Carl schurz,s NevE Move

the exact language suggested by Mr..
SehuFz In reference to the proposed New
York consultation:
The meeting of gentlemen opposed to
| the reelection of Gen. Grant which, ac-
cording to a dispatch published yesterday,
will be held in New York on the 20th OF
this month, is to be comprised of gentle
men representing all the different shades OF
| the opposition, not, as has been suggest
| ed in some quarters, of men unfavOrable TO
| Mr., Greeley as candidate for the Presi-
| dency. Its purpose is to unite all the
| elements of the opposition for common
| action. The list of the signers OF the invi-
tation as given in the dispatch can hardly
| be complete, as we have been informed on
| reliable authority that the use Of the name
| of Senator SchurZ was obtained only upon
the understanding that the invitation should
be signed also by some other gentlemen
| known to be friendly to Mr. Greeley, and
| distinctly representing the Cincinnati nomi-
nees, and should be addressed to prominent
men known to be ofthe same way OF think
ing.
The Republican further states that the
assumption which has gone out from the
East that because Mr.. Schurz was disap-
pointed in the result Of the Cincinnati
nomination, that he will not support Mr..
Greeley is very far from being true.
| We have no doubt whatever that
the, Senator, should no opportunity be EN-
braced before, will in his own empathic man
| ner establish the truth of this statement atth
meeting in New York on the 10th. The
Senator regards it as now certain that
Greeley and Grant viii be the only candi-
dates.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, June 14.-As an
act of Justice to Mr.. Voorhees,, his friends
REQUEST the publication of the following,
which will appear il the Terre Haute
| Journal tomorrow:
ga MEAN LIE.-One Of the meanest lies
vet started by the crazy GTeeleyites was the
| telegraph dispatch which they caused to be
sent all over the country from indianapolis
last Wednesday, stating that Hon. ID. w.
| VOORHEES, was defeated as candidate to
the Baltimore Convention by his district.
That report was utterly and cruelty false.
| When Mr.. Voorhees, reached indianapolis
! Tuesday evening, he was Immediately
called upon by his friends from every coun-
ty in the Sixth Congressional district, and
was urged to 90 as delegate to the Baltl-
more Convention from the district. MIR.
Voorhees, promptly and imperatively de-
clined the use Of his name in
that connection, and of these
facts there is abundant proof.
| To show that the district did not mean TO
repudiate his course, he was the next morn
ing unanimously agreed upon by the dis
| trict as a delegate for the State at large.
| This was done without the knowledge or
consent of Mr.. Voorhees,, and, as we un-
derstand, for the purpose Of preventing the
! action of the district on the evening before
| from being misunderstood or misrepresent-
ed, as it has been. Asto Mr.. Voorhees, po-
sition in this district, we know that he can
have the race for Congress by unanimous
| consent, and we further know that the
strongest Greeleyites in the district have ap-
preached him, urging his acceptance Of the
nomination as the only hope of carryingthe
district against the Grant party, and there
by saving the Congressman, the State ticket
and the Legislature"

GreeIey's Prospects at Baltimore.
New YORK, Juue 12.-The Post, to-
night, admits that the action of variOus
Democratic State Conventions, this week,
points to the ratification of the Greeley
ticket at Baltimore. 1t says:
"If by supporting Mr.. Greeley the Dem
ocrats can gain few votes in each State,
they can elect officers in such States as
Pennsylvania, Indiana, Texas, Louisiana
and Arkansas. The Democrats Of Penn
sylvania have already begun the canvass in
a manner to show their purpose. They
have nominated a good and strong ticket
for State officers, which with the aid of
disaffected Republicans they may reasona-
bly expect to elect. In Indiana they nOmi-
mated Mr.. Thomas a. Hendricks, one of
their ablest and NEST consistent statesmen,
for Governor, and with him expect to gain
that State. This rule may be successfully
followed in many other States, and the
Democrats may perhaps, also, by this
| means, elect majority of the next Con-
