MR.. GREELEY's EFFORTS TOWARD
RECONCILIATION.

Gen. J. D. Imboden publishes long let
ter in the Richmond Wig, addressed to
Col. Geo. W. Boiling, of Petersburg, Va,
relating incidents in Horace Greeley's past
personal efforts to further the cause of re-
Cancellation in Virginia and other Southern
States. The General asserts that, but for
NJ. Greeley's skill as pacificator, Virginia
would be to-day in as terrible condition
as South Carolina. The following letter
written 10 Gen. Imboden recently by Mr..
Greeley, is not only significant but interest
ing:
sNEw YORK, June 90, 1S72.-My Dear
Sir: have your letter to Mr.. w. Reid.
81 would not wish to publish anything
with. respect 10 a private conversation with
President johnson without his assent.
81 did visit him Just before Congress as
sembled after his Inauguration. supposed
| was invited by him, but would not assert
il if he dissented.
81 did advise him to call three represent
alive Northern men and three equally emf
nent Southern men to counsel him as to the
best mode of pacifying and harmonizing
the country. ! asked him to advise these
to remain in the White House as his guests
until they should have agreed upon plan
of reconciliation-he meeting and consult
ing with them whenever his daily duties
should permit.
81 did suggest to him as conterees on
the part of the North Gov. John A. Andrew
Of Massachusetts, Gerrit Smith, OF New
York, and Judge Rufus p. Spaulding, OF
Cleveland, Ohio.
81 did propose that he should designate
and invite Gen. Robert +. Lee as one OF
the cOnferees on the part Of the South.
"IfI named another Southern man to
him. cannot now recall the circumstance.

cause it refers solely to my own action in

the colloquy, | cannot speak without his
permission. But you are at liberty to send
this letter to him, and he may state what
he said on the occasion or not, as he shall
see fit. can remember nothing more of
consequence said by me on this occasion,

The utmost any plan Of reconciliation which

THE prominent Democrats who support
Greeley have escaped, in great measure.
the ISLANDERS, defamation aud foul-tongued
scurrllity ofthe g rant press; which have
mainly devoted themselves to maligning
and eliminating the distinguished Repub-
lican leaders who have gone with Greeley,
men like Trumbull and Doolittle,
and Schurz and Sumner, and Generals
Banks, Palmer, Fitzpatrick, Averill
and others. They have been so busy in
pouring filth over the cid leaders of their
party, including Greeley and Brown,
that they have no time to expose the Lib
eral Democrats. They can't find accusations
infamous enough, or language vile enough
to apply to The men whom, until lately,
they have always praised and upheld

WHY have Democrats always so rigidly
adhered to their party, and voted, as it used
TO be said in the olden time, 'the printed
ticket" Because they loved the principles
their party advocated. They loved their
party and its organization because Of their
devotion to its principles. Their motto as
Democrats was, Omitted We stand. Di-
vided we fall" They knew that in null
titude of candidates there was division and
defeat. They felt that even bad conven.
ton was better than a bad split. Hence
they stood by their organization and were
unconquered even in defe at.

The stomach as am Avenger.

For every breach of the laws of health that we
commit the stomach inhicts a penalty. Head
ache, biliousness, nervous tremors, constipation,
collie, heartburn, nausea, debility and mental de-
preston are only a few of the punishments
which an outraged stomach is capable of impos-
ing upon us. To bring back this vengeful organ
TO its normal conditiOn-to placate, invigorate
and regulate it-there is nothing in the wide
world so pOtentas a course of Hostetter's StOm-
ach Bitters. Under the operation of this benef-
cent vegetable corrective and tonic the gastric
juice becomes pure and healthful solvent and
resumes its natural flow. The effect is the same
ON the hillary secretion, and in fact on all tbs
fluids of the body, and the final result is the re-
moval of every painful or unpleasant symptom
occasioned by the rebeIlOus action of the diges
gestive organ. sep3 deOd1w&w1t 3dD

A VOTE in the parlor of the White
Mountain House at Carroll. N. H., few
evening since, resulted in II for Greeley
and Z for Grant. The ladies were also
allowed voice, and gave Mr.. Greeley a
majority of in a vote of 80. This is
rather against the assertion of women's
Fighters that the women are almost unani-
mously opposed to Greeley.

The Banner says that Conventions
though they met and resolved fifty times a
day cannot make statesmen" Very true,
but they can, if strictly adhered to, keep
the neutrality-suspicious. party
off the people of Tennessee. If every
Democrat exercises his right to be candi-
date, then the contest between Democrats
is one not of principle, but of personal re-
cords and personalities in general, leading
to dissensions, disorganiza.ion and defeat.

