In reply to letter written by Senator Pal
mer to Mr. Greeley after the Cincinnati Con-
vention, in which Mr. Palmer alluded To- the
fact that he had called upon Mr.. Greeley in
December, 1865, to persuade him not to
publish the celebrated article upon General
Amnesty and Impartial Suffrage, because its
publication would prevent his elsrtion to the
United States Senate, and also to- other instan-
ces when he was in advance Of public senti-
msnt, Mr.. Greeley wrote as follows:

Tribune office, and was one rf the last letters

1t has been decided by the Court of Appeals
of Virginia that an executor who paid over to
the Confederate authorities under the con6sca-
ten acts of that government, legacy left by
Northern testator cannot now be compelled to
pay the amount of the legacy to the leSatee.
The Court says Of the executor that " he wise
ly declined contest with government which
the whole naval and military power Of the
United States could not subdue under four
years." and having yielded to the duress Of a
de facto government is absolved frem being
now held responsible for the legacy which it

THE OLD MANS DREAM.

Oh, for one hour Of youthful joy,
Give back my twentieth spring;
I'd rather laugh bright haired boy
Than reign bearded king.
One moment let my life-blood stream
From boyhood's fount Of fame
Give me one giddy, reeling dream
OF life, all love and fame!
My listening angel heard the prayer,
And calmly smiling said.
"IfI but touch thy silyer'd hair,
Thy hasty wish hath Sped"
"But is there nothing in thy track,
To bid thee iondly stay,
While the swift seasons hurry back
To find the wished for day!"
All, truest soul of ofwomankind
Without thee what were life?
One bliss cannot leave behind;
IN -precious-witc!
The angel took sapphire pen
And wrote in rainbow dew:
"The man would be boy again,
And be a husband toog'
"And is there nothing yet unsad
Before the change appears!
Remember all their gifts have fed
With these dissolving years"
Why, yes; for memory would recall
Ny fond paternal joys,
! could not bear to leave them all,
III take-my-girls-and-boys."
The smiling angel dropped his zen,
"Nhy this will never do;
The man would be boy again,
And be q father toov'
And so laugh'd-my laughter woke
The household with its noise
And wrote my dream when morning brol
To please the gray-hair'd boys.

the honor that belongs to that meritorious
act. More than this, they lost the right to
dictate reforms, for the Senators who cor
rected the evils about which they raised
such a clamor are now rightfully entitled
to be accepted as the true reformers, since
good deeds are surer title to pub
lie confidence than empty promises.
Again, the men who professed SO
much, and did SO little, are hereafter
to be confronted with the remarkable fact
that after their own excuse for delaying the
public business was taken away from them
they still held aloof from their public du-
ties. which proves that they had, what we
charged them with having, a secret pur-
pose, that they did not and will not give
to the community. And this, we say, is
the best reason why they deserve what they
have received, the loss of public conf
dence. They have refused to trust the
people, and now the people can not trust
them. We shall show hereafter what that
purpose was.

his signature, and the House, by a vote OF
seventy-three to two, sustained the veto.
The next message considered was that
vetoing IAN act giving to j. H. Cosgrove,
of Natchitoches parish, exclusive right to
establish a wharf at Grand Ecore, Louis
inna.' The Governors objection to this
bill is that it grants exclusive privileges
He considers this anti-republican, and for
that reason he refused to give his assent
to the BILL and the House concurred in his
veto by vote of seventy-six to one.
The next and last message, considered
Yesterday by the House, was that vetolng
''an act to incorporate the Crescent City
Waterworks Company, to define its rights
and duties, to punish offenses committed
against the franchises of said company
and the public health" The Governor,
in this message, states that he does not
believe the State should attempt to
deprive the city of New Orleans OF its
property, without its consent, for the
benefit of individuals whose only object is
speculation, and who will not give the city
compensation or public advantages COM
mensurate with their loss. He doubts the
power of the Legislature to do this, and
therefore refused to give the bill his assent
His veto of this oil was sustained by a
vote Of seventy-six to one.
The unanimity with which the House
sustained these veto messages of Governor
Warmoth must be favorably regarded
It implies that harmonious feeling exists
between the executive and members of the
House upon the subject Of reform; and it
is to be hoped the same spirit will grad
ually develop itself in the Senate, SO that
the work of reform may go on for the
balance of the session in both branches of
the Legislature
The veto messages having been disposed
of, the House next proceeded to consider
the resolution introduced by Mr.. Brown
some days ago, authorizing the appoint
ment of special committee of five by
outstanding unaudited warrants and
vouchers of the last session. Mr.. Stamps
offered an amendment to this resolution,
providing that no member Of the House
shall serve as member of the committee
appointed under the resolution in ques-
ton who is in any way interested in
any of the outstanding warrants or vouch-
ers, or was member of any of the
committees claiming mileage and per
diem for services during the recess. The
resolution and amendment were made the
special order of the day for yesterday, and
were called up immediately after the Gov
ernor's veto messages We're disposed of.
Action was first taken on the amend
ment to the resolution. The amendment
was rejected after considerable discussion,
and the resolution adopted by vote of
sixty-six yeas to twelve nays. The House
then adjourned until twelve o'clock to-day.

NEW ORLEANS REPUBLICAN, FRIDAY, JANUARY 26 1872

Pond, Barrow, Fontelieu, Cochrane ana
Bickham, and commit their interests to
the forty or fifty young bloods of the fourth
ward of the city of New Orleans, who have
appointed themselves the champions OF the
cause of the people. President Zacharle
and Secretary A. Cronan, Jr, have been
directed to publish to the world this new
arrangement in the columns Of the three
Democratic organs of this parish-the Bee
the Times and the Citizens Guard.
From the pronu nciamento of this juve-
nile iunta, we learn, for the first time that
the ''people of Louisiana" demand the re-
peal of certain laws and the enactment OF
others, without reference to the usual con-
stitutional forms prescribed for legislation;
and to that end required OF Messrs An
derson, Davidson, Thomas, and the other
gentlemen thus summarily read out OF the
Democratic party, that they should form
coalition with the Wilderness Republicans,
for the purpose chiefly Of taking from the
present executive certain extraordinary
power and patronage" and lodging
them in hands which will disseminate and
exercise them for the preservation OF the
rights of the people.
We all know what this means. Accord
ing to the can't of modern Democracy, "the
people, are the very few persons who ad-
here to the s'ancient traditions. ALI
others are carpet-baggers, plunderers,
scallawags, adventurers or traitors to the
South But, as it is after all question of
numbers, we are content to let the fourth
ward juveniles do the iboasting; other and
different men do the voting. Let these
young gentlemen offer all the counsel they
can suggest. When it comes to the final trial
Messrs. Anderson, Thomas, Davidson and
the others will be taken care of by their
neighbers, who know them and love them,
while the little atoms of our fourth ward
will have all they can attend to to take
care of themselves
