81. THE GALL OF PATRIOTISM ,afr-
1t stified the cry of party at the de-
mand of the country, it silenced the
voices of ambition, of pride, even OF
an earnest and honest and lifelong an :
tagonism. 1t said to its opponents,
in the presence of this impending
peril, to avert this threatening dahger |:
We accept your invitation, we will
lay aside our prejudices, we WIN hold
in allegiance our differences, we Will
accept your platform, we will adopt
your candidate. He has been our
most constant, most able most ihvet-
crate, most demonstrativs opponent
on s questions ofLthe past, but Il he
is right on the great questions fof to-
day. . - -
oo Wewil be faithful to him asT he is
faithful to the cause II We will bring
all the power of our Organization, all
the persuasion of our authority, all
the fidelity cultivated by our pripci-
pies, our history aud tradition, to aid
you in this struggle, and If we shall
succeed we wifi bear to you the hon
ors and offices and emolunents we
will ask from you nothing but that
you restore peace to our people and
purity TO our Government. -,

Horace Greeley Resumes His Edi-
tOriaI Duties,

The New York Tribune of Nov. 7th
contained the following:
A CARD The undersigned resumes
the editorship of the Tribune, which
he had relinquished on embarking III
another line of business six months
ago. Henceforth it shall be endeavor-
ed to make this thoroughly indepen-
dent journal, treating all parties and
political movements with judicial fair
ness and candor, but counting the favor
and depreciating the wrath of no one.
If he can hereafter say anything that
will tend to heartily unite the whole
American people on the broad platform
of universal amnesty and impartial
suffrage, he will gladly dose For
the present, however, he can best com.
mend that consummation by silence and
torbearance. The victors in our lare
struggle can hardly fail to take the
whole subject of Southern rights aud
wrongs into early and earnest consider
alton, and to them, for the present, he
RENTS the subject. Since he will never
again be candidate for any Office, and
is not in full accord with either of the
great parties which have hitherto di-
vided the country, he will be able, and
will endeavor, to give wider and
steader regard to the progress Of
science, industry, and the useful arts,
than partisan Journal can do and he
will not beeprovoked to indulgence in
those bitter personalities which are
the recognized bane of journalism.
Sustained by generous public, he will
do his best to make the Tribune pow
er IN the broader field it now contem-
plates, as when human freedom was in
peril it was in the arena Of political
partlzanship.

TIE BOSTON FIRE.

The details Of another dire calamity
by fire are before the country The
principal part of the business portion Of
the city of Boston is in ruins, and "The
Athens of America" suffers only second
to that of Chicago by a terrible conha-
grafton. About 70 acres of business
blocks have been burned over, involv-
ing loss of somewhere in the neigh
borhood of one hundred million dollars,
bringing ruin and desolation to many
who a few days ago were in wealth and
af1uence Although We are without
any definite information on the SUBJ
Ject, yet it is safe to assume that many
Insurance companies must be totally
ruined by this great fire, which will
undoubtedly bring another insurance
panic on The country. No estimate
has yet been made of the amount of
insurance, but it must be connted at
many millions. How many companies
can stand this tremendous strain, com
ing on in such rapid succession after
their fearful losses in Chicago, remains
to be seen. The deepest sympathy is
felt for Boston all over the Union, and
already the country is rendering what
aid and assistance are necessary to re-
heve the present wants of the stricken
people.

THE GREAT TRIUMPH.

The returns of the vote in the
Union make it certain that Grant has
gained the greatest political triumph
ever achieved in this country. Thirty
States have been carried by Grant with
293 electoral votes, leaving the seven
states of Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Maryland, Missouri, Tennessee, and
Texas with "A electoral votes, for
Greeley, by small majorities. The
majority for Grant on the popular vote
is about $50 900.

