spaniards will yet
force our Government to give them
lesson on courtesy. u A few more
such attempts to interfere with our
marine, will send Shot across a
Spanish bow which may lead to
something worse. We wonder il
Spain really wishes to provoke wal
with the United States. 1t looks
that way sometimes, but surely they
are treading on dangerous ground.
In her present disturbed condition,
Spain could make but feeble resis-
tance to. the United States, and
would have much to lose by de-
feat. The recent speck of war in
the West Indies proves that our ma
val officers are on the alert, and are
ready for tussle with the Dons.

THE REJECTED STONE BECOMING
THE HEAD OF THE CORNER.

The Pittsburgh Commercial says
evidences continue to accumulate
on every hand that, save and except
q few colored conservatives scatter
ed throughout the country, the en-
tire mass Of the negro voting popu-
lation win support the nominees Of
the Philadelphia Convention. This
is the tenor of the Democratic press
on the subject, North and South.
They see that their future prosper
ity and advancement can only be re-
tarded by arraying themselves
against the party, to which they are
indebted for whatever political
rights they enjoy. 1t would be GU.
rious if in this campaign, the stone
which the builders rejected should
become the head of the corner, and
the colored element should deter
mine the election of the next Presi-
dent. Yet such a result is by no
means impossible. Four years ago
the negroes were not enfranchised,
except in very few States, and so
far as the North is concerned only
those State having the smallest col
ored population. This year, for the
first time in the history of the
country, the colored vote becomes
an important element in the Presi-
dental election. The next electoral
college will consist of three hun
dred and fifty-seven votes, of which
the old slave-holding States have
one hundred and thirty four, the
Western States one hundred and
two, the New England and Middle
States one hundred and nine, and
and the Pacific States twelve. The
popular colored vote will be mainly
concentrated in the eight States of
Virginia, North and South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Missis
sippi and Louisiana, whose total
population, according to the last
census, was 3,6S1,554 whites, and
3,24l ,057 blacks; so that the aggre-
gate colored vote will fall but COM
paratively little short of the white
vote; and when reinforced by the
white Republican element of those
States, may quite possibly turn the
scale of some which are now set
down as pretty certain for the De
mocracy. In Illinois, too, the col
ored vote will reach nearly six thou
sand; in Indiana it will be at least
four thousand, while New York will
poll fully ten Thousand colored
votes, and Pennsylvania quite as
many. 1t is, therefore, by no means
impossible that they may hold the
balance OF power between the par.
ties, and determine the complexion
Of the government for the next four
years to come.

The greatest Improvement in the
telegraphic art since the invention
of telegraph itself, is now being in
troduced on the Western Union
lines. i"
By the old system the line could
be used by only one operator at a
time throughout the whole length
of the circuit. The new invention
is what is called the double trans
mitter, by the use of which single
wire can be made to do double duty
at the same time, that is to allow
the two. currents to meet and pass
each other without interruption.
All telegraphers have considered
this wonderful feat a practical i'm
possibility, but a Boston inventor,
Mr.. Stearns, has risen above the
obstacles, and rejoices in the GER
tainty of an accomplished fact.
The Western Union Company, with
its usual sagacity, has purchased
the entire right, and is having the
new apparatus put in as rapidly as
it can be manufactured. In speak

WONDERS OF. THE YELLOWSTONE

The geological survey Of the
western territory of the United
States for the present season has
been concluded, and Professor Hay
den, chief Of the expedition, has
returned to Washington. His party
numbered thirty five. and seven
weeks were spent in exploring the
wonderful region of the upper Yel-
lowstone river and lake, and the
source of the Snake and Missouri
rivers, in Southern Montana. The
Yellowstone lake eight thousand
feet above the sea level, the highest
lake in the world except Titicaca,
in Peru, was thoroughly sounded
and explored, and the districts in
which are the hot springs carefully
surveyed and the temperature Of
the water recorded. In the Fire
hole basin in the valley of the Fire
hole river, are between one thousand
and fifteen hundred of these hot
springs, the temperature Of which
ranges from $50 to 1875 degrees, the
boiling point of water at that eleva-
ton being only 1872. The ''Grant"
geyser throws a column of hot wa
ter eight feet in diameter to height
of over two hundred feet at regular
intervals of thirty-two hours, while
others are in almost continuous op-
Grafton. The geological formation
of the valley is wholly volcanic.
The soil is fertile, but unproductive,
owing to its great elevation and low
temperature. Professor HAYDEN
brought back several tons of. geo.
logical specimens with him, which
are now at the Smithsonian Insti-
tute. ....,..,
