SHoRT-sIGH Old Horace Gree
ley didn't see, when he penned the
following vigorous words, that in
the process Of time he would be
praying to be made that same "mas-
ter spirit" of that same Democratic
party. How will the writing on his
grave be now, and how great debtor
has he become. Read the tribute he
pays to himself and friends:
"Point where you please in an
election district which you will pro-
nounce morally rotten-given up in
great part to debauchery and vice
and that district will be found at
nearly or quite every election, CIV
ing large majority for that which
styles itself the Democratic party.
Take all the haunts of
debauchery in the land, and you will
find nine-tenths of their master spir-
its, active participants of the same
Democracy. = May it be
written on my grave that 1 never
was a follower, and lived and died in
nothing its debtor"
Like a true patriot, as he was a
year ago, the prospect of the Dem
ocratic party coming into power
filed his soul with such terrible
prospects, that in the anguish OF
fear he unburdened his heart as fol-
lows:
at is rebel at the core today,
hardly able to reconcile the defeats
of Lee, johnson, Bragg, Hood and
Price, and the consequent downfall
Of its beloved Confederacy, with its

The following is the additional
article to the Treaty of Washington,
as amended and agreed to by the
Senate; yeas, 43; nays, IS;
WHEREAS, tie Government Of Her
Britannia Majesty has consented in
recent correspondence with the Gov
ernment of the United States to a
tribunal of arbitration at Geneva,
that such indirect claims as those for
national losses, stated in the case
presented on the part of the United
States Government, to have been
sustained by loss of American COM
mercial marine to the British flag,
the enhanced payments of insurance,
the prolongation of the war, and the
addition of large sum to the cost
of the war, and the suppression of
the rebellion;
Firstly, they were not included in
the Treaty Of Washington; and fur
ther, and
Secondly, they should not be ad-
mitted in principle, as growing out
of acts committed by particular YES
sells, alleged to have been enabled to
commit depredations on the snip
ping of a belligerent by reason of
such a want of due diligence in the
performance of neutral obligations,
as that which is imputed by the
United States to Great Britain; and
WHEREAS, both Governments
adopt for their future principle, that
claims for remote or indirect losses
shall not be admitted as the result
of failure to observe neutral OBJ
legations with each other. Now,
therefore, in consideration thereof,
the President of the United States
by and with the advice consent Of
the Senate thereof, consents that he
will make no claim on the part of
the United States in respect to indi-
rect losses, as aforesaid, before the
tribunal of arbitration at Geneva.

THE New York World has an

conclusion that Greeley will be the
man, and the World has all along

adequate reason for its "change of
heart as Van would say. The
World has contended that, as the
Democracy would have to furnish
nine-tenths of the votes necessary
to elect Horace, he should be pledged
to make his Cabinet Democratic, and
as it now accept his nomination and
pledges in advance its support, Hor-
ace is doubtless pledged to give the
Democracy the Cabinet. How is

congregated at the hotels and vari-

waiter was unacquainted with, he

WILLIAMS COUNTY Republicans, at
their convention to nominate county
officers, appointed delegates to the
Congressional Convention (yet to be
cailed) of the Sixth (Toledo) dis
trict, and instructed them to vote
for General I. R. Sherwood for Con-
gress. Williams county is Sher-
woods home. The Convention was
large and harmonious, and an inter
esting feature was the presence of
several Democrats for the first time
in a Republican Convention, they
preferring to take Republicanism

dilution.

INFORMATION received from various
portions Of the country confirms the
view that Greeley will damage the
Democratic more than the Republi-
can party. Very few Republicans
are giving aid and comfort to the
new movement, while very many
Democrats are outspoken in their
opposition to the idea of adopting
him at Baltimore. Our belief is that
his candidacy will positively
strengthen the Republican national
ticket.

The Cincinnati Industrial Exposition
The premium list and rules of the
proposed Industrial Exposition to be
held at Cincinnati, is published, to-
gether with the proceedings Of the
Exposition of 1871, which was a
most notable success. The Exposi-
tion will be on so large Il scale as to
deserve and attract the attention of
exhibitors and visitors flOm all parts
of the Union. Last year the Expo
sition had exhibitors from twenty
nine States, and, during the month
it was open for inspection, 100000
visitors were in attendance. The
premium list for the coming exhibit
ton has been largely extended, in
Guiding 666 medals to be awarded
for the first degree of merit. The
five buildings give seven acres of
exhibiting space, distributed into
sixteen departments. The Machin-
cry Department will be run by four
first-class driving engines Of 500
horsepower with nearly 700 feet of
main shafting. Many new features
will be presented in the Fine Art,
Natural History, and Horticultural
Departments. The contributions
for the former already promised, in
sure an unequalled collection; the
wall space in the fire-proof building
devoted to this department is 1l40
running feet. The conservatory Of
the Horticultural Department will
be 140 by $50 feet, with roof and
sides of glass. The most liberal
premiums will be offered in this de-
partment, the istshowing that $4,000
will be devoted to this purpose; and
the competition on the premiums for
displays by States promises to be
very exciting. This great enterprise
is under the management of fifteen
commissioners, appointed by the
Board Of Trade, Chamber of Com
merce, and Mechanics Institute.
Copies of the premium list will be
furnished on application to Secretary
of the Cincinnati Industrial Expo
sition. The Exposition will com
mence September 4th and close Oc-
tober 9th.

enough Democrat for him, and two

Here is Greeley's summary of the
characteristics Of the Democracy:
ID " Morally rotten, given up in great part
to debauchery and vice, who subsist mainly by
keeping policy-oficss, gambling-houses, grog-
shops, and darker dens of infamy."
(2) Those whose political creed is, "LOUe
Ram and hate NiggeTs," and who ''read moth
ing but chance newspapers picked up for a
few moments in baT-TOOnl;"
(3) Those with whom ''to smoke is virtue;
to chew is that virtue intensified; and to drink
rum is that virtue in the superlative;"
(4) Those who sleep "six in a bed, exclusive
of other Uernia, including those at Sing Sing
and Auburn"
(5) Those s'wlite Democrats" who "no one
has any serious doubt are the fathers of nine
tenths" of "the mulattoes in this country"

dies" who are "almost unpnimously Demo-
crats;'
"a "Every one who chooses to live by pug
iIisn, or gambling, or harlotry, with nearly
every keeper of tipping-house;"
(8) The ''leWd, rufiantly, criminal and dan
classes" whose 'purely selfish interest attach
es them to the Democratic party by the in
stinct of elf-preservadon-the preservation
of their right to make gain OF others degrada-
ton"

crats;" and

and who now seek power only to regain what
was lost at Appomattoz.