Various suggestion as to treatmen
have been made, and two or three of
them are given herewith, that may be
useful In emergency. Mr. James T.
Fulton. Of the International Hotel,
Niagara Falls, recommends the follow
ing
keep the horses comfortably bl.n-
keted, and quit working them. [ used
a powder twice day, composed of por-
ash and tartarized anthony, (three
ounces), made into twenty powders.
Keep the nostrils spoDged out with a
solution of vinegar and camphor and a
little ammonia. Give soft feed, such
as mashes and cut feed Do not give
them any hay except such as is cut
ror any dry oats. In the first stages,
if severe, give for the first two days
small doses of aconite, one in the morn
ing and one in the evening. They
are GOOD to prevent any fever or dis
ease for reaching the lungs. Out Of
every horse in this place having it, only
one has died, and that from starvation
and hard work, being turned out on
the common to starve and freeze at
night. The disease lasts about two
weeks, and generally the worst of it is
over in ten days. Don't fail to use a
counter-irritant on the throat, but not
severe enough to blister. Alcohol or
mustard or ammonia and sweet oil,
or even strong liniment, are very good.
A little walk in your yard will do the
horse much good, if they feel like
moving ; but don't let them get warm
ed up or drive them at all. OF course,
you know all about it, but | felt: that
[ must write to you about my expert
ence. Any horse that is driven ought
to be free from checking, and a little
chance to Craze is good for them. The
lower the head is in feeding the better

GENERAL GEORGE G.. MEADE.

The country will be tllled with sor-
row on reading, this morning, OF the
death of Major General George q
day, at his residence in Philadelphia.
1t was briefly announced yesterday that
General NJ cade was i'll Of pneumonia
but it was not supposed that his illness
was at all serious, and the announcement
of its fatal termination comes with
shock.
General Meade was one of the few
officers who, during the great war Of
the rebellion, rose above the surface-of
mediocrity, and that, too, by sheer force
of merit His successes were uniform
and of character and magnitude that
went far toward effecting the final result
of the struggle. His memorable victory
at Gettysburg may be termed the pivot
al point of the war.
| General Meade was born in Cadiz,
Spain, in 1916, his father, R. w Meade,
being at that time United States Con-
sui at that port. He graduated at
West Point in 1885, and served in the
army continuously till the time of his
death. He served in the NJ exican war
as Lieutenant, and was pro NOTED to a
Captaincy in 1856. In August, 1861,
he was appointed Brigadier General,
and took part in McClellan's peninsular
campaign participating in the battles
of Gaines Mill and Malvern Hill, in the
latter of which be was wounded twice
He commanded division at Antietam
in September of that year He was
soon after raised to the rank Of Major
| General, and commanded a corps at
Fredericksburg under Burnside and at
Charlottesville under Hooker
| About this time the powers at Washing
ton began TO realize that the best officer
of the Army Of the Potomac was occu-
plying subordinate position, and on
the 2Sth of June he was given the cLief
command of the army in place of Hook
er, whose unfortunate affair atChancel-
lorsville had placed him under cloud.
A few days after he fought and won
the battle of Gettysburg. In the
month following he crossed the Potom-
ac, but the condition of his army and
the state of the contest elsewhere not
warranting a forward movement, moth
ing was done excepting some desultory
skirmishing with the advanced posts of
the enemy. When General Grant took
| command of the Eastern forces in per-
son and began his campaign against
Richmond General Meade became
second in comand, and so high was
| the appreciation in which he was held
| by the Commander-in-C Chief that the
latter wrote concerning him, 81 tried
as far as possible to leave General Meade
in independent command of the Army
of the Potomac"
The history of the Richmond cam
paign is too familiar to the reader to
require resume Of it here. 1t is
sufficient to say he fought in the Wild
erness, at Spottsylvania and at Cold
Harbor, and participated in the siege Of
Petersburg
In 1866 General Meade was appoint
ed commander of the Third Military
District. composed of Georgia, Florida
and Alabama. When the army was
finally reduced to peace footing he
was given command of the Department
OF the East, with headquarters at Phil.
adelphia.
General Meade was thorough soldi-
er and pure hearted patriot, and his
