FRIDAY. MAY 81. 1879.


The suggestion was made in our
columns, some weeks since, that in
the opening political campaign the
I, most damaging and effective weap-
,aons against the election of Horace
Greeley would be found in his own
record Of speech and pen. As a no.
table illustration of the fact we APP
pend the following short extract
from an address delivered by Mr..
Greeley, last fall, before the Trum-
bull county (Ohio) Agricultural So
ciety:
81 saw, the other day, a sugges-
ton that I would probably be the
best Democratic candidate to run
against General Grant for Presi-
! dent. I thought that about the
most absurd thing I ever heard or
/. read. If the Democratic party
were called upon to decide between
Grant and myself, know that their
! regard for what they must call
principle would induce nine-tenths
of them to vote against me. Why,
/ am a decided enemy of that party,
even in its most respectable as
} poets"
q The contingency above contem-
plated has actually come about. Mr..
Greeley is, to all intents and pur-
poses, the candidate Of the Democ-
. racy, and against General Grant
Here we have his own word for it,
that such candidacy is the most alb
'surd thing ever read or heard;
and the justification for the outburst
of derisive merriment with which
his nomination actually was received
by the country. That Mr.. Greeley,
less than year ago, should scout
the idea of Democratic support, as
neither possible or desirable, stoutly
proclaiming himself the uncompro-
missing enemy of that party even in
it's most respectable aspects; and
now be found obsequiously bidding
for its favor by the practical aban-
donment OF principles which have
come to be regarded as part of him
self, is another sad instance of how
the Presidential weakness will un-
make strong men.

Miss Nellie Grant, who is just
now receiving marked attentions in
London and Paris, is not quite seven
teen modest unassuming, sensible.
Without being beauty, she is very
pretty, having about her that pecu-
liar grace of youth and innocence
which is charming always. She is
about medium hight, little taller
than her mother, has light brown hair
large gray eyes, and fair complexion,
with delicate bloom in her cheeks.
She is graceful and quiet in her

her conversation.

Political Paragraphs.

The Chicago Post referring to the con-
slant reiteration, by the Greeley press of
the refrain, that "the nomination Of a
regular ticket at Baltimore means the
reelection of Grant," suggests that as
the endorsement of Greeley there, means
exactly the same thing, the alternative
presented to the Democracy, is nausea
ting dose Of Chappaqua castor oil and a
whipping on the one hand, and a whip
ping without the physic on the other
They "pays their money, and takes their
choice"
The Nation, which is not Grant pa
per, but originally inclined toward the
Liberal movement, is nevertheless able
to make correct estimate of the char
acter of the nominations made at Gin
cinnati. 1t says: "There is not po-
litical knave in the United States who
has failed to get what he wanted from
Grant who is not now working for Gree
ley. What they look for is facilities to
reach their ends through his weaknesses.
As Presidential candidate, he is the
attempt of the quacks, charlatans and
sentimentalists who are engaged in try
ing to substitute the heart for the head.
His election to the Presidency would be
the triumph Of the combined forces Of
corruption and folly"
Of the Democratic Congressman, forty
nine favor Greeley, thirty-nine bitterly
oppose him, and twenty one are on the
fence ready to jump on the side strong
est at Baltimore.
Grant is accused of being sporting
man." and yet it is suggestive fact
that the leading sporting papers of the
country, Wilkes spirit Of the Times"
Turf, Field and Farm, &C., are opposed
to his reelection. AS the joker of the
Chicago Post says, they "all bet on the
old white Hor'cc."
The Lewiston (Me.) Journal, Demo
cratic organ, says that the party in that
section are a unit for Greeley, the
grounds of their support being thus
candidly stated: "We 60 for Greeley
because it is the only chance we have OF
getting into power; and we believe that
when elected by us, he will change his
course and become practically Demo
crat, as we notice men are. usually mold
ed by those who elect them to Office
and our votes must elect him, if he il
elected at ALL"
A special to the Chicago 7ribun'
says: Senator Wilson figures that, o
the 1872 delegates to Philadelphia, 1St
are already either instructed for o.
pledged to him, while Colfax has bu

authorizes the Memphis Appeal, to con

to say that he has not pledged his sup
port to the Cincinnati ticket. This las
is the blacklist ingratude on record.

TERRIBLE CALAMITY OFF THE
LABRADOR COAST.
FORTY SEALERS DASHED TO
PIECES.
Probably Four Thousand Lives Lost.

New York, May 2s.-The Times
publishes the particulars of the loss
of vessels off the coast of Labrador
and Newfoundland during the seal
ing voyage this spring. Up to the
latest possible mail date over forty
vessels, including four steamships,
have,been heard from as total wrecks
having been dashed to pieces while
amid huge iccbergs and plains of
ice during a terrific hurricane. On
an average each of those vessels car
ried about 100 men, who were en-
ployed as seal hunters, and out of
those 1000 human souls, only us
have been accounted for. The large
majority of those unfortunates have
left families behind exclusively de-
pendent on them for support. The
following is a correct list of the ILL
