HORACE GREELEY's PROGRAMME IN
THE COMING CAMPAIGN.-Mr. Horace
Greeley printed the following in the Tribune
recently as to his course in the forthcoming
Presidential campaign +: "First. If there
shall be Democratic candidates for Presi-
dent and Vice-President in the field, we
purpose to support the Republican ticket,
which seems most likely to succeed
Second. If the main issue in the canvass
shall be protection against free trade, we
shall mo matter as to the candidates. be
found on the side of protection. Third.
But if las we hope and expect there
shall be two Republican tickets, and none
other presented with any hope Of succe IS,
we shall favor that one whose election
will be, in our judgement, most likely to
promote economy in public expenditure,
purity in legislation and administration,
substantial unanilnity in upholding for all
citizens complete equality of rights under
the law, and hasten the return of fraternal
concord and mutual good will between
those who were arrayed against each other
in sanguinary strength throughout our
great civil war. Such is our position, and
it will not be affected by the nomination OF
A or B, G or ID, at Cincinnati, Philadel-
phia or elsewhere" Mr.. Greeley further
says that the Tribune will not be an organ,
and will print no campaign editions, who
ever may be the candidate.

SUIT FOR MILEAGE.-Wc are informed
that Mr.. Lewis Ii. Bryant, member of the
House of Delegates from Grayson, has
brought suit, through his counsel, +. w.
Mayhood, Esq, against the Auditor of
Public Accounts, for constructive mileage
due him for attendance at the late extra
session of the General Assembly. 1t will
be remembered that joint resolution was
passed at the beginning of the extra session
declaring that no member should draw
mileage on account of the extra session.
We learn that the suit is based upon the
plea that the General Assembly may not
by joint resolution set aside the constitu-
tional provision which entities members to
mileage. The amount in Mr.. Bryant's
case WILL, we believe, reach about $l12,
and if he RECEIVERS, the way will be opened
to all members who choose to collect from
the treasury.