EDITOR REGISTER The tom-tit

tian brain seeking knowledge as to
date of the return of J. ?. Jones
from San Francisco, where he has
been for some months diligently at
tending to his business-and to that
branch of business that directly in
terests the people of Nevada, and
particularly to the interests of those
who have been feebly breathing in
these surroundings for numbers of
years of late, and with a partner in
i'll health, has to this date success
fully warded off the intendeddestruc-
tive blows aimed at the vital interest
of the State, projected by that i'm
mense combination of power-the
Capitalization of railroads, bank
rings and other destroying elements
to the one common center and for
the n purpose selfish ~aggrandize-
ment at the sacrifice of the small
remnant of vitality left gasping over
the land. They appear insanely eS-
ercised at the probability of Jones
reaching a seat in the United States
Senate, and with their subsidized
pens squirt away at him with an
effect almost equal to that of an effort
made by an ant to bear away a n
elephant. Sympathetically inclined
as l am, and possessing some knowl-
edge of the purposes of Mr.. Jones
in San Francisco, l will, with the
hope of relief to those weak Drained
loiterers say to them that. Mr.. Jones
will return when the purposes of
his absence have been accomplished,
and also call their attention to the
fact that his existence does not de-
pend on a seat in the United States
Senate. Even if it did, they could
not send him or prevent his going.
[ am not of the political flock of j.
P. Jones, and my preference would
be for one selected from the party of
my own belongings. Yet, candor
forces one to say hat his occupancy
of a seat in the United States Senate
would at least have the good effect
of casting off the habiliments of
mourning that the State has been
clothed with in consequence Of the
intolerable mocking of State repre-
sentation in the national council
since the date of State organization.

His Letter IN Seeding from the Support
Of Grant and Wilson.

Boston, July 81, 1872.
My DEAR SIR: l have the honor to
acknowledge by this note, in addition
to our conversation to day, the receipt
of your invitation to address the citi-
zens of Lynn on Thursday evening in
support of the re election of Grant and
the policy of his administration.
No invitation could have greater
weight with me rom any part of the
country, nor from any portion of my
fellow citizens, and it gives me great
pleasure to assure you that nothing
could be added to your suggestion, as
the representative of the citizens OF
Lynn, 10 induce me to accede to the re-
quest.
Their kindness to me many years
since is a continued life-remembrance,
and nothing would give me- greater
satisfaction than to renew my
tons with them; but l regret TO say
that l am not in accord with them in
regard to the Presidential
Against my wishes and my personal
interests. 1 am compelled to believe
and say that the perpetuation of the
present policy of the government is
not for the advantage of the country,
and that it will not tend 10 establish
its former good and prosperity, o to
promote the interests of any class of
citizens. No personal feeling of any
form or character enters into this indg
ment 1t is in view of general princi
Piles and public interests alone that l
am led to this conclusion.
The uniting of the masses of the PEG
pie OF all parties, sections. and races in
support of the grand results of the war
Is Indispensable TO a permanent estab-
iishment of a general recognition of
these results. 1t can be secured by no
other means We shall be forced TO
this conclusion sooner or later.
This united action upon this basis
has been the hope of my life. fer
vently desired it during the war, and
in the reconstruction of the States sub
sequent to the war. | believe 1t Is now
rendered in good faith III the nomina-
ton of Greeley. and for II | cannot
reject it. 1t was what desired.
Its contamination, although sudden
and startling, does not alarm me. My
duty to myself and my country ne
quires me to give him my support. l
cannot advocate before your friends a
different course which neither my
Judgment nor my heart approves.
1t grieves me most deeply to separ-
ate myself i'll thought or act from any
one of those with whom | hav been
so long associated. and to whom | am
so greatly indebted. but l believe the
result will justify my action. give to
the country that peace and prosperity
which is the object OF all our labors.
and secure to every citizen civil and
political equality. and that freedom
which was won by the sacrifice OF so
many valued lives.
Accept the assurances of my lasting
friendship and esteem, and believe me
yours, etc, y. p. BANKS.

RENO, August 16.-The Susaaville
stage left at 3 o'clock this afternoon,
and about a mile above town was at
tackled by three robbers. The driver
was ordered to stop, which he de-
clined to do, when his horses were
shot and wounded SO that they could
not travel. A brisk fire then began
between the robbers and four men
on the stage. and eighteen or twenty
shots were fred, but the stage mems
ammunition giving out, the robbers
went through them, getting $50.
Thomas, tue driver, is the man who
shot one of the robbers who stopped
him eighteen months ago.

GRAND II
William NJ. Tweed:

Grant said in 1868: 1.-The liberties
of the country cannot be maintained
without a one-term amendment to
the Constitution"
Yes, but he was not aware of the
profits that could be realized from
the office at that time. He has, by
actual experience, learned that a man
IAN lose $40, 900 during the term of
four years, and his love of country
prompts him to sacrifice another
500. 900, or more. He IS a liberal
critter.
