Horace Greeley no Longer nm Editor.
Our telegraphic dispatches. yesterday,
inform us that Horace Greeley has with
drawn himself from the field of journal
ism. This is o wise step on the part of
"Uncle Horace, and we regard it as ad-
ditional proof, if such be needed, that
that old white hat OF his covers "level
head" AS editor OF the Tribune, Mr..
Greeley not only deprived himself of the
powerful support of that able paper. but
was placed in such an embarrassed and
vulnerable position, as could not have
failed to damage seriously his prospects
and the cause of Liberal Republicanism.
Freed from such Bhackles, the Tribune
will now, under the competent manage
ment OF Mr.. Whitelaw Reid, prove o
mighty champion in the political strife
that is approaching. and the venerable
old philanthropist can sit quietly aad
comfortably under his own vine and fig
tree at Chappaqua, till the voice OF o
grateful and admiring people shall sum-
mon him to the higher honors OF the
White House.

ground. The building was used as o
soap factory, and contained large
quantity Of hides, bones and tallow, be-
sides an immense number of barrels and
stave boxes, for packing the produce of

the Marion Fire Company, who were
NARROWING at the Schutzenplatz, forsook
their amusements. and rushed over in o
body to contend with their old enemy.
Being without their machine, they could
do nothing towards arresting the pro-
gress of the flames. Breaking into the

The following letter from Judge

The following letter from Judge
Brinkerhoff will be read with interest.
The Judge was an Adams man st the
Cincinnati Convention, and has been
put down with Judges Matthews and
Hoadley, as boilers from the nomination
OF Greeley, and as having declared that
he would support Giant rather than
vote for Greeley. The Grant organs
were very exultant over his apparent de-
feotion, and were loud in their encomi-
ums upon him. We wonder what they
will say now, or if they will publish this
letter?
The following letter from Judge Briu-
kcrhoff appeared in the Cincinnati Ga
zette, of Saturday:
In my letter, which you publish this
morning, through typographical error,
[ um made to say what do not wish to
say, viz: eve shall continue to halt
until we find there is some better road
to travel" The word ''some" should be
no." in order to be as I wrote it. In
short, I want it understood that if she
Presidential contest is narrowed down
to choice between Greeley and Grant,
and platform no better than that adopt
ed at Cincinnati, certainly shall snip.
port Mr.. Greeley, and in that conclusion
I think all free traders should concur.
If the Democratic party endorses Mr..
Greeley, he will certainly be elected, and
if elected, he is bound by the platform
to accept the will of the people upon the
tariff question, as they shall express it
through their representatives in Con
gress. Now, the Democrats, by joining
the Liberals. con make the organization
thus formed as overwhelmingly free
trade as the Republican party is now
protection. In short, the Liberal party,
under suoh circumstances, will be essen
TALLY free trade party, and as such,
should receive the hearty support Of all

THE TESAc1rY OF TnUTH.-When- nation as
clear-headed as the Americana once become
convinced, from long experience and observa-
ton, that an article posseases superior e1-
cellence as medicine, not all the preposter-
GUS clamor OF all the worthless nostrum ven
ders in the universe can shake their belief in
it's efficiency. Truth is very tenacious
thing, as these worthless are beginning to dis
cover. PLANTATION BITTERs has too firm a
hold upon the popular esteem to be in the
slightest degree effected by the cold water
diatribes which the advertisers OF fermented
slops, without particle OF alcohol" are so
fond OF launching against alcoholic prepa-a-

peerless renovant and tonic does contain
spirits. but it also knows that they are of the
purest aud most wholesome description, viz:

A Hindoo once said to one OF the mis-
sionaries: "Reviling our gods, criticising
our Shastras, and ridiculing our ritual
will accomplish nothing; but the story
which you tell of Him who loved and
pitied. and came and taught, and
suffered, and died, and rose again-that
story, sir, will overthrow our temples,
destroy orr ritual, abolish our Shastras
and extinguish our gods.

YANKEE Ku K1Ux.-The New York
Herald gives this account of the murder
of Vanoil in illinois,:
"a band of Ku KIux, masked and
dressed in long white robes, with black
borders, and displaying the skull and
cross bones, rode up to the house and
delivered to him an ominous looking
document, ornamented with large Ku
kln1 seal. This paper ordered him to
make restitution of property in certain
cases, to cease cohabitating with the
widow of his nephew, and to perform q
number of other acts, under penalty of
death. This notice gave the old man
great alarm, and he faithfully promised
to perform everything required of him.
He complied with every demand, 80 far
as he could, and, thinking that no dan
ger WAS to be Rpprehended, on Saturday
last returned to his home, which he had
temporarily vacated. About IL O'Clock
on Monday night, after he had retired to
bed, MIR. Fancil was aroused by knock
ing at the door, accompanied with the
order to come forth Upon opening
the door he was confronted by twelve
masked men, disguised as before, who
instantly seized him, and, despite his
cries and the entreaties of his wife, to
whom he had been married bat short
time, without affording him timo to
dress, hurried him off through the
woods, distance Of three quarters OF q
mile, where they hung him to limb of
tree. Before leaving the house the in
mates were warned against making any
noise or of following the Ku Klux; con-
sequentiy they remained I.iet until day
light, when search wall made and the
body of Mr.. Vancil was found suspended
from tree. Life had been extinct
several hours when the body was found
''Murder has become so common in
Williamson County as hardly to be con-
sidered crime, at least thirty homicides
having taken place within the last twelve
years. A beautiful state of society this,
to exist in the great State of Illinois.
Vancil was seventy-Gvo years of ago,
quite infirm. and was worth about
$50. .0O0."
No one will say that thero have been
as many murders committed in tho whole
South Us in this one County Of Illinois.
But no Judge Bond is sent there. No
Scoggins' gang to arrest the citizens. No
Bosher, Pearson, Joe Crews and such
scum with troops to harass the people.
Was there ever such shameful discri-
mination before in the worlds history?

The CABINET The Boston Post says:
"Mr. Greeley's honesty OF purpose
counts o great deal for him, nnd it is
freely suggested that with we'll chosen
Cabinet he could put the Union on the
right track again. With Charles Francis
Adams, say, for Secretary of State. there
would be no paltering in our foreign
policy; with Trumbull as Secretary Of
the Treasury, there would be no miserly
boarding Of gold or ruinous fluctuations
in the money market; with Hancock as
Secretary Of War, the records of the De-
partment would not be mysteriously
missing; with Cox as Secretary OF the
Interior. civil service reform would not
gasp for life, while il these names were
not sufficient, q splendid talent would re-.
main for his bipartisan choice. There
are Doolittle, Cowan, Hendricks, Schurz,
the silver-tongued, Thurman, whose
logic and strength Of intellect are fami-
liar in every State, Gov Parker, whose
wise policy in New jersey has excited
such commendation, Gov. Seymour, of
New York. Palmer, Of Illinois, English,
of Connecticut, Atkinson, Endicott,
and others of Massachusetts. The list
is brilliant one, and when Greeley
appears as the central figure, the pre-
sent Administration, with its gold stocks
in waiting and its dilettante statesman
ship, does not provoke unlimited en-
thusiasm."
